My commitment is to support a person to be whole and healthy, at every stage of life. I seek to honor the deep and sacred understanding of how every moment is a potential transformation to be present, and open to life, and to the vastness of the heart.
Healing is the release of anything that keeps us from the present moment. Looking at any of the places we are stuck, this holds true. Whether the stuckness is a headache that recurs, anger that eats at us, a newly discovered illness, or a history of abuse. There is strange, mysterious, and ineffable force in the universe that supports each of us as we let go and move on. So healing helps us to find that essence, or core that is healthy, finding joy, and creating the life not only that we want, but the life that we were each meant to live.
What is a symptom really? People have come to me for healing since the early 1980s. What I thought I understood from the beginning that I was there as a trained professional ready to give treatment. If they could tell me where it hurt, I could use my learned skills from Chinese Medicine to diagnose and treat.
I no longer believe this. When a person comes in with a symptom, whether it is a sprained ankle, a digestive disorder, or deep depression, it is not only a symptom. The symptom identifies that something of great significance is out of balance energetically, and that it is a moment when what is being asked for is to find some original, healthy alignment, whether you choose to use bodywork, energy work, acupuncture, psychotherapy or another system you prefer.
As I look at the person with the symptom, it is clear that we are body, we are mind, and we are spirit. Each affects the other. Without any one of these working together with the others we can not become the whole person we came here to be. I intentionally use the word "whole". Becoming whole means that we are becoming more of who we are meant to be and able to be in the world, in a fuller and healthier way.
As in Allopathic Medicine, in energy medicine we also look for patterns of disease. The questions remain the same: Where did this pattern originate? What caused this person to be out of balance? You might add: Is this the family pattern? Was there trauma? What is unique about this person? But unlike Allopathic Medicine, I might add: What have they been born into this lifetime to heal? What is the gift that they bring to this world that healing this imbalance or wound offers? How do they achieve their highest consciousness? How does this pattern show up in their work, in their relationships? Are they aware of their own beauty, value, strength, or preciousness?
If there is a call to balance coming from any symptom, then healing occurs when the return of balance occurs. The symptom will release and it will stimulate the connection to something previously blocked in the body/mind/spirit. And the person will have access to his/her essence, authentic self, and life-giving self. Sometimes this happens during the treatment, or immediately after, or after some time and hard work.
Being under Eve Soldinger's expert care literally changed my life. My initial health complaint
cleared up quickly and I learned that Eve's work goes way beyond simply treating the
symptoms. Her unique blend of 5-element acupuncture and deep energy work addresses the
body/mind/spirit in a way which fosters personal, physical, and spiritual growth.
