We've all seen fireworks, been to firework displays, or seen them on television. Fireworks provide us with a visual feast, as well as some loud bangs and crashes to overload our senses.
The one thing fireworks have the ability to do is transfix an audience. When we look at fireworks we stare into the sky, almost hypnotized by the varying array of colours, shapes, sizes and undulating movement. One thing we rarely do is look at the little square or rectangular box that this display is emanating from. Of course that little box is the cause of the array of beautiful colours and shapes that we see before our eyes.
So how are symptoms like fireworks? We live in a culture that is transfixed with symptoms in the same way as we can be transfixed looking at fireworks. All our attention is looking at symptoms and the ramifications of symptoms. Many healthcare modalities are concerned with eradicating symptoms by working on or against the symptoms a bit like putting a big blanket over the dazzling coloured lights that come from the fireworks. However this just translates into working with effects and not cause.
How is Mickel Therapy different? Mickel Therapy teaches us to avert our gaze away from symptoms, despite their complexity and variety, towards the cause of those symptoms. Of course, this will seem strange and uncomfortable at first because it is unfamiliar, it is new. It also begs the question, if we don't keep focusing on the symptoms, analysing the symptoms and talking about the symptoms how will we ever understand them?
The answer is that Mickel Therapy does understand them. We understand where they come from and why they are there. In order for us to allow our bodies to stop sending those symptoms we need to fix our gaze very much on the cause of symptoms and how to deal with these rather than the effects of having them.
When we begin to look at the cause and then work with this then we can be shown how to take back control of our health. Through the application of the Mickel Therapy process, with the help of a supervised practitioner, a person can avoid being dazzled by the nature of symptoms and instead work with true cause to regain their rightful health.
