LEARNING FROM PAIN It’s important for us to understand that life is movement and movement is life. Whatever stops us from moving will stop our clients from moving. If you are working on releasing the tension in a client’s back while you are carrying great tension yourself, you are going to have to work that much harder. But self-care changes the story for both client and therapist. If we treat all parts of us, and work on all parts of us, and care for ourselves first, we function at our best and are better equipped to help others do the same. Self-care is simple, free, and of amazing value. I would like to invite all of you to take care of yourselves first, so your life is fuller and happier and you ultimately can be of maximum benefit to your clients. Meir Schneider, PhD, LMT, is founder of the School for Self-Healing in San Francisco. He healed himself of congenital blindness and developed an original holistic approach to health through a unique combination of therapeutic massage, movement, and natural vision-improvement exercises for prevention and rehabilitation of degenerative conditions. A globally respected therapist, educator, and bestselling author, Schneider’s latest book, Awakening the Power of SelfHealing, will be published by Self-Healing Press later this year.
