Physical Pain and the Miracle of Esoteric Connective Tissue Therapy

Despairingly I stood, thinking to myself “What am I to do? How can I do it?” I had already walked 50 metres from the car park and the shop where I needed to buy a few things for dinner that night was only another few metres along. I stood trying to decide whether the level of pain would allow me those few extra steps – but then the thought of having to actually walk around the shop as well as the steps back to the car saw the fortitude dissolve. Was I really listening to my body or was I giving up – giving in to the pain?

That was only a few months ago.

The story of the on-again/off-again severe physical pain in my body began more than 30 years ago when a fall on my tail bone at a wet and greasy petrol station in Melbourne caused tears to flow for most of the 2 hour journey back home to country Victoria with 3 young children in the car.

The x-ray suggested a possible hairline fracture of the coccyx, but little did I know at the time that this was to be the commencement of years of pain, incidents and surgeries as I continued in the momentum of pushing myself to cross the things off the ‘to-do’ list and getting the job done.

Yes, there was much for me to learn about listening to my body.

Roberta Himing – ‘I was Owned by Constant Physical Pain’ 

By late spring 2013 constant physical pain owned me. Everything was governed by the level of pain that I was in – where I parked the car, where I would shop and ‘if’ I really needed to shop, who I would visit and could I even manage to visit… did they have stairs? A visit then was not an option.

I was in physical pain doing everyday activities (walking, cooking, weeding etc.), but often my back would also ‘lock’ causing me to stay in whatever position I was in at the time (sometimes up to several minutes where I could not move). Although a level of pain was constant during this period, sometimes it was more extreme than others.

Looking back, ultimately the excruciating back pain saw me calling an ambulance late one night, unable to put one foot in front of the other; subsequently I lay for 5 weeks on my side, not moving. An MRI showed 4 bulging discs and one ruptured disc. I feared I would not walk again.

A frozen right shoulder and a badly torn cartilage in my left knee soon followed, with keyhole surgery resulting for the knee. My knees and ankles would often let me down at the most inopportune times so I resorted to wearing flat shoes, just in case.

Early 2000 Roberta Himing is Introduced to Universal Medicine and the Esoteric Modalities: Beginning to Develop Awareness of the Body 

These incidents were all before I introduced myself to Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine. In the early 2000’s I commenced as a potential student with Universal Medicine and the opportunities arose bountifully to observe my previous reckless and disregarding behaviour more honestly. Pain in the body continually resulted in many visits to the G.P. along with x-rays, scans, M.R.I’s etc. Two cortisone needles into the bursa for revealed bursitis produced unsatisfactory results. The x-rays showed then there was nothing wrong with me… I felt to see a hip specialist – but the doctor said not necessary, the meniscus was in great shape, no hip replacement required. Basically they couldn’t work out what was going on. Was it all in my head?

Despite this, we had to move from our house about 15 months ago because it became too painful for me to pull myself up the stairs while gripping the banister to get to the bedrooms and bathroom.

During these past several years I have been receiving the most divine assistance from a few practitioners working esoterically, Neil Ringe being the most regular one whom I visited for Esoteric Chakra-Puncture. During these years of pain his true knowledge, deep love and wisdom were supportive to my healing my body. At an appointment with Neil late last year it was indicated there was a possibility, a potential, dependent on my developing awareness about taking notice of what my body was trying to tell me, that healing for the constant physical pain I experienced could indeed take place. I held onto that, but at that time did not trust myself really. In early 2013 there were another two hernia operations.

In September last year the pain increased. I felt ‘use-less’: I had allowed the constant pain to own me. Further x-rays, scans on ‘whizz bang’ updated machines, and a couple of M.R.I’s later now showed all the degenerative stages of the chronological age of this body, including scoliosis, narrowing of the spinal canal, atherosclerosis etc etc. plus now the new kid on the block – muscles had fallen from my right hipbone. By this point my husband had to take over the household chores and drive me to doctor’s appointments.

It was about this time that the Expo for Body Mind and Soul was to be held at the Convention Centre on the Gold Coast. I felt how important that event could be to expose the Gold Coast to the Esoteric Healing Modalities, however up until days before I had not rostered my name on as a practitioner – after all, I was walking with a purple walking stick – how could I be a practitioner with a walking stick? But I must have trusted enough innately. Unbelievably I had no pain for the 3 days I attended the expo.

However the physical pain in my everyday life returned thereafter. My G.P. suggested a referral to a Neurosurgeon as he indicated that it was difficult to fathom what was going on – he was perplexed but could not help me. Arrangements were made for me to have a ‘Disability’ sticker for my car and a referral to an orthopaedic surgeon was prepared.

My GP said that the body does have an amazing ability to heal itself but meanwhile I had better be in touch with a Pain Management Clinic and continue taking quantities of strong pain relief tablets.

Esoteric Connective Tissue Therapy… The Beginning of a Miracle 

In late 2013 I finally listened to and acted on inner promptings and made an appointment to see Kate Greenaway, a Universal Medicine esoteric practitioner, and commenced Esoteric Connective Tissue Therapy sessions: I recall my level of constant pain then being gauged as at least 8 out of 10. The subtle but ‘power-full’ modality of Esoteric Connective Tissue Therapy began its magic. I diligently did the ‘sliding/gliding’ exercises Kate recommended.

She reminded me that I was not the pain. The physical pain was not who I was. It was my experience, but it did not define me.

These words caused a light-bulb to go on. There was a knowing, a deep awareness that a miracle was occurring within my body: I sensed the connective tissue fibres ‘re-growing’… it seemed as though I could feel the muscles somehow re-attaching themselves to my hip bone, like ‘picking up dropped stitches in a piece of knitting’. There was a knowing that through the Esoteric Connective Tissue Therapy sessions there was the potential for healing. At last I started to truly listen to my body. I knew it was time to share with others my experience of this amazing and awesome modality.

My next visit with Kate Greenaway in early 2014 saw the level of physical pain as about 5 – 6 out of 10 as a constant, but I knew that if I focussed on my body a little more deeply and the fact that “I indeed was not the pain” there were endless possibilities. Just trust. It is almost the end of April 2014 and I’ve not needed to use pain relief nor the walking stick for about a month. The pain percentage now would be about 5 -10% which occurs only when I basically ignoreand stop listening to the signs from my body.

I’m still learning to evaluate and listen to my body as to how far to walk so as not to cause distress and pain.

This evening I walked along the foreshore, not on the soft sand yet, but enjoying nature, feeling the sea breeze and marvelling at the wonder of the body and how it reflects to us just how we have treated it in this and other lives… have we respected it or been in total dis-regard?

I sit here typing this unfolding story with no physical pain evident. The Universal Medicine healing modality of Esoteric Connective Tissue Therapy has revealed to me the depth of healing that potentially is possible when one gets themselves out the way to re-connect with that deep and quiet place within.

This has been a Miracle – (an everyday miracle).

Update: as of August 2015 Roberta Himing continues to live pain free. To this day she regularly does connective tissue exercises and continues to receive Esoteric Connective Tissue Therapy sessions a few times per year. She recently travelled to Costa Rica where she did a days rainforest trek and crossed several swing bridges across cavernous ravines . . . and all with no pain!

  1. This is an extraordinary turn around Roberta, and a beautiful testimony of how deeply healing the Connective Tissue Therapy modality is for the body.

  2. This is truly an example of the power of reconnecting deeply to our body and how it can heal itself when we start to honour this connection and deeply nurture our body in the process. Why Roberta has done with the assistance of Esoteric Chakra Puncture and Connective Tissue Therapy would not have been possible with modern medical procedures alone. It was with them being utilised synergistically that the massive healing occurred.

  3. Getting underneath our presenting symptoms to the energetic root cause is so important. Thankyou for sharing your story Roberta.

  4. Learning that we are not the pain, despite it being intense, was a revelation for me. I have experienced back pain since childhood, and find that information, alongside Esoteric Connective Tissue Therapy, to be a great support.

  5. This is an amazing story. Yes, I agree – Esoteric Connective Tissue Therapy is an amazing modality, but true healing cannot take place without us taking part in it.

  6. An amazing story as is the modality known as Esoteric Connective Tissue Therapy – a true gift from Heaven.

  7. This is a remarkable example Roberta of our body’s innate capacity to heal itself if we are willing to go to the energetic root cause of our malaise. How often are we ‘pushed from behind’ to go into drive and get things done rather than deeply connect with our body and allow it to move in tune with the greater body (the Universe and its cycles) that we belong to? Not in a fluffy spiritual way but with a deep honouring of the fact that we are love and there is a way to allow our bodies to move in expression of this.

  8. There is such a different way for us to look at pain and our relationship with it – is it that we see pain as a burden, or is it that we see it as a point of communication from the body to ask us to look at how we are living.

  9. Esoteric Connective Tissue Treatment are powerful to experience – its like having all the dots and dashes joined up again to restore a fluidity in the body and a return to inner harmony.

  10. Thank you Roberta for sharing this very relatable story. How empowering it is to come to a point where you were able to cease identifying with the pain as something personal and allow yourself to open to being far more than a human body.
    “She reminded me that I was not the pain. The physical pain was not who I was. It was my experience, but it did not define me.

  11. What pain does is to bring us in full motion movement. The body is no longer anchored; it is debased; it lacks a base. Esoteric Connective Tissue Therapy brings that body back to a place of repose, a place that we all know too well, a place that brings us back to something we know is true. At the same time, it brings the body to a new alignment that helps with the physicality.

  12. ‘She reminded me that I was not the pain. The physical pain was not who I was. It was my experience, but it did not define me.’ We can get so absorbed by the presence of pain in the body that it becomes the be all and end all of everything, in fact the more energy we give it the more it seems to take over. This does not have to happen as you clearly see here.

  13. Roberta this story is just one of miracules! Incredible. Yes, the benefits of Esoteric Connective Tissue Therapy are beyond words – I find everything re-adjusts in the body as any jamming of tissue fluid begins to flow once more leaving the body supple, light and deeply connected.

  14. I can see how when someone is in that level of pain for any extended period of time, to the point of barely being able to function, they begin to identify themselves with the pain, and therefore the pain intensifies. It’s as if the pain is saying “oh, you think I am all encompassing and powerful? Well yes, I’ll show you how strong I am” and the pain intensifies to the point where it seems like it is us. So it is so beautiful how Kate Greenaway shared with Roberta how it doesn’t have to be that way, and the connective tissue treatments and exercises that she offers have an almost miraculous ability to reconfigure our whole body, since the connective tissue is so vast and interwoven into the whole body.

  15. Wow that is deeply inspirational. Thank you for what you have shared here because when someone is in pain it governs their whole way of thinking and being as you shared at the start of your piece. Yet, with the dedication you had and still have to your body and the support of a number of medical and complementary to medicine practitioners the life you lead now is extra-ordinary and I suspect one you did not ever think you would have.

  16. Esoteric Connective Tissue Therapy really shows us the power in flow and quality of movement. We are naturally fluid, that is, until we stiffen and become hard with the stress and tensions we hold from life. It is through our own grace that the body can begin to release all we have allowed it to absorb.

  17. Wow Roberta, you are a living study of how one can heal through listening to the body, and an incredible testament to Connective Tissue Therapy.

  18. “The x-ray suggested a possible hairline fracture of the coccyx, but little did I know at the time that this was to be the commencement of years of pain, incidents and surgeries as I continued in the momentum of pushing myself to cross the things off the ‘to-do’ list and getting the job done.” We can damage ourselves to the very bone by the way we push and drive – at our body’s own expense. From experience I know how Esoteric Connective Tissue Therapy is very supportive even to this dense and deep level of the physical body, and along with the tenderness that is re-established or deepened, it also supports me to hold dear those tender and loving ways with myself where disregard would once have been.

  19. Pain is introduced into the body… it is not who we are. Pain is a build up of movements where we have disregarded the body. Listening, paying attention, focusing on areas of the body that need more love and tender care, we change our movements and with consistency of the expressing of love towards ourselves the pain disappears! We become detached from the pain and make love a priority.

  20. This is a beautiful testimonial of the miraculous healing ability of our body. It is very empowering to be able to heal as this power is within us.

  21. Thank you Roberta for an inspiring story, when we come to learn that we are not our pain, this goes a long way in reducing the amount of pain we are experiencing, Esoteric Connective Tissue is such a gentle and powerful modality that can bring much healing to our bodies.

  22. Pain can indeed be debilitating and I know what it feeels like to believe that I am ‘the pain’ as I had an experience of this recently. I’m fascinated by the fact that we can actually nominate that the pain is our experience but it is not us. Just knowing this reduces anxiety I’ve had about experiencing pain.

  23. Sometimes we think our situations are unchangeable especially when it comes to some physical body symptoms, your story just proves hands down that this is not true and that with time, dedication and the correct healing modalities anything is possible.

  24. We make it normal to live in separation to ourselves, a pain greater than anything of this world we accept as normal.

  25. It is amazing how much pain we can live with if we have to but also that there can be cases where we can fully recover!

  26. Miraculous story Roberta.. it’s only really when things start to happen to our own body that we see the levels of deteriorating disregard we’ve put it/ourselves in, in prior years.. and just how precious and delicate our body truly is…From your post we can see how true awareness and loving hold over blame arises phenomenal change and how truly and precisely our body communicates ‘us in life’.

  27. Wow Roberta how amazing it is to learn that our pain is not who we are and that by listening to our bodies we can feel, explore and appreciate our bodies and allow the support needed around us to aid our healing. Deeply inspiring thank you.

  28. Hi Roberta, I absolutely love the way you write as you take the reader with you all the way! I too have suffered from pain and can relate to what you are saying. Esoteric Connective Tissue Therapy was the therapy that allowed me to be able to walk pain free again. The body is an amazing barometer of how we are travelling in ourselves. If I am ‘out’ of myself I am in pain.

  29. What a beautiful testimonial to the healing Connective Tissue offers to our bodies – I love reading your story – thank you.

  30. What an extraordinary testimonial to Esoteric Connective Tissue Therapy, especially as many times people get to the point of giving up when they cannot get any relief from their pain. What was also refreshing to read is, who out there ever tells a person the pain they are in is not them as quite often we identify with the pain and believe it is part of us.

  31. Testimonials for Esoteric Connective Tissue Therapy such as this one are step by step changing the medical response to chronic painful conditions. There may still be sceptics, but as more case studies are documented with similar, seemingly miraculous healing stories, the sceptics will eventually listen too.

  32. “The physical pain was not who I was. It was my experience, but it did not define me.” This is such an important aspect of the healing process. Esoteric Connective Tissue Therapy is an amazingly powerful and tender modality.

  33. Universal Medicine has a wide range of varying effective healing modalities providing the amazing service of supporting all the ailments and dis-eases of the mind and body. I have experienced my own miraculous revelations and healed much with more to come. The awareness continues to reveal how extensively I have not listened to my body – just how intrinsically I need to love, care & nurture myself.
    The way I live is my greatest medicine. It is ‘The Livingness’ and it is my greatest truth to walk. What unfolds through life and what I feel in my body through the effects of esoteric modalities offers me a never-ending opportunity to embody this new found fond love I’m returning back to.
    It is my greatest point of appreciation how much the Universal Medicine Healing Modalities have transformed my life.

  34. I would love to read an update from Roberta and how she is getting on in 2017. I keep meeting people who have severe back pain and no relief in site and I keep thinking how amazing it would be for them to experience Esoteric Connective Tissue therapy.

    1. Yes me too Stephen. Long-term case studies help to build trust in those who may be sceptical.

  35. The miracle that is Esoteric Connective Tissue Therapy, it is such an understated, humble modality, and yet it has the potential to change lives. How many people live in pain that owns them, and yet the wisdom is there, ‘we are not the pain’ it is only ever a reflection of our life choices, and in many cases esoteric connective tissue therapy is making a huge difference in making that pain less notable, even removing it entirely.

  36. I have met Roberta and would never have guessed she had so much pain in the past. Esoteric Connective Tissue Therapy is the most amazing modality. It can seem like little is happening on the outside but on the inside a little army of connective tissue cells that spread throughout the body, are re-organising and re-harmonising you.

    1. Very inspiring account of the true healing possible when we are open to receiving it. Esoteric Connective Tissue Therapy is so nourishing for the body. It is gentle yet remarkably powerful in its corrective flow through the body.

  37. Yes, there was much for me to learn about listening to my body. I love this line, because I too completely ignored my body for years in the drive and push to do more…..The changes I have made to my lifestyle and the consistent loving choices I have made over the last few years, means I can now feel my body and I can hear its messages clearly and what a game changer this is – to honour one’s God given body and to do this for yourself.

  38. This a big story for anyone who lives with constant pain or is still suffering from a long term injury. Both of these are extremely depilating conditions for the body and people and to see someone recover like this, to this extent gives anyone a chance to make a different choice. So often people with these conditions are moved around many varying forms of treatment to get something to work or give relief and here we have a treatment that not only brings relief from pain but brings you a true healing.

  39. Your story Roberta is a beautiful support and inspiration for anyone who lives with pain and feels there is no way out. Like you once did many people can feel identified with the pain and feel the pain owns them. What an important step your light bulb moment was as it allowed your body to begin to heal, and to experience a miraculous turnaround with the support of the very powerful Esoteric Connective Tissue Therapy.

  40. I’ve recently taken up a job in caring and learning about all the conditions in which people find that they need support for. It’s becoming a huge eye-opener as to how crucial it is to listen to the body and it’s messages and not to dismiss them. At the same time it really is a miracle what the Esoteric Modalities can support conventional medicine with.

  41. Really getting that when we get a condition it is never us, but it is something that happens to us makes the whiole difference in the world. The moment you identify yourself with the condition, you accept it as part of you making very difficult to heal it.

  42. An incredibly inspiring testimony of the how the modalities of Universal Medicine, alongside conventional medicine, support our body and being to truly heal. The illness, dis-ease or pain that is presenting in our bodies does not define us but rather are the end result of our unloving choices, indicating to us that we are not living who we are, in connection our essence within in. As underneath the layers of disregard we have accumulated, the steady pulse of our essence remains true, calling for us to adjust the unloving way we have been living and instead return to being guided by our love within, that which truly defines and confirms who we are.

  43. Our consistency is such a key aspect in our healing. I know from my own body how applying anything that is gentle with consistency will bring about changes, and that the key is in the not giving up. Our capacity to heal is much greater than medical science has yet discovered.

  44. Thanks you Roberta – Connective Tissue Therapy is an experience of what being truly loving with the body is. The movements redefine everything we have grown up understanding ‘keeping the body fluid and free in its movement’ is all about. Yes, it is a miracle but it is also a lesson in a way of living and being that is natural to us and that we have forgotten. The connection to the body’s wisdom is to be listened to and with that whole health truly unfolds.

  45. I find stories like this really uplifting, I know that my pain is always a message of some kind. I used to get really bad headaches, nearly every day. I went and got scans and tests and nobody could explain why they were occurring but after consistent sessions from Universal Medicine Practitioners, my headaches are very rare. The headaches were asking me to live in a way that supported me, to not let frustration rule my life. Now if that is not proof that our body is trying to communicate with us, I don’t know what is.

  46. A beautiful sharing reminding me that there are never any excuses for not listening to the body. The body has a remarkable way of letting us know how we have been living and the impact our choices make on our wellbeing.

    1. Yes Caroline, that is for sure. I am discovering time and time again that the more I listen to my body the more understanding and awareness I have, of impact the choices I make have on my body. As such I feel guided to then make changes accordingly that are far more honoring and loving for my body and being.

  47. Absolutely extraordinary Roberta, and thank-you so much for sharing. I am blown away by two factors here. The first being how Esoteric Connective Tissue Therapy supported you so immensely, where it seemed that nothing else could… There is clearly so much that this profound modality has to offer, and globally.
    And second, that despite what you were going through, you yet did not give up on yourself. Without doubt, you would have had hard times, and yet with the honouring of yourself developing along with the treatment, you did not let yourself be defeated.
    This is a very potent message for us all. And knowing you today, who would know that you were so disabled for the time that you were. Wow…

  48. No identifying ourselves with the pain is absolutely key. Otherwise, it owns you. There is nothing of you that escapes the pain. It is a willfully exercise of reducing ourselves that is as painful as the pain itself. When you go there, the body becomes the enemy, the obstacle, the rival to win over. The soup has all the ingredients for you to remain trapped in a dead end road for a long time.

  49. There is much for us all to learn from listening to the wisdom of our body, particularly when you consider it in reference to our escalating rates of disease and illness and how it is that it is our lifestyle choices and the quality of how we live are feeding these stats.

  50. Great sharing Roberta, Esoteric Connective Tissue Therapy is an amazing treatment which allows us to connect more deeply with our own body, and offers us a stillness that is deeply felt while the body surrenders and begins to realign itself.

  51. Wow Roberta what a story. Connective Tissue therapy is a heaven-sent modality that restores the divine flow to the body.

  52. Listening to my body is true medicine. I can feel when I push it to get things done during the day and the impact this has the following day where I feel sluggish and tired. Yesterday I could not understand why I felt weak and didn’t feel like doing anything but I pushed my way through at a gentle pace to find I was sick in the evening. My body had been communicating with me all through the day. Learning to listen to my body is work in progress and as I learn to trust its communication I am realising that it is a marker to listen to and follow as a guide to true wellbeing.

  53. I come back to this amazing article tonight and truly marvel at what the human body is capable of when it is lived and deeply cared for. This along with the support of Esoteric Connective Tissue Therapy is the recipe of miracles.

  54. Wow, this is a modern day miracle and no mistake, what you have shared is amazing – so many people have suffered with chronic pain for such a long time that the idea of being without pain is a dream and yet, through the simplicity that is Esoteric Connective Tissue Therapy, it can be possible.

  55. This is a fantastic testimonial to Esoteric Connective Tissue Therapy. I have been experiencing severe pain in my left arm/shoulder, and although there’s much I can do to support myself in day-to-day life, I would definitely like to have support such as you have described here to understand and heal what my body is going through right now.

  56. Having the support of such a practitioner as Kate Greenaway and the amazing modality of Connective Tissue Therapy is awesome for it can inspire and support our commitment to ourselves and the healing process. At the end of the day though it is our saying yes to this and our consistent yes that makes the’ miracles’ possible. Your healing is a testament to your consistency and refusal to give up and to allow for what is possible when we are willing to reconnect to ourselves at a much deeper level and develop a loving relationship with our bodies.

  57. What a miracle when we get out of the way and choose to connect. Anything and everything is possible.Thank you for sharing. I love having the sessions and giving the sessions, the more open we are the deeper we go, and the deeper the healing.

  58. When we choose to accept the fact that we are not the pain although it is experienced in the body I can see how this truth can change dramatically in how we approach pain and how this approach can have an impact on the body. It is a question as to whether we want to be identified with pain or not.

  59. I can easily relate to your amazing story Roberta having lived with debilitating sciatica for 40 years. It was only on beginning Esoteric Connective Tissue Therapy with Kate Greenaway and then using the exercises every day at home, and also at work, that this long term pain that I had simply learned to live with, began to subside, until eventually it almost disappeared. I know without a doubt that this amazing therapy, plus my commitment to the exercises and deepening the care for myself, was the recipe for the healing of the sciatica, a condition that I had accepted I would live with for the rest of my life.

  60. After reading this article I realise that the hardest thing to commit to is ourselves. I have been to Kate Greenaway for pain in my right arm, much less severe than anything you suffered from but nevertheless it is a dull constant pain from RSI. She gave me some great excises and I have not yet consistently used them. Whats interesting is we resist what will free us from the prison we create, its very inspiring to hear you have freed yourself through the support of an amazing Practitioner.

    1. I agree Sarah, it is interesting the lengths we will go to, to avoid a simpler, pain-free, joyful life. Thankfully I have not experienced pain in the same way as Roberta has but I can feel the resistance in my day to not go deeper to being more loving and nurturing with myself even though I know and have received the benefits of bringing self-love into my life.

  61. Thank you Roberta for an amazing story, I just love Esoteric Connective Tissue Therapy, it is so gentle but so powerful in the healing it provides. It is beautiful to see and understand you are not your pain, this is what is happening to you but it is not you.

  62. Although I do not suffer from any physical pain or ailments I was offered several free sessions of Esoteric Connective Tissue Therapy by a learning practitioner and I absolutely loved it. I found it to be exquisitely gentle and tender and yet hugely powerful so I have no doubt whatsoever of just how amazingly healing it was for you Roberta after all those years of suffering with constant chronic pain. You are living proof that miracles do exist.

  63. These sessions are awesome and a whole new way to look at healing – factoring in the responsibility of the patient and how we have an opportunity to look deeply at why things are happening in our lives as well as the what.

  64. When pain owns us life is a constant reflection of what is happening to us. It is almost impossible to look past it. Our whole body starts functioning in a way that allows us (hopefully) to avoid feeling worse than what we already do. Reduction is the way we go. We reduce ourselves and our life to such an extent that we become totally identified by and with the pain (‘the pain is me’). The absolute knowing that the pain is not you is the key for the esoteric modalities to go with whatever is in the body to help it to shift gears.

    1. Yes Eduardo and I could feel how the reduction of that way of thinking and living brings so much tension into the body in anticipation of the pain that will come from anything we do – a vicious and painful cycle.

  65. Roberta an astonishing and life-affirming account of the power of the Universal Medicine therapies, I agree your story is nothing short of a miracle, imagine if we studied these kinds of stories in school – our education would be amazing.

  66. I have heard many such stories of Esoteric Connective Tissue Therapy healing apparently intractable pain. This is a modality that is so desperately needed by so many people but not many people know it exists. What a wonderful gift is waiting for humanity when they wake up and find it!

  67. Esoteric Connective Tissue Therapy is a truly miraculous therapy. It feels amazing how such subtle gentle movements can affect the whole body and begin to alleviate pain.

  68. I can fully vouch for the Miracle that is Esoteric Connective Tissue Therapy having suffered joint pain myself that made life very difficult. I recommend it to everyone in or out of pain. It is one of the most beautiful modalities that Serge Benhayon has brought to us through Universal Medicine. . . the world needs to know about it.

  69. An extraordinary story and testimonial Roberta, thank you so much. Being supported by a therapy and a practitioner that hold the assurance that we are not the pain or illness, is the crucial understanding and support for miracles to occur, for then we find space to explore who we truly are.

  70. Roberta, this is really incredible and highlights the immensity of Esoteric Connective Tissue Therapy. But the therapies are only part of of it. The choices you have made along the way too must have played a very important part. The choice to commit to you and the choice to come to know that you are not the pain you were experiencing. How wonderful now that you are bringing that commitment to others in the work you are doing. You would bring such a deep understanding to others who also share that same experience.

  71. Lately I have done some online sessions in Esoteric Connective Tissue exercises with the amazing Kate Greenaway and I must say they are very easy to apply, and asks to be fully present with this rhythmical fluid movement of parts of the body. I love the stillness they bring and how I feel much more spacious and open after doing the exercises. Your blog is a testimonial for this beautiful, simple and light modality, and it is indeed a miracle.

  72. Roberta, a miracle indeed, a miracle in reconnecting to the body. Esoteric Connective Tissue Therapy is a wonderful gift to humanity through Universal Medicine.

  73. This is amazing thank you Roberta for sharing. Chronic pain can have such a huge hold on people their lives and seem quite hopeless. Your testimony shows there is a way to heal chronic pain by taking a step back and lovingly support our body – extraordinary.

  74. Thank you Roberta for sharing all the realisations you came to here and the changes you have made. There are many people living with chronic pain and this blog is something that truly offers a way forward.

  75. What an awesome testimonial, not only for Esoteric Connective Tissue Therapy but also for connective tissue exercise which maintained the awareness and sensitivity in between clinic sessions to allow your body the space to continue it’s miraculous healing. The healing seemed so simple and natural, a shift in awareness and understanding of our bodies natural capacity to heal, and to let go of the fear and identity with the pain. Yet is obvious that the quality of support you were offered by Universal Medicine trained practitioners was of paramount importance as well.

  76. Amazing Roberta, what we are actually capable of when we truly listen to what our bodies are signalling, and then honouring that message. What may have felt like a lifetime sentence of pain and disability has now been rendered naught, and even greater is the deep healing that has come with that resolution – the greater awareness, wisdom and connection to our innate joy that is on offer to us in every moment.

  77. If we have health professionals that are numbing themselves with marathons, extreme sports challenges etc, then the concept of the body being a finely tuned delicate instrument, capable of innate wisdom and high sensitivity is not something that can be readily understood, but if medicine is open to this possibility we could transform health care and bring about true change, reversing the burgeoning ill-health that is crippling people’s lives, and our governments.

  78. This needs to be embraced by medicine and physiotherapy, living in true consideration of our body and honouring what it is asking of us. Too much crazy stuff is being fed to us about being tough, soldiering on (With drugs), looking after everyone else at our own expense: and it is our responsibility too of buying into these ideals. This is not a judgement but a truly empowering understanding that there is a deep level of healing possible if we are to step into taking full responsibility and learning to look after the body and honouring what it needs to heal.. and understanding the ill-patterns of behaviour, emotions etc that brought us to that point of ill-health. then we can make profound changes to our true well-being.

  79. wow – it is amazing what the body is capable of – the pain it can offer and then take away as a way to get us to simply stop and listen. Connective tissue therapy is so powerful – but it takes us surrendering and being open to listening to our bodies. It seems like this was the case here – and what an amazing transformation from someone who started adjusting their lifestyle and accepting the pain, to someone who said ‘ I am not the pain’ and started to allow that to simply fall away.

  80. This is such an awesome account of the possibility of healing that we all have within us. It is the identification with our issues, our aches, and our pains that keep us from moving on from the crisis we are feeling and embracing the healing that is there for us. This does not always mean that the condition we are struggling with goes away completely, but our acceptance of who we truly are outside of the drama of the illness is given the space to breathe.

  81. I cannot imagine a life of consistent and debilitating pain. The remarkable power of the esoteric modalities combined with a true commitment to heal is undeniable. I love what you shared about you not being the pain but rather just something your body feels but cannot define you by. We are so much more and it is gorgeous to read someone claiming that and experiencing an incredible healing with this as the foundation of their commitment to heal themselves, which you have clearly shown is truly possible.

  82. I know I have read this blog before but each time when I read it I see how fascinating our body is but also the power that we know when we connect to its true purpose. And something very important to acknowledge is that pain is not defining us, like you say ‘It was my experience, but it did not define me.’ You are a true miracle Roberta!

  83. This is a miracle – Roberta, thank you for sharing your experience. To be able to participate in the simple everyday things after such life changing incidents, doctor’s reports, surgical procedures and pain is amazing. Connective tissue therapy is a beautiful, holding and gentle therapy, so gentle that you can almost question whether anything is being done. This sharing is so important for other to read and offers so much in broadening our choices for whole health. Thank you.

  84. I love this blog Roberta, it shows me the power of the Esoteric Modalities on offer and what these seemly simple treatments do bring to mankind. When we are looking for true healing and not only for a quick fix then the Esoteric Therapies can help us to connect to ourselves to a deeper level where we become aware of our own responsibility in our life. To me this is one of the most precious gifts I have received through the many Esoteric Healing sessions I have had over the years.

  85. What an amazing case study! Pain is one thing that we can easily become the victim of and give our power away for others to help us rather then to consider what is our role in the healing process.
    To see ourselves as not the pain is huge – and I can see how massively this supported you to start to heal. What an amazing story and insight into the power of connective tissue.

  86. The miracle that is Esoteric Connective Tissue Therapy is a game changer for many people living in constant pain. Time for it to be brought out to the world, for the world certainly needs it.

  87. Esoteric Connective Tissue Therapy is truly amazing as is your story of living with constant severe pain and now painfree. There is an important detail here and that this; ‘She reminded me that I was not the pain. The physical pain was not who I was. It was my experience, but it did not define me.’ The moment you are defined by pain you cannot live without this as this is who you are and you will hang on to your pain. You did not choose this and you were able with support of sessions and exercises to turn your life around, this is very inspiring to read.

  88. Wow Roberta, this is amazing ‘an everyday miracle’ indeed. Connective Tissue Therapy is incredible, I have experience this a few times myself. It is so gentle and allows me to deeply connect to my body. I am now very interested to find out about the exercise after reading your body. Your story is deeply inspiring and it will help people who are suffering from severe pain to know that there is support available. Connective Tissue Therapy hugely supports us to heal and strengthen our connection to our body.

  89. This is a miraculous story Roberta! The reflection to the world is that however much pain we are in, even chronic, 30year-long pain, it is a choice we are making and very powerful message from our body that the way we are living isn’t working. To have access to Connective Tissue Therapy is a god-send. We need many more practitioners who can work across the globe offering this incredible support for our healing.

  90. Roberta you ended the blog which such beautiful and true words about connecting with the power of healing within us. Many clients of Esoteric Connective Tissue Therapy who have presented to me with chronic pain have reported the same thing, that they have connected to much more of themselves than the pain, and begun to bring healing into a new perspective and really come away from session with a great understanding and outlook towards their bodies and to the future.

  91. I’ve found Esoteric Connective Tissue Therapy super supportive as well, both for myself and as a modality that I offer to clients. It is incredibly gentle but none-the-less effective and powerful.

  92. Esoteric Connective Tissue Therapy is an absolutely amazing modality and coupled with taking responsibility for how we are with our bodies miracles are truly possible. I suffered many years of back pain showing me the deep disregard I held my body in and it was only once I was willing to listen to my body’s messages that my life improved and I stopped feeling like a victim of circumstances. Having my first ECTT session was a lightbulb moment as I could feel the interconnectedness of my body and it awakened a deeper level of self-care and joy in my life.

  93. Roberta, what an absolutely inspirational account of your struggles with a pain ridden body to where you are today. I too have had a lot of pain issues in my life which I tried for many years to heal, but from the moment I had my first Esoteric Connective Tissue Therapy session with the amazing Kate Greenaway I could feel that I had finally found what my body had been calling out for. These sessions offer the opportunity to truly feel and to connect to our body on so many levels, and what happens in the session and even afterwards continues to amaze me.

  94. Yes, this inspiring account would be great for conventional medical practitioners, doctors and their patient’s to read. So many live with chronic debilitating pain and just take strong pain killers, this would be an amazing read for them.

  95. I agree Gabriele, I too really enjoy my Esoteric Connective Tissue Therapy sessions, they help me to deeply surrender and let go, and my body feels very light and expanded.

  96. Thank you for sharing your remarkable turn around with chronic debilitating pain and Esoteric Connective Tissue Therapy, a miraculous turn around. This is a truly remarkable story and healing.

  97. This blog states the story of someone who has gone from being offered a disability status to being pain free and physically well. That is a remarkable change and worth taking note of. Just recently I drove into a multi storey car park in my town and the whole of the ground floor was given over to disability spaces. This tells me that we are in a bit of a crisis. Yes there will likely always be a number of people who are disabled, but the sheer number of people now has to be recognised as not being normal, as being an indicator that something is wrong in the way we approach health and wellbeing and what that actually means. it is definitely not just the absence of illness or disease, it is much more about abundant health, energy and vitality and the fact that this is our normal and it is attainable for everyone. Esoteric Connective tissue therapy works, that much is clear and like many of the esoteric modalities what I love about it most is that it is not a quick fix but much more a lifestyle choice we can make.

  98. Roberta this is a real life miracle. I know that many who have severe and persistent pain in their bodies would find it hard to believe the pain can lift, or they are resigned to the fact that ‘this is how it’s going to be from now on’. But you’ve shown Connective Tissue Therapy to be the truly healing modality it is. Thank you for sharing your miracle.

  99. This would have to be a remarkable modality that, I’m sure has the potential to work as an adjunct to conventional medicine in chronic pain sufferers.

  100. What this Esoteric Modality offers humanity is amazingly powerful and can bring true healing to the body. Roberta your experience of Connective Tissue Therapy is beautiful to read, you are a living miracle and support others to take responsibility and make choices that can begin to address any pain or ill condition that stops us from living the fullness of who we are.

  101. What a super inspiring blog regarding life before and after being involved with Universal Medicine and its practitioners! Their wisdom is a fountain of support to many hundreds of people who have changed their lives around and found that within themselves is an enormous power to heal – in every sense of the word.

  102. So true that the body reflects entirely how we have treated it – either in respect or disregard. Sadly, many of us have to go down the route of irresponsibility and thus receive a reflection of that in our bodies, before we realise the true implications of this for the choices we make in our daily lives.

  103. This just goes to show the power of Connect Tissue Therapy healing modality, the miracles people have been experiencing are amazing. It is about us taking responsibility of our choices and willing to be open to making that support or healing path.

  104. Thank you Roberta for sharing the miracle of true healing, what a journey you have had and the amazing results of Connective Tissue therapy , a very powerful modality, one that I have felt its healing qualities in my own body.

  105. Yours is a wonderful story Roberta, one might call a miracle, yes, but the esoteric connective tissue therapy, while allowing and providing the opportunity for the body to receive healing and begin it’s own healing, works in conjunction with the human being _ Roberta – looking at how you got there in the first place and addressing that too. One might feel relief after a session of ECCT, but if one were to go back to making the same choices as before, the body stands no chance to really begin to heal. Well done to you, Roberta.

  106. Beautifully said Jo, our bodies definitely love and appreciate ‘ease over dis-ease’ but unfortunately some of the lifestyle choices we make in our daily lives does not always support this level of simplicity and ease that our body thrives on.

    1. So true Suse- our lifestyle choices do not always support what our body is calling for, and many people live disconnected to their body. Roberta has clearly shown that by listening to the body and moving gently, in a supportive way, true healing can occur. Our body’s foundation comes from divine love.

  107. How incredible to have no pain during the 3 day expo whilst you were working and providing esoteric modality sessions… This is very loudly suggesting something, that when the purpose is with gentleness and love and there is a commitment to being connected with this, our body must absolutely resonate with it. Our body responds in ‘ease’ instead of ‘dis-ease’

    1. It would be wonderful Luke if this was what we saw on the news – everyone should have access to miracles like this.

  108. Wow Roberta, what an amazing story from being debilitated with pain, to now, pain free with support of the Esoteric Connective Tissue Therapy. Living proof or maybe you are the living walking research data for Esoteric Connective Tissue Therapy!

    1. This is an amazing story Roberta, and shows the power of Esoteric Connective Tissue Therapy.

  109. What an incredible story Roberta, so glad you shared what miracles can happen with this modality, and how if we look deeper behind our pain we can find answers to heal.

  110. Wow Roberta you are a living miracle – how inspiring you are to others who live with chronic pain and feel their only choice is to live with this pain. Your turnaround in your health has been possible with Connective Tissue Therapy – such an amazing and powerful modality that has truly supported you to heal.

  111. Well said Cindy – Roberta’s story is a wonderful reminder of our innate ability to heal when given the right conditions.

  112. Holy cow Roberta – what an extraordinary story! As a fellow student and having had the pleasure of getting to know you for a little while doing some group work together, a few years back, I didn’t have the slightest clue that you were in pain. This clearly shows me how desensitised we humans have become.
    Serge’s words come to mind ‘We only think we think’ and I feel to add ‘We only think we can see’.
    Thank you for opening my eyes to another level of understanding that I can openly share with others.

  113. A remarkable story Roberta, from experiencing all that pain in your body to how well you are today, following the connective tissue therapy is nothing short of a miracle.

  114. An incredible and inspirational story Roberta, but I am not surprised at all as I have experienced the power of connective tissue myself.

  115. What an incredible testament to you and the Esoteric Modalities Roberta. “The physical pain was not who I was. It was my experience, but it did not define me.” Today as I find myself in pain this sentence allows me to feel my own strength and also the blessing my body is presenting as it is unable to allow me to stray from the truth and to continually asks me to live harmoniously inside and out.

  116. Roberta, this is amazing. I know many people who live with pain and also a mix of despair and resignation. This is just amazing to share. I can imagine that being able to separate your identity from the pain is very important. When we are ill in a constant way it is easy to become consumed by it. How lovely to be still you in amongst it all and now to have your small miracle.

  117. Thank you Roberta, beautiful sharing of the power to surrender and being open and willing to reconnect to our bodies. Indeed Esoteric Connective Tissue Therapy is a modality from heaven.

  118. Thank you Roberta for sharing the miracle of healing your body with the support of Esoteric Connective Tissue Therapy with a Universal Medicine practitioner. Accepting that we are not our hurts is a big step in looking at the choices we make in the way we live that are the underlying cause of our problems. The answer to those nagging questions of why? and why me?

  119. Roberta – what you have shared is truly remarkable and inspirational. Our body loves and cares for us. Knowing what you have been through and the depth to which you have been required to go has been life changing. Truly a miracle and a gift to all others that feel trapped by what is happening in their lives. Thank you deeply.

  120. Roberta, thank you for giving updates on your health. This really gives us a sense of the sustainability of the Connective Tissue modality along with all the other Esoteric modalities curently on offer. What an amazing story of rehabilitation through self loving choices.

  121. Thank you Hannah Flanagan for your comment, and I Roberta Himing, can say that the reminder to actually be more aware and to continually expand on the development of my own inner ears so as I am more able to hear what the body is telling me continues every day, every moment. Of course this is done with no sense of perfection or completion – a work in constant progress. My appreciation for the modalities as presented by Serge Benhayon expressing the Ageless Wisdom has no bounds, and my appreciation to all of the remarkable practitioners who have shared the loving wealth of their own wisdom and connectedness to the Divine within has no end.

  122. Well said Sarah, yes it it for all of us to take responsibility first and then the healing opportunities are there for us to choose. I know a guy at work who suffers with horrendous pain every day, he is crippled by his back pain, hobbles around the office, draws in all this sympathy from staff, yet will not take one ounce of responsibility to do something about it. As much as I put forward suggestions of what could support him – all he can feel is the pain and on some level that is all he identifies with. The sad things is, is does not have to suffer in this way. Its like some people are just blinded by the miracles on offer.

  123. Roberta 30 years is such along time to be in pain – I could not imagine how that would transform a person. Thank God for the amazing modality of Connective Tissue Therapy and Serge Benhayon who brought this through for us all.

  124. What an amazing transformation Roberta…from 30 years of pain to pain free in the space of one year – this is extraordinary and something that needs to be front paged in all medical publications…very inspiring!

  125. Roberta thank you for sharing this miracle, such an inspiring story. The Esoteric Modalities are Heaven sent and truly amazing.

  126. It is incredible how the body has the capacity to heal when we treat it with self care and self love. Thank you Roberta for sharing your inspiring story

  127. An amazing story Roberta, and one that confirms the level of healing that is possible in the body “…when one gets themselves out of the way to re-connect with that deep and quiet place within.”

  128. What an amazing sharing Roberta.
    I too had a miracle in my life with Connective tissue therapy and Kate Greenaway’s treatments and support. I had chronic pain from abdominal adhesions, which could come on so suddenly I once dropped to the ground on the street. Not knowing when this might happen left me feeling quite vulnerable and unsteady much of the time. After my first connective tissue session there was no pain, at all for at least 3 weeks and I realised there was a way to live that could support my body to make this the new norm, which after several sessions, and implementing changes between sessions, I did, to the extent I am largely entirely pain free today, with never the severity that was once there, and if the pain ever returns even very mildly, or very briefly, it is a huge cue to tune into the body and how I’ve been with it. Without connective tissue therapy I’m sure I’d still be lost and unproductive – a burden on the health care system. The ramifications of this and what is on offer for our societies is significant.

  129. An extraordinary sharing and so deeply confirming of the beauty and healing power of the Universal Medicine modalities when you are ready to face your choices. Amazing.

  130. This is a truly amazing sharing Roberta. Thank you deeply for this. Four years ago I was feeling the effects on my knees from 30 years of abuse playing high impact sports. I avoided bending over because of the pain in my lower back and knees. Over time, as I have learned to be more tender and aware of the way I move, aware that there is a lightness of movement that is more naturally in tune with the body. With the support of chakrapuncture, I would actually have to say that my knees have almost regenerated of rt. past couple of years, if such a thing is possible. Today the pain has gone, and I no longer wince to bend over, even though I still perform physical work as a builder.

  131. Roberta, yes a miracle indeed, your story is super inspiring and shows what is possible when we truly listen, and not just pay lip service to our bodies and get the support that is needed. I love Esoteric Connective Tissue therapy, it’s subtle and yet so powerful, and it’s great to hear how people have literally changed their life because of it.

  132. Thank you Roberta for sharing your experience with chronic pain and connective tissue therapy. It makes me value the esoteric modalities that Universal Medicine offers even more, modalities that are very needed as there are many like you struggling with daily pain and misery. We have a task here in bringing out the universal medicine modalities to every one who is ready.

  133. Thank you Roberta for sharing your experience with chronic pain, this is a great insight how many people live on a day to day basis. And how encouraging and inspiring to know that we can actually heal a lot in our bodies if we listen to and start living with our body. I have had many Connective Tissue Therapy treatments and love giving them to people, they are very powerful and allow me to surrender to my body most deeply. After a Connective Tissue Therapy session I always find how calm and content I can be with me, and my whole body feels to have been realigned to its natural state.

  134. You are amazing Roberta – well done to you to finally step out of this pain, ailment or condition owns me. So many of us do exactly as you have said here, define ourselves by the pain, we become victims of.. or survivors of, instead of understanding and accepting the healing on offer that comes with pain, illness and disease.

    1. I second that Terri-Anne – Roberta is amazing and has touched so many and will continue to do so by sharing her story.

  135. This is an extraordinary account Roberta and a testament to just how power-full the Esoteric Healing modalities are; because as well as the physical aspect of the modality providing the physical effect on the body it also gives us the understanding of what the underlying cause is thereby empowering us to review and change our way of living.

  136. This is very beautiful to read Roberta, how amazing for you to be pain free after so many years of agony, how you must be celebrating yourself and the Connective Tissue Modality
    A wonderful testimony to the work of Universal medicine.

  137. Roberta, pain can be an all consuming thing to the extent that you found , it takes over your life. I have been through a fair amount of pain in the last ten years or so but since connection to Universal Medicine and Kate Greenaway, and the Connective Tissue Therapy I am happy to report that when I have any pain, with the gentle exercises Kate recommends they are short lived. I have come to realise that I am also responsible for the pain and the need to look within for the answers.

  138. Roberta, yes this is an everyday miracle but one that has implications so far and wide. The impact of chronic pain has massive ramifications to the people of this world either directly or through massive costs to health systems and governments, and of course contributes to the ever growing workload our health practitioners and decision makes face. Here you have presented the simplicity of what you have learned and experienced through this modality. It needs to ne known that healing is possible, as many in the dark are suffering.

    1. Yes healing is possible and it does need to be known. However I do know of some who have so identified with their pain that they do no know who they are without it. Often when true healing is offered it is rejected as a result.

      1. I too know some who indulged in the pain and have identified themselves with it. And as Amelia has said this has cost our medical systems much money. I agree Michelle, it becomes ‘them’ and the only way they now how to live. Their spirit feeds of sympathy, attention and false care that is driven not from a place of love because the carers are choosing to play the ‘victims’ game. Hence the ‘victim’ doesn’t receive true care and love that they so desperately seek but instead receive a panic love pulled energetically from the ‘victim’s’ need.

    2. Spot on Amelia – Roberta’s and many others’ everyday miracle stories need to be heralded so that humanity can see there is another way and that healing is possible.

  139. Beautiful to read Roberta. How incredible that by noticing that the pain was not you and the connective tissue therapy you healed your chronic pain. I can relate to the fact that when we think the pain or an issue is us, it can totally take over our lives. When I realised like you, that I am not the issue, I could feel myself for the first time underneath the issues (a beautiful still woman), and this has helped me to let the issues go too.

    1. How awesome is that Lieke -I Roberta Himing thank you for sharing your comment in relation to having the belief that the ‘pain’ or the ‘issue’ is the outer display of who we think we are in that time of that experience – what a revelation it is when ‘the penny drops’ and suddenly one can feel that this indeed is not the truth – and we know that the pain or the issue is not who we are. Wow! I found that to be a gargantuan moment of realization – how freeing – and in fact when I suddenly ‘knew’ that with the whole of my being, that was when the healing began for me, and thanks to the wise words of a Universal Medicine practitioner Kate Greenaway at that time these words simply reminded me that this was so.

  140. “I was not the pain. The physical pain was not who I was. It was my experience, but it did not define me” – this is a truly powerful reminder. How often do I let the pain/hurt/emotion become me and not give a chance to what I really am? – Often enough. Thank you for sharing your experience, Roberta.

    1. Yes, it was great to be reminded that, ‘I was not the pain. The physical pain was not who I was. It was my experience, but it did not define me.’ The pain is a message from our body, it is then up to us to feel and ponder what our body is wishing to communicate, what is the underlying cause of this pain.This then has to be addressed.

  141. Connective tissue is such a powerful modality the miracles it allows through very simple touch and pulse in the body is amazing. From small alignments of the body to major. The continuous gentle modality is non invasive and extremely supportive and nurturing. My personal experience, is through my own body alignment, no more aches and pains in my knees and legs when I walk. Body feels and looks slender and slim. The slouchy in my back is disappearing and my shoulders and chest area feels more open.

  142. Roberta this is indeed an everyday miracle. I too have found the connective tissue exercises re-connect me to my body, and I do a few each morning, even before I get out of bed.

  143. That’s really wonderful Roberta. Nothing like actually experiencing the changes in our bodies when we commit to listening and getting back in touch with ourselves.

  144. I love to read blogs like this where the pain has been so severe that you would think nothing would work, but here you are after having had Connective Tissue treatments and Chakra-puncture and find yourself with less pain and on the road to recovery. That’s what I call a miracle.

  145. Hi Roberta

    Thank you for sharing your experience with the Connective Tissue treatments. Showing how powerful they are indeed

  146. I was feeling your pain literally as I read through your experience… I too had a ruptured disc in my back about a year ago, advised that I would need surgery to heal and have relief from pain, it was something that I had to learn to live with, not something you want to hear. Instead I opted for the Esoteric modalities, no surgery. 10 months later I returned to the surgeon, he was stunned by the results but never asked me how or what I did to help myself out, so I told him Chakra-puncture and Connective Tissue Therapy are the keys.

  147. This is a true miracle Roberta and it is so great that you share this with the world. Our bodies are remarkable and have a deep wisdom how to heal itself. Connective Tissue Therapy is such a amazing healing modality that supports the body to heal.

  148. Wow Roberta, a miracle indeed! What an amazing turn around with your severe pain, with the help of Esoteric Connective tissue therapy, and reconnecting to your true essence which allowed you to see that you are indeed not the pain.

  149. The Esoteric Connective Tissue Therapy is a truly remarkable modality and the connective tissue a truly remarkable component of our body, as the medical profession is only beginning to recognise and understand.

  150. Hi Natalie, I felt to re-visit this blog I wrote a year ago now and reflect on those few words “I sit here typing this unfolding story with no physical pain evident.” and I so deeply feel the appreciation I have for not only the miracle that I feel this unfolding story presents, but the miracle of having made the re-connection to truth through meeting Serge Benhayon and my attendance at the various presentations and workshops. While recently away and enjoying the rainforest walks in Costa Rica, traversing and managing stony tracks and hundreds of steps carved into hillsides to bring us to crossing swing bridges across deep and gargantuan gullys to the forest floor I couldn’t help but reflect on the fact that it was such a short time ago that I was not even able to walk across a small gutter on the roadside. There is no room for doubt as to the affect that the Universal Medicine modalities of Esoteric Connective Tissue Therapy, Esoteric Chakra Puncture, Esoteric Massage and EsotericHealing had on helping me heal my body – and I continue several times weekly with the Connective Tissue Therapy exercises.

  151. “I sit here typing this unfolding story with no physical pain evident. The Universal Medicine healing modality of Esoteric Connective Tissue Therapy has revealed to me the depth of healing that potentially is possible when one gets themselves out the way to re-connect with that deep and quiet place within.” – So great that considering all the pain you were experiencing in your body, Roberta, you are able to have moments where no physical pain is evident, what an amazing healing modality Esoteric Connective Tissue Therapy is.

  152. Wow- to have been severely debilitated by pain to now only experiencing it 5-10% of the time, due to having treatment with esoteric connective tissue therapy, is truly amazing, and shows the power of this wonderful healing modality. Much appreciation to Serge Benhayon for making it available.

  153. I agree that the Connective Tissue modality has offered an amazing support to go deeper. With such a super gentle technique you would think it is not doing much but it goes so deep it is incredible. Very powerful.

  154. Wow, Roberta. Thank you for sharing your amazing journey and the power of listening to one’s body. The Esoteric Connective Tissue Therapy is a truly wondrous modality in supporting the re-connection to one’s body. I too have found it so healing.

  155. As I re-read your blog, Roberta, I am so inspired. By you, by your willingness to be open to seeing that the pain is/was not you, and by the simple fact that you kept persevering. You have allowed for a miracle to take place by taking responsibility, and you have chosen to share this beautiful event with others. How healing not only for you but for me and everyone who reads your blog and feels the miracle taking place.

  156. Thank you Roberta for your clear and honest story of the way you returned to be with you, in connection with your body. I am too having issues with my physical body because I am not truly connected to it, and as you say, I have to be aware that the issues I experience in my body is not who I am, they are the reflection of me not being fully connected to my body for many years of my life. I now feel the importance of taking the time and care to work on this, and thank you for showing me the power this commitment to the body has, and for showing me the way to do it.

    1. Thank you for your comment nvanhaastrecht – I really appreciate reading the comments.
      I am learning that healing my body from much disregard not only in this life but obviously many others is a moment to moment awareness, coming back to me, my breath, reconnecting with me again – learning to not become overwhelmed or complacent, but more appreciative of me, the gift of life of all of us at this time. I especially feel your words “I now feel the importance of taking the time and care …” yes, I too am still learning to take the time and care to be more tender and appreciative of my body, feeling the connection to that divine aspect that unifies us all.

  157. Your story of healing with Esoteric modalities is inspiring Roberta. I also have found both the chakra puncture and Connective Tissue Therapy so healing. Both allow me to surrender to a deep level of stillness. I love the gentle rhythm of connective tissue, supporting true harmony in my body.

  158. Thank you Roberta for sharing your experience with the Esoteric Connective Tissue Therapy. I absolutely love this therapy, even when I’m not in pain, as it is so supportive at feeling myself more in my body, and not just in my head.

  159. Thank you for your sharing on Esoteric Connective Tissue Therapy Roberta, I too have experienced the truly lovely Therapy with Kate and have found that this works very well on my body .

  160. This is a great sharing Roberta – indeed our bodies work in magical ways when it comes to healing. Esoteric Connective Tissue Therapy is such a beautiful and supportive modality for the body too – thank you for sharing your experience with it!

  161. Trust in yourself and Connective Tissue Therapy healed your body Roberta. Thank you for sharing your amazing experience.

  162. I find with each session of Connective Tissue Therapy I find my body surrendering deeper and deeper. It brings me to a beautiful place of stillness within myself. This is definitely one of the modalities I love.

  163. “She reminded me that I was not the pain. The physical pain was not who I was. It was my experience, but it did not define me.” – This is great to remember when we have pain in our bodies.

  164. Beautiful, it is a great testimony of how connecting to ourselves, gives the body the possibility to heal with the support of the Connective Tissue modality.

  165. There is something truly wonderful that happens in the body with Esoteric Connective Tissue Therapy. As modalities go I can think of none better from my experience, I love the subtle yet powerful experience of the fascia moving. With the amount of pain there is for so many in society it seems vital that this treatment is more widely recognised and brought to the attention of more people.

  166. I love reading how you have had healing with Esoteric modalities. I felt a great truth and it is the foundation of my healing when you said that we may experience pain but it does not define us. It is empowering and releases us from the victim of it.

  167. Every time I experience Connective Tissue Therapy I am blown away. What an amazing modality – a gift for humanity coming straight from heaven!

  168. I too have lived a lot of my life with back pain and Roberta you highlight some great points that are part of the healing process. Knowing that we are not the pain, it does not need to define who we are, and to get ourselves out of the way, have been invaluable towards my healing process. Once I am able to do this the Esoteric modalities are able to work their magic.

  169. ‘She reminded me that I was not the pain. The physical pain was not who I was. It was my experience, but it did not define me’. Wise and healing words indeed and worth highlighting…. The miracle was able to happen because of your own willingness to learn and not give up on yourself thus your body was able to guide, lead you to Esoteric Connective Tissue which your body knew was exactly what it needed…. And you listened of course…. a very powerful reminder of how wise our bodies are and that our health is in our own hands.

  170. That is an awesome miracle Roberta. What an amazing modality to be able to assist in healing that level of pain and have such an effect. You’ve clearly outlined in your blog that because you listened to your body, and started to change the way you were with, it the healing could occur too. The modalities offered by Universal Medicine are truly awe inspiring and we are blessed to have them.

    1. I agree, all the modalities offered by Universal Medicine are truly awe inspiring and we are blessed to have them.

  171. Thoroughly inspiring Roberta, thank you for sharing your amazing story of self healing. The power of Esoteric Healing Modalities in conjunction with conventional medicine is true medicine – Universal Medicine.

    1. Well said Giselle, I’m working with conventional medicine, hand in hand with Esoteric Healing Modalities. They really complement each other perfectly. We are blessed to have amazing doctors and also amazing Esoteric Healing Modality Practitioners, thanks to Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon.

  172. A miracle indeed. By the sounds of where your story was going Roberta, it felt as though it had the very real possibility of having a bad ending. What an inspiration you are to not only those experiencing chronic pain, but to anyone who feels crippled by anything in their life. It seems there is another way.

  173. Have just had a connective tissue session today and discovered that a recent hip injury I thought was all better had in fact just seized up. Through such a gentle technique, i could feel everything release and become loose again – but showing me that in fact there was still a fair bit of healing to go – and that I need to take better care. Now it has the opportunity to heal in a true way if I treat it right, rather than just having the connective tissue go hard and guarded – quite likely setting me up for future issues. This is quite revolutionary.

    1. Thank you for your comment Annie, and my focus seemed to be called to “…a recent hip injury I thought was all better…”which over time I have found to be more than relevant. Yes, “all better” – that is what we may think when the current pain subsides -however, I am still learning that when after some time a level of pain re-introduces itself perhaps in the same area as previously, it may be the result of a deeper level of wisdom and understanding being called for as more of the underlying core issue is to be addressed. This I have found to be a very revealing experience, learning to surrender to what the body is endeavouring to show me, calling me to feel, and to listen with the ears of the whole body, not just to those on either side of my head.

    2. I agree Annie, connective tissue therapy is revolutionary and to support its science clinical trials and studies need to be done on this very supportive and effective modality to illustrate this fact. Chronic pain is crippling for those who suffer it and the responsibility of managing it weighs heavily on the already burdened health care system.

  174. Wow what a life story. As a rehabilitation consultant I have worked with many people with chronic back pain, that cripples their lives. Many try surgery, drugs, different modalities and end up giving up and not able to work or have a normal life, staying at home on heavy pain killers for 10 or 20 or 30 years and more. So this story is absolutely outstanding and another one of thousands of blogs containing the mind blowing evidence of the benefit of esoteric healing modalities.

  175. Roberta, through your honest sharing you present to us all the miracles that can take place when we listen to our bodies, we trust and that you in fact always knew this within. Incredible how your pain decreased!

  176. Connective tissue therapy is truly a wonderful thing, I had a wonderful session today and I feel like a million bucks. Note to self make this a regular thing.

  177. What an amazing sharing Roberta. What feels really important here is that as well as paying attention to your body, it feels that letting go of the identification with the pain and what that meant was paramount to your healing too. I could feel in me that at times I have had an attachment to an illness or an ache, to being sick and identified with that and what comes from being in that… and not only do I have to listen to my body as to what’s really going on, but I have to let go of the identification with it too.

  178. It is amazing how powerful such delicate movements are and how it offers deep healing within the body. I find this treatment amazing and enjoy it so much. I am able to surrender my body to such a deep state of stillness, feeling rejuvenated after my session, with any tension just disappearing.

  179. Roberta this indeed is a miraculous sharing. It just shows us how powerful it is when we listen to our body and I love what Kate shared with you – “The physical pain was not who I was. It was my experience, but it did not define me.”

  180. The body is an awesome thing, Roberta, and you have experienced and shared the miracle it is capable of if we just choose to listen and love. Thank you for writing such a profound blog.

  181. This blog is a brilliant example of the healing power of Esoteric Connective Tissue Therapy. I too have found this esoteric modality to be profound, particularly in supporting my body to release the tension that had built up in my body from approx 30 years of mild – strong anxiety. I now feel more vital and experience relatively little anxiety. If I do, the tension it creates in my body is very uncomfortable now, whereas before having Esoteric Connective Tissue Therapy I was just used to it.

  182. Wow, what you’ve shared here is literally nothing short of a miracle and also incredible to read how the body can actually heal itself when we allow it to and when we listen to it without overriding and ignoring its signs. Thank you Roberta.

  183. Roberta, it really is the Magic of God working through this beautiful modality that you are describing here. The world needs Connective Tissue Therapy now.

    1. The world does need Connective Tissue Therapy now, I am with you on that Anne, for the super amazing modality this is, and the support and healing it offers the body.

  184. A miracle indeed Roberta
    Your courage, self responibility and commitment is inspiring as is the Connective Tissue modality
    The deep healing you have recieved is a testament to you listening to your body whilst working along side the practitioner
    Thank you for your beautiful expression

  185. Esoteric Connective Tissue Therapy is such a profound therapy, I love treating clients with this technique. Everybody loves it, It just give such a deep healing to the body and like somebody the other day shared: I feel so together!

  186. This is a powerful and inspiring story of healing, thank you Roberta. I have been amazed at how the tiny almost imperceptible movements in connective tissue therapy allow such a deep connection with my body and my inner being.

    1. I agree 1timrobinson, the same for me; it is so amazingly gentle, but so amazingly powerful.

  187. Your sharing should be on the frontpage of the newspaper, Roberta, beautiful! It shows how much can change if we take responsibility for our choices and listen to our body. I experienced with my frozen shoulder that was there for a couple of years, it was gone after I did the Connective Therapy course. So I am just like you a walking example of the great support of this modality if you combine it with the above mentioned taking care of yourself and your body and self-loving choices.

  188. As an esoteric Connective tissue therapy practitioner, I am so touched by this Universal Medicine modality where I hear comments during sessions such as “Its amazing to feel in my body more than just the pain”. This is so important, to bring people to the feeling of who they truly are, so they can feel the support and strength within them to clear what needs to be cleared from their bodies. This is the foundation of all the Esoteric Healing modalities presented by Universal Medicine and it is the foundation of true healing.

    1. Thank you Simon for your comment and yes, I still continue to find the continuation of the Esoteric Connective Tissue Therapy exercises beneficial. I appreciate very much this modality and the Practitioners who offer their loving presence to assist in the clearing of that which is not love from the body, all of which I have found to be a gift afforded us through Serge Benhayon and the presentations and workshops of Universal Medicine.

  189. Thank you Roberta for sharing this and showing how powerful it is to reconnect with, and listen to our body. I’ve found Esoteric Connective Tissue therapy an invaluable support as well.

    1. Yes, Fiona55, I have found this to be so along with feeling which esoteric modality is momentarily appropriate for whatever one is endeavouring to clear from the body, and whether that modality be Chakra Puncture, Esoteric Healing or Esoteric Massage – there seems there is a choice of modality that feels just right for whatever is going on in the body at any time- I am presently continuing with Chakra Puncture and Connective Tissue Therapy on a regular basis, and doing the esoteric connective tissue therapy exercises as were taught to us by Kate Greenaway, to assist my lungs to clear from a heavy cold. I have also found it’s up to me to take responsibility to assist the Medical profession to be able to help me – quite empowering really.

  190. It makes all the difference knowing you have pain but that is not what defines you. Just creating that distance to be able to observe the pain is huge. Connective Tissue therapy is amazing and allows you to feel your body working in harmony as it was designed to be.

  191. This is an amazing story Roberta, thank you for sharing; the modalities that we are blessed with are truly remarkable in their absolute support of the body.

  192. “Esoteric Connective Tissue Therapy… The Beginning of a Miracle” … this says it all! Thank you for sharing Roberta

  193. “The Universal Medicine modality of Esoteric Connective Tissue Therapy has revealed to me the depth of healing that potentially is possible when one gets themselves out of the way to re-connect with that deep and quiet place within”. I have also found this to be true for me, it certainly is a miraculous healing modality.

  194. Thanks Roberta for your awesom sharing. I too have felt the miracles of Connective Tissue therapy after a bad fall on the ice rink.. from barely able to move from pain, I had a session where I could feel all the shock and trauma and ‘jammed-up-ness,’ just dissipate freeing up all the joints once again to start renewing. It was a huge support to the healing process.

  195. A beautiful story Roberta, good for you to be open and commit to the modality of esoteric connective tissue massage. I have found this modality to be amazing in that such little actual movement of the hands of the practitioner on my body has such a profound effect on what I feel inside me.

  196. Thank you for sharing the deep healing properties of Connective Tissue, having practiced many complimentary therapies in the past including Shiatsu and Kinesiology I can honestly say nothing goes any where near the depth, quality, integrity and beauty of the Esoteric modalities.

  197. Wow Roberta. What an inspiration you are. So many people suffer from chronic pain and it is invaluable for them to read your story. I too have found Connective Tissue Therapy to be an absolute miracle. It has brought the awareness to my body that it’s natural way is to flow and glide in it’s movement. So beautiful to hear this – “There was a knowing, a deep awareness that a miracle was occurring within my body: I sensed the connective tissue fibres ‘re-growing’… it seemed as though I could feel the muscles somehow re-attaching themselves to my hip bone, like ‘picking up dropped stitches in a piece of knitting.” Yay!

  198. Esoteric Connective Tissue Therapy is so delicious to receive and to offer another. Your story Roberta is a great example of what can unfold in our bodies when we connect and allow our natural flow to just be. Receiving a session of Connective Tissue Therapy connects us back to our essence, but you have made the choice to hold this in your everyday living Roberta and that is something to appreciate and celebrate.

  199. This is a true miracle Roberta. There is nothing else out there like the Esoteric Healing Modalities – they so deeply and profoundly support true healing on many levels.

    1. Thank you Kylie for your comment and I agree with you – “There is nothing else out there like the Esoteric Healing Modalities..” I have found that the Sacred Esoteric Healing and Esoteric Chakra Puncture so supportive also along with the Esoteric Connective Tissue Therapy as this body continually dislodges the result of many years of dis-regard of self loving choices. What a gift we have available to all through Universal Medicine and the presentations of Serge Benhayon to assist us to reach that still place within to enable healing to commence.

  200. As I was reading your incredible account of how pain has ‘owned’ you Roberta, I was thinking ‘wow- this is a miracle – one of those everyday miracles we need to hear more about’…and then I read your last line, ha! I couldn’t agree more. I too have experienced the benefits of Esoteric Connective Tissue Therapy through the hands of the rather wonderful Kate Greenaway and I must say – I don’t know exactly how it does what it does but what is does – is magic. Not ‘out there’, crazy, out-of-this-world, illusionist magic – just simple, everyday magic, the stuff that everyday miracles are spun from. I love that.

  201. All I can say is wow Roberta. Connective Tissue therapy is an amazing modality and your body is showing you the just how fantastic it is. The truth has set your body free.

  202. This really is such great news Roberta, to be away from that constant pain must be such a relief. I love Connective Tissue Therapy and you just made me realise how much the world really needs it.

  203. Thank you Roberta for sharing your story that can truly inspire so many, that are in pain. Esoteric Connective Tissue Therapy is indeed a very powerful healing modality.

  204. Roberta this is an incredible story and I want to hear your progress as you unfold to more and more of your true essence of love. I really love the quote from Kate Greenaway – you are not the pain, though you experience pain, what a game changer.

  205. What an amazing story you have shared here Roberta. It really confirms how incredibly power-full connective tissue therapy actually is, thank you.

  206. Roberta, what a journey! Your story has given me a lot to reflect on as I too know that I have pushed the body at times to get the job done so I can tick whatever off my ‘to-do list’. What stood out for me was your comment ‘… the wonder of the body and how it reflects to us just how we have treated it in this and other lives… have we respected it or been in total dis-regard?’. It is a powerful reminder to me to pay close attention to what my body is telling me if I simply pause, step out of my arrogance and listen. Thank you.

  207. Thank you for sharing your story Roberta, very inspiring. Connective tissue therapy combined with the willingness to listen to our bodies is very powerful, indeed!

  208. Dear Roberta, I am absolutely in awe of your experience. I too have experienced severe back pain. When I had my pain, on examination I had a bulging disc low in my spine, in desperation I seeked out bowen therapy. While this therapy “took the pain away”, for which I was eternally grateful. It in no way encouraged me to address the way I was living, which was the true cause for my body breaking down. I shudder to think of what other dis-eases my body may have presented with if I had not begun to make different choices in how I choose to live my life. Choices inspired by the many presentations of Universal Medicne and all of the Esoteric Healing modalities.

  209. Beautiful Roberta! Thanks for sharing your journey and the impact that Esoteric Connective Tissue has had on your life.

  210. Thank you for sharing your story Roberta. The esoteric healing modalities are indeed powerful, yet it is the connection we have with our bodies and the willingness to listen that holds true power. Each in our own way have had truly amazing experiences simply by listening to and trusting our bodies.

  211. Your story is so inspiring Roberta. It is so easy to become a victim of pain but you have reminded us that we are not the pain, it is just the experience. Connective Tissue Therapy is an amazing offering to humanity who are in a lot of held pain in their bodies. I so appreciate it in my life. I have just completed a five week course with Kate Greenaway, learning the Connective Tissue exercises. They have changed my life and I love that they can be done anywhere, anytime.

  212. Roberta most of the worlds population is walking around not being them. When we are not being us then our bodies feel the violation of this and bones can morph, organs can swell, skin con erupt, the list goes on. But and it is a glorious ‘but’ when we return to the truth of who we are then the body can return to it’s rightful shape and state. Our bodies are reflections of who we are being, isn’t that simply Divine.

  213. An everyday miracle is still a miracle, and with so may people suffering the torment of ongoing pain on a daily basis, it becomes a significant miracle. There are so many remedies, strategies and ways to cope with persistent pain, many of which do not work. Here you have found that the Esoteric Connective Tissue has supported you well in your own healing. Well done for making the choices that really supported you.

  214. It’s so beautiful, that you haven’t given up, Roberta, I’m deeply touched. Thanks to all who contributed. Thanks to our bodies, that are so true to us. Thanks to Universal Medicine.

  215. A beautiful story Roberta on your relationship with your body and pain. It is also an incredible testament to the power of Esoteric Connective Tissue Therapy. The line ‘The Universal Medicine healing modality of Esoteric Connective Tissue Therapy has revealed to me the depth of healing that potentially is possible when one gets themselves out the way to re-connect with that deep and quiet place within.’ says it all. You are a true living miracle and as you say – it’s an everyday thing!

  216. Wow, Roberta, what a complete turn around from where you started to where you are now, through having regular Esoteric Connective Tissue. It is indeed a wonderful modality which I also continue to receive as it feels a real support for my body.

  217. How amazing is the body at healing itself once we get ourselves out of the way. Roberta your story is incredible, being released from so much pain is a miracle. I have had a low grade pain in my back for most of my life and just recently I have been having regular Connective Tissue Therapy, focussing mainly on my arms, and like you, I can feel how the body starts to re-wire itself, and I now have a deeper awareness of my arms in relation to the rest of my body and my pain level has reduced considerably.

  218. Wow Roberta I am speechless with your story, it is an absolute miracle indeed. Yes, there is great profoundness felt with Esoteric Connective Tissue, and in addition the choice to begin to listen to the body and unleash from being owned or identified by the illness/injury/event. You are a super example of having done all of this, what an inspiration.

    1. Thank you Zofia for your comment and yes I agree with your words “in addition the choice to begin to listen to the body and unleash from being owned or identified by the illness/injury/event” – I found that that little pearl of wisdom given me by Kate Greenaway that “I was not the pain” I was like a 500 watt light bulb turning on.

  219. It is wonderful to read of your miracle Roberta. What an amazing modality Connective Tissue Therapy is, and how amazing you are for embracing the healing and detaching from the pain.

  220. Roberta, yes indeed, truly an everyday miracle! I too have found great benefit from Connective Tissue exercises – their simplicity belies the deeply rejuvenating and healing benefits I have experienced.

  221. Amazing Roberta! What a journey you have embarked on. I’m so pleased you found a ‘pain managment’ therapy that does not bury any further your body’s hurts. I too experienced much success from Connective Tissue Therapy when I had a sciatica problem. It’s a pretty wonderful modality!

  222. Roberta, there are millions of people in chronic pain just like you. Now all we need for the practitioners is to be able to go out there and connect with those in pain – in Kate’s experience some 90% of all chronic pain patients show an improvement.

  223. Roberta you are a great advert for Esoteric Connective Tissue therapy and also the fact that no matter what help we get from another, practitioner or not it is ultimately up to us to take true responsibility for our health in listening to our body’s messages and doing what is necessary to support it.

  224. Wow what a miracle Roberta to read how you transformed the pain that dominated your life with Esoteric Connective Tissue, it is an amazing and powerful modality.

  225. Roberta what a wonderful story of inspiration and hope you offer in your reclaimed livingness. It is not easy to move past the constant unrelenting pain to find that deep still place of love and healing potential. I hope with the passing of time get the opportunity to feel the sand beneath your feet on the beach.

  226. “She reminded me that I was not the pain. The physical pain was not who I was. It was my experience, but it did not define me.” Such key words – pain can be my experience but it’s not who I am. That certainly is a light bulb moment Roberta, wonderful to read of the claiming of the true ‘you’ in every respect and a beautiful confirmation of the power of the Esoteric Connective Tissue Therapy. I also love this therapy and along with the other Universal Medicine Therapies, and taking responsibility for maintaining the pain free status with those lovely ‘sliding and gliding’ exercises, I no longer have the chronic pain I endured for much of my life.

  227. So amazing to read your blog Roberta. A great reminder for me to also listen and connect to my body more and more each day. Be more aware of how I walk, sit and work. I have been feeling hardness and discomfort on my shoulders and neck from sitting at the computer all day but I realised it’s because I have been disconnect from my body.

  228. Wow Roberta what a path back , thank God for Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine and its Esoteric modalities and practitioners .We are not alone and in truth we are always connected by love, feeling disconnected is painful.

  229. Wunderbare Roberta. Thank you so much for your blog. It is so inspiring to read about your experience with Esoteric connective Tissue and your healing with that. At my workplace there are often patients who have pain like you describe, and that made me feel helpless because they were always looking for a solution which is very understandable. Now I can sit and listen to them and have the inner knowing that they too can change their lives if they want to and that is so beautiful.

  230. Thank you Roberta for writing about your process – you bring through the magic of Esoteric Connective Tissue Therapy for many to feel. I am left inspired with a little more appreciation and respect for this Universal Medicine Therapy after reading your blog.

  231. Roberta I am inspired by your commitment to take responsibility for the underlying causes of your pain, utilising both conventional medicine and complementary medicine. I also relate to how supportive the Connective Tissue Healing Modality is especially for all those unknown inflammatory issues that have spoken very loudly to me of late.

    1. Thank you Jenny for your comment and I especially noticed your words “take responsibility”.Yes, I am finding this ‘taking responsibility’ more as I develop a deeper awareness of what ‘pain’ is showing me – and I am finding as time passes by that there are many opportunities to feel what the body is presenting to me and I reflect more deeply in those moments. I am also finding that developing awareness assists in choosing which Esoteric Practitioner of the various modalities will be able to assist in the clearing of those specific pains and what they actually represent on a deeper level. What a blessing it truly is to have the Esoteric Healing Modalities available to all.

  232. What a truly miraculous journey Roberta. I love how you say “I introduced myself to Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine …” And what a very powerful choice that has been for many others, including you and me.

  233. Thank you for sharing such a powerful personal story with us. I remember having my first Esoteric Connective Tissue treatment and had never felt anything like it before. The best way I can describe it is that it was like a deep reconnection and that somehow everything inside was physically coming into alignment it was so gentle and subtle but unmistakable and powerful at the same time.

  234. What an amazing story. I didn’t realize connective tissue was such an effective modality. I am inspired to find out more about it now.

    1. Yes Wattleblossum, it is true, I have found along with the other Esoteric Healing Modalities such as Esoteric Healing and Esoteric Chakra PUncture, that these modalities including Esoteric Connective Tissue Therapy as presented to me by Kate Greenaway have assisted me to attend to those issues that seem to arise consistantly for me to look at and to heal. I can attest to the the fact that some of the specialists that attended me have been mystified as to how I have been able to re-claim my ability for greater vitality and health even recently after a sudden bout of ‘fluid on the lung’.

    2. Yes, it’s true wattleblossum, connective tissue therapy is an awesome modality and should not be under estimated. Roberta’s story is amazing, and there are many more stories of healing out there. Connective Tissue Therapy is a very gentle, non invasive therapy and works with the connective tissue of the body. I have had many Connective Tissue therapy sessions and wholly recommend it to anyone.

  235. Thank you Sue for your comment and I can attest the healing is continuous. I have felt the benefit and enjoy the Connective Tissue Therapy exercises presented by Kate Greenaway to bring my body into balance, from the result of my own choices and the need for the body to be standing in a not always or fully harmonious fashion. I truly find the Esoteric Connective Tissue Therapy exercises no less than a blessing.

  236. Wow this is a ‘everyday miracle’ Roberta… going from living with constant pain to only occasionally is amazing and so inspiring. This is so great to remember, and something I don’t consider when I have pain – “The physical pain was not who I was. It was my experience, but it did not define me.”
    Esoteric Connective Tissue therapy has taught me so much about my body, and how I live and hold myself through life… being amazed by feeling how one part of my body may feel so tight and stunted and another part feel so flowing. It is such a powerful healing technique and I’m so grateful it is available.

  237. Not many would see pain in the body as being a gift! : ) …. but you are right it is telling us there is something wrong with how we are living. So the gift is listening to and responding to the message and pain/illness so we can change our way of life accordingly to support us.
