When we can look at the whole person the good, bad, ugly, and beautiful with unconditionally care for, love and nurture all those aspects then we bring the body into harmony and balance and on the road to wellness. Pinch response- If someone were to come up and pinch you what is your reaction? You respond on all levels. Physically reach up grab the spot, emotionally feel the pain and react, mentally the mind begins sending signals sending endorphins to begin healing of the ouch to the physically and the verbal response can be a spiritual release.
