Ep1: What is Sacred Illness?

Welcome to the inaugural episode of Sacred Illness, where we explore the concept that illness is not an end to a life, but an invitation to begin.In this episode, we explore what exactly is meant by Sacred Illness.I, your host (Dr. Erin), share my own story and experience with chronic illness and the healing journey that ensued, leading me to explore the mind-body connection and eventually to this idea that illness is in fact a sacred invitation to become more whole.Most folks end up in my private practice because they have tried everything to feel better. As a last ditch effort, they consider somatic, mind-body medicine.And that's where everything starts to change.In my work and in this podcast, we delve into what illness really means, and how exactly it presents an opportunity for self-transformation. Here is the article referenced in this podcast.And, if you'd like to learn more about me and my work, you can check out my website at www.aurorasomatic.com!Finally, don't forget to follow me on Instagram @aurorasomatic, and please share this work with anyone you think would benefit!Thanks for being here!
