Revived with the light from lotus

For ancient Egyptians, the universe began the the boundless ocean called Noun. It is from the Noun that everything else was born, and then the gods and the rest of creation appeared. The sun came out of lotus flower on the first morning, and then the gods and the rest of the creation appeared.

Two bright lotus flowers were on the shelf, when I entered the practice of Engsø Zonetrapi. My shoulders were aching, my stomach hurt. When I felt the touch of the therapist's fingers on my feet, it stroke me almost as an electric shock.
"Your gut needs healing", "Your shoulders and spine need to relax", were the messages. I knew it. Even though I have practiced yoga for over 20 years, I could hardly get into a single pose without aching. Even thinking about returning to the mat, gave me a wave of anxiety. This is how I ended up in Pia's hands at Engsø Zonetrapi clinique. The first session left me physically exhausted.

Personally, it has been a struggle to adapt to the new age of inactivity with COVID19 lockdown. Thus taking at step out of my comfort zone and try Zone Therapy was a challenge out of the emotional ignorance. This is about time to start to believe that the era of ignoring mental and emotional health is coming to an end.
The light was shining through the lotus flowers at Christmas-time session. I have received a candle as a gift. After three more sessions with the interval of 2 weeks each, I could move freely. I changed my diet, exercise routine and added nutritional supplements that clearly heal me. I light the candle each time I practice yoga. It has been the best gift my body has received and I will certainly stay on this path.

Zone therapy is an alternative medical practice involving the application of pressure to specific points on the feet and hands. This is done using thumb, finger, and hand massage techniques without the use of oil or lotion. It is based on a pseudoscientific system of zones and reflex areas that purportedly reflect an image of the body on the feet and hands, with the premise that such work on the feet and hands causes a physical change to the supposedly related areas of the body.
