What is Mickel therapy?
Body – mind treatment
Talking therapy
Interprets symptoms – a call for help
Head Intelligence
Body Intelligence

Body intelligence
The body is far too intelligent to make mistakes
The body never lies

Body intelligence
Symptoms are necessary and intelligent communication…
… from the body to the head

Body intelligence
Symptoms contain a message…
…from the body to the head

Body intelligence
A symptom never comes without a preceding emotion…
… which is usually missed
… or ignored

Body intelligence
Symptoms can be interpreted, understood and rectified…
…by understanding their cause
… and dealing with the cause

Body intelligence
The body is a self-healing mechanism
We are designed to be healthy
Good health is our natural state
Need to understand body intelligence

Body communication
Body communicates without words
Sensations
Emotions
Mental symptoms
Physical symptoms

Body communication
Body communicates without words
Physical symptoms
Mental symptoms
Emotions
Sensations

Body communication
Mental (Physical) Symptoms:
Anxiety, Stress, Brain fog, Worry, Fear, Anger, Sadness
Physical Symptoms:
Insomnia, Fatigue, Poor digestion, Irritable Bowel, Food Intolerances, Asthma, Allergies
Sore muscles, Pain, Arthritis
Weakness, dizzyness

Role of body intelligence
To keep us healthy
To keep us safe
Sympathetic (stress) vs parasympathetic (relaxation) response
Sympathetic = fight / flight
Physiological changes

stress
Stress is the major culprit
Stress is a habit
Habits are unconscious
Stress is unconscious
The body is stuck in the sympathetic mode
The body is on full-alert… all the time
The body cannot heal in the sympathetic mode

How does Mickel therapy work?
Understanding body intelligence and body communication
Interpreting symptoms
Understanding the patterns and behaviours of the client
Teaching life-affirming behaviours and habits
Teaching people to live in accordance with the ‘laws of health’
Teaching people how to bring their body into parasympathetic mode

Key concept #1
SELF-CARE
Look after ourselves
Look after our needs
Mentally, emotionally, physically, spiritually
Respect and care for our body and mind
Put our needs first
Self first is not selfish

Key concept #2
EMOTIONAL HONESTY
Acknowledge feelings
Feelings are waves of truth
Communicate how we feel
Be honest with feelings
Allow emotional energy to flow

Why emotional honesty?
Quantum Physics: everything is energy
Emotions are energy
Blocked emotions = blocked life force = blocked cellular function

rheumatology
"that which flows as a river or stream“
Blocked emotions =
Blocked energy in motion =
Blocked life-force energy =
Cellular changes and physiological dysfunction
Fibromyalgia
and associated symptoms

Why?
Good health requires that we be in INTEGRITY with ourselves and others
Integer – latin: whole / one
In alignment – lined up

integrity
We cannot separate mental, emotional and physical symptoms
They are all part of the same thing
integer
