My Latest Painting On Letting Go Of Your Trauma Coping Mechanisms

Healing Artwork, Soul Healing / By Laura Koniver, MD

I painted this because I, like all humans, have gone through heavy, life altering traumas. And I, like all humans, have built up some impressive coping mechanisms to get me through. But sometimes those coping mechanisms are no longer needed. Sometimes we forget that the storm might have actually passed. We forget to check to see if it is still even raining. So we walk in the dark heavy shadow of our walls and barriers, and we can’t even see the sun has started peeking out. I had an image of myself, walking with my umbrella over my …

How To Hear Your Body’s Intuition Speaking To You & How I Discovered Mine

Healthy Mindframe, Intuitive Medicine, Soul Healing / By Laura Koniver, MD

One thing I know about intuition is this: everybody has it and everyone can use it. If I can access my intuition, absolutely without a doubt, so can you. I absolutely was THE most conventional person on the planet… since 5 years old my goal was to become a physician and I worked hard to become an M.D. by the age of 26 years old — I was square and type A and totally boxed into the world of conventional thinking. After I became pregnant with my first child, I fully intended to continue on …

The Dance… My Latest Original Painting And Why I Painted It

Healing Artwork, Healthy Mindframe, Soul Healing / By Laura Koniver, MD

“What is to give light must endure burning.” -Victor Frankl In turning 49. starting my 50th circle around the sun, I’m ever aware that time on this earth, any length of time, even one day of time, is precious. I want to start thanking my body for the gift of waking up today in it. And focus on what an honor that is, not the things I don’t like about it or the limitations I perceive from it. To remind myself, I wanted to choose a word of the year that evoked the energy of wearing my body in …

Connecting With Others Protects Your Own Heart’s Health… Here’s How

Intuitive Medicine, Medical Reports, Soul Healing / By Laura Koniver, MD

We all intuitively can feel that connecting with others boosts our health, right? How much better do you feel after a warm hug from a friend, the comforting squeeze of a partner’s hand, or the joy of laughing around a dinner table with your children. Sharing space with a loved one for even one minute is enough to completely turn a bad day into a good one. Medical studies have shown that increasing your connection to others not only improves your health, it actually increases your longevity. I feel this has something to do with the fact …

Why Our Posture Affects Our Energy Level And Our Emotions

Chakra Health, Healing Artwork, Soul Healing / By Laura Koniver, MD

The last time I ran my annual Chakra Healing Class, one of the most interesting topics came up. On of the participants (thank you Steve!) mentioned that he noticed becoming more short of breath when his posture slumped. That brought on a wonderful discussion of all the different ways that poor posture literally physically affects your health… everything from dry mouth and dental issues to decreased oxygenation, decreased sleep quality and even increased ADHD symptoms. But posture affects more than just our physical body… it affects our spirit. In class I shared a link …

Healthy Mindframe, Medical Reports, Soul Healing / By Laura Koniver, MD

You can already intuitively feel that connecting with others boosts your health. Think of how much better do you feel after a warm hug from a friend, the comforting squeeze of a partner’s hand, or the joy of laughing around a dinner table with your children. Sharing space with a loved one for even one minute is enough to completely turn a bad day into a good one. But it’s not just something you intuitively know, it’s something that has been medically studied and shown to actually protect you health. Medical studies have even shown that increasing your connection to others not only improves …

Feeling At Home Inside Your Body (+ My Latest Healing Painting)

Healing Artwork, Healthy Mindframe, Soul Healing / By Laura Koniver, MD

My favorite way to release anxiety, drop out of my overthinking mind, and come home to my body is to combine grounding, deep breathing, and my favorite mantra. Repeating a mantra has been shown to help with anxiety disorders such as PTSD, and I can think of no better phrase to repeat to help release stress, get out of fight/flight mode and relax into rest/digest mode. A randomized controlled medical study comparing mantra therapy as a treatment for PTSD was published in the American Journal of Psychiatry on June 20, 2018 and here is what researchers found: 173 …
