Giving The Gift Of Health: The 3 Best Ways

Grounding / By Laura Koniver, MD

We all have loved ones in our lives that could use a health boost. And more than anything, that’s what we want to give them as a gift. A way to feel better. The gift of more energy, happier days ahead, and better health. But sometimes giving a healing tool is actually a tricky gift, because it is so personal. Health, and especially health struggles, are so deeply emotional and so personal. (Like I talk about here, even just the experience of pain is hardwired to the emotional centers in our brain and can trigger all kinds of …
