Experiencing chronic pain or anxiety? The answer to relief could be held in your body.

There's no question that our minds and bodies are connected, but did you know that our bodies have a direct connection to our spirit as well? In fact, some have said that the body is actually the soul's subconscious.

On today’s show, we aim to answer burning questions like how exactly is it that our bodies can affect our minds, and our minds affect our bodies….which ultimately end up affecting our soul...and we provide some tips to help you fix those challenges you're experiencing, once and for all!

We learn: 1. How stress and worry can cause physical pain without any detectable medical issues.

2. How movement and posture can be used to relax and reduce pain.

3. How to transition from fight-or-flight mode to relaxation mode through mindful techniques and awareness.

And a whole lot more!

"When you have stress, I mean, there's hormonal changes, there's gut issues. But one of the least talked about areas is how your body physically changes in response to whatever stress or you have, whether it's mental, emotional, spiritual, intellectual, physical, and the body starts to change physically. So it's more than saying, hey, Will, you need to relax, chill, man. You can't just do that to someone and expect them to know how to do that." – Dr. Amy Novotny

Dr Amy Novotny learned that physical and mental stress can lead to physical changes in the body, and that the muscles can contract without our awareness. She works with clients to help them understand how to relax and how to position their body to reduce pain. She also encourages them to stabilize their new relaxed position to become comfortable with it so that the muscles don't revert back to the old habits. Through her teachings, her clients learn how to reduce pain and create a new, relaxed positions for their bodies.

Dr. Amy Novotny is the founder of the PABR Institute, an organization dedicated to providing naturalistic treatments for pain, stress, and anxiety relief. With 13 years of experience treating a wide range of patient populations in various settings, she has helped countless people reduce and even eliminate pain, stress, anxiety, orthopedic surgeries, sleep issues, and the need for medications.
