Episode 04: The potency of listening. With Mary Bolingbroke.
I feel so grateful and blessed for all the wonderful Osteopaths and Osteopathy teachers I have met on my journey so far and who shared their experience and wisdom with me. One of them is Mary Bolingbroke! Mary keeps inspiring me on such a profound and I am honoured to have her as my guest on the podcast! Welcome, Mary.
In this episode she shares with us important parts of her journey and her understanding of health and the role of us Osteopaths … and yes, if you keep listening, I am sure you will feel and hear what I mean and why it is actually so hard to describe this wonderful teacher in words.
About Mary: Mary Qualified from the British School of Osteopathy in 1992 and then worked and trained with Stuart Korth at the Osteopathic Centre for Children in London until 1997. She co-founded the Irish Diploma in Paediatrics with Ian Wright in 2009 and she is on the Biodynamics of Osteopathy faculty, and regularly teaches on Biobasics (James Jealous) courses in the UK. Mary has a great interest in teaching as well as treating people of all ages and animals including horses, dogs and the occasional parrot.
In this conversation with Mary we talked about …
Marys` long and convoluted path and what brought Mary to study Osteopathy
Why our body always tries to seek health!
A simple (and so profound!) practice you can do to learn to get in touch with the stillness (and wisdom) within your body - the place from where so much wisdom is ready to be revealed!
Marys` understanding of how our body stores both physical and emotional events within its tissues and how this build up can lead to the experience of pain or mental exhaustion …
… and how Mary uses touch and the potency of listening to guide the body back to health
I hope you feel as energised and inspired as I did after listening to the interview with Mary and I am looking forward reading your thoughts and comments on instagram or facebook.
