I am Catholic and own a massage clinic. I do not use Reiki or any energy work, but I do call on the Holy Spirit to use my hands to help. Constricted muscles need work. We have studied anatomy and biology. So we also know, the lymphatic system benefits from lymphatic movement. I work mainly with injured Veterans and get complex cases like muscular dystrophy or post surgical patients, but all people can benefit from massage. Our bodies need work and stretching of the muscles. I get 70 and 80 year old patients coming in that have never had a massage. Their backs are hardened and their Range of Motion is impaired. Massages could have helped them prevent this. (I also work with a senior center). I know the Lord is the one doing the work. I'm just answering the call to help.

❤ agree to this, we should be examining the wisdom for the Bible and the Holy Spirit to look for health benefits

How on earth do people have time for self care with kids? The second I close my door, even to go to the restroom, everyone rushes to find me and see what I’m doing.

Beacause self care doesn’t have to take you out of your vocation! More often than not it can help you enter it more deeply! Things like using a dish cloth in a colour and pattern that makes you happy when doing the dishes, putting a favourite cream on your hands after the dishes, a pretty broom, putting laundry outside on the line, a favourite candle lit at the supper table, plates that make you smile, having eucalyptus leaves in your daily shower and taking the smell in, preparing favourite foods, music that makes you happy and dance around a bit when cooking, reading your children one of your favourite children’s stories from your childhood, prayer, even short ones like the Jesus Prayer throughout the day….it’s about knowing yourself and God’s Creation in you as a beautiful individual well enough to know how you can find happiness and joy in your Vocation and daily life, and not outside of it or despite of it!

I was in a Christian talk and I asked the speaker about God’s second-greatest commandment, where I think loving our neighbour presupposes loving ourselves. But my question was treated as a selfishness. I was talking about how people often forgot to take care of themselves and destroyed their body. I am suffering a depression but I keep on inviting people to know Jesus…It is really tough

@Joshua24-15Home 7 ай бұрын

I agree with you, we need to love ourselves and give from the *overflow* to loving our neighbors. Besides, the "new commandment" isn't *just* "love your neighbor. It's "Love your neighbor *AS YOURSELF* . Jesus was pretty clear on that point!

@@wealthybones1280 definitely need to rethink your myopic pov. Great example off the top of my head: my mother is a brilliant woman who gave up everything to raise a family. She did a phenomenal job, but I know she would have preferred to live a little bit more for herself instead of spending every day caring for little ones. In fact, she suffered from post-partum depression for over a decade of her life and never realized it because she was too busy taking care of us. She was miserable every single day for almost a decade, and I wish that she was allowed to take time just for herself. She's incredible happy now, still suffering from arthritis, but able to spend time taking care of herself while taking care of my younger siblings. But I guess you'd rather just generalize women by saying theyre lying and lazy.

@@wealthybones1280 great, what a completely unfounded claim. I'm sure that sentiment is greatly appreciated by the OP who was complaining about being ignored by people who make the exact same assumption. You stated that you knew of no example of someone caring too much of other people, as if somehow that phenomenon (a fairly common one) never occurs. You are wrong and completely unhelpful in how you use your language.

God gave us mind,body, and soul; we need to take care of them so that we can serve others; sometimes it's good to allow others to serve you if you are in need; allowing others to show God's loving care to us will allow us to serve others.

Phronesis/prudentia is key to making the distinction between (a) regular, essential self-care and (b) selfish lifestyle. I know some people who do too little self-care, and some who live a selfish lifestyle under the rubric of self-care. I know more of the former. That is, more people sacrifice too much rather than too little.

I struggle with mental health and I disagree on the comment on medication. If I didnt have more than half of my meds I would be lost and The Lord would be last on my mind. I struggle with trusting the Lord and cant wait for the day when I am healed from all this medical crap I have to hold because the Lord said no to healing me. I agree self- care is idolized in our society but I also think its important to take care of ourselves. The Lord can only do so much.

I attend Divine Liturgy at a English Pan-Slavic Orthodox Christian Church (OCA). The Lord gave us all of the herbs of the earth to use. Most medicines come from plants, antibiotics come from mold, aspirin comes from tree bark. Morphine comes from opium. (Opioids should be used sparingly, palliative care, surgeries, acute injuries). Even Lithium is a naturally occurring chemical our body uses for neuron synapse function. Calcium, potassium, Omega, are all natural occurring minerals and vitamins that build healthy cells and tissues in the body. I'm not ashamed that I take medication to correct chemical imbalances, and to control high blood sugar, and for acute anxiety attacks. When an individual looks after their mental health, other important aspects of their health, relationships, social functioning, improve as a result. Of course, everything in moderation and good routine are the bedrock of healthy productive living. 😊

What is self care

@VictoriaM689 7 ай бұрын

Self-care is papering ones self and taking a shower, brush teeth, brush hair. Pretty much basic hygiene on top taking a day to not work and according to the world take care of ones mind. What society fails to leave out is we need to feed into our Lord more than our mind or imagination. This is my opinion of it. I could be wrong.

0:34 _"narcissism or selfishness"_ Would you mind defining where those things are condemned in the Bible or the Catholic Tradition?

@AA-gu4mw 7 ай бұрын

Being a narcissist or selfish is incompatible with the two greatest Commandments. Love God above all and love your neighbor as yourself. It’s not possible to do those things while being selfish or a narcissist. Loving others requires sacrifice. Selfishness and narcissism sacrifice the good of others for your own personal gain.

The devil is a narcissist. He rebelled and said he would NOT serve. He received eternal damnation for it. NOT serving God and choosing to serve yourself as seen in that example leads to your own condemnation and eternal damnation.

@@AA-gu4mw Again, it is _you_ who add up what narcissist equates to. Again, you are not showing from Bible or tradition what you are pretending to prove. Chosing not to serve God even on the minimal level of keeping his commandments is damnation, but that's not a necessary corollary of narcissism. One can describe Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart as a narcissist. There are probably non-Catholics who describe St. Therèse of Child Jesus as a narcissist. Or St. Bridget. Are these three damned just because you chose Satan as your example of narcissist? For Sts Bridget and Thérèse, I hope you reject the thought utterly, and I hope even Mozart wasn't damned, but if he was, it was for Freemasonry, not for "narcissism" ...

@@hglundahl everyone after the fall, has narcissistic tendencies. Some more than others. It’s those narcissist tendencies that make you commit sin. Always. There is zero cases of one willfully sinning where you can separate from narcissism. Having narcissistic tendencies isn’t an automatic condemnation. Otherwise we’d all be in trouble. It’s the lack of humility to accept we are selfish and choose evil and that aside from Gods grace we cannot change our sinful patterns that condemns us. It’s our cooperation with our selfish desires that separate us from God. When we indulge in our selfishness we sin. How can any of the Ten Commandments be broken UNLESS we willfully follow our own inclinations?? Is that not selfishnesses and narcissism? And how can one stop sinning unless he confess to God that he is a miserable narcissist full of pride who wants to do what he wants. What do free masons promote if not to do what they will? That is narcissism. We there or not people think St. Therese was a narcissist doesn’t matter. I’m sure If she were living shed joyfully claim that narcissism to glorify God all the more for the work he has done in her.
