Why Prioritize Imbalances?

In order to elevate your success rate using The Intention Wellness Method, it is important to work on imbalances in the order that the body needs most. Certain primary imbalances within the body can create secondary or compensatory areas of stress and tension throughout the entire system. It is not uncommon for these secondary areas to be much more symptomatic than the primary imbalances.

For example, just like when you accidentally step on a dogs tail, the noise comes out of his mouth. The primary issue is your foot on the dog’s tail. The loud yelping that is coming out of the dog’s mouth (symptom) is much more noticeable even though it is the secondary issue. You can address the loud yelping by trying to plug the dog’s mouth but you will not achieve any long-term results until you correct the primary issue by taking your foot off of the tail.

I will typically refer to these “primary” imbalances as the “major issues” and the secondary of compensatory areas as the “minor issues”. If we were to only correct the minor imbalances without addressing the majors, our results would be temporary at best. However, by correcting the major issues first, many of the minor imbalances will immediately dissolve on their own. I have found that this is the key to creating those long-term results that we are looking for. The main point here is: Always look for the primary imbalances. And, no matter how tempting it is; DO NOT chase symptoms.
