What is the Upward Spiral?
/
This will be an ever evolving page as I work towards defining all that the term Upward Spiral evokes for me.
__
In short, it is how I am conceptionalizing my inner journey.
As it turns out, Upward Spiral is also the name of my business. When I was deciding on a name for my business Upward Spiral had what I was looking for. It has a feeling of positivity, growth, and unfolding. It also is a great description of what happens in Structural Energetic Therapy, the therapeutic bodywork system I practice as the main source of my income.
I also loved how the acronym for Upward Spiral is US so I can joke that I work "for us," because I feel like I do. The services I offer help other people in ways that help make them a better person, which makes the world around them better. Maybe that's the upward spiral...
After I began my business, a friend of mine was reading Siddhartha and came across this quote:
“We have learned so much, Siddhartha. There still remains much to learn. We are not going in circles, we are going upwards. The path is a spiral; we have already climbed many steps.”
So I guess I'm not the only one who's sees the journey this way.
