A Different Understanding of Human Experience
Â
Everything that follows within Mickel Therapy® and Wired for Wonder™ grows from a small number of simple observations.
They are not rules to believe.
They are principles to explore through your own experience.
They invite a different way of understanding health, feelings and the relationship between ourselves and life.

Return to HomeFirst Principles
Â
The principles below have emerged from more than twenty-five years of listening to people, observing recovery and continually questioning how human beings interact with life.
Rather than beginning with illness, they begin with experience.
Rather than asking what is wrong with the body, they ask what the body may be communicating.
Together they form the foundation of everything that follows.
01
Our sensory field reflects the nature of our interaction with life through feelings.
Feelings are not created by the thinking mind.
They arise as energetic signals reflecting how we are interacting with the people, situations and experiences that make up our lives.
02
Feelings are signals.
They are not problems to suppress or emotions to fear.
They invite awareness and response.
03
When important signals repeatedly go unresponded to, the body can remain in a Prolonged Activation State (PAS).
Over time this ongoing activation may express itself as persistent fatigue, pain, anxiety, burnout and many other chronic symptoms.
04
The purpose of symptoms is not simply to be eliminated.
They invite us to become curious about what the sensory field has been communicating through feelings.
05
Recovery begins as we learn to recognise and respond to these signals, allowing the body to move naturally out of Prolonged Activation.
The goal is not merely symptom relief.
It is living in greater alignment with ourselves and with life.
Where do I begin?
Â
These principles are explored in two different ways.
For those living with persistent symptoms, Mickel Therapy® focuses on understanding and stepping out of Prolonged Activation.
For those wishing to understand themselves more deeply and live more consciously, Wired for Wonder™ explores the wider implications of these same principles in everyday life.
Both begin from the same foundation.
They simply travel in different directions.
