Hello Practice Members and Friends!

Ok…time to be transparent again…

Many of you know that last Wednesday was my daughter’s birthday and I took the day off to go to the river with her. Well, on Tuesday night I started getting chills and body aches. I had a fever in the night with extreme chills and aches all over. Yuck! I woke up on Wednesday and knew there was no way I was doing anything but staying in bed.

So, I had a lot of time to be with this “sickness”. At first I was so sad and mad at my body for making me miss being with my daughter on her birthday. I resisted it and pouted and wanted it all to go away. No matter how hard I tried to fight it, it hung on and was only getting worse.

Wednesday night I was in the bath and, finally coming to a place of acceptance of what life was giving me, I put my hands on the area of greatest pain and asked my body, “What are you trying to tell me? What is the wisdom here? What is the gift? I am listening whenever you want to tell me.”

Right away I got the answer. I have been in a new relationship and there were ways in which I had been giving my power away and not saying things that I needed to say. My body had been giving me subtle cues over the past month that I needed to take my power back, speak up and stay true to myself, but I ignored them.

So, my body had to speak a little louder (actually a lot louder!)

The message was get in your power and speak up NOW!

So I did. I called him right away and we had an incredible heart opening conversation in which I got to speak my truth and stand up for my needs. And guess what happened?

After that call, about 80% of my symptoms were gone. I could feel my energy coming back and a sense of peace washing over me. But, I still had this wildly intense pain in my sacrum which kept me up almost the whole night. Again, lots of time to be with it and ask for the gift.

Another place where I had been giving my power away showed up, in a different relationship. Having learned my lesson, immediately when I woke I called this person and spoke my truth. And whataya know….. the pain was, literally, 100% gone!

So, was it the 24 hour flu or was it taking my power back? Of course I can’t say for sure, but I would bet a lot of money that it was the latter.

When we play small, stay stuck, give our power away, don’t show up fully for ourselves and our needs and desires, we experience pain. Our bodies are working FOR us and not against us.

The work we are doing together in the office helps you to reorganize in a way that allows you to show up, take your power back, say what you need to say, and be your #1 fierce advocate.

Are you FINALLY ready to start listening?
