Man what a day… I swear I feel my adrenal glands swelling. They are so over worked right now… These little buggers are the regulator of our emotions, stress hormones, asa cortisol, blood sugar, reactions and many other important functions in our body are affected. Good, bad, and everything in between. I am tired, I am so over whelmed. And I feel it in my body. I have always been one who’s body reacts to my environment. I am aware of my surroundings and I try to honor my body and take proactive measures when in a crisis. I try to be aware of my stress and anxiety so that my body symptoms will be at a milder reaction. See I have lived in a high stress life. I come from a broken home and both sides had alcoholism and drug use. All the way back as far have knowledge of the bootleggers in my family. lol NOT funny. I was an EMT, A private caregiver, I worked in the hospital, all high stress positions in life. I have been around the best of the best. The best con artists, liars, two-faced, thriving, smart, personalble, addicts there are. I have so many in my circle of life. After decades of fight or flight mode my body, mind and emotions are leveling out. But i still have my times of crisis.
Well in the last two weeks I have had and heard of encounters that had happened that seemed to be the answer to prayer. I had alerted others, I had called others to join me, I declared what I felt in the deepest part of my soul. I believed, I had not believed in so long. I was in fight or flight mode for decades. I would have very short reprieves, Maybe a few days. But then back to the unpredictability of the people in my life. This is a lifetime issue for me. Well my hopes and expectations were crushed. The fear of what could happen did happen. It put a rock in my foundation if you will. Time for an explanation of how the body, mind and Soul are effected by a crisis, trauma, abuse, or choice. I believe there is always a lesson and a blessing in every situation.
I have different ailments, medical diagnosis, Arthritis, Fibromyalgia, ulcerative colitis, I have a hole in one of my lungs, and more. You get the picture, high maintenance, My addicted parents lived in constant worry and wonder if i was going to die the first year of my life. They didn’t have the patience that was necessary to care for a sick child. So I learned as I grew to hide my feelings, my ailments, my pain, then all of it got worse physically, emotionally and Spiritually. I believe we are guided by Spirit. I have seen to many deaths to not believe in Spirit. I believe that all people have a Spirit that is connected to that which is God the Creator, El Roi , Yeshua, My Healer, Jehovah Rafa, Great Father, Great Mother, Mother Earth and Father Sky, Yehowa, Abba, Papa, Santos, ECT. You get the picture literally 10,000, of names OVER AND OVER AGAIN. People have their own names, feeling and relationship with their Spirit and body.
So I got to a point in my health that I had to decide what was I going to do? I was on 13 medications, still sick, sicker even. My emotions were out of control, I was nervous and angry, I felt miss understood. I felt like each Dr just wanted to give me pills to take away a symptom. When none of them were to heal the tissue that was in need of care. But like a bandage, Just cover it up. So I deteriorated and became depressed, and more ill. I dont see how anyone can determine the interactions of so many pills. So i made the decision to get healing in my life. In all areas, Spiritually, Emotionally, Physically, nutritionally and become one with myself and my God. It was a hard ride ill tell ya. I was on sleeping medication, anxiety, bleeding, Anti-inflammatory, nerve pain, anti depressant, immune system, muscle relaxers, and more. I had went thru phases of drug withdrawal with people in my life and had medical training so I weaned off. I changed my life habits, routines, thinking, beliefs , got Spiritual Guidance, developed my Spirit Of Discernment and consciously thought out what I was to say everyday. I had to learn to love myself, and I am probably 75% percent less stressed than 10 years ago.
That being said there a whole lifetime of things to talk about as to why people are shaped a certain way. So I went to only PRN meds. Which means taking as needed. EX. Anti nausea meds, Anti Diarreah, headache, body aches ECT. But there is nature and what she brings. Mother Earth what does thst mean to me? Wow I could go on and on…. But I will say that Mother Earth keeps us grounded, steady, she holds us up, grows our food, holds our water, supplies all our needs. Sound like a mother? Father Sky, well He encapsulates everything. The Whole Universe! He carries the Life giving air that Mother created Inside of the tree and Exhales through its leaves. They collect our harmful breath and convert it to life giving oxygen. Very simple terms , there is much more to that process.
So I have a relationship with the Creator of the Universe. I now accept the gifts that I get from them. As my mind and heart and soul, started to mend and believe I could get better, I did. I have had to really take a magnifying glass to myself. To admit I was Wrong in so many areas of my life. To see someones elses point of view and relaize both points of view are correct. If two of us are looking at a tree trunk, we will see different things. Our eyes will notice things with our brain, our emotions, our Spirit, our senses, and all of these are individualized. So we notice different things on the tree. But they are boith correct. Well it is the same in any situation that we are in. We must evaluate how and when we will react to our circumstances. Which then gives you the road map to your health. If all our trauma is stuck in our body , then heal the trauma, heal the ailment. I have certain things have been lingering for a very long time. I have chronic pain, I have anxiety, I dont sleep deeply. I got one of those watches that tells you your sleep score. Mine is always fair, or poor. I have learned to stretch, moves, speak kindly to myself, take appropriate measures to care for and love myself. As I do this my physical body gets more limber and most of the time I can then accomplish what I wanted to that day. I can tell you that I move much better, I have better health, I can travel without feeling anxious. I do have to take a very active role in my health. See I have noone to take care of me. My children are not able to help. I don’t have many friends and they are busy with their families and I dont want to be a burden. And frankly some people just look at my life say wow, to much drama. I dont really blame them. They have their own drama. But when I was all alone and had noone to turn to. My 3 friends were not answering, my family would either not talk to me or act as tho I didn’t exist. Was I a thief? NO. Was I hurtful to them? Not that i know of. I have searched my heart I have asked for those I was led to forgive me. Nothing to forgive was the response, but no contact either. My friends, I did not have many. I Lost quite a few friends when my family started to fall apart, in my 30’s. . My health continued to decline and my family went into disarray.
Everyday I learned to talk to, spend time with and listen to my Creator. I listen to my body and I listen to Mother earth and Father SKy. Have you Ever ran for cover when a bolt of lightning hit the ground or your roof and all at once the same time a BLAST of Thunder. The feeling of the earth shattering, loudness and the shaking of the earth under your roof, all around you. You feel the vibration and the thunderous loud kaboom. The trembling is felt down to your bones. Some may scream, I do, or jump, or hit out, or bite their tongue, or tinkle. Any number of reactions can come thru our bodies in reaction to the little minute force of Father Sky. I have learned the hard way if I am told to move, I better move. I have had to face the darkness of my life.as it was lit up by the lightening. As I have faced the darkness and applied love into those places, my health has improved. I have asked about different issues in my body and as I am asking for guidance and touching it a memory will surface. When it surfaces I can ask my Holy Spirit or whichever aspect of God you are calling on, to be with you to allow you to see the memory As watching this as an older version of yourself. You can feel the emotion and the Shalom peace that is over all the memory or vision or feeling. Then as your older self, you can comfort that younger part of yourself that wasn’t given the comfort that was desired then. Learning to hear the Spirit is essential. There are many ways the Holy Spirit will communicate with you. Some examples are: An undeniable deep peace, Audibly, A change in skin temperature, the chills or a warm flushing. Some people see pictures, some feel physical sensations, some just have a feeling. There is no right or wrong way to experience The Spiritual realm. Each persons relationship is unique and their own. There can be many emotions and truths that would contradict the peace and safety you feel as the older you comforts the younger you who is observing this memory with you. All around you are your guardians. Your angels. They are there for us to use them as we need. When we humble ourselves and become in tune with our surroundings. That is when real healing can take place. That place where we can face the dawn and ourselves and love those broken parts of ourselves. To comfort the younger you that didn’t get the comfort they needed. The wounding then continues to be fed by relationships and life experiences that remind us of an earlier time. A lot of this is subconscious. People can obsess over a thought for days at a time. It can become so invasive that it causes physical damage in our body, therefore ailments begin. The scars we carry, physical and emotional can cause a tugging. When we get a wound and it heals, there is potential for a scar to form. This is excess tissue that can grow in such a way that it can feel like something is tugging inside. It can be a little irritation or a big irritation . I believe that our bodies want to be in touch with us and let us know what they need to heal. Our bodies are made to heal themselves if given the right environment. Good food, Good thoughts, water, rest, herbs, spices, sound and touch. Sometimes our bodies need more Spiritual healing. I have witnessed in my own life and in the life of hundreds of people, their physical healing as the Spiritual, emotional healing takes place. A large percentage of people that I have spoken with have lost weight, been able to reduce the amount of medicine they take, have more restful sleep and felt more peaceful.
As we sometimes are called to fast from certain foods or beverages healing takes place. Changes in our cell development, the rejuvenation of our organs and the health of our brain cells. Sometimes we can benefit from fasting certain things and activities. I have noticed every time I have chosen to quiet myself and listen to the Spirit that lives within me. To humble myself and pray, to allow the reconciliation of my past life with my present life. To allow comfort, acceptance and love to flow in each area of my body, mind and soul. Any time we purposely give our bodies attention we are sending a message. Good, bad or neutral our giving of attention sends a message.
I am not 100% healed , but I would say 75% and there are days I have episodes that keep me physically at a standstill. They are not nearly as often as they were even a year ago. I have learned over the last 30 + years tips, tricks, helpful hints and knowledge to use in my continued healing. I have been given grace and peace beyond what I could have imagined. Most of the time.
Then we may have a period of time when it seems all the gates are opening to the unpredictability of our life. Like my last two weeks. I have been involved with jail, courts, family estrangement, deception, lies, vehicle issues, physical pain in my body. I also am experiencing emotional pain from having to suffer consequences of someone else’s actions. So my emotions are out of control, my body is reacting, my heart is crying out. Even physically yes my blood pressure and pulse have been higher than they ever have been consistently. So I have to do some self care, some taking the pain and turning it to see each side, self examination, and prayer. I am loving myself and honoring the feelings that come up. This can be an uncomfortable practice in the beginning. But as the body, mind and Spirit all work together they flourish. I want to encourage those of you who have chronic ailments, dont give up. They can improve, they can change, they can transform and heal.
My heart hurts and I will love, comfort and protect myself with my body, mind and Spirit in tune. I hope you can take a few moments today to get in touch with your own Spirit, mind and body. I am loving on my adrenal glands today. Lowering my cortisol, and detoxing the negative from my life with fasting from anything or anyone that is damaging my body.
Ho’oponopono is a Hawaiian practice that has brought me so much healing, reconciliation and forgiveness. i acknowledge and take responsibility for my actions, i seek forgiveness and express gratitude and love. Speak these words and finish them either out loud or write them down. They can be done for a general situation or a more personal encounter. But feel and honor them.
Im sorry
Please forgive me
Thank you
I love You
