We are so much more than our physical bodies.  We are souls in bodies having human experiences, on this planet, at this time.

We all have had experiences, billions of them in this life alone.  If you think about all the lifetimes with all the billions of experiences, that is a whole heap of stuff.  

Now think about all of your past experiences that may have hurt you, where you have gone through tough situations.  Probably at least a few come to mind, right?

And think about for just a moment how maybe, just maybe you have experiences in other lifetimes that were less than pleasant.  Perhaps a lot of suffering, illnesses, untimely deaths, murdered even, persecuted, starved, etc.

Okay, let’s delete all that now.  Whew!

My point here is not to dredge up your past or make you feel like crap.  My point is to illustrate how your experiences no matter if in this life or before, have shaped who you are right now.  I know that for me, I would not be the strong, independent chick I am had I not gone through my wacky, highly dysfunctional childhood.  

I will add here that on some level I actually chose it all anyways, so I knew what I was getting into when I came here this go around, even if I didn’t remember consciously.  But that is another story altogether.

Back on topic now.  So we can safely assume from the above information that we might have lots and lots of unresolved traumas, experiences, past life stuff (technical term) that are waiting to be resolved, healed and released.  

Do you think that all of these unresolved traumas can possible effect our bodies?  

Do you think that all of the experiences we have consciously and unconsciously swept under the rug because we just couldn’t deal with them, could possibly effect how we show up in the world, our relationships, self esteem, our health, our weight?

I do, 100%.  I believe that all of those past unresolved emotions, beliefs, experiences are very much alive and well and living in our cells, our chakras, our energy bodies, our DNA and they are keeping us stuck, blocked, sick and unhappy.

But don’t lose hope, because I also happen to know that you are a powerful creator just as I am a powerful creator.  And as powerful creators, we can heal ourselves on every level of our being.  We have just forgotten our power.  We have forgotten that we can absolutely heal ourselves.  We have forgotten that we hold the key to our health and happiness within ourselves.
For me, energy healing is the way to begin clearing up and cleaning out all of the inner resistance, stuck emotions, tired and outdated belief patterns, old programing, limiting thoughts, so that we can move into a stronger connection with our bodies, minds and spirits.

When we can clear up all of that sluggish energy, we are able to tap into better health and wellness, more clarity, greater appreciation for our bodies, more confidence and a deeper connection with God (Source, Creator, Universe, etc).

It takes courage to begin this journey and re-claiming of your inner power and strength, but it is so worth it.  I can help you.  

I want to bring back into your awareness on you and your body’s wisdom for a moment.  There are so many distractions “out there”, and so many places we can focus on outside of us.  

There are constantly energy shifts in the Universe, planetary shifts, moon phases, astrology stuff; all the things we can look to when stuff isn’t necessarily going great in our lives.  These are certainly tools we can use.  But when we focus our attention solely looking outside of us, we are giving our power away to these other things.  Sure it may not be a huge deal in the moment when we read about solar flares and mercury retrograde.  It can actually give us comfort.  We can think, “Oh that is why this is happening and that is happening TO me.”  

This is giving your power away, essentially blaming something outside of your control.  The energy of blame however righteous and true it feels, is still blame.  

What if you just go within yourself, your body and ask your body what is going on with you; what you need to look at or heal and release?  It kinda takes out the middle woman and brings you back to you, which is where your power lies.  Just think about that for a bit.

The common denominator in all the stuff you have gone through, been through, lived through, experienced is YOU.  You played a part whether it was conscious or unconscious.  That is just truth, not good or bad.  It just is.  

When we can shift from the shadow, the victim or martyr energy (oh heck all the shadow parts of ourselves) to wake up to the truth that we are powerful creators who can make new, aligned choices for ourself, we can truly change, heal anything in our life and body!!

I have been otherwise occupied for the last week and a half.

You see I live in Wilmington, NC, and we have just had hurricane Florence knocking on our door.

We are safe. We are sound. We now have power in our home, air conditioning, internet has been restored.

All the creature comforts we have.

So many still do not.

Grocery stores are not able to receive food deliveries, so the stores are bare boned.

We have plenty of food in my home.

We are beyond grateful.

Everything feels like such a luxury after a week without power, air conditioning, phone service.

I have been up and down emotionally, all over the damn place.

But at the core, I am just grateful!

It is amazing how reliant we are on things, services.

It is also amazing how a disaster of any kind brings out the best in people (and the worst). I have talked with neighbors for the first time, shared a pot of camp coffee.

I am just grateful today!

If you are able to donate to the Red Cross, please do.  People have lost their homes!!

I think a lot about healing and health and spirituality and all things woo.  I really do.  I don't even pretend to have all the answers to any of it either.  I learn and grow as I walk on this Earth, and I try to share my nuggets of wisdom along the way.

This morning, just now in fact, I was thinking about healing and how we can look at our beliefs, emotions, thoughts, and all of that stuff and we can dig into our past and do past life healings all day long and still have more to look at and uncover.

I actually find this to be kind of exhausting, all that digging in.  Now I realize that most folks have no idea what I am talking about here.  Most people are so focused their mind chatter and worry of the future, that they aren't even taking time to breathe much less recognize the vastness that is the body-mind-spirit connection.

But I am not talking to them.  I am talking to you, and you know all about how your thoughts create your experience.  If you are reading this, if you have found me, you know.  On some level you feel the pull to learn more.

I have come to the conclusion that we are always creating and manifesting based on what we think, feel and do.  There is no time in our life that we just stop growing and learning and healing as well.  That thought alone can feel a little overwhelming at times.

But I also think that there is a fine line between all the digging and searching for things to clear and heal and release AND just being in the moment and being happy, enjoying your life.

Some folks just love to do healing on themselves all day long.  I find this to be one way of escaping the joy of living and just being here.  Again this is a fine line.

I do think any time we are triggered by something outside of ourselves, there is always something there for us to look at.  It doesn't have to take hours though.  I am at the point where if I get triggered (and I do), I can just literally stop what I am doing and ask myself right then and there, "What is up with this?"  and I can usually release it pretty darn quick. 

I don't spend all day doing healing, digging, releasing.  I think it can be as easy as saying "Delete" when stuff comes up and then we can get on with our day, in this world that we have chosen to experience.

I just think that if you are looking for something to heal, you will find it.  It can occupy you all day long if you choose.  At what point do you decide that right now you are good enough and go have an ice cream cone and celebrate how awesome you are?

Like I said at the beginning, I do not know all the answers, and I am okay with that.  I will probably have a different opinion on the matter tomorrow.  These are just today's thoughts.
