When we buy into fear and confusion we only increase it by adding energy to that fire. We are all processing the unrest in our country in our own way, and we must honor our individual processes. I just realized that I have been running grief and anger through my own body, and it puzzles me.
The day before the election I began to feel a cold coming on, attempting to infest my body. Even though I did all the holistic things I knew to do to prevent this illness, unfortunately by Friday it reached into my bronchial tubes and seemingly deterred me from my spiritual work. I now realize that I am doing my work, not in the way I have in the past, but this illness is helping me clear out my own emotional issues, and those in the country as well.
I try to walk my talk and not just give you insights but discover some for myself. When I looked in Feelings Buried Alive Never Die by Karol Truman, I found the issue of bronchitis holds an emotional component that did not appear to be things that were happening in my life at this time. It refers to bronchitis as holding these emotional issues:
- Wanting to change things but can't
- Wanting to be in charge but can't
- Extreme disharmony in the home
As I contemplated what I had discovered, I realized indeed I have experienced these issues in my life in years past. Hence, this not only gave me an understanding of why this part of my body was being compromised, but also gave me insight as to what is going on in the "body" of our country at this time as well. As you uncover your deep-seeded emotions, make sure you:
- Make time for yourself
- Take care of your body
- Nurture your emotions
United we stand in the light,
