Many of my blogs come back to this idea that everything is energy and energy is what connects all and is emanating out of us. However I would like to underline something that in our culture is coming into mainstream but is still seen as ….possibly a little out there.
We are all familiar with medical options and medical recommendations and looking at the body and then finding a label for what is happening. This is called “diagnosis” and we are taught how to evaluate and assess and label as part of any type of health-care schooling. I am over-simplifying but ultimately diagnosis is— looking at the physical body, what signs, markers, and symptoms are there physically and assessing those clues to find a label to then treat the physical body. Hopefully to halt, stop, or change what is being expressed.
NOW….as we move into new science, new ideas and more emphasis on the body-mind-spirit connection. We are starting to see the error in our ways when we only address the physical. Or see the physical body as the solution to our dis-ease.
YES, the symptoms may be there. However the body is trying to tell us something. It may be really YELLING at us or it may be very faintly whispering.
However, by the time our bodies are physically expressing a dis-ease process its usually a pretty good indications that our “TRUE North” of who our soul is and our soul’s purpose for expansion and love and bringing this into the world may have gotten off track by a lot or a little.
I love this idea that the body shows us TRUE NORTH! (For the record our outer world shows us true north as well). The trouble is we must be willing to listen to it. Feel it. Ask it questions? Why is this showing up?
Then get quiet and receive the intuition we all have access too. I know there have been quite a few periods of my life where I WAS NOT hearing, listening or open to much intuition. I also may be hearing it but avoiding it. The universe and my outer and inner world have had to get pretty BOLD to show me true north. (no joke, I was held up at gun point in a foreign country- talk about a wake up call).
But that is how it is sometimes. Sometimes OUR bodies need to HOLD US up at gun-point and say——”COME’on ALREADY!!!!!! …I have been trying to talk to you, nudge you, get you to pay attention to me in forms of thoughts, feelings, emotions, patterns and you are NOT listening. So now I will force you to.”
In the moment – not easy. However, on a different level starting to honor this intelligence and see the beauty in it —- IS LIFE CHANGING and EMPOWERING even in the midst of the chaos.
Are you ready to step into more responsibility in your own life and what you are experiencing? LISTEN to your system – what is your true north telling you? (aka your soul). If its hard for you to decipher spend more quiet time with yourself. Find a moment or an activity that always helps you connect to yourself. Then ask the question and be willing to receive even the smallest insight. That’s a starting point.
