If you have trouble trusting yourself or others, this blog is for you.
I’ll start with a little story before I share.
While I was in Thailand I got one of the most ugly, scary looking mosquito bites I’ve ever seen.
Like it was nasty. lol
I’m not even kidding.
When Ian saw it (about 4 days later after it happened), he even was like “WHAT IS THAT?!”, with deep concern.
I thought about posting a picture but I didn’t want to burn that image into your minds.
Anyway, the mosquito bite actually blistered.
How does this happen you ask?
I still have no idea.
The first thing I wanted to do was pop the blister.
Impatiently thinking that would make it heal faster.
However, I didn’t.
Have you ever experienced that?
Popped a blister?
Pulled off a scab?
Thinking in your mind that by your intervention you were causing the healing process to go faster?
I have.
Anyway, so I thought about it for a moment…
“I’ll just leave it. I trust that my body is wiser than my mind and it knows exactly what to do to heal most efficiently and get this bad boy back to normal, and if the blister wants to open up it will”
NOW….if you have not been raised in the Chiropractic philosophy, this may come as news…
However, your body is designed to heal.
Your body is ALWAYS adapting to stressors, physical, chemical and emotional,
AND…
Doing the most efficient and effective job in maintaining health & vitality.
Now you may be raising your hand and thinking…
“How can this be, I have an autoimmune disease, my body is ATTACKING me!!!”
Or,
“I have significant spinal degeneration impinging on my nerves! How is that heath!”
Or,
“Why do I have so much gas and heartburn then?!”
And the list can go on and on.
I totally hear you.
There were times when I thought my body was betraying me.
There were times when I thought my body wasn’t healing fast enough, or “the right way”
There were times when I was so angry at my body and what it was doing.
But what if…what if our body are ALWAYS on our side?
Always moving in the direction of healing…
Always moving in the direction we truly prefer, even if it was taking some perceived “detours”
And what if we were actually misinterpreting our body’s symptoms?
What if our body knew EXACTLY what it was doing?
(this may sound like a crazy question, however after seeing hundreds if not thousands of patients and clients, I fully heartedly believe this is true)
What if our body was communicating in a language we maybe haven’t learned yet, or maybe are just refusing to listen to?
What if our body’s symptoms were just feedback?
And the feedback was to get us into alignment for our truth…
Our purpose,
In alignment with our highest values.
Aware of our misperceptions and unconscious beliefs.
What if the body just wanted to be in alignment,
And it did anything and everything in order to do so.
What if that was the case?
What if our body was also communicating what it didn’t like?
For example…we eat something the body doesn’t vibe with and the body responds with gas.
Or maybe we are exposed to chemical stressors, such as pollution and our body responds with feelings of nausea to let us know to GTFO of wherever we were
(this actually happened to me in Thailand in an heavy pollution area)
Or maybe we experience a traumatic experience, we don’t fully “digest” our emotions and this shows up as irritable bowel syndrome,
Or maybe we sit frumpy in our chair, never exercise and have the posture of a pretzel, and wonder why we have spinal degeneration?
What if we can tune into our body and interpret the feedback,
so that we can get back into alignment,
with what is most efficient and effective for health and vitality,
so we can thrive
so we can have all the energy we desire
so we can do all the things we desire
so we can experience joy and ease in life
what if this were actually true?
After working with many clients,
I believe it is.
And this has created a profound sense of trust in the wisdom of my body
so when I get cut,
I can sit back and relax,
Knowing that my body is actively working for ME, 24/7 to heal,
And I don’t need to worry about whether or not the job will get done,
it just does.
Doing the most efficient and effective actions it knows how
and I can trust in that.
Now for those peeps who are interested in quantum physics and perceive there might be something to the idea of a holographic universe….
What if this was true for ALL of life?
What if you could trust life as much as you trust the wisdom of the body?
What if the intelligence of the body,
Was no different than the intelligence of the universe,
That the universe and the events happening in it weren’t “random”
And everything was moving in the direction of alignment?
Could you sit back and relax and take a deeper breath,
Knowing that you can trust yourself,
You can trust others,
You can trust life?
When I embodied this, I certainly felt more ease,
I hope you can too,

P.S Never ended up popping the blister, still healing and looking almost back to normal
