This week's been another very interesting week for me. For the first time in a long time I’ve been unwell and had to spend time in bed.
And it’s been an impactful week, full of learnings and aha’s.
I’ve spend a week listening to my body and gathering information about me and the life I’ve created for myself.
In many respects I have a great life. I live with a man who adores me unconditionally, whether I’m sugar and spice and all things nice ... or not so nice ... whatever the case may be.
I have 3 intelligent, healthy and gorgeous daughters, I have a loving and loveable extended family and some of THE greatest friends any body could ever wish for.
You know those friends who love and adore you just the way you are ... AND ... know you are still learning just like them! Holding you accountable for everything that happens (which you know you are, but sometimes you need a little reminder ;)
Friends who ring you up just because ... and give you that little ‘tweek’ to reframe you thoughts.
Friends who realize how great you are ... even when you don’t really understand that quite the way you should, but it holds you accountable to be the best you can possible be.
So I spent the week with my well worn copy of Louise Hay, You Can Heal Your Body looking up my ailments, thinking, tapping (I’m into EFT at the moment) and randomly opening some of the many newsletters I subscribe to.
Our Physical bodies offer us so much information. Candace Pert, PhD, the Georgetown University professor who wrote Molecules of Emotion once said that if you want to see your subconscious mind, then just look in the mirror. Yes, our body is its visible manifestation. And there’s more.
Dr Pert ‘discovered’ that the neuropeptides generated by our thoughts and emotions talk to every cell of our body. However, this communication is not a one way street. By sensing our body’s feelings, we get a clue as to what our deeper conscious minds ... and intelligences ... are saying.
So by paying attention to our physical sensations we begin to understand what’s beyond our conscious awareness. Our limbic system, those brain organs that make up our ancient mid-brain, is the direct link between our mind and our body.
Therefore, taking that one step further ... if we can begin effectively ‘listening’ to our body by noticing sensations like muscle tension, gut feelings, blood pressure and so on, then we may be able to relate what’s going on in our body to the content of our feelings and emotions.
I’ve spent the week following the clues my body was giving me about what was going on in my unconscious mind so that I can create my life in the way I REALLY want to create it.
I started out with questions like:
If I’m on the right path then give me sign in a way I wouldn’t expect that shows me this is so?
If I’m on the right path then give me a sign that clarifies this for me?
If I’m on the right path then what do I need to release in order for this to be easy to achieve?
If I’m on the right path then what do I need to understand, know ... in order to take the next step.
And you know it’s been like someone has taken me by the had and leading me along the path all week.
I’ve opened just the right newsletter, I’ve listened to the ‘perfect’ teleseminar, a friend’s rung me ‘out of the blue’ and asked all those questions I'd been ..., I’ve had just the right amount of discomfort and button pushing to encourage me to ask the questions that’s given me the answers I needed to hear.
And you know what, because I've been unwell, I've had the time to listen to the answers and integrate them into my being.
Was that information there before? Probably.
Was it information I’d read, heard, seen before? Most of it.
But out of it I got a whole lot of answers that I’ve never had in that way.
And the cherry on the cake ... Out of what I learnt this week and the shifts I’m making I got to be the catalyst for change in 2 other people’s lives ... specifically ... so the ‘ripple effect’ of my week of illness is enormous!
So, just what is your body trying to tell you?
Love life and live it creatively,
Leanne
