Discovery
The desperation I used to feel looking for a cure for the rare disorder I was diagnosed with.
The rare disorder is called Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (EDS) and is a connective tissue disorder. Connective tissue is the glue in your body. It provides support, flexibility, and strength. Required to support internal organs and structures such as blood vessels, lymph vessels and nerves.
Wanting to feel better, no pain, more energy. Realizing that research was not going bring me a cure, I chose another way.
I began to understand that my emotions may be causing the pain and I started a journey of discovery.
The most important thing I learned, was that I needed to connect to my feelings. That I had buried them deep within me. I had learned so much in life, yet I hadn’t learned how to connect to my feelings. I began to understand who and what created my understanding of life, good or bad. The understanding helped me to not blame them or it. I soon learned how to forgive them and myself. I now embrace the experience(s) and gratefully accepted them as lessons learned.
For me *truth* is based in the MindBody Connection. Louise Hay teaches this in her book ‘You Can Heal Your Life.’ Once I accessed ‘The List’, I began to see how many symptoms in my body were a direct cause of my perceptions, believes, thoughts and the way society had taught me to understand physical dis-ease.
Dr. Joe Dispenza says, “Emotions are the language of the body. And they are also a record of the past.”
Dr. Christian Northrup says, “We still need to clear old hurts, anger and grievances from our bodies. The health benefits of this are immense.”
Fifteen years ago, I started the process of releasing old hurts, anger and grievances and began to experience physical healing. I went onto yet another career where I was a Team Leader in the disability sector. I worked an average of 50 to 60 hours per week and for the most part was healthier in my 50’s then I was in my 20’s. I burnt out emotionally not physically. Once I realized I had become burnt out, I moved on to gain an understanding and connect to what I passionately love doing. Healing and helping others understand how to heal their life.
There are times I still experience physical dis-ease. However, now I recognize that my body is telling me something. I have the tools and utilize them to overcome, connect to the sensations in body and become healthy once again.
I listened to my heart, I listened to my body’s emotions, I’ve learned how to love myself, even the negative parts.
I may not be cured; I learned another way of feeling. Yet have experienced health beyond the expectations of the physicians. I do have side effects from medications that kept me alive when I had a bowel perforation. Thank goodness for life!
I am living more in the moment. I have gratitude for the health I am experiencing. I even have reduced pain and more energy.
I look for joy and happiness in life.
I share my healing journey through my blogs.
