When what you write about, is what has been going on for the previous week~what happens when you’ve been sick as a dog!?! The truth of it is, there has been amazing learning in this week too! Let me be clear: Pain and illness IS NOT my idea of the best way to evolve your consciousness or expand your awareness. However, if you are going through something physical in the body… Let it inform you!

I can’t tell you how many times I silently whispered to myself… “Don’t resist the pain, follow it, be with it”. When your dealing with a stomach virus… You get to follow it many places. I would love to say that I learned a lot from this process or it really changed the outcome of the amount of pain… But that would be crap! It did keep me present and I also discovered where I had some weaknesses in my Spiritual armor!

On the night of my birthday, we had a gathering of friends here… Most who never saw me because I was in bed, bloated, moaning and wishing that I could either throw up or expell something from my body… As it had been over 48 hours and I needed the relief! Fortunately, several angels/medical professionals (Katka, Courtni and Greg – Thank You!!) were there to check me out and start pointing me in the direction of healing.

The first few days I did not sleep because of pain… The next couple were due to having to go to the bathroom every 45 minutes… Even though I hadn’t eaten!

Flash forward to the final night of this “never to be repeated” ordeal! My dear friend Gisela came by and did a sound healing session and helped me tie the pain and energies being released to stuck emotions, that also wanted to be released… (probably from my full-body cleanse). (Thanks Gisela, you’re amazing)

Last night, my night was filled with dreams, fantasies, visions, and imagery. I slept soundly for several hours at a time, sometimes needing to move between beds because of the night-sweats, I woke several times to pain, but not the pain I had been dealing with…, but discomforts I have buried for a long time. So imagine the relief of not wondering if your internal organs and glands were going to burst… and instead that these old patterns, unresolved conflicts (even with self) and stuffed emotions were going to use this physical illness to also earn their escape! A detox and purge all supported by a stomach virus that just wanted to connect me with each of my organs in a more personal way! AAAaaahhhhh it feels good this morning to be alive!

I am not going to ask you in anyway to relate to this past week. I would not wish that on anyone. However, a couple of things stand out to me. 1) I am rarely sick and when something does come up it passes quickly. 2) For those who deal with chronic illness – bless you, I don’t know how you do it. I would be a mess. 3) Finally… We learn from EVERY situation and circumstance. When you follow your Higher Guidance (especially) during challenging times… You will know yourself better. That is my wish for you on this day of celebration… “Know Yourself Better”!

(p.s. I would be remiss if I didn’t say Fito is the model of a loving husband, that I aspire to be!)
