Getting sick and healing ....

Have you noticed that we seem to get sick when we least want it or can least “afford” it?  Have you ever wondered why that is?  Have you ever wondered why certain body parts hurt more than others?  What happens when we get sick?

Of course, that’s a very expansive topic so let’s just stick – for today – with something most of us can relate to: the “common” cold. Have you had the cold?  Are you having it now? Why did you get it?  Why did I?

Well, I can speak for me but more to that later..

Many people will say we get the cold because of the weather changes or because it suddenly was raining and we were not dressed appropriately and … yes, so many reasons are being given but then we have to ask: how come we don’t always get sick in those circumstances but only at certain times?

AHA, here it is… we’re beginning to unveil the deeper reasons – could it be that you haven’t listened to your guides and the messages that have been abound?  Were you asked to take a break because you were overworked or is there a decision you need to make but are trying to avoid and by keeping busy you can avoid it? And then… BAM.. you get sick.  So then, let me ask again, why are we getting sick? Indeed, you see what we’re getting at:  we didn’t listen to our guidance and we are required to take time out; for whatever reason necessary.

And then, what do we do once we’re sick?  We’re getting upset, we try to fight the symptom often by getting over-the-counter medicines and if they don’t work we get stronger ones from the doctor.  Of course, sometimes those get us out of the deeper sickness but … are we really getting “healed”?  How can we truly heal a cold  -- or any other illness for that matter?

How about, when we get sick we sit back and start looking for the root cause with gratitude that our guides are providing us the opportunity to heal ourselves, to eliminate some issues we need to deal with or they will keep holding us back?  Yes, it may seem like an inopportune time at first but … if the guides “make us rest” it means this is the time to deal with the issue because we have asked for that warning sign.

So then, what do you do next? If you’re not sure what the issue is – because we have a tendency to not see what’s right there for various reasons – start looking at what hurts: our physical body tells us in detail what the root cause is or what the root causes are.  What are you not providing to your bodies (all your bodies that now has them rebel against you?)
For example, if your main issue resides with the throat: throbbing, hurting, on fire, you cannot swallow – then maybe you want to ask yourself “what am I not saying” or “where am I not speaking my truth”? Then investigate that … is there something you’ve been meaning to say to someone or about something that you’ve been avoiding because you feel it may hurt someone?  So instead you keep it to yourself and it’s clogging up your throat chakra, preventing you from moving forward with love and compassion. How can you provide the peace again to you bodies?

Or maybe, your head hurts, a bad headache, maybe close to a migraine… so then ask yourself “am I living in my head or in my heart”?  You mind may be in overdrive and is not ready to handle all that material because the mind is just a tool, we’re to live from the heart, from love.

Or maybe your ears are clogged by the cold ..what would you ask yourself now?  Where would you look to find the root cause?  What do you think?  Any ideas.. yes .. there may be something you’re “sick of hearing” or something  you “don’t’ want to hear anymore”.  Good…

So now we’re getting the picture on how our body helps us identify the “real” issue… then what?  Now we need to address it.  This is where the real work comes in! Now we need to examine all aspects of this issue/cause and then work through it, forgive, let go, move forward with love and compassion, and often that means changing our approach to a situation or a person as only we can change ourselves.  So there’s the work you’re being asked to do to keep moving forward on your path.

Yes, of course, professional medical support and advice will help you through this and is often a good choice to have during times of illness but in the end, healing the root cause is up to you as only you know yourself – or if you don’t then maybe you’ll be asking a medical intuitive for help (because, yes, this is what we also do as medical intuitives, we’re able to help you identity the root cause of any medical condition and then you have a choice to work on it, in addition to continuous or beginning professional medical treatment). Once you have identified the issue always know it’s your choice on whether to work on it or not and how.  The important thing is to realize that you have the power the heal yourself and that any sickness or any time where you are “taken off your feet” and away from the buzz of the world that keeps you so nicely occupied, that is a gift from your guides – a wonderful gift to help you move forward.

So – I’ve been sick for two weeks and yes, I know why and I’m working through it … I am accepting what I cannot change and am changing my attitude towards situations and people that are making up the root cause.  I am filled with gratitude for these past two weeks that have helped me deepen my connection to myself and my inner light while clearing out stuff that no longer serves me so that I can move forward on my path knowing my guides are on my side, protecting and loving me.

What about you?  How are you handling your sickness – if any?

Alone in a crowd -- observations....

What a nice day it is... the sun's out, the wind's blowing wildly... and I can sit inside and do what I'm here to do. For the last few days some thoughts have consistently been brought to the forefront of my mind; you know how it works... something you've often thought about... keeps just coming back again and again... so, I know this is what I'm to channel about today: 

Alone in a crowd -- are you?

I remember the first time this happened to me.. I was relatively young.. in the first instance it scared me .. I was wondering "why" .... then I began to enjoy the scenery unfolding in front of me... standing there.. people talking me to and me replying somehow but really being "all one" within myself and then stepping back again physically as well... I tend to do that a lot.. feeling the energies, I suppose.

Now in that instance I wasn't just standing "outside" I actually had added experiences, which taught me so much more about myself than I was able to grasp back then and now.. I enjoy it.

The other day I was in a big crowd, and it was fascinating to me to observe people in this special environment... all were there to enjoy the attractions and events but they seemed to be in a hurry, often with stressed looks on their faces, some pushing strollers aggressively to get other people around them to move out of their ways; then there were others who allowed everyone to cut in line, made sure that families and groups stayed together, enjoyed different foods, laughed and smiled; then there were others who were enjoying yet observing ..... fascinating to see that multitude and yet, we're all there supposedly for the same reason... 

Have you been in situations like that? 

I am happy "all one" in a crowd or physically without someone else around, happy with my loved ones or without someone else around; all these are experiences that help me know who I am, allow me time to look inside and explore who I am, what I am and who I like to be around, who I need to be around, and answers the "why's".... just sharing... to me it's a beautiful thing to be able to choose... to learn from observations and, yes, it helps me understand my purpose even more deeply because I know I'm always put into different situations for different reasons. 

Just sharing... just thinking...

How often have you found yourself feeling alone?
How often have you found yourself feeling lonely?
How often have you found yourself wondering why you are where you are?
How often have you found yourself wondering if anyone really knows you?
How often...?

Questions are abound but as always.... there's  reason;
yes, there's  a difference between being alone and being lonely -- a topic for another time, maybe -- but for now let's focus on "alone." 
What a great word: "all one" ... are you all one when you're with yourself?
Just wondering...

Let's talk about a crowd of people ... and you in it... yes, it happens often, doesn't it?
There's a lot of people around you daily: at work, at the grocery store, while driving, at the party, at the gaterhing, at the coffee shop, and ... yes...so many other places.
Now think about it... while in the crowd, have you at times felt like you're not "fitting in" or "you're not really there?"  Somehow you are on the outside looking it?
No, it doesn't need to be a bad feeling, just a sense that somehow you're not quite "in" the crowd -- nothing bad about it, it just is sometimes.

Have you had that sense?
If so - how did it make you feel?  Did you feel alone?  Did you start to worry? Did you... what did you feel and what did you do?
Many people are scared when that happens... have you noticed?
Socially many have been conditioned to fit in, to blend in, to be a fully "with" and on the "inside" .... and then what?
So, what is your reaction to noticing you're outside?

One thing that is beautiful, for example, when that happens, is to begin to observe others and yourself.
Yes, observing your own feelings and reactions to such a situation is crucial as it's all about knowing yourself, right?
But observing others is also important in those moments -- how are others behaving, what are they doing?

You can learn a lot just by observing... yourself and others!
You can learn so much about others by their actions and behaviors in crowds.
You can learn so much about yourself.

What can you find out about yourself and others this way?
For one, are they "all one" with themselves or are they just trying to "fit in" - and what about you?
Are you "all one" or trying to figure out the different pieces?

These are important aspects if you think about it... do you want to be an individual in full alignment and integrity with yourself, knowing every aspects of who you are or do you prefer to mold yourself around others' needs and belief systems?
It's a choice .. no worry but at least be aware of the choice... then you are in integrity :-)

Peace, Love, Laughter & Harmony,

Welcome to 2011!

The new year is here with all it's promise, all it's open doors, all it's ways to create anew or continue creating what you have begun.

What a wonderful time it is ... excitement is in the air and the energies all around us reflect that excitement.

Mother Nature is showing us her force in all different continents in different and unique ways as it's her mission this year to ensure we're waking up and stepping forward if we're ready.

Yes, only if we're ready -- it's always a choice, a choice you need to make, and a choice you can make every single day anew.  Every day is a chance to make a choice .. isn't that wonderful?

As you begin this new year you may find yourself a bit confused about your path, not sure where to go, not sure what your journey is to be ... don't worry, that's quite normal.  The energetic patterns are trying to push us a little, trying to help us make our choices, then claim them openly, so that the Universe can support us fully in whatever choice we make because that choice is what we choose to learn!

We have learned so much already but yes, there's more ... so get ready and be open ... have an open heart, and open mind and be ready...

For some of my dear friends and myself New Year's Evening was a wonderful experience of openness as we reconnected with one of our soul family members and were met with the same love we were ready to give.  It was time to reconnect and what better way to start the new year? 

My heart and soul are filled with gratitude as I reflect on 2010 and all that I was and am blessed with, so much love and light in my life and so much amazing support that I cannot help but be humbled.

How about you?

What do you see, sense, hear, feel, taste or know when you look back at 2010?  And what does that make you expect for 2011?

Think about it... isn't it wonderful to be out there always able to share and choose? 

What an amazing human experience we are having...

Enjoy this journey ... laugh a lot and fret at little as possible.. all's good ..

May you have a blessed 2011 filled with all the abundance you desire.

Peace & Love,

Natalie
