Our bodies are so often crying out to be heard. It shows up in aches, pains and illness.
A couple of weeks ago I had to listen deeply to my knee.
I was in a field in the sunshine dancing my little butt off with tears literally streaming down my face as I was in a space of deep gratitude to be dancing in this body so fully still.
Literally a few minutes later I had the most excruciating pain appear from nowhere in my knee. I went from gratitude to anger and sadness in a moment.
I am a 48 year old woman, moving through peri-menopause, with young children, still finding myself struggling in relationships, of course my body is going to respond when I push it with dancing for hours and hours on end - all drug and alcohol free btw!
Anyway as I stood there tapping into my knee asking what it needed me to hear, I felt a rise of frustration, as I know you feel, even when listening, nothing was being said. I was angry and not only that but I doubted that my work even held any truth or value at all.
I had stopped dancing, I was still moving but every time I tried the pain was unbearable. I decided that even though I was in pain that I was going to continue.
Anyway, in that moment the message came in loud, I heard it so fully
âJane, the past has been really painful and no matter how much work you do, the past will always hurt, what happened wasnât OK AND the future is bright and exciting and you have to keep stepping forward into all of the joy that is aheadâ.
In that moment, the moment I heard it, my knee literally stopped hurting. I thought I was going to have to head back to the tent in pain and agony and all I really needed to do was open myself up to really listening to my body. I continued to throw myself around the place like a crazy woman for another couple of hours.
I love that this was an opportunity for me to recieve this message but also the reminder that his s**t works.
Are you listening???? â¤ď¸â¤ď¸â¤ď¸â¤ď¸
