On this threshold of April and the first live meeting in the Body & Soul Sanctuary, I am just returned from a visit to the healing waters at Breitenbush hot springs, a mineral-rich, slow and nourishing forest retreat center in the mountains where the indigenous women used to go to give birth before colonists populated the area. The messages I am receiving... as I step more into leadership are around softening, allowing, and trusting, much like a birthing process. The land held me well, and she shared a message with me I'll share here now: You humans often associate relaxing with falling asleep, but indeed it is possible to soften and become more lucid at the same time. Relax and Awaken. Indeed it inspires awe in me to witness the planting of a visionary seed begin to sprout into fruition, already taking on a life of its own as it emerges. A few of the first members of the Sanctuary have agreed to share their voices publicly so that the experience of this deep healing work can be tasted just a little bit by you. Telling our stories of healing is important. It allows for a final layer of processing to occur, after the somatic experience has re-arranged itself. When given voice, the stories become the new script to which our life unfolds differently into the future. This week I am honored to share with you a conversation with my client Julia, who is one of the bravest healing warrioresses I have met. When she started working with me, she was in the throes of severe dysautonomia (the same autoimmune illness that was triggered in my own body by the Covid vaccine), and which until relatively recently in history was never reversed or "cured" by anyone medically documented (that has changed now that there are connections being made around the intersection of nutrient deficiencies, environmental toxins & physical injury or trauma, but that is information for another time). Julia's story is one of the soul shining through and ancestral resources being summoned from buried places of the psyche, in the gentle yet potent container of nervous system synch. We shared some profound moments of reflection as well as a few laughs, as well as a nice dialogue around the rift between money and the sacred. Please enjoy our conversation below!
