My Journey Towards Healing And Wholeness

How To Embrace Change When It Makes You Anxious

Healing

“Oh no not again,” I anxiously muttered under my breath. I knew our lives would change once again, but I am sick and tired of moving. 

We live in the middle of rolling hills and wheat fields with a green treed canyon on the other side.  Spring is carried by the whispers of the wind long before it actually arrives.  Nature never fights change.  It invites, embraces, and anticipates the change in seasons. 

I become stiff and rigid as the seasons of my own life ebb and flow.  It seems our lives are constantly changing. To be honest it makes me crazy.

In the ten years that I have been married, we have moved six times and we’re about to do it again.  I fight against the rampant irritability that lurks below the surface.

nature has something to teach us.

Fall drifted into winter.  The trees shed their dead leaves.  I braced myself, feet firmly planted, as the bitter cold wind whipped against my face.  It was annoying to watch how the trees swayed, almost danced in the wind.  The biting cold air burned deep in my lungs.  Suddenly I heard the word surrender from somewhere inside in my spirit.

I don’t desire to surrender.  I want things to stay the same.  We built this place from an overgrown field of weeds.  The shit storms we walked through just to get here still plague me.  What was it all for?

Three years is just long enough for us to get settled.  My kids and I are finally making friends.  I don’t mind leaving places, but I despise leaving people.  Rather than looking ahead to the adventure that awaits us, I’m stuck dwelling on what we are losing and leaving behind. 

Trees have roots that hold them in place, I complain, in this lively conversation, I seem to be having with myself.  They aren’t traveling from one edge of the forest to the other.  That’s why they are strong and sturdy. 

No, they are strong and sturdy because the winds of adversity cause their roots to crawl and reach down deep.  If they don’t bend and sway they snap, break, and crash to the forest floor below. 

Guys, this is a real thing! A study was done on trees, planting them in a biodome with the perfect growing conditions of soil water and light. The trees only grew so tall before they began falling over. What was missing? They soon discovered that trees need wind for their roots to grow deep.

“Whatever it’s still stupid,” knowing that I have somehow lost the upper hand in my deeply justified and slightly maniacal conversation with myself.

Fighting change won’t stop it

The secret to navigating change is learning to bend, letting go of the need to control our uncomfortable emotions.  Here are some thought-provoking questions I ask myself after I’ve already spent weeks sulking and stomping around the house.

What underlying fear is causing this anxiety.

Does my resistance to change accomplish anything?

Can I use this situation to learn something new about myself and the hidden strength that lies buried inside me?

When I start asking questions it allows me to see more clearly.  It always begins and ends with my very real need for certainty and stability.

Change is the only thing that’s certain. We can dance with the winds of change if we learn to surrender and let go. What exactly are we surrendering to though? We’re surrendering to our emotional seasons, turning towards our emotions, instead of shutting them down. Whether it’s a season of grief, anger, sadness, or celebration, rest in that season.

I no longer try to control, manage or suppress my hard emotions. I’m ok being messy and imperfect. I welcome the mess, knowing that the bitter cold winters usher in the intoxicating newness of spring.

REDEEMING DESTINY: Dancing Into Unexpected Truth

"Redeeming Destiny was a difficult book to write and even more difficult to send out into the world.  It highlights nearly every mistake I have ever made and there have been more than you can imagine.  I would not have written it if I didn't believe that it was going to help someone else find the healing and hope that I have discovered.  I hope this book encourages others that all of us are worthy of love, no matter what our choices have been or the choices that perhaps have been imposed upon us by others."

Four months… one thing after the next…
.
A separation, the death of a brother, and a cherry of betrayal thrown on top make for a not so pleasant cocktail of grief. 
.
This is what I’m learning through it all. 
.
One: there’s literally no way around it. Best just to accept that this is where I am. 
.
Two: only when were truly feeling into the depths of our grief are we made softer, kinder, stronger. Allow grief to wash away the ragged edges. 
.
Three: the tears you cry will create a noticeable glow. 
.
Four: and this is the most important. This time in my life has cracked wide open the very portal I needed to be opened and given me direct access to every devastating hurt  I’ve held in my body for far too long. From the tragic death of a mom as a young girl, to betrayal and abandonment. 
.
Life gives us exactly what we need when we need it and as painful as it’s been, the opportunity it’s provided me is unreal. All those deeply suppressed places are now coming to the surface and I get to transform them from the place of deep knowing, understanding, and compassion. 
.
What a fucking beautiful, wild, and sacred journey each of our lives are. 
.
Life is so worth living even in the messiest of moments. 💞💞💞

What in your life do you hold as sacred?

What in your life do you hold as sacred?
.
Our bodies may just be the most sacred place on the planet. 
.
Why?
.
Your body is the home you inhabit. The portal that connects Heaven and earth. There is no more sacred place on earth. 
.
Do you treat it as such?
.

Most health issues are nutrition related and even if they aren’t can still be healed with proper nutrition. 

Which brings me to nutritionists. Do you know how many nutritionists end up finding @healthmasteryinstitute and literally say… oh my gosh I’ve never heard of this. 😳

These are frightening truths when we place our trust into the hands of another to fix our problems. 

If only we knew that we can heal, that our bodies are so damn miraculous and designed to do just that!

We’ve been conditioned to believe that a pill or a surgery will fix us, but don’t you see that it was designed that way to keep people sick. Without sick people there’s no money to be made. 

Why is HMI different?
✅  detoxification
✅ importance of a well  taken care of liver. 
✅all the functions of the body
✅macronutrients 
✅micronutrients
✅essential vitamins and minerals
✅hormones, thyroid, adrenals
✅nutrition while pregnant
✅ nutrition from birth to old age
✅superfoods

Seriously there is nothing that I’m not learning about through this school! It’s incredible and you can trust the process and the protocols because there’s no agenda other than to empower people to thrive in life!

Releasing all the old stuff back into the arms of the divine, and setting my intention to forgive the current stuff going on.

If you’ve been wounded in any way, and all of us have it’s essential for ourselves, for our health, and for humanity that we truly dig into what forgiveness is and isn’t…

And to free ourselves

Coffee enemas… oh the dread that first comes up
Coffee enemas… oh the dread that first comes up when you tell someone they cannot juice fast without them. Non-negotiable. 

Your body flushes out so many toxins while juice fasting that if you’re not getting the toxins out they re-enter the blood stream causing even more toxicity. 

Once people do them consistently though, they are nothing short of amazed by how good they feel after. 

I also tell people all the time that the absolute best cure for a headache is a coffee enema. 

Our blood circulated through the liver 5 times in the 15 minutes of holding the coffee enema in. 

Not to mention most people are walking around with 10 to 25 pounds of compacted💩 in their large intestines!

If you do nothing else for your health start a daily practice of coffee enemas!
I swear you’ll thank me later!
