Unexpressed emotions can manifest as physical illness/dis-ease…
Unexpressed emotions, and unresolved trauma and hurtful experiences from the past can and often do manifest physically if they’re not dealt with…

This is your body communicating with you and the longer you don’t listen the louder the body becomes.
I believe my experience that I shared in my previous post was exactly this… My body communicating with me.
Too often we get caught up in the symptoms we are experiencing and focus on trying to “heal” or get rid of those symptoms
Rather than looking deeper at the root.
What is actually causing the symptoms?
When you get to the root, you heal the core wound and the symptoms dissipate for good.
If you’re looking for a quick fix or a bandaid, the body will just find another way to communicate with you.
Or you may find that you stop all communication and become even more disconnected from yourself causing more issues and a greater impact on your body, mind and spirit, this will affect your quality of life and your relationships.
We are in an era where people are constantly seeking the quick fix, the magic pill, a dopamine rush, instant gratification, an authority figure to “fix” or “heal” them…
We have become increasingly impatient and lacking in curiosity and openness, lacking in self-responsibility, and giving our power away
Unwilling to do the work because it takes time, and we don’t like that.
But the cost of not doing the work is far greater and you’re actually just prolonging the inevitable anyway.
What if on the other side of doing this work was the life and relationships you MOST desire, and that you have been DREAMING of?
What if it’s beyond your wildest dreams?
Sometimes I can feel a bit self-centred because I LOVE doing the work for myself, I love making the connections, understanding myself and my life, what happened and what I learned, what I got from each experience… This work is a priority for me, it’s essential.
I am constantly looking for ways to ALCHEMISE my past and bring my dreams into reality, I LOVE this work.
But sometimes I really don’t love it. Sometimes it hurts, it can be excruciating
Especially when you’re in a process and there is no timer telling you when you’re done.
It’s not like pressing play on a 20 minute meditation that you know when it will be over.
You have to trust, surrender and ride that wave, knowing that you will come out the other side.
Journeying into the unknown can be scary and I have so much compassion and awe for those who do this work.
I acknowledge you, I honour you, I thank you.
This work impacts all of us and I thank you with all my heart.
So whilst I do this work for me, I also do it for you. I do it for my family, I do it for those who can’t or weren’t able in their lifetime, I do it for the next generation, I do it for the collective.
Just know that if you are afraid, or if you are caught up in looking for the quick fix, there’s nothing wrong with that, there’s nothing wrong with you.
It’s natural to want to get out of the pain as fast as possible and to the destination you most desire.
But what you don’t realise is that there is so much GOLD to receive on the journey and even more on the detours.
And even more when you surrender to the unknown, the unexpected and get MASSIVELY curious.
I’ve seen it. I’ve experienced it. And I guide my clients and students through it.
When we do this journey with others, it is so much easier, smoother and much more enjoyable.
My recommendation is to get a mentor, find your tribe and surround yourself with people you resonate with, that are on a similar journey.
Do not try to go this journey alone like I did for so many years, this only causes more pain, separation and loneliness.
When we’re alone it’s very easy to get caught up in those stories that keep you stuck in the past.
Get the support that you need.
Find your mentor/coach
Find your tribe
Trust the process.
So much love to you
❤️
