Her soul made its sadness known by "crying" out through her bladder


So many times I have written "your body is trying to get your attention" when trying to illustrate that someone's physical symptom or sensation is not coincidental.

It's not a random out-of-the-blue occurrence when X person develops Y condition.

I'm not saying we consciously make things happen to ourselves.

I'm not saying it's someone's fault when they get sick.

And I'm not saying that illness persists because you're weak in some way.

What I am saying is that the body responds.

The body changes it's structure or function as a result of inputs outside of itself.

The body is the physical manifestation of what happens in the non-physical world that surrounds and infuses each of us.

Matter follows energy.

This is science.

The energy comes first and then it "densifies" into something we recognize as existing in the real world, the physical.

Those energy realms are known as our thoughts, emotions, beliefs, and awareness.

From that complex soup are drawn the elements that make up our physical bodies.

So it's not usually this simple: that X person gets Y disease because of Z thought process.

But it IS true that beliefs P, Q, R, S, and T combine with emotions M, N, and O and develop into symptoms A, B, and C in person X.

My point? Our bodies are merely expressing variables from all the workings higher up the ladder.

We can't always identify exactly what's causing what, nor maybe do we need to.

But we can tune in and give our bodies the benefit of the doubt and ask: what message is it trying to bring forth?

If this pain or that imbalance or this lab result or that annoying rash were a signal coming from deep within, what might change if I welcomed it to be here as I learned to listen instead of endlessly trying to make it go away?

That is what Marge began doing with her leaking bladder that had her running to the bathroom non-stop some days.

This is the story of how she came to understand what her body had been trying to tell her for years and years:

Does your body speak to you in the language of symptoms? Stuff you haven't really been wanting to hear? Or maybe this is the first time you've heard this connection being made between your thoughts and your body's symptoms and now you have questions.

I'm here for you when it feels like the time to start addressing things from this angle.

This is the work that I do.

And like Marge, you too may find a way to become your own healer by getting real with what's inside of you.

You'll know when it's time to begin.

Warmly,

Julie

Pinpointed awareness, a broader consciousness, and fully accepting absolutely everything about yourself are the core of what’s needed for meaningful change and true healing.

When you feel you’ve tried everything else and still the pattern persists, it’s time to get super present in your body and open to your higher self to bring in an intelligence and loving presence that far excedes anything that your mind is ever going to construct and lead you to.

Awake Woman with Julie

I'm a mind/body healing practitioner, consciousness educator, and inspired coach. I write about how awareness of your mindset and emotional state impacts your health and vitality. I believe that the “New Medicine” that awakened humans have already begun moving toward is based in the wisdom of nature, the power of self-healing, and the resonance of energy medicine. Your light shines brightest when you are strong, healthy, and free in body, mind, and spirit. Additionally, in my healing practice, I assist women in their mid-life transition, who have put themselves last for far too long, awaken to their most potent true Self by bringing awareness to their body with intention & listening presence. I invite you to follow along by subscribing or checking out some of my services and products. Thank you!

Julie and Aarti Soorya Discuss the power of Yoga Nidra

Yoga nidra is so cool! It’s like the ultimate healing method for those of us who are tired of doing & trying stuff. But we know we need attention. We know our bodies are loudly demanding that something’s gotta give. Sometimes healing or becoming healthy feels like so much effort. Maybe yoga nidra is the answer to the lazy woman’s prayers! ha-ha I sat down with my friend and colleague, Dr. Aarti Soorya, to discuss healing, yoga nidra, the nervous system, and conscious awareness - the ven...

Dear Reader, A big realization that I've had recently is that if I want you to hear, resonate with, and join me in doing this deep work of awakening to your true self, then I have to be doing the exact same work simultaneously. Not similar, parallel work. The EXACT same. Because the clearest way to guide you into the moment when you're face-to-face with that thing that you feel when you're yearning for meaningful change, is to do it in my system first. As my body experiences what it's like to...

Two energy fields resonating

Good morning Reader, In what way will you allow light into your system today? Maybe literally by sitting outside for sunset, or taking a walk during the brightest part of the day? Or symbolically, by closing your eyes and envisioning light pouring over you from somewhere far above... Or relationally, by looking into someone's eyes, both of you smiling, sharing your souls' light... Or maybe today it's finding a simple way to let yourself know that you love yourself. Go ahead, it's OK. For a...
