From time to time, I am politely reminded by the universe that I am on this Earth for Spiritual growth. The universe sends me sweet nudges to get me back on my path, such as me turning on the television and a show is on (most likely by Wayne Dyer) and the message is exactly what I need to hear. Or, my sister, without even knowing she did this, reminded me that we are all human when I was relaying a situation where I was disgruntled with a friend’s boyfriend for picking apart a mutually shared favorite movie.
Yes, I am being nudged back onto my path, willingly. Today was yet another such opportunity for enlightenment. I have been experiencing headaches and severe shoulder and neck stiffness, even with massage, my symptoms keep reappearing. I awoke with a severe migraine this morning. I forced myself to get up and go to work, convinced that a chiropractic adjustment would help (which it did lighten the headache pain temporarily). Two adjustments and 1000 mg of Tylenol later, I threw in the towel and went home.
In the quiet space of my home, I could feel something tugging at me. It’s that gut feeling you get which we all ignore most of the time, especially when life is chaotic. But I’ve come to realize that the tugging is my spiritual soundboard letting me know I’m out of sync. And through experience, my headaches and migraines are a result of me ignoring that soundboard.
So the question remained, what is out of sync? What am I bottling up or putting off dealing with? Or even, is something bothering me subconsciously that I haven’t wanted to deal with consciously yet? This, admittedly, is the case more often then not.
After my migraine nap with ice packs, I picked up a book that the universe nudged me to read, “Wishes Fulfilled” by Dr. Wayne Dyer. Inexplicably, every time I pick up one of his books, what I read is exactly what I need to hear at that moment in time. In the Introduction, Wayne
After reading that segment, I set the book down. With the help of my loyal lap cat, Angel, I did a white light healing meditation in which I repeated and let the feeling live throughout my body: “I am headache free”. Ten minutes later, I felt grounded and balanced and realized that I was being nudged to write out my feelings.
And so here I am, writing (and headache free mind you). I am awed at the symmetry of my life and my relationship with the universe at large. As a massage therapist, I help people get back to great health. But sometimes you see someone, two-three- or even ten times and they still have the same complaint as when they came in the first time. After their sessions, they feel great, but within an hour or two their symptoms reappear (sound familiar to how I started this article?). What I realize is happening, as I realized within myself today, that we all have the power to heal ourselves from the inside out. We have to believe that we can heal ourselves first, which is more difficult for some then we can imagine.
If your reading this, this is my way to express that this symmetry and enlightenment is available to everyone (and its not as scary as some may think, its actually helpful!)
Keep an open mind and a watchful eye and you will see the clues the universe has left lovingly for you. Follow them and you will not be disappointed at the enlightenment you will experience.
