This entry was inspired during my morning exercise now that I finally returned to the gym after nearly 10 months away! I'm going to write about my newest health challenges and my perceptions about exercise. May this entry help those wherever they are and whenever they are as a tool for synchronicity.
Quick backstory. I was obese in childhood and early teenage years. Then I linked up with an Exercise Physiologist when I was 15 which taught me so much about health, diet, exercise...which led me to lose a great deal of fat while building muscle. Then...at college...gained it all back due to many reasons. I discussed this on my chat with Niish at The Cosmic Salon and I have wrote other entries about my college days and succumbing to substance abuse and what have you.
So! After college, I invigorated my being with what I learned while a teenager and lost everything I gained while in madness during my monster-college-years. I definitely was enveloped by the Barbie & Ken Doll Syndrome, but I then grew out of that.
Then! May 2024...I had a lower abdominal injury which was due to not stretching enough, too much elliptical work outs, and too much of an increase. So I was on the couch pretty much from Mother's Day 2024 until today! CRAZY.
A Healthy Exercise Routine is crucial for our wellbeing - the Emotional, Mental, Spiritual, & Physical Bodies. Natural anti-depressants. Grounding our Spiritual Energies into our Physical Bodies. Helps us to flush out garbage by stimulating our circulation. Puts our body in a state where our Minds can wonder and receive Breadcrumbs from Higher Mind.
It was a great challenge having to sit on my couch...it really triggered a lot for me! It forced me to self-reflect. It forced me to examine. It forced me to reconcile perceptions, actions, desires, and intentions.
I am not one to really try to look for the "reasons why something happens" since there are so many influences and causes and what have you...I come from the stance of that we can Adapt and Modify to anything - Alchemy.
Now! Let us fast forward to November 4, 2024. My love and I's 5 year anniversary. Long story short. I had to go to the urgent care because it felt like I broke my left foot. It felt like a nasty demon was poking my big toe with hot needles! It felt like a sledgehammer kept hammering away at my foot! Well...the PA at the urgent care said it was Gout.
Gout? You're kidding me?
I was forced to face all the stereotypes and perceptions I had surrounding Gout. I remember one time I was reading a client and I was drawn to her husband and I heard the word "Gout" which she confirmed that her husband had. That really was my first exposure to that in recent years and I assumed that it was due to everything you hear about - the stereotypes and the stigma.
I don't drink alchohol and I eat a pretty clean diet besides some ice cream for a treat on a few nights a week and weekly takeout after piano lessons. Literally, I do not drink alcohol. I hate the feelings of it! I'll write a post about that eventually.
So! It is a genetic thing. I learned a lot about Gout and I had no idea about the great damage that it can cause to my joints if left untreated!
This diagnosis forced me to also reflect a lot on my perceptions and thought constructs once again. Obviously, I am a psychic medium so my skills and work are outside of "consensus reality" and this does lead me to engage in other viewpoints and aspects of reality especially with "alternative" information. I've experienced medical intuition during readings for some clients so I know there are a lot of what constitutes our physical health.
You read books and listen to lectures from "thought leaders" and I am interested in epigenetics. You hear stories of people and then you look throughout YouTube and you are fed a lot of what I know feel like is filth. People presenting a Costume so it is very hard to find a broadcaster who is mature, knowledgable, humble, wise, and willing to grow.
So a diagnosis. A label. Then what to treat? How to treat?
I never want to experience that flare up again like I did on 11/4/24. That was excruciating and I wouldn't want my worst enemy to feel that way! Horrible!
I really had to come to terms with what is happening now.
I've read many people who are facing health challenges. I read many people who's loved ones on Earth are facing health challenges and those who are in Spirit who left physicality due to health challenges. This is the first time something has happened to me.
Now! Also, my mother passed away when I was 13 from a massive heart attack. I am setting myself up to examine my own heart so I don't want to ignore this reality for me due to my family history.
Western Medicine. Holisitc Medicine. Naturopathy. There's so much.
I do admit that I was very distrusting and even fearful of western medicine practitioners during the last five years because I did not want to receive any of the offered treatments given to the population. That was a mind fuck to experience. It is my body and it is my choice concerning what I choose to put into my body.
Thankfully, I was led to western medicine practitioners who opened my mind and did not judge me for deciding not to take XYZ. I learned a lot about western medicine practitioners through my practice and I've read a handful of physicians.
Life is complex.
I'm not a Black or White Thinker. I'm also not want to just Assume I know everything. I also don't just automatically take on the opinions of those I find on the internet.
A personal journey. Believe you me, I am open to alternative theories and practicies, but to find a credible, wise, mature practitioner of an alternative practice is difficult just like in psychic work. For every 100 psychics...there's like 5 who are actually of the craft.
Anyhow! I wrote this entry to share my journey and that we all are on our own path. It is important to find our ability to be centered and to remember and to trust that we can Adapt and Modify to whatever we experience in this Jungle of Life on Earth.
