Understanding the MindBody Connection - Sore Throat
My Journey to Healing
Throughout my life I have had many diagnosable illnesses and many undiagnosable illnesses.
I had many sore throats wherein the medical profession decided that removing my tonsils would be the cure. It wasn’t. I believe that tonsils are a very important part of our anatomy; a barrier for keeping dis-eases from entering our inner body. Tonsils are virus/bacteria protectors.
I continued to have sore throats and strep throat. So what was it?
Sore Throat
Probable Cause – Fear. Repressed emotions. Stifled creativity. Holding in angry words. Feeling unable to express the self.
Interesting! I always felt frustrated because I had to hold in my words and feelings. Although at the time I didn’t realize that it was my feelings I wasn’t speaking. As a child, I was never taught about feelings. So when they came up I was afraid of them and didn’t know how to articulate what I was feeling. I used to do this to my daughter. I now know that was a family pattern. Today my daughter feels safe enough to say; “I am a feeling person”. When I first heard those words, my heart felt gratitude for the person she recognized in herself.
New Thought Pattern – Divine ideas express through me. I release all restriction and I am free to be me.
Once I decided to embrace me I found the freedom to express my ideas. When I write and speak the Divine guides me and I allow those words to flow. Sometimes the words I speak and write surprise even me!
When I do feel the sensation of a sore throat, I connect to it and ask; “What emotion is causing this sensation?“ When I have received the message, I acknowledge the emotion. It may be that I need to forgive others, myself, or I may need to write about it and create affirmations.
