Hello Friend,
I was talking to a community of breast cancer patients, survivors, and thrivers (which I find is such a fantastic word!) a couple of nights ago, and I was thrilled to see that they were open to the concept that illness is not necessarily the result of the whims of destiny, and health is not necessarily the result of surgery and drugs.
When we learn which things influence our health the most, we realise how much control we actually have over it, and this awareness significantly reduces our fear and anxiety around being, and becoming, ill.
And the fact that we become less fearful is, in itself, a real step away from illness, and towards health!
You know how I want people to remember what powerful beings they are. Our beliefs around health will always largely determine how much power we perceive we have, overall.
I talk more about all of that in this article that I wrote years ago: Taking our health into our own hands.
This is a foundational topic for me, one I’ve always woven into my coaching, even when I was working with classical singers exclusively. This is a notion I want every human being on the planet to be acquainted with.
Health has a certain wave length, illness has a different wave length, and what we need to do in order to stay – or become once again – healthy is, we need to keep – or shift – our overall wave length far away from the one of illness.
And we need to do that in the three realms of
💎 the body (our environment, nutrition, breathing, water, sunlight, grounding…)
💎 the mind (what we read, hear, watch, think, believe, say…)
💎 the emotions (how we feel, because this tells us if we’re pleasing the soul or not)
Those ladies asked me if I believe that health is related to our overall sense of fulfilment. I told them that I know this to be so.
Here are a few questions that can help us gauge what our overall sense of fulfilment is like:
- Would you still do your job if money weren’t an issue?
- Do you wake up happy on a normal working day?
- Do your rhythms feel like your own? Or are you always struggling with time?
- Are the people closest to you the ones you would choose again, every day?
- Does your home feel like your temple?
- Are you proud of who you are when no one’s watching?
External success can look like happiness, but only internal alignment feels like happiness.
Your lifestyle or your relationships might be highly instagrammable, but still feel completely hollow. They won’t mean a thing, if they don’t feel like you.
But then the prospect of changing those empty but familiar things often feels overwhelming, and the mind might be going “Well, this life kinda works. Why stir things up?”
Because for the soul, ‘kinda works’ isn’t good enough.
The mind might be scared of the change, but the soul always holds that absolute clarity that will safely and joyfully guide us through anything — if we let it!
Ignoring our truth means wiping out our joy and opening the doors to all sorts of sad things, including illness.
I want you to be joyful, healthy, and fulfilled, no matter what your story has been so far. Let this very moment be the first moment of your new story ❤️
