Acceptance

The topic for March is Acceptance. For me, this theme has been a prominent lesson during the last 2 weeks. A week ago, I came down with the flu and after 6 days of suffering with a sinus headache, stuffy nose, soar throat and being laid out in bed, I began to see what was really going on. I pride myself on rarely getting sick, and when I do, I "attack" it with natural remedies, healing tonics and alternative methods. However, this time, nothing was working. Finally, I decided to seek help from Craig Malecker, a friend and healer with whom I have worked with when I have needed a shift my energetic state of being. Craig is gifted in cranial sacral energy work and Deeksha. On my way down to Salt Lake City to see him, I was listening to Eckhart Tole's audio book called A New Earth when it dawned on me that I had been resisting being sick from the moment I got the first symptom. In my language, I would share with friends that I am "battling" the flu as if I was fighting against the very state of being that had consumed me. I did not want to be sick. I did not like being sick. I did not know how to be sick. So, it was in that moment that I realized I needed to completely surrender to being sick. I needed to fully accept my state of being for what it was. And, it was at that moment that I began to heal. This realization was set into the memory of my cells as Craig began to shift the energy and move the blocks that were in the feet and head. I felt opened, grounded and clear after working with him. I was no longer resisting what my body was trying to tell me, I was now listening, and I could see that it needed rest, it needed love, it needed attention. For me, this type of acceptance to what is, allows me to surrender to BEING rather than doing. It is this type of acceptance that radically shifted my state of health and I am so grateful for this gift.

What can you fully accept about yourself and others that will radically shift your state of being?
