I pray that you are in a warm and safe space and you feel truly loved. Not necessarily by others (thought that’s nice too), but by YOURSELF. Loving yourself brings a peace that cannot be accessed any other way.

As we turn the corner this upcoming week into November, it’s always a good time to reflect on what areas of your life you’re looking to transform. Since November is my birthday month, I tend to analyze the entire last year and FIND ways to celebrate my progress. Some years I perceive there to be a lot, some years I only see a little. Every year, I remind myself that it’s hard to see the forest when you’re right next to the trees. The view from a helicopter may just be quite different.

There’s ALWAYS gratitude for still being in the land of the living.

Today, I want to remind us (me included) that true strength is in FEELING. As human’s I think we want to “escape ” feeling, whether it be with recreational drugs/alcohol, binge watching movies or social media, eating etc. When we hear about “surrender” it can seem like giving up, relinquishing something or quitting..but in reality, surrendering when it comes to emotions means that we ALLOW ourselves to feel. Whatever those feelings are.

Sometimes the feelings are branches of fear: shame, guilt, depression, regret, inadequacy etc. Sometimes the feelings are extensions of love: excitement, gratitude, satisfaction, curiosity. Either way, I think we can all agree that our emotional state changes rather frequently, sometimes in the same day, or hour!

Feelings come and go, “escaping” from them only traps and forces them to find a different way to express themselves. Sometimes they express themselves in an overwhelming apathetic feel about life, sometimes we entertain toxic relational dynamics as a result and sometimes we develop ailments and dis-ease in our body because we refuse to just SURRENDER and allow ourselves to feel the initial uncomfortable emotion.

Louise Hay’s was a prolific author and self-help pioneer who wrote a book entitled “You Can Heal Your Life” in the 80’s and later wrong “Heal Your Body”. Her work was strongly predicated on the understanding that the inner emotional state has a direct correlation with the health and circumstances one experiences.

​Check out her list of Causes of Symptoms here. ​

What I realized in my own life (and MANY of my clients) is that steaming is one of a few things that you can do “externally”, which allows you to access (and process!!!!) your internal emotions. There’s something about the act of surrendering to the steam, the herbs, the intention of the practice, that creates “perfect storm” of emotional/trauma release and healing.

I invite you to surrender to yourself and allow all of your suppressed and unprocessed emotions and trauma to lovingly leave your heart. You may just find that some of your dis-ease goes with it.

Wishing you lots of peace, prosperity and joy.

With So Much Love,

Meg
