Welcome back around the fire where today I’m modeling showing up as I am, fresh from being sick and the rawness of landing back in the United States.
It’s a pretty common phenomenon to get sick after a really expansive time. And while there are plenty of physical, immune system reasons for this, there is also an energetic and spiritual component, going often unrecognized.
This component, when tended to, can help us integrate and metabolize our peak experience in powerful ways. It may even help us plan for our integration periods in ways that minimize our body’s need to get sick and shut down.
So gather with me around our virtual (and germ-free!) fire while I share my thoughts and experiences with why the sickness happens (energetically and spiritually) and how we can work with it.
Plus:
… and more.
Jokes on me for thinking this would be a short little episode… I have a LOT to say on the subject (and find my mind still circling hours later: “..and another thing!”).
But stay with me through my rough voice, a coughing fit or two, and you may hear something to support you after your next peak experience.
Have you experienced being sick this way before? I’d love to hear.
P.S.
The people credited with authoring the piece where I first read about “safe vs brave spaces” are: Brian Arao and Kristi Clemens.
