For many years, my awareness of what was going on in my body was shut down.

There are other things I want to be doing and just don't have the energy to do them right now.

If you remember my story "The Hunt" I lost my dinner when the drinking started and I was not safe!

There were times I would burst into tears like you described at your chiropractic appointment. Also during my therapy I would say out loud, "I give my body permission to release the _______ (feelings of nausea). I am now safe from all past hurts." <br /><br />I truly hope it also helps you. You are embarking on a huge step in your healing.

Yes, I believe my writing is also helping me. I hope you are right about the physical symptoms stopping soon. I was talking with a friend earlier and have decided to try Cranio-Sacral Chiropractic sessions to help with releasing the body memories. Someone told me that would help. We will see.Patricia Singletonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14114250171020836470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7679672539901170150.post-74557070075198653352010-06-11T19:19:23.123-05:002010-06-11T19:19:23.123-05:00Dear Patricia,

I have never been through anything like what you're describing, but I do feel the writing out of your experiences really helping you. I believe it's also releasing a lot of toxicity into your body and causing your physical symptoms. Hopefully, once all the toxic memories are released you'll also be free of the physical symptoms.<br /><br />Blessings to you.Angela Artemishttp://www.mysticmusingsandmeditations.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7679672539901170150.post-41107205095052548902010-06-11T12:37:26.794-05:002010-06-11T12:37:26.794-05:00Katie, thank you.

I remember a chiropractic appointment about 20 years ago and release feelings in me like you describe with the massage therapist. I cried nonstop for over an hour. I have a friend who is a massage therapist who is asking around to see if I can find a massage therapist here who does body work.

YOu are working through the hardest part right now, and sharing it may be helping someone else get the courage to face their demons. <br /><br />You are so right about body memories. I'm just starting to get in touch with my body, with the sensations I have ignored or dissociated away. It's not easy. the massages I've had have been helpful... not I'm working with someone who does "heartwork" and hypnoses. we are going to do a Soul Retrieval next week, which should be helpful in finding my way back to me. <br /><br />take it slow... and hold that child tight.Shenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16635993168913490929noreply@blogger.com
