Reasons to get sick
No, not viruses, neither bacteria
Let’s get it straight from the beginning: there are viruses that makes us sick, as well as bacteria. I know that. I am enough of a biologist to be aware about this.
But! And this is a very big BUT: these are not the only reasons to get sick.
The reasons I personally get sick are various, sometimes a combination of many, and very different symptoms occur too.
I have collected many datapoints, aka. being “sick” and mostly actually not being sick and connecting the dots why that is the case.
And generally speaking, I don’t like to say “I am sick”, neither do I like to take any pills, unless extraordinary circumstances occur. I like to give my body the opportunity to go through whatever it goes through & become stronger.
And no, I don’t think everyone should do what I do, neither do I think that what I observed on me, happens to everyone else. But it does happen to some others too.
Before I dive deeper into all of it, a more long-term thought I have: I am convinced that many diseases we get as humans start very early, because we disregard our mental, emotional and spiritual well-being, causing us to develop physical sicknesses.
Anyways, back on track again, why I get sick (maybe you too ;)?):
temporary, bad sleep habits. 2-3 nights can cause me to develop a cold-sore
—> this is my bodies No. 1 sign to tell me to pay attention to my life.
sudden stress or extreme light-exposure: same here, hello cold-sore.
too much unfulfilling or uninspiring work aka. 2-3 hour meetings several days in a row, where my thinking capacity is knocked out cos my brain gets fried
changes on the planet we live on, either planet earth or human collective stresses we are going through
—> I mean magnetic field changes, solar storms, fullmoon/newmoon (?) not completely sure yet about that one), wars, catastrophes etc.
healing sessions I go though & my body needs to release what got uncovered and reorganize itself
—> usually emotional and subconscious pain has been revealed, I cried, something shifted inside of me, some trauma got released, beliefs got loosened, etc…
There we go. I said it, wrote it out-loud.
I guess the last two, No. 4 & 5 might be the most woo-woo to read. Not really for me, cos as I said before: I collected enough datapoints in my life to confirm that this is the case for me. I am scientist enough to trust these data AND my intuition AND my body.
I already have a post in mind where I will explain why the earths magnetic field has effects on us human beings! I will share the science, so that its actually understandable, in a fun & visual way! Stay tuned ;)
But let’s start with the first two reasons I mentioned, they are the easiest to fix:
What will fix issues No. 1 & 2: a proper sleep schedule, reducing sudden stressors, slow exposure to sun, stop doing what I was excessively doing, AND the magical salve I discovered years ago on a Christmas market.
I swear to whatever is holy for you who have cold sores: this is the only thing that works to make them heal & disappear within 5-7 days. Before I discovered it, it took weeks. For me & many of my family members.
With this salve: cold sores even get stopped almost immediately. If you want to know where to get it, let me know! Its a local lady here in the north of Sweden who makes them herself! It would surely make her happy to ship it to other countries than Sweden, Germany and Poland :D (oh, no paid advertisement btw :D, just genuine admiration for this miracle salve!)
Now off to point of sickness No. 3, unfulfilling work tasks or meetings: this is usually not something that happens often, because I actively choose my professions and I do not work 8 hours per day. Ever. I am convinced it’s impossible. And I can manage the same amount of work, in a more healthy way, in fewer time. I am efficient enough.
So when it happens & I have too many meetings, or projects & workload at the same time, I get overwhelmed, my system can’t handle it, I get stressed, my brain shuts down, I get headaches & I get a cold. Boom, there we go. Then its about time to employ all the home remedies I have, take hot baths, sweat it out, snot it out, cream my rudy-nose & recover slowly..
Wha talso helps me when I start noticing it, is to take a break and paint. This always relieved pressure fro mmy brai nand mind & I can relax again.
Let’s get going to point No. 4 I made, where sickness caused by earth/planetary changes occurs. This is usually something that comes in combination and also something I cannot do much about. I need to just deal with the consequences.
They can be headaches, dizziness and such, but usually they are not very strong and only when it is very bad. So I can handle them quite well. Painting & taking my day easy helps :)
Healing session is where I am properly getting knocked out quite often, the infamous last Point No. 5, the most controversial, but most logical, in my experience at least :D
I don’t even know how to properly describe it to you, how to start…
I could go about it logically, scientifically, psychologically, physically, emotionally, throw stuffs at you like emotional stress that gets stuck in our bodies, organs, postures, fascia; memories and thoughts that create our habits & behavioral patterns and make us miserable; years of relational issues we have around trust, opening up, being disregarded etc…
Simply put: everything we experience in our lifes has an impact on us. And depending on how we learn how to handle it, or not, THAT has a big impact on us and our health too.
Oh, and then lets not forget our innate protection mechanisms and our Egos which really want to help us to not get hurt again: they can be sneaky to overcome.
Oh wait! I also forgot societal conditioning! What we are made to believe, do, act, react and be, taught from our surrounding… if you convince a fish it needs to be able to fly, it will be miserable it’s whole life & never see the amazingness of swimming in the water (or something along those lines… I can’t recall sayings very well :D)
HA! And then we have genetics, more specifically: epigenetics and all that we get encoded into our genome, metabolome, transcriptome etc. from our ancestors: it sits inside of us!
Now… Did I make it all more clear? Why healing sessions can cause me, or us, to get sick? At least at first they can make us sick, cos after a while we usually get better.
I mean, on a smaller scale: I bet we all experienced that a good cry made us feel miserable first, but relieved later on. It’s the same with healing session, just on a bigger scale.
Now expand on that & imagine: if you were never allowed to cry & show weakness, your whole life, 30, 40, 50 years: what do you think those bottled up emotions will do to you? Make you feel great? Happy? Sickness free? Noooo… they will stay stuck in your body, one way or another and sooner or later manifest into more serious sicknesses…
Buuuttt, if we get ahold of them, either early or later in any type of healing session, they might get released and our body will not develop a certain sickness.
I have tried many different healing modalities, many different spiritual approaches, breathing, I meditate daily, talk to the universe, myself, my body & my soul and all these things make me feel better.
I recently did a Hakomi healing session with my trusted teacher Elizabeth, it was in the weak I experienced stress at work. I strated to feel weaker already.
Then the session was quite intense, lots came up, lots of feelings, tears and releases occured & then my body basically broke down & had to clear out all the “trash” I managed to discover and release. I basically got a cold, a snotty nose and was weak for a couple of days.
When I told a friend of mine who has kids, she funnily said: “Oh, but where could you get sick from?”, cos I work from home mainly, I go to dance quite regularly, bu tits grown ups & with kids its a different story.
Anyways, as I made the point in the beginning: its not just bacteria or viruses that make us sick, or specifically: me :)
This was something I felt a strong urge to write about, because a lot of little puzzlepieces and conversations around sickness have accumulated recently & I am also reading/listening to different audiobooks of experts on past life regressions and hypnotherapy. There are brilliant modalities out there to help us to get ahold of all types of soul-work we can do and illnesses of our soul & subconscious mind.
And I don’t care about anyone saying these things are woo-woo or not scientific. Cos in my world that is a wrong statement. If peoples symptoms dissapear after certain sessions, while they have never been able to be healed by the conventional medical system, those are scientific datapoints and valid outcomes.
I mean, we just have to look into the placebo effect & just open our minds a bit to other ways of seeing, feeling and thinking and BOOM! We can fix a lot that is thought to be un-fixable ;)
I would love to hear from your experiences around this topic. It’s something I always loved to hear and read about and the more experiential knowledge I accumulate and the more I hear from people, the more optimistic I am becoming about how amazing and capable we human beings are! Its fascinating!
Love,
Daria
