Having prolapse, as it turns out, was one of my life’s biggest blessings. How can that be? Because it made me stop and listen. It made me stop and focus on understanding what was out of alignment physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. It gave me the gift of a huge reality check. It enabled me deeper insight into who I really am and what I came here to do.
As I was rebounding this weekend, I held deep gratitude in my heart for the wake-up call my body gave me. The message it sent me to say, “hey, enough is enough”. While I can now do all of the physical things I only dreamt of during the prolapse years, I now do those physical things with an intense sense of presence and gratitude for how wise and all-knowing my body is.
If we give our body, our mind and our soul what it needs, then anything is possible. Our body IS wise beyond measure. We have simply been lied to and believed it.
What is possible for you and your body this week? Ask the question aloud and see what drops into your consciousness. But above all, work on being deeply grateful for where you’re at, with an understanding that nothing ever stays the same. Nourish yourself holistically, have patience and be the watcher of your experiences and how they affect you emotionally. Then, ask yourself what these emotions are really telling you. There is often a message – we just need to truly listen.
What is the best remedy or exercise for healing prolapse?
The healing process, by its very nature, isn’t specific to one moment, one remedy or one modality. In a dedicated holistic approach to healing, each plays its role. We don’t always need to know how it works or why it works. The key is to support the mind, body and spirit with what it is telling you it needs. Then, trust.
There are definitely beneficial supplements, modalities and habits. These are covered in Healing Prolapse: Where to Begin. And, as I say to all women, take what resonates and leave the rest. The healing process truly begins when we act on our individual needs, not when we take on a blanket approach that is advertised as a one size fits all. Healing prolapse will never be a “one size fits all”.
Why are emotions so important in the prolapse healing journey?
Emotion is ENERGY IN MOTION. To suppress what we feel is a blocking up or PUSHING DOWN of this energy. The breath, interwoven with international movement of the body, is an excellent way to put the energy of emotions in action. A stagnant body cannot release effectively. Move according to your own body’s rhythm and needs, not how you *think* you ought to move.
Most women hold onto past hurts and traumas, not realising these are impacting her physically in a very real way, showing up as symptoms. Symptoms don’t just show up out of thin air. Sometimes, oftentimes, they are the result of years of suppression and an unwillingness to look at our pain. It’s when we decide to face the traumas and move through the pain, regardless of how uncomfortable it is. That’s when we begin to experience change on every level. The physical will soon respond in a positive way.
