Your presentation of this subject is...Dear Sophie,<br /><br />Your presentation of this subject is remarkable and presents some rare insights for us to consider when in reality the body is attempting to rid itself (detox) from physical and emotional abuse. Trusting & pampering our heart & body wisdom I feel, is a wonderful way to heal.<br /><br />I have found that the majority of people look at an illness, as you describe, in the negative, as if this is a “bad” thing that is happening to them. This is more a stigma promoted in the culture and detracts from viewing the subject of what is going on with the body now, and what is it asking for.<br /><br />Over 46 years of introducing breathing and opening nature's body, quite often people will come down with an episode as you describe; fever, chills & soreness of the bones and muscles.<br /><br />This happened to me on three occasions over a 7 year period & the first time this happened Monica encouraged me to allow my body to tremble when chills hit and make the sounds I felt like making. If there are somatics that make you feel like moaning & groaning, do that. In a way feeling helpless like a child, one can be with the body and all the somatics. Knowing how to breathe the body open was a distinct advantage to riding out a ‘cold’<br /><br />This first episode lasted for 3 days & then lifted. My thoughts about this at the time were that the body was unwinding from all of the abuses it had taken in playing football, boxing and other youthful challenges that are ‘fun’ for the male animal. :)<br /><br />About three years latter the same somatics came on, almost as if some one had thrown a cloud over the body, with no forewarning. To bed and all attention went to working with this episode. This lasted for about a day and a half and lifted. The third time this occurred it just settled over the body in a flash & I thought: Oh No! I don’t have time for this. So I ran a hot bath and as I stepped into it, all of a sudden it lifted! Strange, but true. That was my 15 minute cold!<br /><br />I do feel that our body does need to detoxify every once in awhile as we are working with awareness because of all the indigestible & unnatural impressions we are heir to, as Voltaire says: in this the best of all possible worlds.<br /><br />Blessings<br /><br />Harmony.Sophie Lhostehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01457810476921074810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6592184361292658094.post-55050615374426339422009-11-07T19:45:30.469-08:002009-11-07T19:45:30.469-08:00Thank you Master of Many Things! :o)Thank you Master of Many Things! :o)Sophie Lhostehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01457810476921074810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6592184361292658094.post-53389865579319133172009-11-07T19:44:57.524-08:002009-11-07T19:44:57.524-08:00Amy, Harmon Hathaway's asked me to post below ...Amy, Harmon Hathaway's asked me to post below the comment that he emailed me.

Im going to send it to one of my dear ones, who was hit quite hard with ... something this flu season. Tho it was probably a virus, the symptoms had the same effect, turning her life inside out. Perhaps this will speak to her. I think you for your good workAmy Oscarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02743245533115702571noreply@blogger.com
