Is Your Illness The Teacher for Your Healing?

Are those pesky symptoms that you shut off really there to get you into better alignment with yourself and the answers to your healing? I struggled with mental health stuff on and off throughout my early 20's - for me, illness was depression, anxiety, and SI. As I got into further alignment with myself physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually - those heavy symptoms disappeared. For you it may not be mental health but hormone imbalance, heavy periods, autoimmune flares, gut dysbiosis, etc. whatever it is - is it your teacher? Are those physical manifestations asking you to go deeper? Are they coming up because you are out of alignment? Can you become your own best student and listen deeply to bring healing to yourself? Wishing you healing vibes always XO Hannah
