Last week we took a dive into our early emotional landscape, the mind-body connections and the medical roots of migraine.
Bridging it all together and taking our attention to a language that is often quietly spoken underneath the experience of symptoms and diagnoses.
At the end of last week’s chapter reading, we reached the end of the eleven patterns that commonly appear across chronic conditions.
I start this second half with revisiting each one.
Introducing The Inner Tree so that we can better understand and appreciate what is so complex and misunderstood.
Finishing with the gentle invitation that accompanies each chapter (of Pathway One: Awakening Through Struggle).
To add to the question “what signals or messages from my body might I have been overlooking?”
are the following prompts and space to pause that I missed off in the recording🙃:
What might your body be asking for, quietly, beneath the noise?
There is no need to answer. Only to listen.
Pause Before You Go On
Place a hand on the part of you that feels most tired.
Feel the warmth of your palm.
Feel the weight of your body being supported.
Let that part of you know you are listening.
Nothing needs to change yet.
Take a slow, full breath.
Let it move all the way down into your belly.
Let your shoulders soften as you exhale.
When you are ready, the next chapter will guide you deeper into understanding the patterns that grew from these roots, and how your nervous system learned to carry them.
For now, rest here.
You have done enough.
