Happy Monday! After our chats, connection became my word of the week and I ended up seeing it come up in various other writings, conversations and messages.
Last week’s energy was low, although it was hard to wake up this morning I feel like my energy is on its way up! I’m waking up without a bad head this week, a good start 💪🏽 But after my therapy session this morning I can feel the effect of the emotions in my body and I have a clenched jaw. So inspired by your sauna-ing I’ll be heading there shortly.
Love that you had a word of the week! Last week was def a heavy week energetically….glad it’s giving you the nod that’s it’s on its way back up for you. I’ll have to show you my shaky shaky exercise that’ll help shift the energies of your therapy session. Ideal for doing whilst the kettle is on!
Oh yes please! Sounds like it might be like my shake it out exercise I do with my hyper kids to release some of that pent up energy, I chose to sing either shake it like a Polaroid picture or a kids song which goes ‘shake shake shake it out’ with a very addictive tune.
Amber! I'm so tickled to have been included here and for us to have found each other! I am actually doing a roundup post for next weekend and there have been so many awesome chronic illness/health related posts by amazing women this week - I'm going to include yours too 🤗
I am kind of amazed that you do aesthetics and body work. I think about how much TALKING both my hairdresser and my massage therapist have to do all day, and the thought of it just exhausts me. It's great though when you make a genuine connection with folks. I loved reading the winding journey of your week here.
I take a weekly yoga class that is taught by a fellow spoonie, geared specifically toward folx with ME/CFS and similar illnesses. In the "before times," I had always kind of rejected yoga as not enough exercise for me, but now I see it in a whole different light. And no, it's definitely not curative for me either, but a tool in my biohack belt, so to speak.
Speaking of biohacking, I bought a red/near-infrared light therapy box and I've been using it for a few weeks now. It's supposed to help repair and rebuild mitochondria. So far, it actually healed this skin thing on my chest that's been there for months, so hopefully it's doing similar things on my insides, LOL.
Awwww thank you so much Amy ! 🙏🩵 I have literally been buzzing since our first messages on Friday ☺️ I may take inspiration from your post then because I could really do with cheerleading on my new tribe of warriors on here.
Retraining to help others to help myself was one of my biohacks! I’ve been completely on my own financially through this whole ordeal so I had to work to keep a roof over my head. I only see a very small number of clients in a week (my treatments are to an exceptionally high standard and centre around healing) so I’ve had to make some big business changes and no longer offer beauty as a stand-alone service (outside existing clients). Freeing up space to build on the healing/retreats/new online offering side.
I love that your class is specifically for chronic illness warriors. I was the same re exercise! It either had to be high impact or it wasn’t worth bothering. I got a shock when any form of exercise at all triggered attack in 2018 and I was left with no other option than yoga. Yoga is healing, turns out that’s what I needed.
I love an infrared light! My healing coach has one and I used to meditate with it when I saw him in person. Now I get access to this one in the sauna. I’m so happy to hear its healed your skin! I haven’t done any research on it but I trust my healing coach and boyf who both have.
Here’s to a healthy, whole week ahead got both of us xxxx
Strong post! So many threads to follow... I wonder if you could remind us of the questions you’ve gently posed to us throughout at the end? I sometimes find it hard to hold one and then come to comment and I’ve hit overwhelm... ✨🙏 thanks so much for sharing your words and your story! ✨🌸✨🌀⭕️
This is great feedback, thank you. I’ve been thinking about doing this for a while (as inspired by others and also as a section I need to refer to myself when commenting for the same reasons!). Reckon I’m there now with having the energy to expand on this weekly share now I’ve finally got the hang of setting it all out as well. All being well, I can add that in and start next week 🤩🙏✨

Love it! Might brave it up to do a video and send you it!
Yes please 🙏
