Many of us are gripped with fear when we or a loved one receive a scary health report. Even for those building his or her personal power, this kind of news can rock our world, triggering strong emotional response.
Let’s read about how one woman returned to balance and the wherewithal to carry on.
Help to Shift
Linda reacted to a health report from her husband’s test: he required an investigative procedure regarding the screening of a stool sample. She felt terrified.
As she thought it over in her emotional state, Linda realized that she followed many natural health practices. Her husband did not. But she had influenced him to be less attentive to regular screenings. Gary listened to his wife’s thoughts and then used his own judgment.
Linda went to consult with Wise Counsel as she recognized she was panicking.
L: “It’s my fault. I thought Gary could get the screening test every three years. Now we see that if it had been annually this abnormal cell discovery could have been spotted earlier.
I thought like it was me. I follow a careful diet with detoxifying and nutrifying woven in. He does not do that.
Gary wants to blame me too, because he was following my advice!
I don’t want him to have cancer. Oh my God!”
Wise Counsel: “This is a finding on an early test. You don’t know how much ‘disease” is involved if at all.
Let’s look at this business of blaming yourself.
Blame is related to fear and anger. Instead of feeling it fully we put it out (either on self or other) as blame. Blaming thoughts are not scientifically or metaphysically true, not sound thinking at all!
Let yourself feel your uncomfortable feelings knowing that those emotions are passing through you, not creating the future nor defining who you are.
Additionally, You are not responsible for another adult’s health. Health involves so many complex factors including not only things like exercise, what we eat, but very much what thoughts we hold about ourselves, our body, mind and spirit. Looking at the picture this way, how can the wife take the blame for a condition in her spouse?
Perhaps your dear one’s first response in his fear reaction was to put ‘blame’ on you. We can have compassion for his emotional reactions while knowing these statements are not true!
Instead, let me help you calm yourself. Tap into your strength, access your focus on Good and on miracles. You are resilient and you can handle some of life’s curve balls. 😊”
Linda continued breathing and listening. She was able to take in some of the comforting thinking and start to shift.
Then Linda asked for a Jin Shin Jyutsu session for help in changing her emotions, attitude and energy. The JSJ helped this dear woman shift her body, mind and spirit in a dramatic way. Then L felt ready to face the health information and support her beloved constructively.
Take Away for Readers:
- Recognize panic: Know you are not offering yourself your best wisdom at this moment. Make it ok to feel what you feel. Skip projecting or receiving blame.
- Reach for help with soothing thinking. A friend to call; a book handy with wisdom. This strong feeling will dissipate with some time.
- Practice uplifting formulations as you feel calmer. Flood your being with feelings of Good Abounding and Well Being build strength and resilience.
