Clearing the Emotions of Illness
The intention of this essence is to clear the beliefs, emotions and stories you have about the illnesses or injuries you have had. This is for short or long term illnesses. The emotions that may arise are shock, fears, anxiety, feeling unable to cope, anger, why me?, why now ? Hopelessness, powerlessness. Feeling sorry for your self, ‘poor me’ scenarios, resignation, feeling of this is your fate, grief of long term illness, missing out on life.. This is not going to get better. I am going to be like this for the rest of my life. Fear of getting worse and being alone, fear of being really ill, fear of there being no-one to help, wanting someone to come and nurture you, feeling there is a lot to do and you cannot cope with it because you feel ill. Not knowing what to do because you feel so bad, anger at not being able to overcome the symptoms. Pretending you it’s not happening, or avoiding the issue that you are unwell. Not being believed ‘there‘s nothing the matter with you! ‘‘You are malingering! ‘You are swinging the lead!’ Fear of not being believed or crying wolf.
Some reasons people have for getting ill: attention deflection, or wanting comfort, attention and love, to hide, to get out of doing something you cannot face. Realizing there are advantages to being long term ill, not having to be in mainstream life because you cannot cope with it. Having someone look after you rather than you having to look after yourself. Giving up your responsibilities and personal power. Look at what you believe or what beliefs your parents passed on to you about illness.
This is a 3 week essence. Physical symptoms of past illnesses may arise for you to recognise the emotions, beliefs and stories.
