Hi everyone.
00:00:00.719 --> 00:00:04.080
My name is Wendy Mangero, your host of Wellness and Wealth.
00:00:04.160 --> 00:00:06.160
And of course, we're back for another episode.
00:00:06.320 --> 00:00:10.160
Today's topic Healing the Cause of Disease.
00:00:11.119 --> 00:00:14.640
So today we have Lori Kryjowski with us.
00:00:14.880 --> 00:00:23.199
Lori's previous work started with medical transcription, serving general practice, hand and upper extremity specialty, psychiatry and chiropractic.
00:00:23.519 --> 00:00:32.479
She later worked as an executive assistant in both the private and nonprofit sectors while supporting her husband's small business as an administrator.
00:00:32.719 --> 00:00:36.799
She has certifications in biopractic meditation and raithy.
00:00:36.960 --> 00:00:41.359
She has had training in psychology and human behavior and quantum healing.
00:00:41.600 --> 00:00:50.560
Because of her education in both allopathic and holistic healing, her lifetime of experience with trauma, mystery illness, medical gaslighting, and quantum healing.
00:00:50.719 --> 00:00:55.520
She has a unique ability to listen between the lines and see beyond what is spoken.
00:00:55.759 --> 00:01:02.960
Her work and the modality she uses are as unique and diverse as each individual and organization she serves.
00:01:03.200 --> 00:01:04.560
Welcome to the show, Lori.
00:01:05.040 --> 00:01:05.599
Thank you.
00:01:05.760 --> 00:01:06.640
Thanks for having me.
00:01:07.680 --> 00:01:09.519
All right, so we're going to get really in topic.
00:01:09.680 --> 00:01:13.280
When I said the word disease, it was this, not disease.
00:01:13.359 --> 00:01:15.280
It's this unease of self.
00:01:16.079 --> 00:01:17.280
I'm assuming.
00:01:17.439 --> 00:01:22.319
So, but I'd love to know specifically to you, what does disease mean?
00:01:22.560 --> 00:01:30.879
So with the allopathic and holistic worlds clashing in my life, we look at disease as something that we can code medically.
00:01:30.959 --> 00:01:32.719
So insurance pays for it, right?
00:01:32.879 --> 00:01:38.319
So we look at diabetes as a disease or Perkins's as a disease.
00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:41.120
So what is ease to me?
00:01:41.760 --> 00:01:48.640
To me, disease is any area where we are lacking ease, where we are lacking wellness.
00:01:49.599 --> 00:02:01.120
So it can be literally anything that we feel uneasy with, something that doesn't come easy to us, where we don't feel healthy in areas of our life.
00:02:01.439 --> 00:02:13.520
And of course, that is always going to end up manifesting in the physical body, but it often starts with a trauma or an emotion or a stressful life event.
00:02:13.840 --> 00:02:19.360
It brings discomfort and lack of ease into our lives.
00:02:19.599 --> 00:02:24.479
And it can eventually manifest into physical disease.
00:02:26.080 --> 00:02:31.439
I always feel like there's some warning signs before we get into a major illness.
00:02:31.680 --> 00:02:37.840
Strangely enough, I was actually born with cancer as a baby, which is rare that you're born with it.
00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:41.280
And I know my mom at the time had so much stress in her life.
00:02:41.439 --> 00:02:49.199
I'm not blaming her by any means, but I just know that from my own experience, and even anytime I've ever been sick, there's usually stress.
00:02:52.319 --> 00:02:56.800
When it comes to the ideas of disease, most people ignore those things.
00:02:56.879 --> 00:03:00.719
So you're experienced what happens when you ignore those things.
00:03:01.039 --> 00:03:02.719
I'm gonna back up just a little bit.
00:03:02.879 --> 00:03:14.879
This is so interesting because I don't know anything about you, and I would have never known that you were one of the ones that breaks the mold, that typically we're born into this world and then we get sick.
00:03:15.599 --> 00:03:22.240
But you're one of the ones that broke the mold and came in right off the bat, you get to learn a really tough lesson and how to heal.
00:03:22.560 --> 00:03:26.479
I say that with all due respect to you and to your mom.
00:03:27.199 --> 00:03:34.879
When I meant by backing up, is we have to realize that we aren't just born into our bodies.
00:03:35.039 --> 00:03:37.280
We are born into our ancestors' bodies.
00:03:37.439 --> 00:03:38.960
And this can go back.
00:03:39.520 --> 00:03:42.639
Some people say five generations, some people seven generations.
00:03:42.800 --> 00:03:49.599
I say there is no limit to how far it can go back to what we are born into down in our DNA.
00:03:50.080 --> 00:03:55.360
We have multiple lines of ancestors' DNA in us.
00:03:55.919 --> 00:04:07.520
So when our ancestors experienced illness, disease, trauma, war, strife, and all of that, that is in our DNA.
00:04:08.080 --> 00:04:12.000
Because that is passed forward through the mothers.
00:04:12.560 --> 00:04:18.720
We have no choice but to be born with all of that baggage.
00:04:19.920 --> 00:04:32.720
If we just go back even a couple hundred years, anybody born after the Industrial Revolution has been exposed to an exponential amount of toxicity in our environment than any ancestors that came before us.
00:04:32.879 --> 00:04:44.720
They didn't have to worry about heavy metals and glyphosate and cadmium and pesticides and herbicides and fungicides and all of the chemicals that we are bombarded with every single day.
00:04:44.879 --> 00:04:58.160
So if you think back just a few generations, your great-grandmother and your grandmother, and then your mom, we don't know where they were raised and what they were exposed to and what they passed forward to you while you were in the womb.
00:04:59.120 --> 00:05:08.160
So given that you had a kind of a bumpy start, you didn't have an opportunity to really start listening to the cues of your body.
00:05:08.480 --> 00:05:10.319
We're not taught that.
00:05:10.560 --> 00:05:24.000
As children, we're not taught that these really soft, subtle cues are actually big fat red flags that we need to pay a whole lot of attention to.
00:05:24.240 --> 00:05:43.519
Because, like you said, when we don't even know that our body is telling us something every single day, our bodies are such miraculous, amazing tools, instruments, vehicles, whatever it is that you want to label your body, they are absolutely fascinating.
00:05:43.839 --> 00:05:50.079
And just like our cars have a whole dashboard that can light up when things are going wrong.
00:05:50.240 --> 00:05:51.680
Our body does that too.
00:05:51.920 --> 00:05:53.439
But it's just not that obvious.
00:05:53.519 --> 00:06:00.959
And we're not trained and educated to know that these discomforts are our lights on our dashboard.
00:06:01.199 --> 00:06:06.160
Those headaches are not something we can just aspirin away.
00:06:06.399 --> 00:06:13.279
Those are huge lights on the dashboard that absolutely need attention immediately for the function of our body.
00:06:13.439 --> 00:06:14.959
And that can be said for anything.
00:06:15.120 --> 00:06:22.720
If we've got gastrosophosophageal reflux disease, that is a huge red flag and people medicate it away.
00:06:23.439 --> 00:06:36.560
So I think the very first step is learning to understand the really subtle cues that our bodies give us and really be dedicated to listening to those cues and doing something to support the body.
00:06:36.800 --> 00:06:38.240
We have to change our oil.
00:06:38.399 --> 00:06:41.279
We have to put premium fuel in it.
00:06:41.519 --> 00:06:59.439
We have to take it into the mechanic every once in a while, virtue enough, and do all of the right things for our bodies, for the best possible outcomes, not just for ourselves, but any future generations, for our relationships, for our businesses, for all of life.
00:07:00.959 --> 00:07:09.680
One of the things I was gonna say, and I'm curious about your thoughts about this, is that as children, you're always taught to brush off anything that happens to you.
00:07:09.920 --> 00:07:10.240
Yes.
00:07:10.399 --> 00:07:15.759
Like you skin your knee, you just kind of brush it off, and you get that they're trying to teach resilience.
00:07:16.000 --> 00:07:16.720
I understand that.
00:07:16.879 --> 00:07:24.879
But on the other side of that, I don't think that we sometimes pay enough heed when children say something, that there's something wrong.
00:07:25.199 --> 00:07:29.680
And the other thing that I think that we do is oh, you're young, that shouldn't bother you.
00:07:29.920 --> 00:07:33.279
And it teaches kids not to pay attention to themselves.
00:07:33.600 --> 00:07:46.079
I'm glad you brought that up because that's one of the topics that I try to suggest to people so much is that the minute we start learning language, is the minute we start shutting down our innate wisdom.
00:07:46.879 --> 00:07:51.600
We start shutting down our intuition, we start shutting down our feelings.
00:07:51.839 --> 00:07:53.920
Absolutely, we start shutting down our feelings.
00:07:54.079 --> 00:07:55.519
And I'm not saying this is all bad.
00:07:55.600 --> 00:07:57.839
Like you said, there is some resilience to that.
00:07:58.079 --> 00:08:03.279
But the minute that we start learning language is the minute that parents start saying, use your words.
00:08:03.519 --> 00:08:04.800
Kids don't hold back.
00:08:05.040 --> 00:08:06.959
If they're upset, you know it.
00:08:07.120 --> 00:08:08.959
The full restaurant knows it.
00:08:09.920 --> 00:08:12.240
We are taught to suppress that.
00:08:12.560 --> 00:08:16.000
It's not just emotions, but it's the physical stuff too.
00:08:16.240 --> 00:08:19.120
Kids are very self-centered and need a lot of attention.
00:08:19.279 --> 00:08:21.199
Sometimes they do it for attention.
00:08:21.439 --> 00:08:26.800
And it's hard as an adult to navigate what they truly need in that moment.
00:08:26.879 --> 00:08:35.120
Do they truly just need some attention and they're maybe making up some stories to get that attention?
00:08:35.279 --> 00:08:37.279
Or do they really have a tummy ache?
00:08:37.600 --> 00:08:41.200
And if they do have a tummy ache, is it all emotion?
00:08:41.919 --> 00:08:49.519
Is it really just emotion that they're starting to feel the manifestation of shutting down their feelings?
00:08:50.399 --> 00:08:53.360
It it's tough to navigate as a parent.
00:08:53.600 --> 00:08:55.919
I had a very sensitive son when he was young.
00:08:56.480 --> 00:09:10.240
And it was hard for me to discern when he needed attention and when he had a physical symptom brought on by food or emotion because he was overwhelmed with the situation he was in.
00:09:10.639 --> 00:09:12.559
We don't grow out of that, right?
00:09:13.120 --> 00:09:21.440
We did as adults, we don't grow out of being really uncomfortable in situations and having a physical symptom in response to that discomfort.
00:09:22.480 --> 00:09:37.279
What we can do is redo some of that self-care that we might or might not have received as kids when we're trying to navigate those uncomfortable situations.
00:09:37.519 --> 00:09:38.720
No fault to our parents.
00:09:38.879 --> 00:09:42.320
They did the best job they knew how to do with the tools they were given, right?
00:09:52.960 --> 00:09:57.440
I mean, talk about a generation that had to learn quote unquote resilient, independent.
00:09:57.600 --> 00:10:04.879
And then I would the whole thing is that mental health was certainly not prevalent, like of getting help at that time when you had issues.
00:10:05.120 --> 00:10:23.919
But the interesting thing that I heard was the other day, and I'd love to hear your talk about this because there is when we talk about the C's and these motions and how especially Gen Xers were very tough it out, latch queue kids, that kind of thing, is that now these Gen Xers are taking care of their parents.
00:10:24.080 --> 00:10:42.960
It's very different because emotionally many Gen Xers are having trouble with their parents who are older, who are having medical issues, and there's a resentment because and and some, not all, need emotional care that we were not given in this generation.
00:10:43.120 --> 00:10:44.320
It's an interesting thing.
00:10:44.480 --> 00:10:50.159
And when we talk about disease, we have parents who kind of ignored our symptoms.
00:10:50.320 --> 00:10:58.240
I hope that the longer we live, the more we understand that it's really important to pay attention to these things, even if it is with our parents.
00:10:58.320 --> 00:11:12.720
But it is this interesting time that we're living in for those who had parents who didn't give us the validation that we needed to be heard and now learning how to do that for ourselves and then be able to give that back to our parents.
00:11:13.039 --> 00:11:15.279
If we even learned it for ourselves, yeah.
00:11:15.519 --> 00:11:21.120
I think a lot of us joke, but it's not funny that most adults are just children in large bodies.
00:11:21.440 --> 00:11:31.600
Because a lot of people have grown older and into adulthood, but they still don't really know how to navigate feelings and discomfort and uncomfortable situations.
00:11:31.759 --> 00:11:56.720
We're still caught in that somewhat automatic response and reaction instead of being able to be solid in our own personal knowing and observing the situation and being called to respond to the situation in an appropriate manner.
00:11:57.039 --> 00:11:59.039
I think many of us still just react.
00:11:59.360 --> 00:12:02.399
We lash out, we defend, we protect.
00:12:02.960 --> 00:12:05.600
And it really comes down to maturity.
00:12:06.159 --> 00:12:09.759
We don't always mature just because we get older.
00:12:10.240 --> 00:12:18.799
The ability to mature is something to be proud of because not everybody does it.
00:12:20.240 --> 00:12:23.279
It's not something that's passed down to the generations.
00:12:23.440 --> 00:12:24.480
I think it's modeled.
00:12:24.720 --> 00:12:28.720
Parents can model mature behavior or care really immature behavior.
00:12:29.039 --> 00:12:36.720
We can rise above our own environments, observe our own behaviors, and realize I really didn't like how I behaved in that situation.
00:12:36.879 --> 00:12:38.159
I need to do better.
00:12:38.399 --> 00:12:45.759
We can mature ourselves, but that doesn't mean after 18, we're all mature and we all know all the things.
00:12:46.240 --> 00:12:58.639
There are plenty of eight-year-olds who are still very immature, they still react and they're still just not emotionally intelligent and emotionally beyond really childhood.
00:12:58.960 --> 00:13:03.120
And I think that really just all comes down to each individual.
00:13:03.279 --> 00:13:05.679
And I can speak from my own personal experience.
00:13:05.919 --> 00:13:11.360
When I was young, my sister passed away and it shattered our whole family.
00:13:11.519 --> 00:13:16.480
Each one of us went into our own corners and licked our wounds, and we never came back together.
00:13:16.720 --> 00:13:25.120
I didn't know this at the time because I was very young, but in hindsight, I can see that my parents were not that emotionally mature.
00:13:25.440 --> 00:13:40.000
When such a devastating event happened in our family, they were completely ill-equipped to handle it for themselves, let alone handle it for me and my other sister.
00:13:40.720 --> 00:13:44.559
So at the age of 13, I was officially on my own.
00:13:44.879 --> 00:13:47.519
And I had to fend for myself.
00:13:48.080 --> 00:13:57.919
And in those moments, we're given the opportunity to either wither and die or adapt and change.
00:13:58.320 --> 00:14:01.200
So that which does not kill us makes us stronger, right?
00:14:01.840 --> 00:14:03.840
Sometimes you wonder if it's really gonna kill you.
00:14:04.000 --> 00:14:10.320
I have there have been so many events in my life that I think, really, how am I gonna survive this?
00:14:10.480 --> 00:14:13.759
And you do, because you're either resilient or you're not.
00:14:14.080 --> 00:14:19.840
Sometimes life shows you curveballs and you have to find out real quick what you are in any given moment.
00:14:20.159 --> 00:14:25.360
And sometimes, similar to my parents, people don't survive them.
00:14:25.600 --> 00:14:28.559
That's really where their life kind of stops.
00:14:28.960 --> 00:14:35.200
And my mom is older now, and she is actually very sick, and I am her only caregiver.
00:14:35.600 --> 00:14:41.039
In a way, I've had to take care of a mother who abandoned me.
00:14:41.600 --> 00:14:50.960
And I'm not gonna lie and say there hasn't been moments of resentment, but it really is just moments because I'm not that child anymore.
00:14:51.120 --> 00:14:57.840
I don't have to feel abandoned and discarded and betrayed and frustrated.
00:14:57.919 --> 00:15:03.919
It's my choice to stay there, or it's my choice to say, that's not who I am anymore.
00:15:04.240 --> 00:15:06.320
This is what she needs right now, today.
00:15:06.559 --> 00:15:08.639
And I have the ability to give it.
00:15:08.879 --> 00:15:10.799
So step up and give it.
00:15:11.919 --> 00:15:14.000
I'm my mom's caregiver too.
00:15:14.480 --> 00:15:20.320
It's interesting because I really give her all of the props for taking care of me with cancer.
00:15:20.399 --> 00:15:23.759
She was the parent who was really there.
00:15:24.080 --> 00:15:28.960
She had other issues, and they stemmed as we went forward in life.
00:15:29.279 --> 00:15:31.200
Divorce, whole nine yards.
00:15:31.279 --> 00:15:38.559
And anyway, but I say that and I realized too, my family fell apart for different reasons through alcoholism when I was 13.
00:15:38.720 --> 00:15:42.240
Actually, it started when I was six and it really exploded at 12.
00:15:42.480 --> 00:15:47.759
And so from 11 on, we went from a nucleus family to Ford to like I was alone all the time.
00:15:48.080 --> 00:15:54.879
I understand the feeling of suddenly feeling abandoned, and it's an interesting thing because I have I got my moments.
00:15:55.039 --> 00:16:01.519
I've certainly had my moments where I'm like, this is not what I thought it was gonna work out to be.
00:16:02.240 --> 00:16:05.360
And then there's other moments where I really get to go, you know what?
00:16:05.440 --> 00:16:06.720
She was there for you when you were little.
00:16:06.879 --> 00:16:11.519
She was in your corner and advocated for you despite all of the insanity around you.
00:16:11.679 --> 00:16:14.159
You wouldn't be here if she didn't do that.
00:16:14.399 --> 00:16:17.440
Being able to see that balance is an amazing thing.
00:16:17.600 --> 00:16:25.440
And I think that as you talk about emotional maturity, is the ability to be able to say, like, no, I'm not gonna like this every day.
00:16:25.600 --> 00:16:29.120
But the emotional mature side to me is like this is the right thing to do.
00:16:29.279 --> 00:16:43.360
And it's so different because I don't know if I was always taught to do that right thing, but I've been able to do it despite sometimes how I feel, which is a really, really important thing.
00:16:43.600 --> 00:16:48.080
For you, when did you realize that holistic healing was the best approach?
00:16:48.320 --> 00:16:49.840
We're talking about some heavy topics.
00:16:50.080 --> 00:16:53.679
How did you learn that was the way you were gonna feel from all of this?
00:16:54.799 --> 00:16:57.279
So I started out the same as everybody does.
00:16:57.360 --> 00:17:01.360
You go to the doctor, you bring your symptoms, they give you pills and they don't work.
00:17:02.159 --> 00:17:07.759
By the age of 15, I was already starting to exhibit some serious health issues digestively.
00:17:08.000 --> 00:17:14.079
By the time I was 17, I was having episodes that they still to this day can't tell me what they were.
00:17:14.160 --> 00:17:23.200
But every time mencies would start, I would lose large gaps of time and sleep up to 20 hours a day.
00:17:23.920 --> 00:17:25.839
They can't tell me exactly what they were.
00:17:26.000 --> 00:17:31.200
I was studied for seizures, I was studied for migraines.
00:17:31.359 --> 00:17:32.000
It doesn't matter.
00:17:32.079 --> 00:17:33.599
It's that was them, this is now.
00:17:34.079 --> 00:17:40.160
But essentially what led me to ballistic health was failure of allopathic health.
00:17:40.480 --> 00:17:50.160
Because by the time I was 24, I had become so grossly underweight and unwell, it wasn't working.
00:17:50.319 --> 00:17:55.279
And all allopathic medicine wanted to offer was antidepressants to stimulate my appetite.
00:17:55.440 --> 00:17:57.279
Appetite was not the problem.
00:17:57.519 --> 00:18:00.240
It was everything else that happened after I ate.
00:18:00.880 --> 00:18:04.960
All of the tests are normal, all of the labs are normal, everything's normal, you're fine.
00:18:05.119 --> 00:18:07.119
Perhaps it's all in your mind.
00:18:07.599 --> 00:18:14.640
That's where I really focus on reassuring people that there is such a thing as medical gaslighting.
00:18:14.880 --> 00:18:26.000
They do absolutely, especially with women, dismiss you, that you're hypochondriac, you're making you know, it's all stress, it's all stress, it's all stress, it's all stress.
00:18:26.160 --> 00:18:33.920
A lot of it is stress, but it is the physical manifestation that has gone on for so long that it's finally starting to destroy your body.
00:18:34.160 --> 00:18:58.160
I walked away from allopathic medicine and I started seeing a naturopathic doctor who introduced me to a world I didn't even know existed: refluxology, acupuncture, herbal medicine, homeopathic medicine, oils, bach flowers, and all of these beautiful medicines that have existed far longer than most of us, I did start to heal to some extent.
00:18:58.400 --> 00:19:08.240
But it wasn't until I started to really go beyond the physical and the herbs, tinctures, supplements, and even beyond the emotional.
00:19:08.799 --> 00:19:14.720
I went all the way into the quantum realm of infinite possibility.
00:19:15.279 --> 00:19:24.079
If you've ever heard the name Dolores Cannon, she used to work with her husband and they would hypnotize people and do past life regression stuff.
00:19:24.240 --> 00:19:30.640
But what I was doing was similar, but it didn't focus on past life regressions.
00:19:30.720 --> 00:19:40.880
It focused on moving beyond anything you can imagine within your physical or within your emotional or within your mental or within your spiritual.
00:19:41.200 --> 00:19:50.160
It was beyond this earthly realm in a way, to a place where we originate.
00:19:51.039 --> 00:20:05.039
And it's when we can move beyond ourselves into the place of oneness where we all come from, it's like how do you even put it into human words?
00:20:05.119 --> 00:20:11.759
It's like you immediately, you immediately know where the dis-ease is.
00:20:12.160 --> 00:20:21.759
And you can even point in your body where that dis-ease lies, what it stemmed from, and the trauma or stressful event in your life that might have sparked it.
00:20:22.079 --> 00:20:29.680
There's always something that triggers some kind of dis-ease in your body.
00:20:29.920 --> 00:20:39.279
It could be something as simple as heavy metals from generations before, but heavy metals and negative emotion go hand in hand.
00:20:39.839 --> 00:20:43.839
So it does have to be a multi-layered approach.
00:20:44.000 --> 00:20:52.799
I sincerely don't know how anybody can truly heal their physical bodies strictly by addressing the physical body ailments.
00:20:52.960 --> 00:21:04.319
If you are not also addressing the emotions that contribute, the unhealthy mental thoughts that contribute, the spiritual misalignments that contribute, I don't know that it's possible to truly heal.
00:21:04.880 --> 00:21:14.079
And if I were to stand before you, I would like you to point out to me where physical illness begins and ends, and where emotional illness begins and ends.
00:21:14.240 --> 00:21:22.160
Point out to me on my physical body where mental and spiritual, emotional and physical health begins and ends on my body.
00:21:22.480 --> 00:21:36.319
We're such a complex, multifaceted fascination of a human being that it's silly to me not to address all those other layers.
00:21:36.480 --> 00:21:41.039
To not cry is like saying, well, don't sneeze anymore.
00:21:42.640 --> 00:21:45.920
It's silly to not address all of those layers.
00:21:46.400 --> 00:21:51.440
What led me to that was failure of all of the others.
00:21:52.799 --> 00:22:00.880
Failure of allopathic medicine, not helping my physical body heal, led me to emotional, mental, spiritual healing.
00:22:01.599 --> 00:22:03.200
And then it trickles back down.
00:22:03.359 --> 00:22:10.480
When you start healing on a spiritual, mental, and emotional level, it absolutely trickles down into the body, and the body is so much happier.
00:22:10.960 --> 00:22:12.880
It functions so much better.
00:22:13.359 --> 00:22:15.359
I think there's two points.
00:22:15.519 --> 00:22:20.559
One is that many times when we go to the doctor, they're treating symptoms, not because.
00:22:20.960 --> 00:22:24.640
Granted, there's preventive medicine, but that's really something totally different.
00:22:24.799 --> 00:22:43.519
And then on the spiritual side or on the whole side, I always have this theory or have had it since I was very little, that if I can, if I could even possibly understand the infinite world or this infinite spiritual being that I am, I'm really actually making it too small.
00:22:44.000 --> 00:22:48.480
And the older I get, the more I believe that I live pretty close to the beach.
00:22:48.559 --> 00:22:50.960
And I love going down there because of that reason.
00:22:51.039 --> 00:22:56.880
Like many times, it's very difficult for me to stand at the ocean and go, Yep, I am a big deal here.
00:22:58.000 --> 00:22:59.200
It's so fast, right?
00:22:59.359 --> 00:23:07.279
And that's where I really think about that spiritual world is that it's so fast that if I try to explain it, it's like me trying to go against the current of the ocean.
00:23:07.440 --> 00:23:08.559
It's just not gonna work.
00:23:08.720 --> 00:23:15.119
And I find that people are trying to go against the current of the ocean, and then they can't understand why it's not working.
00:23:15.279 --> 00:23:17.599
They don't feel well why it's not working.
00:23:17.759 --> 00:23:28.720
And I think that when there's this ability to let go to be able to kind of go, I'm a very small part of a very, very large whole, and I just got to figure out what I'm supposed to do in the present moment.
00:23:28.880 --> 00:23:33.759
There's a release in beds, then you're able to heal yourself.
00:23:33.920 --> 00:23:36.559
I was the person who was born sick.
00:23:36.720 --> 00:23:41.759
I went through most of my young life into probably my 20s.
00:23:41.839 --> 00:23:47.119
And I share about this often of everybody telling me don't do stuff because I was gonna get sick again.
00:23:47.279 --> 00:23:53.519
Although I had gotten in early, the basis of my whole childhood was this fear of getting it again.
00:23:54.240 --> 00:24:06.079
And it took years for me to be like, yeah, I don't know if I can do anything or not do anything, that I'm gonna strike myself with cancer again in that realm of very punishment, very fear-based.
00:24:06.160 --> 00:24:07.759
Yes, very fear-based.
00:24:08.079 --> 00:24:15.359
I realized that people are, you know, those around me who were saying it to me is because they had their own fears, they had watched me go through this.
00:24:15.440 --> 00:24:26.720
So I understand that also puts limits on you as a person where you don't trust this incident being out there because you're listening to the world around you going stays more.
00:24:27.119 --> 00:24:28.000
You took on their fear.
00:24:28.160 --> 00:24:32.559
And so, you know, as I got older, I go, yeah, no, that's not gonna work for me.
00:24:32.799 --> 00:24:38.240
But it was those things that I had to holistically look at, especially in the spiritual, emotional, mental realm.
00:24:38.400 --> 00:24:41.200
I can't do what you want me to do.
