On the discussion of fear — Do you fear disease and illnesses?
“As long as you keep secrets and suppress information, you are fundamentally at war with yourself…The critical issue is allowing yourself to know what you know. That takes an enormous amount of courage.”
― Bessel A. van der Kolk, The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma
Our bodies hold things tightly until we feel safe. The war that wages within creates havoc internally and forces our bodies into illnesses and disease that we most likely wouldn’t battle with if we just disclosed “what we know.”

I have my answer. I chose life, health and healing. I struggle daily to keep on the path of goodness, light and purity. This comes by allowing myself to know what I know.” It’s so hard at first. We fight this one a lot. “Stay hidden” our mind screams at us in an effort to keep steady with our normal that we have today.
But, it isn’t normal if it includes blocking what you know.
Are you doing what it takes to keep you body positioned for health?
If you came through trauma and haven’t read this book, you should!
