Heal Your Secrets

Have you ever heard the saying: you are only as sick as your secrets? Do you know why secrets have enormous power and ability to incite sickness and keep you ill?

Think of it like this: you have a secret, maybe you stole something, stalked someone, borrowed money and never returned it, lied about someone, used your words to damage someone's reputation . . . the list is endless.

Now think of what these secrets do to your energy. They can sit on your mind like a rock that tumbles from time to time into your consciousness. They can clog your sense of freedom by restricting the flow of energy in your stomach or chest. No one keeps a secret without some repercussion in the body. NO ONE! Eventually, this energy which blocks, clogs, interrupts and breaks peace of mind incites disease or simply dis-ease. There is no way secrets can do anything else.

Think back to something you did or said in sneaky or lying ways that hurt someone, something that you have kept hidden inside you. You might have done or said something that you believed you were doing to heal some wound inside yourself to make your life better and -- who doesn't want that? But deep down in your being, heart, or mind you knew the deed or words were not wholesome or right behavior. You knew you were being cowardly in approaching your own feelings face on.

Want to rid yourself of these toxic secrets that are making you sick, you know the ones because each time they come up you shove them back down into your mind and body? Here's how to do it:

Take a minute and sit in a quiet place, take a walk or sit in the bathtub -- someplace where you won't be bothered.

Focus on what you did or said. Pull up the secret in all its facets and if you are able write down every facet that comes to mind. Write down what you got out of the incident, what you knew you did to the other person, what your intentions were, and how you feel about it now. Write down what feelings and thoughts surface when these secrets rear their ugly backsides into your moments.

Then write down what you can do to release that secret. This is the challenging part because most people feel too much ego pride to admit that they could possibly have hurt someone even when that was what their intentions were. They make excuses and stupid justifications in their minds that just feed the ego while they suffer. Make a list of options you can do to rid the secret from your physical, spiritual, and mental bodies. Your list might look something like this:

1. return stolen items with apology and check for the trouble you caused.
2. return the items anonymously
3. send an apology
4. send a check
5. make a phone call to speak with the person

Now keep going with options. Examine how you feel just thinking about taking right action. Doing any of this does not mean re-establishing a relationship. What it does mean is that you are ready to heal yourself.

Let me know how it is going --
Until next time,
Jan
