Hi. It's Dr. Kim D'Eramo from the American Institute of MindBody Medicine.  I just got off a private call with a client and one of the biggest things she's been struggling with is severe, her doctor called it Reactive Arthritis. Severe pain in her large joints, the hips, the knees, the shoulders. She's been on steroids to try to suppress this. There are a couple of things I wanted to bring up that were really amazing breakthroughs for in the call.

One was there is a disconnect between her body. She grew up and there was a lot of shame. Hated her body. Was bullied. There was this disconnect like blaming her body. My body's the problem. She still embodied that same relationship with her body even though now she's an adult, she's not being bullied, her body's more fit. That disconnect has been there so she's experiencing ease in her relationships, in her career but this whole part with the body is still been a huge trauma drama where she just is always in this lack of health and living in pain.

She's also been in a lot of fear. Like, oh my gosh ten years from now it's going to be ten times worse. What will I do? One of the things we integrated for her was releasing this old disconnect. Coming into connection with her body. Coming into allowing harmony, love, receiving, acceptance of her body. That sounds really simple but it's incredibly powerful. She's been taking her medicine every day and ever time she takes that Prednisone, the steroid, she's like, I hate this, I don't want to have to take this medication. Why am I still experiencing this illness. I'm so frustrated.

What we've changed up for her because she still is requiring the medication is to take that with compassion, with love and with harmony as a way to integrate what's going on with her body. To love and accept her body and allow this relationships, this wholeness inside to begin to integrate and release all the shame and the hatred.  Letting the pill everyday that she takes be something that serves and supports that.

The other thing she's been trying to do that I think a lot of people do with even this work is make it one more thing I have to do. I got to have time for the tools and have to have time for myself and time to integrate this. When we're present in our body. When we just, even slowing down your breathing, bringing you awareness, awareness and attention into your body, you feel everything that's coming up. You witness it and experience it. Instead of being in reactivity where it's like, oh I got to suppress it and she's actually trying to learn more as a way to counteract it. Learn more as a way to not have to face all of this, not have to really experience it. It's a distraction. It never contributes more and she's always got more to learn.

Instead witness what's coming up, experience what's coming up in your body. Be present to it. Allow it. That urgency, that fear, the thought that I need to do more. Just breath it in, breath it out. This work is something while you're on line for the grocery store. Maybe you are reading a book or while you're communicating with your child, it isn't something you need to go and learn and go and make more time for that you don't have. Because who has extra time flying around. I want you to start to take this into account to, how can I integrate this while I'm doing what I'm all ready doing and let go of that idea that I need to learn more, do more, improve and simply instead be present to my body as I experience everything I am experiencing in my day.

Hope this has been helpful. This is Dr. Kim D'Eramo from drkimd.com. Make sure you're subscribed at drkimd.com and share this with other people that you love to help and support them in their expansion. Be well and I'll see you soon.
