Hey everybody, it's Dr. Kim. I'm just finishing my day and went on to the Facebook group to support someone in one of my online forums for one of my programs. I wanted to share this because it was so powerful and it totally hit home for what it was like for me going through that autoimmune illness and all the fatigue and just the pain and feeling so perplexed over what do do. I think this is true for a lot of people that what keeps us stuck in that pattern of we're not healing, no matter what we do.

She had this idea; my body's so fragile. How can I bring love and acceptance into this state when it's triggering me so much? Everything's triggering me. It brought me back to what it was like then; that every time I was aware of the pain, it would trigger me into fight or flight. I didn't like the pain. I didn't understand the pain. I wanted to get rid of the pain. I was confused. It bothered me. It frustrated me. Every time I had that awareness, it would trigger that fight or flight. That's exactly what prevents healing.

You sort of like tension in your body, and you're clamping down, and you're increasing your stress hormones. It's the opposite of what allows healing. I supported her with allowing that new state. That new relationship with her symptoms. That's exactly what changed the game for me. I let my body be right instead of having the symptoms come up and oh my god, what's wrong? This is so wrong. I let my body be right. Okay body, what do we have going on? I'm here to assist you and support you and moving through this process so that we have more freedom instead of trying to fix it and making it wrong.

Look in and feel into what is my relationship with my pain or this fatigue? When the fatigue would hit it'd just be like doom. How am I interpreting those symptoms from my body and can I change that so that I just let that be a signal? Okay, by body's speaking to me. I'm going to stay open. I'm going to allow. I'm going to receive it instead of going into fear, or fight or flight, or urgency of trying to get rid of it. Major difference and really subtle. I'm happy to support you with that If you have questions about how to integrate that more fully. Start by feeling into your body. I'm willing to feel and experience everything you have for me. Every time you're aware of the symptom, allow that little space of allowance to let your body work through what it's working through. This is Dr. Kim D'Eramo from drkimd.com. Be sure and share this with others. Let people know what's available. The more we all connect with our body, the more we open to the abundance that is our life. Sending you my love. I'll see you soon.
