The ethos establishing 5 Pillar Health, IS…drum roll please…”Health”. And ironically, last week I sat in abject misery with a shoulder/neck/muscle/nerve injury. Who knows what it was? I was in horrendous pain and couldn’t even think straight.
How the heck am I expecting anyone to listen to me about health or coaching? How can I heal others through their self sabotage and their ill-health when I can’t even manage my own body? I felt like a fraud.
It was tough week… Physically, mentally, emotionally, & spiritually. I really have no idea how this event occurred. I just woke up one morning out of alignment and feeling like hell. Doing Tai Chi was extremely painful and I couldn’t find a mental clearing to practice effective self Reiki. Doubts started flooding in, rapidly replacing my usual positive outlook. Was this some type of past emotional trauma being released? Everything is connected. The body keeps the score.
Through my years in this realm we call Earth, I have come to trust my intuition which has brought me through a few crises. I’ve learned through many years of experience that my instinct can be relied upon. And so, this time - even though my pain was debilitating, I had a feeling everything was going to be OK if I just worked through it / lived with it. I meditated on the condition and prayed for the solution.
The next day, as coincidence would have it, we had our twice weekly Tai Chi practice. The Sifu, aware of my condition, organized the members to circle me and transmit their breath work ‘Chi’ towards me. Well, what can I tell ya? Funny how spiritual matters are surrounded in coincidence - because I began to feel better & better as the day and days grew.
Through all this, it struck me (not for the first time either) that ‘everything’ is super important until you are sick. Then you realize that only one thing was ever truly important - and that is your health.
Sitting here, perhaps 2 weeks later I’m guessing I’m at 95% of my usual self. And what is the point of Post 007? It’s to acknowledge that most people feel like a fraud from time to time. In some circles it’s referred to as ‘imposter syndrome’.
And I can now appreciate it’s a normal part of starting out in any new venture. I’m reminded that strength and fortitude will get you through these tough times. We do what we can, with what we've got, from where we are, right now.
And it’s all about progress, not perfection.
So it’s business as usual here at 5 Pillar Health, forging ahead, spreading the word about structuring full-spectrum freedom for those who seek it.
True freedom, is your health. Your Health is your Wealth
