CHAPTER 1

What's Your Frequency

"Knowing what you want to achieve is the first step in reaching your goal."

-Unknown


In the beginning of my health crisis in 2015, I remember seeing the world through cloudy, dark eyes. It was as if I walked within my own grey cloud. I felt blah, hadn't felt amazing in years, and had grown used to it. I didn't realize what I was missing. In 2003 I began classes that opened me up to amazing new knowledge in alternative healing modalities. My main focus was to find answers to help my ADHD children make it in the world without the need of medications, and hopefully maintain their fragile self-confidence in the process. At that time, I was not aware of the depth I was being called to study. fie alternative education I received was primarily for the benefit of those around me, but I can say that I too, benefited at that time.

Another mission was to find remedies for my mother's fibromyalgia, failing liver, muscular tremors, and anything to help her stop smoking. I became a research detective while trying to help those I loved, yet I felt stale and safe within the boundaries I had created for myself. At that time I was working as a hair stylist. I owned my own studio and truly enjoyed my work, as I continue to. I felt exhausted as a single parent to two great kids, while working with a clientele, and studying for nutritional counselor, herbalist and vibrational healing programs. The programs were all wonderful ways to help me feel alive, but I was depleting my core. The devastating completion of a messy, trauma-filled divorce also took its toll. Although things felt bleak, change was on the horizon.

I was also dealing with the declining health of my third child: my canine friend and best companion, Rex. He was a 14-year old shepherd mix. Rex had rescued my family 14 years prior and we all completely fell in love with him. In 2015, a few months before my diagnosis, Rex had surgery to remove a benign growth. The procedure was a success. Throughout his healing phase, I slept in his bed with him and embraced him, giving reiki energy all through those terrifying nights. When we took him to our vet's office for his check-up, the vet and his assistant said, "Most dogs this age have problems recovering from a surgery on their front leg, what are you doing?" I shared that I was doing vibrational healing with reiki, medical plants, and loving words whispered in his ear. They appeared confused.


What is your constitution?

Why do some people have physical manifestations of disease, and some seem to cruise through life unscathed? Our individual constitution has much to do with the strength of our body systems and ability to defend from disease. Our constitution is how we were formed while in the womb. Take into account what your mother put into her mouth and the quality of food and drinks consumed. What she applied topically, the quality of air, her emotional distress and her level of joy all have an effect on the strength of our core anatomy and vitality of life force. Have you noticed 80-year-olds who enjoy donuts, coffee, soda, processed foods each day, and seem to have minimal distress? My body would have given up long ago with that lifestyle! The display of a strong constitution is due to their nourishment while in the womb, and eighty years ago genetically modified foods (GMO), sugar-laden drinks, processed food, growth hormones within our farm animals, the heavy use of pesticides, and the ascent of stress did not exist. When looking at our younger population, they appear to have more illness than previous generations, due to weaker constitutions. I would classify my core constitution as mediocre at best. As a child I was plagued with respiratory ailments and frequent bouts of strep throat, extremely painful growing pains and mono, missing weeks of school at a time. When a change in lifestyle is in motion, a weak constitution can be strengthened. Epigenetics, presented by Bruce Lipton, Ph.D., has shown less than 1% of disease is connected to genetics. When we strengthen our constitution by changing our lifestyle, poor genetics no longer dominates. (To learn more about your personal constitution, refer to the Apothecary section; under Pottengers Cats.)

Regardless of your constitution, sometimes life gets messy, and without coping skills, it can be debilitating. I lacked enthusiasm and lost myself in the abyss of spiraling thoughts and negative self-talk. My focus was in the future, and looking ahead kept me moving forward and lessened my inner turmoil, but it did not relieve stress, and it left me powerless. At the time, I didn't realize how low my own inner fire had become or how deep I was being asked to study the healing arts.

In 2015, I could see and feel lesions that felt hard and leathery, and had very thick skin around my fine china. Something was very wrong. I also noticed a gooey discharge and you know it's is bad when your fine china smells of rotting flesh, which I did not realize was me until the growth disappeared. It is said those with vaginal cancer emit the odor of a rotting corpse. Ugh. At this point, I was a Usui Reiki Master/Teacher, and was familiar with the mind-body connection to disease through our physical and emotional bodies. I understood that I was not feeding my body and spirit in a nourishing way, and that on some level I took part as a creator of my health crisis. But, how did I take part in its creation? What did I need to discover?

I found it a struggle to believe my somewhat healthy, alternative lifestyle could actually be behind the creation of something so potentially lethal. By changing my perspective, I was able to view hardships in my life as opportunities for growth. That is the moment I set in motion an internal dialogue of realizing my own inner-strength. I was not a victim, and the relentless indulgence of my own personal pity party had been my champion for long enough. In victim mode I thought, "Why do bad things seem to always happen to ME, why?" I came up with many reasons just to ensure that I was always correct, feeding my ego. I placed blame in every direction but my own.

When I finally shifted into owning my own creation, I set in motion the understanding that "If I am able to manifest this within myself, then I am able to heal this within myself." By changing my routines, or variables, I was able to change the outcome. With this new understanding I had to accept that what I chose to think, consume, and breathe had played an important role in creating my current health crisis. This was my catalyst to feeling more powerful than I had felt in years, and it set in...
