Continued from What's Up With Your Sore Throat? ...
Really? How could this be? What had changed in my life?
It hit me like a bolt of lightning! I had found my voice.
Say what, Marie? What are you talking about?
Ten years ago, during my process of becoming an Advanced Certified BodyTalk Practitioner, I had learned about Body Consciousness – that each part of the body has a consciousness, a role, a reason for being.
Consider your throat. What’s located in and around your throat? Well, for one thing, your voice box – your vocal chords. You can see, then, that one of your throat’s reasons for being, one of its states of consciousness, is communication and expression.
When studying BodyTalk, I learned that a physical pathology in an area of the body can create a pathology in consciousness, and that the reverse is true, as well. A pathological consciousness can create a physical pathology in that area of the body.
Ten years ago, I had come to understand that I did not have my voice, because I had, for many years, allowed various people and circumstances in my life, to shut down my expression of myself.
Equipped with that awareness, I allowed myself to transform from being "muted Marie" to a much more complete expression of myself, and I have come to know that, depending on the situation, even a conscious choice to abstain from vocal expression can the highest and best expression of myself.
Not having a voice, not having an adequate expression of my being, had made sore throats a recurrent theme in my life!
What an amazing journey this is. So many doors opening to new understandings.
Now, with this glimpse into my world of understanding, you can see how a sore throat is not just a sore throat!
