Enjoy the journey
One of my clients this past week was talking about how she’d always been looking for the magic bullet. It really resonated with me since I spent ages ricocheting from one magic solution to another - be that various dietary restrictions, far infra-red therapy, specific breath work, trauma release exercises, neural retraining programs, genetics analysis, magnesium therapies. This is not an exhaustive list
It was always about the next thing that would cure me and flick the switch so that all my lights would come back on. I was always looking outside for answers but what exactly would be my benefit if I had just taken a magical pill and everything had started working again?
I’m not saying the process does’t have to be quick. As it turns out, although its still early days, we are managing to reverse major life-long chronic illnesses and imbalances in an average of two months (which is fast when you are talking about the length of time spent suffering). What I am saying is that what is the point of having got sick, if you don’t even learn anything from it? What is the point of the journey you are on if you haven’t even thought about why you are on it? Where is the learning? Where are all the beautiful revelations as to the Whys that you are there in the first place? Think of all the things you would lose in just having a magic pill - all the amazing lessons you are missing about your life and deep understanding of how it has affected you. All the joys of the huge Aha moments of what has been affecting you and how that has shaped you. All the lessons going forward of how to better lead your life so you are in balance permanently, because a magic pill would only ever be a sticking plaster, because you’ve not understood what caused everything and so how could it last?
All of those moment of growth would be gone. But by going inward and correcting those imbalances that really is part of the joy of doing this work. It’s not just about the end destination, it’s about the brilliant revelations along the way.
