Big Girls Don't Cry
Energy healing saved my life.
Not in the brought-me-back-from-a-coma sort of way, but in the Oh-THAT’S-why-I’m-sick-again way. I had a lifetime of emotion crammed into my 5’2″ body working its way out through sinus infections, injuries, odd allergic reactions, digestive disorders and more. Let me explain.
When I was a little kid, my parents loved Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons. I can remember them listening to the song “Big Girls Don’t Cry” and thinking to myself, “Ok, guess I’ll stop doing that then,” since I definitely wanted to be a big girl. The oldest of four, it was my responsibility to be the most mature in the house, the one who was the role model for the younger kids. My “Big Girls Don’t Cry” philosophy really took root the summer I turned fifteen and my grandmother was diagnosed with stage four liver cancer. She had been the primary caretaker of my grandfather, her husband, who had suffered a debilitating stroke years before. Now my parents were caring for their children and two ill elderly parents. Our world swam in pain. But I didn’t cry. I remember writing in my diary to make sure I never cried in front of them. I had to be strong.
My junior year of college was when the stuffed emotions caught up with me. Halfway into the school year I had to have a cyst removed from my body that caused me to black out from pain. To make up for missing the first half of the year, I took on extra courses and a part time job, only to leave school for the rest of junior year when I contracted mononucleosis followed by an infection in my mouth that required an emergency root canal.
This same pattern of shelving my emotions followed me through my adult life. By 2007, I was a mother of two and my body was so overrun with viruses and digestive issues that I was sick more months out of the year than well. This is when I learned about energy healing from Jill Leigh.
Energy healing gave me a map to my inner world and tools to help me manage it. Growing up, I taught myself to shut down, suppress whatever felt uncomfortable, or avoid situations that I didn’t know how to handle. As a result, I knew what emotions everyone around me was experiencing, but I couldn’t tell you what I felt or even what I wanted in any given situation. Once I learned how the auric field and chakra system processed emotional energy and connected into the various systems of my body, it became clear to me that every emotion I’d ignored became the baggage jamming up the works. No matter what antibiotics or pain relievers I took, unless I started getting through the junk inside, I was only postponing more pain.
In the ten plus years that I’ve personally practiced energy healing, not only has my physical health markedly improved, but I can directly connect energy work to the changes in the relationships in my life as well as the goals that I’ve achieved. In addition, I’ve witnessed the skills change the lives of others, including my own daughters who know it is absolutely ok and sometimes required that big girls cry.
