For years, my body was speaking to me in ways I didn’t yet understand. The whispers began in childhood like recurrent strep, endless ear infections, tubes, adenoids removed, and later, the IBS diagnosis that nearly kept me from graduating high school because I missed so many days. My nervous system was already carrying too much.

The Initiations of Motherhood

Later came the heartbreak of infertility. Failed inseminations. Miscarriages. Even when I finally did carry life, although pregnancy had moments of joy, it was also saturated with fear and intervention. The births themselves became initiations of life and death. After my daughter was born, I hemorrhaged and passed out within hours. I remember whispering to my husband, “I don’t want to die.” Two years later, after my son was born, hemorrhaging returned, this time two weeks postpartum. But this time I was fierce. I had a toddler and an infant at home. I remember the clarity: I will not die. I have to be here.

The Surgery That Broke Me Open

And then, the straw that broke the camel’s back: a gum grafting surgery gone wrong. Pain that medication could not touch. Agony so unbearable it felt like my nervous system might collapse. I remember calling the dentist’s office again and again, desperate for relief, and realizing… nothing they offered would help me. That surgery was my wake-up call. I saw clearly: the very system I had trusted to fix me could no longer lead me forward. This was my turning point. I pushed the medication away and chose to reclaim my health in my own hands. I began to water fast. I began to cleanse. I began to trust the innate intelligence of my body instead of fighting it.

New Mysteries, Deeper Listening

But of course, the conversation with my body didn’t end there. New symptoms arrived, new mysteries. Puffy eyes each morning. A thyroid nodule that doctors wanted to keep testing with long needles. I chose surgery instead. Eventually came the words: Hashimoto’s. Antibodies. A body turning against itself. But something in me knew that wasn’t the full truth. I refused to believe I was broken. I knew my body was speaking and I had to learn the language.

The Awakening of 2008

That choice to listen - instead of silence, to trust instead of fight - changed everything. It propelled me further on my path. The pain became a teacher. The diagnosis became a doorway. The breakdown became a breakthrough.

And then, in October 2008, I experienced a spontaneous spiritual awakening after watching You Can Heal Your Life the movie. In the weeks that followed it more fully broke me open to hear a deeper truth about myself and life: I am eternal, abundant, and connected.

In that window of awakening, my mind was quiet, I felt bliss and even my body shifted - my digestion settled, my cravings changed, and I felt how coherence in the mind naturally ripples into coherence in the body.

This was the culmination of a lifetime of initiation. Every ear infection, every miscarriage, every hemorrhage, every unbearable moment of pain had been carving me open, preparing me, stripping me down until there was nothing left to cling to but curiosity and truth.

This is why I now guide sensitive women to honor their sensitivity as a gift, not a flaw. Having a more finely tuned central nervous system means we feel things more deeply and sooner. So we are designed to listen deeply to what the body is saying. This is why it is important to stop trying to silence the symptoms and instead ask: What is arising here? What is my body revealing to me?

Our bodies are not betraying us - they are refusing to let us ignore what is most essential. They are pulling us back into rhythm, back into coherence, back into the truth of who we are and how to heal.

My body refused to be ignored. Maybe yours is too. And maybe, just maybe, that is the greatest gift of all.

For years, I thought my body was a problem to be fixed. Now I see it was guiding me back home - into right relationship - first with my mind, then with my body, and eventually with my wholeness.

A Living Practice, Even Now

Even now, as I write these words, my body continues to speak. A small ache arose in my right pointer finger, and instead of ignoring it, I paused. I touched it gently and whispered: I feel you. I hear you. I honor you.

And in that moment, I was reminded: our bodies are always guiding us back. Slow down. Stop pushing through. Develop a relationship. Reclaim sovereignty. Stop outsourcing trust to others, and learn to trust within. 

There is a sacred geometry within each of us that lives on three levels - the body’s innate intelligence, the curriculum of life that shapes us, and the inner guidance that continually points us back to truth. All three are always working for our wholeness.

The only support we truly need from others is not to fix us - but to remind us of what has always been within.

The Re-Aligned Journey

This is the heart of The Re-Aligned Journey™ — a three-phase spiral of healing and remembrance and why I am a spiral guide:

• In Phase One, we reclaim our mind - untangling the old records, fears, and inherited stories that shaped us.

• In Phase Two, we come into right relationship with the body - learning to reconnect, hear its language, not silence its signals.

• In Phase Three, we integrate mind and body, seeing even our traumas as part of our sacred geometry - the curriculum that has shaped us into who we are.

Every spiral brings us closer to coherence, closer to truth, closer to the Field of life itself.

Why Begin at the Autumn Equinox

The equinox is not just a date on the calendar. It is a mirror of balance - day and night equal in length, a pause before the tilt into the darker season.

Just as nature enters a cycle of release, rest, and renewal, so too does the body. At the equinox, our subconscious is more porous. Old stories rise from beneath the surface, asking to be seen. The body whispers more loudly in these threshold times, because thresholds are invitations.

This is why The Re-Aligned Journey™ begins now. Not in the brightness of summer, not in the depths of winter but here, in the moment where balance is visible, and the choice to spiral deeper is alive in both nature and in us. 

If your body has been refusing to be ignored, perhaps this is your invitation. The Re-Aligned Journey™ begins at the Autumn Equinox. You are welcome to join > here
