A little piece of heaven

I’ve been forgetting to do this again, but today I remembered, so here goes!

* Owen and I met on Match.com. My mom thought I was going to die a spinster because I wasn’t in a relationship at 24, so she created an account and profile for me. So one day I started getting all these emails in the mail and I was like, WTF? She fessed up and I thought, why not meet some people? One day I lined up 3 dates – lunch, coffee, and dinner. Owen was dinner. After we came home from our first date, I told my mom this was the man I was going to marry. It was love at first sight 🙂

* I don’t own: a blow dryer, iron, makeup, or high-heel shoes.

* When I was a child, I wanted to be a star tennis player, a writer, a mommy, and a dog rescuer.

* I’m a college drop-out. I started as a Literature major, changed to Politics, switched to Media Studies, took a Semester off to figure out what I wanted to do with my life, started working (the job I talked about in my previous confessions post doing customer service for a viagra pharmacy), started a business, the business took off, went back to school to try to graduate while running a business, felt like I was wasting time and money at school, dropped out of school, met Owen, got pregnant, and the rest is history 🙂

* I once swam naked in the ocean at a public beach.

Your turn!

I’ve been really stressed lately. I don’t talk too much about it here in this blog because, well, I don’t want to make you all crazy with my problems. But I’ve been stressed. I miss Owen, my house, my dogs, my family…I miss Baja Fresh and Thai food and Whole Foods. I miss Dr. Kenny and I miss my friends and I miss I miss I miss. Yes, I’ve been homesick. I’ve also been worried. Losing Nathan’s 2nd daily CME session was a tough blow for me, I felt like I slowed down’s Nathan’s rate of progress. Not having my pre-natals and supplements is tough – I feel out of balance. But most importantly, I’ve been stressed about the future. What are we going to do with Nathan after March? My plan is to go home at the end of March so Belle can be born in the States. But once we get to LA – what’ll happen to Nathan? There are no CME practitioners in LA. Will he lose the progress he’s made? Will his progress be stunted? So I’ve been worried. Hardly sleeping. And worrying some more.

For all these reasons I decided I needed to pamper myself so I booked a BodyTalk session for myself with a Chilean BodyTalk practitioner, and all I can say is, WOW. The thing with BodyTalk is that WHO the practitioner is that works on you really matters. A good practitioner can give you a mind-blowing session, a regular practitioner may do you a bit of good but nothing incredible. Well, Paul is a REALLY GOOD practitioner. One of my chief complaints when he asked me why I went to see him was that I wasn’t sleeping well. Well I hadn’t finished putting my head on the pillow on his work table when I was asleep. I drifted in and out of consciousness while he worked, but mostly I was OUT. I felt so relaxed, so comfortable. After working on me for about 45 minutes, he woke me up and we sat down to talk about the findings of the session.

And I have to say again, as if I haven’t said it enough – BodyTalk is stunningly amazing. It works on SO MANY LEVELS. He told me about some digestive issues I’ve been having (which I didn’t even mention to him) and gave me the emotional reason why the stomach was reacting this way (I’ve been having reflux, so the stomach isn’t fully accepting food and is throwing it back up) – a difficulty accepting situations as they are. So the emotional rejection manifested by the stomach regurgitating food. So interesting huh. There were several other “links” like this that came up reflecting many of the things I’ve been feeling and going through.

But what’s most amazing is how I felt AFTER the session. I felt grounded. I felt balanced and happy. The pain in my stomach went away. The pain in my back and uterus that I’ve been experiencing wasn’t there. I felt calmer and more clear than I have in a long time. And in those moments while we were chit-chatting after the session, I realized that all those things I’ve been stressing about are NOT IMPORTANT!

The BodyTalk restored my emotional balance enough for me to see that I was worrying needlessly. I remembered that the process we’re going through is not about results – it’s about the journey. When I’m out of balance, I forget that expectations are poison. So after the session I felt calm, and I felt that it’s unneccesary for me to stress and worry about the future, because Nathan is PERFECT. He is happy. He is healthy. And the rest is just icing. So why worry?

I can’t say enough good things about BodyTalk! I’m taking Nathan for a session on Monday 🙂
