Oh, I loved your meditation! Just wonderful ❤️ The prompt is rather interesting timing, as I've been sick last week and going into this, though starting to feel better. That was a big frustration.
"Which moments and situations cause your jaw to clench? Where are you feeling tension in your body?" My fatigued and injured vocal cords. The tension is in my throat, my jaw, neck and shoulders, and vocal cords themselves. I recently made the decision to sing again, and then last Tuesday, pretty much lost my voice.
The next day I woke up sick, so I know that had something to do with it, but it freaked me out, as I'm not sure what shape my cords are in as a result of my years long chronic fatigue, and wondered if I had damaged them with the gentle vocal exercises I was doing, but only intermittently. Taking steps to heal, and really support my voice.
And this: "This is it, my friend. It’s time. The door is open - walk through it." What a gift. Thank you ❤️
Thank you so much! Sending you lots of good wishes, I hope you feel better soon. It's such a strange thing, but I find whenever you make a decision to do something new, or set out on a new path, something will immediately happen to cause you problems or make you sick. Maybe it's panic in your body at the thought of unlocking everything you've been holding back? Take it steady, be gentle with yourself - I think it's a sign you're on the right track (although not a fun one!).
Thank you! Much appreciated 😊 Yes, I think that's it, at least in part, absolutely. I did experience that sense of panic/anxiety when I was just fleshing out the idea of singing again. I believe it was in an email exchange with you, when I began to put it down in words! My brain's a bit foggy being sick, lol.
Anyway, I'm seeing a doctor tomorrow. I am a bit better, but not well enough to think I'm getting past all this. Being silent these past seven or so days has been eyeopening for me. Seeing things... or maybe more accurately, hearing some things rising up from within me that I've been talking over.
Sometimes, something intense has to happen to get your attention!
