My personal journey with fibroids

I was diagnosed with uterine fibroids at 22 years of age and learned that the Western community offers little information about the condition. It’s one of those “wait and see” diagnoses.

What is known is that they may cause menstrual cramps or may not; they may cause heavy bleeding or may not; they may require a hysterectomy or may not. Excess estrogen, progesterone deficiency, and poor sugar (glucose) handling are all theorized causes. 

What worked best for me was changing my diet (eliminating refined grains, white flour, and sugar products) and committing to regular exercise.  I then started to see my symptoms of heavy flow, low energy, and irritability improve.  I also got acupuncture (before I studied it) which greatly regulated my hormone cycle/period.  Nevertheless, I wanted to go a step further. 

I came across information about gynecological health and the sacral chakra.  I was intrigued to learn that chakras are focal points of energy that link to mind, body, and spirit-- they’re essentially power centers of the body.  The sacral chakra connects with issues of interpersonal/one-on-one relationships, creativity, sexuality, and pleasure.  It is the yin center for women and the home of receptivity.  I began to explore the role and significance of each of these life aspects.  

I reflected on the following:

• Do I allow myself to receive?

• Do I need to be in control?

• Why do I run into the same hiccups in romantic relationships?

• How do I perceive my sexuality?

• Do I allow my creativity to develop?

• How do I manage boundaries?

• How do I compensate for the lack of fulfillment in my life?
  
  

The chakras provide an opportunity for deep healing, introspection, and insight.  Illness is the body trying to give a message that a lifestyle change is in order.   

Why not take the opportunity to become healthy, holistically? 

I invite you to take a look at my online course, Let it Flow: Womb Chakra Empowerment.

I hope this inspires others to commit to true balance and deeper healing when the solutions they have arrived at don't seem to be enough.
