Sometimes I feel like a 3-year-old, kicking and screaming when she doesn't want to do what mommy wants her to do. Why does it often seem to be human nature to fight so furiously against the Greater Good. Or why we test something over and over again, hoping the results will be different, even though you know they never will? I just have to laugh at myself.
I've been doing Health Kinesiology (HK) work on myself for about 2 years, and then almost every month I drive up to Vancouver, BC, to see my own Health Kinesiologist. One of my biggest health complaints in all this time has been my cough. I have a chronic, annoying cough - annoying to me and, no doubt, to anyone within earshot. I have some lung issues left over from being in Manhattan on 9/11. So I've been trying to use HK to fix my cough.
One thing about HK is that we usually work within what we call "Body Priority" - using muscle testing, we test to see what the most pressing priority is for a person's body, and work on that first. And apparently, my cough has been a low priority for my body as I've been working on 2 years worth of other stuff. Issues that are very valid, and corrections that have been life-changing, but still, the cough causes me much grief.
But I'll admit that I started wondering how I could tell people how great HK was when I couldn't even figure out a way to deal with my own cough. I started to lose confidence in myself, which is partly why I haven't been posting or doing anything towards opening my business. However, about two months ago something happened (I'll spare you the gruesome details) where I suspected that the cough had something to do with digestion and/or diet. I went to see my HK practitioner a month ago and mentioned this to her.
Finally, my body said yes! It wanted to deal with my cough! But this was one of those "be careful what you wish for" moments. The dietary changes that came up were, let's say, challenging. This past month has been a fascinating blend of thrilling discovery, childish rebellion, success, failure and testing the results over and over again, only to acknowledge that my body was right the first time when it said what it wanted.
Believe me, when I have to inform a client that their body is requesting some sort of difficult (for them) change, I've been there and can sympathize. I'll share more details soon.
