I know this will sound strange but I always think of IBS as a BONUS!

The body only has one language - the language of discomfort and sickness. And when it speaks to us in this way, it is giving us the chance to put things right and to trigger the self-healing that is our birthright.

Most people don't know this, but it actually takes between five and seven years for shock or trauma - spiritual and psychological - to manifest in the physical body. In other words, something that happened to you in 2000 or before could be stamping its mark on you now. Maybe, when you do get a quiet time, it is worth looking back.

This is often the underlying work of the healer - that search for the root cause of sickness and then the task of alerting the client and helping them understand better how they can work with their therapist to recreate harmony and balance in their life once again. What I am really saying here is that illness, however hard or unfair it seems at the time, gives us a great opportunity for growth and change and the chance to recognise what we need to leave behind in order to move forward in life. In fact, it paves the way for the greatest form of growth.

If you are reading this and you have been suffering any kind of chronic discomfort in your body, I hope this will inspire you to take back your control. You can start very simply with your environment at home and create a more healing space in which to rest and relax. Use colour and smells and anything that you like and know will work for you. I always recommend Spagyric AES essence which is a great beginning to clear past emotional issues.
