healing emotionally through sickness?

First off. I apologize for not being active. Things have gotten busy working 36 hours a week and now that I have a car am enjoying the freedom. Some of you know back in december I went though a pretty nasty break up. I have healed some since but still hold some angery twords him but im trying to let go. Today I finally got all of my stuff out of his house and a few hours later I seem to find myself with a sudden cold. My theory is negative energy working its way out of my system in the physical sense. This happens quite a bit with me it seems I go through I hard experience and when I start to heal I find myself sick. What do you think?

It sounds like you have been having some hardships.

The break-up and all the emotional baggage that goes with that
Struggling to get back on your feet.

My intuition is telling me you need to do something to reconnect with yourself. Your focus has been on external things for awhile. Now you need to focus on you. Be kind to yourself now the mountain has been climbed and you are on the other side. And celebrate.

Colds can be symbolic of a need to cry. You are understandably angry but you are also wounded and suffering a loss. Make sure you show yourself some tender loving care and have a cry fest if you need to. Colds also crop up when we are stressed out so all that has been going on may have worn down your immune system. Anyways, take some time for you and feel better soon.

You do not have to suffer to be happy, and you do not need to fear being alone. I agree with Linen when she says celebrate yourself. Allow yourself to explore and heal - it can be fun!

Thanks guys iv actually been feeling happy. Im enjoying the single life and things are starting to come together for me. But yes I hae been focused externally with buying a car my job and applying for college. I have sunday and monday off. I should take that and go to a nature preserve and focus more inwardly.

Emotional issues and such, cause energy blocks in our subtle energy systems. When you let go of things that need to be released on an inner emotional level, the energy connected with the issue or emotion, is released. This creates physical symptoms on an external physical level. It is just old energy being cleared out. If you think of a dusty floor (emotional issues) being swept clean, the floor becomes clean and clear but the process stirs up alot of dust (physical symptoms). So while youre becomming clearer the opposite may appear to be true. This is what most healers develop an awareness of on the healers journey. And youve made the connection - healing through sickness - If you dont already practice a form of energy healing such as reiki, which is what I practice, I wouldnt be suprised if you have a calling to do so.

Thats amusing that you say that nightowl. Im going to college for veterinary technician and have been thinking about taking it further with energy healing for animals.
