Hello, lovely listeners, and good morning, Kim. Good morning, Jill. Good morning, everyone. It's Jill and Kim at One Harmonic Whole.

Yes. So today Jill and I were talking about beliefs again. And the topic of generational beliefs is a hot topic for us because of a class that we have coming up here very soon. What, 20th, September 20th? Yep. Yes, 10 days. So it's coming up very quickly.

And we, or I should say, I, maybe Jill is too. Definitely had something happen yesterday that was a change in a pattern, change in a belief that really occurred to me that I didn't realize, honestly, until later on after it occurred. I had. I actually.

So we talk a lot about migraines. Jill gets them. I used to get them in the past. Well, yesterday was my turn to have a different experience with a migraine. And this one came completely out of the blue, like, literally fine one minute, and the next minute, severe head pain, nausea, dizziness, like, bam. Go from a zero to a nine out of ten. Like, instantly. I, wow.

I have never had something like that happen prior at all with migraines. And it was very intense. And what was very interesting as we're talking through this, and I did the things, whatever, by the afternoon I was better. It was lingering, definitely, but by the afternoon I was better and I was talking to somebody and she started talking about the worst case scenario.

Like, did your mind go into why I might have an aneurysm or having a stroke? And I thought about that and I was really impressed with myself. I did not go to that extreme. And with my nursing training and being around the medical field for so long, I was actually kind of dumb photo of myself that I actually didn't even. That thought didn't cross my mind.

I had severe pain in my head. What's wrong with you, Nurse Kim? Why didn't you think of that? So I did have that little bit of judgment, honestly, like, whoa, Kim, you didn't even think that. Like, man, you could have something severely, severely wrong.

But I let my intuition guide me in that moment, and I literally didn't even go into the extreme worst case scenario. And I actually was proud of myself. Look at that. I didn't do that.

Yeah. As you were sharing your experience with me about it, Kim—what? And as we're sharing it now with everyone who's listening—is that I got that you were very present with everything that was going on right in that moment.

Like the whole thing—you weren't an overreaction; you weren't in denial; you weren't on the extremes of any of your experience; you were completely 100% there with your experience—and you let…as you said…your intuition…you let that guide you.

We can cloud our intuition when we go to those extremes and freak ourselves out and scare ourselves with all the fear around that, and then we lose our center and we lose our gauge; we lose our ability to take the next best step—the next best step.

I had a few years ago a similar kind of thing—although it wasn't like…it wasn't a headache that came on quickly—but it was an intensive headache and it had been persisting for a while and it was just tuned in…tuned in…tuned in…and finally after a few days actually it was like: it's time.

I did not know what was going on; I didn't have a gauge; I couldn't stay present; I just…I was like worn out—it's like: it's time; it's time; I need…I need to go in—and I went and got the guidance.

Until then though…I just…you know…I was like…like you…you stay present with that experience—and balanced—I think is what it is—that balance allowed you to make the best decisions in the moment that you could for your wellness.

And I would tell you though: without doing some of the work that we have been sharing with people—without taking the time just to be with my body when it's in a good state and really listening to my body—like tuning in and doing all the calming activities and rebalancing activities that we've been sharing—I feel like there would have been a really good chance that I would have went into the extreme state yet.

And here—because of the training that we've been offering—I listened to other people—so it's not just Jill and I—everyone—Jill and I both listen to other people—and advice—and different really cool healing modalities—the other day I did a sound bowl—I went to somebody's sound bowl healing session—that was really cool—and it just helps calm the whole nervous system.

So those experiences can help me shift from going into chaos mode right away—to just staying present—like: okay—we are still calm; we're still in the vibration of calm—you can think through this stuff—so it's a practice—and you've said that so many times—you've got to practice—and your practice served you so well yesterday—it serves us well every day—but in particular yesterday—and that you were able to see that you had stayed out of the extremes and in your fullness of your own capacity to make decisions and power and choices—like you were there for yourself—you literally were there supporting yourself—and now that you saw that—you can't unsee it—right?

Yep! Yep!

Which is a tremendous gift.

It is! And again—as our society—the medical world does—it doesn't matter if it's medical world—I'm going to pick on society—and all the commercials—I remember back to seeing commercials: If you have this—you could have this disease or this problem—go to your doctor immediately—you know—all that stuff—that has been pushed down—and I think of our ancestors—and some of them were totally in their body—they were present—and they knew where to go—and it's shifted where it's like: run to the doctor for this; run to the doctor for that; you're going to have this problem…

And I'm not diminishing: If you need to go to the doctor—please go to the doctor—you have an emergency—go to ER—absolutely!

Yeah…but we are…

That would have been the old—the old way—the old way for me—that would have been the old way—is to run—I was not trained that way growing up—but being a nurse—that was my training—you go to the doctor for everything…

Yeah—I mean beliefs—in our mode of operation if you will—in our life come through various forms—they come through career training—they come through cultural training—they come through family training—generational beliefs have different forms…

In our course—we're going—in our class on Saturday—we're going specifically focus on generational beliefs—but beliefs are—they're powerful—they're non-physical—they're in our minds—they're thought—but they have far-reaching effects—in our physical experience—including in our bodies—in our world—you know…

So that's what's powerful when you see them—because once you see that and go: oh! There is a belief! You get to decide then at that stage what you'd like to do with that belief: Does this serve Kim? Does this serve Kim and her family? Does this serve Kim in her community or her career or whatever—or doesn't it? And you get then…yeah…have a lot more creative influence in your own life…

And in this case Kim—I just am so happy for you—that extreme yesterday didn't happen for you because clearly—that wouldn't have served you if you'd gone into extreme—because more than likely what happens—to me anyway—when I'm in extreme pain like that—and then pile on top of extreme pain—a healthy dose of fear and resistance—and just skyrocket pain—

Yep!

Into suffering! Like pain on top of pain on top of pain until it suffers so much anyhow—I think somehow—and you personally what I see (don't know if it's true or not)—it's yours to decide—it seemed like you couldn't even go there because:

One—it wasn't needed—in some level—you knew that because you're trained—and if it was needed—you would've gone into it.
Two—you also knew something—it was just going add—to fire—and you didn't need more fire at stage—you needed more water—to calm things down.
Yep! Exactly! Yeah…

This one! So I'd highly suggest people keep up with your trainings; keep up practicing bringing your nervous system nice even balance—so when things do come up crazy in life—you are able stay body—not go extremes—

Absolutely!

Yeah—it will—just like with yesterday Kim—having nervous system balance—having whole essence inner self balance—with your own life allows go ups downs lot more ease—even though yesterday wasn't—you know—it wasn't like yay for that—you went through—it did best could—which pretty phenomenal—I was like: You got out bed just afternoon! Holy crap! Way go Kim!

Yeah…I just…yep…you listen body don't judge don't craziness just say: Okay what do need? I'm here—

Yep! Yep!

I still talk—

Yeah—

Wonderful—

Oh Kim thank much sharing experience us—

Thank Jill—
