I thought I had escaped, but alas...<\/strong><\/p>\n

Esther felt bad the past day, sore throat and coughing a lot. And until yesterday evening everything was fine\u2026<\/p>\n

I thought I could get through it just fine, but last night it hit me. Sore throat, heavy head and something with a lot of snot.<\/p>\n

And as always it never comes at a convenient time.. I was supposed to record two podcasts today. That's why the unfortunately earlier in the message.\"\"<\/p>\n

Because I do get annoyed by those kinds of things. Not by the \u201cdisease\u201d symptoms themselves. That feels like healing to me.<\/p>\n

Although I also experience more and more the art of going with the flow. Not fighting it, but surrendering. And that is exactly the process I am in and where there is a \u201clight\u201d resistance. Letting go of control and surrendering. Trusting that everything goes exactly as it should.<\/p>\n

That we are cared for. That we may relax in that. That we may enjoy everything that life gives us. So also the periods of healing, which we can experience as illness in the physical body.<\/p>\n

When we go through intense processes and are in periods of change, this happens on all levels. So also on the physical level.<\/p>\n

Then we can be kind to ourselves and that is what I am going to do today. Be kind and take good care of myself.<\/p>\n

Knowing that my physical body still has quite a long journey full of adventure ahead of it.<\/p>\n

Surrender and letting go\u2026 it keeps repeating itself inside me..<\/p>\n

Together we create heaven on earth,<\/p>\n

Love,
\nBrian<\/p>\n
