I used to get strep throat every single year. It’s awful—and if you’ve ever faced it, you know exactly what I mean.

The last time I had it, I ended up in the ER. The pain was worse than I'd ever experienced from strep before, plus my throat was so swollen that I couldn’t swallow or breathe (thankfully I had a nose that was still working)...

It was scary. 

The ER doctor gave me a disgusting steroid drink to reduce the inflammation. It helped open things back up, but it was still a long and painful recovery… 

When I left the hospital, I felt something deep inside of me rebel at the idea of ever getting strep throat again—it was a deep, full-body rebellion.

And amazingly, I haven’t ever had it again—not since I was 22 years old!

Looking back, I understand why I had so many problems with my throat back then. I had always shoved down all of my emotions, refused to feel, and refused to express myself. 

I still remember what it felt like during difficult conversations as a child, teenager and young adult… My emotional walls would lock into place, my neck would stiffen, my jaw would tighten into a defiant position, and I’d fix my eyes anywhere but on the person who was talking to me. 

Truthfully, I don’t know that I could have expressed myself back then if I had wanted to, because I was so disconnected from feeling emotions. I was too proficient at subconsciously detecting them and immediately locking them away. 

I’m incredibly grateful that we can change and become better.

I don’t even want to know what my life would be like now—or what issues my throat would be dealing with—if I had decided to continue with those unhealthy behavior patterns regarding my emotions…

If you’ve ever struggled with expressing yourself—whatever the reasons may be—there’s a dose of enlightenment below.

Perhaps it's exactly what you need for your next step on your healing journey.

Love from Jac

Since we promised to treat you to an extra dose of light in your inbox, we include a Dose of Enlightenment for you at the end of each newsletter. We value your agency, so it’s up to you whether or not you receive it!

This Dose of Enlightenment is a frequency equation meant to clear a hidden and trapped emotion that you’ve been holding onto. 

If today's emotion is one that we have already cleared, know that we are addressing a different layer or situation this time.

*******************************************************

Today’s emotion is: not expressing self

How does this emotion apply to you? For best results, ponder this question and identify how not expressing self applies to you.

Dose of Enlightenment: 81 + 919 = E

Say it out loud with intent: “eighty-one plus nine-nineteen equals enlightenment.”

Breathe. Let it go. Feel the shift. Allow your body to be filled with light.
