When you feel good physically, you feel good emotionally.
Now that I have overcome my chronic illness, I feel good. I am so grateful to be well.
Sometimes, we have setbacks like a chronic illness
or sometimes we have setbacks like a chronic condition.
I had a frozen shoulder.
That was painful and challenging.
Unfortunately, during my chronic illness my doctors didn’t address my health holistically so it took longer to overcome.

Growing up my family was one of about two black families in town. Now there is more diversity, but back then not so much.
Some weekends my family would drive to New York to visit my great uncle and great aunt and my cousins.
One time my great aunt asked me, “Khristee, do you double dutch?”
”No,” I replied.
“Do you know how to double Dutch?“ she asked.
“No,” I replied.
She smiled.
“I will teach you.“
We went to the back.
“First, just watch.“
I watched the ropes swing quickly and the girls jump in and effortlessly jump and dance with the ropes. I was mesmerized.
“Now, you try.“
The twins started the ropes. They spun round and round.
“Now, jump!“

So true.
I see all of my clients as my teachers.
I am always learning something new from my guides.
I am always learning something new from my research.
I am always learning something new from books and my life experiences.
I will always be a student of life.
And I am always concentrating on my healing.
I heal myself through energy work, meditation, the foods I eat, and the supplements I take.
I heal myself by spending time in nature.
I heal myself through mindfulness.
I am like a hummingbird with a curious mind, a thirst for knowledge, and a desire to always seek the sweetness and pleasures in life.

I had chronic fatigue and no stamina, so slow and gentle was definitely my speed plus this class was spiritual, so she seemed to be the right teacher for me at the time to try to muddle through my chronic illness. But even though she seemed spiritual, I was surprised to see that she was judgmental. On one instance, during her yoga class, I’ll never forget it, she asked us to do a pose which I wasn’t able to do. She asked us to thread our fingers through our toes and I just couldn’t do it. She looked at me, shook her head, and started laughing. It would’ve been different if I was laughing and making fun of myself, but I couldn’t do it. I was frustrated. It was preposterous to me and she just looked at me and laughed.
