I lost my voice. I had a cold, the first of any illness in three and a half years, masking and distancing kept everything at bay. Like everyone out there I regularly get something about once a year. I’ve heard people diss other healers for getting sick like we should be superhuman or something. We’re not. Sometimes I feel guilty when I get sick, but this has more to do with the fact that after my parents were divorced it was a hardship for my mother to have to skip work to stay home with me due to money strain. Throughout my twenties I often went to work when I was sick due to the same, needing the money.
I taught a class on Saturday, I was already on the road to feeling better as I had used all of my herbs and healing potions and immune system support tools nonstop all day Friday, which was when the symptoms first started.
But that dang full moon woke me every hour or so Friday night, so I did not fully get the rest I needed. It’s pretty common for me to have sleep disruptions during a full moon, the doggies do as well. So even when I can ignore the intensity of it, they make sure to wake me a few times throughout the night.
By Saturday night my voice was just a hoarse whispery thing. So, I am doing something VERY challenging for me, not talking. Resting the voice is key in repair. Resting is key in any repair of anything and everything. I’m good at napping and not so great at not talking. It doesn’t help that Jon is also a talker. He keeps trying to talk to me, and I just keep smiling and nodding or shaking my head right now, with the occasional throaty response when needed.
But my voice! Ugh! I do feel fear when I lose my voice as it is a primary vehicle for my self-expression and my work.
I also spoke by phone with my father who is an Aries last week for the first time in years. This throat chakra/voice thing seems to have a connection to this, and I’ll explore this soon in another processing-out-loud piece.
In Venus good news, she’ll be moving out of the post-retrograde shadow aspect on the 7th. All of that self-discovery work while she was retrograde this summer in helping us identify more clearly who and what we love will begin to bear fruit.
We’ll be gathering on Zoom this Wednesday, October 4th at 2:00pm Pacific time for our regular monthly event. Registration is here
How are you today?
Under the weather too! Sleeping not great! I can relate Nora❤️❤️❤️
Must be something in the air -and I’m not talking germs. I’ve spent the last week sicker than I’ve been in years. Mine is more centered in the lungs - old grief here got clearing? Nice to know I’m not alone. Here’s to clearing and health.
