"emotions, beliefs, purging, joint pain, flu, ache"

On Monday I became aware of how I quenched my passion, so I took action and made a commitment to change this in order to reignite the fire in my soul.

When I awoke Tuesday I felt fatigued as if I ran a half marathon, my whole body was sore and I felt bone ache as if it was the onset of the flu. A hot shower and some Advil helped with the pain and discomfort so I could get on with my day.

I went to my scheduled workout at 5pm and pushed through it, but afterwards the joint pain in my shoulder blades and wrists was too much to ignore. Then I started feeling light headed. I was very confused as to all these symptoms I was feeling as I truly did not believe I was sick, so what does a guy like me do? Let's Google for answers!

emotions, beliefs, purging, joint pain, flu, ache

The search results that came back informed me that emotions and associated beliefs are stored at a cellular level, if left unaddressed they can build up over time until they are released. That my body is finally purging this stuff that I have suppressed over the last 10 years, which have over time become toxic. I'll admit that this is very woo for me to believe, but I could not ignore how my body felt.

In an attempt to rid myself of some of this discomfort I go do a float, with the hope the salt can help with my muscles. 90 minutes later I come out of the tank and feel better, but now my sinuses are congested. When I go outside and breathe the cool night air my nose starts running. Great. Runny nose, aches, pains... I feel like I'm a walking ad for a flu medication commercial.

I rush home and crawl into bed hoping sleep will give my body time to sort out whatever is going on. When I wake this morning the sinus congestion is gone, body doesn't ache as much but the joint pain still exists.

I still don't believe I am coming down with the flu, so how about that a cell in my body can be impregnated with emotions? Believe that? Or releasing a bunch of stored negative emotions simultaneously can cause flu like symptoms?

Do I believe any of this?

Let's just say that what I felt in the last 36 hours is quickly changing my mind.
