Hi Whitney,

Aquarius moon here , sitting with my feelings in my detached way. As a retired RN and Certified Nurse Midwife, now a shamanic healer and student of astrology, I soooo felt your pain as you chronicled your experience and agree whole heartedly about the stupid pain scale. I am so glad to out of the business of healthcare and into the art of healing! Thank you for your life’s work and integrity. Enjoying your blog and podcast!

Hi, Allison!

Thank you for being a fan and for your comments. I would bet you are a powerful healer...I am always excited when people with a Western medical education, which is really a tremendous thing to have, move into directly working with the spirit and energy of people. That is the future!

Hi Whitney,

Firstly, I am sorry you are in pain.

I have recently been reading your blog posts, in awe of the seemingly breezy way you have handled the monumental challenges that life has been throwing at you. A testament to your heart and resilience.

I have certainly found that questioning who is ultimately responsible for our pain, and our mindset towards pain, is helpful - and that at times it not only okay but really important, to fully embrace and even wallow in it. In my experience it is those moments of true vulnerability which precede the most profound shifts in our consciousness and then in our circumstances. Energy follows thought after all.

The most painful experiences I have had in life were emotional - mostly self inflicted too (I am a Scorpio after all). Sometimes hanging onto emotionally hurtful circumstances were validation of being alive.

Anyway, your post touched me and I wanted to reach out and let you know there are people, like me, who care - all the way over from the Southern end of Australia.

Be kind to yourself today.

Love Carol xo
