Repost from @tommyjohniii • The Medicine In A Blanket A blanket hand stitched by one of my clients. Using my favorite colors. Means so much more than a blanket. There’s elements to your medicine that can never be measured by anyone other than you. Elements that will never be understood by anyone other than you. Why symptoms and injuries seem so risky, they are a reinvention of yourself to the point that nobody will understand your next life. Her symptoms of healing are extremely severe in the areas of her hands, feet, nerves. For her to be able to do this goes beyond any lab value and she came up with it, she decided, she chose. It was her prescription, her dose, her actions. With symptoms. Because of them. Using them. Not in the absence or avoidance or numbing of them. She’s using her healing responses to find herself, new self. One with a voice. One with trust. One with safety. Obedient to her. Poetic within the obedience. Remember, symptoms and injuries show us how to live. They show us why living is important. They show us what’s here. Living isn’t to avoid these. Or manage these. Or hide these. Hiding them would be the opposite of trust and safety. With symptoms and injures we learn how to live. Your medicine is not mine is not hers is not theirs. It’s unique and perfect for the moment. To connect with a body that is never wrong and has full understanding on the gravity of the immeasurable. Your body will show you the value of the immeasurable and all that’s here for you.
