Boy, did I blow it this week!\u00a0 As evidenced by being late on my blog post, just for starters.\u00a0 I backslid big time.\u00a0 And how did I realize it mattered?\u00a0 When an awful pain started in my BACK, then SLID down into my gluteus, my hamstring, and eventually all the way down to my ankle.\u00a0 My psoas and gluteus medius muscles got so twisted, I could barely walk.\u00a0 Sitting created so much pain, I wanted to cry.\u00a0 Standing was about all I could manage.\u00a0 Even laying down was difficult.\u00a0 Light exercise helped ease it for awhile, so I went about my days before the Thanksgiving holiday trying to stand, walk a little, and get something, anything done.\u00a0 What a great excuse not to grow inwardly … and yes, I created it for myself.\u00a0 But how?<\/p>\n

Well, on Tuesday, I was getting into holiday mood, slowing down, thinking to myself that I fully own these Master Key concepts.\u00a0 I can slack off on the exercises, watch some TV to relax with the family.\u00a0 Thursday’s a holiday, I can wait until afterward to write my blog.\u00a0 Besides, I don’t know what to write about anyway.\u00a0 I already know what’s on my “movie poster”, and I’ve already read the material several times this week.\u00a0 And with Thanksgiving preparation, and this ridiculous pain, there’s no way I can manage a sit.<\/p>\n

By the end of Thanksgiving, I could barely move, and all the driving, shopping, cooking, and other activities were more of an excuse not to focus on my Master Key work, as was the pain.\u00a0 On Friday, I decided I needed to get on the ball, but I couldn’t get out of bed — the muscles were so tightly locked, I couldn’t move.\u00a0 So I grabbed Og from my bedside table and dug in, this time out loud – in the morning.\u00a0 Hmmm, my legs loosened up enough to get out bed.\u00a0 Index cards next.\u00a0 Okay, now I can manage to get downstairs.\u00a0 DMP out loud — got the strength to call my physical therapist and beg for a session on holiday Friday.\u00a0 Thank the universe she consented.\u00a0 While waiting for the appointment, did my read, did my sit (on a bag of ice), logged on to the site and checked in on the alliances … okay, feeling like I can drive to the appointment now.\u00a0 Is this pain all just in my head?\u00a0 Well, of course it was!<\/p>\n

While I was undergoing treatment, the dear woman had climbed up on the table to put her full weight and force into manipulating the severely twisted muscles.\u00a0 I tried thinking back to answer her questions.\u00a0 What else was going on — had I over-exerted myself?\u00a0 No.\u00a0 Bent the wrong way doing a task?\u00a0 Not that I remember.\u00a0 “You’re going through this major transition, Day, think the stress may have something to do with it?”<\/p>\n

She nailed it.\u00a0 My true transition was the internal transition I was working on, but as I slowed down on my Master Key transition, the miracles slowed, my energy slowed, and obviously, the progress I was making with my subconscious had slowed considerably.\u00a0 Perhaps this was my new blueprint letting me know that it didn’t appreciate the lack of care, it needed attention and it needed it NOW!<\/p>\n

In that very moment of realization, my attention got refocused.\u00a0 I started repeating to myself, “I always keep my promises.\u00a0 I greet this day with love in my heart.\u00a0 I do it now.\u00a0 I can be what I will to be.”\u00a0 I felt tears well up in my eyes.\u00a0 “Am I hurting you?”\u00a0 she asked.\u00a0 “No, just go for it, please.\u00a0 I need this fixed as soon as possible.”<\/p>\n

The conversation then turned to one of sharing and caring for each other.\u00a0 I began to open my heart to this woman and her needs.\u00a0 How could I start giving back to say THANKS for this wonderful revelation, for a deeper understanding, as well as the release of pain?\u00a0 What could I possibly give her to show my appreciation, beyond the standard fee?\u00a0 Just as I was thinking the question, she began telling me how her business was getting into trouble and how she needed help organizing and managing parts of her business so she could fit in more patients, instead of working on marketing and administration of her business.<\/p>\n

“Hey, I can help with that,” I told her.\u00a0 “That’s right, I know you can,” she said.\u00a0 “You help businesses improve their processes.\u00a0 I don’t know why I didn’t think to talk to you about this earlier.\u00a0 What do you think?”<\/p>\n

Here comes another of those delicious miracles.\u00a0 “Yes, I can help.\u00a0 And if you can’t pay me right away, that’s fine.\u00a0 We’ll work something out.\u00a0 Either a certain percentage of the business I increase for you, or barter for a monthly treatment at no cost, or we’ll figure out something.”<\/p>\n

“Absolutely!” And just like that, another client is lined up on my journey from employed through unemployed to self-employed!\u00a0 So I may be late, but here’s my blog posting, and all my reads, my sits, my cards, everything is caught back up.<\/p>\n

And physically?\u00a0 I’m sitting here at almost midnight, full of energy after five hours of volunteering – standing the entire time; got tons of work, housework, errands, and homework done today across 10 hours of new mobility; pain is only at about 20% of where it was yesterday, and decreasing.\u00a0 Welcome, miracles.\u00a0 I missed you.\u00a0 Subby, let’s don’t do this again.\u00a0 As my MasterMind partner suggested, perhaps my subconscious and I can come to agree that needs can be addressed gently as we go through this change.<\/p>\n

Wishing you a gentle transition!\u00a0 And days full of love and thanksgiving!<\/p>\n
