It often happens that I find a similar pattern recurring among several of the people I work with. This is a theme I hear frequently:

All my life I have been trying to be someone I am not: an extrovert trying to do things that don’t feel right but that apparently make money. I have fibromyalgia, so I have had to reduce my work hours. I really want to be an EFT practitioner—I am very good at it—but I don’t know how to present myself. I should do a website, but it scares me—I don’t know how to put myself out there. I think I should be on Twitter all the time, I should have a Facebook page. Why am I so scared? What is wrong with me? Sometimes I even feel that I would rather not be a physical being in this world. It is too hard. I am too sensitive, too different.

Nancy Selfridge, a physician who healed herself from fibromyalgia, has said, ”Doctors don’t know what to do with their fibro patients. Physicians hate to be unsuccessful, and they are almost always unsuccessful when they try to heal fibromyalgia with conventional medicine.”

If fibromyalgia is puzzling to medical science, it makes perfect energetic, vibrational and spiritual sense.

There is a quality of energy or presence that each of us carries with us throughout our day. That energy, as it expresses through us in ways unique to each of us, has the capacity to form empowering, nourishing, co-creative, and liberating connections.
