In 2017, I was driving my car around Boston one morning when I went to scratch my scalp. I didn’t think anything of it until I noticed the spot I was scratching was completely bald. When I placed my hand over the rest of my scalp, I noticed there were multiple other bald spots as well.

In a state of fear and panic, I did the worst thing I could possibly do. I started judging myself. How would I call myself a healer when my hair was falling out? How would I stand in front of others when my hair was missing in patches?

Trying to pretend everything was fine, you and I both know everything was certainly not fine! My body was sending me a full blown message because I hadn't been listening to my truth. I would have to surrender to the message my body was telling me or else I would continue to lose my hair.

When I used meditation and other ancient healing tools to tune into what was really going on with my scalp, I quickly learned that it was a message about several relationships in my life that were no longer in alignment for me. I was attached to them but that was as far as they went. No longer empowering or helpful to my life, I needed to let them go or else my hair would let go of me.

Reflecting back over the years, its become glaringly obvious to me that my body has always been masterful at sending me messages whenever I've been spiritually misaligned. Spiritual symptoms have a habit of showing up in the physical.

For example,

When I broke my toe, it was because I was afraid of moving forward.

When I had hypothyroidism, it was because I was afraid to use my voice.

When I had meningitis, I wanted to know that my life had meaning.

(These are what's true for my life and my body; I'm not saying this is whats true for everyone else.)

Today, I'm happy to report my hair is the best it's ever been. It's back in full as I've continued to commit to and walk the path of healing. I'm so grateful for the life activation, the empower thyself course, and so many other ancient healing modalities that all opened a level of awareness I needed in order to better understand and heal myself.

Which leads me to the question for today...is there a spiritual symptom/symptoms showing up for you in your physical body? Are you struggling to feel well? If this is true for you, don't lose hope. There are tools available to help you to heal.

I know that as a result of the different physical issues I've faced, I've also received the benefit of becoming more compassionate, kind, and authentic as well. (Humbling experiences tend to make you more humble.)

Though my hair loss is no longer present today (see image above), what a gift it was to lose my hair in order to find more of my heart.
