Chronic illness is trauma embodied. It’s FEAR. Unraveling the fear from our biology by calming the amygdala in any number of possible ways is the healing process.
An example, for me, migraine (splitting headache) represents early split in the psyche. Now so ingrained into the physical the unraveling of it is enormous… Trauma embeds itself…both intergenerationally (via epigenetics) and by whatever we incur in this life-time as individuals. When we unravel it we heal.
This is the reason shamanistic traditions work with the ancestors…they have understood the nature of epigenetics for millennia.
