Feeling good...

Feeling good and staying positive...

Easy to say, but oh so difficult to achieve when your heart, mind or body are suffering...

This July 2025 pushed me to my limits.

I have already experienced a lot of physical, emotional, psychological and even spiritual pain, but I had never broken down or cried out in pain like I did this July.

My lower back had already warned me in the past that I had been carrying a crushing burden for too long, but sciatica – taking root in that same lower back – left me with no choice but to believe that I would NOT be able to get over it in no time with the help of ointments and medication.

This sciatica forced me to listen to my body: it prevented me from resting or sleeping. The only thing I could do to calm it down was to walk... day and night... without respite... for a whole week (despite the prescribed painkillers)...

Sitting for more than half an hour was impossible, lying down was hellish...

At the end of the sixth day, I found myself on all fours, in the middle of the night, crying my eyes out... all those tears I had never cried and which had frozen, crystallised in my lower back.

Enough is enough...

Everything that is not expressed ends up, sooner or later, being imprinted on the body, and everything I had not expressed – since my earliest childhood – had chosen to freeze, for the most part, in my lower back...

Very strong painkillers eventually replaced the first ones, which had no effect, and taking them in very high doses finally relieved my pain. But this suffering triggered my reflection, my need to understand the root of this acute and incisive pain.

And as one thought led to another, the transgenerational component of this pain also became clear to me: my mother has suffered from lower body pain for a very long time, my father hardly ever takes off his lumbar belt (herniated discs causing him pain with astonishing regularity), and my two grandmothers (maternal AND paternal) spent their last years paralysed – their legs had stiffened and rigidified to the point where they could no longer support them.

So what?

Did I come into this world to carry this burden as my inheritance?

That is OUT OF THE QUESTION!

I categorically REFUSE to be the third generation to suffer such a yoke!

So, in addition to my medical follow-up with a general practitioner and a physiotherapist, I decided to give Natacha Calestreme's book a try: ‘The Key to Your Energy : 22 Steps to Rebuild Your Energy and Free Yourself Emotionally’ – a book that I had already come across, but whose urgent usefulness I had not yet realised.

I tell you all this not to make you feel sorry for me or pity me.

I just share my experience to show you that the saying ‘what is not expressed is imprinted’ is not just a witty remark: it is a FACT!

And what is imprinted on the body ends up, sooner or later, being expressed through pain... Pain that I would not wish on anyone.

Don't let unspoken words, repressed pain (of whatever kind), or swallowed tears (yours and those of the generations before you) take you hostage and prevent you from fully expressing the potential you came here to embody!

Don't allow that to happen!

That is all I wish for you!

So speak up!

Put your feelings into words!

And dare to reject destructive legacies,

Truly,

In kindness towards yourselves and towards others,

But firmly,

And fully aware of the wonderful and indispensable beings that you are in and for this world!

Take good care of yourselves,

F.
