Our illnesses should always be seen as a health opportunity! 12 years ago I stood over a toilet bowl looking at my self induced vomit after purging on thousands of calories. It was a ritual I knew all too well. The shame I felt for having a beautiful body ran deep
—
How dare I look the way I did
How dare I be proud of the way I looked and felt
How dare I hit the gym every day and put time and effort into my health.
I’m conceited
I don’t fit in
I’m too much yet not enough
—
I said a prayer that night
I asked God to take away the urge to purge
I invited God to sit with me next to a toilet full of vomit. I promised God I would do good work in this world if he would give me the key to unlock the cure to my mind being riddled with guilt and shame over my body.

I let go of my bulimia that night
But I never released the shame —
Recently I was woke to the realization there are still tiny fragments of shame inside of my mind, Embedded in my heart & creating walls in my life
—
A reoccurring skin issue emerged 2months ago☹️It is irritating, debilitating & quite embarrassing for me
—
A way to ward off intimacy
Covering my body in layers
Shying away from truly sharing myself with others out of the embarrassment of this skin issue being seen
—
I hid
I cried
then...my heart cracked open deeper
Then the knowledge in the gifts poured in
—
Had I not had bulimia I would have never adopted a #plantbased lifestyle. I would’ve never taught others how to #detox their bodies on a cellular level. I would’ve never started my first channel and I would’ve never written my books

I sat this morning #meditating on Gods love in FULL ON self acceptance. I invited the #healing energy in. I saw that my #bulimia worked as a teacher and my #psoriasis flares are a clear sign of #divineprotection Illuminating illusions shielding me from anything that is not honest and true.
I wrote this prayer⬇️ for all of us
May we release pain w/o getting caught up in stories or history. May we have compassion for our own suffering as we release w/peace & love. May we be lifted by our luminous beauty inside our hearts up to peace. May we feel rapture & excitement rather than fear & doubt as we grow
