It happened the day before the Freedom Festival. In fact, and I was on the way to have my eyelashes filled. All of this was so ordinary. As usual when driving I assess my beliefs and emotional state. Immediately I had a negative belief that popped up, quite forcefully.
NB: “I hate my stomach.”
What? Where did that come from? When I started doing the steps of Breakthrough Therapy I found that it originated from middle school pre-algebra. I remember sitting so carefully trying to not be noticed, holding in my gut so tight. I looked down at my stomach and thought, “I hate you.”
We talk to our body all the time. Usually it is with hate and disgust. There I was at most a size six, and I hated my own guts. If I couldn’t love myself then, how could I through three 50 lb pregnancy weight gains, and any physical development past 40.
I continued the breakthrough and learned:
1) Satan wanted to destroy my body
2) God designed me perfectly for what I needed to learn on Earth
3) That I have treated my core terribly
4) That I honestly love my stomach, gut, extra tire, or core
How did I go from hate to love?
I realized what our core really is:
1) It is a spiritual guidance system. Have you ever heard someone say, “I felt it in my gut,” or “Something about it made me feel queasy.” If you hate your gut, how can you trust your gut?
2) It is a filter system. Everything passes through our core, it saves our lives daily sorting out all harmful elements and even providing fat to encapsulate the toxins. A sure sign of love is cellulite that protects our organs, so we can continue to function no matter the mental and physical abuse that we dump on ourselves.
3) It is the source of energy for our entire life. It processes all nutrients and gifts us with the ability to do everything we do.
4) It creates life: Women and men both have the components to create life. This amazing ability, at what ever state (age, malfunction, etc) especially needs love. Our society is very twisted about this gift.
Essentially our gut is the core of our being. Physically and Spiritually it is the center of each life. How can we hate that? And if we do, we end up stuffing our intuition with food instead of listening, or treating our core as disgusting or an object. Revere your core, treat it’s powers with respect and care.
From that very ordinary moment, driving, I have loved my core. For the first time since pre-algebra, I loved the core of who I am. This has led, to me listening to my core, taking care of my core, and talking to my core.
No longer do I think, “I hate you,” instead I say out loud, “I love you. I am sorry for abusing you. What do you really want and need?” and “thank you for taking care of me.”
Three days after this experience I told my core, “I am listening to you now.” The utterly relieved and sarcastic response I received back was, “Finally, it’s about time.”
Isn’t it about time we listen? Some say the core is the center of all medical and mental issues, I say if it is the problem it can also be the center of all healing.
Follow me on this journey. I’ll be detailing how to listen, receive, and honor the core of who you are.
