Did you ever wonder what would happen if you woke up one day and your ankle bone was missing, and you got up and tried to walk?  Or perhaps the thigh bone went off on vacation?  Well, to be honest, me neither.  But obviously, each component of our skeletal structure is critical to the overall functioning of our body.  Believe it or not, the same concept applies to human energy within our own body and lives.

An energy blockage or breakdown in one key-life area will cripple you in another, usually several if not all areas.   Without a total understanding of how one area affects the other, it is easy to become a ‘repeat offender’ in one of our energy fields (key-life areas) and not realize that it is the cause of a failure in another.  It makes me think of that cliché definition of mental illness:  repeating the same actions over and over expecting different results.  This was common place with clients in the past and, perhaps, I may have been guilty of it myself.

As a young college girl, I began having severe anxiety attacks and ended up in the

ER one time yet refused the medication for fear of becoming addicted.  (Thank God!)  But my step-mother was convinced that it was my diet.   That sounded preposterous and her advice was discarded.  It didn’t make any sense to an 18-year-old how not eating all day, drinking 6-8 cups of coffee, and drinking wine at night could have this affect.  After all, these are two very different things!  So, for the next few years, I ‘white knuckled’ my way through life until an article about blood sugar and anxiety came across my path and peeked my interest to learn everything I could.  It became evident that the major cause of my anxiety was my diet, not some traumatic childhood event (and yes there was a few) as I had thought.  After years of struggling, a change of diet, eating proteins or complex carbs every two to three hours per day, cutting out caffeine for a while (later reintroducing it in half the amount and with food) and cutting out processed sugars and foods pretty much cured it.  The only residual effects were getting used to my new normal – expecting anxiety and panic but it not being there and behaving in ways to avoid it when there was no longer a need to do so.

Years ago, a couple on the brink of divorce came in for relationship issues. Their sex life had stopped, and they no longer had the intimacy in their communication that drew them together.  The more we talked it was evident that they were still deeply in love and their relationship – in and of itself – was fine.  We began sifting through their other key-life areas.  We soon found that the woman’s brother was living there at her request and refused to work or contribute in any way.  They didn’t want to throw him out on the street, so they tolerated it, though it caused a great deal of stress and extra work on their part and on average, cost about $300 more per month to have him there.  At the same time, they were struggling financially yet were paying for extensive cable TV and programming that cost nearly $200 per month. 

Both husband and wife agreed that the finances were taking a toll on their marriage and that having the brother there was an added stress that they did not need.  They promptly evicted him (and ironically, he had a full-time job two weeks later and more than ten years later is still there and has moved up in the company).  They also got rid of cable TV – that was when you could still get basic channels.  The agreed to take the extra $500 and start a bank account, which they did and within two months, small emergencies were no longer were major issues because they could afford to address them as they arose and move on.  Two years later, they had over $10,000 more in their bank account than they would have.  Their sex-life revved back up and they began to see how being on the same page about each key-life area and clearing out what wasn’t serving and nurturing them, and their family, spilled over into all of their key-life areas – manifesting most in the relationship side. Over ten years later, they are doing well and thriving.  The relief they experienced in their relationship stress was immediate and they were amazed to discover that something that seemed unrelated and so simple could resolve a deep rift between them so quickly.

So, when you are experiencing chaos or drama in your life in any form, you will

need to look at all key-life areas because, sometimes, the culprit is two bones down.  Remember, the foot bone is connected to the ankle bone.  The ankle bone’s connected to the leg bone.  The leg bone’s connected to the thigh bone!  So be sure all of your bones are balanced and clear of negative energy.
