I am grateful for the experience of Lyme. It sounds backwards, but Lyme was the blessing that set me free. It set me free from my old ways of being, unhelpful beliefs, and limitations. I am grateful for the healing tools I learned during the healing process: a new way to use homeopathy, herbs and plants, nutrition and healing with foods, vibrational healing and subtle energy alignment, energy medicine, lightwork, prayer and meditation, mindfulness, and gratitude.
I am so grateful to be healed and I know that if it happened for me, it can happen for anyone, whatever the chronic disease name may be. Accepting life’s challenges and pain with gratitude and curiosity can allow us to open up and receive the grace of healing which I believe is truly offered to everyone who chooses to receive.
Things I learned in the school of Lyme:
1. Listen to the wisdom of the body.
2. Gifts are not always wrapped in pretty packages – sometimes the best gifts of all are in a crumpled paper bag. Gratitude for all things brings true peace and joy.
3. Letting go of the life we planned allows us to accept the better life that is waiting for us; life is a continual process of doing this over and over again. Strength is found when we EMBRACE the constant changes of life instead of pushing against them.
4. I can live without the things I always thought I could not live without – and life without them is better than life with them! True joy is found in letting go of what we think we need, so we can accept the best things.
5. Symptoms are not punishment, but doorways to truth, learning, healing and freedom.
6. God really is LOVE, really is HERE, and really does HEAL.
7. There are no limits except those we place on ourselves. Life conforms to our beliefs. If we belive we are sick and hold onto “the diagnosis” – whatever label it is – we will keep getting more of the same. If we believe we can heal, then we CAN. Healing, living, loving and the love of the Divine have no limits, none at all.
8. “We hold the past in our body – let it dissolve.” ~~ Baron Baptiste ~~ The past can dissolve when we choose love, forgiveness, gratitude, and truth. But we have to really choose it at the deepest level, really choose it in not only thought, but in the fabric that weaves through our life.
9. We are all here in the world with a Divine plan, a soul purpose.
10. I am here, and so are you, to make a difference. There is no better time than now.
Blessings,
Jenice
Our Soul can speak to us through symptoms. Our symptoms are trying to wake us up and send us a message. Once we figure out the message, our symptoms can resolve.
In our busy, stress-filled world, we desire for our symptoms to just go away. We use modern pharmaceuticals – like Ibuprofen, for example — to make this wish come true (albeit temporarily). Ultimately, this keeps us from hearing the message our Soul is trying to communicate and only leads to more chronic issues.
The next time you experience a physical symptom, consider taking a new approach. Take a deep breath and send yourself love and forgiveness. Listen to your life and the wisdom of your body.
Allow your body to speak to you before you reach for a medicine that will block the unpleasant feeling. Allow yourself to feel your emotions. Figure out the message your Soul is sending you through: energy healing, prayer, meditation, learning to love, forgiving yourself and others, seeking truth, and quieting the mind and the opinions of others.
Honor the messages that your body is sending and you can live a more joyful life.
Blessings,
Jenice
“We are all visitors to this time, this place. We are just passing through. Our purpose here is to observe, to learn, to grow, to love… and then we return home.”

“I have decided to be happy, because it is good for my health.”
-Voltaire
“If I told patients to raise their blood levels of immune globulins or killer Tcells, no one would know how. But if I can teach them to love themselves and others fully, the same change happens automatically. The truth is: Love heals.”
-Bernie Siegel, MD
“Listen to your life. See it for the fathomless mystery that it is. In the boredom and pain of it no less than in the excitement and gladness; touch, taste, smell your way to the holy and hidden heart of it because in the last analysis all moments are key moments, and life itself is grace.”
-Frederick Buechner
