Gratitude Is…

There is so much said and written about gratitude. Here’s what is coming through in my heart about it right now:

Gratitude is being aware of the magnificence that you are and seeing that same magnificence everywhere you look.

Gratitude is forgiving who you are, where you live, what you did or do just because you can.

Gratitude is unconditional love, seeing beauty and potential everywhere you look.

Gratitude is becoming an ally to your deepest shadows, your challenges and all your wounds, and thanking them for contributing to your aliveness.

Gratitude is knowing that no one who ever lived had access to this much information, this many tools and teachers ever in their lives. You get to create your own healing toolbox just the way you like.

Gratitude is taking a step back and becoming aware of your patterns, loving the beauty of how life operates, choosing new life-affirming vibrations with every breath.

Gratitude is self-healing, knowing your worth, knowing everyone and every being’s worth.

Gratitude surrounds you if you know where to look.

Gratitude is infectious.

Hope you get to spread gratitude like confetti this holiday season.

With love, light, and gratitude,

Damla

Melanie Weller – Vagus Nerve And Healing With Stories

In this Conversations With Healers episode, my guest is Melanie Weller, Physical Therapist, Board-Certified Orthopedic Clinical Specialist, Certified Athletic Trainer, Certified Exercise Expert For Aging Adults and vagus nerve and human body story-teller and expert. I have found her approach of looking for stories within the body fascinating. Melanie and I talked about:

  • Her story of owning her intuition and adding it to her clinical practice,
  • How Melanie began to recognize the stories, myths, elements of astrology, and imagery within the anatomy of the body,
  • How the stories of our bodies are expressed in the cosmos (like a fractal) and vice versa,
  • The role that the vagus nerve plays in our well-being and how to work with it to return to alignment,
  • The story of Osiris and Isis, and how sometimes we need to fall apart to be reborn in a new way,
  • And much more.

My favorite healing nugget from Melanie is “Using stories for healing is like speaking to your body in its original language. It is literally how the cosmos is coded into us and how we are a fractal of the cosmos.”

You can find out more about Melanie and her work at her website, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and LinkedIn. Melanie is offering a free Vagus Nerve Decompression Course that teaches you how to bring wellness to this important body channel. Check her website and social media for updates on her book release.
