I love this topic. I spent so many years as you did on exam tables with my hoo-ha exposed that it became routine. I’m totally in gratitude about how much better I feel.

I had my first colonsocopy today (the joys of being 50!). So had the other side of my hoo-ha exposed. I had been dreading this day for years when my pelvic pain was real bad. So I definitely worked some thoughts around that this week. I did know that I could totally do this now and be okay. Even better, I intentionally went into it today with a sense of adventure and open-heartedness (and some nervousness). I decided to be open in my heart with the nurses and doctor. As a result I had a really nice connection with him. As we discussed past surgeries I’d had I got to tell him that in the last few years I am so much better and that the pain was just from muscle tension caused by stress. I told him how I worked with you over the phone and that I so impressed that I am in life coach training now. He wanted to me contact him about this as his irritable bowel patients could use this and I had a business card handy to give him.

It so works to regularly come back to gratitude and that warm heart-space feeling. I’m really getting that and practicing it. Thanks so much!
