A Lesson in Flexibility: Listening to the Message of My Knee
Happy New Year!
I’m Keiko, a Soul Level Animal Communicator®.
A few weeks ago, I suddenly noticed that I couldn’t bend my knee. It was very strange. I hadn’t fallen, and I hadn’t bumped my knee anywhere. I couldn’t understand why this was happening, and it was awful. Every time I sat down in a chair, I screamed in excruciating pain.
I began to reflect on what might have caused this.
That particular day, I had set out to accomplish two big tasks in the kitchen. My mindset was, "I need to get these done today." It wasn’t as if someone was forcing me, but I felt like I absolutely had to finish these tasks, no matter what.
As a result, I ended up standing in the kitchen for six or seven hours straight, without any breaks. And that’s when the knee pain started.
Looking back, I realized my posture was wrong too. I think I was putting too much pressure on my knee. I tend to do this when I push myself too hard – I unconsciously put force somewhere in my body.
Days passed, and I was still in pain.
One night, while lying in bed, I thought about the root cause of this knee pain. What message is my body trying to send me? I asked myself. What is the role of the knee? It bends and allows movement and flexibility.
And then it hit me.
I had become too rigid in many aspects of my life. I needed to be more flexible. That was the message my body was sending me.
This insight was so accurate. I realized I often get stuck in tunnel vision, thinking, I HAVE TO do this or that. Since having this epiphany, my knee has slowly started to improve.
Have you received a message from your body recently?
Love and Peace,
Keiko
