Illness as a Teacher, Not an Enemy

When I first found the lump in my breast, everything in me tensed. The fear, the uncertainty—it was all there. And when they told me it wasn’t cancer, I felt relief. But then came the but. It’s still ugly. They still want to remove it. Just in case.
That’s when it hit me. Illness—whether big or small, whether a passing thing or something life-altering—isn’t just something to fight. It’s something to learn from. A teacher. A guide. A mirror reflecting back everything I’ve neglected, everything asking for my attention.
Instead of asking, How do I beat this? I started asking, What is this trying to show me? What have I been avoiding? What needs to change?
And slowly, I understood. My body isn’t betraying me—it’s speaking to me. The tightness in my chest, the fatigue, the heaviness in my heart… they aren’t random. They are messages. They are asking me to realign, to release, to heal—not just physically, but emotionally and spiritually too.
This shift in perspective has been everything. Seeing illness as a teacher rather than an enemy transforms the entire healing process. It invites curiosity instead of fear, presence instead of resistance.
Through Reiki, I’ve been reconnecting with my own energy. Through Shaolin breathwork, I’ve felt the tides of life moving through me, showing me where I’ve been blocked and where I can open again. It’s not always easy. But every time I surrender to the process, I hear my body more clearly. I feel its wisdom.
This is also part of the HeartGlo mentality. Illness exists at a much lower vibration, but through the vibration of love, we can rise above it. Love is the highest frequency, the force that realigns us with health, with balance, with life itself. When we tap into that frequency, healing becomes possible.
Your body is always speaking. When illness arises, it’s like a message written in a language that asks to be understood—not silenced or suppressed.
So now, I ask myself: What is my body teaching me today?
