Resolving constipation in my toddler - addressing internal blocks
My own family is my best case study! I am sharing with you here a recent example of how I navigate the wellbeing in my family unit. It shows how things function beyond the surface and how they can be addressed by you.
A couple of weeks ago, my son woke up in the morning and said he had a bad dream about "getting lost, and then losing my friend." He was very upset. The thing is, he actually 'lost a friend', a boy his age who he had met a little while ago and spent some time bonding and having fun.
I would send a message to this boy's mom for them to meet up and play. Suddenly, we stopped hearing back from them. I wondered what had happened. I couldn't quite explain it or explain it to my son. Background information is that I am a little used to this... It is something I have to deal with and learn to get really masterful at. It can get tough being around me for long periods of time. It can feel like too much. It can trigger stuff to bubble up or be confronting. This is often subtle until it isn’t and it gets chaotic. This has nothing to do with me actively doing anything. This is just through presence. So, whoever we spend time with, even if it’s the librarian we talk to, it's often limited in some way or form (not by our choice - life will orchestrate it).
Anywho, constipation is almost always an emotional response, especially in babies and children. Healing happens from the inside out, always, energy first, body follows. There is always perfection in how healing occurs. I always say to my clients: “There is nothing to fix” - life will conspire and bring about the moment when we are ready to receive its pearl.
When I opened space for this healing, holding my son in my arms crying about his belly ache, it came to me that he is trying to process rejection. I thought, how odd, because it seemed about him at first... Now, the truth is that our children work as one with us mothers. It is never their issue. It's always ours.
What had happened here? I felt this boy's mama rejection of me. I was too much for her. My light, my radiance, triggered. I knew this but hadn't acknowledged it. I subconsciously transferred it to my son, and he experienced rejection/loss from his friend. He tried to process it for me, but it resulted in a block (constipation). Why? Because I needed to get the insight and release my own emotion.
So during this healing, as I released the emotion, my son’s tummy started rumbling, things were moving. He was ready to go potty, all gently and easily. After weeks of on off rock-hard ... 💩.
Our child symbolises that innocent light in us. In this scenario, that was what was rejected in me. Your inner family is your inner world, and to heal anything, is to approach it in this way. Knowing your family unit to be a reflection of your vast self and your subpersonalities, the inner child within is one of them. I am a wild medicine woman. This is what I am here to do and share and am passionate about helping you do for yourself and your family, too. Take charge and answer your life's initiations.
