Encore • Mindfulness and Chronic Illness • Accept What Is • Surrender and Be Free
Nichole Proffitt, mindfulness coach for women, somatic experiencing practitioner
Mindfulness and Chronic Illness:
Nichole Proffitt ( http://www.presencemindfulness.com/ ) had been
seriously practicing meditation for years when her first fibromyalgia
symptoms developed, and (plot-twist) meditation was making it all worse.
This isn’t an episode about traditional meditation and using it to heal
from illness. It’s an episode about accepting what is, seeking out
your truth, surrendering to your truth, and then being willing to let
go… of everything. The closer Nichole got to her absolute truth
( whether that truth was that she couldn’t hang out with toxic people
anymore, or eat her favorite foods, or stay up past 10pm
even though she’s always been a night owl) and the more she surrendered
to them, the healthier and happier she has become. She said, “These
truths, as hard as they are to come by, and even harder to live by, are
what give me back my life… the years, relationships, friendships, jobs
and everything I have lost.” THIS is mindfulness and chronic illness.

Weekly Challenge:
Ask yourself deeper questions and become open to your own deeper
answers. What a doozy, huh? This may seem totally overwhelming. Often,
it’s those deep—DEEP—answers that we are trying to avoid so that we can
hang on tightly to our own visions. But, this week, gently try to go
inward, listen just a little closer, and allow small parts of your truth
to emerge. Tune in to the episode to hear more about how to actually do
this. Follow me @sheajackie for weekly challenge updates and more
wellness fun.
