Your Timing is Divine
There is a little joke among a lot of my homeopathic colleagues that very often, the healing that we are experiencing personally as practitioners, are often the experiences are clients are having. We like to say “it must be in the field” — a reference to the energetic field around us. When we come in contact with other beings, we enter their field, they enter ours. That contact creates an effect.
Something that I have noticed is in the field — mine and in the lives of those around me — is this concept of having space to heal. This phenomenon that when we finally have space free from distraction, free from busy-ness, we experience deeper healing. Sometimes we are able to create this space for ourselves, sometimes it comes spontaneously, often in the manner of acute illness or flareups of the a more chronic or “constitutional” state.
For me, I have noticed for nearly a year, I kept saying “I need some space to slow down” or “I need some space to just be.” And at the time, I couldn’t really tell you the deeper reason that I was craving space. Maybe life felt too busy, or too fast, but I was getting this constant, nagging desire to be alone, and clear out a bunch of space to just be with myself.
January into March are usually my hibernation months. I think it can feel this way for many of us. Life slows down naturally after the holidays, it’s cold, we are spending more time indoors. This particular January, I had very little to do and so I answered the call to rest. I eliminated my social media as a distraction, I slept a lot, I read books, I didn’t do a lot of painting, I saw my clients leisurely. But there wasn’t much else happening.
In this space, I started to experience the joy of doing nothing, of true rest, of creating a bit more freely. I started writing again, my painting started to go through a little renaissance. And then suddenly, seemingly out of nowhere, I had a pain flareup. A bad one.
The first couple days this happened I was completely confused. I kept thinking it was so random and strange until I was on my couch one evening, in the quiet, dark, and I made the connection. This is an anniversary.
19 years ago, I experienced a very difficult trauma. One that would change the way I moved in the world for the rest of my life. At the time, I was 18. I did not have the tools or any of the support I needed to heal from this. So I did what most humans do. I survived it. About ten years later, I was in a very different phase of my life, but still experiencing a lot of chronic pain and fatigue, depression, and it was in this point that I started to connect the dots between this trauma and all of the physical and mental-emotional suffering I was living with.
I thought that knowing this connection was healing. I thought the mental knowledge and awareness was the way to releasing it. If I understood myself, if I could explain why I was the way I was, if I could see all my patterns, then I was healed.
It wasn’t until February of 2026 that I consciously became aware that true healing does not come from mentally understanding our human suffering. Yes, it is a step in the process, but our bodies have to process it too.
So here I was, having this revelation nearly two decades later that I never physically or emotionally processed a physical trauma. That every time my chronic pain would flare, it was my body trying to tell me, “this pain has not been processed.” The emotions and physical symptoms are very different than the mental plane of consciousness. There is no reasoning involved, no logic. Emotions are purely instinctual, spontaneous, they are something that help us figure out how to respond to our surroundings. Sometimes we suppress them in order to get through life. What I have found is that when those emotions are suppressed over a long period of time, this is when the body speaks through sensation and symptom.
This experience was not something I planned. Not at all. And in all honesty, I don’t think I was ready to truly be with this experience that I had at 18 until now. Sometimes the body is just ready to process our suffering, to integrate it, and then let it go.
I’ll be honest, it took some time and it required me to have a lot of grace for myself. I grieved more than I ever have in my life. I felt a LOT of rage that I was never able to express back then. I screamed in my car. I remembered part of my life that I had blocked out to survive. I took lots of walks. I comforted myself. I tuned in constantly to see what my body and my emotions needed. None of it was pretty, but it was very necessary, and I could feel with every expression, the pain starting to leave me.
Very often when I talk to my clients about their symptoms and we sit and we give those symptoms all our attention, tears come, anger comes forward, fears are realized and we just allow space for these things to arise whether we can make sense of them or not. Then I ask them “how do you feel now?” And nearly every single time, they say “You know what? It’s gone.” This is what happens when we give our pain all of our attention, when we allow our emotions to be expressed without suppression or judgement, when we give them space to breathe. Sometimes we spontaneously start to heal.
I write this to you not to hustle you into the healing process, but to hopefully inspire the opposite. I want you to trust your life. To trust the energy that runs through your whole being. Because it is wise, it knows exactly what it is doing to support you. Sometimes the healing isn’t moving along because we’re just not in a place in our lives where we are ready or we have the space to allow for it.
Which brings me to a little something I say to myself that helps me trust that my body knows what its doing…
All timing is Divine.
My body is an extension of the Divine.
Therefore, my body’s timing is Divine.
What I hope you take from this is the message that we heal when we are truly ready to be with our suffering. Sometimes the body knows this better than the mind. Your timing is perfect, and you are exactly where you need to be.
