Is the Season the Reason for Your Pain?
Traumas are stored in our bodies.
When we don’t fully deal with them at the time, they resurface during the anniversary of the trauma.
We may not consciously remember the date, but the subconscious does.
And the body starts talking, trying to get your attention for healing that needs to be done - emotionally, energetically, and then physically.
Sometimes the season is the reason for your pain.
If you’ve been dealing with out-of-the blue pain, strange symptoms, or unexpected flare ups of disease, it might be a trigger from holidays gone by.

How to Feel Safe: Dealing With Anxiety by Creating Your Own Security and Peace of Mind
While you may feel that you cannot protect yourself, this is never true.
