The body knows before I do.\u00a0 I had another example of that this week.\u00a0 Like before I get a hot flash, I will have the thought in my head “hot flash”.\u00a0 I didn’t know that until I knew to look for it.\u00a0 Or if I am going to get indigestion, I know it because I feel compelled to take my neckchain off several hours before.\u00a0 When I get stressed, my body gets a hot red patch in a particular spot, which disappears as soon as the stress is gone.\u00a0 I only get it every few years.\u00a0 I get it even if I am not aware that I’m stressed.\u00a0 The last time it happened, it was in October 2006 when I did the Gateway Voyage at the Monroe Institute <\/a>.\u00a0 I was not feeling any stress at the time and was on a happy road trip with galpal Rev. Beth Head.<\/a> Suddenly the first night on the road, I notice it.\u00a0 It let me know that there would be stress going on.\u00a0 But I was on the week’s retreat for change, so I figured stress would be part of that.\u00a0 A few days later I had a breakthrough experience and within an hour the red patch was gone.\u00a0 It had done its part to convey its message.\u00a0 Then last week I got the red patch again!<\/p>\n

Two weeks ago I’d applied to refinance my mortgage<\/a>.\u00a0 It was a flurry of activity but none of it felt stressful and it all flowed fairly smoothly.\u00a0\u00a0 I wasn’t aware of feeling stressed about it.\u00a0 Then this week I got the hot red patch again – and that told me my body knew something I didn’t know.\u00a0 The next day I was told Wells Fargo could only refinance my first mortgage, and the day after that, they denied my refinance<\/a> altogether.\u00a0 I felt mentally relieved to have an answer, but the red patch did not go away.\u00a0 In fact it began looking like a rash and itching and wanting attention.\u00a0 That was my signal that whatever was stressing me had another step to go toward resolution.<\/p>\n

I meditated on it and got no big a-ha or brainstorm, so I pushed it to the back of my mind. Like Abraham-Hicks<\/a> says, don’t worry, if I ignore a message, it will get bigger until I get it<\/em>.\u00a0 It would have to get bigger if it wanted me to know what it was telling me.\u00a0 I went to the office and checked email, and sent a few emails to the insurance people, bank people, inspectors, appraisers and everyone who’d helped me the past two weeks.\u00a0 One of them wrote back suggesting I call a friend of his, who was a mortgage broker.\u00a0 I made the call and gave her all the info between Wells Fargo and I.\u00a0 That was Friday afternoon, so I don’t expect to hear back until next week.\u00a0 I don’t feel stressed about it.\u00a0 This morning the hot red patch was gone.\u00a0 My mysterious, tell-all stress indicator knows something I don’t know.\u00a0 I wonder what it is?*<\/p>\n

I guess it doesn’t really matter, does it?\u00a0 It’s all good news if I make it be.<\/p>\n
