Although I dont formally observe Yom Kippur, on this day my body always remembers all of the ancestors that did throughout the ages. Yesterday I had every discomfort that I can think of, beginning with extreme pain and throbbing in my spine, hip and knees, heart muscle, lungs, throbbing intestines, ovaries and uterus, indigestion, muscle twitching, fatigue, stuffy/runny nose and severe headache. It always presses me to take stock of my life and how I can live better. Where am I NOT allowing the well-being that is my birth right? More faith, yoga, meditation and self care. Less self doubt and self denial, etc. etc. Refraining from APATHY or self indulgent negative feelings, no matter how uncomfortable my body feels; refraining from doing and saying anything to anyone that makes me feel icky later on. My Jewish ancestors dont want me to forget any of their ailments and sufferings and remind me that my life has been a relative fairy tale in comparison to most of their lives. This morning I felt much, much better and the rain let me know that lifetimes of ancestral discomfort are being cleansed away. Their suffering doesnt have to be MY suffering anymore.
