Expression

I noticed that I’ve been getting a sore throat almost every time I had a friend come visit me this summer and last summer. It didn’t happen once or twice. It keeps happening. I can count 6 times in the last 2 years. The exact same circumstances. My friends come for a visit for the weekend and I come down with a sore throat the day before they get there and have to rest. I had to ask myself, what is that all about? According to Louise Hay, in her book “You can Heal Your Life” http://www.louisehay.com a sore throat means we are not expressing something we need to say. I still don’t know if I understand exactly what I’m not expressing, but I do know there is something to it. I noticed that I get a little tense because my husband does something that doesn’t work for me when my friends are around. At this point, I’m not sure exactly how to express what it is that he does, but now that I am aware that there is a correlation, maybe I can pay more attention to what it is if it happens again, in order to figure out what’s happening with me. I believe the only truly unhealthy emotions are those you don’t express but I need to delve deep to figure it out before I can express it. There are some exercised in her book that I could do that may help me figure it out. I’ve done them in the past when I’ve had colds or allergies that stick around for too long and it seems that all my symptoms clear up a few hours after having done the exercises. Next time you feel something coming on, I urge you to take a look at her book and see if anything happens for you.
