Listen now, to have a better connection with your body and learn how to be healthy.
Hello everyone and welcome. I’m Jennifer Urezzio. This is a SuperPowers of the Soul and I am a superpower expert and founder of Soul Language. And today we’re talking with Dr. Meg Haworth. And the subject and the topic is called Being Healthy. Hello, Dr. Meg.
Hey, thanks for having me today.
I’m so excited. I think especially spiritual people tend not to really focus on truly being healthy until they have to. I think we’re so used to focusing within that we don’t focus on the overall, the whole package. So I’m excited that you’re here today.
Yeah. Thanks.
You’re welcome. And I always like to start with the main question that I truly care about, which is what do you consider a superpower of your soul?
Intuition.
I love it.
Yeah. Intuition is the top, but it’s intuition paired with healing.
Nice.
Yeah. Those two things really come together for me.
Beautiful. So, there’s a lot of material out there about purpose and mission. And so often when I ask people their purpose, they go right out into, “I’m here to support this group of people. I’m here to support that group of people.” And what I really mean by sacred purpose here is what you’re profoundly here to experience. And then through that experience you can share that with others. With that definition in mind, what do you consider your sacred purpose?
Yeah, well, it’s first to learn and then to teach and to heal. So again, those things being paired together because everything that I have done in my life has been in regards to that, into healing and teaching.
Nice.
Yeah.
And so how did that kind of purpose, how does it show up in the work that you do out in the world?
Well, my niche is I work with women abuse survivors with chronic illness, offering holistic wellness solutions for them. So I do a combination of nutrition, mind, body medicine and transpersonal psychology. Which is spiritual psychotherapy to help people heal what’s at the bottom of their story, and where it’s located in the body.
So in other words that trauma, not just stress, is actually then physically manifested itself through the body?
Yeah. I always say that the body always remembers what you’re trying to forget. So the body has its own mind, and it’s called the body mind. And it makes up its mind about events that happened in your life to your own intellectual capacity that says, “Oh, I’m over that, or I’m past that.” But your body might not be. And the way it talks to us is it’s reflecting back to us in disease, in aches and pains and illness, and tightness, and soreness, and all kinds of symptoms that come up.
Yeah. Well, we’re going to get a little deeper into that after the break, but what has been a common theme that your soul has shared with you throughout your journey?
It’s been healing through experience, personal experiences. And for me that those started early on. I mean, the reason I work with women abuse survivors is because I’m one. And I went through sexual, physical and emotional abuse as a child. Date rape, sexual assault as a teenager. And then eventually developed all these diseases, actually diseases. I started those in my twenties. So I was in and out of doctor’s offices the whole time and had over a dozen illnesses. Eventually fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome and IBS, ulcers and migraines. I was just a physical wreck.
And so my soul kept giving me these experiences of illness, of difficult relationships reflecting back to me and the abuse. And it just kept sharing these things with me. And this was what became my purpose, because it was the thing that I needed to heal. If I had sat in the middle of those traumas and illnesses, I would not be on the planet today. I’m sure of it. But because I chose not to and I chose to heal them all, that’s what happened. A real, and I did it by following the directives of my soul.
Right.
It was my soul that showed me all of this.
Yeah. So it was kind of this tug of war, right? The soul says you’re whole and complete. You can be whole and complete. You can experience wholeness and completeness. Right now you’re not. The trauma has been showing up in your body. Let me lead you, guide you, show you the possibility of that. And that leads to the next stepping stone, which, maybe a diagnosis was finally reached. Which, that led to another stepping stone and another stepping stone.
And I think so often, there’s this misunderstanding that, people use the words like the soul is crying out. And I’m thinking, oh, no, no. The soul is complete, right? That’s this interpretation between what the soul is saying and what the body is saying. And I think this really understanding of the weaving and the connection between the two is critical to see the wholeness and completeness here.
Yeah, absolutely. Yeah. And I love that you said that the soul is crying out. It’s like, no, your body’s crying out. Your personality is crying out. The mental, the emotional, the physical. Those things are crying out for help.
Yeah. And I think so often, I think people don’t have the… All those things are from another consciousness time, right? And so the goal here, it sounds like as well, is really about being conscious with the body as it is with you. Because once you’ve acknowledged that, you can start the healing of the cells in motion and get the body on board with remembering it’s whole and complete.
Exactly. Exactly. Yeah. Because it, the body knows what to do. You just have to give it what it needs.
It doesn’t have free will, right?
Yeah.
Yeah. Before we break, let everyone know how to get in touch with you.
Yeah. You can find me on the web at MegHaworth.com.
Beautiful. Okay, everyone, stay tuned because we’re going to come back and our subject today is Being Healthy.
