The Healing Power of Letting Go

I can feel another migraine coming up. I don’t have my medicine with me so it will hit me full force in couple of hours. I go outside to heal myself. I walk in the forest and the wind is very cold, it’s fall – Time of letting go. The phase of the moon and my cycle both match the season. I ask my body what it needs. What do I need to let go? And I start talking out loud, letting go of all these things my body asks me to. I lay down on the forest ground under a tree and close my eyes taking deep breaths and finally letting go of the migraine too. When I open my eyes and see the tree tops high above me I feel free.
