Pain, Clues and Healing · Outcomes Worth Sharing
What if unexplained physical pain isn’t simply a problem to eliminate—but a clue asking to be understood?
Imagine this…
You have a pain in your chest.
Not one that interferes with everyday life. Instead, it exists in one very specific spot—a point that, when even slight pressure is applied, unleashes a lion-like roar of pain.
You’ve done the responsible thing.
You’ve been to the doctors. You’ve had it checked out.Major health concerns have been ruled out.
And yet…
The pain is still there.
Lingering. Persistent. Like a signal pointing toward something unresolved.
Now what?
This is where the mind-body connection becomes particularly interesting.
When Unexplained Physical Pain Becomes a Clue
When I met this healthy, fit young man for an InteriorWerx session, I suggested that we meet outside, in front of Chicago’s Lincoln Park Conservatory.
I wasn’t yet sure what emotional or energetic information we might encounter.
I wanted space.
Grounding.
Room for whatever needed to surface—and potentially be released.
I asked him not to tell me where the pain was located.
I prefer to see what information presents itself first.
I closed my eyes, connected to his body, and felt into the signal.
Then I placed my index finger directly on one particular point of his rib cage.
A loud, undeniable yell followed.
We had found it.
The body had given us the clue.
What Was the Pain Trying to Communicate?
As I held my finger on that point, an image appeared in my awareness—clear, vivid, and completely unexpected.
A scene from another time and place.
Two young men were jousting.
One rode a black horse with bright yellow and orange hair.
The other rode a white horse. The young man riding it had shiny black hair.
Strange.
Symbolic.
Precise.
As I stayed connected to the point of pain, the scene intensified.
The two young men appeared to be brothers. They charged toward one another with long, sharp poles aimed directly at each other’s bodies.
The man on the black horse struck first.
His pole pierced his brother’s chest—just beneath the armor.
The young man with the shiny black hair died instantly.
The outcome had been determined.
The family now had its new head.
What appeared to me was an ancient, medieval ritual used to determine power and leadership when the young men came of age.
But what did any of this have to do with the unexplained chest pain of the modern-day man sitting in front of me?
Why this image?
Why this particular point on his body?
And why now?
Then one detail became impossible to ignore.
The young man I was working with had shiny black hair.
The Unexpected Instruction
The information that came through during the session included a very specific instruction.
Afterward, he was to drink water infused with a large piece of Himalayan rock salt as part of completing the release.
It was unusual.
But InteriorWerx sessions have taught me not to dismiss information simply because it arrives in an unexpected form.
That very evening, he went to his bartending job.
And something remarkable happened.
One of his customers—without knowing anything about our session—handed him a gift.
Three large pieces of rock salt.
Exactly what he had just been told he needed.
He prepared the water and drank it.
But the story wasn’t finished.
The Final Clue
The following morning, he stepped outside his home and stopped.
There, on his front lawn...
was a dead bird.
And on its head were vivid markings of yellow and red.
The colors immediately reminded us of the figure on the black horse in the image from the previous day—the brother who had delivered the fatal blow.
He contacted me right away.
“What do I do with it?”
I directed him to reverently bury the bird with honor and respect.
Not to treat it simply as something unpleasant to discard, but to acknowledge what it represented within the experience he had just undergone.
For me, this was part of completing the energetic and emotional process that had unfolded during our session.
He followed through.
He buried the bird.
The cycle felt reconciled.
Closed.
Completed.
Released.
And most importantly for this modern-day man…
The pain in his chest was gone.
What If Your Body Isn’t the Problem?
Experiences like this are one of the reasons I have spent nearly two decades exploring the relationship between physical symptoms, emotional patterns, energy healing, and the mind-body connection.
Not every pain has a hidden emotional or energetic meaning, and unexplained or new physical pain should be medically evaluated.
But when appropriate medical evaluation has been completed and something continues to linger, I become curious.
What if the body isn’t the problem?
What if the body is the messenger?
At InteriorWerx, my work explores the clues that sometimes appear through the body and through recurring patterns in our lives.
Sometimes what feels purely physical may have an emotional component.
Sometimes an unresolved experience appears to be held in the body.
And sometimes the clues that emerge during intuitive coaching and energy healing are far more unexpected than anything the rational mind would have imagined.
The goal is not to chase every symptom.
It is to become curious about what the symptom may be communicating.
Because when the underlying issue is identified and resolved, the body may no longer need to communicate in the same way.
Is Your Body Giving You a Clue?
If something in your body or life keeps showing up…
A persistent discomfort. A recurring emotional reaction. Stress that never seems to fully resolve. A pattern you understand intellectually but still cannot seem to change.
Perhaps it isn’t random.
Perhaps it is information.
Perhaps it is ready to be explored.
I am here to help you investigate the emotional and energetic clues that may be asking for your attention—and discover what may be ready for resolution.
