In honor of breast cancer awareness month, I encourage you to honor your breasts.

I am forever encouraging people to listen to their bodies and honor their bodies by giving them what they need.  Well what about our breasts?  I know. You get your yearly breast exam by your doctor.  You give yourself a monthly breast self-exam, right?  More than likely you do not because not many women do.  Why?

Dr. Christiane Northrup in “Women’s Bodies, Women’s Wisdom” says the following:

“Women’s reluctance (even female nurses and doctors who are supposed to know better) to do breast self-exams is rooted in two things:

1. Fear about what you’re going to find

2. Innate inner guidance that knows that making a breast exam into a ‘search and destroy’ mission is not only counterproductive, it may even be harmful.

By the law of attraction, that which we focus on tends to expand.  So who in their right mind would consciously approach their breasts every month thinking, ‘cancer’?”

Ok, let’s have an honest moment.  Seriously, are you afraid to touch your breasts for fear of what you might find? Some women don’t even want to look at their breasts.  And for some it’s possible to carry emotionally charged issues, like shame, that contributes to ignoring this part of the body.  With that, it’s time to let go!

Ladies, I encourage you to honor your breasts and by doing so you will set into motion a sense of freedom and promote healthy breasts.

Below are a few steps you can take to begin to honor your breasts:

1. Give your breasts positive energy.  Notice what your self-talk is around this area of your body.  Is it negative, berating, neglect?  Notice and if it’s anything but positive, stop, and then change the negative into something positive.

2. Look at your breasts.  It’s ok! And be kind to them.

3. Touch them!  Again, it’s ok!  In a loving way become familiar with your own breasts.

4. I highly encourage you to understand your breasts and learn a lymphatic massage that will promote healthy breasts.  It will send  healing and positive energy to them.  Click on the following link:

Self Care For Your Breasts

As Christiane Northrup said, “By the Law of attraction, that which we focus on tends to expand.”  Because of that I prefer to focus on breast health rather than breast cancer.  I don’t check my breasts each month for cancer rather each time I shower I honor my breasts by performing a self-care breast massage described at the above website.

Because of this massage technique, I am very familiar with my breasts and I’m able to notice if there are any kind of changes.  I also send positive energy, thoughts, and love to that area of my body, which promotes healthy breasts.  You can too!

Beautiful woman, I encourage you to honor your breasts!
