YIKES!!! MY ITCHY BREAST!

My friend walked into work one morning, a little tired, a little grumpy for her usually joyful self. As she held her left breast (a gnm clue!) she said “My boob has been itching like crazy all night... (another clue) Like, nonstop—I want to rip it right off! I probably should go get it checked but I don’t have time today” 

She didn’t make it to the doctor that day — She made it to me.

And thankfully, I’ve spent the last decade diving deep into Germanic Healing Knowledge (GNM/GHK), where symptoms are no longer seen as something wrong with the body — but instead, as something so right. A biological resolution, in motion.

We stood in a private room as I asked her if she wanted to understand the GNM perspecitve.. She had be learning a bit, so said "YES, I DO!" I simply asked if anything had happened yesterday that "just got good".

She didn’t miss a beat and said “Yes, Yesterday I finally had enough and I lost it toward my mother!”

She explained that After six months of a daily situation with her mom, she just wanted her “off her breast!” 

That moment of blowing up? That was the resolve… it put my beautiful friend into healing phase A and her left breast began to adapt and heal. That relentless itching was simply the tissue restoring itself during the (not so fun) peak of healing or Epi Crisis.

Not a disease. Not a danger. Just healing. And the next symptoms are predictable!

I let her know that now that the itchiness has subsided, she will get “zings” every - so - often in the next few days/possibly weeks as the tissue scarifies. She will be really tired today and possibly a bit tomorrow. I gave her the day off and encouraged her not to tell anyone about this…"people can panic you, and make you second guess. As long as this makes sense to you, and you know I am a phone call away!

She cried and said "yes!"

I encouraged her to go home and just take care of whatever needs that comes up… eat/sleep/drink what your intuitive self says! Let the wave pass through and trust your body.

But here's the deeper question:

Could that simple pause — that awareness, that day off — have actually saved her life?

Because I’ve seen what happens when we don’t pause. When symptoms are feared. When they’re rushed into systems that only ask, “What’s wrong?”

— not “What’s happening?”

I Think of Falicia

Twelve years of her life were consumed by a diagnosis that snowballed: A small lump. A needle biopsy. A terrifying label. And then a cascading avalanche of fear-based decisions that led her further and further from her intuition — and deeper into despair. 

By the time she found Germanic Healing Knowledge, she had endured surgery, chemo, radiation, infertility, and hundreds of thousands of dollars in both medical and alternative treatments — chasing health through a lens of panic.

But what if her lump had been a clue? What if someone had stopped her right there and said, “Let’s talk about what is  happening in your life?” “What stressors are going on…did your life just get good?

Would her journey have looked different?

Here’s What I Know Now

Symptoms aren’t scary when you understand them. The body is never attacking itself. It’s adapting, restoring, rebuilding — in response to a life event that caught us off guard.

That’s why I’m writing this. That’s why I teach this. Because I’ve seen too many people get swept into fear... When they were caught in the act of healing.

💗 It’s Time to Get Curious

If something in your body is speaking — itching, aching, changing — don’t rush to fear. Get curious.

What stress is going on? What just shifted in your life? What boundary did you finally set? What emotion did you finally express?

Your body might not be breaking down. It might be breaking through.

✨ Be open. Ask new questions. And most of all — it is not longer necessary to navigate this alone.

This is the power of GNM. It’s not therapy—it’s biology. It shows us the why behind symptoms and what your body is trying to resolve.
