I have a story to share! As I've been learning Germanische Heilkunde, I've been sharing with the kids to reframe our thinking around healing symptoms, conflicts, etc.

A couple weeks ago we were talking about how conflicts experienced in the womb can sometimes affect us for a long time, but if we understand what biological program is running, we can resolve the conflict, finish the biological program, and then leave it in the past.

My 11 year old has been increasingly sensitive about his short stature - he was firmly in the 60% percentile until maybe age 7 and then just stopped growing for a couple years - literally wore the same clothing for two years in a row! Fell below the 10th percentile in height.

He was complaining one morning about how he was never going to grow and I told him he needed to give his body the confidence that it can grow...when it just popped into my head that all of this worry and ruminating about his height was a sign that he must be conflict active and that he must be running a biological program with the intended purpose of keeping him small.

No idea which one, as I still am so new to all of this! And then it was like a download straight from God - I told him he didn't want to grow when he was a teeny baby in the womb because he was safe there and he didn't know if he would be safe once he was born...he understood that his birthmom wanted to keep him there as long as possible but he didn't realize it was because she knew she would have to say goodbye as soon as he was born.

To his little body and psyche, he interpreted it as "I need to grow as slowly as possible so I can stay in the womb longer!" He was even a week and a day late! He did not want to come out!

I told him that he didn't have to stay small anymore, that he was safe once he was born, with his family, and it was safe for him to grow big and tall and strong.

He sat for a minute, muscle testing the ideas as he always does lol, and then told me yes that was exactly what happened! The relief in his face was immediate. Within a week I noticed his pants were shorter!

These last few days he's started sleeping until almost noon (unheard of for this kid who is usually up by 7:30 at the latest), and I measured him and he's grown an inch and a quarter! Since our conversation two weeks ago!
It's absolutely amazing. I can't begin to tell you how life changing this learning has been!
I'm still working through my own conflicts and health issues but these light bulb moments are so incredible that I had to share!

 

Note from Ingmar Marquardt:

The anterior pituitary gland produces various hormones, including somatotropin, which plays an important role in growth. A well-known conflict content here is “not being big enough to get the morsel”, i.e. in the conflict-active phase there is increased growth here.
In this report, however, we see reduced growth with the conflict content “I have to stay small to get rid of the danger”. To my knowledge, this conflict variant has not yet been researched further, but would probably also be located in the area of the anterior pituitary gland.
