How do our bodies experience, metabolize and alchemize the energetics of war? We share a conversation with Rachel Leibovich, community member in The Womb Room, and founder of Esperanza's Acres where she practices as a jewish priestess, ritualist and dream weaver in service to community healing and justice.  Rachel came to us in our "matriarchal health care" section of The Womb Room with curiosity about an acute expression of symptoms. She shares the story of how the phsyical healing has been a piece of her alchemical process of navigating identity, community, expression and work as a Jewish woman, amdist the ongoing genocide in Palestine. We share this as an example of how by working our internal landscape, by honoring the expression of the body, we shift the world around us, through accessing our true expression. Deep gratitude. Notes on rectal bleeding: In the GHK paradigm, rectal bleeding can arise in the healing phase of a couple different conflicts. In an identity conflict where on feels they do not have place,community, belonging, the body will attempt to establish "territory" as mammals do, through defecation. During the conflict active phase, the lining of the rectum ulcerates, so as to make more space to mark the territory. In the resolution of the conflict, there is swelling, cell proliferation, and there can be hemorrhoids and rectal bleeding Alternatively, a feces or "shit conflict" is an expression of a "s****y situation," where cells in the colon and/or rectum proliferate in the conflict active phase, in order to better "digest" the situation. Rectal bleeding can occur in the resolution phase.  *I am a lay woman on the internet. These are stories, and not intended as medical information nor advice.
