💪 Day 36 of 40 – Leaky Muscles / Muscular System ⚡ Fatigue, tightness, poor tone, trauma storage
🕊️ “Soft is strong. Your muscles don’t need force — they need permission to release.” ~ Dee
Connect in the comments to learn how I’m surviving life-threatening leaky muscles — when simply working out can have me expiring before I desire.
🧠 Did you know? Mould illness, chronic stress and trauma don't just weigh on your mind — they live in your muscles.
We were taught to carry it all. To hold it in our shoulders. To clench it in our jaws. To tense it in our bellies. To brace for impact — even when there’s no threat.
For firstborns from tense, inflamed homes, the body becomes a vault for worry. Muscles become armour. We store the fight. We store the flight. We even store the freeze.
🦠 Mould illness and chronic inflammation feed this tension. They stiffen fascia. They drain mitochondria. They strip minerals, leaving us weak, crampy, tired.
And trauma tells our muscles: “Stay on guard.” Even as our soul says: “Please, rest.”
But here’s the truth: When we detox the mould, release the trauma and nourish the body with deep care — We remember how to soften. We remember how to move with grace. We remember rest.
🧠 Somatic Signs of Leaky Muscles Your muscles are speaking. Are you listening?
• Chronic tightness or knots • Easily pulled or strained • Weakness despite effort • Twitching or spasms • Aching at rest • “Frozen” areas that won’t move freely
💔 What Your Muscles Might Be Saying • “I’m stuck in fight or flight.” • “I don’t feel safe enough to soften.” • “I’m exhausted from carrying it all.” • “I’m holding old stories that never got to end.” • “I need help to remember rest.”
🌿 Healing Muscles from Within 🫀 Your muscular system holds your life’s weight — but it also carries your life’s grace.
Try these: 🌿 Magnesium baths — soothe cramps and tension 💧 Electrolyte-rich drinks — coconut water, lemon with sea salt 👐 Self-massage — slow circles with oil or balm, telling your body it’s safe 🌱 Protein from diverse sources — rebuild, repair, restore 🌀 Gentle stretching — not to force, but to invite 🥬 Mineral-rich foods — dark greens, nuts, seeds
🔁 Releasing Muscle Armour with These Prompts
🧘♀️ De-Stress Tip: Place a warm compress on tense spots, exhale slowly, say “I release.”
🍃 De-Tox Tip: Support lymph flow with dry brushing or gentle rebounding.
🌀 De-Freeze Tip: Shake it out — literally, let the body tremble to release held stress.
🌙 Sleep Tip: Lay with legs up the wall — signal safety and rest to the body.
📦 Declutter Tip: Write down a burden you’ve carried too long. Rip it up. Let it go.
💨 De-Bloat Tip: Sip chamomile tea — calm the gut, relax the body.
💪 Muscle Health = Safety = Peace
Have you noticed how fear stiffens the body?
Muscles tell the story of our past stress, our present load, our unspoken worries. But they can also tell a new story.
A story of trust. A story of movement. A story of peace.
With every gentle rep,

💛 How I almost expired before I desired
I was a lifelong “health nut” — eating clean, training hard, doing all the right things.
But I didn’t know I was living with 30+ leaky barriers I couldn’t see.
My body was a sponge for stress and trauma since the womb.
My muscles were armour, clenched for decades.
Mold hid in my cells.
Inflammation ran wild.
My gut was leaking.
My blood was sluggish.
My nerves were fried.
My mitochondria were gasping.
I didn’t know why I was exhausted, twitchy, tight, inflamed.
Why “healthy food” made me sick.
Why I was losing blood, vomiting, barely holding on.
Why my body felt like it was shutting down.
I was doing everything “right,” but my body was leaking life.
I didn’t need to push harder.
I needed to soften.
I needed to listen.
I needed to heal.
Now, I’m here to share what I learned — so you don’t expire before you desire.
So you can think, eat, poop, sleep, and live in peace.
🕊 If this is you, you’re not broken. You’re leaking. Let’s heal.
