Experiencing unexpected Health Symptoms
What do you do when your body throws a curveball and you experience unexpected health symptoms even when you seem to be doing everything right?
You’re meditating. You’re mind training. You’re doing everything right. And still… out of nowhere, a strange pain shows up. Or a weird twitch. Or a wave of fatigue that knocks you sideways. These unexpected health symptoms can feel totally disorienting—especially when you’ve worked so hard to feel better.
One of my students asked me recently: “Why is this happening now? And what should I do?”
That’s what this post is all about.
Symptoms Don’t Follow Logic (Or Timelines)
Here’s something most people never hear: symptoms are not logical. And they are definitely not chronological. That means just because something shows up in your body today doesn’t mean it’s caused by what you did this morning—or even this week.
Sometimes you’re just cleaning up after a very messy party.
That’s the image I use with my students. You’ve got this big, heavy wheel that’s been spinning in one direction your entire life. That’s your mind, trained in fear, in survival, in lack. And once that wheel has momentum, it doesn’t take much to keep it spinning. Even if you’re doing deep healing work now, that old momentum still needs to slow down and stop before it can turn the other way.
And that’s why unexpected health symptoms might appear right after you start doing everything “right.”
Your Body Is Not the Boss (You Are)
The moment a symptom shows up, what’s your first instinct?
Panic.
Google.
Self-diagnose.
Cancel everything.
Yep, you’re human.
But here’s what I want you to remember: when you react to the symptom, you feed it. You confirm the story your mind is telling you—that something is wrong, that healing isn’t working, that you’re failing. And that’s exactly what the ego wants.
Instead, I want you to do something radical. Nothing.
That’s right. Don’t do anything new. Don’t switch your protocol. Don’t change your supplements. Don’t spiral into a medical mystery tour. Just keep doing what you’ve been doing, calmly and consistently.
The Ninja Move That Changes Everything
One of my students said this best: “Just keep calm and mind train.”
This is the ninja move. It’s not glamorous. It’s not dramatic. And it’s not how we’ve been conditioned to respond to pain or discomfort. Everything in society teaches you to react. But healing requires something else: non-reaction.
You stay with your process. You keep showing up for your mind. You stay focused even when the body screams for attention.
This doesn’t mean ignoring severe health issues. But it does mean discerning when something truly needs attention—and when it’s simply old energy surfacing on its way out.
My Own Journey With Weird Body Stuff
Let me be real with you: I’ve had the weirdest symptoms over the years.
Frozen shoulders. Random hip pain. Numbness in my arms. I’ve had so many physical things happen that made absolutely no sense medically. And I never went to the doctor for most of them.
Why?
Because I knew they weren’t actually about my body. They were part of my detox. Emotional. Energetic. The release that happens when you finally stop stuffing your pain down and start cleaning out your inner basement.
I learned not to react. I learned to watch. To wait. To not assign meaning to every little twitch or ache. That was my training ground—and it’s why I teach what I teach today.
The Law of Amplification (What You Focus On Grows)
This is one of the most important things I’ll ever teach you: whatever you focus on gets louder.
So when a new symptom shows up, and you start researching, Googling, tracking it, talking about it, journaling about it—you’re actually reinforcing it. You’re telling your mind, “This is important. Let’s keep it.”
And then the symptom grows.
It’s not a punishment. It’s just the way the mind works. What you focus on is amplified. That’s why mind training is the ultimate tool when dealing with unexpected health symptoms. You learn to shift your focus—gently, but powerfully—toward something else. Something wanted. Something healing.
See the Symptom, Then Shrug
This might sound silly, but I want you to start thinking of your symptoms like pimples.
A little annoying? Sure.
Life-threatening? Probably not.
Best left alone? Absolutely.
When you don’t touch it, it goes away on its own.
Same with symptoms. When you stop poking and prodding and obsessing over them, they lose their grip on your mind. And that’s when real healing begins. Not by fighting—but by surrendering. By not assigning meaning that was never there to begin with.
This Too Shall Pass (If You Let It)
The most powerful phrase you can say when something new and strange shows up in your body?
This means nothing.
Because in most cases, it doesn’t. It’s not a sign you’re broken. It’s not evidence that the healing isn’t working. It’s not proof that you’re going backwards.
It’s just something passing through.
A cloud.
A detox.
A recalibration.
And yes, it might feel dramatic—but it doesn’t have to mean anything at all.
That’s the mindset I teach inside my mind training course. I break this down step by step so you can actually retrain yourself to respond differently when symptoms arise. Because learning to heal through your mind is not about adding more to your plate. It’s about letting go of what’s never worked.
