I haven't written anything on this list for awhile - I have simply been
observing. I have seen a lot out there about new medications and such, but
hardly anything on holistic medicine or alternative medicine (besides the bee
vemon).
Have any of you tried "energy work" or any other form of holistic therapy? I
know that TM can be extremely overwhelming, but we all need to find a place
where we can be postive and move forward - on some level. I was depressed as
hell when I was diagnosed - all I wanted was the number for Jack Kevorkian
(not sure of the spelling).
I did not want to live and have to deal with life! I was angry, scared
(really scared), filled with self-pity and sad - I had lost my life as I knew
it and couldn't imagine facing the rest of my life in a physical body that
didn't work anymore the way I wanted it/needed it to work.
My mom saw the depression hit me and scheduled an appointment with a friend of
hers who, like herself was a licensed psychologist, but also a medical
intuitive who did energy work. It has been four months since the TM struck
and I have been working with Jill every other week and have seen one other
medical intuitive a couple of times. I can't describe the enormous difference
these two people and their work have made in my life! Medical intuitives see
where our bodies are losing energy and the damage that is occuring due to the
energy loss. Sometimes the energy loss has gone on for so long that we will
never be cured, but sometimes, with work and intention we can stop the loss of
energy and heal our bodies. Jill believes that even if the physical body
can't be cured, we can still heal our spirits. I have learned that my body is
not who I am - I am my spirit and my energy - they can be healthy even without
a working body.
There is a great book out there called "Anatomy of the Spirit" it's by a
medical intuitive named Caroline Myss. She is a PhD and has studied energy
for years, along with several medical doctors. It is an enlightening book -
one that I have read and reread and learned a great deal from. I want eveyone
else out there to be able to feel as peaceful as I do now. I am so thankful
for this new knowledge - it has been a blessing to me. My neurologist is a
wonderful doctor, but she never thought I'd recover. I decided differently -
and I have recovered to a great extent!
Along with the energy work - which helped pinpoint areas in my life that I was
not balanced, I have been working at changing my whole life and how I interact
with everyone I meet. I've spent a lifetime trying to solve the problems of
friends and family and not dealing with people or situations which have hurt
me. I always put the emotions and needs of others before my own emotions and
needs - in other words I had shit for boundries! LOL I have not done things
I've really wanted to do because I didn't want to disappoint anyone - but by
not following my own path I have suffocated my spirit and some of the work I
am here to do. It's funny in a way, because I was given so many chances to
stop and get on the right path. Have any of you ever done something that you
didn't want to do, even though it didn't "feel" right? I sure have and when
that happens we are zapping our energy - if we do it enough then it begins to
effect our physical body.
Well, this is a long email and I know some people will relate and others will
delete - that's cool. I just wanted to share something that has not only
allowed me to physically feel healthier, but also spiritually healthier. I
would really recommend the book. I wish you all health and happiness!
