Meditation

Just wanted to briefly write about what I am doing to help my healing process.

I know some of you guys are changing your diet, taking supplements, making creams...etc.

I have changed my diet a tiny bit, but mainly I chose meditation.

I spend 1.5 hours in the morning, 1 hour in the afternoon, and 1-2 hours at night meditating.  They are different types of meditation though.

I'm not going to write what kind of meditation I practice.  I mean I really want to, but the reason is because the type of meditation I practice, I learnt from a master of this meditation and I spent a significant time in perfecting my learning.  Apparently it must be learnt correctly, otherwise it can have damaging consequences, especially to the mind.  If you are interested though, you can E-mail or message me about it and I will be more than happy to share what I do.  I cannot teach it to you, but I can introduce it, and perhaps you will be able to find your way to learn it correctly.

I truly believe that diseases are an obstruction in the mind.  

Some may say that this is not true, because it is the steroid that destroyed my skin, and Red Skin Syndrome is not a disease.  In a way this is true, but then I think back...why did I start to use steroids?  Because I had skin problems.  Why did I begin to have skin problems?  The way I see it, it is because something in my mind was not balanced.  If nothing in my mind has changed from when I first developed my eczema before I used steroids, to after I stopped using steroids, it is probably still going to be there even if the steroid-damaged skin is healed.  I trust that my body can repair the damaged skin, but I need to work on my mind to heal the underlying problem.

So far meditation has been rewarding.  I know one girl who had severe eczema, used steroids for 35 years, stopped, and then had Red Skin Syndrome.  She healed in 6 months from the day she started meditating.  Not only did her RSS & eczema heal, she's healed a lot of her other health problems too.  She even has many pet cats now, which is amazing because she was extremely allergic to cats all her life before she started meditation.  I checked in with her a few weeks ago...we had lunch and discussed my experiences and symtoms while practicing meditation, and we've had many similarities.  Hopefully that means I am on the right track...that gives me so much hope!!!!!!

Positive thought of the day: Everything happens for a reason.  I know it's hard, but think of all the positive things this horrible skin problem has brought you.  There will be a handful...guaranteed!  For me, here are some.  I am closer than ever to my family.  My busy lifestyle has calmed down.  I will probably forever see health as a number one priority where it should be (before I never even thought about health).  Before, I never shared any of my problems to my friends, but now I open up more.  I discovered that I am musically talented.  I am more compassionate towards others.  I don't worry about myself physically...seriously...before I would spend a lot of time being girly...experimenting with make-up and doing my eyebrows, nails etc...now it's like...I don't even think about that hah.  I've figured out who the important people are in my life.  THERE IS JUST SO MUCH MORE!!!
