The Only Way Out is Through

The Only Way Out is Through

Monday around 9:30 p.m., if you had walked into my house you would have found me sitting cross-legged on the floor, rocking back and forth, sobbing, heaving, and thrusting out deep, guttural, staccato sounds of agony. This is not what I typically do on a Monday evening. But something serendipitous is happening. Not fun, no not fun at all. Not even a little bit. But definitely serendipitous. I have found myself in a moment of my life where I’m faced with an extremely challenging and painful emotional situation. And (finally) the universe has simultaneously...

The Presence Process

Michael Brown was living a “blissfully unconscious” life as a music journalist when he fell in a crippled heap on the side of the road one day with his first attack of Horton’s Syndrome. For ten years he suffered this acutely painful and very rare neurological condition, which manifested as “multiple daily occurences of excruciating agony.” When mainstream Western Medicine failed to help and alternative medicine couldn’t alleviate the pain either, Michael embarked on a quest of self-healing. “As I experimented on myself with various physical, mental, and emotional techniques, I discovered that when...

Breaking the Concrete Block

I received an important question in response to my post the other day. Pam wants to know: “If you tell yourself that you are healed, and then you continue to experience symptoms when you try to go about doing things that you want to do and you used to do, how do you keep up the positive thoughts when your body is telling you otherwise?” Let me begin by saying that telling yourself you’re already healed and thinking positive thoughts will not get you where you want to go. You need to be able...

You Are Already Healed

A man in his twenties had been diagnosed with a rare heart condition which doctors believed would be fatal. Neville, the visionary and mystic and author of the book The Power of Awareness, came to visit the man on his deathbed. He asked the man to experience himself as if the healing had already taken place. “I suggested that in imagination, he see the doctor’s face expressing incredulous amazement in finding him recovered, contrary to all reason, from the late stages of an incurable disease, that he see him double-checking in his examination and...

Your Mind Matters

If you’re healthy and those close to you are healthy, you probably don’t think very much about our medical system. Maybe you go for a check-up once a year, maybe you pay a visit to your doctor when you get a really bad cold. But if you’ve been diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, or any chronic illness, our health care system is suddenly an intimate partner in your life, a partner that could guide you back to health or keep you sick. I don’t know about you, but when it comes to my intimate partners,...

Environment Matters

One of my primary gripes with the way Western Medicine approaches Multiple Sclerosis is its failure to acknowledge the HUGE role our internal environment plays in how sick or not we get. Our internal environment is effected by what we eat, what we think, how we feel, what toxins we’re exposed to, and more. The course of our MS is not predetermined. We can alter it by altering the condition of our body. But for the most part, Western Medicine ignores this truth, despite substantial evidence. Here I am though, after several weeks of...

Taking Control of Multiple Sclerosis

I had the pleasure of discovering an amazing website recently on Multiple Sclerosis: Taking Control of Multiple Sclerosis. The site was created by Professor George Jelinek, MD. Jelinek’s mom died from MS, and he himself was diagnosed in 1999. The first sentence I read on the homepage suggested that the illness could be overcome. Now that’s my kinda website! There are plenty of MS sites and blogs that talk about how it sucks to be sick, and they publish the standard medical information about the illness. Dull. Bleh. Not interested. I want to expose...

You Are What You Eat

I remember when I was a child, and naive. I thought if foods were in our supermarkets and served in our restaurants, it must mean they were okay to eat. I remember understanding that an apple might be a better choice than a bag of chips, but I didn’t understand that the bag of chips had chemicals in it that were absolutely not for human consumption. I didn’t know there was an FDA and I definitely didn’t know that this governing agency, employed with the task of protecting me from harmful foods, was failing...
