Heal Pain Naturally

Do you know your inner self — the TRUE you or are you a conglomeration of the roles that define you?  When people ask you about yourself do you answer by the roles you play, “wife, husband, mother, father, your career (whatever TITLE THAT may be), daughter, son, friend, etc. etc.?  Do you welcome distractions like TV, constant texting or cell phone use or do you relish the time when you can sit in quiet contemplation of life?  Getting to know your inner self is the first step toward healing whatever is wrong in your life.

It is wonderful (yet I’ll admit a little scary) for me to be able to share something that I have considered so intimate for so long with my readers — my poetry writing.

Being aware of the world around you and not moving through it mindlessly. Meditation or concentrating on your breath is one of the easiest ways to initiate this. Through the call in program there were many wise ways people used to bring them back to consciousness and relax their own minds from tools like…

I haven’t written more this week because I have been ill. It is the first time I have been “sick” since I healed myself of chronic pain. I have all the symptoms back I used to have daily which is flu-like (aches, dizziness, nauseousness, loss of appetite, general lack of energy). It has been a real “wake-up” call to me.

While better for the last 10 months I have been putting enormous amounts of pressure on myself to “make up for lost time” and to be the superwoman I always have striven to be. I have wanted to succeed in all areas of my life and have been putting an enormous amount of pressure on myself to do it all NOW. I have been slacking on meditation and some of the tools I used that helped me the most due…
