Helping our Bodies to heal naturally/mind control

[Egypt]

Dear all,
As I've mentioned before I do believe in the power of the body to heal itself. In fact I love to consider myself as an 'animal' (a thinking one though) and aim to live as natural as possible. People think I'm crazy but I actually think I live with not that many complications. I take as an example the fact that our bodies raise the temperature to kill germs, etc (called fever) and the common action is to stop the fever  ..... I read somewhere that 'antibiotic' means - anti life! So just think about it.

I would love to share more of my story with you all, especially with Mo after sharing with me hers. I was sexually abused as a child. My first periods were painful and a complete nightmare and I was literally addicted to Ibuprofen. I also wore prescribed glasses for 15 years aprox.

However it wasn't until my mid 20's that I accepted the fact that that happenened to me and decided to take action. The first months were awful and painful but  I read a lot and decided I wouldn't let that person that hurt me as child to have ANY control in my life. Almost 2 years after my eyes were 'healed' and much to the surprise of the optometrist I didn't need glasses any more (and she repeated the tests several times). I then read a book by Louise Hay (Heal your Body) which explains the connection between the physical ailments and the thoughts. Eye problems are associated with 'not looking ourselves deeply"...which fit me.

The other issue was much more complicated but I decided to face my fear of sleeping by myself (especially during the nights as those were the times when I was abused) in a house and rent a one-bedroom flat on my own. The first months I had to pump myself up with lots of coffee....but guess what??? after a 5 months aprox when I learnt to sleep by myself and trust the fact that I can protect/defend myself I started enjoying Pain Free periods! And since then until my divorce I didn't even need to worry about my period.

My ex- new about my trust issues and my abuse story. He distroyed our relationship in a nasty way and I only felt abused to the top! A couple of months later I started bleeding like a cow (literraly....15 days). I rocked bottom very bad with this experience and had to ask for antidepressants. I still think those might have crooked a cable inside my brain and then my glands affected and then Hashi invited himself to my life. I'm dealing with it but still working in healing myself naturally...especially working on my thoughts again.

Louise Hay's book says hypothyroidism 'negative associated thoughts are: Giving up, feeling hopelessly stifled. Her suggestion for new way of thinking is:'I create a new life with new rules that totally support me.'
Also she reckons Thyroid problems: Feeling humiliated. I have to admit that during and previous to the time I was diagnosed with Hashi - that's how I thought. My previous relationship meant a lot to me - especially that I worked so hard in so many ways to be able to consider having a family because I was damned scared of having children and for them to be abused...etc. I have not give up on the idea of having a family one day but at this stage of my life I'm focused on healing myself first.

Interestingly, louise hay metaphysical reason on fibroids  (which I was coincidentally diagnosed at the same time that besides Hashimoto's) is associated with nursing hurt from old partner .....so I was like mmmmmm....what do I do now??

Again I've read - excercised and meditate. More than anything I have forgiven myself, and Him and I'm enjoying the present.

My post is looking like a newspaper isnt' it??  so I better 'hang' for now and share with you a short video that I found today in Youtube on reflexology...I'll try this as well to heal myself and be able to post one day a new subject: HASHIMOTO'S FREE EGYPT  


Have a nice night (Northern Hemisphere) and day ..the rest of the Planet.

Please go to YouTUBE and type HIPOTIROIDISMO/HIPERTIROIDISMO a video of a foot will come up and although there are some words in Spanish there's not too much to worry about ...the main thing is to learn the excercises. If that doesn't work please copy and paste the following: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GBkdeG7EJGQ

Hello Egypt,

Thank you for sharing your story with us! You have made a lot of progress. It is not easy to release the emotions associated with abuse. But, as you said, the abuser even though long gone, continues to have control over you when you don't release those emotions.

I am finding EFT effective in a short amount of time. When I say short, I mean probably a few minutes to a few hours of working with it! I've never had such results before and... it's mostly free. (unless you need someone to walk you through your sessions)

I used to "jump" for years when the door opened in my bedroom in the dark. I've had so much bad new come in that way during my years. I did some EFT on the events (just a couple) with my son helping to guide me a bit through it and I am finally free of that response. I am also finding relief from physical symptoms brought on by thoughts... when I feel the symptoms, I merely seek to understand what I am thinking at the time. Then I use EFT to address the thoughts and the physical symptoms subside or completely go away. I never realized all the physical symptoms that come as a result of my thoughts. What I like about EFT is the quick relief - many times just moments. If you haven't tried it, please consider it. (It's really just tapping on some meridian points while you address your emotional thoughts - it's painless and effective.) Last night a tightness in my throat was relieved within about 5 minutes using EFT. My emotion was "fear" but I didn't realize I was thinking about something fearful until I felt the symptom!

Very interesting video too. Thank you for sharing. It is nice to have you on the board. Keep us posted with your success. I think we are at the cutting edge of learning how emotions can cause illness and how positive affirmations and un-sticking negative emotions can actually repair!

Have a great day!

Mo
