Shaking off negativity

[Guest guest]

Joel,

 

I understand what you are saying about the mind

and body not being separate. Living with a chronic

disability (for 22 years) has made me aware of the

connections. I have learned to focus my direction

elsewhere to reduce my awareness of pain and I

have learned to vary then types of activities I engage

in many times during the day so that I can maintain

enough awareness and energy. Regarding acupuncture,

it reduced my pain minimally and for very short periods,

but was a very unpleasant experience since the needles were

painful and sometimes triggered neurologic symptoms

such as spasms, twitching, and numbness.

The acupuncturist and I agreed that it was a net loss.

I try to look on this all as a journey and as a learning

experience. But I am going through a rough stretch

these days.

Daily meditation has helped me more than anything.

Yoga helps me. Also, facing the thoughts directly and talking it

out to myself.
