That is when we lose our joy. The depression can be devastating both to us and our loved ones.<BR/><BR/>Chick over the years, you have learned coping skills that help to get you back to a happy productive place. And, now, I hope that you have chosen to learn some of the ones we are practicing and benefiting from. <BR/><BR/>Once you have talked to your doctor, read the manual and learn the Emotion Free Techniques (EFT). It may be able to help you rediscover Chick a lot faster.<BR/><BR/>Be wellMckay Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18442323148923575037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1193664024838510460.post-76747349318108883132008-11-01T22:05:00.000-04:002008-11-01T22:05:00.000-04:00Intreasting post.

Recently I've been trying to pull myself out of that rut once again. Its not easy and really I put myself into a time warp. Forgeting myself Instead I got so consumed with the "why me's". Esentially I forgot myself as a human with an illness. I allowed myself to become the illness. Being unhealthy to be that way. I lost my will so to speak. I became lupus and other illness. My name became lupus, not my real name. If that makes any sense. You always have very good words you speak.<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://www.chronicchicktalk.com" REL="nofollow">Chronic Chick Talk</A>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1193664024838510460.post-65762560837506620382008-11-01T20:13:00.000-04:002008-11-01T20:13:00.000-04:00Hi Speedy!

And, you have the photos to prove it.<BR/><BR/>http://inspired-journey.blogspot.com/2008/10/using-law-of-attraction-and-eft-to-heal.html<BR/><BR/>You are right, the universe has so much that we have yet uncovered. It is doing all it can to reveal the many blessings that are available to us. <BR/><BR/>It is up to us to see what our creator provided from the beginning so that we can live our life with the INTENT of joy and peace and not pain and suffering.<BR/><BR/>The movie (What the Bleep Do We Know?), that you introduced me to on your site (Inspired Journey), taught me to live with the INTENT of what I want. I choose joy and peace and the ability to reconize what the pain and suffering is and why it has (if it does) shown up in my life.<BR/><BR/>Carole, I have the utmost respect for you and your credentials as a Life Coach. Much success in ALL your endeavors.<BR/><BR/>Be wellMckay Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18442323148923575037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1193664024838510460.post-84165355319488677032008-10-31T19:36:00.000-04:002008-10-31T19:36:00.000-04:00This is a really great post McKay, what a blessing...This is a really great post McKay, what a blessing indeed.

After trying to describe her journey to Oz, she says that what she learned was that if she ever needs to go searching for for her hearts desire, all she needs to do is look in her own backyard.....Your story proves that in so many ways... Maybe to find a cure for what ails us we might start by looking right inside ourselves as well. Thank you for helping me stop and think about the possibilites that are out there.

I have been using alternative or integrative medicine for quite awhile ~ acupuncture and homeopathy were a couple. Now EFT has entered into my realm of possibilities to help myself and of course the tapping that is used is done on the trigger points that are used for acupuncture. I also use the "gait" points to balance my body which are also acupuncture points. I am still new to the EFT, like I said before, but I use the points and say affirmations with them or what I am grateful for also. Saw that idea is one of the EFT newsletters I get. So much out there and some it is sounds so strange like you said, but your story on the walnuts is such an easy way of explaining the unknown to us :)<BR/>Thanks for sharing it.<BR/>ReneeReneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07089685282700680525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1193664024838510460.post-22874377049515054702008-10-28T08:30:00.000-04:002008-10-28T08:30:00.000-04:00Seems that everything up close is hard to take a c...Seems that everything up close is hard to take a close look at, huh? My chronic illness is a blessing to me today. When I meet people my age that are facing difficult life changes in order to get their life back, I say a prayer of thanks that I lost my health so young that the changes were not nearly so hard to make.
