For the past 3 months I've been seeing a holistic MD, she used to work at the clinic I work at, but has left conventional medicine to follow her calling. Today was my 4th visit with her... I'm trying to work on myself so I can get past those pesky vices and patterns of being that no longer serve me... smoking, smoking pot, bad relationships and to generally improve my mood and lessen my overly critical mind- whew, lots to do. So far its working (not fast enough, I sometimes think), things are a tinge better~ the patterns are still there, probably always will be... but the automatic nature and the hold they have on me is lessening. In addition to getting the energy balancing in her office, she prescribes certain meditations and energetic points to focus on. I often wonder why I always pick the difficult road, maybe I should just take Prozac like everyone else. But anyway, I'm giving this a try for now. Today, I had the strongest reaction yet. I entered the office cranky and skeptical... I havn't been doing my meditations, so I was trying to justify it with "its not working"... but after the treatment I was sooooo grounded and in my body rather than up in my frenzied head. I am recommitted to giving this modality a fresh start. I will do my rectangle with reflector point, my liver stream and my root and solar plexus meditations every day for 1 week... then my next appt. Wish me luck, I'm really trying!!!!
"According to a Report of the Surgeon General, dated December 16, 1999, the top public health official in the United States, Surgeon-General David Satcherone, claimed that one in five Americans suffers from a diagnosable mental disorder each year and half the entire population has such disorders at some time in their lives. That’s a rather staggering figure. It’s like saying every other person is nuts. And if it isn’t me, then it must be you. It makes me wonder if I should have taken my mother’s advice and specialized in Psychoceramics (the study of crackpots). Curiously, these statistics, as staggering as they, are nevertheless not all that surprising. In fact, one might ask, “Only half?”"
