Emotional Guidance Scale

This is the scale Dr. V was talking about on the call today. 


Imagine an Emotional Guidance Scale with the good feeling thoughts on one end and the bad feeling thoughts on the other. 
And now, acknowledge that the end that feels good equals allowing and the end that feels bad equals resistance.  
So it is obvious that, depending upon your choice of thoughts, you could move toward either end of the scale.  
It is also obvious that the further you are from one end of the scale,  the closer you are to the other end.  In other words, this thought feels better; this thought feels worse.  This better feeling thought indicates allowing; this worse feeling thought indicates resistance............ The thing that matters most is that you consciously reach for a feeling that is improved.  The word for this feeling is not important.  


A scale of your emotions would look like this:


 1. Joy/Knowledge/Empowerment/Freedom/Love/Appreciation 
 2. Passion 3. Enthusiasm/Eagerness/Happiness 
 4. Positive Expectation/Belief 
 5. Optimism 6. Hopefulness 
 7. Contentment 
 8. Boredom 
 9. Pessimism 
 10. Frustration/Irritation/Impatience 
 11." Overwhelment" 
 12. Disappointment 
 13. Doubt 
 14. Worry 
 15. Blame 
 16. Discouragement 
 17. Anger 
 18. Revenge 
 19. Hatred/Rage 
 20. Jealousy 
 21. Insecurity/Guilt/Unworthiness 
 22. Fear/Grief/Depression/Powerlessness 


 A rather effective way of balancing your Energy is to continually reach for feelings of relief.  A feeling of relief always indicates an improvement in your vibration, and it always means a release of resistance, or an increasing of allowing.   Illness is all about resistance on some level.   You have been resisting your Natural Well Being up to NOW.

FREE Conference Call Every Wednesday

 

**Please note the new dial in phone number and access code below.


Dr. Vinayak and I have been doing these conference calls for emotional support every Wednesday @ 1pm Pacific Time (4pm EST).  This is my way of giving back to the Lyme community for helping me with donations and support throughout my struggle with the disease.  Anyone struggling with illness is welcome to join as this is not centered around Lyme.  This is centered on recovery and releasing your "temporary" conditions and letting go.

I missed last weeks call and really think I needed it.  It keeps me in line mentally with what I believe to be true about healing.  Healing can begin with healing our emotions and not focusing on our symptoms.

It's so much more than Lyme disease

A conference for Lyme patients and their caregivers

Keynote speaker:

Dr. Richard Horowitz

Sunday, May 6, 2-5 pm

Westin Hotel, Gaslamp Quarter

San Diego, California

Plus a panel of Lyme-treating doctors, including Therese Yang, MD; Erica Lehman, MD; and Neil Hirschenbein, MD.

Dr Richard Horowitz has treated more than 12,000 chronic Lyme patients in the last 20 years, with patients coming from all over the US, Canada, and Europe to his integrative medical clinic in Hyde Park, New York. He has coined the term MCIDS, or Multiple Chronic Infectious Disease Syndrome, to describe chronic Lyme disease, because of all the different factors that can be involved.

Learn from Dr. Horowitz and other Lyme specialists how the combination of Lyme, coinfections, biotoxins, food allergies and other conditions can make it harder for you to get well--and what you can do about it.

On-line registration, through May 2: $40

Registration at the door: $45

Tomorrow on Dr. Phil

Set your DVR's!  Tomorrow on Dr. Phil there will be a segment on chronic Lyme disease.  

Tomorrow on Dr. Phil Friday - April 13, 2012

Deadly Consequences

Dr. Phil’s guests say they’re dealing with serious illnesses that could have deadly outcomes. First, Annette says as a mother, she wants the right to euthanize her severely-disabled children, 42-year-old Jeffrey and 43-year-old Janet, who have been institutionalized for more than three decades with the rare genetic disorder, Sanfilippo Syndrome. Her only legal option is to remove their feeding tubes, which she says would lead to a painful and inhumane death. What would you do? Hear from acclaimed trial attorney Geoffrey Fieger on why he thinks the laws against euthanasia should be changed. Then, former model Stephanie Vostry, 25, says that she suffers from constant pain and seizures caused by what some doctors believe to be chronic Lyme disease, and others wonder if she's faking. With natural medicine providing minimal relief, hear how she says she's turned to self-medicating to dull her pain. Plus, chronic Lyme disease hits close to home for a Dr. Phil staff member and a San Diego weathercaster. 

The trailer for the show is below and then another snippet is below that.

Update on ME

I am still doing pretty darn great!  Working on getting even better.  Just wanted to let people know.  I don't think about Lyme disease so much anymore so I don't think to blog often.  So hearing nothing from me is a good thing.  I have more good days than bad now (THANK GOD)!!  I just need to exercise more!!!!  Trying to find the energy (sometimes just mental) some days and wish I had an exercise partner!  2 of my dogs are gimpy right now (chihuahua needs knee surgery and doberman pulled something playing ball).  My other dog is old so he just lays around.  Maybe I'll meet a fun friend that wants to exercise with me!  When the weather is nice I'm more motivated.

Anyway, life is good.  See ya Wednesdays on the conference calls!!

P.S.  A lot of you have left me wonderful comments of encouragement, your stories, etc over the years.  My comments only show up if you do it through Disquis for some reason.  I can't figure out how to fix it.  So if you wonder why your comments don't show up, that is why!!  I'm sorry!  I do get to read them though and I do appreciate them very much.  I hope I can get it fixed and I can respond to everyone.

My Success Story

Today I accidentally opened an email.  The email was a cry for hope from a someone in one of my groups.  I just wanted to close the email and go about my daily business but I felt compelled, my compassion got to me and I had to respond.  I had to reach out to her and let her know that she would be okay.  YOU ARE GOING TO BE OKAY.  Considering the fact that this blog gets about 200 views per day, I figure there are a lot of people out there that need to hear words of encouragement, words of hope, and words of healing.  This is my success story and I wrote it just for you, Susan in California, and for you too:

Feelings of hopelessness seemed to come and go for me.  Now I am 100% confident in my full recovery.  Not just hopeful.  I don't even feel like I need hope anymore. However there were times where I was suicidal.  Literally to the point where I told my husband to hide the pain meds from me.  In the midst of my fathers battle with cancer I had to burden my overwhelmed mother with the fact that I was suicidal.  But it wasn't all the time, it was during particular times of the month when I would have a flare of symptoms.  April and August of last year were the 2 hardest for me mentally & emotionally.  Those 2 "A" months.  Little did I know that in just 3 months my whole world would change and I would be doing so well.  My point is this:  just when you think it can't get any worse, sometimes it gets worse!  But then it gets better. It always gets better and you come out of it.  You have an upswing where you start to feel better physically or you just aren't suffering anymore and with that comes the mental lift.  The doom and gloom seems to magically disappear and you begin to see the glimmer of the light shining at the end of your tunnel.
 I know I'm not back to where I want to be but I'd say that most days, I'm 85% "there" and making progress.  This month has been my best month yet with the return of exercise.  I went to the beach on a nice warm day, I got started on my vision board, I got my bike fixed up for the next time I feel completely "un-sick", I signed up for yoga one day a week at a local studio, I found a local doctor to monitor me, run some tests,and help with the damage Lyme caused to my body (hopefully) so I can get stronger and stronger, I'm cooking dinner almost regularly, but most importantly, I'm able to go out to dinner, go visit my parents and ailing grandfather, make some plans and keep them, walk my Doberman on my own, drive alone.....  You get the picture.  I'm making the most out of my life.  My short term goal is to gain back some muscle and be able to exercise regularly as part of my recovery.  The ultimate goal would be able to go back to work full time.  That would be amazing.
I still have bad days, not too long ago, maybe a month and a half ago, I spent about 10 days in bed or the on couch.  It was discouraging, somewhat depressing, and a little scary.  I went into fear mode and had to pull myself out of it.  My practitioner, Dr V, is good at helping me do that.  But the bad days aren't nearly as bad as they were.
 Everyone can get better.  Seems it just takes some time and a lot of trial and error.  I should have trusted my instincts to got off the antibiotics much, much sooner.  Having my PiCC line removed was the best decision I have ever made.  I should have ripped it out a year sooner.  But I was fearful.  I read all the websites and blogs.  They told me that I had to be really sick for a long time.  That Lyme disease was a long rocky scary, painful road.  It was for me.  If you look back on this blog it goes back to the very beginning in 2009.  There are some pretty low posts and some scary posts at that.  In regards to stopping antibiotics, this last time, I trusted my body and just demanded it be over with.  I'm glad I did.

Not even close to being finished, but it is a start!
