1-The Choice to Use Holistic Health was a Personal Decision.
As I sit here typing this blog post, I'm reminded not long ago it was illegal for me to open a holistic healing practice. This was a passion of mine for over two decades and I could not share my passion without penalty. I would have needed a professional license to practice holistic healing. I do not hold anything against professional licensing requirements. But, the medical world doesn't exactly support my services. The mindset to master my techniques doesn't exist there. That's alright, I still support medical science - BUT it left me broken in more than one way. What I needed fixing was nothing medical science could provide. It treated a shell, all the layers of energy, trauma, and negative imprinting had left a void within me. I needed to move these stuck patterns and I needed to find answers. The last thing I needed was more cold and impersonal "caregivers".
Everything that ailed me, built up, lived in my soul, and was doing a number on my esteem. This is where I get "anacdotal", according to experts. For all the doctors, tests, painful explanations, lists -- I didn't have any answers. I was in-tune with my body. I listened to myself and how I was feeling. I reported those feels in detail to providers. I had one specialist look right at me and say, " You're a puzzle". And it was actually the most honest statement anyone had made. Every specialist had different advice. Eat salad, don't eat salad, drink tea, don't drink tea, take a supplement , don't take a supplement. To say this period in my life was crazy making would be an understatement. I knew I wasn't heard, I knew the best info I got was nothing more than an educated guess. Interpreting my tests and analyzing my "presentation". I was suffering from an invisible illness, like so many others in this country and around the globe.
I knew I should be grateful I was able to access the level of care I was receiving, but the expense was deafening. I got angry. It made me worse. I knew something needed to give and it was not going to be the standard of care I was racking up bills for. I joined support groups, I spoke with women like me! Everyone could recognize our uniqueness reflected in each other. We saw in each other what medical professionals told us we were imagining. We all shared stories of feeling gaslit.
I tell you this, not to turn you away from the medical community, but to raise awareness. Modern day medicine treats you like a shell. You have so many more unseen systems that are invisible, like my illness.
2- Medical Science and Holistic Health Created Balance in my Life
I needed to find balance in my life. I knew I would continue experiencing the same symptoms for the rest of my life. And, that would increase with age. It would be worse if I ate like crap. I would need to avoid weight gain, high salt diet, dehydration, stress, etc..
I had the power to make the rest of my life miserable or I could be proactive, I chose to be proactive.
That took FINDING my personal power. Which had been damaged by self doubt.
I started with my diet. I cut out diet drinks, high sodium, I started a supplement regimen AMA. Yup, for me it has turned out to be a good decision. I started a regimen of pre and probiotics. Removed A LOT of processed meats from my life. I drank water, which took a long time to create this positive habit. I took accountability and responsibility for what I was consuming.
I incorporated energy healing into my lifestyle. Stress was impacting my ability to cope and change bad habits. I had many triggers, some I could not remove from my life. My consumption of negative news, opinions, beliefs - had to reduce in my newsfeed. I had to manage my schedule, budget, and use energy balancing to breathe in the middle of storms. I created calm within chaos. I used sound therapy. Crystals became tools. I began surfacing deep rooted triggers and imbalances I had mismanaged my whole life.
The medical tests and educated guesses gave me a direction. The rest was all personal intuition. A journey to wellness that started in my transpersonal space.
3- Seeing is Believing
Now, I am not saying it was a radical change, it did not take place over night.
I had bumps, I had symptoms, I had bad days. Change is messy. But it is worth it.
I saw the differences and felt them first hand. My pain reduced , my skin looked healthier, my hair was healthier, my digestion improved. Sleeping patterns evened out. I was less moody, fatigued eyes improved, headaches were less frequent.
I was not supported in these choices, two doctors actually told me I was a quack. Only one was blatant about it. The other was a woman that requested a nurse stay in the room during visits. When I reported my gains, she rolled her eyes at me. Dismissed them all as a "placebo". It was inconclusive because I had dabbled in an eclectic mishmash of remedies. That was the official sentiment.
I removed them both from my life. The bias towards my harmless remedies was enough to impact my results and their theories. When I see a doctor, now, it's for checkups. I manage the "quality of life" part with holistic practitioners. There is no negative judgment to thwart my improvement and soil my journey through life. I will graciously accept the placebo, thanks!
I turned to my practice to manage my homeostasis because 1) I BELIEVED ME 2) I FELT CONNECTED TO THE SUFFERING 3) I EXPERIENCED RELIEF
4- Electromagnetic Energy Fields Are Not PseudoScience
Some doctors are starting to see the practical use of energy tools! Implementing vibrational sound, light and lasers to treat depression, dementia, with stimuli. Vagus nerve stimulation is not a subject exclusive to new agers, anymore.
EMF therapy is measurable, it's not quackery. In the physical plane, and someday it'll be acceptable to admit this existence in the afterlife as well.
