Cancer

[DFBear]

Ran into this unexpectedly in a book on global finance. The author is
a former RN and now energy therapist. A little extreme in opinion, but
she makes some good points.

"For years I told people, "Curing cancer is as simple as releasing the
emotional trauma which caused it" and for years no one seemed
interested in my assistance. I remained flabbergasted until I realized
that one of the aspects of the 'cancer personality' is that at an
unconscious level, cancer patients want to die, or they wouldn't have
developed cancer. It is their belief, thanks to medical propaganda,
which causes them to think that cancer means they will no longer have
to face the trauma or, rather, their interpretation of the trauma
which is diminishing their basic life force. Cancer is just socially-
acceptable suicide.

Medical intervention does NOT cure cancer. For the record, 80% of
doctors admit that they would not take their own medicine, meaning,
that what they advise their patients - chemotherapy, radiation,
surgery - they would not submit to themselves. No one I've ever known
has ever died of cancer - only from the medical treatment of cancer.
Yet, again, subconsciously one submits to the medic's advice because
in him, one has an ally in not taking responsibility. One knows she
can avoid the reminder of the trauma sooner by acquiescing to the
medics/ ego's plan for salvation and dying. Since loved ones are
generally horrified by the fact that the patient is dying, as they
have been equally conned, they express sadness, etc. and the patient
pretends, for their sakes, to want to get healthy again. Nothing could
be farther from the truth. If one truly wanted to get better, she
would reveal the cause of her illness, the emotional trauma which is
literally destroying her; yet she rarely does. Those who do and who
support their bodies in the healing process, recover. However, most
take their trauma to their graves partly because they are unaware of
it and partly because, although initially they feel anger towards
another involved in the event, they inevitably blame themselves, feel
horrendous guilt over it, and wouldn't dare tell anyone of their part
in it, even when the telling would be the first step in saving their
lives. I know of many people who have cured their cancer via
forgiveness.

The body doesn't heal because the body isn't sick; only the mind can
heal because only the mind is sick. The body doesn't suffer; the body
doesn't DO anything. It only does what the mind tells it to do.
- Kenneth Wapnick.

So, I suggest to my clients to begin, for their own sakes, the process
of forgiving whomever it is they believe has caused their distress,
remembering that it was only their interpretation of the situation
which caused their pain, not the incident itself. Remember
Krishnamurti said, "there are no problems apart from the mind."

...

We all know that toxins are ubiquitous in our present environment -
food, air, water, clothing. So, clean that up to the extent of your
ability. The one which I consider the scourge, because most are
unaware of its effects, is synthetic fragrances, in particular, fabric
softeners. No one can heal in a toxic environment and those who are
subjected to that poison are energetically out of alignment 24/7 as it
is in bedding as well. I used to tell parents who asked me to work
with their "ADD/ADHD" children that if they wash everything, with
which the child is in contact, in a natural detergent about 9 times -
this tells you how toxic this stuff is - and they don't see dramatic
improvement in the child, I will treat the child for free. They always
reported an improvement.

...

The way to health is:
1. release the emotion surrounding the trauma; take a look back at the
previous two years and determine what was the worst thing that ever
happened to you - in that time and also in your life; then release it
via frequency and energy healing.

2. sleep - in a very dark and quiet room,
real water - in sunlight and clean air - is hard to find so the next
best is highly filtered,
exercise - be sure to break a sweat to release the toxins,
oxygen /real air - get out of town,
real food - make it alkaline - organic vegetables, fruits, and nuts
and seeds. (see: PH Miracle by Dr. R. Young)

3. nutritional supplements which the body desperately requires in
order to handle toxic emotions and a toxic environment; also, the
latest and greatest I've heard on how to heal anything is NCD -
Natural Cellular Defence.

4. stay away from the Medical Mafia.

This is just an outlandish stance.

If you think this is an outlandish stance you should come over to my house and try and live with me for a while.

 

I have MCS or multiple chemical sensitivities as a DIRECT cause from all the toxins in my environment. Every time I drive through town the exhaust fumes make me sick and the things that are happening in my body from the effects of the toxins would shock you. I don't wish to be too graphic, but if you can imagine being kicked in your privates and having to live with this kind of pain every day without drugs you are gtting close to what I go through nearly every day. I have to wear a mask to go outside.

 

I have been through every imaginable therapy out there for pain and stuff and also wholeheartedly agree with cancer being cause by unprocessed emotional trauma.  If you don't deal with what's really going on, then you live in denial and I wish you good luck.

 

Keep using your fabric softeners, because of them I cannot go for a walk in my neighborhod anymore without getting severe kidneypain and asthma. The world is run by petrochemical companies and pesticides are the worst. Everyone is brainwashed into thinking chemicals are good for you and that our bodies have unlimited amounts of energy to get rid of them. WRONG. Why are young girls now starting puberty at age 6, eh?

 

To save my hide I am getting out of dodge to go live in the country and I consider myself lucky, because I KNOW what I am dealing with. Millions live in the dark about the stuff that's out there and they will be the victims of chemical poisoning. All the automotive painters, X-ray lab technicians and hairdressers out there...you better start detoxing quickly! There is a reason why bleach-blondes are called dumb, because the bleach majorly disrupts your bodily functions and affects your brain!

 

I've been down the medical route...imagine going to the doctor to get treated for what you consider an illness, but what really is toxic overload, and getting more toxins put into you to help you. Three guesses why the drugs don't help and the side-effects are unbearable?

 

There is no doubt in my doctor's minds about what I have...and they are pretty humble about it and NONE of them dares to give me another drug, because they know unless it's life-threatening I can't take it. I have had to learn to treat myself energetically and it has helped tremendously. It'll become the catch-phrase of the new millenium...environmental illness and energetic medicine will be the number one treatment for everyone, because drugs do harm. We will go back to sophisticated homeopathic methods and develop new healing methods based on quatum medicine that will treat the body without harming it, but the chemicals can't be treated. They can only be avoided!

 

All I can say to the rest of the non-believers....just wait a while and you'll be in the same boat. It is my purpose here to do my part in shedding light on the massive dysfunction, but society just does not want to change and clean up their act. Yet.......! I wonder though...how bad is it going to have to get before people give up their stupid scented candles that smell up the bread in the grocery store? Costco is so insane, they put fertilizers and weed killers right smack-dab in the middle of the store so everyone can get a really nasty exposure to it and to have it settle in all the food as well. Needless to say I have not been at Costco in a couple of years and don't plan on going back there..ever...again! They don't care about people....just about the mighty profit. And I really don't like my chicken laced with fertilizers!

 

Don't argue with the canary..I've walked the walk and can now talk the talk and suggest to you for your own sake to listen carefully to every word I say, because it may save your from a lot of pain in the near future.

 

Good luck to you!

Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater.  There are some very valid premises here.  Go back and read it again.  I have survived heavy metal poisoning and cancer when I shouldn't have.  The mind is a powerful ally or enemy.

[Kathy Williams]

Actually that should have been powerfull alli or enemy.  Sorry.  And I am not saying that being sick is all in your head.  I am only saying your mind can make a huge difference.

[Amber Nunez]

You've misunderstood what I am saying is outlandish.  I meant that Kathy is saying cancer is something all people create for themselves by their thoughts is outlandish.

Nobody wants to die and from our experience working with people who
have been afflicted with cancer they want to live but need assistance

in knowing how to go about it. I feel that our intentions

Hi all. Refreshing to see some debate here.
The original author, who is named Mary (but its probably an alias),
said a number of things that were outrageous. I don't think everyone
with cancer has a death wish. I also agree that thought alone does not
give one cancer. But the author didn't say that either. She said it
was emotional trauma. But again, its not the trauma itself that causes
cancer. A better understanding is that it creates the conditions in
which cancer can then arise. Mary talks about this in the article,
running back 2 years.

If we study the medical literature, we can find stats like 80% of all
disease is directly stress related. Some say virtually all has stress
implicated, either causatively or contributively. If you consider
that many diseases, including cancer, are best healed by a healthy
immune system, its not a big jump to see that they started with a
compromised immune system. Our bodies are said to carry all kinds of
virulent diseases but our immune system normally handles them with
ease. If you look at standard stress charts, you can easily see the
role of emotional traumas in stress - even positive events like
marriage can be stressful. But note that thats a "can be". That all
depends on our perception and response to events. It is not the events
themselves but our response that determines how it affects us. This is
why some people thrive and grow after apparently disastrous events,
while others shrivel away over something supposedly great like
retirement. Certainly toxic exposures can be a factor, but they can be
physical, or from living in an emotionally toxic environment. We could
say that our modern understanding of medicine is a little mentally
toxic (laughs)

If we explore stress closely, we quickly find that it is resistance.
Some form of not allowing what is. From that perspective, its easy to
see life's stressor's as a way to teach us how to allow. How to move
forward in our spiritual growth. We know from Adams teaching and
others that we are not just physical creatures but energetic as well.
The auras display the layers of more subtle aspects of our being.

While our existence is a continuum, its easier to understand if we
divide it a bit. We have the physical values, where toxic and disease
exposures are direct. We have emotional and feeling values where our
responses and stressors can have a powerful impact on our immune
system. We have deeper semi-conscious mental values were we store our
belief systems and story. If those are threatened, that too is
stressor. And even deeper, we have our core identity, our ego sense of
who we are. Threats to those values can be very difficult. But they
are usually sub-conscious, so we have no direct conscious way of even
being aware of the dynamics. We simply experience irrational fear or
anger. Due to the nature of the ego to blame, to make other wrong so
it can be right, it will look to an external source for this fear,
often blaming what triggered it. Thats when you get into apparently
unresolvable internal conflicts - because its not all conscious.

And thats when you can get into life and death struggles with health -
when the ego feels threatened and can find no resolution that does not
threaten its identity. The unexpected aspect of all this unconscious
angst is that the ego is just an idea. A natural step in our
separation from mother that we've never outgrown.

Many teachers who suggest mindfulness ask us to be aware of how we are
feeling in the moment. That can often give us clues to our
subconscious dynamics. When you simply know something is wrong, you
discount it. But if you react, ask yourself why. That can give you
clues to your story.

You may not find this accurate but if you do your inner work and clear
away your backlogs, you will find yourself not only healthier but much
happier. And the above dynamics will slowly reveal themselves. One
day, that core sense of identity will become conscious. And then you
will see its folly and let it go. They call that waking up. Waking up
from the illusion of being separate and alone. Becoming who you always
were, beneath all the masks.

If you want to read more pontifications on the ego, you may enjoy this
http://in2deep.wordpress.com/2007/12/27/ego-process/

The other dynamic about the ego is what some like Tolle call the
"story". Some call it the Shadow. The little story we tell ourselves
about who we are, the way the world is, and why we are treated the way
we are. The story that the identity makes up. Often, when we're about
9 or 10 years old, there is a key life event that the ego latches onto
that begins the play of the story in earnest. Its a story we've been
playing for a long time, that arises from our deeper past. Only now,
there is waking up going on. People like Adam are helping us step back
into the drivers seat and take control of our health and well-being.
And that then helps us discover who we really are. More about the
story and deep past here:

Hi Elke

I have twice been challenged by "sick building". The first time, my
office moved into a new tower. It was using then modern air
recirculation techniques and the construction solvents hung in the air
for weeks. Many of us got low level sicknesses. My reaction was high
blood pressure for no apparent reason. I realized the connection when
I noticed it would clear up on long weekends. My doc was deeply
disturbed and ordered me to quit.

The second time, I was working in a high security warehouse that
stored a lot of variably toxic things. Even storing things that had
killed other people. (long story) The job itself was highly stressful,
with legal and control freak conflicts of a bizarre nature. Gradually,
I started to get skin, eye, sinus, and various other problems. I
looked like I'd been in a fight. It turned out that the areas had no
ventilation, so I was working in a toxic stew you wouldn't believe.
Ironically, the main room was full of ventilation equipment but none
of it actually vented the room itself.

I was sent to see various specialists who were of no help other than
giving it names. The organization got into a conflict about who should
pay for the new ventilation. It goes on and on.

The solution for me was 2 fold. First, I went to see an Ayervedic doc.
You may find that valuable if you've not already explored that. In
just a few moments, he had identified the core issue. He asked me to
remove 3 specific foods from my diet, take a few low cost herbs, and
have fresh vegetable juices for breakfast and lunch for a few weeks.
Everything started to clear up, even though I was still in the toxic
workspace.

Eventually, it became apparent that the best long term solution was
for me to leave the job. The organization recognized I could have sued
their pants off and my replacement was treated like a queen. (laughs)

My nose is still a little more sensitive than some but I'm otherwise
fine now.

A friend of mine is on a trip to India to have panchakarma - an
ayervedic whole system purification. The ayervedic clinics are cheaper
there and she gets a holiday from the prairie winter in the process. I
fully agree we'll be shifting to a more holistic care - especially
when people start to see others around them happy and healthy in ways
we've forgotten are possible. As you observe, we have fallen into
lowest common denominator view of health - treat the symptoms and feed
the hunger. We've lost the person in the rush to find happiness where
it doesn't exist. .

Good luck on your journey to wholeness. Its fully possible.

Great words of wisdom! Thank you for your input and clarification, Frank.

 

I have been thinking about this subject for quite some time now and have realized that there must be multiple approaches and intention is just one of them when you are dealing with cancer or chronic illness.

 

I hope I can find the right words to communicate what I wish to say!

 

The biggest hurdle for a person with a chronic disease and who tries to start healing is to be guilt-tripped by their own beliefs that they caused this illness themselves. I have met individuals who suffered from cancer and they tried everything in their power to heal, only to still succumb to the illness after all. Many were frustrated and feel that they had failed...themselves and their families, because they still passed on. But they never saw the journey they took and what it taught them. They were unaware or not awakened yet to the work that a soul could do.

 

I watched someone close to me pass on and I knew in my heart that they were very angry at their families for having let them down in a time of need. This person sacrificed themself for everyone and expected the same in return from others and the family would not cooperate. This anger over perceived unmet needs became internalized (amongst other causes, of course), and the target organ became the liver...the seat of emotion according to Chinese Medicine. I think that is what the first poster was trying to say. To bring attention to possible underlying psychological causes IS important and should not be neglected. But we cannot lay blame. There is a difference between identifying a problem and by blaming. Blaming makes one a victim, but information empowers you and gives you the tools to help heal.

 

What I observed ( and there is no blame intended here, just an observation), that many people focused on their bodies, yet their environment around them stayed the same and their family dynamics never got healed. If one lives in a dysfunctional environment or even a toxic one, the body may not have all the necessary building blocks to help repair. That is when it becomes useful to look a little deeper to find out what could be causing the symptoms. Maybe there is a lack of purpose in a person's life? Maybe there has been too much stress and their lifestyle needs some re-thinking? Many cancer survivors say that the illness taught them so many valuable lessons and by re-shaping their lives for a better fit for them they were able to heal.

 

Positive intention puts you square on the road to healing and it is absolutely crucial to the process, because you create a new blueprint for your body and your cells. From that needs to follow that the rest of the environment shifts around a person as well. We don't exist in a bubble and are all affected by each others and the earth's energy.

 

Laying blame absolutely does not help. We cannot say that our kids made us get disease X or our bosses drove us around the bend and consequently we suffered a nervous breakdown. That is pointless. Acceptance of what is at this time at this place is crucial, yet if you are sucking in toxic fumes every day and have developed cancer from it, perhaps a change in environment might be in order. Know thy enemy!

 

If we can help those who are unable to see their health at a time when they need hope the most, a new vision by providing positive templates or images to help their bodies, then much is done to help as Adam does so well. Yet I still feel there is a strong environmental aspect that needs to be adressed that contributes to healing.

Elke and Frank - beautifully put. Thanks!

I have also found forgiveness to be a key tool in release. Thats
sometimes hard to get to. The way I found worked was through
gratitude. Reminding myself regularly of different things I had to be
grateful for. In my case, I used the gratitude rock idea from The
Secret. But theres different ways. Then every so often, I found myself
in a place of openness where I could forgive. I found there was
baggage for pretty much every relationship in my life, even ones I
thought fully resolved. But their release was simply a matter of
allowing the remaining feelings to wash over me. In a moment they were
complete and gone. Baggage I had carried for years was toast.

This can take a little time, like peeling the layers of onion. But the
attention, and intention is well worth it.

Not only does this lead to a lighter load but a new richness of
feeling, of openness, and of a deep inner satisfaction. That is the
value of true healing, not just physical comfort.

[Elke Hutton]

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful David.

Very eloquent and excellently put.

 

That is why the healing journey is work and not for the faint of heart. You must look under each stone and examine yourself with honesty - and that can only be achieved by setting the ego aside - and then make the appropriate changes. It may be something as simple as switching or omitting some foods or as big as a move across country! You may have to leave some people behind in your life and change stuff and that does not come easy for some folks. In my studies of astrology I have found that individual personalities vary greatly...some are more stuck within themselves, while others can change on a dime and with the weather. Everyone is different, but some people have a really difficult time to stray from their pre-conceived script of what their life should be like, so when they need to do some healing and make changes that is often quite difficult for them.

 

A simple and easy to read book on all this is  "The Four Agreements" by Don Miguel Ruiz. Or "The Power of Now" or "A New Earth" by Eckart Tolle, made so popular right now by Oprah's webcast. They all lead to awakening so one can see themselves from a bystanders position, so we can identify our behaviours and change them. As my friend and mentor always says....identify and cut the cords. Sometimes I see myself like a hydra, with all these energetic cords coming out of me that connect me to my parents, my friends, even the members of this group. Anything dysfunctional or maladaptive can be severed with intent. Memories hold energetic cords and painful one's can be released by snipping the cord with an imaginary pair of scissors. You can allow the most powerful one's to go straight to your heart and have the bond strengthened by sending pure thoughts of love through it. THAT is really healing.

 

First comes the thought and then the energy follows. Healing happens from the inside out. We must heal our outer layers of our energy bodies so we can work our ways towards the middle...our 3-D bodies. Illness in our 3-D bodies is just an expression of what happens in the outer energy field. I have met people who were so ill energetically, that they could not be touched physically and could not tolerate any form of physical therapy, because their entire soul had been so wounded by an accident, that they couldn't take anymore. With energetic healing of the outer layers, eventually the body became stronger and could tolerate more hands-on approaches, which was beautiful to watch.

 

Gosh..there is so much more to say...I could talk for hours, but dinner has to be made!

 

Hugs to you all,

Elke

The way they are building now is no good...too airtight, problems with ventilation and exhausts etc. Designers don't take the human beings into consideration who work in these buildings. It is so sad. "Bau-Biology" is a necessity as far as I am concerned and vital to ensure our working force stays healthy, but the powers to be don't think so! There are consequences for everything and it sadens me greatly when human beings are sacrificed left/front and sideways for the mighty buck!

The second time, I was working in a high security warehouse that

Most people don't realize that jobs, people and thoughts can be toxic as well!

I was sent to see various specialists who were of no help other than
giving it names. The organization got into a conflict about who should
pay for the new ventilation. It goes on and on.

When I get exposed to certain chemicals my kidneys don't work very well and I think are damaged on a subtle level. Sometimes they don't concentrate very well, so I was sent for what is called a water deprivation test, which had to be done at a local hospital. The doc litterally had to lie and cheat to get me in, as they would not have done the test otherwise (political crap), but I was having these yoyo results, which they could not explain. I had to give a urine sample every hour and had to have a blood draw as well hourly, which was checked with the lab every hour to watch how my body was concentrating. So to make a long story short, the doc kept running to me going..great, now your kidneys are concentrating....you can go home right away. The next hour they weren't and the doc scratched his head. This went on all day and finally I was told that my kidneys were concentrating, which was good news. They couldn't explain the hick-ups though. I finally put it together....I sat below an air-intake vent and every time a truck idled in front of the vent the fumes got sucked in, where I breathed them in and they disrupted my kidney function. That is how some of this stuff can affect us...and that is just one example! I get rocked and thrown around depending on which chemical I am exposed to at the moment. It's quite interesting! Needless to say I made my point and told the doc what I thought. He did not say anything, but by the look on his face I could see that waht I said made perfect sense to him. He just couldn't admit it.

The solution for me was 2 fold. First, I went to see an Ayervedic doc.
You may find that valuable if you've not already explored that. In
just a few moments, he had identified the core issue. He asked me to
remove 3 specific foods from my diet, take a few low cost herbs, and

workspace.

 

I have not tried Ayurvedic Medicine yet because I have not found someone I felt I could trust. If it's meant to happen it will. I basically have to work with myself on an energetic basis only. Even naturopathic medicine has difficulty with me. I am an empath and highly sensitive, which as far as I am concerned is a gift, but when it comes to being treated it can be a challenge. But I always think that my body is protecting me from harm. So I listen...very closely! I also have problems detoxing now, because anything that comes out of me has to be processed by my body, which does not work very well anymore. My bucket is full. I am the endresult of what happens when toxicity goes on for too long, but again...I am working on it...gently!

Eventually, it became apparent that the best long term solution was
for me to leave the job. The organization recognized I could have sued
their pants off and my replacement was treated like a queen. (laughs)

My nose is still a little more sensitive than some but I'm otherwise
fine now.

 

You are very lucky. It's good to catch it before you suffer lasting damage. I now have impaired detox pathways, but as far as I am concerned there is nothing that can't be fixed. You just have to be darn creative and I do visualizations to go deep inside my DNA and re-program it. I think that's what Adam does as well, but again, everyone is different.

A friend of mine is on a trip to India to have panchakarma - an
ayervedic whole system purification. The ayervedic clinics are cheaper

This trip to India sounds fabulous. Could you send me more info on that? I will be moving to the Praires in July and am not looking forward to the long winter there and a trip to India would be really cool (when I am a little better...moving across the country is stressful!)

 

We've lost the person in the rush to find happiness where
it doesn't exist.

 

That is my biggest heartache. When are we going to remember that we are all one and are all connected? When someone hurts another person they hurt themselves as well. We are all so precious and should cherish each other!

Oh well...it's coming. I just have to be a bit more patient.

Good luck on your journey to wholeness. Its fully possible.
David

 

Thank you David for your kind words. I am grateful to have had this conversation with you.

Hi Elke

Yes, there are as many unique individuals as there are people. Each of
us is here to express a different aspect of wholeness.

A book I read recently that was unexpected is "Busting Loose from the
Money Game" by Robert Scheinfeld. While he uses our relationship with
money as a starting point, the book really has little to do with $.
More about our relationship with who we are and our illusions. Its far
more advanced than The Secret. He touches on relationships, work, and
of course health.

Sometimes, illness arises from the physical and throws off our energy.
Sometimes, it originates in an energy value (thoughts, emotions, etc)
and throws off the physical. Almost always the key is restoring
balance, then allowing the body to heal itself. Adam's techniques
allow us to enhance that process. One of the barriers to healing is
resistance - our unwillingness to fully accept what is. In learning
about our illness and seeing it healed, we move into fully
experiencing it and thus fully allowing it. Thats when healing can
really happen. We could call that a side-effect of Adams techniques
(laughs). The mastery of its simplicity.

Your reference to cutting cords is interesting. Many people experience
these as simply a release or letting go, or perhaps a lifting or
lightness. Seeing yourself visibly cutting them is of course an
experiential metaphor, a kind of visualization. But the idea of
threads is deeper than that. They call them sutras in India. There are
threads of ignorance, of bondage, and threads of truth, expressed as
aphorisms and sung in traditional chants. They are that which stitches
together reality. What you refer to is of course the threads of
bondage, of illusion. Our experience of the world is often through a
kind of mesh of these threads or cords. As we gradually release them,
we reach a point where the illusion collapses, the mesh lets go. What
is most fascinating about that is that it literally changes our
reality. Even to causality. All of the ideas of "karma" and obligation
and all that collapse and true causality becomes obvious. Hard to
describe in a few sentences.

On Building, there is a new trend called LEEDs or green building.
Heavily oriented towards natural materials and sunlight and fresh air.
Most governments have now mandated it for new construction of their
own and its begun to move into the private sector. Theres a huge
project here in Victoria underway. And whats even cooler is that its
bringing with it ideas of construction based on energy values,
buildings that will in and of themselves be healing to be in. Based on
Vastu or Feng Shui. I've been in a couple of houses like this and they
are remarkable - the house itself has a presence. I know of an office
tower and Marriot hotel being built near Washington thats both green
and Vastu. Very cool.

The Ayervedic doc I used has evidently moved back east. Dr. Lad has a
great intro book. His site has some basic materials as an intro

I know a few people who could probably recommend someone if you're
interested.

I was not impressed with naturopathy. Some of the techniques were less
than healthy and there was a silliness around some things. For
example, they poo-pooed chiropractic yet did something similar. Many
of their solutions were alcohol based, itself a reactive. In any case,
it didn't help.

I think you may find that your sensitivity is only partly due to
toxicity but more to do with imbalance. If you review what Ayerveda
says about Vata, you can see how a Vata (air, movement) imbalance can
cause increased sensitivity and a more reactive system. You may be
surprised what can increase Vata. For example, if you are eating a lot
of raw foods, normal in the west for purifying, it will increase Vata.
Vata balance needs more cooked food. The solutions can be as simple as
that.

I would also suggest you may need to revise your thinking a little.
Some of your wording illustrates a perspective that sees your body as
wrong. Like a desire to change your DNA. I can assure you, there is
nothing wrong with your DNA. Seeing your body as wrong helps to keep
you sick rather than healing. Its a very easy mistake to make when
its seems to be the experience. But your body is doing the best it can
with the circumstances it has. Gently is indeed the way to be. As
Adam says, help your body with your ideas and visualizations.

And patient, yes. Patience with yourself most of all. As Tolle says,
its so important to move towards acceptance of what is. Anything else
is not allowing. That is resistance and is the root of illness.

I'll see what she had to say about India and send you a note offline.
