Many of us will have been taught to hide or cure our physical symptoms on our own, or even to have surgery or medication to get rid of them. When we actually do this, we are telling our subconciousness that, as an individual, we aren’t important, and we insist that we haven’t the time to heal ourselves naturally. But, if we look at the first symptoms that we have had, then we can treat these as the first indication that something is untoward. We can treat ourselves with natural remedies and cure most of our health related issues. You will find that your body will tell you the truth and you will learn from your own emotions and challenges.

When you look at yourself in the mirror, you may recognise that your own emotional pain as a “physical art form,” and that it will transform before you and your body will heal a devastating disease. Personally and by the age of 35, I felt comfortable in my new clothes, home and car. Many different companies hired me to help them with their business problems, and I would normally work at least 14 hours a day.

However, one day came and it was all over. I was with a medical specialist who diagnosed me with rosacea – an incurable, deforming, disfiguring facial skin disease. By treating myself as a machine that would continue non-stop had caught up with me. I would see no mercy from the disease as it continued to worsen over the next 5 years. All of my financial resources were spent going to medical specialists and naturopathic practitioners – I wanted to understand how my own immune system could heal and repair my own body.

I believed that my body was its own environment and chose not to take any form of medication that the doctors would look to provide me with. After speaking to fifty doctors, I was still finding myself searching for answers. This made me more determined to prove there was something else I could do to help me heal myself naturally, but after all this time had gone by I began to doubt myself.

By the time I had reached 40, my skin was red and looked inflamed, and I would need to rid myself of boils on a daily basis. Also, the sight was going in my eyes and I could not read or drive any longer. This made a huge impact on the dreams I had about travelling and seeing the world, and I came to realise why people actually take their own lives because of the pain they are going through.

After this, I met a Chinese doctor who gave me a diagnosis that was different from all of the other physicians. He said that the disease wasn’t just in my face, but it was concerned with the natural biological rhythms of my body not being in harmony – and this resulted in my face being directly affected because of the emotional fear and stress. This doctor also saw other symptoms of exhaustion through other indicators when he examined me. He said that my body felt lifeless and frail, and that I must find peace at whatever price. I was happy that there was a different opinion.

After this encounter I decided to begin emotional therapy. I first addressed the fears which had consumed me since my diagnoses, and then went back further through my past. I looked to face my work addiction and decided that I needed to treat my mental disease of being a workaholic – as I had denied a lot of personal things in life. I had felt a personal feeling of worthiness and thus needed to push the addiction forward. I wanted to stay busy and this resulted in exhaustion which caused me to feel angry and resentful because I had done this. I had served others for many years and this had impacted negatively on me and I didn’t stop doing it until my friends stopped me.

After one year of sharing my painful story, crying and releasing my pent-up emotions and work addiction patterns within a safe community, a miracle took place. I healed physically without scars and my eye sight returned to normal. For years I had been on a healthy diet and exercise program that also assisted my body in this transformation. My miracle-healing story became my path. It was natural for me to go into the holistic field and teach people how to heal, prevent physical health challenges, and find greater joy.
