We Are Limitless

While writing "Transcending MS", I had to go back in time in a way I had never gone before. I had always focused on moving forward; focusing on health and not on the disease. I was in total denial about there being anything wrong with my body. I insisted on thinking I was healthy, with days where my body was just a little "off." Ultimately it worked for me and brought me to health. But at the time of writing and trying to recollect how I felt physically when I was diagnosed and prior, I began to feel those same symptoms while writing. I was physically reliving what I had gone through all those years ago and the same symptoms began manifesting in my body. As it was happening, fear settled in my body and mind and I began asking myself if I was kidding myself; and maybe I was not as healthy as I was writing I was. It was time to put into practice what I believed so strongly. I sat on the floor, closed my eyes, stepped back mentally and focused on how my body was really feeling. At that moment the symptoms which had manifested from my memories gently evaporated. No more dizziness or instability. In the moments that followed, I sat in silence and scanned my body slowly. I was in a place of total relaxation and in awe of how powerful my mind was. What was created emotionally through my memories and fears, was very real to my body. Only when I brought down the stress that was being created, was I able to let the body know that there was nothing wrong with it and nothing to fear. Our minds are very powerful and will create disturbances in the body. Stress has a way of sneaking up on us. The effects of unmanaged stress can have devastating effects on us. Tuning into the body and giving it the space for relaxation and healing is key to bringing back balance and health. There is no limit to what we can do with self-love and compassion.
