Veronica, I learned of it by seeing Debbie Ford on Oprah's Super Soul Sunday. Really good interview.

Jan, I had an "interesting" reaction to your comments about me. Ouch. I'm all neatly summarized and categorized and pigeon-holed after one post.

Veronica! Thank you, this is exactly what I needed to hear. I love the term, "psychoarcheology". Perfect. I think I have held fears of this vision of my having to rant and rave and weep and rail against all the injustices of life after digging and digging-----when I know deep in my heart no...

Thanks, Leslie, for your taking the time to comment. As Byron Katie asks, "Who would you be without your story?" I used to have that on a T-shirt. I kinda believe it for myself. Again, thanks, Kathy

Thank you too for your reply. I firmly believe the 1000's of testimonies I find here and in Sarno's experience. I think I am alive today because I believed in the power of the mindbody view. I wish I had no experience with it and had come to it fresh like so many who were relieved of pain...

Thank you kindly for your reply. Yes, I have even spent great money to learn Transcendental Meditation, and moved to a spiritual community for 6 months that practices TM. I had lunch with John Kabat-Zinn, author and teacher of mindfulness, on one occasion. Again, I think I am getting a pay...

I fear this is all I am doing. I strongly believe in TMS , but likely for all others-- and not me who is "uniquely defective", perhaps? There couldn't be a more arduous student than me regarding psychosomatic disease. 80% of the authors mentioned by Sarno have been in my library for 30 years...

I loaded and unloaded a Uhaul trailer to the max just recently and told myself that I wasn't used to this kind of labor and that soreness was probably to be expected. But I also paid attention to the muttering and cursing under my breath where the pity party for myself was going on in my head...

No big insights to report. Nothing to "WOW" anyone with. Just showing up.

Even though I have been journaling sporadically for more than 6 days, this is my 6th post, so I'm calling it day 6. I find that when I write about troubling emotions, I ask myself: ".....and then what would happen?......and then what would happen?......and then what would happen?" over and...

Yes, Leslie! I have to work at talking about the feelings, identifying the feelings, locating the feelings in my body. I just drove almost 1000 miles pulling a trailer through the mountains to relocate for a job, so I am frazzled and trying to get into a groove. It's so nice to have a "real"...

Thank goodness, Terry that my little four legged friend is better equipped for unconditional love than I am. It's why I adore her so. Thanks for taking the time to reply. See, I thought that jumping to "owning it" was the mature and enlightened approach. I've got to "enjoy" the wallowing a...
