It's been a while since I last posted. I last posted about how I healed and everything was great and recently my life and health has been thrown into upheaval. Right now I am experiencing something called tenesmus. For the past 24 hours I've been constipated and have waves of HORRIBLE cramping...

gaming, weight training, tennis, filmmaking, watching movies --- THIS is what you should be focusing on. This is what matters. This is what's important. The symptoms are a distraction from that. Best wishes :)

You may be thinking of mindfulness in a way that is counterproductive. Mindfulness can permeate every aspect of your life to the point that your entire life literally becomes a meditation if you choose. What I hear in your response is a lot of resistance, which I can relate to. Resistance...

Wanted to post here too because I noticed something you said that stood out to me. You say you had a “genuine virus.” The mindbody lowers your immune system to allow viruses and bacteria to give us very real infections all the time. They’re real like you said. But that doesn’t mean the mindbody...

Hey there. I have a few thoughts. You’re overthinking this. You’re working way too hard on healing TMS which is ironically making it worse. What do you enjoy doing? What are some of your favorite hobbies? I genuinely want to know. :)

Hello there :) Let me try to address each concern separately. 1. Every human being on the planet has responsibilities to others whether they like it or not (unless they’re a hermit living alone in the mountains, and even then they have a responsibility to themselves to keep themselves alive...

Great to connect with you! I completely agree about the being burnt out thing. I have a full time job (40 hrs a week) and my commute is 3 hrs per day round trip, plus I have been starting two new businesses this past year on the side -- oh, and did I mention I also have been doing small home...

Guilt of this sort serves as a distraction. We are all human and it's part of what makes you, you. It certainly has given you a sense of compassion -- now how can that be bad? :)

You do not feel anxiety in your mind. It’s impossible. Anxiety is a body sensation. Emotions exist in the body not the mind. Feel the anxiety in your body and allow it to be there. Eventually it will pass.

Don’t try to stop being afraid.... try to just... *be* No, that’s not something yoda said. I know it sounds like it. But what you need to do is to get excited about life and living and to allow yourself to be afraid, but not allow the symptoms to control your behavior. You got this.

So nice to connect with you :) For many years, I was still bothered by the fact that the pain remained and wondered what I was doing wrong. In fact sometimes I wonder about some people who have very quick recoveries from back pain, are they really recovered or have their symptoms merely...

There’s only ONE THING that you need to understand if you want to get better and it’s not what you think it is. It is simply this: Your goal cannot be to be healed of TMS. Your goal must be to awaken to the fundamental nature of who you are. Once you have truly awakened and find yourself on...

The title says it all. Enough is enough. Due to the encouragement and love of the people on the board I have finally begun the SEP. I just finished day 2 assignments and I’ve been crying non stop for 2 days but not in a sad way. In a refreshing way, like I’m finally getting to say what I needed...
