Pecos~ Thanks so much for sharing your method(s). I know how cathartic and healing journaling can be..and how much it can shed that often prayed for bright light into the darkest corners of our being. Currently, I am experiencing a disturbing journaling avoidance. This has had me paralyzed for weeks...

Yes, Pecos. I always enjoy reading your posts and try to glean what I can from them. I am not feeling particularly successful "working" this program, having severe (frightening) depression and I feel as if I am scrambling to find anything to comfort, console, uplift me. Please share? Gentleness~ She...

Hello All~ I've written and edited and rewritten this post a dozen different times and none of it sounds right when I read it back, so I'm just going to cut to the chase and push "send."

Hello: Simply put and not to address ALL of the issues presented in your post, what came to mind for me after reading it was this: When we are stressed out and/or anxious, we want to feel better.

Shaky Susie: This is one of my chief complaints and one of THE most uncomfortable body sensations that I have. It's like having a major hot flash one minute and then teeth chattering cold the next. I do believe that sometimes, for me anyway, it is hormonal. Adrenaline can cause so many bodily sympto...

Hello all: As usual, I awoke this morning with a surge of adrenaline, did some breathing, stretching (still in pjs and in bed) and reached over to my nightstand to turn the bedside table lamp on. There's been a book there that I have had some trepidation about beginning but I'm really glad I did sta...

And so here I sit. My hands are shaking so badly that I have accidentally erased several starter posts now, which is just soooo frustrating. I haven't had one this bad in a while now. The "float don't fight" has been a good thing for me, and yet I just found myself wanting to run and the IBS is sooo...

Hello, Holly~ Ginger is great for nausea. Peppermint is as well, but causes a good deal of acid in the tummy. Ginger, on the other hand, is used for motion sickness as well as nausea, so i would try that. A few drops of the essential oil in a foot spa is a great treat for when you are pampering your...
