1. When everything first started naturally I didn't know much about my body. I mean that is what Dr's are for right? Well When I couldn't swallow I thought the inside of my mouth was falling apart or something. I didn't realize that my body was made better than that. I used to walk up to people and ...

My blood pressure has been dropping to 90/60 when I meditate. When I do the relaxation cd.

The dr did a complete blood count and said I am fine.

When I get to the dr's office my blood pressure is ok.

Is this due to anxiety as well?

Does blood pressure go down when laying down and or sleeping?

I have went into a walmart twice now and a large mall. So far so good:) I didn't run back out scared or anything.

It felt good to just relax and listen to the christmas music in the store and watch people and enjoy shopping for a change.

I am getting ready to start over again on this program. This time I want to make sure to do it exactly how it says.

Mainly the journal parts. I ordered book number 1 and finally got it in the mail.

Now I can start and have the book. Hopefully this helps even more than before.

Did anyone else fear that God was giving you panic attacks for something you did? I found myself going from a simple, silly hearted person to someone that almost has to live a ...

He ordered a cardiogram. Well I have been...
