Lyme Disease

As many of you know Lyme disease has become very prevalent in our area. It is a very insidious spirochete that buries itself deep into the tissue and frequently mutates, so you never know if you ever have gotten rid of it. It has become more widespread , with the onset of the much hotter temperatures.

I myself recently came down with a case of it. My symptoms were headaches and a persistent tight band that started underneath the base of my skull and went down the left side of my neck into my left shoulder. Almost felt like a band within the connective tissue that wouldn't let go. Others may experience flu like symptoms, brain fog and joint pain. Left untreated it can enter into the Central Nervous System and wreak havoc.

Weeks of this (atypical for me) neck pain propelled me into the doctor's office where a blood test revealed a much higher titre level for Lyme disease. I did a course of antibiotics, but still felt pain and tightness in my neck and couldn't turn my head to the left. A friend told me about his success with high frequency radio waves that penetrate the body and break apart the cell wall of the pathogen. Remember the opera singer shattering a wine glass with her voice? I have been experimenting with the frequencies and have seen great healing results. It felt like my body was being cleansed at a very deep level. Think of this as deep detoxification, cleansing the body of the Lyme disease spirochete and other coinfections.

Nutrition Response Testing has been invaluable in knowing what my body needs. I truly feel having been feeding my body high quality organic food for the past 2 years, as well as taking whole food supplements and powerful herbs, has strengthened my Immune System. All have been important in healing Lymes.

Keeping Ourselves Company

Embodiment in the Present-Compassion for Ourselves

As far as pacing we need to put some red flags in our awareness so when a certain behavior starts happening we can know oh, I'm going too fast. I need to slow down and catch back up with myself. The red flag could be oh I'm starting to get irritable or I'm beginning to feel afraid or lost. Or I'm losing touch with what is happening around me. If any of those things start flaring up we can say oh I'm moving too fast and take steps to slow ourselves back down.

Mindfulness, slowing our breath, grounding physically, checking in with our young self from adult awareness all bring us back to present time which is where it is most comfortable to hang out! Also using adult eyes to look around us and actually see where we are is a very powerful tool.

Beth W. write "Over the last six months doing Feldenkrais and receiving CranioSacral Therapy, I've seen how it's impacted different parts of my life. I'm in a weight lifting program, and I feel that I'm able to do it safely and with more ease because of the way my body is moving. I'm sitting up straighter in chairs and standing taller without realizing it; it's just happening! It feels great. What has surprised me the most is to see that I also feel better emotionally. I feel more "with" myself without effort. I am deeply grateful to have met Ed, because I'm accustomed to traveling to New York to find a practitioner with his range of skills. I can't say enough about his work and the power it has to change lifelong patterns of poor habits and emotional and physical stuckness."
