I woud like to officially honor and welcome all of you. I really want anyone who is part of this group to freely express themselves in whatever manner sees fit. Maybe you are an artist and have beautifully sculpted an emotion which can't be quite captured in words. Maybe you have song or a drawing that speaks to you and moves your heart. Perhaps you just need a place where no one judges you. A place where inhibition only stops you from growing. . I understand we all have vices that stunt our growth. We we born into this life to make and create our destinies. I feel our challenges are our greatest gifts at times. It takes great strength in a time of vulnerability to recognize this. For example I have started to draw since my eczema has been so bad. It has been very debilitating and emotionally draining, but drawing has helped soothe the beast that so longs to itch inside of me. I would like for everyone here to help and support each other in a kind and loving way. Honesty is also very important, but share your honesty politely. We want to come from a place of love when helping others heal. We tend to lie to ourselves the most quite often. Do not run from what hurts you, be strong and face your pain. Once you have recognized what cleansing needs to take place in your body you will have a better chance to heal. Please feel free to share with us your stories over any triumphs over any illnesses. Even if it helps one person, you are still giving to the whole world, for then they will share it with someone else. Take of the bandaids and whatever else hides you from the world. Bask in your glory and know that you are loved. We are all here for you.
Be Well, Joy

Re: Set yourself free...
Sun, February 11, 2007 - 8:28 AMi have literally tried everything at this point. i even have made me own creams with different herbs in them. The thing that gets me is how I manifested my eczema. Both my boyfriend and i try to rack our brains everyday and observe my diet. However could it just possibly be stress? I did come from a pretty severe weather change. I lived in California for 3 months and came back to New England. I'm just going to get allergy tested. I'm really struggle with the idea of conventional medicine but perhaps another opinion is necessary. I have not factored out the mind body spirit connection however. I feel quite disconnected lately and am trying to find my way "home" again. I'm sure that is a big part of it. -

Re: :::::eczema:::::
Sun, February 11, 2007 - 2:56 PMmmm...ANGER MUAH? NEVER! I have always been aware that when liver is in an imbalance that causes skin issues, but never that it corresponded with feelings of anger. That is interesting. Makes since seeing how I have some unresolved anger that needs to be sifted through and thrown away. Is it trash day yet? -

Anger

Re: Anger
Sun, February 11, 2007 - 6:44 PMSometimes when i'm mad I put on some good raw rock and roll and just belt it out. I was thinking of getting apunching bag to put in my house. I used to have so much anger that I would abuse myself physically. Well...that doesn't quite fly with me anymore. When I was a kid my mother would beat me then tellme not to cry. So for years it's as if something inside of my self conscious is stopping me from crying. Talk about have a childhood imprint eh...I did go to this Belly and Womb Conference where I was with 58 other women who all shared in teh same wound, but different pain. It was a place where we could express ourselves freely no inhibitions. I still held back. I mean I did cry a lot, but I knew I had more to get out. I had such adetox after that I had a screaming headache and was nasea. I just have this part of me that feels like I can't let people see my weaknesses. I've always been the strong one, but now I'm ready to be held. -

Re: Anger
Tue, February 13, 2007 - 4:15 PMhey, joy, have you tried affirmations? often they work when nothing else will. write/say/think i, joy, am now ready to release my anger in a healthy way. or i, joy, am now truly healing. over and over and over. as much as you can, until you feel you are done i guess, but to my understanding, more is more. and write all your feelings that come up, and cry and scream and be held. that is really horrible what your mother did to you. you have all my love and support, sister. -

Re: Anger
Tue, February 13, 2007 - 7:45 PMThank you for your support. The days are getting a bit easier for me. The other night i sat in the tub with some lavendar and just let the water hold me as I cried telling myself it was ok to hurt, it was ok to be weak, and that I was going to get better. This may sound weird but today I had a conversation with my skin telling her how I understood her pain, and she has protected me well that It was ok to hurt. I did this as I gently massaged my ointment on. She knows she has served me well and has showed me all the pain I have so I could get better. I told her how beautiful and supple she is and thanked her. We had a nice day. -

This is the maximum depth. Additional responses will not be threaded.

Re: Anger
Thu, February 15, 2007 - 6:55 AMI have done the same thing, J, with different parts of My BODy.*
I think it's when I feel the most gentle with myself that I feel more integrated & calm.
I love that you said this:
===I've always been the strong one, but now I'm ready to be held.===
I also like that I'm getting to know you thru what you are sharing.

Re: Set yourself free...
Thu, February 22, 2007 - 12:43 PMI so need a place to vent and let it all out. I am going through some stuff now that is very confusing. I also suffer from panic attacks, depression and generalized anxiety. So I can use a good place to chat and let go of what is inside. I write poetry, scrapbook and take pictures to release my emotions. I am so glad I found this group!
