A Serious Disease, My Troubled Past and Manifesting a Healthy Solution
M. writes:
This summer I was diagnosed with hyperparathyroidism. This is a silent and deadly killer that often goes undiagnosed. The four parathyroid glands control the amount of calcium in the blood. When one of these glands develops a tumor it becomes hyper and sends out too much calcium. The result is that the bones dump much larger than normal amounts of calcium into the blood.
What follows is a weakening of the bones and the high levels of blood calcium can do serious damage to many of the organs and systems in the body. This disease presents itself in many different ways and is very difficult to diagnose. Chronic fatigue is common as well as problems with different organs, blood pressure, altered moods and many more. If this is not treated the person usually dies from major organ failure or stroke.
A good source of information about this disease can be found at www.parathyroid.com
I don’t believe that illnesses are always the result of ”wrong thinking.” Our bodies are very complex and so is the environment in which we live.
As a nurse, I understand things like viruses, superbugs, chemical imbalances and lifestyle choices. As a spiritual person, I believe we can be greatly influenced by our own thoughts and feelings. We know that what we think and feel can be translated into chemical responses throughout the body. Fear triggers a different response than being in love.
I reviewed my life and some very interesting facts emerged. I was in a “traditional” marriage for 40 years. My husband was the head of the family and my job was to take care of him, the kids and keep a happy home. I was the good wife. I held my tongue and did not stand up for my needs. I buried my hurt deep inside my heart and worked to exhaustion at times to make sure everyone was cared for. I didn’t rock the boat and I remained sweet and supportive.
The disease I was suffering with attacked my body and soul in symbolic locations. It hit my bones, throat, heart and drained the energy of my spirit. I felt a correlation between my bones and the fact that I didn’t stand up to my needs in the past. I had tumors entangled in my throat, perhaps from a lack of using my voice to express myself. My heart experienced high blood pressure and palpitations. I was carrying the weight of unfulfilled dreams, hurts, longings, and disappointments.
This disease drained my spirit of energy so I was fatigued all the time and suffered erratic sleep patterns. It affected my concentration and memory as well.
I was not in good shape so I set forth an action to be healed. I used the techniques and information in Manifesting 123. Since the book explained how my thoughts actually create what I think, I felt empowered to imagine a future where I had been returned to perfect health. I did this every day using the simple movie technique and I expressed gratitude for my healing.
I did a lot of research and came across a hospital with the doctors and experience that felt comfortable to me. This hospital was across the country from my home but everything I needed for the trip fell into place beautifully. I was assigned to a team of surgeons and the head of surgery took the lead on my operation. I’m very grateful for their work. The head surgeon told me afterwards that the procedure was a challenge because the tumor has grown around my vocal chords.
The surgery went wonderfully and I had a very fast recovery from my debilitating disease. Further, I have forgiven myself for any negative thoughts and choices I have made. I’m committed to remain healthy by standing up for myself and speaking to my needs. I allow my heart to feel safe with my emotions and I lovingly feed and take care of my body and spirit.
I still can’t believe how everything fell into place so quickly and how dramatically I returned to health. Looking back, I can see how my past thoughts and actions may have played into my illness. My friend Judy Goodman, who plays a large role in the book, makes a statement, ”Our thoughts raise up to meet us and create the path we travel on.”
Did I manifest all of those? I’ll let you decide for yourself. As for me, I now examine my thoughts, roles and relationships very carefully. I understand how our thoughts and choices create reality so in my life, I am manifesting a beautiful future going forward.
