Moving out of Leigh on Sea and buying a piece of land caused a fair bit of stress. Three years on I realised something was wrong with me. Seriously wrong. Going backwards and forwards to the Drs didn’t help as all my blood tests came back ok. I was fighting fit! Or so they told me, how come I didn’t feel like it though? My symptoms include, poor memory, brain fog, restless leg, weight gain & pain …everywhere.
Feeling a bit of a fraud… I help others to look after themselves. Life got in the way, building a house, working, looking after Mum, my wonderful grandkids and not forgetting dear ol’ Paul. I stopped looking after myself. I simply forgot. As a Reiki Master and teacher, I’m lucky enough to revisit my level one (Shoden) Reiki manual on a regular basis. Once I realised that I was stressed I reviewed my life and I went back to the basics of my Reiki training, which was really beneficial. I was treating myself better. Although I meditate and give myself Reiki I didn't remember to use some of the other brilliant techniques, however recently I’ve gone back to practising what I teach and have stopped forgetting me.
So now I’m,
1. Keeping a journal
2. Using Reiki
3. Reciting the precepts and meditating.
4. Repeating affirmations – I create the thought I want to achieve, using I am or I will as this detracts from the negative to bring in a positive light and attitude.
My last visit to see the practice nurse gave a glimmer of hope. She thought, after reading through my notes, that I may have Fibromyalgia. She advised me to go back and see my GP.
In my next post I’ll talk about what happened when I saw the Doctor.
Love and light
