BeiYin: I agree with you. What do you mean by 'proper education'? Where should this education come from? In the first place from yourself. Right? How do you think you will find out which are the habits you need to change? ALL habits for sure you need not to change, there are habits which are useful and make daily life easier. Habits help not to forget what is good to do regularly. So what is necessary is to change habits which are harmful to one's system or the surrounding. Now, how can one find out which habit is damaging and which is useful? We are even not conscious about many habits that they are habits, so we can't even think about them if they might cause disease. Without doubt one's habits take part of the cause of disease, but believing that changing all one's habits then one will be cured seems to be too simple. In deed it is much more complex. > Penny: I think there is a connection between stress and pain and I have > been under a high degree of stress all my life, both external and > internal.

BeiYin: Yes, stress is another cause for disease and in the case of FM pain is one of the results. Now, why there is stress? This has not so much to do with one's habits but with one's attitudes. Has your attitude towards life has changed during your life? So there has been always stress and this stress has accumulated up to the point when the system couldn't cope with it any longer and so it opened a valve on another level, trying to balance the system: Disease appeared. It is not the question of 'improving one's physical health'. The question is to start a healing process which includes the entire being. To which belongs the physical, the emotional, the mental and the spiritual. Are you emotional in balance? Are you mentally in balance? What do you have realized spiritually as an integrated part in your daily life? Probably the spiritual part is lacking. I see 'disease' and especially Fibromyalgia as a challenge and call to integrate real spirituality. What this means we probably have to talk quite a lot about... > Penny: I need to change the way I eat, my reaction to stress, my > sensitivites,... BeiYin: There are enough information about alimentation available and also at my Web site. There is a lot information about it in all aspects. It might not be easy for every body to follow a healthy way of eating, but this is the easiest part of the work which has to be done. When you write you need to change your reaction to stress, what does this mean to you? You mean you want to deal better with stress? Does this mean that you want to manipulate yourself in a way that you can deal better with it? Are you trying to do the same as with every thing which is disturbing you? Isn't 'stress' a reaction by itself? So then wouldn't it be more direct to avoid stress or if this is not possible because it is an unconscious reaction, so it is necessary in the first place to find out what is causing this reaction. This might have many different reasons. Probably your habits are a cause. Also your attitudes, your goals, your expectations, etc. If you REALLY want to change something and not only going into a game with yourself (sorry for being so direct), then you will need to work quite a lot and for sure this will not be comfortable... > Penny: [i need to change]... some of the people around me (not my husband or > daughter). BeiYin: Does this mean you want to change the people around you? Isn't this what every body is trying? Instead of changing oneself. I guess you don't mean this because by now you will know that this is not possible although it is common. Probably you mean that you want to avoid some people around you because they are causing reactions within you with which you don't want to deal. Well, there is quite a lot to say about this. So why you are reacting in a negative way on some people around you? What is causing these reactions? You are giving the fault for your reactions to those people? And by avoiding them you think you free yourself? Then you are wasting a great opportunity. Because the fact that you are reacting can tell you a lot about yourself - if you are willing and ready for it. Your reaction is telling all about yourself. About your program, your background structure. If you are able to allow and accept your reactions, - not fighting or avoiding them - then you can do a step towards more awareness and self knowledge. You may see it all in a positive way and so avoid stress. Be thankful that you have the opportunity to react and so to clear up. People give you this opportunity and you can trust that you are surrounded just by the right people. (I know this is not easy to take). And then when you are clear about your reaction and where it comes from, then you don't need some of the people anymore and they probably will disappear by themselves or they will not be disturbing you anymore because you don't need to react on them. Why do you think people are separating from one partner and then they marry the next which is a duplicate of the one they had before? >Penny: I am fortunate to have the resources that I can do this. BeiYin: Yes, your resources give you power and makes it possible that you more likely able to manipulate things, but do you believe this makes it easier that you change yourself? For sure not. In no way the material aspect or position makes any difference in your attitude toward life, people around you or to yourself. If the material aspect has such an importance, then this might be a key to find out about your disease... > Penny: I believe this is an excellent forum for change. God Bless, BeiYin: We will see... It totally depends on the readiness of the participants, what means the evolutionary development of their personalities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
