Guest guest Posted January 1, 2006 Report Share Posted January 1, 2006 Dear Sharon, I have never been one to use visualization a lot, however this email brought to mind the strongest and the most amazing results. This was not planned it just happened one evening. At the time I was in constant pain and getting attacks on a regular basis and my sxs were getting worse with each attack. This sounds scary but I was very calm during and afterwards. I was lying on the livingroom floor on my stomach just relaxing and suddenly there were black birds pecking on my head and back. As I lay there it was like someone said "They are removing some of your MS lesions." My sxs started improving within the week and the pain lessened starting the next day. Yes, I still have attacks and I continue to get worse. But not at the speed nor intensity that I was before. HAPPINESS and BUTTERFLIES LynnSharon Marsden wrote: Hi Margot: How are you doing?

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2006 Report Share Posted January 1, 2006 Dear Lynn: Isn't that amazing?! When did that happen to you? Visualization is something I try to do every since hearing about cancer patients using it. They were directed to imagine sharks swimming through their blood stream eating the cancer cells or silently swimming through their body seeking out tumors. And the results were amazingly positive.

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2006 Report Share Posted January 1, 2006 When my husband was diagnosed with cancer, his physician discussed visualisation and meditation with him. Hans thought about it--but not for long, and actually said, "I have great respect for the traditions of the East and of India, but absolutely NO patience with them! -- he WAS a bit on the hyper-active side! Me, I visualise like a mad fiend; one of my children refers to it as "making movies in my mind!" I am all for it, visualisation, that is and all that goes with it! Love to all of you, n Re: Re: research Dear Sharon, Yes very amazing. I think it was between 3 and 4 years after my Dx in Feb of 93.
