Its almost like the raw food makes my colon more spastic > than it already is. I am in such a mess. suggestion: let's start with some more " affirmative " language - e.g., I easily release all that which no longer serves me. I am in perfect harmony with my universe. Suggest: that we don't even want to put any negative energy out there...what we think, we become, etc..etc... " I AM HEALTHY, WHOLE AND COMPLETE " <== keep repeating that to yourself more on the suggestion: from a class I took, I've now got a stack of 70 index cards in front of me. (they happen to be a variety of colors, and that's not critical..) Here's how you make them: go buy 100 note cards. Every day for a week, 7 days, fill out 10 cards listing things that you would like " more " of in your life, BUT listing them as if they already exist. For example, the card that I drew for yesterday says: " I am my ideal weight. " no quotes, and in big letters on the card...I've actually on this card got one word per line, double spaced. Today's is much longer: " I am at peace with my own feelings. I am safe where I am. I create my own security. I love and approve of myself. " If you're a book type of person, I recommend " You can heal your Life " , by Louise L. Hay...it's full of the theory, and lots of good affirmations. It sounds a little like the description of " colitis " - if that's anywhere near, here's what Louise Hay has to suggest about that: (from the referenced book, and this section she took from another of her books, called " Heal Your Body " ) From the book, Chapter 15, p. 149: [As you look through the following list taken from my book HEAL YOUR BODY, see if you can find the correlation between diseases you may have had or are having now and the probable causes I have listed. A good way to use this list when you have a physical problem: 1. Look up the mental cause. See if this could be true for you. If not, sit quitely and ask yourself, " What could be the thoughts in me that created this? " 2. Repeat to yourself, " I am willing to release the pattern in my consciousness that has created this situation. " 3. Repeat the new thought pattern to yourself several times. 4. Assume that you are already in the process of healing. Whenever you think of the condition, repeat the steps.] She's got a 3 table column that follows that goes on for 30 some pages.. the column headings are: Problem, Probably cause, New thought pattern.. not knowing " exactly " what's going on for you, but taking what you said about the colon, etc,...I looked up colon, and found Bowels and found the following: 1. Bowels 2. represent the release of waste 3. New thought pattern (i.e., the affirmation to be repeated): Letting go is easy 1. Bowels 2. Fear of letting go of the old and no longer needed. 3. New thought pattern: I freely and easily release the old and joyously welcome the new. I have personally found that affirmations have made a HUGE difference for me in my life. I strongly encourage their daily use. Libraries will have her stuff. > On advice I have put off fasting for a while; But thinking, maybe > this time a good long rest will heal the problem..? See Elchana's recent post re: monodiet - his suggestion of just watermelon for a few days, is *almost* guaranteed to work! lol! reallyl..such a low digestive load on the body, and it's like " ..sh** through a goose... " -- don't know if that's a saying in the UK... > > In fact I have completely sabotaged every thing I had put in motion > recently. Today is a NEW day, make NEW choices!

We cannot be what " should " be: wasted energy. see above for positive affirmations, and choose to make positive, life-enhancing choices! > > I currently feel that I do not deserve to be well.

But in fact I feel like I CAN'T go on.. this sounds serious, and well beyond this board's group support; I encourage you to seek out some competent, knowledgeable assistance. > >--snip----! > And now I have sabotaged my diet horrendously - So what can I expect > but more of the same?... You can make NEW choices, every day...every hour, every minute... > > I am sorry to blurt this all out at once; But I have been deperately > trying all week to put on a positive act hoping it would become me. > see above, Kay: get yourself some assistance quickly. > Please God - Just do anything neccessary to help me HELP and COMFORT > myself. xx > Love Always - Kay see above, Kay - please get yourself some assistance. good luck, and all the best, Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
