![]() More than just visualising it, I imagined it had already happened and I felt real heartfelt gratitude for my results as I held a firm intension that my body was already healed. ![]() I also visualised getting the biopsy results and being told "It was benign". I visualised returning for my biopsy and seeing my skin specialist looking puzzled and saying "Wow, that looks much better". Achieving Coherence During MeditationĮvery day I practiced a specific type of meditation called Heart Coherence meditation for around 10 to 30 minutes, often twice a day. The appearance of the growth coincided exactly with when I started the new medication and so in consultation with my rheumatologist, I decided to stop it and instead throw myself into my meditation and self-care practices to heal my body. ![]() I was aware that this growth had appeared rapidly, over 8 weeks, and this concerned me. I was reassured this time frame would be fine. After 8 weeks, I saw a skin specialist who was concerned, thinking it was a Squamous Cell Carcinoma 4 weeks was the earliest biopsy appointment. This growth bled when touched and would not heal. This seemed to work well, and my inflammation reduced, however, at the time of commencing this new medication, I discovered a rapidly growing growth on my neck which had not previously been there. It was decided that the medication I had been taking was no longer working and I was commenced on another biological drug. Apparently, my body had established its own way of grounding me and making me rest, when rest was required. I could not walk and it felt that inflammation from my feet was creeping up my entire body once again. During this time I recognised that personal stress or negative emotions, mine or those of others surrounding me, had a negative impact on my body and personal coherence.ĭuring my last flare-up, which as one may expect, was at a busy stressful time in my life, when self-care was, on some days, not my top priority, my symptoms worsened. I was again able to walk long distances, and for the most part was feeling pretty good, although I still needed to be mindful to avoid doing things that exacerbated my condition leading to occasional flare-ups. This medication, combined with a daily practice of meditation and Tai Chi, resulted in a reduction of inflammation and I was able to resume normal daily living. ![]() After having trialled many medications to combat these symptoms, I eventually commenced a biological drug. At its worst, inflammation simultaneously affected my feet, knees, back, wrists, certain fingers and even my jaw, whereby I struggled to open my mouth wide enough to bite into food, and chewing was difficult.ĭuring these months, a wheelchair, wheelie walker, crutches and/or walking stick were my constant companions. A wheelie-walker was constantly beside my bed, and often I needed to be wheeled to the bathroom at night because even one step was too painful. To explain the severity of my condition, often during a severe flare-up, I was unable to walk more than a couple of very painful steps. After many years, I eventually received a diagnosis of Psoriatic Arthritis. This type of meditation has helped my body to achieve cross - coherence, which refers to the synchronised activity among my body's different systems, hence preventing homeostatic depletion or an imbalanced internal environment.Ī little history: I had suffered for much of my life with inflammation which indiscriminately affected most joints in my body at different times. Hi, my name is Danielle, and I would like to share with you my personal experience with a specific type of Heart Coherence Meditation, which has helped me heal my body from the impact of chronic inflammation caused by an autoimmune arthritic condition.
