She Became a Different Person – and Healed Herself

Summary

Starting in 2002, a highly stressful job triggered stinging needle-like sensations throughout her body that intensified over years, leading to diagnoses of PTSD, fibromyalgia, polymyalgia, syringomyelia, depression, and anxiety. From 2006-2020 (14 years), she remained on various narcotics including opioids, and developed breast cancer requiring two operations with 19 lymph nodes removed, causing lymphedema and life-threatening cellulitis with sepsis requiring hospitalization five times. After a suicide attempt and three weeks in a locked mental facility, she continued on antidepressants, anti-anxiety medications, anti-inflammatories, antipsychotics, permanent antibiotics, and sleep medication causing her to fall repeatedly on tile floors. In 2017, she moved from Bathurst NSW to Maryborough Queensland seeking warmer climate, had gastric sleeve surgery losing 40 kilos total (19 kilos in five weeks), but pain persisted. In early 2020, her daughter Linelle (mental health nurse and naturopath) suggested Dr. Joe's work; she began meditating daily for an hour after lunch, two hours before sleep, and sleeping with Generous Present Moment meditation. After six months with no change, pain subsided at end of 2020, she took her last opioid on November 11, 2020 (Remembrance Day), came off all medications, and all pain left by end of 2020 after four months of meditation. At Tarragona week-long, the first walking meditation brought profound energy through her body, and she now experiences continued transformation.
