Hope

One can not get healed if they do not have hope and believe that they can be cured. When I was diagnosed with Lupus I remember thinking about what I was going to do. I knew I did not want to take the medication for it because I hated the side effects, and I also knew that taking the medication was not the solution to my problem. I felt like I had to find another way. Everyday when I wake up, I say to myself "I will cure myself of Lupus. I have control of my life, this disease does not have control of me!" I have hope and know that I will not live my life with Lupus. It took me several years to come to this conclusion. I tried doing a lot of research first to have a better understanding. I tried so many different types of natural supplements and healing approaches, but what made things start to turn around were my thoughts about myself.


I was going through Half Price book store when I came across a DVD called "You can heal your life" by Louise Hay. I DO NOT believe that this was a coincidence. It was only $3.00 so I bought it. That $3.00 was worth a million dollars on how it changed my perception of myself. I guess I always knew that your thoughts have an impact in your life but I had never put it into action. I always hated myself for my past actions, looked at myself as unworthy, and never felt comfortable within myself. After watching this video, my spirit was lifted. I felt that she was speaking to me. I started to change my perceptions and views. It was difficult to do but I knew I had to do it if I wanted to make the first steps in healing myself.


Before we can find a cure or a solution for this type of disease,  there are issues that we must first resolve within ourselves. We have to believe that there is a higher power within us that will help us and will always love us. We have to believe that we are important, we are incredible beings and we are all here for a purpose. My first step in healing myself was to first let God dwell within me, then it was to believe in myself and to love myself because I am worthy of that love. I needed to bring peace, and harmony in my body. I had let go of many resentments, anger and frustrations. In the book "You can Heal your Life" by Louise Hays, she states that there are negative and positive affirmations for almost any disease out there. When I read the affirmation affiliated with Lupus I was able to connect to how I was feeling.  What I learned from this book was to think and to say everyday that "Life loves me, Life loves me".


So what I want to share is that instead of waiting for your disease to control your life, please take control. Your mind is the subject of your body and loving yourself and believing in yourself is the first step to becoming healed. I am still learning everyday to love myself and to find a harmonized spiritual connection to my healing.
Since having Lupus I learned that my thoughts are the most powerful force I own, and that is why I have Hope that I can heal myself.
