[mylifeismine] Re: St John's Wort and more

Hey Sue,
 
It's great your doctor was open to the use of St John's Wort. I've been intimidated a great many a time seeing GP's who were not so open to natural medicine. ( I usually see GP/naturopath whenever possible should I require).
 
Just did an internet search on St John's Wort and it seems in some cases it can increase sensitivity to the sun after a period of time. I'm guessing like with most things this would vary from person to person and perhaps not affect some this way at all?
 
Pretty sure there's a natural supply of something else for depression should this be an issue for anybody (we are well equipped naturally I think), either ingestinal or sensational, as has been mentioned in the last few entries. Meditation and prayer being others as well. ( And if that's not strong enough - energetic support in the form of light healing and or reiki for a time perhaps?).
 
Just had a memory of a kinesthetic exercise which helps to get into body/senses-
-closing eyes or blind fold for a while and feel/sense your way. (helps with connecting to intuition and letting go of control as well - getting into the juiciness of sensation).
Is unfortunate perhaps that drugs are heavy in our systems and overlooked by many "health professionals." My understanding is that in general natural medicine as it would suggest works/enhances the natural process of our bodies (supports immunity) and most drugs work against it to suppress symptoms rather than support our system back to health.
 
Oh you've got me going on this ! I could go on !
Each to their own of course. Is just my conclusion/opinion.
 
I like the Donkey Tale very much. Something of the sort occurred today. Where I realised -I'm in a real energetic pickle and then I thought - step up.
 
Good one.
Hey you've got me after a chocolate binge (which is a real no, no for me). I'm high but underneath this I'm a bit whiney. I feel undersocialised at present. I had a friend which I left because of the differences between us. I like him very much but his thought processes and attitude affect me greatly in terms of being positive and feeling supported in my life path. I find it difficult to associate with him at all now. Kept hanging on for a long, I thought he might decide to "step up"and/or sought out some positive energizing practise/assistance at some point but it seems to me his ideology centres around saboting this in all respects. It's like he's not moving and I'm not happy staying in that space.
 
mmmmmmmmmmm............. :-(.
 
Nothing has to be I guess, just miss him to a degree and not so easy being alone all the time at present.-New things in my life due to having left this person and going my own way though I am alone and it's challenging. - Along the lines of a couple of more recent entries I believe. - (Bed soon).
 
 
Thanks for reading,
All the best,
Rose
