mir·a·cle

[mir-uh-kuhl]
–noun

1.

an effect or extraordinary event in the physical world that surpasses all known human or natural powers and is ascribed to a supernatural cause.
2.

such an effect or event manifesting or considered as a work of God.
3.

a wonder; marvel.
4.

a wonderful or surpassing example of some quality: a miracle of modern acoustics.

If you can detach this idea from organized religion in your mind for a moment, a miracle is actually a shift in forces of energy.

I believe they do not happen overnight, rather it’s something that is built up, constantly worked at.  I am working toward a miracle for my heart.  Working really hard.  Reading, learning, meditating, changing my body through energy work, help from healers.  Eventually I know I will reach total recovery.

I have a renewed faith in my body to take care of my heart, to create a miracle.

The Autoimmune Epidemic: Bodies Gone Haywire in a World out of Balance – and the Cutting Edge Science that Promises Hope by Donna Jackson Nakazawa

I’ve mentioned this book many times before.  It is a well-written, eye-opening look at how our bodies are desperately trying to keep up with our environment and what this has cost us.  It also offers a hopeful message through ways of managing and hopefully ending this epidemic.

We have to be informed.  Information is the best protection from this major health crisis.

If you or anyone you know suffers with autoimmune disease –even if you are a woman in good health,  please consider checking this out.

“It takes the human body thousands of years to adapt to new environmental stresses -yet in a hundred years we’ve dumped so many toxic substances into our environment that our immune system is being asked to differentiate between our own body and unrecognizable invaders nonstop.  Which makes our body much more likely to make a mistake than it was, say, a century ago.  There are just so many more opportunities to make mistakes.”

The Tao of Wu by The Rza

I love stories about people who take themselves from very bad situations and rise like a pheonix. Or stories where you’re born in the projects of Brooklyn, grow up in the projects of Staten Island, and despite many obstacles become a successful business man, rapper, producer, and music composer (just to name a few) like the Rza.  He used every phase of his life as a lesson and acted accordingly. He studied under a Shaolin Monk which brings us to this book where The Rza shares his code in his seven pillars of wisdom.

I am obsessed with this magical quality that humans possess deep inside where some can turn things around for themselves.  It’s something only a certain type of person taps into.  When I read books like this one I wonder, what is the difference between these “certain” types and the ones who cannot go inside to dig deep and find it within themselves to live? Really live?  To find a path to happiness and self love?

I read story after story about men and women who have cured and healed themselves hoping to find the answer to my questions.

I want to live many different chapters of my life while I’m on this planet. I cannot wait for the time when we look back and all of this medical stuff seems so far away that I can’t remember feeling sick or what it’s like to be scared of your body.  I know it will happen, I just get impatient sometimes.
