How I healed Psoriasis and You can too!

I had read about this condition in journals and was always fascinated by how it would be to heal it. Never did I think I would manifest it in my own body and would be brought to tears with the thought of having to walk also! In 2011 after my delivery I noticed my feet began to become extremely dry. I dint think much about it since I barely had time to breathe. I was taking care of an infant, working in a high stress job, living in a high stress situation 24 x 7. I was just happy to survive! Around the same time my health kept deteriorating. I was diagnosed with migraine and was put on medication, the stress continued and my ineffective coping style did not make matters any easier for me. I kept beating myself up. It came to a point when my feet started to bleed and walking a single step was excruciating pain. I could not understand what was wrong with me.

During a visit to my parents I showed my feet to them and my father who is also a doctor took me to a dermatologist. I was diagnosed with Psoriasis. When I inquired what is the cause of it? Why now? I was told the same thing that my Neurologist had told me – We don’t know, Stress. I felt helpless, angry. I was in pain, and I wanted someone to relieve it, someone to rescue me. I suffered until 2014. Then during another check-up this time in Dubai also with my dad’s colleague something struck me. The Doctor sat me down and said medication cannot cure it. It can only help you to manage it. You are in Alternate Medicine.. Why don’t you use it to heal yourself? I was dumbstruck! Two weeks later I was on the road of recovery. 1.5 months later I am healed.

How? I was waiting for someone to come and rescue me. I realized I am the ONLY one who could rescue myself. As kids we learnt about Super heroes. Super heroes do exist but as the song “Hero” by Mariah Carrey says there’s a Hero in all of us. We have to be our own hero. So I took responsibility of Standing up for myself. Of protecting myself and for Healing myself. Skin is an organ. It represents our individuality. Every time our individuality is threatened our skin comes under attack. The moment I took notice of that I became aware of the situations where I would be feeling threatened. I started protecting myself better, shielding myself from harsh people and energies. I used various techniques including affirmations such as “I love and approve of myself exactly as I am.” And “I am safe.” I did affirmations 300 times a day. I did mirror work* as prescribed by Louise Hay daily and today I walk without pain.

If I can do it, so can you. Healing is with-in reach… Heal with-in..

*Mirror work is a technique where you look at yourself in the mirror and acknowledge genuine love for yourself. So look yourself in the eyes and you say “I love you (your name), I really love you!” if you find it hard to say this you can also say “I am willing to love you” or “I like you.” My 3 year old son does it and it has had miraculous effects. It has helped us deal with bullies who were troubling him by verbally and physically abusing him earlier.
