Something that I heard Deepak say during my recent dark days of anxiety and bed rest resonated with me very strongly… and was a beacon of hope in the midst of extreme worry and sadness. He said “You can believe the diagnosis, but don’t believe the prognosis.” That one short sentence had a profound effect on me and soon after hearing it I became determined to turn my thinking and my health around. I looked into Transcendental Meditation, but attending classes when you’re on strict bed rest is clearly out of the question. And the cost involved in the learning process was too great a burden with me being on sick leave and expecting another baby. So I searched for free visualisations online and came across the Fragrant Heart site, which features short, succinct and specific guided meditations for a variety of purposes, including healing. I truly believed they helped my healing process… if only in the sense of calming me down and making me feel like I was doing something pro-active with my time to help my condition.

Fast forward a couple of months, and I am now signed up for and participating in the Chopra Center 21-Day Meditation Challenge™, Creating Abundance. Each day I log into my account to be presented with a “centering thought” for the day and an easy 15 minute meditation program that supports that thought. After completing the meditation, participants are encouraged to answer some questions based on personal experiences and write a simple reflection in an online journal. I must admit that I am not satisfied with the results I am having so far (as is evident in my journal), despite knowing that this program is extremely beneficial. I am having what you might call an “off” week, emotionally speaking. Pregnancy hormones/symptoms combined with unaddressed concerns/anxieties rising to the surface, have meant very late nights, feelings of frustration, more “mind chatter” than normal and the feeling of being on the verge of tears multiple times over the past few days. I will persevere with this, however, as I do believe that if I can just let go, I will “get” whatever I am meant to from this experience. For the record, my husband and a couple of girlfriends are undertaking the challenge too. I believe the girls are feeling energised by the experience and I know that my husband says he feels fantastic after doing the exercises… so obviously my current frustration is truly my own.

… That’s it so far! I’ll add more as the days go by. And hopefully have more favourable things to report 😉
