epilepsy healing

Living with Epilepsy is a challenge that non-sufferers are unlikely to be able to relate to.

I remember snorkelling while on a two week boat trip, never knowing if the next time I dove underwater was going to be my last breath.

The advantage of my apnea training was that I brought my thoughts under conscious control. The brain uses 30% of our oxygen, so the less thinking I did, the longer I could stay underwater.

After this boat trip, my Mind continued to seek more natural environments. Sleeping in the rainforest for 10 nights while looking for orang utans and tigers, training my body to eat only food that I could readily find in nature. Learning to meditate with the enlightened monks in Myanmar. Getting to bed before 10pm and falling asleep before midnight. 

These were the changes I made in my life to release my brain from the electrical prison of Epilepsy.

Scientific articles suggest that an overactive sympathetic nervous system can instigate seizure activity. It makes sense from a scientific perspective. More neurotransmitters lead to flooded synaptic connections that induce both nerve stimulation to the pancreas and the adrenal glands, as well as hormone production within the brain itself. 

These explanations do not account for the fact that most seizures, and certainly my first seizure, occur while we finally take time to relax. 

People I have worked with reported experiencing a seizure just as they arrived home from a long day at work. 

When I consulted a neurologist about this I was told that "Neurology is more of an art than a science". 

Taking my own life into my own hands, I have come to understand that the human biosystem requires a delicate balance of stimulation and relaxation in order to maintain sustained life activity. 

A large component of my Masters degree in Brain and Mind Science was investigating the benefits of marijuana on subduing the effects of Epilepsy, but my own experience took me to integrate the vibrational frequencies of Nature. 

Human bodies can be slow to release old vibrational patterns, and certainly put up resistance. The results can be similar to an addict withdrawing from their substance. 

Human interaction can help. 

A person who has walked this path can meet you vibrationally where you currently are, and can show you the steps you need to take to free yourself.

Having learned to calm my brain by thinking less explosive thoughts, I can honestly say that the world is a nicer place now. The pain I experienced along the way was beyond anything I could dare to imagine, but I know that I am happier now than I was before the seizures begun, and that makes me thankful for my experience.
