Alternative healing therapy blog including Chronic Fatigue Syndrome / ME advice.
Scroll down if you're looking for the latest blog. If this is your first time here, a warm welcome.
This website shares mind body approaches to change your thoughts to support your emotional health, and thereby improve your quality of life with chronic illness. The most important thought to practise is that you are OK just as you are — complete with your thoughts, feelings, and the state of your health.
I was bedbound for 14 years with severe Myalgic Encephalomyelitis / CFS. I still live with the illness and with circumstances that are not helpful for healing. Thankfully, it has been over 15 years since I returned to being able feed myself and stopped relying on carers for everyday life.
I invite you to join me in practising self compassion and applying common sense. Along the way, I share practical information about diagnosis, diets, and research. My hope is that your visit here will support healing within illness — emotional, mental, spiritual — and, for some of you, open the way to health beyond illness.
My love to you, Katherine (Owen)
