“Practicing remaining calm and alert through the whole range of body and mind states that present themselves- all the while not doing anything to change experience but rather discovering that experience is BEARABLE.”

The above piece of Buddhist wisdom from Sylvia Boorstein is applicable to me whenever I itch due to new food in my diet. It helps me not to scratch to prevent scars on my skin. I have stopped buying expensive ointments that don’t work anyway. What have helped are vitamins A and C.

For me HEALTH is an inside job: what I take in orally and what I take n through my mind. My thoughts play a large role in maintaining the chemical balance in my body. “Emotional Agility” and posts by Dr Lipton have been helpful.
