Deep breathing exercise for healing.
***********************************
In 1976, I was having bladder infection and blood in my urine. I was having very high fever every now and then. This high fever usually came with shivering with cold. Each visit to the doctor showed that I had blood in the urine. I went to one hospital for tests. I was then diagnosed to be having stone in my kidney and was told that I needed an immediate operation, but on seeking a second opinion from a renal specialist in another hospital I was told that I had a cavity in my kidney. He then told me that he would put me unders observation for sometime and should I have another bout of high fever with rigor, I would have to get myself admitted immediately for a kidney operation. With that rigor, even 10 blankets could not keep me from shivering with cold.
He put me under observation with a monthly check-up.
3 months later, I suddenly developed a very high fever with rigor. I was all alone at home and could not keep warm and there was no one to help. I feared the operation.
Then somehow I seemed to know that I should do some deep breathing exercise.
I decided to do just that. After one hour of deep breathing exercise, the shivering stopped and my temperature was back to normal again. I did not have to go through the operation after all and till today, 32 years later, I still have my two kidneys.
I thank God for giving me the wisdom to know what to do to heal myself. I believe that everyone of us is born with this ability if we just sit quietly and turn inwards.
Take for example, when we have a tooth-ache or a pain in the jaw or even a stomache, we automatically put our hand to the painful part.
Actually that is our natural reaction to relieve ourselves of the pain. When we get hit, again we instinctively put our hand over that painful part, actually unknown to us, we are trying to relieve the pain and heal it with the hand.
Jesus Christ healed by laying his hands on the sick. He was showing us that God gave us that ability to heal ourselves as well as others.
MY REFLECTIONS
Self Healing
************
I have come to realize that we are all born with the natural ability to heal ourselves. I wonder how many people are aware of that.
I remember once when I was about 6 years old I had very high fever. I felt very uncomfortable. As I came from a very traditional family where visits to the doctor were unheard of, my mother did not take me to the doctor. I grew up all my life on herbs, even till I started work. In fact, till today, I still depend very much on herbs and traditional medicine. The only western medication that my mother knew and I learnt from her was ‘Aspro’ which was a painkiller, now long withdrawn from production. It was also taken to bring down a temperature.
However, at that time, I was so ill that the Aspro could not bring my temperature down. I was having a very bad bout of flu I guess, with a continuous throw up.
As I said, I was having very high fever and somehow I wanted a pair of scissors. I wanted the coldness from the scissors and I automatically put it on my chest. I felt relieved then. I guess it might have helped to bring my fever down a little. As I grew older, I realised that I was actually trying to bring down my temperature with the cold from the scissors. I realized this when I learnt from doctors the way to bring a high fever down is with sponging.
