    • About Me

      I am a spiritual healer and mentor, minister and massage therapist. In 2001, I went through a severe depression because of a break-up and miscarriage, then I went to a spiritual retreat with Neale Donald Walsch and came back in a state of absolute bliss, having cleared and forgiven my entire life and found oneness with God. My family didn't understand, like most people, how someone could be in joy for no reason, thought I was manic and put me in a mental hospital. I went along happily, understanding that I was there to serve God, and I did. I stayed for 9 days, my first hospitalization, and was put on meds. I weaned myself off of them over the course of a year, with doctor's supervision, and I was told that if I had another "episode" I would have to stay on meds for the rest of my life. I was studying "A Course in Miracles" at the time and trying to attain that joy, however. So I did. My family hospitalized me again, for 14 days this time and back on meds I went, this time supposedly forever. But I have never accepted this label, bipolar. I have come off of meds again with doctor's supervision, staying at a "placebo" level for a year before coming off completely last summer. If I were going to have another "episode" it would have happened long ago -- I now choose the moments when I experience bliss -- when I do healing work, when I enjoy spiritual music, when I speak Truth. Recently my latest doctor agreed that there was never anything wrong with me, that I had had a spiritual awakening, and closed my case. I am here to see if there are others who are now being mistreated as I was, who need my help. I suspect that the label bipolar is simply the secular, medical term for a natural spiritual progression, however, I do not advocate going off of meds without supervision and spiritual support at any time, and I realize my experience may be entirely different. My spiritual transformation left me with the ability to channel healing energy from Christ. I have had many clients who have had instantaneous healing since then. Please don't scoff without giving me a chance; you don't have to take my word for it, I have testimonials on my website. Take the time to just ask, and you shall receive. The Truth will set you free..

      From artimise2 October 23

      Hey..Hi there...I haven't been on in a few months and decided to look you up...I was very glad that you were still on ds. I read your last journal and I hope you are feeling better now. My husband and I have spilt up. I am now living in a new town but it's ok...in fact it's great sometimes. My faith is growing at the moment by leaps and bounds...I am truly blessed. I just thought I would say that to you because when I first met you I was searching. I wish you peace and understanding on your spiritual journey. Much love to you.

      A friend will be there for you when things are good...but a TRUE friend will be there for you when things are good and also when things are very bad...and just when it feels like you will never smile again...they can put a smile on your face with just a hug! Teresa

      Keep right on processing. I'm sure you will clear the stuff soon.

      I don't want to talk about the meds. I want off them. However I'm taking them. I missed them for 2 days over the weekend when we went to Mystic Seaport and I was fine without them. That gives me hope that I no longer need them. But as I said, I'm taking them again.

    • Close Video Game Addiction

      My husband's computer game addiction was a major reason for our divorce, but I am vulnerable to it also. I want to help and have been going on WoW to help people there, but it's a slippery slope.

      Treatments

      Music Working / Worked
      Not really my problem, although I was affected by my ex-husband's addiction to games. I just want to recommend music for others. The right music works for everything! The right music for me are the "spiritual not religious" songs coming out of Christian rock.
    • Close Bipolar Disorder

      I was diagnosed bipolar with psychosis back in 2001, then schizoaffective disorder. Now I am off all meds and the doctor agrees with me that there was nothing wrong with me - I had a genuine spiritual transformation. I suspect that bipolar may be the label that the medical society puts on a natural spiritual progression which only becomes a crisis if mishandled. I DO NOT advocate going off of meds once a person has been put on them without careful supervision and a lot of spiritual support.

      Treatments

      Geodon Working / Worked
      Good as a temporary crutch, best when viewed as a physical representation of God's peace and taken with reverence and prayer.
      Holistic Health Working / Worked
      Prayer, meditation, spiritual denial (not the same as unhealthy denial) and affirmations are what I credit with my true healing. Medications were also necessary, but I only used them as a temporary crutch. I did not have the option of choosing homeopathic medicine, although I now have a friend who practices it and claims it is much more effective than allopathic medicine.
      Music Working / Worked
      Works for everything! Makes me shine! When I'm tired it lifts me up again. But I'm talking about spiritual music, Christian rock, not heavy metal or anything that only instills desire for anything outside of one's own Heart, centered in Christ.
      Risperdal Not Working
      They don't even have "did not work" past tense, I guess because they don't expect anyone to ever get off the merry-go-round. This made me feel like no person in the world should ever feel, exhausted and unable to stop moving at the same time. A nightmare. I came here to make meaning of this horrible experience by helping others see that I survived it and so can they. There are success stories, and I am one of them
      Wellbutrin Working / Worked
      See above - same as Geodon. I actually did go back on this by my own choice one winter, and it was beneficial.
      Zyprexa Somewhat Helpful
      I don't think this was as bad as Risperdal, if I remember correctly. They aren't supposed to, but I lost down to 114 on some of these meds. That was a nice side effect, but usually they make people gain, I understand. They aren't sure which, or if it was any of the meds at all. It might have been part of my nervous system shift into higher gear.
    • Open Financial Challenges

      I am transitioning out of massage therapy into pure spiritual healing. I am looking for someone to handle booking and sales -- I can't handle dealing with money, it lowers my energy, but I need to sustain this body, after all... Any applicants?

      Treatments

      Earn Money Working / Worked
      Working together with others -- I help those who help me, and many who don't, of course. That's my treasure in Heaven. I will pay a 20% commission for referrals to start, and am looking for someone trustworthy to work full time on salary.
      Music Working / Worked
      "The Secret" is to keep your energy up and trust in God. Music helps me do that. He is my Infinite Source, all I have to do is be open and receptive... And GIVE!!!!
