The Switching Point To Getting Our Health Back

I had another one of those great moments of discovery recently. One that I hope will help me keep control of this freakin disease that changes how it attacks me as much as I change ways to control it. I am starting to become aware of a switch, like a light switch in my mind. This switch is the moment I decide enough is enough and I change my habits back to ones that will bring me health again. All last week I had this down swing in my health where it felt like I lost all my strength that I just worked so hard to build back up. I was starting to feel depression set in and my mind hit the point where I couldn’t sit and meditate for more then five minutes. Right there for whatever reason is the point where I flicked the switch. I got out my massage oil and gave myself an Ayurvedic abyanga massage with lots of oil so my dry skin can soak in the dosha balancing oil. Then I sat myself down for 30 minutes of meditation, the longest 30 minutes of my life. Meditation is much easier today and my health is back under control thanks to me being able to find the switch and flicking it.Last September my mom had heart surgery that had the side effects of taking her to the edge of death. She was dragging on suffering for a couple months when all of a sudden she found her switch. Something inside her become aware that she wasn’t ready to die and in just that flick of a switch, what was impossible the day before became possible. My mom is now stronger then she has been in years with a heck of a lot more energy then me.What is a switch and how do we find a way to change it when needed? It makes sense that the point of turning around is different for everybody. Some people keep so on top of any toxic build up in their mind or body that they may live a lifetime without any major health problems. Then I suppose there are also those who for whatever reason don’t even understand that they have a choice to flick a switch, and those people end up dead before their time. A switch back to wellness will be in a different place for everybody. In fact maybe the switch is nothing more then a point where we become presently aware of the fact that we can start to make new choices in our life. These new choices will be like a switch because our lives will change; there will instantly be new reactions to our new actions.
