Shona Curley’s Lyme Journey:

Shona is one of the seemingly lucky ones: She found the tick and pulled it out. But, even that didn’t stop chronic lyme disease symptoms from appearing, and, surprisingly, it also didn’t streamline her diagnosis. There’s no doubt that, in Northern California where Lyme disease is prevalent, Shona should have been quickly diagnosed based on her symptoms and the tick, but doctors denied the possibility of a Lyme infection for over two years.  A barrage of symptoms—constant colds, severe GI issues, insomnia, crushing anxiety, noise and light sensitivity, cognitive impairment—left Shona and her family terrified and desperate for answers. It was a by-chance meeting with a random doctor who listened that left her with a Lyme diagnosis less than one year ago.

Since then, Shona has found great healing from chronic Lyme disease in Buhner herbs, antibiotics, a medical intuitive, amalgam removal, and her own meditations tailored specifically for Lyme disease sufferers. You can find her meditations at redkitemeditations.com. You might find the one for your lymph system a fitting purchase for this week’s challenge.

Weekly Challenge

Shona challenges us to do use visualization meditation to enhance our system’s lymphatic drainage…specifically in the brain. You guys, the lymphatic system is of top importance when healing from (anything) Lyme disease—we need it to be properly moving along in order to rid our body of toxins. The lymphatic system does not have a pump, we are responsible for its flow through our own movement and detox efforts. So many people struggle with getting well simply because of a clogged up lymph. Shona says that by practicing a visualization of spring rain flowing down into your brain and picking up the debris on its way (to gather in your lymph and then be excreted) can have a huge impact on the actual movement.  I’m 100% down because WHY NOT!? I will be posting other lymph draining practices this week on my IG, @sheajackie.
