2 flights of stairs? No worries

**PLEASE FEEL FREE TO SHARE**

I’ve just been on a 2 day Calm Cure course at Regent’s University, London. I learnt many wonderful things and met many wonderful people, but my overriding take home is this.


A few people on here would have known me at Nottingham University, but you probably didn’t realise how hard I found it to climb the two flights of stairs to get to the Food Ethics lectures. I’d feel hideous at the top, and it’d be a constant battle to stay awake. If it was a dark lecture room, then the chances were my head would be on the desk within 10 minutes, my eyes would be shut and I’d be ‘listening’ for about 2 minutes and I’d be asleep or battling to stay awake by 15 minutes in. This happened in almost every lecture. I was exhausted, and had been for years. (Lord only knows how I got a 2:1.)

Fast forward to this weekend. I’ve been up and down these stairs about 10 times almost without thinking (except to realise how different life is now!) Severe pain and fatigue is incomprehensible to me now.

If it hadn’t have been for the courses I did, like the one I did today, none of that would have been possible.

Back when I was at uni I had no idea how conflicted and mentally shattered I was. Now, it’s obvious to me why I had M.E., but back then I knew much less. Lots of people knew much less.

Today the room was full of people that were willing to accept that maybe, just maybe, they don’t know it all yet – that there is more to explore. They also seem to have a much stronger grasp on being beyond the mind than most. It’s refreshing.

Help just one…

I didn’t hugely want to share, I’m a pretty private person, but if it enlightens just one person, particularly anyone with M.E. or knows someone with M.E., then I’ve done my job.

Everyone’s route out is different but for the record mine was:

  • Acupuncture
  • Chiropractic
  • Nutrition
  • Friendships
  • Horses
  • Meditation
  • Reiki
  • Equine Assisted Learning
  • Ascension meditation
  • Mind Detox

The last few except Ascension meditation I trained in so I could share the benefits I’ve had with others.

But perhaps the most important thing of all was a willingness to explore doing life differently, and all the people that made it possible for me to do that.

Thank you to you all. xx
