Why is it that when we try so hard to solve a major problem in our lives, whether healing our body or something that bothers us, it seems to get worse?
Just worse...
Let's say it's a skin illness. Something that bothers you so much. You do everything. You want to heal. You go on that Google rabbit hole. You read every bit of information until you are exhausted.
Give me every detail, google! What to eat, what to avoid, what to use. Tell me everything. Do not leave anything behind and the more you research, the more problems you start noticing. The funny thing is you weren't even aware of them.
You now have brand new allergies and a giant list of things to avoid. And you start overanalysing till, hopefully, you are exhausted.
One of the greatest minds in human history, Einstein, said, "You cannot solve a problem with the same mind that created it. You have got to come to a greater level of mind."
I learned it the hard way when I was in Google's rabbit hole trying to find a cure for MS in 2017. Until one day, I was so exhausted that I had an epiphany:
"It's my mind. I have this illness because of my mind. The way I think. Over analytical, over critical. Fearful."
That overactive mind not only chemically changed my biology in the worst way possible but also made me act a certain way in life. I chose to eat the wrong food. I didn't move my body. I didn't sleep enough. I was working long hours. I stopped enjoying life.
And here I was, piling more information into the same exhausted mind that created the problem. I was calling nothing but even more stress and burden.
Now, some of the information I read at that time was really good. Yes, I should eat that. But was my mind able to process all this information?
It wasn't.
So, I gave up reading.
And I started practising "peace" by choosing the simple and the happy.
Simple healthy food.
Simple body movement.
Meditation.
My hobbies.
And here we are, MS-free body, because I am not the same person, the same mind who created the illness.
Last week, I shared a lot of information about Rosacea, and I felt guilty afterwards. One of you emailed me asking about another skin illness and how to study herbs to solve it.
Oh, Ezgi, Is this what they need? I said to myself. I couldn't even reply to her. I am sorry. I didn't know what to say.
Do you have a skin illness?
Step 1: Give up. I am serious. Give up trying to solve the problem.
Step 2: Avoid discussing the problem with friends and family offering you advice.
Step 3: Now, I can't ask you to stop using your medication. But I can say choosing truly natural skincare empowers the skin. No side effects, no unnecessary burden to the body. Simple. Just simple nature. Anything from our range, the flow set, will be more than helpful to you.
Step 4: Start practising peace, joy, and happiness to the point you take your attention off the problem to the point you forget that you have a skin issue.
I promise you that the new person you are becoming, the new mind, will make the right choices without you overanalysing. You won't even realise. And one more thing, you will become a peaceful human being.
I still want to write about skin issues, but to the minds who can process them without overanalysing.
I am meeting up with a composer this evening who has been helping me create a meditation for all of us. A meditation to activate the heart, "the centre of healing," and to calm the overactive mind.
I could create it on my own. But meditation saved my life. I know how life-changing it is when done right. So, I am testing my meditation with an HRV machine to make sure that I am raising your heart's HRV. Only then does the miraculous healing start.
Until then, how can you turn your daily skincare routine into a meditation? A candle, peaceful music, eyes closed, smelling every bit of the plants, thanking them out loud, moving your hands in such symphony, sensing every bit of you and inviting healing.
Take your time.
There is no rush.
Nowhere to go.
Every peaceful act you do for yourself is worth a thousand times more than anything you learn or read to solve the problem.
That mind needs a long break.
Give your mind a break, and healing will arrive...
I promise you it will...
with all my love,
Ezgi
