Healing through love

Healing through love

At first I thought that it was an insignificant boil, rising from the centre of my right hand’s middle finger. Soon both my hands were covered by hundreds of itchy, sticky, red boils. The doctors diagnosed it as eczema.

I carried this disease like a curse for 10 long years. Finally at the age of 23, I cried my heart out to God and begged him to remove my suffering. Interestingly, the problem waned. But again the fourth year, it reappeared. I followed the doctor’s prescription to a T. It subsided, but reappeared at intervals of two years. It became a pattern in my life. Fortunately after marriage, my husband introduced me to the benefits of drinking cow’s urine. This healed my eczema from the core. Soon after that, I joined Life Positive magazine. The concepts of oneness, the healing power of love, acceptance, and loving yourself unconditionally came flooding into my life. One year into the publication, I again saw redness, and itchy boils on my right hand. I was afraid. But the concepts of Life Positive came to my rescue. LP actively believes in oneness and that the universe is a friend. According to this theory, my eczema was not there to give me pain or trouble but to teach me the valuable lessons of acceptance, joy, love and gratitude, instead of fear, worry, frustration and anger. My heart surged with love and gratitude for my disease. I began to give loving affirmations to the inflamed area. I thanked it ardently for caring for me and showing me that I needed to correct something within myself. Within two minutes of addressing my problem like this, the itching stopped. I kept giving loving gratitude to the eruptions all the way back to my home. In an hour’s time the inflammation waned. I repeated this procedure every time the itching resurfaced and each time it died down. Gradually in a week’s time, the disease left me on its own. If love could heal a disease, it can heal the world too.
