It's funny how we've learned to separate the two. I have been delving into this with my fibro as well. On the emotional side, I've been doing yoga and seeing a massage therapist who does cranial sacral and reiki. On the physical side I've been using a a href="http://www.chilitechnology.com/">ChiliPad - a mattress pad that lets you cool down (or heat up) your bed, mine lets me set any temperature between 46 and 118 degrees. It helps with pain and I have been getting more sleep because I'm not woken up by pain as easily. Hope this helps!

Sometimes the lines blur and we are in too much pain to differentiate, but if we can help ease those moments with mindfulness, then it is a good lesson to try and remember. My Best! Any time Barbara.

I have heard of the benefits of cranial sacral massage, but have never experienced it. I am sorry it is no longer available to you. I can't imagine where I would be without my blog. When I began it nearly a year ago you were one of the first bloggers I connected with on BlogCatalog. You friended me and gave me suggestions. It touched me then, and I still appreciate it very much. I look forward to the day we meet. Namaste. Thank you for sharing your tools. I have heard of the benefits of cranial sacral massage, but have never experienced it.

I love it. Now if only we could bottle what happens to make a person ready to take action. We would be as famous and rich as Charles Schultz. I know it took me a while to get to this place. Educating ourselves is key, which is why I cannot wait to share your book when it comes out. It will be a catalyst to help others decide they are ready to take action. Pig Pen! I love it.

I have been a yogini for over 25 years and my body has been the host for this unwelcome invader for over 20 years. I am Buddhist and I initially became of aware of the body-mind connection 18 years ago. Not surprisingly, yoga, meditation and chanting have been constants for me. Sadly the most effective treatment I have experienced, cranial sacral massage is no longer available to me. But I wanted to share it with you on your blog, so your readers will be aware of how effective it can be. We share writing as a tool for dealing with emotional pain. I’ve began reading blogs 6 years ago and began a private diary blog which I still keep. There are other important tools in my toolbox aside from the ones we share (writing, yoga, and meditation), and they are personal counseling, group therapy, homeopathy and hydro-therapy. Best wishes to you and your readers. I know we shall meet at a waystation one day. Namaste, TiTi I’m happy that I have found your blog because although I am an INTJ, a loner, I do wish to connect to others who are going through this journey.

If we could see our emotional pain, we'd all walk around looking like Pig Pen with his surrounding cloud of dust. It does not go away unless we take the actions to make that happen. Your article tells people that ACTION is necessary to get results. Thanks for that! Dannette,

I struggle with them. We all do. Fortunately our journeys have led us together to share and encourage each other along the way. Be gentle with yourself. Accept that healing takes time and effort. It does not matter how gracefully we approach the path, it only matters that we continue to move forward. Thanks for the kind words. Have fun in Seattle.
