For years I have been a proponent of positive visualization and overcoming situations, including those situations which may seemingly seem “incurable”.

Most of you who are reading this know that in 2002 I had a near-death experience after being mis-diagnosed and then overdosed by a medical doctor. Upon emerging out of the coma, I could not walk, talk, read, write, or do much of the activities “normal people” could do. It was akin to having suffered a stroke. My diagnosis at that time was “residual brain damage with no hope of cure”.

And as most of you reading this know, I fought back. It took me 45-days of positive visualization, positive actions to see the results; but after 45-days, I was at 90-95% functioning. I went on to meet and marry the man of my dreams, move to Arizona, and become a successful Empowerment and Inspiration Coach.

This article was in SCMP.com and I am re-posting it here in its entirety so that you can see how suggestions can lead to detriment, but by the same token, whatever “label” is placed on you, YOU have the power to create positive change. It does not matter WHAT that label is… even a medical diagnosis that can sound like a death sentence. The power of your mind is intense and it is vast. We each contain exactly what we need to cure ourselves;  by the same token, we each contain exactly what we need to cause us further detriment… even death.

Read the article and decide for yourself….
