Well folks,
Time to update you. My skin healing journey has brought me to Mexico. The weather along with the humid conditions seem to keep my flares at bay.
Currently volunteering at an Ayurvedic, health and wellness retreat centre in Puerto Morelos, Quintana Roo. Will keep this brief. Ayurveda is an ancient practice that originated in India. It is a system of shared beliefs that include primarily the diet, meditation and your body map. As part of the exchange I receive treatments, food and some of the various workshops. Most of the volunteering work is working inside the kitchen preparing meals and snacks throughout the day.
I'm confident you're aware of Ayurveda, maybe you've heard about it?, or you haven't?. Well, this is where I get lazy, dear reader. As I write up this fresh update, I'm a little fatigued. Truth be told, am pretty new to the subject myself. I'm learning on the job. The retreat is spread over twelve days. Today marks day 5 of the retreat. We have 16 guests plus staff which makes it about 21 people in total who are working along with.
My mentor is pretty confident that I can succeed with my goal of finding skin liberation and, finally healing my body from topical steroid withdrawal. So far the regime has included eating foods that are based on my Ayurvedic constitution. More updates shall follow over the coming weeks and months. Will most definitely fill you in with more information and details with the findings that will bare its fruit over the duration.
Skin has broken out in the familiar eruption zones, inside of elbows, behind the knees and at the back of my neck. This is due to my body cleaning itself out of all the stored trauma and toxins.
However, the group have been non-judgemental. They have been massively understanding and supportive. One of the facilitator's told me today that they had a guest who was suffering from skin issues. When the retreat ended, she was like a new person, in the inside and out. She HEALED her skin folks!.
Planning to contact her and get her to tell me her story. Again folks, will share her journey in a future update. Watch this space.
It's nearly midnight here. So, time to hit the hay. Back to work and most importantly, healing myself continues tomorrow. Please feel free to ask any questions in the comments section below.
Promise to be more proactive with the blog updates this year. Also, if you would care to support me via donation, please view the previous post.
It has the details to forward on donations that you may feel obliged to fulfill. My savings are running on empty nearly. So, if you can find it in your heart to keep the quest and skin healing adventure going, please, please make a donation!.
It will mean I can continuing trying out other healing practices, support my living costs with food, accommodation and purchase some video recording equipment to help document my findings.
Okay, time to really call it a night. Speak to you soon.
Many thanks,
Gary
