THE GIFT WITHIN
With FAITH
I can rely on myself
To stand up, and
Face the day
Without knowing
A Miracle is
Camouflaged by
Adversity.
All along
An Angel has
Placed a meaningful
Feather
In my path.
The clouds moved gently away
The stars shone,
Excited and Illuminating
To reveal to me,
The Gift Within.
NO MORE TEARS
In Silence
Being quiet and still
NO MORE TEARS
Let the wheels turn
On their own
Hear no sound
Relax your mind
Complete Surrender
Set the plans aside
Reflect Peace
Reflect Nothingness
Reflect Your Spirit
Acknowledge it IS YOU
All is in order
No tasks to do
The mere being with no limit
Accomplishes greatness
When we are
IN SPIRIT
TO BE
I am not the master of this
Ever changing material world
I own and possess nothing.
To BE ME
Is to live as one
With all matter and energy
To be at rest
I must be free
To stop, reflect
Each passing moment
To be comfortable
I am grateful for
The softness of natures
Velvet grass
The roof above
Sheltering us from the heat and rain.
To be alive
Means we rejoice
TO LIVE.
RE-AWAKEN OUR FIGHTING SPIRIT
We must re-focus on moving on
Living in sadness and helplessness
Is what freezes us like ice
Too scared to move for fear of
Experiencing more pain, the spice
Of life is gone, we ponder,
More than ever, what will be
Of us, if we don’t think to
Re- awaken our FIGHTING SPIRIT
And respect our heartfelt screams of pain
‘Save me please
I want out of this dilemma
And into the light of ease
LET MY THOUGHTS and WORDS HEAL
“Through me, My wisdom is Yours.”
I am but a conduit
From Higher Energy
From my Spiritual Masters
From Pure Light itself
To enlighten me, and enlighten you
It is, The Holiest Cause.
Upon leaving a vacuum
Before my marvellous words are
Heavenly channelled
I meditate, I relax and breathe
The gateway is opened
“ Feel Free, Dear Child
The coming is my gift
For you to partake with the World.”
LIFE WITHOUT DEFEAT
Something has returned to me
Or maybe, I have allowed
The happiness inside, to flow again.
This feels right
Comfortable, easy
To look at life without defeat.
The world is on my side
Has always been
The suffering is only a gateway
I walk through to Enlightenment
And Unconditional Love.
Take heed and move away from
Each obstacle
To find the right way
Be confident and view each woe
From above.
CATCHING A FALLING STAR….THE WAY OUT
A WAY OUT
Of
Disease symptoms?
Like
Catching a falling star.
The imbalance of your body,
You nurture its plea.
And hold it in your hands
To be there
To look after it
Completely.
There is always
A way out
The call of pain is
The first answer
Be in compassion and
Awareness to feel
And Heal.
“May my celestial
Healing energy
Give me a present of
Perfect health
In this precious vessel
I love as
My body
My Perfect self”
DEDICATED TO ALL THE SCLERODERMA PATIENTS
MY WISH FOR YOU
MAGNETIC FORCE OF HEALING
Imagine a point of light deep inside
As you focus on it
It reacts, gets larger and larger
Moving throughout the tiniest of molecules
To heal, miraculously healing.
The mind stops, watches, does not stir.
If we are indeed all energy
Then why can we not use our own
Magnetic Force Of Healing?
The way our bodies were supposed to do
With positive power Within.
I am using this special time and for
All of You
To resonate fully as a Healthy Being
As I write I continue to Heal
As I write, I strengthen my entire feel
BYGONES
I am not only my body
I am not only my mind
Beyond, far beyond
Human imagination
Is an Infinite
Perpetual Creation.
A spark of light
Which emanates the
Whole universe, like
A branch of a tree.
It feeds its extensions
As part of a Unity.
What I do, affects
The world
What I say affects
The many souls
Take care to speak
Of love.
Be meek
Let bygones be
Bygones.
And you shall be
The peace
You seek
TRIUMPH OVER ILLNESS
Overcoming your fear of dis-ease
This is a state of triumph
It then no longer
Controls you
Defines you
Limits you
It is therefore only by chance
A Temporary state of imbalance.
Work through ease
From within
Listen to your body
Acknowledge, accept
Then slowly but consistently
RESTORE HEALING
This is truly imminent.
LOOK WITHIN
The very state I am in
It’s perfect, just perfect
I am learning constantly
The synchronicity of life is unveiled to me
By thoughts, impromptu decisions
And reasons to all my difficulty
I indeed have much to offer
I discover for me,
For you all
And like myself, we are
Searching for the Healing answers
Be still
They are shown
With every step you take
Just Look Within.

About the Book
In 2001, I was confronted with the most frightening challenge of my life, the diagnosis of a disease called scleroderma. I gradually learnt that this was no ordinary condition, as both my immune and vascular systems are compromised. The body is overproducing collagen throughout the body’s cells, tissues, organs, and systems, causing scarring or fibrosis. I felt strongly compelled to stay positive and explored many areas of help by seeking medical, holistic, and spiritual ways of healing.
My book reveals the challenging and yet empowering journey I am living. Through a natural desire to express myself, I began writing my thoughts down daily and led to much insight and inspiration. My journal of poems, affirmations, and dedications brings to light a culmination of years of fear, bravery, pain, faith, desperation, and enlightenment.
I sincerely hope this reaches the many thousands of people who are struggling just like me, dealing with their day-to-day tribulations of managing an autoimmune disease. I endeavour to deliver comfort and recognition by openly sharing my story and I wish with all my heart and soul that it helps people in some reassuring way or hopefully in a most miraculous way. This is my dream.
