The Moment Everything Changed: My Self-Healing Journey

How I Found My Path to Healing

I can’t begin the story of my healing without first sharing what led me here. I call it my self-healing journey because I’m working from the inside out—using meditation and mindfulness as my primary tools. However, I didn’t reach this point on my own. Countless coincidences, synchronicities, and serendipitous events have guided me, leading me toward my ultimate goal: full health.

Looking back, I believe the universe had been trying to show me the right path for a long time, but I wasn’t ready to listen or make the necessary changes. Before embracing this approach, I tried everything—strict diets, supplements, exercise, yoga, physical therapy, acupuncture, cupping, and traditional Western medicine. Most recently, I had even been in contact with the Cleveland Clinic about stem cell trials.

I want to be clear: this is my experience, not medical advice. I am not a doctor—nor do I play one on TV.

A Life-Changing Call

Back in March, my husband, Jeremy, received a call from a peripheral friend—someone we weren’t in regular contact with. Out of the blue, he told Jeremy he had been thinking about us and felt compelled to buy us a nine-week online course that he believed could help.

At that point, I was completely lost. My MS had become an unbearable, frustrating, hateful houseguest that refused to leave. Jeremy was essentially assisting me with every aspect of daily life—like a boss! (I truly can’t say enough about him and all he does.)

Needless to say, we were deeply touched by this friend’s kindness and ready to accept any help we could get. Along with the course (which I’ll discuss in more detail later), he also recommended we watch two Netflix documentaries: The Secret and Heal.

The Turning Point

The first movie we watched was Heal—a fascinating look at how thoughts and emotions can impact our health. It featured powerful testimonials from people who had healed themselves, including Dr. Joe Dispenza (who would later become a pivotal figure in my own healing). While the film was insightful, it didn’t strike a deep chord within me just yet.

A few nights later, we watched The Secret. This documentary explores the Law of Attraction—the idea that you can manifest anything in your life by putting your desires into the universe and believing in them with a pure heart. Once again, the theme was clear: our thoughts and emotions shape our reality.

Now, here’s the thing—I had seen this movie before. A friend lent us the DVD years ago, and at the time, I remember thinking it seemed pretty hokey. But this night—April 23rd, to be exact—something changed. As I watched, it hit me like a freight train.

The Three Rules That Changed Everything

The Secret teaches three core principles:

1. Ask – Clearly state your desires to the universe.
2. Believe – Have unwavering faith that what you want is already on its way.
3. Receive – Accept it with gratitude.

That night, I had a realization: the believe part was where I had been struggling. And in that moment, everything clicked. I finally understood that blind faith is essential for true transformation.

Excited beyond words, I picked up the phone to call my friend who had lent me the DVD all those years ago…

What’s Next?

This was only the beginning of my self-healing journey. In the coming posts, I’ll dive deeper into the practices, lessons, and experiences that have helped me transform my life. If you’ve ever felt lost in your own healing process, know that there is a way forward—and sometimes, it starts with simply believing.
