Thank you @rycharde ...I truly appreciate the advice and the recognition. It's very true that in order to feel positive emotion and harness the benefits...one must go through steps and stages to reach the peaks. The accurately named positivity cult will have you believe that you can skip all of the stuff in between and float right up the mountainside through willpower alone. I am super guilty of falling into this habit of thought...and get a slap from reality now and again. The tricky part is knowing how to progress with so much 'false media' and self help scams. I never really know where to look for the proper guidance. I am very interested in checking out the Dr. Tent videos and Mantak Chia books though. As for autoimmune conditions...I apparently have three of them but have always wondered if they actually originate from the same source and are merely different manifestations of the same problem.
