One of the things that is great about my job at the library is I have constant access to information. There are so many books available to help when my curiosity is piqued.
I have been working with my therapist on relaxation techniques but I do find it hard to focus on my own. I was panicking the other day because I see more of my scalp and felt deeply saddened by it and I could not relax. With weeks until my next appointment, I picked up a book about self-hypnosis called Miraculous Health and again there is this theme that the body has the power to heal itself. That is so fascinating to me. I know there is truth to that, I just wish that our culture embraced it a little more so we can be reminded of it. I have watched The Secret and I do believe we can use our mind to do remarkable things. Its just that you have to really work at remembering and incorporating those techniques into your life. It's hard! I have been really taking good care of myself lately and luckily I have the time and resources to make my health a priority. But it does take a lot of effort as well.
Hypnosis is really just trying to get in close touch with your body and with concentration, reverse the negative effects. For short periods of time when I have a moment to relax I sit and focus on me in the future, with all my hair. I tell my body to fight for my health and to get my hair back. I am hoping that I can get better at these techniques so my recovery will be speedy. But I am reassured that hypnosis is an important part of healing and healthy living. I feel it!

Hi Foxxy,
My google alert picked up your blog. I wanted to wish you good luck. The self hypnosis is kind of like learning a new language, it takes real persistence but you have it as a resource for the rest of your life. It CAN sometimes reverse alopecia.

Personally, I think you should go for it and shave your head--you have such pretty eyes and i think it would look really striking (I know that's the word everyone always uses, but I mean it--beautiful and arresting) on you. Also, I have the world's largest scarf collection if you ever want to borrow any. Every shape and color!
