oh yes it is! I am still cycling through thoughts that bring me up and those that will bring me down. Mostly I'm seeking that safe, peaceful place in the middle. And often I find it. The more often I find it, the longer I stay there, the easier it is to find it again when I need it.
Yesterday, I did some guided meditation with Andrew Weil... whoa! As I'm breathing, I hear his voice "use this breathing each time something pops up that upsets you..." aaaaahhh what a welcome voice to add to my choir. I can't wait to check out the Deepak Chopra meditations, too :)
I have an appointment today at The Mind Spa on campus (almost wrote Mind Spay, wtf?!). If it goes well, I plan to make a standing appointment, weekly! Me and the Light Box and the Vibrating Chair, the Meditation Corner and the Bio-Feedback - what a team ♥

"Mind Spay": I love it.
A mind spay and neuter clinic could be useful.
Hey Diana, I can empathize somewhat with that icky feeling(anger, severe mood swings, sluggishness,irritability,etc) you are dealing with. I had been feeling really ratty for a couple of years, and then read a book that changed my life. It's called the Ultramind Solution by Mark Hyman-it should be at the library. It talks about healing your body(and therefore, your brain) by getting rid of allergens and taking good vitamins and also making sure you get your Omega 3's. I now take vitamins every a.m. and 1000mg flax pills 3 x's daily. Also evening primrose 1000 mg twice daily. Sometimes even extra B vit. since those help the nervous system and mood. I have also been getting a B12 shot and for a while I took 5-htp (google it), which is an intermedite in the natural conversion of the essential amino acid tyrptophan, to seratonin.Increasing your seratonin may help (it really helped me). Just make sure the htp is from griffonia simplicifolia. The author said that studies have been done treating all kinds of mood disorders with these natural remedies, but of course, we never hear about them since drug companies have all the power and $ to push their nasty drugs. I hope this helps and you feel better soon.
