Has anyone tried The Chrysalis Effect Programme? Beneath the rather cheesy Internet marketing spin, what they’re offering sounds pretty consistent with adrenal fatigue and the ideas in the Gupta Programme. They seem to get the mind/body connection thing and the importance of emotional support in dealing with this illness. I’ve been using the free meditation [...]

I spent the last 2 months staying at my sister’s holiday house at Hawks Nest, about 3 hours drive north of where I normally live in Sydney. The plan was to get away and relax. I ended up working quite a lot, and having a lot of headaches. When I rested for long enough, the [...]

I’ve had a cold for the last 5 or so days, during which time the weather here in Sydney has been raining, cold and miserable. It started raining right after I put my washing was on the line on Tuesday. Friday night I finally gave up, dragged it in and put it in the dryer. [...]

I’ve been doing the daily yoga, meditation and breathwork practise that I learned at the Art of Living course, for about a half hour every morning. I find it a struggle at times, since part of me doesn’t want to have to do it. It makes me cranky. But the yoga is good for my [...]

Hi folks, On the weekend I finally got around to doing the Art of Living course. It’s recommended by Ashok in the Gupta Programme, and another friend of mine with CFS appears to be recovering while practicing the Art of Living techniques every day.

Well it’s the last day of my lemon detox, and I’m looking forward to eating food again tomorrow! I bought a stack of fruit yesterday to ease my way back in as of breakfast Monday. I feel pretty headachey and rundown; slightly worse than my average chronic fatigue day. Of course I expect to feel [...]

Good Friday, and I didn’t eat any red meat. Or anything else for that matter. Spent the day publishing some more articles, making a video for YouTube, and pondering what I’m really passionate about for my next project. Lay down for a couple of hours this afternoon. I feel a bit headachey, but not particularly [...]

That lemonade mixture is starting to taste truly ghastly. I remember on day 1 thinking “It’s not too bad”. I was wrong. Had a bit of trouble sleeping last night due to feeling hungry. Those cashew nuts on the kitchen bench look mighty appealing, and don’t get me started on the chocolate in the fridge. [...]

Well I had a lousy headache last night, which made Mythbusters & Good News Week a lot less fun to watch than normal. I woke up this morning feeling like I just wanted to do something, so I posted a new article to ezinearticles and read some of my email backlog. The plan for today [...]
