In this blog I will write some stories about my experiences in the fields of health and disease, metaphysics, and psychlogy.

My encouter with a mysterious disease

When I was working at the University of Maastricht on my PhD project 'The mechanical propertie of intervertebral disks' I was getting in a place of not being happy with my life and not quite sure what was going on. I did the stuff I thought I was supposed to do but it did not really fulfill. I did acrobatics, was active in organizing weekends with friends, did wintersport holidays as a ski teacher, organized acrobatics and street theatre holidays in a castle in the South of France. I did my work and studies at the University of Maastricht. I had some relationships during that period. Nothing long lasting.

All these things combined did not give the feeling of lasting fulfillment. And I got more and more tired and developed symptoms of muscle fatigue and pain, dizzyness in the head, flu like symptoms, general feelings of being unwell. I tried to continue my activities on will power, went to medical specialists, psychologists, tried acupuncture, diet, chinese herbs etc., but that did not change the way I was feeling. I got sicker and sicker. I finished my PhD in slow motion, where colleagues even helped me type my work on the computer, because my muscles where not working properly. I just made it to finishing my studies and write my thesis, and I now had the title of Doctor (PhD). But I was sick and it got to the point where I was mostly bedridden. I still had not found any answers to get my health back.

Something had to happen, and it did. Via an aquaintance I got into contact with an energy healer. I could hardly walk by then and I remember having to get up the stairs to where he lived on my knees. My parents had brought me there. In that first session the things that happened there helped my firstly to regain muscle strength, but the real miracle was the impact his treatment had on me. It was mind blowing how he manipulated and shifted energy in my energy field so that the way I was feeling changed immensely. I walked those steps down, and knew I had found a possible way out of the misery I was in.

It was the start of my awakening.
