BODY. A few weeks ago, I again developed a spot of psoriasis on my left hip. Such a familiar physical sensation it is. It’s a burning, like the sun concentrated through a magnifying glass onto an ant. My thoughts amplify the burning, focusing stress and discomfort onto that spot. Like drops of acid, my negative cogitations dribble onto that patch of skin. The physical sensation amplifies the scorching thoughts and emotions.

Aloe vera doesn’t help relieve this symptom. As a matter of fact, it actually increases the dryness and itchiness. Vaseline, however, relieves the physical sensations, thereby freeing my mental and emotional processes from focusing on this rough patch. The psoriasis is now quickly disappearing.

LEFT ARM & SHOULDER. My left neck muscle was very tight when I awoke this morning, which impacted left shoulder and bicep. I’m noticing patterns of favoring the Right Arm. As soon as I feel a twinge of the resident Sinister tightness, I contract. The twinge itself is not painful, I realize. But it can be a precursor to pain, so I tend to stop the activity at the twinge. Not working through these sensations will limit the Range of Motion of the left arm – just like Zaiga wanted! A zillion self-messages throughout my life that Left is Bad, do not use your Left Hand! Yuck!
