Earlier this year, I awoke with swollen, red, itchy eyes, and sought help from one of my family practice buddies, thinking it an allergic dermatitis. Five specialsits, an herbalist, and two psychics later, I am humbled to say that this was all a soul issue. Oh, do not diminish the physical implications of such origins; my cornea became inflamed, feeling like someone had thrown gravel in my eyes.

What has emerged from this challenge, affirming over and over again is that every physical malady always bubbles up from the soul. My inability to "see" certain aspects of myself was the genesis.
