indigo (an astringent, antipyic, antiemetic, and hemostatic) applied
the the entire cranium.
After the stroke patient has stabilized, the following colors are useful
to prevent further stroking:
- lemon (helps to dissolve blood clots; acts as a chronic alterative)
applied onto the front of the body.
- magenta (regulates the circulation system) applied to the face, neck
and chest.
Can Psychological Approaches Help Relieve My Discomfort After Having A Stroke?
Consider the following ideas which may or may not ring true for you. If
they do, think about how you can use the power of your own mind to avoid
detrimental thought patterns for yourself.
- Stroke may come on because of a dominant and often obsessive need
to control one's environment; LACK OF TRUST; do you find it difficult if
not impossible to trust the intention or activities of others? Do you continually
worry about financial and material security and well-being? There's a strong
association between stroke and feelings of vulnerability and belief that
external world is unsafe.
- Stroke may represent a kind of giving up; resistance; where you'd
rather rather die than change (or think you would). This is clearly a rejection
of life.
Affirmations may help you get beyond these negative thought patterns. You
may write them across the bathroom mirror in lipstick, or recite them outloud
to yourself while driving, cooking, and bathing, or find a ritual that is
meaningful and relaxing for you to let the healing words sink in.
- Life is change, and I adapt easily to the new.
- I accept life: past, present, and future.
