If We Listen to Our Body, It Will Tell Us the Unexpected
As strange as it may sound when something terrible happens, or whatever rejection we get, that small little crack inside our body 'hurts' in that place that we didn't even realise we had. And I am not talking about death, whom sorrow belongs to the cycle of life, but the common everyday roadblocks, such as discouraging moments, disillusions, unrequited love, just to name a few.

ASMR: What's This All About?
So, let's kick this off with the obvious question: what is ASMR? ASMR stands for Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response. It's a strange name that doesn't really explain what the thing is, but the term is used to describe the sensation when a person has a specific physical response to hearing a specific type of noise. It is most often described as "head tingles." It's when your scalp perks up in goosebumps, which then causes a relaxing sensation with it. It's like getting a scalp massage without being touched. When the sensation gets stronger, the tingles can manifest in goosebumps down the neck and arms as well. Millions of people claim to experience this sensation, and while it all sounds like it's bullshit, the thousands of ASMR videos on YouTube would suggest that maybe it isn't a bunch of crap.

Telling the Body to Heal
Tapping into an unlimited healing ability is something everyone wants to accomplish. Can you imagine a world where that can actually happen? Can you imagine waking up with pain, being able to send energy to the area and having it be relieved within minutes? Modern medicine has blocked that ability with lies so that they can make money off of society. The government has also added blocks so that they can get a percentage off that dollar. Millions of tax payer money is spent on research but yet there are no conclusions why people are getting sick. How can we cure cancer when we are blinded by the falseness of the small information that we are led to believe. If you do your own research, you will see and understand the greatness of the human body and mind. We have the ability to overcome any obstacles that are placed in front of us, and that includes diseases like cancer. For centuries before modern medicine, people were able to grow and make their own remedies that cured their sickness. With trial and error, they have succeeded. Money back then was not the issue; they simply just wanted to live, and proved that till the government took control.

Run for Your Sober Life
Receiving treatment in Southern California comes with many perks. One of the most apparent perks is the beautiful weather that finds a surreal balance along the coastline of the Pacific Ocean. In an effort to change my life for the better, I entered treatment without any grand expectations, just happy to get closer to the shorelines of California than I already was. Surrendering my daily schedule to the care and direction of a treatment facility left me with little free time and created a great appreciation for down time I used to fill with consuming alcohol. Running outdoors, taking advantage of the SoCal weather became a vital part of my life in early recovery.

Archetypes
Who is Jung? What did he discover? Carl Gustav Jung was a Swiss psychologist and psychiatrist who we know best through his concept of the Collective Unconscious. He also proposed and developed the ideas for extroverted and introverted personalities and archetypes. Jung worked closely with Sigmund Freud for many years, but eventually came to a disagreement and parted ways. One of the disagreements between these two incredible psychologists dealt with the unconscious mind. Freud believed the unconscious held our repressed thoughts, traumatic memories, and our libido which eventually resulted in mental illness. Jung, however, believed the unconscious was divided between the personal and collective.

A Message for the Compulsive Daydreamers
I suffered a fairly influential concussion two years ago. I say influential, because I am unaware of the physical severity of it, although I am told that in the emergency room they thought, for at least a moment, that they might need to drill a hole in my skull, to drain the blood. Not exactly indicative of the bruising, but it says something, anyways.
