Santa Clara Meditation Health – My Eczema Has Now Completely Disappeared
So-Yeon Kim / San Jose, California
“Did you have eczema?” “Yes, and it was severe.” People may not know the fact that I used to have eczema until I tell them. Eczema was my main issue during my teenage life. My eczema started when I was in 5th grade. I started to see it on my arms and it was okay in the beginning. But, got worse and worse and then when I was in junior high, the eczema spread throughout my entire body.
I had a depression and social phobia due to eczema
I had pus coming from bumps on my face, and I had sores over my whole body. I tried all different kinds of eczema treatment. I met a dermatology doctor to get help and also went to see an acupuncture doctor. I changed my diet, and even changed the wallpaper in my room. I had to be careful of what I ate, wore and everything in between. But, I didn’t see any improvement.
Sometimes I became a little better, but sometimes I became worse. During this process, I became really exhausted. I cried a lot at that time. I didn’t want to see my reflection in the mirror, so I always turned the light off while taking showers. I also suffered from social phobia due to my eczema. If I mention how I used to be, no one believes me because of how I am now. My skin is very clean. My eczema has disappeared forever. So, now I’d like to explain how I started this meditation since meditation was what got rid of my eczema.
My eczema has completely cleared since I found the main reason and threw it away. It took only 8 months.
Before 4th grade in my elementary school, I was a popular and smart girl. But, when I got to 5th grade, I started to feel stress about how I looked, my exam scores, and relationships with friends. Due to that, I started to have eczema. I also forced myself to study harder and because of that, my eczema worsened.
I had always been top student in the class, so I didn’t want to lose to anyone. I had a strong inferiority,
Since I had eczema, I pretended even more to be okay and tried to hide my eczema, which brought about more stress and my eczema got worse. It could’ve been fine if I had met this meditation at that time. I could’ve thrown away my mind of stress and inferiority.
After 3 months of starting this meditation, my eczema began to disappear. 8 months later, my eczema disappeared completely. Whenever I felt pain on my skin, I always meditated and I became totally fine. I found out what the main reason of my eczema was. It was not simply illness, but I had it because of ‘my mind’. After doing this meditation, everything in my life turned out well. My body and mind had been completely healed, and my relationship with friends and family members improved greatly.
In my opinion, eczema is not something that can be cured only by any medication or treatment because it usually comes from stress. The main reason why I had eczema at that time was because I was so stressed about having good relationships with the other kids. I almost had a social phobia and depression. Thus, the perfect solution for eczema is if you could do both treatment and meditation. Now, I’m grateful to my eczema because I was able to start this meditation.
