Going deep.
Most of the true treasures of this world
lay in the depths of things.
If you were to content yourself with
superficial things-think of what you'd be
missing.
If you only swam on the surface of the
water you'd miss the wonders below. If
you only ate the skin of fruits and
vegetables you'd be in a sorry state. If
all you ever read of a book was it's first
few pages, or if all you ever wanted to
see in a film were the trailer, well you'd
certainly be missing the big picture.
There are no quick fixes for herpes.
The virus lives deep within you in the
core of your nerves cells. It has access
to all the thoughts and feelings that
course through your body. When you are in
equilibrium the virus is likely
dormant-when you are out of balance,
angry, scared, anxious, ashamed the virus
is likely going to be active.
To truly manage your herpes in a holistic
way you have to take a deep personal
inventory. What are your triggers? Are
you at peace with the virus' permanent
presence in your body? Have you been
successful in rejecting the superficial
and mean-spirited stigma placed on people
with herpes and regained all the
self-esteem and confidence you lost when
you found out you had herpes? Are you
living a life of integrity by informing
your potential lovers beforehand of your
herpes status and doing your best to
manage your herpes so that your are less
likely to infect others? What are you
willing to start doing to manage your
herpes better? What are you willing to
stop doing to manage your herpes better?
Are you fixated on the negative aspects of
having herpes or are you looking at the
brighter side of things?
Once a unflinching personal inventory is
taken it's possible to see the whole
picture of having herpes. There are no
completely negative or completely positive
experiences in life. Herpes doesn't have
to be a completely negative experience.
There are positive aspects to having
herpes.
Herpes can act like a barometer which
sends you an warning when you have become
too far out of balance.
Having herpes can be like a litmus test to
show you who really cares about you. If
after telling someone you have herpes they
are less interested in pursuing a romantic
and sexual relationship with you they
didn't care enough about you to begin
with. If after telling someone who is a
friend or family member that you have
herpes and you feel their lack of
support-then you more clearly see where
you stood with them all along.
Having herpes challenges your personal
integrity. It challenges you to tell an
uncomfortable truth to lovers for their
own protection and challenges you to take
measures to protect the health of
others.
If you have never experienced what it is
like to be scorned or being prejudiced
against because of something out of your
control, herpes helps you experience that
reality so that you can sympathize better
with other discriminated against people in
our society.
Having herpes is a cold slap of humility
in our all too arrogant existence as human
beings on this planet. We have been
taught by some of our religions and
philosophies that we are the dominant
force on the planet when in reality
microbes have always been dominant and
continue to be dominant. As I have said
in other writing we are a sideshow-most of
the real action in this world happens on a
microscopic level. We are a home to
hundreds if not thousands of viruses,
bacteria, fungi and protozoa. We could
not digest food without the hundreds of
bacteria in our mouths and intestines. We
are colonized by microbes. Most are
beneficial or neutral some are harmful.
Maybe with more humility we would be less
likely to abuse the plants, animals and
environment around us and see the bigger
picture.
Staying in healthy balance with your own
thoughts and emotions including making
peace with the herpes virus is the most
important step in managing herpes in a
healthy holistic way. Herbal medicine,
drug therapy, supplements, yoga, hypnosis,
etc can all help, but going deep within
and creating peace and harmony in your
life is the key.
