"Healing Tip o' the Day #672" by Flick SnotGrass

Tip #672 is Listen to some Spike Milligan and sing either "I'm walking Backwards to Christmas" OR "The Ying Tong Song"

KARAOKE STYLE AT THE TOP OF YOUR LUNGS.

So, Like I said, I was born with an extremely severe case of excema....

I don't want to wallow

[well maybe just half a cup then]

but there were days in my early teens with:

my face,

neck,

arms,

knees

etc

bleeding, scabby

and worse

over-exhausted from very little sleep, due to the red raw night scratching,

[adrenal fatigue too probably]

that I realized to my horror that

Valerie,

Vyonne,

[insert Girl's Name here]

were ALWAYS GOING TO BE WASHING THEIR HAIR!!

They either had very dirty hair OR they didn't want to have a cup of tea with me.

The Doctors of the Day said my condition was "Genetic" and "There is nothing we can do for Flick" and "Sorry about that but he is an interesting specimen, er ... can I let my students have a prod at his hide" and "So on".

"Nothing can be done".!!!!

I plumbed depths of black helpless depression back in those dark days of 1962.

Fortunately I have a stubborn streak.

"Bloody difficult sod" is how my mother puts it, bless her cotton socks.

I found a furiously angry part of myself that said "Bugger that!" and worse

and I began my search for tools and techniques that could heal me....

.... I don't have scabs anymore .... I'm not called 'Flick ~ The Big Red Dog', anymore either

Steal from me...

no really....

I have a long list of tools that I use to this day that I have picked up, used and honed over the years and here's todays Healing Tip o' the Day #672 just for you....

#672 - Listen to some Spike Milligan and sing either "I'm walking Backwards to Christmas" OR "The Ying Tong Song" KARAOKE STYLE AT THE TOP OF YOUR LUNGS.

"Why?"

Because, Laughter produces endorphins and beneficial 'feel good' neurotransmitters.

Your breathing will improve your Heart Rate Variability, HRV and will help calm you.

It is also quite difficult to be bloody miserable while singing The Ying Tong Song out loud.

Try it, you'll see.

Be better than well,

Hi Nat,

Thanks for your note.

I found the article you mentioned online:

"Anxiety treatment generates a buzz"

The scientist at Curtin Uni is using tDCS, transcranial Direct Current Stimulation, to nudge the brain into a happier place.

Quite correct Nat ~ tDCS is another ELECTROCEUTICAL, in the same category at CES [Cranial Electro Stimulation] but using a different protocol.

Both CES and tDCS are very useful and the device I use offers me both protocols depending on what it is I want to accomplish.

Good catch Nat!

OMwards!

Hehe Flick is it bad that your post made me preen like a good student getting a gold star 🌟?

Seriously though that is handy to know it's always helpful to know somewhere in your state you can go for more information if you want to try new treatment. So far my psychotherapy is helping a lot though.

You've been a little quiet. Are you doing ok too Flick?

[Flick_SnotGrass]

Hey Nat,

hahahaha, no you're allowed a 🌟... in fact the more 🌟 you can give yourself the cheerier you feel...funny that.

Nat, quick question pls...I notice that sometime 'we' BBers tell each other to google something and the Admins don't edit that link out of the post but at other times [in this case] I gave you the link to find your newspaper article and the link got deleted....what's 'The Rule'? Thanx

Nat I'm in fine form thanks for asking, just a bit busy with my practice at the moment. Actually, I have to brag, I've been commissioned to develop a series of Healing Guided Visualizations for SOUL7, an Energy Healing Clinic in Toronto ~ I'm busy designing, writing and recording ~ excited.

I hope you are rocking too Nat.

Politically correct and appropriate hugz,

Flick

Hi Flick, while we don't allow live links to be shared on the forums, it's ok for members to tell someone how they might search and find something on the internet themselves.

[Quercus]

Hi Flick 😊

Woohoo that is awesome news! Brag away my friend! Plus you'll be creating something that helps others that is great news! Gold stars all around because you're right they feel great.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I'm glad Sophie has explained the other issue. Generally the best way to get clarification is to flick an email with your questions to BB. The nature of the rules mean we try not to discuss moderation.

I'd rather log on and read about mental health issues more than red tape wouldn't you? For example... Feel like telling us more about your guided visualisation? How does that help? Is it like the guided meditation apps/cds you can buy? So many questions 😁

Congratulations Flick!

[Flick_SnotGrass]

Hey Sophie_M, thanx for the clarification, much appreciated, Flick

[Flick_SnotGrass]

Hey Nat,

Thanks for your thoughts as always...

....these Guided Visualizations I'm are based on my amazing mentor Dr Dave Dobson's therapeutic work on De-Hypnosis.

I'll scribble more on Dobson's ideas and use of de-hypnosis in a few daze Nat...got to get back to grindstone now.

Hugz,

Flick

Time for some whimsy this mourning moaning morning?
I hope so.
There must be something in this fully caffeinated dark sumatran roast that's tickling my funny bone.
Funny bone.
Funny idea that, I wonder what they're called in Russian?
Someone here will know.
{Вы говорите «смешная кость» по-русски?} Google Translate.
Funny bones are not well named in English by the way.
No. Not at all.
Let me tell you.
I was five.
Oh, alright, four and three quarters.
[nitpicker]
We were living in Biggen Hill, overlooking the valley, in an upside-down house by the way.
And Mum called me into the kitchen.
Food.
I was running.
I ran around the corner of the door and, to this day do not know how, I hit my right elbow's 'funny bone' on the sharp corner of the big kitchen wooden door and let me tell you it hurt A LOT.
I yowled with pain.
IT REALLY REALLY HURT!!!
If I had known how to swear at that point I would have done so, enthusiastically.
What did my mother do?
Laugh.
No, no I lie ~ LAUGH.
She did.
I was affronted.
I told her in no uncertain, four and three quarter year old, terms that this was not funny and that it really really DID hurt. A lot!
Which started her off again.
"Oh, Flick that's your funny bone!"
'What?'
[staggering backwards and holding on to the stove] "Your funny bone. You just hit your funny bone! Ahahahaha!!"
[snivelling] 'But it isn't funny!!! Waaaaah''
[weeping] "I know....that's what makes it so funny!!"
And so on
Scared for life he was yer honour.

My the`rapist's made a fortune off of me since.

Anyways, I am very nearly sixty nine and I can now face the facts of the matter that this was quite a funny incident.
Quite.
Fairly.
[drains his mug]
Now at this point of my whimsy there would be a subtly brilliant nugget of whisdom for you to cart around for the rest of your day .... but there isn't.
Nope.
Not even sorry.
[long pause]
Nurse, is this really just fully caffeinated dark sumatran roast?

Dear Flick~

I just love a person that lets the past go 🙂

Croix

[Flick_SnotGrass]

Hi Croix, Yes, it's essential to put the past in the past....I have quite a number of tape sets, books, workbooks and attended many workshops on the topic. I will get the hang of it 🙂

It's a Journey you know.

OMwards!
