Discover the Natural High: My Journey to Healing Through Uniqueness

Have you ever experienced a natural high, free from substance-induced effects? In my case, I was blessed with a profound endorphin rush that not only provided me with the energy and healing I needed but also served as a pivotal moment in my journey towards understanding my body's true potential.

A Health Scare and the Beginning of a Journey

About seven years ago, a series of unexpected and concerning health issues nearly derailed my life. Elevated liver enzymes and abnormal bilirubin levels, coupled with other aggravating symptoms, sent me into a state of fear and worry. Multiple tests and scans, along with consultations with specialists, led to an exhausting period of uncertainty and anxiety. One particular shock came from a fellow doctor's suggestion of a potentially dangerous liver transplant, which added an element of despair to my already tumultuous state.

Pushing Through with Endurance

Despite my deteriorating health, I found myself juggling an impressive workload: teaching four classes, including two evening sessions, and serving as a Faculty Senator involved in the rigorous process of interviewing potential presidents for my institution. My plate was full, and yet, I dragged myself to work every day, desperately seeking a solution to the ailment that was sapping my energy—literally.

The Miraculous Moment

On a particular Monday night, as the winter chill set in, I took a moment to pray not for healing but for the energy to manage that evening’s three-hour class. With a sense of determination, I walked from my office to the classroom, laden with teaching materials. As I began the class, I noticed something extraordinary—a rush of endorphins unlike anything I had experienced in my younger days when I clocked miles on my running shoes. This endorphin surge was however 10 times more potent, a rush that seemed to answer my prayers in a way I didn’t anticipate.

A Return to Normalcy

To my relief, within six weeks, my lab results revealed that everything was back to normal. Though I never received a formal diagnosis from my medical professionals, the endorphin rush served as a powerful reminder of the body's innate ability to heal when given the right conditions. This experience was not just about feeling better; it was a profound lesson in resilience and the importance of pushing through difficult times.

Lessons Learned

My story is a testament to the power of natural highs. Unlike the perceived highs from substances, these endorphin rushes can provide not just temporary relief but also a deeper sense of health and well-being. They teach us that sometimes, it's the simple moments of perseverance and hard work that can lead to significant transformations. When faced with challenges, taking a moment to focus on what we can control and pushing through, we may find that healing is within reach, naturally and unexpectedly.

Conclusion

The endorphin rush I experienced that night was more than just a fleeting feeling; it marked a turning point in my healing journey. Whether it was an answer to prayer or simply a result of sheer determination, it was a moment of profound gratitude and a reminder of the resilience within. If you too are seeking a natural high, consider the power of your own body and the potential for healing when faced with adversity.
