I read the forum every day and although I don't post much because I still feel like a learner, I had a recognition today that I just wanted to share, because I am so grateful for what has happened.

There is a lot of instinctive 'knowing' with RR isn't there? Although I came into the programme because I felt so crazy about my eating and my weight, I think I also 'knew' that it offered a deeper sort of healing. I have had Chronic fatigue syndrome for almost a decade and have tried every therapy and recommendation that is out there that might help, including a few nutritionists!

I'm into my 6th month with RR and the miracle is that the symptoms of CFS figure less and less in my journal. They are replaced with feelings of energy, optimism and feeling awake and refreshed after sleep. I still have some difficult days, but they are no longer black pits of despair - they are just down days with symptoms that will pass. It's hard to believe this is actually happening.

So thank you Kathleen and all you great people who write and give encouragement here and in the groups. This programme is for me. Each week it becomes more and more a part of my life. Just doing the steps one by one, taking it steadily, makes the whole thing work so beautifully. As a life long dieter and control freak, I would never have believed it if I hadn't experienced it for myself.

Now I know what Chloe means when she ends with 'healing is grand ':h6) !
