This post discusses the novel co-creative self-healing modality I developed for rewiring your brain for success.
The sacred self-healing method can be used for wiring your brain for success when you have MCAS. I mentioned in this post that limbic system health is key to healing Mast Cell Activation Syndrome or histamine intolerance. In this post, I share my method for limbic system retraining based on forgiveness.

What is MCAS?
Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) is a chronic condition that affects all organ systems. MCAS is serious and disabling and people with MCAS experience often significant and debilitating symptoms daily, including anaphylaxis, which can be fatal.
MCAS is often found in combination with other chronic conditions such as Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) and Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS).
Frequently healthcare providers do not know about MCAS, and the tests for MCAS are problematic because they are not uniformly reliable. MCAS can be difficult to manage. Treatments include blocking mast cell mediators with anti-histamines and mast cell stabilizers, as well as avoiding triggers.
Check out this post on how to manage MCAS.
What is Limbic System Dysfunction?
Limbic system dysfunction contributes to anxiety, depression, OCD, and increased sensitivities. These sensitivities — from light, and touch, to foods, and environmental triggers — are common with MCAS patients. Having your limbic system regulated is part of the overall MCAS solution.
Limbic system dysfunction is a major trigger of MCAS. The limbic system is the part of the brain that monitors for safety and controls emotion and sensitivity. DNRS, Nervous System Reboot, the Safe and Sound Protocol, and the Gupta Program are three well-known options that are helpful for retraining the brain based on the notion of neural plasticity.
My Sacred Self-Healing Method can also rewire your brain toward greater health.
Re-wiring your brain with the sacred self-healing method for MCAS
You can actually change the way your brain functions by developing new ways of thinking about stressful triggers, and these techniques teach you how to do that. If you are particularly sensitive you may have trouble sticking with a program such as DNRS or Gupta, as they are designed to be fairly rigorous. By starting slower, and following a regimen with fewer repetitions, you may have more success.
My Sacred Self-Healing Method for brain re-training uses forgiveness and it is based on A Course In Miracles, or ACIM, a powerful self-study course in changing the way you see yourself and the world. Like ACIM, my method is a self-study program for retraining your brain through gentle inquiry into your triggers. With Sacred Self-Healing, you learn to identify your issues and bring them to the light for forgiveness.
The bucket theory
The bucket theory offers a helpful analogy for understanding symptom reactions with MCAS.
Think of your body as an empty bucket that you want to keep from overflowing. Different foods and activities fill your histamine bucket at different speeds but they combine to form the total level of histamine in your body (how full your bucket is). A fuller bucket means you have more histamine symptoms. When you manage triggers, reduce exposure to known triggers, and take medications and supplements to reduce histamine, you can manage the level of your bucket.
Know your typical symptom progression
Knowing your symptom progression in a symptom flare is the key to developing your own rescue plan. In this post, I discuss how to determine your own symptom progression. Once you know what typically happens in your symptom progression you can design a rescue plan to address those symptoms.

Forgiveness meditation: Using the sacred self-healing method for MCAS
The following how-to video is a guided meditation that walks you through the process of identifying an issue, like your health situation, and bringing it to the light for forgiveness. I have a number of free YouTube videos on my channel that assist with this process, but this one is a good place to start.
Why forgiveness: The root of the sacred self-healing method for MCAS
Forgiveness is one of the core principles of the Sacred Self-Healing Method. And by forgiveness, I mean as it is viewed by ACIM, as it is known in shorthand. When I talk about forgiveness, people are not thinking of the type of forgiveness that ACIM teaches. They might be thinking about pardoning an offender, no matter what happened, and losing their power in the process. They might be thinking about sexual abuse in the Catholic church, and the abhorrent practice of pretending that it did not happen. They might be thinking about a victim telling a rapist to their face that they are forgiven. But this is not how ACIM teaches forgiveness.
ACIM does not ask you to forgive the situation; it suggests that you only desire to see it differently. You still have MCAS, a chronic illness; it is a truth and real in this experience of embodiment. But when you decide with your right mind to see it differently it means that you declare that, yes, it is happening, it is a truth, I honor my feelings about it, AND I am deciding not to have it define me anymore.
So, the Sacred Self-Healing Method is a powerful way of seeing your situation differently. It gives you tools for acknowledging the hard aspects of your illness, or any situation while teaching you how to think differently about it. It doesn’t greenwash or offer toxic positivity. It is a helpful technique that meets you where you are and assists you in getting unstuck.
