The diagnosis was an allergic reaction that attacked all the hair follicles on my body and caused inflammation in every single one of them. It took about a week for the red spots to turn into ' you guessed it ' baby pink spots, and then to disappear.

For the next three weeks my skin was as dry as yes - a snake skin. By the time the tiny scabs came off, I was still puzzled as to why this had happened.

Then I had a dream about leaving my body and not liking the experience at all. I found this quite strange for various reasons. Firstly I had left my body on various occasions before, but this always happened when I was awake. On each occasion I can remember leaving and returning, but I cannot re-member what happened while I was out of my body. After each experience I could identify a distinct difference in the way my mediumship progressed, and the effect has always been a pleasant surprise.

The second reason why I found this dream strange was that in the dream I did not like being out of my body at all. Even though I cannot re-member what I experience while I am away, I know it is always pleasant and something to look forward to.

Then suddenly I realised what it was about. I have been resisting the changes, and the allergic reaction was in its own way a message from my body to me that I was "shedding my skin" as part of the new cycle that I have been entering. The message is now quite clear: I can resist the changes in my life, but they will happen anyway because they are part of my Path. I need to let go of any fears that I have, because I know that those fears are only illusions. I have learnt to trust my inner compass, and there is no reason under the sun why it would fail me this time.

And guess what? I have not made any changes in my diet, and the allergy is mostly gone. And in terms of the changes in my life, I am white-water rafting and screaming at the top of my voice, because I enjoy the ride and not because I am afraid.
