How Montel Williams Conquers Multiple Sclerosis
If you're like me, than you couldn't wait to watch Oprah Winfrey yesterday and watch and see how Montel felt and reacted to his diagnosis of MS.
Each and every hour someone in the world is diagnosed with the life sentence of multiple sclerosis. Today, we see some 400,000 people with multiple sclerosis. And the shocking truth is that the victims are becoming younger and younger.
Montel, once a navel officer like many of us tried to hide his diagnosis with MS, but once a newspaper writer threatened to expose his truth Montel decided to publically announce his diagnosis with MS.
On the set, Montel conducted his interview with poise, but when he discussed how he wanted Oprah to remain on her show past 2011 he became emotional. During the interview Montel cried behind the scenes and then would regain his composure to reenter the stage.
Montel stated that his primary symptoms of multiple sclerosis were pain, shooting pain up and down his body and in his face. Montel stated,It felt like someone was stabbing me in the face with a fork. Then he was asked, how do you deal with this? You get a grip was his response.
Montel then leads on to how he REALLY deals with his pain and anguish.
It's called Visualizations.
During the show, Montel had all people in the audience close their eyes, and then visualize a moment in their life where they were happy, a moment of joy.
A moment where no one or no disease can take away your peace and happiness.
A place where all problems, and concerns were gone.
The word visualization doesn't accurately describe what you do in your mind when you create change. When you picture what you want in an empowering way, a way that changes your state of mind and pushes your emotional pistons- all you've really doing is REMEMBERING something from the past- and adding what you IMAGINE for your future.
What this is called is Psycho Cybernetics and it was created by Dr. Maxwell Maltz in the early 1960s.
I often tell my patients, If you can remember, worry, or tie your shoe, you will have no trouble applying this method. The things you are called upon to do are simple, but you must practice and experience. Visualizing, creative mental picturing is no more difficult that what you do when you remember some scene out of the past, or worry about the future. Acting out new action patterns is no more difficult than deciding, then following thought on tying your shoes in a new and different manner each morning, instead of continuing to tie them in your old habitual way, without thought or decision.
I often visualize myself walking, because like Montel one of my greatest fears was ending up in a wheelchair.
Today I do realize that if this were to happen- my life would be fine. But honestly, it's something I don't want to see happen. Therefore I visualize myself walking each and every day.
