Welcome
I am so glad you are here!
In case it is your first time here, please know that everything on this website is for you, as well as on the instagram channel and other channels. It is my sincerest wish to help you recover.
Below is the “Amari’s first steps to Recovery” list for you, with links to free resources on this site to get you started.
The Quick Low Down on Recovering from a Chronic Condition
Amari: “I made it. Recovery is possible. It’s been bad. But joy was at the end. And joy can be in the future for you too.”
You may have been led to believe that you will have to manage your symptoms for the rest of your life.
You may have been told by doctors, therapists and healers that “there is no cure” for your condition.
I want you to know that recovery is in fact totally possible.
The approach that we need for healing chronic conditions is a Mind Body Spirit approach.
You can begin today. It cannot hurt you. But because you have already been through so, so much, can you please be gentle to you 💗
Up until now you have perhaps been calling this nightmare you have been living “a chronic illness journey”.
Well, because brain training is part of coming out of this (not like in the courses, more like a gentle way of unbrainwashing ourselves), can you start calling it your “Recovery Journey”.
THE “FIRST STEPS” LIST FOR YOUR RECOVERY JOURNEY
These are the first steps I did when I was at a big turning point – I went from being chronically sick for decades to “on a clear recovery journey”. I knew it was working within a few weeks.
These are also the first steps I give to my clients.
Here are the First Steps for your Recovery as a list (Tip: copy to notes):
- Add Structured Rests to your days to start to get relief
- Read about TMS here to learn about what is happening inside you
- Listen to Soothing Healing Music and Restful Meditations
- Try the super gentle Mindbody healing tool of Havening
- Try this Somatic Tracking guided meditation to reduce symptoms
- If your condition is mild or moderate, then you can try the next healing tool of EFT – Emotional Freedom Technique / Tapping (Click here)

Be Gentle to Recover
Being gentle might not mean what you think. So please allow me to explain.
It doesn’t mean you have to go to bed.
It means doing the kindest thing for you in that moment.
So, for example, adding four structured rests to your day (just as I recommend) is kind to you as long as you are able to lie down or sit down. (If this is not easy for you right now, see below).
The structured rests are designed to help you rest your mind as well as your body. Most of us “rest” by lying down, and all that happens when most people lie down if we aren’t asleep is that our mind proceeds to torture us… so that really isn’t a rest at all.
If you are feeling very agitated (in fight / flight) then it may feel much too difficult to lie down several times a day for now. Therefore a kinder way to do these meditative structured rests, if you are feeling frenetic, is to allow yourself to pop on headphones and sit up or move around whilst listening – there is more about this on the article on Structured Rests
So GENTLENESS is about applying whatever is kindest for you right now, at this moment.
Your nervous system doesn’t like sudden change.
So introduce each of the steps above one at a time – and then build them up gradually to form a routine in your day to day “Recovery Life”.
Yes, I want us to rename your life too.
It is now going to be called your “Recovery Life”.
And bear in mind this: it’s going to be temporary, this “Recovery Life”. Because soon enough you will get to the one called your “Life after Recovering”
💗
Hey there, Beautiful Soul reading this… This page has already been a lot of information, so perhaps it is time for a structured rest right now to put you on the path to recovery?
If you don’t know how to do that yet, just head to this page for a soothing meditation, hit play and close your eyes to listen for a few minutes.
💗
Well done for getting here.
💗 I’m glad you made it 💗
