Our Recommendation
How Hezi Helped himself to Rehabilitate his Physical and Mental Situation |
Physical Disabilities |
After a series of diseases such as Multi-System Failure, CVA, Cancer, diabetes, Heart Failure … and more, attacked my husband at the age of 50 to 56, (now 59), one after the other, and left him with physical disabilities, Hezi's mental situation was insufferable. |
The anger about the injustice, the frustration for what has happened to him was enormous. |
Recovery required significant mental strength , that Hezi lacked, as he also had to cope with permanent physical damage as a result of the difficult diseases : |
Weakness & Paralysis seizures of his right side body (from the CVA); limbs numbness (from diabetes), left arm paralysis, Instability – Standing & Walking, severe Back pains, Heart Failure, Diabetes, 30 kg overweight. |
He also had to cope with the crash of his productive, successful and happy man identity – to a dysfunctional, depressed handicapped needy person – at age of 50 to 56. |

Depression |
So how can you cope with such horror – how can you even keep on leaving? |
He was embittered, angry and deeply depressed. |
The doctors didn't give much hope for medical recovery, more over – they all warned about his overweight aggravating his health – and together with all his medical problems – endangered his life. |
The overweight also made his overall functioning very difficult. 90% of his waking hours – were on the TV sofa. |
The greatest comfort was food – "what else was there for him….?" And he "needed and deserved this comfort…" - so he thought and repeatedly said. |
He was waiting for some salvation – with no chances of arriving… so why not enjoy life as long as he can? – And food is a great joy – we all know that… |
And there was where he had to make the change – his thought of what he needed. |
How Can you Cope? – How can you heal? |
You probably ask yourself – what does she want from him – after Cancer, CVA – how can he help himself? What is he – a doctor? |
The answer is yes! – We can cause the healing to occur. |
And there is a medical explanation for that – it involves our immune system that keeps our body safe from diseases : |
One of the main causes for diseases to occur in our body is the malfunction of our immune system. |
Some of the causes for this malfunction are: daily stress situations, depression, mental stress, anxiety, lack of satisfactory sleep etc. |
That means that our mental state is deeply affecting our medical situation and durability against diseases. |
Stressed and depressed situations weaken our body, cause sickness and make healing more difficult. |
We all know how love and support helps sick people recover from severe illness or medical operations – recoveries that exceeds doctors' expectation etc. – this is the story – it is us helping us! |
Recovery does not mean that everything will turn out all right – some things never will – but we have learn to live with that!!! |
How Hezi Came out of Depression |
When Hezi understood that recovery is something he has to do on his own – he took control of what was going on in his life – and the change occurred. |
How did it happen? |
Part of the triggers to this dramatic change in Hezi's attitude were 2 books he read – both of ECKHART TOLLE : |
1. |
The Power of NOW – Tolle inspires to discover the freedom and joy of a life lived “in the now". |

|
Explanation: we condition our happiness on the past or on the future i.e. – how can we be happy if this or that happened to us, done to us, said to us… etc. (past) – or when, or if, we will have this or that – love, house, car, job, career, success – we will be happy… (Future) |
When we will realize that we can be happy only NOW – not yesterday or tomorrow – we will make the change – we will leave the past for lessons learning and future for plans making, without conditioning our happiness on it, and enjoy Now – because Now is where our happiness exists. |
A masterpiece with the power to change lives (that what it did to Hezi & me….) |

2. |
A New Earth – Tolle's expands and shows that there is a way out of suffering but it must go through releasing ourselves from identifying with it. Understand what our ego gains from seeing ourselves as needy and unfortunate. |
  |
And how our attachment to the ego creates the dysfunction that leads to anger, jealousy and unhappiness. |

ECKHART TOLLE, defined as a contemporary spiritual teacher, tells his own story in his books, about the spiritual awakening & change he made from the lowest point of depression & dysfunction – to find his inner peace and greater fulfillment in his life. |
I strongly recommend reading these books – not only in depression cases – but for each one and one of us – they make a profound change in our state of mind –understanding that happiness is in our reach & own hands. |
I happened to me & it happened to Hezi. |
These books have showed Hezi the way to make the inward change and regain his strength – to help himself. |
How Hezi Helped himself to Rehabilitate his Physical and Mental Situation : |
1. |
He came out of depression – I can tell that today – Hezi regards himself as a happy person. He enjoys the great joys of life – our loving family, friends and living. |
|
He also learned to accept his disabilities. |
2. |

4. |
He is finally medically stable - The series of diseases occurred from age 50 to 56 – every few months another medical catastrophe has landed on him. Since Hezi made the above change – 3 years ago –we cannot say that Hezi is healed – as he still suffers from many diseases as mentioned above – but the catastrophes stopped. He is medically stable. And each disease is well coped with. |
|
His good mental situation, healthy nutrition & daily physical activity suited for his physical disabilities- keeps his medical situation stable and in a steady improvement course. |
Be well. |
