I agree that it is so validating and really says something about how mania and psychosis can be tamed. I am so glad I have the opportunities to read and hear these stories. It honestly has changed my view of life itself. Sally’s story and her article describing it are amazing.

I would encourage any new reader to Gianna's site to read these wonderful articles on this site. They are filled with references to research in this area of brain 'neuroplasticity'. Unfortunately, many who have bought into the notion they have a 'life-long chemical imbalance' - without hope of recovery. I think this video does a lot to refute such claims, and offers hope to those who suffer - who seek a life of peace and happiness. Thanks for posting. Duane Gianna,

And I know that it is true because I, too, have used meditation practice to recover from mental illness. You can find my essay about it, "Recovery Through Mind Training," on my website, at http://www.sallyclay.net/Z.text/Recovery-MindTraining.pdf That’s a great video.
