Angela never expected meditation to help her health. As a scientist, she needed evidence before believing anything could work.

When she was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis, her life quickly changed. Severe stomach pain, constant trips to the bathroom, and strict dietary restrictions made normal daily life nearly impossible. She feared she would need medication for the rest of her life.

But Angela also believed that stress might have played a role in the condition… and that if the mind could influence illness, it might also influence healing.

Searching for answers, Angela began reading Dr Joe Dispenza’s books, including You Are the Placebo, Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself, and Becoming Supernatural. She began practicing the meditations daily, sometimes two or three times a day.

Within weeks she noticed changes. Her mood improved first, followed by steady improvements in her physical symptoms.

Three months later, Angela returned for medical testing. The scans showed something she hadn’t expected: her colon appeared completely normal. Today, Angela continues meditating and chose to share her story so others searching for answers might find hope in her experience.
