Hello. My name is Neoma Lindley, and I live with a condition called ‘pseudo-tumor cerebri’, a form of IIH (idiopathic inter-cranial hypertension). This condition causes severe migraines, vision problems, and at times leaves me in such pain that I can’t function.

Treatment for this condition is a lumbar puncture and tap, to remove excess cerebral-spinal fluid. However, this procedure is expensive, and since my mother’s death last April, I have not been able to afford a tap, meaning my inter-cranial pressure is very high, and I am struggling to function.

With out treatment, I am experiencing radical and continual vision loss. I really need help.

A simple way of putting it is close your eyes, rest either two fingers or your whole hand, whatever is more comfortable and easier for you to focus energy through, relax your breathing. Imagine you are breathing in energy of whatever kind you associate with, and when you breathe out, imagine it going out through your arms and into your eyes. Do this in sets of whatever number you associate ritually with. The book I read said sets of three, but if you prefer a different number, use what works for you. 

You know what, I think I’ll ramble a little bit about myself since I haven’t actually spoken too much about myself or my demon half at all. 

I think of "demon" as more of a blanket term for chaotic entities, and even then, it can still be an inaccurate application. You can use another person's knowledge and experience to supplement your own, but there is no reason to discredit your experience because it's not a literal and direct comparison to someone else's.
