How I got rid of my vitiligo

In Koh Ta kyiv, there is no electricity, no running water, and even less Internet. Between white sand beaches, crystal clear waters and impenetrable jungle, the southern island of Cambodia invites you to get back to basics; exactly what Sònia Busquets (42 years old) was looking for. It was January 1, 2019 and the Spanish woman was embarking on a new path; the path to your healing. “I knew I could cure vitiligo. I knew that with my mind I had the power to repigment myself.

The first spot appeared on the eyelid of his left eye. Sònia Busquets (42) was only six years old, but she clearly remembers the moment she was diagnosed with the illness that would mark her life forever: “You have vitiligo,” they told him. “There is no cure. “Your body will become depigmented.” . So that was it.

From then on, his main objective was to hide the white spots which, little by little, invaded his body. “My whole life was basically about hiding who I was,” he says. And so, makeup, pants and long-sleeved t-shirts have become essential in her daily life. . “It’s a disease that doesn’t hurt physically, but it damages the soul.”

Sònia describes herself as a curious person. This perhaps explains why he entered the world of self-knowledge so young. “After much study, I came to the message of quantum physics and realized the unlimited power we have as human beings,” he says. “I understood that everything comes from our thoughts and that we have the power to create our reality. If we were as powerful as I read, why wouldn’t I be able to repigment myself?

Firmly believing that her body had the capacity to heal, Sònia made the decision to embark on a self-healing process in which the power of the mind would be her main ally. What should I do? In simple terms; reprogram your mind. “Accepting that we live according to a pattern of pre-established beliefs gives us the opportunity to become aware of them, break them and enter a world of infinite possibilities.”

As he explains, our brain has a conscious part and an unconscious part. “The unconscious part governs our daily life,” he says. These are the beliefs that, during the first years of life, we learned from our family, our friends, our culture or our religion. “This information is installed in our brain as if we were a computer and, very often, it prevents us from achieving our goals,” he explains. “For example, I was always told that vitiligo had no cure, so that’s what I believed, and my body listened. “I had to reprogram my beliefs to start healing.”

The first step was to pack his bags and go with his partner to Southeast Asia. “I wanted to isolate myself from society,” he recalls. The first ten days of the trip, they slept on Koh Ta kyiv, an island completely far from civilization. Sònia stopped wearing makeup, went sunbathing, walked barefoot on the beach, enjoyed nature, but above all, she told herself – day and night – that her body was capable of repigmenting itself.

“There was no mirror so I couldn’t see myself, but when we left the island we took a bus and went to the bathroom at a gas station. Looking at myself, I realized that I had very small repigmented spots on some of my spots. At that moment I couldn’t believe it, it worked. After three months of traveling, Sònia returned to her routine and the repigmentation of her body continued to bear fruit to this day.

The process, he says, doesn’t happen by magic; “Visualizations” are essential. “When we program our subconscious based on repetition and are able to really feel that what we want to achieve is already there, new brain neurons begin to be created” , said. It is for this reason that the Spaniard closes her eyes every day and repeats: “I have a completely pigmented body”, “My melanocytes function perfectly”.

In addition to visualizations, Sònia emphasizes the importance of the sun, sport and following a diet that is as natural as possible. “The healing process is holistic. We cannot limit ourselves to just one vision. “There are millions of people and millions of different stories.”

Another fundamental part of his process, he said, was healing past emotional wounds. “Germanic medicine says that 80% of illnesses are caused by emotional shocks,” he explains. “In my case it was the separation of my parents, but it could have been a redundancy or the death of a loved one. Faced with unexpected events, the body seeks a way to protect itself.

“For many years I understood vitiligo as an enemy of my body and experienced it as a victim, but in reality vitiligo, like many other diseases, ends up giving us a message. This disease alerted me that something inside me was not working well, and it is my responsibility and my job to be able to have full pigmentation in my body again.

Inspired by her own story, Sònia began supporting people suffering from vitiligo so that they could heal just like her. “I went from hiding my body out of shame to exposing myself on Instagram (@soniabusquets_coachinvocativa), but I felt like I had to do it,” she says. “It’s been super cool to see testimonials from people who have had impressive results.”

Sònia dreams of continuing to share her story and extending her attention to anyone who wants it. “I want the message to be open to everyone,” he says. “I want everyone to know that if we really want to, we are capable of creating our own reality. »
