Thanks for all the replies guys.

All the tips are very good, and i will read this thread regularly to remind myself of potential solutions.

The thing is though, i don't have any money anymore lol, because i'm unemployed. So i can't get the hypnosis mp3's (even though it looks like that could really help! next time i have money i will order it), and i can't eat a healthy diet (my diet currently consists of bread, pasta, cereal, and whatever my girlfriends parents are cooking when i go to have dinner with them about twice a week), and i can't get hair regrowth supplements (altho i DO currently have some finasteride that i bought when i had an influx of money a few months ago. I take this daily). So it will have to be "the power of the mind" for now.

I do believe that the hair loss would be a physical manifestation of something mental/spiritual. I just don't know what yet.

And i don't doubt that healing my chakras could well solve the problem. I believe that a chakra imbalance could hold the key to a solution my hair loss.

I also get this feeling like finding the solution to hair loss is SUPPOSED to happen in my life so i can learn. I believe whatever solution i find to tackling hair loss, whether it be hypnosis or chakra healing or crystals (not sure which yet), will hold key learning experiences.

And i DO believe i will beat it, but i just don't know the "how" yet.

yah know it just occurred to me.. you don't have to have a hypnotist come to you.. you could just use a phone call.. and using VOIP is one way to make that phone call cheap.. as for as how much the hypnotist will charge you can't say (you could find some hypnotist forums.. see if someone would just help you out too or for practice )

What's VOIP?

Actually, I just recently ordered his hair re-growth MP3 myself, since I've noticed my hair getting a little thin up top as well. I can't give you any results as yet, since I've just started to use it, but I've had great success with some his other recordings.

Interesting! We're in the same boat here it seems. Let me know how your experience with it goes! Also, what were your past successes with his recordings?

This is the one I bought, NicB! The one I have for the hair regrowth is the omniliminal. It uses very interesting technology, with the main script playing in both ears and a different (unrelated) script playing at the same time. It sounds like it's playing inside your head. He explains the concept better in his website. The problem I have sometimes with Steve G. Jones is just the wording he uses. I think I might have some resistance to what he says because I find myself analyzing his words and rephrasing things. He can be redundant or say things that I disagree with. Does anybody know if this could affect my results? I like Andrew Dobson better, but I don't think he has any recordings for hair growth.

Ah, cool! Let me know how it goes for you too, mysterious!

I spoke to my healer who is amazing (she's based in Sydney by the way) and it is her belief that the patch was the result of my physical body finally reacting to the stress my emotional self had been under, even though I had healed much in this respect - a delayed reaction of sorts. She also believes it is related to past life issues and was amazed that I was about to head off on a trip to India that I had planned pre the patch, to spend some time in an area that is heavily populated by buddhist monks (monks used to once shave the spot where I had lost my hair in order to better connect with the universe). Whether it was LoA, or meant to be, or whatever, I found myself in India constantly being confronted with both locals and other travelers with my condition - something which never happens to me at home - who gave me a wealth of tips, spiritual and otherwise.

Wow, that is pretty profound, gracestars. Past life issues of what nature?
Perhaps the hairloss truly is a spiritual issue? Or an emotional issue? Or both?
This is something i have definitely considered in the past, but just didn't have the resources to find out for sure.

However, the interesting thing is that you mention psoriasis as running in your family. I'm not sure of the connection exactly, but as I understand it there are massive similarities in the nature of alopeica and psoriasis, and the treatments themselves are often the same. Spiritually both diseases are believed to be connected to a deep seated belief that 'I do not deserve, I do not have the right, to be here.'

Hmm, that is a very handy thing to know. Maybe the hair loss is the manifestation of a deep-seeded and forgotten belief? Perhaps it IS 'I do not deserve, I do not have the right, to be here', but i just don't know it consciously? Interesting. I have definitely mentally noted this.

I wish you all the luck in the world, and please keep us posted on your findings and on your progress.

Thanks. I will keep everyone posted.

I'll let you guys know the next step i take and how it all goes.

Any more perspectives/experiences/guidance are very welcome too!
