Hi Ms. Diamant,
A friend of mine saw your show at the Victoria Fringe and told me he learned you suffered
from chronic fatigue at some point. I suffer from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and was
wondering if you could tell me what worked for your recovery from it, if that's the case.

Hi there
I haven't recovered from CFS, I just have a different way of viewing it and I only use that label
because it seems to help people understand. Not sure how hopeful I can sound since I am
down sick today, but here goes...
First of all, I see it as a healing process. I am working my way through what I will term "personal
karmic shit." Second, I believe some people are filters for what I will term "global karmic shit"
and I am one of them. So it's a healing process for myself and others through me. I also don't
really see it going away since I have been at it since the early 90s. Letting go of "fixing it" has
actually helped me. I believe many illnesses are actually how people express a reaction to the
atrocities and injustices of the world. But that's just me. I am no longer interested in the
medical model.
All the best, Tasha

This show will challenge you. As Tasha Diamant vulnerably stands before you, your own helplessness opens up and you are left in this pause to contemplate on the nature of your, and our, actions. “It is an urgent point in time, for human kind.” This truth saturates from the bottom of your belly. Our life and lives, being full of light, love and consciousness, and allowing our misdemeanors to pass us and end all abusive behavior: these are the things that are most important now. The end of the century of violence, the end of our rampant dissociation with life in general and our obsession with disconnection all are present with the naked awareness that the naked body encourages in our minds. Tasha tells stories of her own life, of depression, of “not wanting to be here,” of maternal nature and of the meditative state required to engage your inner self, in order to heal and transcend. The raw truths that are conjured by a room full of thoughtful people will help us all. This is the most relevant and powerful work at the Fringe and Tasha Diamant is deserving of a full audience every night. Absolutely I cannot urge you enough: go out and experience it for your Self – life becomes better here.
