    WMG, blessings to you. I think many here can relate to physical symptoms happening from spiritual growth. Everything will come out right, not to worry.

    When I got a level 2 Reiki attunement, I had fairly severe dizzy spells that lasted off and on all day and night, for a couple of days. I asked my teacher and she said it's likely just expansion, but told me to see a doctor if it continued, or if my intuition told me to. My intuition told me to take it easy and let it pass, so I did. There were times when I had to crawl to the couch to lie down, I couldn't stand up. Yet it didn't worry me, just an inconvenience.

    Flower essences can help enormously in times of expansion. Bach is good to start, they are available in health food stores. Machaelle Wright talks about expansion, the 'ring pass not' and her work with nature, her life's journey in 'Behaving as if the God in all life mattered'.

    Do you have a support system of some kind? That really helps, but you can get through it fine without one. My husband didn't want me to do anything with Reiki ... spiritual things always scared him, and he could see even then that my path would take me further away unless he joined me. Sometimes inner growth changes how your outer life is. Thankfully, it also enables you to figure out how to proceed.

    And besides, the village is your support system ... as Ulli says, someone's usually around 24/7.

    Please let me know if I can help you in any way.

    As the flower doesn't need to be told when to bloom, so all things do naturally run their courses.

    "All things work to the good of those who love God, and are called according to their purpose."

    What you say is good advice, kindred, for me, and for many of us, but there is an equal portion of those called who need not focus the mind, but to focus the heart, and feel what is. For those, to discourse on meditation is a distraction for them. This is why Shiva gave one hundred and eight different techniques, one for every type of human being. Please understand, it's different for everybody, yet there is that intangible quality that weaves through the experience of us all, magical and unexpressable. It's not that one is better or worse for the differences, but each is beautiful and unique. It's a wonderful feeling I have, today.

    Thank you Belle for your prayers and for the Dandelion Root Cancer Cure. I've always washed the roots before (working at a farm that was supplying an herbalist shop here in Québec). I find this interesting and I will try it for myself. I will tell Catherine about it also. She is currently receiving chemo every 3 weeks (her fourth treatment next week) and she listens to the doctors... so anything supporting or stimulating her immune system she does not do. She does homeopathic remedy to lessen the chemo's side effects, sees an osteopath, receives energy treatments, meditation/visualisation, juices a bit, eats organic and has cut on meat, and drinks herbal teas for digestive problems caused by the chemo. I let her be... when I'm too much on her case, she shuts me off. So I concentrate on being there for her and the Garden.

    The work day at the Garden went very well. There were not as many people as wished to do the hard work so I pitched in. There is still much compost left and I am working on spreading it to the trees and other flower beds around. I should be done by Friday... hopefully. My body is aching a lot and I'm forgiving myself for having let me become so out of shape. But then again, I'm hard on myself since I still can do more than the younger ones. hehe... We've heard of some donators yesterday... we have more that 450$ in gift certificate and more to come !! WOW ! We're going shopping this afternoon... this is the fun part, choosing the flowers and we will start planting by next week ! All my body aches are worth it!

    I have to admit that I'm a bit overwhelmed though. Most of the work is falling on me so I have to put on some strong boundaries otherwise I will get lost. I just have to laugh at myself for getting involved in such a project with a bunch of sick people! Duh... of course I will be the one working the most. I am learning a lot though, healing a lot, letting go a lot. Shovelling compost does bring me to the root of myself and I am grateful. Once the hard work is done, the fun part will start, so all is good.

    Yesterday was an off day. It was raining and I decided to go the the movies. Went to see this (highly recommended):



    Please know that I read all of your posts and that I keep you All in my heart.

    Peace by with You.

    Hi Mark,
    I’ve read the other comments and I would agree with them all. I’d add that people who are aware will experience the symptoms before others that are not in tuned with their bodies. Each of us will experience these changing times differently. I only see it as a good thing. That all your inner work is reaching another level.

    I’ve been experiencing a sudden “gap” of not being able to identify the empty spot. It’s as if I run a movie projector with a film strip and each section contains my body, only some frames are missing. So there’s a gap. A nothingness that fills it. It’s fleeting. It’s not a loss so much as the inability to identify what “is not”. What I’m doing is trying not to label. Just be aware of the experience. I’m trying “not to fix” because I have a sense that there’s nothing that needs fixing. My gut says its fine.

    Blessings, to you, too,
    Paula

    Samsara! This trailer in my Mothers language gave me a needed reason to cry, i lack sufficiant emotional and total bodily contact with humans. Perhaps it's time for another dog.......

    My research of Lymedisease has taken me to this point:

    If Lymedisease is detected shortly after the bite Penicillin will be effective. I have the "late/ untreated form.

    My homeopath only advised me to take the antibiotics recommended by my MD since he could feel my anxiety. He states that the Sanukehl Brucel D6 marks the toxins and also the capsulated spirochetes and thats enough to be healed from this "chameleon bacteria" that has a way of living in symbiosis with and tricking the immunesystem so that it cannot identify it as an invader.

    When you have a "late untreated" Lymedisease (more than 5-6 months) the bacteria have spread/migrated in the body and Antibiotics can make you symptomfree but as soon as the Spirochetes are "attacked" they can hide in a capsulated form in the tissue and organs and just wait for the immunesystem to weaken and then they "roll out" in the active spirochete from and the symptoms come back.

    Also the acupuncture i had for 2 months not knowing what was wrong with me has helped my immunesystem all the same to fight the bacteria but couldn't erase the disease altogether.

    I still don't have any appetite and feel somewhat "shut off" emotionally but i'm going to cook a fish soup now and i thank the universe/my higher self for the ongoing synchronicities connecting me to all this information about Lymedisease. Must be some higher purpose to this?

    Well i'll go and hug the first person i meet....well that depends....You know living alone having Moon/Neptune conj. and South Node in Libra is not healthy, just have to find the right pple and not ending up in codependency (the latter lesson i've already learned)

    Love all the hugs!

    Been thinking a bit about Ulli's post a ways back about creating a meme. One doesn't instantly come to mind, but thoughts of broken systems and working around them, sharing with each other keep popping into my head.

    imo, there is a purposefulness in the breaking of systems...a belief that we are at their mercy and will welcome any solution they come up with...you know, problem, reaction, solution.

    But we don't need them or their solutions. For example... Their medicines don't work at the best and do great harm at the worst...Gaia provides. I've been studying and working with medicinal herbs for a few months now, and have planned a medicinal herb garden to be planted as soon as the possibility of another frost has gone. Will be taking "hands on" classes this summer learning what parts of what plants are used and how to prepare them for teas, tinctures and salves instead of the trial and error way I've been doing it. This came out of personal necessity, but if it ever comes to a shtf scenario I will be prepared to help others. Actually, it doesn't need to wait for the shtf...why not start right now?

    What else can we do? What do you know...how can it be used to replace dependence on "them"...can it be easily shared with one another, quietly, person to person? Carmody's thread on browns gas comes to mind.

    I keep feeling we all would like a better way to live, and that we can start living it right here and now.

    Laid off from work? What did you do? What knowledge do you have? Can it be useful in your community? While you're waiting for another 'job' to come along, why not use your skills now to be shared with the people around you? Freely given. Money system broken? to be replaced with another money system? He11 no. That's just more of the same. What's wrong with sharing our gifts and talents with one another right now. Why wait...for what are we waiting?

    I may be way off base here, but I would love to see a world where all is shared in common...everyone's needs met through service to one another. Yeah, I know, pie in the sky thinking...eternal optomist...ideal world and all that. But you have to start somewhere.

    Sorry for the long post. I just needed to put this out there...especially in the Here and Now where sharing and helping one another lives. Letting go now.

    Don't be sorry! Your post resonates a lot with what i've been doing in my life and also with my current situation.

    Wow, Village is humming with activity and energy...

    Anxious today. Rapid heartbeat yesterday...allllll day. Those physical symptoms... I am also trying to handle the anxiety wtihout meds...I take the smallest dose there is of Xanax occasionally, the doctor says it is such a low dose she doubts it is doing anything. But I have a pretty sensitive system, so I maintain that it does just enough. I have been out for a few weeks, and today is the hardest. Breathe in.......Breathe out......Let go.....

    The past couple of pages here have been jampacked for me...every single post resonating very strongly. I am now overcome with emotion, and I wasn't before. I am feeling a release is needed. Not fun but, sigh, necessary.

    Ulli, I'm ecstatic that I was able to give back even the smallest bit...thanks for letting me know the cards were spot on...hey, maybe I have a gift in the cards somewhere...that would be cool

    Have been given a heads-up that my younger sister is wanting to call me...in the next few months probably. That is incredibly painful. Just that knowledge is probably the instigator of this freaking headache... I simply do not know how to process situations that are this kind of painful. My Dad, knowing nothing (that I can detect from my memories of his life) of Oneness or Coming Changes or growth the way we all are experiencing, used to say to me that I am a deep feeler. Yes, I am. So when something hurts, it reeaallllyyyyy hurts. Sometimes the hurts are very deep. Part of me says to set it down and go on, it is not important in the whole scheme of things. And, in part that's true. But the other part says that feeling all that hurt is necessary to let it go. And, I suppose that's true too. But it is sooooo painful to sit with hurt, and feels counterproductive when all I want to do is reach up, look up, be a source of strength for my family and a giver of what I can in the Village... This is crappy. She will want to speak of the past situation, probably apologize...eesh. I think I wanna throw up. :/

    There is so much ahead of me, good-bad-indifferent, so much learning and growth...

    My mantra for today (until Tom arrives)...I think I can, I think I can, I think I can...

    I love you all so much,
    Life is a road we don't travel alone. But everyone's on their own journey home.
