    I'm not sure how to handle this lady. It usually comes to me at some point, the way to handle a teacher.
    It's been my experience that if someone is "handling me", I know it. How's this sound? Ask if you can set up a meeting, to ask for suggestions on how to assist, in strengthening Em's academic pursuits. When two meet on equal footing, that is felt as well.
    Quote This one isn't coming to me, so it's causing added stress. I know it will have to be done, but more and more I am wanting to hide my head in the sand instead.
    It's been my experience that when I put my head in the sand, it leaves a gritty taste in my mouth.


    Peace,

    PS 1inMany, I promise not to wear an "advise hat". It's neither good for you or me. It's like saying I don't honor your ability to problem solve. This one just rang too deep. I know we are here to listen and be supportive. That boundary gets blurred sometimes for me. ))hugs & hearts((

    There is a teacher issue I have to address, and since I have had so many of those situations I dread it. Really, really dread it. I'm not sure how to handle this lady. It usually comes to me at some point, the way to handle a teacher. This one isn't coming to me, so it's causing added stress.
    Hey One,

    You could say ho'oponopono for the teacher situation.

    'I love you.
    I'm sorry.
    Please forgive me.
    Thank you.'

    It's about forgiving the part of yourself that brought the situation/condition into your world.

    At last ... life is ordered enough that I can think, communicate. First the move, then the unpacking, then house hunting with my sister, then a surprise party for my sister-in-law this weekend (we put up fairy lights, and little Japanese lantern lights for the party on the lower deck, and we decided to leave them up all summer heheh). Back to house hunting in a little bit...

    Dawn is coming. a ceiling fan is lazily turning, two dim lamps on in the living room, and a chandelier spotlight shining on the dining room table.

    Ulli, thank you. Without your interpretation of David running out of gas on the Bay Bridge, I would not have put my shoulder to the wheel as I did. This is the first time since March, I feel I can relax a little and let my body recover. I took the warning to David as well, and I asked him if he'd divorce me when it got rough, and he said, "No, I'll never divorce you but I might kill you." I found that hilarious. Hehehe, we made it.

    Missed you all. Glad to be back.

    I spend most dawns and sunsets out on the deck, overlooking the canyon ridge. There are quail, wild turkey and rattlers in the garden. All sorts of birds, hawks and buzzards riding the thermals over the canyon. Two days ago, I saw a flock of little birds crossing the sky, chased by two hawks. Saw a meteor, HUGE, green rectangle with a 1940's funky flame issuing out the back. It fell for two seconds in a arc, left to right downward, then the front end broke up into little flaming bits, and then the whole thing vanished. Five of us were watching the stars come out, when it happened, smack center in front of us, in the sky clearing between the pine trees. Heh. I feel as if I am living in Golden Gate Park, set in a wilderness. The gardens are constantly presenting me with new flowers, Iris and Daffodill (pink, red, purple, yellow, white), Wisteria, Jasmine, Forget-Me-Nots (oh a river of Forget-Me-Nots snaking through the pines!), Rhododendrons, ten Dogwood trees at the bottom of the garden, Azalea, Coral Bells, all sorts of flowering ground cover and flowering bushes, and my sister-in-law, always presents me with bouquets of wildflowers she picks from the garden when she comes over ... I put the bouquets in the green house window over the kitchen sink. Being so high over the canyon, the buzzards, and evening bats as well, are at eye level. It is so interesting to watch the bird activity below. I now know the bush the quail live in. Many many humming birds. I miss my Chickadees, Titmousies, Nuthatches, and Wrentits... when David went back to clean the apartment, after we moved, a Chickadee came into the dining room (one of the most inner rooms of the apartment), looking for me and walnuts. Sigh. I'm glad he got a picture of the little fluffball. The house is pretty. The furniture is in place, the pictures are hung, most of the boxes are out of sight lol, the bedroom and bathrooms are done, David's office is set up in the den, the jacuzzi works again (and you can sit on the floor and be submerged up to the neck) (it is one of those bathtubs with a door and a seat) and the hot and cold water are reversed on the washing machine. The deck overlooks Venus slightly to the left in the pines, and her accompanying stars in the sky clearing front and center. The moon wanders, first she is with Venus, and then she rotates a quarter turn, till she is shining into the bedroom window late in her cycle. Now that summer is coming, the creek is much quieter, can only hear it when the wind is coming from the north, where we think we hear rapids.

    I had a dream of my sister who died five years ago. I entered a room that looked like a dorm at a summer camp in the woods. She was sitting in profile to me, on the bottom bunk across the room. The room was noisy with women and children. I could see her clearly. She looked utterly beautiful. She turned her head towards me, smiled radiantly, and I lipread her saying, "It's all right."

    I'll take that to the bank.

    Hope to be around much more soon. House hunting with my sister and her move, is the last big push coming up (I hope fervently).

    If y'all could intend/pray/ask/speak/will that my sister gets the house she wants, I'd be so grateful and thankful. (There is only one so far, that meets her criteria of quiet, privacy, and a fireplace.)

    OH dear, 125 pages to catch up! That is going to take me awhile!

    Love, Sierra

    Sierra!!!! I've been thinking of you lots the past few days. I'm sooooooo very happy to see your message. Happy homecoming, to your new home and back to the village. Your descriptions of your new place are magic. I'll put your sister's name on the Reiki grid for the perfect house that she wants.

    Oh, Sierra, what a lovely description of what's going on in your life...can hardly wait for more lol.

    Thanks guys for your thoughts on Em & the teacher. I am starting on the Ho'oponono (wonder if that was even close...I vote that should go into spell check lol). She won't return phone calls, I suppose I am interpreting that as a sign of difficulty. I will focus on Em. When it comes time to meet with the teacher, the words will come as long as my heart's in the right place.

    See how much your love has an effect on me?

    Well, that, and I just watched the Inelia interview. I do pull up the caboose, don't I lol? It spoke to me and had a profound effect.

    This will be a beautiful day!

    Much Love,
    Life is a road we don't travel alone. But everyone's on their own journey home.

    A beautiful calm morning in the forest. Promises of a warm day.

    Yesturday felt overwhelmed too. Don't know if it was energies or my life....probably a combination.
    The forum was a bit too much for me. Appreciated Anchors story on the bees -beautiful.

    My dream maker stepped in last night and I had calming soothing dreams.
    Dreamed of being with a few of the villagers.

    A lot of synchronicities recently -paying attention to that.

    Sierra so good to see you back and hope you will post some beautiful pictures
    of your new back yard.

    Love

    Nora

    I'm having a very hard time, i try to keep updated and post here and there in the forum but my anxiety comes and goes without warning and i can't sleep at night. Tomorrow i'm going to buy Griffonia some herb that produces "tryptofan and serotonin" as i understood it. I will be on and off and cannot concentrate for long and feel i'm not able to follow you guys up the way i would want to. I'm sending as much love as possible into the future for us all.

    @ Transiten ~ Hope you are feeling better already!
    Imo it's pretty normal the way we feel varies from
    moment to moment with all the powerful energies coming in.

    @ Calz ~ Those were some pretty cool and beautiful pictures

    I like this song very much. They exactly describe the world
    we are living in today and people still don't understand there
    is something completely wrong in this world. I am convinced
    things will change for the better, but it's still sad to see people
    keep watching tv and eating hamburgers instead of working on
    a new earth!

    Yes, it makes me feel sad. Yes, it frustrates me. And yes, it makes me feel angry.



    What's wrong with the world, mama
    People livin' like they ain't got no mamas
    I think the whole world addicted to the drama
    Only attracted to things that'll bring you trauma
    Overseas, yeah, we try to stop terrorism
    But we still got terrorists here livin'
    In the USA, the big CIA
    The Bloods and The Crips and the KKK
    But if you only have love for your own race
    Then you only leave space to discriminate
    And to discriminate only generates hate
    And when you hate then you're bound to get irate, yeah
    Madness is what you demonstrate
    And that's exactly how anger works and operates
    Man, you gotta have love just to set it straight
    Take control of your mind and meditate
    Let your soul gravitate to the love, y'all, y'all

    People killin', people dyin'
    Children hurt and you hear them cryin'
    Can you practice what you preach
    And would you turn the other cheek

    Father, Father, Father help us
    Send us some guidance from above
    'Cause people got me, got me questionin'
    Where is the love (Love)

    Where is the love (The love)
    Where is the love (The love)
    Where is the love
    The love, the love

    It just ain't the same, always unchanged
    New days are strange, is the world insane
    If love and peace is so strong
    Why are there pieces of love that don't belong
    Nations droppin' bombs
    Chemical gasses fillin' lungs of little ones
    With ongoin' sufferin' as the youth die young
    So ask yourself is the lovin' really gone
    So I could ask myself really what is goin' wrong
    In this world that we livin' in people keep on givin' in
    Makin' wrong decisions, only visions of them dividends
    Not respectin' each other, deny thy brother
    A war is goin' on but the reason's undercover
    The truth is kept secret, it's swept under the rug
    If you never know truth then you never know love
    Where's the love, y'all, come on (I don't know)
    Where's the truth, y'all, come on (I don't know)
    Where's the love, y'all

    People killin', people dyin'
    Children hurt and you hear them cryin'
    Can you practice what you preach
    And would you turn the other cheek

    Father, Father, Father help us
    Send us some guidance from above
    'Cause people got me, got me questionin'
    Where is the love (Love)

    Where is the love (The love)
    Where is the love (The love)
    Where is the love
    The love, the love

    I feel the weight of the world on my shoulder
    As I'm gettin' older, y'all, people gets colder
    Most of us only care about money makin'
    Selfishness got us followin' our wrong direction
    Wrong information always shown by the media
    Negative images is the main criteria
    Infecting the young minds faster than bacteria
    Kids wanna act like what they see in the cinema
    Yo', whatever happened to the values of humanity
    Whatever happened to the fairness in equality
    Instead in spreading love we spreading animosity
    Lack of understanding, leading lives away from unity
    That's the reason why sometimes I'm feelin' under
    That's the reason why sometimes I'm feelin' down
    There's no wonder why sometimes I'm feelin' under
    Gotta keep my faith alive till love is found

    People killin', people dyin'
    Children hurt and you hear them cryin'
    Can you practice what you preach
    And would you turn the other cheek

    Father, Father, Father help us
    Send us some guidance from above
    'Cause people got me, got me questionin'
    Where is the love (Love)

    Dear all,
    My heel spurs have kept me from the typical jogging to maintain good health. Now I just checked my blood pressure and it was 158 over 94. I'm slightly concerned and curious as to what natural things I could do to help bring it down. I have been taking 81 mg aspirin regimen each day. thanks friends

    Here and now reading about elephants. Thought you might be touched by this story as I was. All the best.

    Wild elephants gather inexplicably, mourn death of "Elephant Whisperer"
    Author and legendary conservationist Lawrence Anthony died March 7. His family tells of a solemn procession on March 10 that defies human explanation


    Elephants gathering at the Anthony home (Photo courtesy of the Anthony family)

    For 12 hours, two herds of wild South African elephants slowly made their way through the Zululand bush until they reached the house of late author Lawrence Anthony, the conservationist who saved their lives.

    The formerly violent, rogue elephants, destined to be shot a few years ago as pests, were rescued and rehabilitated by Anthony, who had grown up in the bush and was known as the “Elephant Whisperer.”

    For two days the herds loitered at Anthony’s rural compound on the vast Thula Thula game reserve in the South African KwaZulu – to say good-bye to the man they loved. But how did they know he had died March 7?

    A large glass of orange or grapefruit juice might temporarily lower your BP.
    The spur can be treated with injections, my husband has one, and every 6 months he injects himself, right into the foot
    It hurts a bit, but then he can walk again the next day.

    Mojo, marjoram essential oil is a vasodilator, which causes the veins to widen a bit, and that lowers BP. Be sure to get the essential oil that carries a botanical name ... Origanum Marjorana.
    Blend it in vegetable or nut oil, PM me if you want directions on how much. Here's a web page with more info. http://www.essentialoils.co.za/essen...s/marjoram.htm

    Immediately reduce your salt intake and increase water drinking. Start to chow down on Banana's and whatever to increase your potassium - look around for ways of increasing magnesium as well.

    Essentially: you most likely need to ensure you balance the sodium salts with potassium and magnesium salts.

    The basis for this advice is as follows:

    When I was applying for residency Mr and Mrs Anchor had to take medical tests. We both had issues, but hers was that her blood pressure was rated (OMFG!!!!) over (Call an ambulance-- you are going to blow up!!!) which as you can imagine is too high for anyone - especially the General Medical Examiner of Australia.

    So naturally frustrated but characteristically unconcerned we sought referral to a specialist. He did tests and confirmed the high BP, and also confirmed that no damage and she was completely asymptomatic.

    He was almost rubbing his hands in glee at the idea of a new convert to big pharma's latest and greatest blood pressure meds, but my wife let him know, in no uncertain terms, that she would resolve the problem herself and his services would only be needed to confirm this had been done to the Australian Government.

    Well she did some research and found out about the electrolyte imbalance caused by more sodium than the other two other metals in the salt intake is a prime cause of hypertension. Immediately we took action...

    Interestingly Finland government know about this and mandated that there is always salt available in the shops that are balanced WRT to Na/Mg and K salts - and the results speak for themselves. They are the only country to do this I think.

    Most westerners have too much NaCl salt (common table salt) and the salt in processed food. So the expedient thing to do is reduce the salt. Once these main electrolytes balance out, unless there are other things wrong (which I understand are testable - and you probably should consult an expert) the problem should go away.

    Mrs A was withing safe limits within TWO weeks!

    I had to buy a sphygmomanometer and a stethoscope and learn how to use it to do proper BP readings - that was fun (not!) -easier to use than spell once you get the hang of it.

    The cheeky GP even tried to imply that it was in someway illegal for me to do this as I was not trained - jokers.


    Nuff said.

    Quote Proves that the majority of cases of stroke, heart attack, and hypertension can easily be prevented by maintaining the proper ratio of potassium to sodium in the diet.

    • Updated with scientific evidence from a recent Finnish study showing a 60 percent decline in deaths attributed to strokes and heart attacks.

    • Provides a comprehensive program for balancing body chemistry at the cellular level.

    High blood pressure is entirely preventable, without reliance on synthetic drugs. Dr. Moore's approach is simple: by maintaining the proper ratio of potassium to sodium in the diet, blood pressure can be regulated at the cellular level, preventing the development of hypertension and the high incidence of strokes and heart attacks associated with it. Dr. Moore updates this edition with a new preface reporting on the latest scientific research in support of his program. The most striking results come from Finland, where for several decades sodium chloride has been replaced nationwide with a commercial sodium/potassium mixture, resulting in a 60 percent decline nationwide in deaths attributed to strokes and heart attacks. Extrapolated to America, the Finnish statistics would mean 360,000 strokes prevented and 96,000 lives saved every year.

    THE ALIGNMENT IS COMING ...LOL







    There is actually no Astrological (or Astronomical) confirmation that this alignment will or can happen on May 20, 2012.

    There cannot be an exact alignment with the Pleiades and there could never be an alignment with the Galactic Center on that date at all.

    There is a New Moon (Solar Eclipse) on May 20. This Solar/Lunar alignment is located near to an alignment with the position in space for the Pleiades (which are about 430 Light Years from Earth). However, the Pleiades cluster is about 5 Degrees above the Ecliptic so there is no direct alignment of the Sun, Moon or Earth with them whatsoever.

    Yes, there is a seeming ordering or arrangement between this star cluster and the Sun and Moon, (and this can happen quite regularly from year to year), but there can be no exact alignment.

    The Center of the Milky Way Galaxy is approximately 27,000 Light Years from our Sun (and Earth) and is located in the Equatorial Coordinate System as: Right Ascension: 17h45m40.04s, Declination: -29° 00′ 28.1″. This puts it zodiacally near to the very end of Sagittarius, which the Sun will seemingly pass in front of (in our era) around December 18 or so every year.

    The “alignment” of the Sun, Earth or Moon with the Center of the Milky Way Galaxy can only happen 2 times per year, around December 18 and June 18, give or take a day (given our irregular calendar system, leap year and all).

    Relative to the Galactic Plane, the Solar System is not in perfect alignment with the Center of the Galaxy and we are presently about 5 degrees off from being in the Central plane, which means perhaps as much as 80 Light Years away.

    As we revolve around the Galactic Center, (we are in the “Orion Arm” and it takes perhaps as much as 235 million years to make one turn), the Sun and Earth weave up and down within the Galactic Plane.

    We are now most definitely above (or you could argue below) the plane and so there is no possibility of an exact alignment with what is at the center of our galaxy whatsoever.

    On May 20, there cannot be any alignment with the Galactic Center since that will occur on or about June 18.
