Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

I have noticed that a lot of us experience similar physical symptoms, or emotional-spiritual issues are up for us, at pretty much the same times. I love spotting these patterns, as I talk with many Starseeds in my life.

I shall post in this thread the patterns I am noticing in the folks I know, and we can compare notes !!!

This week it's a dry cough. I have found one other person so far with this. I know it is throat chakra clearing, I can feel the energy pulsations and waves involved in the releases. And it is not associated with any illness or other symptoms, though the coughing is making my throat sore !!!

Anyone else here going through that right now? Normally two of us doesn't lead to me conclude it's a pattern, but in this case, I think I am right.

AFFLICTIONS

This is what I call a persistent long-term physical problem. One we've had for years and years, and done every physical thing we can, and done healing healing healing, dozens of techniques, we know all the issues involved in the problem. AND IT IS STILL WITH US.

We often get discouraged, but then again we have hope. We don't really understand why we have this affliction, and I am using the term not to say we are victims, or that we are all actively suffering, the term simply describes a long-term suffering that doesn't heal easily. Some afflictions are milder than others.

I will talk in a future post about my understanding the reasons and purposes for these afflictions, And I hope others will, too.

The thing is, I have NEVER met a Lightworker or Starseed person who did NOT have an affliction. It can be psoriasis, or arthritis, or a bum knee that goes out, or a touchy digestive system, or a chronically painful ankle, or …..

These afflictions are NOT what we have talked about (in some posts I can't seem to locate right now) as the physical experiences associated with being a starseed, liking ringing in the ears, etc. These afflictions are real diagnosable physical problems with physical damage involved.

Anyone here an exception to the rule? Anyone resonate with what I am saying?

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

**raising hand**

Yes, I am experiencing that right now! Yes, it has probably been almost a week now! Amazing, how did you know? LOL :-D

I remember the post you're referring to…as we were discussing a clearing of the chakras…at the time it was the ears and wrist/hand!!!
When it happened, it was so weird that I KNEW it had something to do with being cleared or upgraded or rewired.

It's a weird kind of cough too…my throat doesn't particularly hurt…at times, there's almost a …spasm in my diaphragm which makes me cough…and then it's just that one cough :-D
But I'm pretty good with all things eliminatory :-D My body is very efficient ;-)

Looking forward to further posts and info and sharing~~~<3

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

Aha, how delightful to find another current cougher, though of course I am sorry for any discomfort !!!!

In conversation with the OTHER one these points came up:

It is IMO important to NOT take anything to eliminate the symptom. The physical act is serving a purpose, and you want that purpose to be accomplished and finished, I would imagine !!!

I know what you mean about the cough reaching down to the diaphragm. That's REALLY deep clearing !!

I would take, like a homeopathic remedy for dry cough enough to prevent collateral damage, like a really sore throat from the irritation of coughing.

To hasten the process of clearing, I would INTEND CLEARING with every cough. This has marvelous effects, in my experience. If it turns into a retching cough, I let it. I really let my body cough as hard as it wants to. This brings a feeling of space and satisfaction, afterward.

I might hasten to add that there is a respiratory infection going around that is called a “bad cold” by many but is actually caused not by a virus, but by a newly-discovered (20 years ago) life-form called a mycoplasma. The hallmarks of this infection are, in addition to all the usual cold symptoms, a very persistent cough so hard your chest and bronchial muscles end up sore and achy, extreme bone-deep fatigue, and a 6-8 week recovery period. If your cough is associated with these, do an internet search for mycoplasmas, and read up.

For myself and a couple of friends, we have found that 3 herbs I read about on the Internet work wonders: Neem leaf, Olive leaf extract, and Uva Ursi. Nature's Way brand, I take. 2 3X a day is a heavy dose. It even helps the fatigue. This is not medical advice, just what I read somewhere and what I do.

So you need to discern whether your cough seems out of nowhere and associated with nothing else, or whether it is part of the mycoplasma infection pattern.

Thanks for the memory jog, Resurrected1. If any of us find that long list of “Starseed” symptoms contributed by several folks, please post the link here !!!! They were, we agreed, indications of, as you say, being upgraded or cleared or rewired, or at least communicated with !!!

Blessings, OM Bastet

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

Thank You for the concern, Vector =)

I agree with not taking anything to alleviate (as that never Eliminates) problems or symptoms. I have known and practiced this since being incarnated here on Earth ;-)

If you ever see me take an aspirin, you should know that I must've really hit a critical point of a lot of pain…but I hardly do that either. I prefer to delve into the symptom to the root of the issue.

I don't understand people these days…how they run to pop a pill for every little thing. Makes me sick…no, wait…it makes Them sick. :-D

Here's something else going on….umm…how can I say this in a “correct” manner…???
Uhh…I am Eliminating more than I am taking in. :-D
So this is Clearly another Cleansing Process…I feel we ought to expect more of these… there are more unnecessary elements that we are shedding in preparation…Our bodies are becoming Lighter in density and many more ways.

LOL, as far as your herbal recommendations, Thank You…but I guess I already have that covered, as I eat LOTS of black olives and LOTS of grapes :-D Yummy ;-)

…more to be revealed
Much Love~~~<3

PS: I am writing this for the 2nd time, because as soon as I typed in that I don't run to pills, my PC started a shutdown process!!! (ah, them crazy Indigos, LOL)

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

 This has been going on for maybe two months: Sharp painful headache on the top right side of my head. It doesn't last long but fades in and out. Only the right side. No other symptoms.

When I do intuitive healings for others I often cough during a session. It seems a great release for the other person. Seems stuck energy often needs a little physical force to pry it loose.

As for affliction-mine has been depression. Currently in remission :)

Be Blessed~Melynnda

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

Hey everyone,

I had that cough thing going on too but is was the week before. And I like the rest of you never take any type of medicine unless I am absolutely miserable. I stopped taking stuff years ago. It seems I can't even take Sudafed because it makes my heart race and feel like it's going to jump out of my chest!

I've been tired but attribute that to my not going to bed until midnight everynight and getting up at 5:45 a.m. everyday. I'm one of those that needs an 8 hour/night and I haven't gotten that kind of sleep in years it seems.

My affliction is my gallbladder. As Louise Hays puts it, I must not have enough “sweetness” in my life. But some of my symptoms are related to being Lactose Intolerant. I'm just so darn sensitive to so many things that I have to be very careful what I eat.

As far as the “eliminating” thing. I like to do cleanses in the fall and spring and take colon cleanses with Bentonite in them. The one I'm currently taking is called Renew for Women. Very good and gentle. Sorry if I'm embarrassing anyone :) But I know what you mean about getting much “lighter”. Since I started doing those the last couple of years I never feel heavy even if I do have the extra weight around my middle.

As far as taking other pills, I don't even take an aspirin either unless I have one of those backaches from hell.  Those are related to my spine and having that transitional vertebrae. I prefer to stick out most pain until it goes away. I just don't like to put anything in my system that is not natural….except for maybe junk food on occasion and I know all about how bad that is and how full much of it is filled with MSG and other additives but convenience sometimes wins out when you are very busy and on the run most of the time.

When that cough thing starts happening too bad, I just suck on some hard peppermint candy. Wakes you up too!

I also have problems with my Sciatic Nerve but do stretching to relieve that discomfort. As far as the ringing in the ears, I've been experiencing that a lot more lately and am thinking it must be related to spirit trying to get my attention. I've been very busy lately and figure I've been not paying very close attention and spirit is telling me I need to get back into the swing of things.

No emotional things except for feeling a little bit more crabby lately but figure that is just the lack of sleep and my intolerance for society a lot these days…..that's that Indigo part of me going on. I'm having a really tough time with that because I know I'm supposed to be loving all my neighbors and everyone but that doesn't mean I have to love their actions! So that is what I need to work on….more tolerance! It's hard when I go around treating everyone nicely and have good manners and they don't seem to have the same upbringing or even care. Our world is full of lots of selfish people. I try to make sure that I teach my children to be nice no matter what anyway. I just hope one of these days those  that are so rude wake up and realize they need to treat others with respect back. I'm praying it happens soon! You've gotta have faith.

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

Hello!

I happened to see that Melynnda had posted and followed the link here.  As for me the list is long.  I had above average health until about age 30 and then was challenged.  I have the phoenix rising as my icon for a reason.  It seems that Scorpios have a propensity for being on of the healthiest sun signs, but also to rise out of the ashes should aliments occur.  For me this is the case as I have been challenged with primarily auto immune disorders.  Spent my career in the health care field and was exposed to just about everything on the planet.

I notice that I am much more sensitive to everything than most people that I meet.

I began practicing alternative/integrative medicine in 1992 when I found that traditional allopathic medicine was “killing” me.

Sounds dramatic I know, but such was the case.

Health to us all!

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

Vewwwy intewesting !!!! Thanks for all the shares !!!!!

I too eschew pills, though I take some vitamins and herbs fairly often, but a fraction of the number I used to. And the dosages are totally intuitive each time. I turn my body loose and tip the bottle and take however many come out, whether it's none or 3 times my usual dose. Anything pharmaceutical is poison, so I have to be in dire straits, like with an extreme bladder infection, before I take anything. When I'm very sick, and in pain, I might take willow bark tea rather than aspirin. Still makes my ears ring the way aspirin does.

My afflictions are a digestive system that is fussy, was born that way, and for 17 years, post-menopause, chronic bladder inflammation, pain, and frequent infections. Bio-identical hormones are helping tremendously. Also, prone to sciatica, yes, but I think that is an upgrade and therefore temporary phenomenon.

Sharp pains top right of head, no other symptoms. Let me brainstorm about that (mind, not intuition.) On the physical level, could be neck vertebrae out of alignment. Could be spasm or clot of blood vessel in scalp. Could be some other nerve thing not assoc. with the vertebrae. Oh, I just realized, how interesting, I get those in my LEFT EYE now and then. Incredible stabbing pain, incapacitating for a few seconds it lasts. No other symptoms, and infrequent. Hmmmm.

On the non-physical level, could be psychic attack. Could be residual in etheric body of past-life trauma. Could be “ship” surgeons “working” on you – beneficial or malevolent in intention.
 
Assume by “stabbing” you mean sharp searing pain that seems to have some “length” to it across your scalp” or is it going INTO your head?

Do any of those brainstorm possibilities resonate? Oh, and do you feel fear or just “ho hum” while it is happening?

I have been told that a lot of “work” – remedial and upgrading –  is done on our physical bodies but we don't feel all the accompanying physical-plane discomfort usually, as there is “anaesthesia” administered on the energy level. I have actually experienced that, and sometimes I ask for (and get) a higher dose of it, haha !!!!!

Thanks again for the shares. It is soooo helpful to compare notes.

Blessings, OM Bastet

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

I don't have any other complaints or physical concerns really. I do have a transitional vertebrae and scoliosis but my neck and spine feel great most of the time. I use a number of healing modalities, acupuncture-reiki-Quantum touch-and I have had some Barbara Brennen (Hands of Light) healing recently.
The pain is sharp, does not fluctuate, and last 20-30 seconds.It's not deep. Afterward it leaves a dull ache.
I USE protection-LOL- that is psychic protection. I don't feel any fear, only annoyance. Intuitively I think it has to do with a rewire of my brain. I am just curious if anyone else is having anything similar….(your eye pain sounds like it is).

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

Sinuses! Which seem to affect my vision as often I feel like i'm looking at the world through the wrong end of binoculars. I also have digestive issues and have to be careful what I put into the system….I'm a culinary canary in a mine. Since I went on a major cleanse several years ago and eat pretty good now, I haven't had the serious digestive problems that plagued me through childhood and early adulthood. My body forces me to care for it , which I'm thankful for as I rarely go to doctors, (except for oriental docs). The human body is a funny thing.

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

Okay, guys and gals…I want to share something that's been happening in the last 3 days…

I'd be in the process of typing on my computer and then….
The screen would fade to black and say….

PREPARING TO STAND BY

I mean, I know it does this after 20 minutes of NOT touching the PC…but I'd be typing!!!
Is that a Message or what!!! LOL :-D

Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing computer issues or if just me and more crazy Indigo stuff :-D

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

…love the little heads Res …
    …the one you chose on your last post is illustrateing what I have felt …

  …I always have advance warning …meaning I *know * a day or so in advance that I will be getting an upgrade…I'm always in a safe place…the last time I was home mowing the lawn… my vision will feel like my eyes are going back and forth Very fast…I'll just sit down and thank the technitions for this service and meditate for a few minutes…then it clears up… I can feel the gentle spiraling upwards…and am thankful for All those that are behind us…

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

Hey, Res, I got that one, one day! blew my socks off! Nothing recently, via computer…

But I've had a VERY spacey feeling, lately ~not in this world~ feeling, and…

dunno. no words.

I'm happy to be in good company!

namaste,

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

Hi again!

Will, for me it feels like Vertigo! That and a Definite SHIFT.
Ananda, cool! LOL :-D Though I'm pretty used to all sorts of weird electrical activity…that one was cute, LOL :-D What with all the wondering around here about What to do and feeling like we're on call…yep, we're on Standby all right! I haven't gotten it at all today…but constantly in the last 3 days (man, was that annoying, I thought I'd lost my work!)

While I was reading Orion's Blog about ORMUS, my PC said PREPARING TO SHUT DOWN….dangit, that always happens when something really interesting is happening!!! :-D

Ohhhhh….I also wanted to affirm that digestive affliction! Family Legend has it that I died (Resurrected One, remember? LOL) from something gastrointestinal. Drives my family crazy that I hardly eat…they say I eat by osmosis. :-D Hahahhaaha :-D

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

Hey everyone.

awhile back I had this eye twitching thing going on too. And pains in my temples. My vision seems to flucuate too but I thought that was just a blood sugar thing. Maybe it's just getting older :)

Glynnda, I know what you mean about putting the right things in your body. I think as we all get older we can't tolerate things the way we used to be able to so it's our bodies way of telling us we need to treat it better.

Also probably has to do with the way our diets will be changing in the future. I think we are getting prepared. I know most of things I used to eat, I don't even like anymore.

Isn't it funny how we all are so sensitive to everything and have fussy digestive symptoms? Just confirmation that we are all in “sync” with each other as Starseeds.

Will, that is amazing that you know in advance when you are going to get an upgrade. I usually only figure it out when something starts happening. That is when I start asking myself, this must be some new ascension symptoms I bet ….^j^

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

…I don't know about anyone else…but my allergies have have started to become horrific…
  …seems like I really didn't have them at all untill I started waking up…about 9 years now…

  …I deal with them with a variety of herbs…nettles is one…and bee pollin…among other things…

  …it seems I *came in* with a cast iron stomach…built for survival…and a hollow leg as a teenager…I could eat my weight in spagetti and still weigh in at 135…gone are those days !…
  …my metabolism is slowing down Big Time…I seem now to be able to get by on less and less…
  …I have a strong health system otherwise…only get sick like clockwork twice a year…when the weather changes from cold to warm and verse visa…

  …Love to all you sisters…
                        …thank you for Being…

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

Wow, makes me grateful for all the body and computer things I DON”T have !!!! LOL !!!!

That rapid side-to-side eye movement is called nystagmus, and is a common accompaniment to dizziness, or a kind of dizziness. I don't think I have it, but when “they” are working on my eyes, relaxing the tension/dissolving old energy patterns in physical eyes and 3rd eye, I get a kind of pressure, very fine vibration, almost implosion feeling in my eyes, inner and outer.

I don't have advance warning of upgrades, but they are timed pretty well wrt the rest of my activities. Some last longer than others, from seconds to years, haha.

I think the eating-food-digestive systems thing is interesting. I feel that many of us will become “breatharians” or more precisely, we will be “chi-arians.” And even more precisely speaking we'll be maintaining our bodies on physical AND chi levels from even higher-vibe energies than chi-level. This is part of my “knowing.” It's called physical ascension, in some perspectives…..

And immune systems, aka allergy-factories :)), that's interesting. The regular immune system is built on danger-harm-enemy principles. That's intrinsic to its nature. We are moving out of that reality. At least as judgments. But there is still a compatibility issue, and certain things will not be compatible with our body's vibrations, our individual unique body's makeup. Those will be matters of preference, of optimization, not of judgment or harm-danger-enemy. The immune system can seek-and-destroy pathogens, and process toxins, as incompatibilities, rather than as judged-bad stuff. An interesting shift; maybe the functions won't change, but the vibes will.

Might be interesting to look at what is happening with allergies from that viewpoint. The body is over-reacting to something normally harmless, either because the body is a battle-fatigued soldier gone bonkers and doing a “friendly-fire” thing from having had to deal with long-term unremitting challenges, OR the body is saying “Hey, I can no longer tolerate, at my present level of vibration, this substance.” Of course, if you live around said substance, such as pollen, it's kinda hard to tell the body to stop complaining !!!!

Will, I do think you could ask for your body to be altered such that you would not have any effect from allergens that presently bother you? (Asking for a reduction of overt symptoms leaves the door open to long-term subliminal damage.) What do you think about trying that? “There is no order of difficulty in miracles.”

Thanks to everyone for sharing!!!!  Isn't it nice to share about these intimate things with folks who are not coming from the medical model, and not even coming from only an alternative-health model. Perspective beyond our doctors, beyond our naturopaths or homeopaths, and beyond our friends' sympathies. “I'm lovin' it !!!”

Blessings, OM Bastet

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

Hey!

check out Karen Bishops post on the latest ascension symptoms. My aunt sent me this week's latest. Some interesting stuff on there.

I also wanted to mention that Ronna Herman has a very interesting Archangel Michael message for the month of May too. I will put that link on the “mission” page.

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

Glynnda just started this thread about some pretty intense “symptoms of the week,” which at least 3 others are experiencing, too.

I do think there are there waves of energy available to everyone on the planet who cares to take advantage of them, and the waves are pretty specific as to the issues they are healing/upgrades they are offering. And each wave only lasts a small amount of time, maybe a week or two, in my experience.

Blessings, OM Bastet

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

OM-
This tread has helped me cope with physical inconviences. Knowing its just a flow of energy and not something going “wrong” really helps. That others are experiencing the same symptoms- Wow! I have the dry cough too! It started about April 29.

Another side to aliments- has anyone experienced healing something for another person? It has spontaneously happened that I have taken on the symptoms of someone else's ailment and lived with it untill my body healed it. I usually get a telephone call or unexplained thank you card in the mail sometime afterwards. Does this resonnate with anyone?

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

Hi Joy…

I don't take on their ailment but when I am caring for someone who is ill, once they are better, I get an energetic illness as my body transmutes the energy I took on in healing. I once ran a fever for seven months after caring for someone who was very ill. it was my first experience with how my healing system works. I ran to several docs who couldn't find anything wrong with me besides the fever that knocked me out. I finaly decided to try a chinese doc and with acupunture and herbs I was fine in a couple of weeks. He explained I was highly sensitive and my Chi was out of whack from the experience. Now I know to go to a chinese docs whenever I get weird symptoms. Of course, I know I need to figure out how NOT to hold on to these illness energies but so far, that's the way my system works. If anyone knows of a way that I don't have to go through this process, I'd love to hear because I'm going through it again now that my mother is recovering from her stroke. Went to the chinese doc today because I've been having trouble breathing and feel like energy is stuck in my heart chakra. Really knocks me out for a bit.

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

Fabulous topic, classic and common issue for healers and empaths. I have been dealing with it in myself and others for years. I can't say I have an immediate 100% solution, either !!!!!

 My advice to the healers/empaths, which I am unable to fully implement in myself, haha, is that “taking on” to one's own detriment reflects an ILLUSION that the empath/healer CAN “heal” the other's problem by taking it on. It appears that is sometimes accomplished, but at what cost !!!??

My recommendation is that we treat the appearance of not-our-stuff in ourselves as INFORMATION, and when we notice it, say (in our own terminology) OK God, I get the message, this is up for wholing, and I NOW GIVE IT TO WHATEVER BEINGS  are better-equipped than I to “heal/whole” it.
 
There are almost always such Beings available. I am rarely the best one in the universe to be helpful re that particular energy pattern.
 
Also, we can set the intention that the particular problematical energy pattern not get further into us than our aura. Not affect our chi nor our physical bodies. That intention WILL be carried out. We are able to sense what is impinging on our auras, so there really is no loss of INFORMATION, which is generally all we need.

This is the difference between psychic healing and spiritual healing. In psychic healing, the healer merges energy fields on pretty much all levels, even physical and chi, with the healee, and in spiritual healing, the healer is a conduit to and from HIGHER energy Beings, forces, patterns. I myself save merging for folks who I WANT to merge with, like beloveds. Merging as beneficial and pleasant and uplifting to BOTH parties.

That said, we do what we do, and sometimes we don't have a clue, and we do what is ours to do, whether it's comfortable or not. So ultimately, All is Good. I do think we get to express our preferences though, and I think if we are suffering there is something for US to heal in our SELVES, and when that is done, we are no longer in need of taking on that energy pattern for anyone else. More sophisticated-Beings are better equipped, generally.

AND OTOH, my own higher selves are as sophisticated as anyone else, so who knows. Everything I have just said could be BS. I guess we all get to choose our reality, and that's that.

Hope these perspectives are helpful at all….

Oh, and it is always wise to get help on the physical-chi level (as Glynnda is doing) for anything uncomfortable or unpleasant, to support the body. Holistic !!!! Work on EVERY level all at the same time.

Namaste, OM Bastet

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

Thanks OM and Glynnda

your posts are very helpful, especially about if one is suffering then it indicates something in ones self that needs healing. I find this is very true for me. Infact i seem attracted to pray for those i witness suffering who have at root a similar issue as myself that causes the suffering. And then in a sense it's a two for one because whoever i pray for gets the healing attention of the higher being who is also healing me! This being i call my Teacher has been with me for i don't know how long!  Mostly though as OM said i just go and do and don't have a clue.

The advice about a chi check is good….it's been a long time.

Glynnda, wishing you and your mom well.
joy

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

Hey everyone,

When I do my Reiki, after I do all of my hand positions, I wave the negative/blocked energy away from them and me and then close their energy fields off at the end of the session with a figure 8 pattern. Then I brush my hands together like I'm brushing dust/dirt off of my hands. After that I go and wash my hands very thoroughly. I don't have any problem picking up any of their “stuff”. I tend to be very energized afterwards and can't sleep/will stay up half the night or at least go home and burn out lights. I think it's really important to brush this “stuff” away. Sometimes I pick up stuff at work if I don't consciously remind myself  to close my energy fields off. It also helps to go and touch or hug a tree after doing some healing work as the trees will help us reground ourselves and take up and absorb those energies. Otherwise, I'd recommend doing a smudging afterwards. Use a feather to wave it around you. Or burn some clarifying incense. I like Dragonsblood. I use that for protection throughout my house as well. I will even put those incense sticks around the frames of my doors. Try doing the “waving” and the “brushing” off methods during your healings and see if it helps. I bet you will notice a difference.

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

Excellent tips, Teri, many thanks !!!

 I am in my third day of “truck ran over me” aching all over, feeling grumpy too so I am pretty sure it's a detox, and I am pretty sure it is physical-emotional old stuff leaving. I think for me it's around issues of being willing to feel good and be healthy, shifting my habits of Being, my self-image, on those issues which are very central for me.

Anyone else??

I am not sick, not flu. Just sore throat and achiness and grumpiness, typical liver detox/overload symptoms….

Namaste, OM Bastet

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

Hi Om,

I'm not feeling sick but have been feeling tired, achy and grumpy too. Probably has to do with the lack of sleep I'm getting these days. The aches I think are from being on the computer too much at work and all the reading I've been doing.  I have those pains in the back of my neck and shoulders like I'm taking on the weight of the world.  All these tragedies happening. And I've been so tired I can't even spell lately. I think there is a lot going on with the world events and how it's affecting a lot of people. I've had to deal with tons of crabby people at work too. Much like there is a full moon.

It's so sad all the events. I wonder if something else major is going to happen next? I hate to put the thoughts/suggestions into the ethers but you know how things happen in 3's?

Thanks for your heads up on my suggestions above! I've got to get going now but I am going to post some interesting stuff on the number three and the trinity I found the other day. I have it saved on my email but will need to pull it and submit it on another night. It's getting late and my son has homework to do so we better head home and take care of that.

Namaste everyone! You are all in my thoughts and prayers!

Teri

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

…I have been feeling very strong (except for some allergies)…I always thank Father and Mother for my strength and dirrect angels to distribute it amongst you…and others…

  …driving home today (friday 200 mile trip) I kept getting disturbing thougths that were not my own…first I ask…what's going on ?…then I'm shown that these are thougths of others and I am dirrected to ask for transmutation…which I do…

  …our job sometimes is to send the healing where we sense it is needed…

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

Hello everyone,

Just wanted to share some info regarding the symptoms of the week, etc.

My aunt called my mother the other day and told her she woke up one morning and her face was drooping on one side when she looked in the mirror. Not sure if anyone has ever heard or experienced this sort of thing but the affliction is called Bell's Palsy. This happened to one of my co workers several years ago too. The condition is almost always cured after several weeks but what happens is that a person might experience a really sharp pain in one of their ears before it happens. This is followed by the face feeling numb/swollen and it can droop on one side. According to my aunt, this is something that is happening to a lot of lightworkers. I'll cross my fingers it doesn't happen to any of us. But I guess it has something to do with the upgrading/rewiring we are receiving. So just wanted to pass this info. Let's all pray it doesn't happen to any of us. At least we all know if it were to happen that almost every case is cleared up in about 3 weeks and the face goes back to normal. 

Teri 

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

Hi Teri!

So sorry that people you know are being afflicted with Bell's Palsy. It's a mild stroke in actuality. My mom had one and my sister had one when giving birth. It's stress related, so I advise us all to take it easy and not get stressed out. Do lots of cleansing and meditating and Releasing.

With plenty of facial exercise, it Can get back to normal…however my sister still retains some slight drooping.

It's funny that you would mention this…I've had thoughts…just random thoughts about that lately! Bell's Palsy has been heavy on my mind and I couldn't figure out why….Hmm…
All the best to your aunt and friends…make sure they're doing those exercises!

In my corner of reality, my 'symptoms of the week' is that I've become more ambedextrous!
I've actually always been sort of Quadridextrous (use my feet ALOT to pick things up or move things, LOL)…but I've surprised myself lately with the ease with which I can do things simultaneously with both hands!!! I can eat with my left hand now without spilling anything. It feels quite natural, LOL. Haven't tried to write yet, but I'm sure it's not bad, LOL.

:-D WooHoo :-D

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

Thanks Resurrected!

I thought it was interesting that you were thinking about Bell's Palsy lately.  I know that one should never give any thoughts too much power but that has always been one of my fears so I try not to think about it too much. I guess I would have to say that it wouldn't bother me too much if it happened to me as long as I had the ability to stay home and out of the public eye until it cleared up (I'm so vain and working on that fault) but since I have to face the public on a daily basis, it would be a hard thing to deal with. I feel so bad when I see people with physical afflictions and deformities coming into where I work. But I also have to remind myself that we all choose hard lessons to teach ourselves humility and other people tolerance and compassion. So I could see why one would be tested. It's a shame that so much of the people of the world are not that nice to people who look and act differently but I do think this is getting better. I think people are starting to get more tolerant and compassionate and that gives me hope for the earth when I start getting frustrated with all of the selfish people that are out there. I know someone said on one of the other posts that they didn't feel the world needed to be “fixed” but I disagree. I think there are a lot of things that need to change in people's attitudes before we move into the “New Earth”.  Too many people have not cared for too long and that is why the Earth is in need of so much “cleansing”. Mostly the way people have abused the environment.  There is also the greed and the materialism and the selfishness. I think the majority of humans have good hearts but they have forgotten that we need to take care of our earth and others instead of focusing so much on themselves.

Interesting though that the Bell's Palsy is happening to lots of Lightworkers though from what my aunt said. I think most of us Lightworkers are not as stressed as the average human. I know my aunt isn't and I am not either. The only thing I ever worry about is getting to work on time and even then I don't rush as I always get there when I'm supposed to get there no matter what. Like the Native American Population has said: I will arrive when all of the elements are right and I am supposed to. I use that philosophy in everything I do and I don't get stressed. The only thing I really have to work on is getting more sleep.

As far as being more ambidextrious, I have found that I have been better at that too the last several months but I thought it had to do with all of the gardening I was doing, I'm getting better.

Teri

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

It is very interesting that a couple of you have mentioned ambidexterity!  I am right handed, and I have always used my left hand a bit more than the average righty might.  Yet, since the beginning of this year, it seems to be increasing.  There are certain activities that I even find myself favoring my left hand in (I have started to favor my left hand while driving, for instance).  I can relate to the use of feet as well, haha!  However, it's rather remarkable that several of us seem to be experiencing a variety of ambidextrous leanings, so to speak.  Thank you for sharing!

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

I know what you mean about the toes!  I've always been able to pick things up with my toes and always figured I was just part monkey!

I'm a “righty” but have almost always driven with my left hand. My son writes with both hands and has been able to do that ever since I can remember. I really think computers has helped us become more able to use both hands. I also have carpal tunnel and it is worse in my right hand so I've taught myself to mouse with the left when it gets bad.

Teri

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

Can't say I have noticed any increase in ambidextrousness, but I have always used my toes a lot….. Will be alert for that. I would say it's a sign of brain hemispheres getting into more balance and alignment, which is highly conducive to higher states of awareness !!!!

interesting about Bell's Palsy. The enlightened (IMO) master Adyashanti (website I think is adyashanti.org) recently had it, too, and I thought they said in the website it was a virus !!!!

I will double-check on the psychological meaning. I have a friend who has left Louise Hay in the dust with his analyses of physical conditions….

What I am going through is aching all over, and the many-months-long energy-ache in my knees is getting much worse, of which I am glad, because my hips ached like this for several years in the late 80's and finally finished their transmutation, and I think the increase in pain is a sign of nearing finish. There feels like no physical correlate at all for the pain, and it's in my legs as well. But I do have trouble bending down and getting up. And can no longer kneel….

And some emotional turmoil, letting go of several really deep illusions….

And every day, more joy, more expansiveness about life, more lightness and optimism….

Blessings, and gratitude for all the sharings here,
OM Bastet

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

Question for you all-I had lots more energy during the last Mercury Retrograde (May 26-June 19). 
Any of you notice a drop in energy the last week?
Any Astrologists want to comment from a starseed point of view.

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

Hi, Podbuddies.  I have been away for a while because of school, work, and family activities, but have felt a need to reconnect.  I'm so glad I did, too.  Things always happen at the right time.

I wish I had more time right now to read all of the posts!  I'll try to do that tonight.

Someone might have already mentioned this, and if you did, my apologies for repeating.

Ever since Saturday morning I have been irritable, tired (I'm always tired, but lately am more so), cranky, angry, fussy, impatient, frustrated, and generally “uncomfortable in my skin.”  Not sleeping well.  I feel overwhelmed by noise and activity.  Chest feels tight.  Body aches.  I called a perfect stranger an “effing” idiot the other day, and that's sooooo not like me.  I just couldn't help it!  I want to quit my job, end all relationships, and hide under the bed.  If I had a weapon, I'd probably use it (not really, but that's how I feel).

This follows a Friday night Solstice gathering that I had at my home.  Great folks, loving energy, fabulous circle time.  One friend, with whom I channel on a regular basis, did some energy work on me late Friday.  I could feel it running through my head.  Not sure whether there's a connection to that, although it sure is coincidental. 

A couple of weeks ago, I had some food poisoning-like symptoms and went to the doctor.  Tests galore, including CBC, urine, enzymes, liver function, etc.  Even had a scan to see whether it was gallbladder.  Everything was perfect except for lipase.  The low end of the “normal” scale is 16.  Mine was 3.  My doctor said it wasn't anything to be concerned about.

So, my health is perfect, but I feel crummy.

Anyone else have anything similar?

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

Hi Melynnda, can't say I have noticed any big fluctuations in intensity of energy coming in. The content of what it does, varies, and this morning I posted a blog about the latest, or one of the latest topics – letting go of knowing in favor of Truth. It can be captured partly by the bumper sticker going around: Don't believe everything you think.  

Karen, welcome back, I missed you !!

I have some OPINIONS about some things you said, and just offer them as possibilities to consider.

I don't think your “health is perfect.” Firstly, because medical tests are extremely limited in their ability to assess what is going on in a body. Second, a low lipase level is not part of perfect health. It means without supplemental lipase, you are not digesting fats and oils properly. This puts you at risk for colo-rectal cancer, and also can create toxicity from the undigested fats and oils. Irritability and “incomfortable in my skin” and achiness are symptoms of liver toxin-overload !!!

Another possibility which you alluded to is that you have picked up some low-vibration energies at the gathering. This is highly likely, as your symptom picture also fits that pretty well.

An energy cleanse would be in order, and being sure (this is my advice) to not resist any of the negativity you are experiencing, not judge it, just let it pass through you like a wave. Even thinking you have to “fix” anything is a way of holding on/resisting (which is a kind of holding on.) I think just breathing and re-focusing on what you want in life will hasten the moving through of the wave.

If you learn something about your own unresolved shadows in the process, great. If you get more chance to practice unconditional self-love, great, If you get more practice in discerning what is or is not “yours,” great. There is a purpose to this experience, after all. Just asking to harvest the wisdom of it, allows it to complete its purpose and therefore dissolve and leave you.
 
Have you turned inside to find out what the “food-poisoning-type symptoms” were about? That could have been a clearing of some old toxic energy patterns from body-mind. The current bout is probably that too, the physical triggers being incidental and not a real “cause.”

I would venture to say most of the physical problems most of us are experiencing these days are not problems or degenerative processes, but reflect energy upgrades, clearings and cleansings. We need to support our bodies, and give what is needed on the physical level, but not give the body the extra burden of regarding it as sick or defective !!!

If you feel crummy, you feel crummy, regardless of your very limited doctor's perspective. It is apparently your concern, and not his. LOL !!!! For him to say it nothing for YOU to be concerned about just because HIS limited information about you can't find anything wrong within his limited scope of knowledge, is IMO actually irresponsible. A more responsible response would be “I've reached my limits on this matter. You are of course welcome to pursue other ways of finding out what is going on for/with you.”

You can know what is going on, just open to that part of the Living Truth !!!

Thass my two cents, my approach, my speculations !!! FWIW !!!!!

Thanks for all the sharing on this thread !!!!

In the Love We Are,
OM Bastet

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

Thank you, Obee-one-vee-three.  Good info, and some of it does resonate.  I had considered some of the things you brought up.  The “food poisoning” type thing felt more like toxicity than it did a cleansing.  Lots of pain, too. 

I wondered about the lipase.  I did research, but nothing I read indicated any major problems.  The ultrasound didn't show any problems with the pancreas, and all other pancreatic and liver enzymes were within “normal” levels.  Still, I am concerned.  Probably need to see a naturopathic doc.  I just have a feeling that “something isn't right.”  Gut feeling (pun intended).

Interestingly, I am craving low-fat (but high sugar) foods.  So, my body is probably telling me to lay off the fat.  Would that low lipase level have anything to do with an inability to lose weight?  After all, if my body can't process the fat that I've been working on shedding (and failing at doing so), it might not have any place to go. 

There have been lots of lessons lately, so that feels right.  Just trying to be in a place of acceptance, which isn't easy right now.  Thanks for the reminder to stop judging it.  I'm really good at the self judgment. 

Guess I'll get some dried hibiscus flowers and start making tea to cleanse the liver.  My salivary glands are already smarting at the thought!  :-)

How's everyone else doing?  I know that the 25th was the beginning of another planetary shift.  Supposed to be a new vibration kicking in.  I wondered whether some of the symptoms we've all described have anything to do with that?

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

Well, Karen, that's a new and clever honorific !! I admire the language play !! and am honored !!

I would have expected you to do some research, that's admirable !!!

I have zip idea about what would produce a low lipase level in a body, but I would say that something about your whole ability to digest certain foods is deranged, and the lipase level is probably just part of a larger picture of derangement, and that larger picture is probably including an inability to lose weight. So related in that way.

Sugar cravings have many causes, adrenal stress foremost among them, I think. Most women crave fat and sugar, preferably in the same food, and that has to do with the derangement-imbalance of reproductive hormones that is epidemic among us.

I'm surprised if research on lipase didn't turn up the fact that undigested fats and oils sitting in the colon (sitting, which is why fiber helps) is a prime risk factor for colo-rectal cancer.

Yeah, it's very hard to distinguish toxic overload from toxin cleansing, while you're in it. I don't have any clear ideas on that yet. Afterward, though, the clue is whether you feel better than before, or slightly worse than before ! And of course if you are actively doing a cleansing, then you know from within at the time !!

I haven't heard of hibiscus to cleanse liver. I know dandelion tea, and chlorophyll (spirulina is VERY potent, need caution in using it.) And of course the oil and lemon routine. My body absolutely cannot tolerate that !!!! The liver according to my research uses only two nutrients: vitamin C and protein. So liver support (not = cleansing) is mainly those. Well-digested protein, though: chewed thoroughly, and maybe with betaine hydrochloride or other enzyme supplement. Any other acid taken with protein – as is commonly done – inhibits protein digestion !

It helps me get to acceptance if I accept my non-acceptance. No kidding. It doesn't matter what is going on in the form, as long as where I am standing is in my Beingness. Then the form shifts to reflect more of the ultimate Truth. Beingness is whatever is, no matter how much we might think of it as reflecting “separation.” That's just an illusion. These are the insights (cellular and mental) I am getting these days. It's never either-or. It's always both-and. Accept EVERYTHING that is.

Yeah, who else is going through these things? Even yesterday I had a digestive upset for no or very little reason.

25th a new level huh? Feels like every day is a new level these days !!!! Do you know any particulars about this one?

Wishing you the best at tracking down the “something isn't right.” Let us know.

Blessings abounding,

OM Bastet

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

Hello Sisters and Brothers~~<3

Well, in my little sphere, I am very much feeling (sounds like you guys/gals are too) what is mentioned in the newest Energy Alert. I am also curious about the 25th (which was my b'day). This Alert was posted on the 23rd.

Symptom-wise…Am feeling verrrrrrrrrrry Heavy!!! As if I'd been swimming in the ocean all day and finally got out, ya know? And also feeling very dry & dehydrated too. And definitely Achy all over. (but my shoulders and neck and not my back as mentioned in the Alert)

Wish I had something to contribute to the lipase situation…my dad used to take some homeopathic mixture made from the Aloe plant for his liver, that's all I know :-D (all my 'medical' training went into short term memory, since that was never my purpose and I never agreed with anything, LOL)

Blessings and Strength All~~<3

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

Hi All…

I just returned from 10 days in Boulder and Steamboat Springs. Went to the LOHAS conference in Boulder. It was amazing to be around so many conscious people committed to doing good in the world.

I was wondering if any of you had this feeling of “everything coming to a head.” I have a lot of circumstances that have been floating around for a while, both good and bad, finally hitting the wall. I've been feeling like I'm about to shift from one life to another. Or one frequency to another and that i's about to happen soon. Anyone else?

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

OOOOHHHHH, YYYYEEEEAAAAHHHH.  Without a doubt, Glynnda. 

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

I forgot to ask – anyone having any memory problems?  Normal things like – how to tie your shoe?????  This has been going on for about a week for me.  Ugh!

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

Everything mentioned is familiar to me. Feeling heavy is generally in my personal experience and observations a precursor to feeling lighter – that “out of gravity” feeling. Achy is body-energy patterns shifting, and dry-dehydrated is the same thing, the “burning” of lower vibes.

And yes, Karen, it's so amusing but startling to suddenly become aware one doesn't know how to do something as simple as tying shoes. It's been happening to me more lately, too, but also for a long time. This is IMO because our identities are expanding to our non-physical selves, which is where our primary identity will reside, and that self indeed does not know how to navigate in physical reality. The human self, the positive mature ego, that's its function, its area of expertise. So the forgetting will not continue to be a problem; it's a transition thing. Sometimes I'll be going down the street and in an instant realize I don't know what planet I am on or what I am doing !!!! But I remember, the next instant !!!

Today I had an overwhelming experience that made me weep for some time. While out walking at twilight in the warmest evening air yet, I had a thought and cellular-energy experience-feeling that deluged through me: I am not here on this planet to correct, to fix, to rescue, to teach. I am here because I am totally in love and adoration of this planet herself. Even as I write these words I begin to weep again. It's a GOOD feeling. I might teach or correct, but I am not invested or attached, as I realize “All is well.” Mostly I am here to express and radiate this overwhelming LOVE for this planet – and all her life-forms and all of her matter. Such a simple thing. THAT, I can do. With every step, with every breath. The rest is less important.

Maybe that's part of things coming to a head, Glynnda. Such a feeling is not surprising. I too feel that some culmination, some quantum leap, is quite imminent or has begun. I am spending a lot of downtime, and feeling more strongly than ever that my inner transmutation is the more important thing on my agenda, my To Do list, right now. That's challenging for the Responsible Ego !!!

Yep, one life to another. I'm so glad you are all my companions available in this quantum leap !!

Envy you going to the LOHAS conference, Glynnda. Many other Starseeds there, do you think?

Blessings to All, and thanks for the Shout, Will, you are treasured.
OM Bastet

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

Been obsessing all night about the need to clarify the term “envy.”

IMO

Envy says “Me as well as you.” “Me AND you.” Jealousy says “Me and not you.” “Me instead of you.”

So, to me, envy is not a negative emotion at all, just a statement of desire, wish, longing, intention.
 
Just a shorter way of saying “Gee I would have loved to be there, too !!”

Hope that forestalls any misinterpretations of what I meant.

In the Love We Are, OM Bastet

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

Hey everyone,

don't have much time to respond but did want to add my two cents about cleansing:

Sugar cravings can be related to parasites or excess yeast in the body so I recommend doing a cleanse that will get rid of those sorts of things. The cleanse I take I think is one of the best, it's called Renew for Women. 30 day supply and it removes not only toxins but also parasites and all sorts of yucky stuff like yeast, etc. Renew also has Bentonite in it. Bentonite is a volcanic clay but it absorbs all the stuff that's stuck on the intestinal walls and pulls it out too. Your sugar cravings will stop. It has so many good things in the cleanse, all sorts of things to not only purify the blood, kidneys, etc. Please make sure you follow directions though and take it with food as it can be hard on your stomach if taken on an empty stomach. Here is just one link with information about it. A good buy would be anything around 30.00 or less for a 30 day supply. Check different websites for more prices. This is just the first one I could find. http://www.goddess-within.com/10441.html

I buy it locally and it is worth the 30.00 I pay. Sometimes I can get it for 25.00 but have seen it some places for even 20.00. Well worth the .50 cents to dollar a day price. You will feel so much better after you use it. It is a pretty gentle cleanse. Start it on a Friday night with dinner and by Sunday, you will be feeling better already and it will be manageable enough come the work week. You won't be stuck near a toilet all weekend either but will have an increase in going so be somewhat prepared. The Bentonite is a very important ingredient so make sure if you can't find the Renew to try something else with Bentonite if you can. You can also take a liquid form of Bentonite but you have to drink lots of water if you do it that way so I recommend the capsule program instead. Still have to drink with a glass of water either way.

As far as that lack of memory symptom someone mentioned. I have had that scattered brain syndrome thing going on for a long time. Can't even remember words I use everyday so just call everything that “thing” when I'm telling kids to pick stuff up, etc. I also tend to think one word and spit out something else for example, I want to say rake but will say shovel instead, etc. Weird, I know. Even my 15 year old is having that same problem. My biggest thing lately has been staying up even later than usual. I don't get to bed until midnight, sometimes 1 a.m. and get up at 6 a.m. the next day. I still have brain fog but have lots of physical energy so has to be some type of upgrade. I haven't had much time to research anything or read much lately to check out the latest energy alerts or anything but that is what I'm experiencing.

By the way guys, Renew also has a program for Men too. I recommend it to everyone.

Teri

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

Thanks Teri!
Someone recently asked me about a cleanse, and I was going to ask you about one for men and then saw at the end you mentioned they also make Renew for men.
Most excellent…I will recommend this to him…Thanks a bunch.
May even try it myself…maybe, LOL..

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

…thanks for the Renew link ,Teri and Dream chaser…

   …so I'm not the only one suffering from CRS…can't remember stuff…LOL…


  …and Om…
             …In La'kesh…
                          …”I am another yourself”…

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

Speaking of CRS, (haha thanks for that Will) yes, of course, parasites and candida are also foremost amongs causes of sugar cravings. thanks Teri for bringing that up.

I have experienced longterm, studied, and written about these beasties. One thing to note is you are never “cleansed” once and for all. They come back on a moment's notice. Need ways to discover your levels, and deal quickly.

And I mis-spoke. It's STARCH and fat combo that women crave, not sugar and fat, though of course starch is sugar eventually.

Thanks for the info about a particular effective cleanse, Teri. My favorite thing for yeast is Mycopryl from Thorne Labs (in natural pharmacies and some supplement stores, not common) and for parasites, Zymex II from Standard Process Labs, Inc. ditto availability. Many naturopathic physicians carry both in their own “pharmacies.” With a parasite cleanse, taking a few bites of protein every 2 hours (day and night if possible) during the cleanse helps speed the process up HUGELY.

For a body that's very delicate, sensitive, or way down, cleansing more than one organ at a time might be too much. Check out Dr. Richard Schulze (www.herbdoc.com or www.dr-schulze.com ) on the Internet for info about best order of cleansing various organs, and his programs are terrific, I believe.

Bentonite is so useful I think we should all keep it on hand….. Powder for baths, liquid for ingesting, with caution. It is clay after all, and can stop you up if not used properly.

Blessings,
the other YOU,
OM Bastet

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

Hello everyone,

Yes that Bentonite is the best, good for detoxing in bath's as well like OM said. And yes, you have to definitely drink lots of water if you are ingesting it as it will stop you up.  Other good things to detox with in the bath are Sea Salts or even Epsom salts…not sure if they are supposed to be one and the same or not. Dead Sea Salts are even better if you can get a hold of some. We must not forget that detoxing can come in many forms. They even have those patches out now but I haven't tried them. I have seen people do the Detox Foot Bathes though…yuck!! Hard to believe we can carry all that stuff in our bodies.

Even regular looflah scrubbing can help a lot too. Try it dry before you get in the shower or bath and it is twice as effective. I've also tried some seaweed soaks too. I bought one up at the Kohler Water Spa and use it once in awhile. Expensive though so they Epsom is the least expensive route. Make sure if you use it you follow your bath/soak with a shower afterwards or it will dry your skin out.

As far as the Bentonite goes. The indigenous people used to eat dirt and things of that sort to help cleanse their symptoms…not recommending anyone eat any dirt anywhere nowadays with all the pesticides, fertilizers, etc but I bet you can find info on the internet about what and why they did in the past. They were much smarter than we are nowadays but they also didn't eat any fast food or food that had additives, preservatives, etc. Just fresh natural foods.

I find the older I get, the more I want to eat healthy….not to mention my body rejects a lot these days….can't keep eating things that I used to like things fried in any grease. My gallbladder doesn't like it. Too many years of abuse. So now I choose foods that are much better for me.

Nature always has a way of letting us know what's wrong for us.

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

Will – what's CRS? 

Obee (glad you enjoyed the word play.  One of my favorite activities):  Hybiscus flower tea is very good for cleansing kidneys and liver.  It has to be the real thing, though.  It helped me through a bout of gallbladder a few years ago (along with unfiltered apple cider).  Use a handful of the dried flowers, steep in hot water for about 20 minutes, remove flowers, add stevia or honey (or you will not have happy tastebuds).  It's good hot or cold.  Several cups per day for a couple of days.  It's really quite tasty.  Mexican restaurants carry a diluted version of it, called Jamaica (huh-MI-cah).  I wouldn't use that for medicinal purposes, though.  Good with burritos (yes, I eat burritos once in a while – with all of the artery-hardening goodness that they can carry).

Thanks so much for the feedback and support.  I've just got to appreciate the Universe for providing me with so many opportunities to look at myself.  Friday night I discovered that the energy work of the previous Friday did have something to do with my crankiness.  It was intended, too, thank the gods and angels.  It brought up a lot of inner toxicity that I'd pushed down since I was five years old!  I'd learned to “manage” my “negative” emotions.  I think, finally, they just had to surface.  I got in touch with some very important inner goo that I didn't realize was hanging around.  Thanking the gods and angels for loving partners who are willing to walk into the lion's den when their mates are growly.  Open arms and a listening ear were also quite helpful in overcoming self-recrimination following my discovery of my Evil Twin Down Under.  I sure do love that man!

Reconnecting with my Starseed podbuddies was very helpful, too.  Community rocks!  You help to remind me of the things I need to remember.

Blessings to all.

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

Wow, thanks Teri and Karen, such valuable sharings. Karen, what a giant leap forward for you !! I'm so glad !!!

I will answer about CRS, it's from Will's post above: Can't Remember Stuff. I've started calling it the CRS Syndrome. Always makes me smile and feel better about having it !!! LOL !!!

For me it feels as if there is noticeably more freedom and peace every day. I get new ways of Being, each day, about old troublesome matters. The external is holding steady, but also I can see improvement, when I am not in a cup-half-empty mood.

The best change is letting go go go more more more of the Rescuer Trip, which plagues most of us Starseeds…..

Blessings, OM Bastet

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

There is an opposite to CRS, though.  CFST (can't forget stupid things).  That's almost as challenging……

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

Hey everyone,

Just wanted to add my recommendation of the unfiltered apple cider for the gallbladder as well. Unfiltered is definitely the best, it dissolves gallstones. You can still use regular apple cider though in a pinch, even that will help a little. Kind of like Cranberry Juice for your Kidneys and Bladder. The apple cider works so well. When things start getting bad for me, I’ll drink whatever kind I can find. Another person I know was told she was going to have to have surgery to remove her gallstones and she drank the unfiltered apple cider by the gallons. She went back to the doctors and they couldn’t explain what happened. They would never admit something homepathic would work…..:) But it did.

Teri

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

What's REALLY challenging, Karen, is when we have BOTH going on !!! ROTFL !!!!!

How much unfiltered apple cider vinegar, Teri, and how often, and how do you know when you're done? Thanks for the tip. I have also heard that chamomile tea will dissolve gallstones. It beats me why anyone would have their whole valuable gallbladder removed surgically when stones are so relatively easy to dissolve. I have even blasted some to smithereens through energy work !!

Ditto kidney stones, of course. I forget what, but they can be dissolved. And, of course, prevented….. such simple knowledge, so rarely known. But hey, that's why we're here, right? One thing we can help with, anyway.

Finding the Buddha smile more often on my face, and brain changes continuing, and today lots of fear leaving my belly. Living in fear is no way to live; gotta find a better alternative, like living in The Highest Truths.

Blessings to all,
OM Bastet

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

…Can't Remember Stuff is the polite way to say it…among a coarser croud the S is sometimes the four letter word that implies exrement…Stuff is acceptable for most public use…

…Love to you All…I keep you all in my prayers…

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

Hey everyone,

There really isn't a set amount of the unfiltered apple cider that I drink on a daily basis or anything, more like when I know my gallbladder is starting to act up, I buy it and drink at least a glass everyday until the symptoms relax (or drink it anytime just because I like it). I have heard that is is okay to drink it by the gallons though if a severe attack is coming on or symptoms are not going away. Of course, you should always listen to your intuition and go to the doctor if you are in extreme pain. I'd hate for someone to rely entirely on what I say and have something bad happen as a result.

My one friend who was supposed to have the emergency surgery, said she had the severe attack and her friend told her to drink about a gallon of it and that is what helped her. I don't think it would hurt to drink it in moderation every day if one wanted to as even a preventive measure. If your stomach starts getting too acidic, I'd back off for awhile. I just buy it whenever I'm craving it or am starting to get severe symptoms. Like if I ate a really high fat or greasy dinner and I start having symptoms, then I'll go out and buy it.

Usually when I am starting to get more symptoms, I usually know because I start getting sick (reflux) in the middle of the night when I'm sleeping. If I get that, it is a good sign that things are not working properly…and I need to modify my diet and drink some of that. I also tend to avoid things that are too high in acidity, too many tomatoes or orange juice and almost never drink soda. I love tomatoes and citrus fruit so if I start eating too much of any of that, usually my body tells me it's too acidic first by getting cold sores in my mouth, followed by the gallstone symptoms. I eat a lot of Italian and Mexican food so eat a lot of tomato products so if I overdo I can always tell.

Hope this helps, Karen do you have any other comments or suggestions about your experiences with the unfiltered apple cider?

And we are not talking about the apple cider vinegar that is highly recommended by health experts, I don't know very much about that except it also is suppose to flush the body and even help in weight loss but that I am not very familiar with, that might be too strong to take on a daily basis but I'd research it out. It might be safe in tablet form but as far as taking large quantities I don't know.

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

Hi there.  This is all very nifty info!  I'm so glad I reconnected.  I sure have missed everyone.  Hmmmm…..community is a gift I must give to myself more often.

Just had time to read through the entire thread.  Are we all having fun, yet?

Grumpy, irritable, cranky, sore this and that, gallbladder, liver toxicity, fatigue – sounds like good ol' USA living to me!  ;-)

Forgive, please, for not recalling names:

Following energy work – waving energy away and closing the field definitely makes a difference for me!  Also, I set a light circle around the event, person, place, myself, whatever, and envision any unhelpful energies being moved out of the space, and once anything else unhelpful can't come in.  I'm specific about how I phrase the intention – I used to invoke “highest and best good for all,” but sometimes that can backfire.  I also don't engage with the energy.  Energy is only energy.  It has no mind or will of its own.  It responds to whatever is directing it.  So, I simply direct it back to Source to be transmuted and transformed into its original Divine template.  That way, it's not flopping around in the ethers.  Washing hands – also a must before and after.  Salt baths are good; plain old showers work, too.  Use some baking soda in your wash water.  Makes your skin soft, too.

Saging works, Nag Champa is a fav (mostly because I like the fragrance).  Sea salt in the corners of all rooms and at all doorways and windows, or around the perimeter of a building, is very helpful for blocking unwelcome visitors.

Regarding the gallbladder – a friend of mine is a fabulous massage therapist.  She uses some Young Living essential oils when working with gallbladder, and massages the liver in a clockwise motion (facing the client), gently but firmly pushing material out.  I've done it to myself a couple of times, and can actually feel the liver and gallbladder expel toxins.  You can hear it, too.  Gurggles. 

The unfiltered cider vinegar contains malic acid, which is the mechanism that dissolves the gall stones and sludge.  Anything containing malic acid will work, including tart apples (you'll get good fiber to move the toxins out, too).  I just drink it when I feel the gallbladder “congestion” coming on, and it works well.  I like to warm it up.  A couple of 8-oz glasses per day seems to work.  Another thing that helps is milk thistle, and pectin is a good assist (all the more reason to eat jam on your crumpets).  Good way to get pectin is to eat tart apples, and the white pith around oranges, although bitter, is a good source of pectin.  Pectin is good for keeping cholesterol down, too.  Gall stones are cholesterol gone amok.  Control your cholesterol, and you'll control your gallbladder. 

I'm going to do that Renew for Women cleanse in August.  I'm doing it in conjunction with some soul retrieval work.  I have a phone appointment with a very gifted shaman who specializes in finding one's old “contracts,” and helping to re-write them and retrieve the parts of the soul that were sent away as a result of the contracts.  Seems to be a good time to do all of that.  Thanks for the recommendation.  I'd been wanting to do a cleanse, but was concerned about the, er, bottom effects.

Well, gotta get back to it!

More later!

Love and snugs, Karen

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

Karen-Please expound on your comment

        “”highest and best good for all,” but sometimes that can backfire”

Love Abounds, Melynnda

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

Hi, Melynnda.  Sorry it took so long to respond – was studying for a final. 

Perhaps “backfire” isn't the right word – more like unintended consequences.  There have been occasions when “highest and best good for all” was a little broad for the moment.  Sometimes, I've found that it's best to focus on one aspect of the healing, primarily because the person I'm working with isn't ready to deal with some of the changes that can occur as a result of a shift. 

It could be argued that Spirit has a bigger idea, and that this would be highest and best, and that the lesson is intended.  However, the person or persons involved aren't necessarily ready to deal with it.  It overwhelms and shuts them down.  I try to work it through with them, but I'm not a trained therapist.  It doesn't happen often, but it has happened on occasion.

I'm still working on the intention and languaging part of the process. 

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

Very worthwhile to ponder these matters. Good points, Karen. I believe everything is always for the highest and best good, namely, the awakening and expanding of our consciousness and more opportunity to Be the Love We Are. So I don't feel a need to specify that.

More to the point is the “lower good.” While I believe our job as healers and teachers is not to please the personality of the folks we help, I am empathetic to those who don't want to cause distress for the personality.

The way I cover it is to declare that the beneficial results of the healings are “in full ecological balance with the thriving and flourishing of the life, health, wealth, and well-being of all concerned.” Then if their Spirit decides to make them uncomfortable, that's THEIR choice, I didn't intend it, though it might happen as a result of the healing that flows through me.
 
What do you think about that approach?

I've given my views on this and related things about healing in my blog here. I would love more comments and feedback and helpful input from any of you folks here.

Blessings, OM Bastet

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

…is it the Highest good to that caterpillar that it desolves and is no more ?…

  …kinda the end of the world for the caterpillar…
                                                              …but the birth of the butterfly…
   …what the US is going through with the banks and morgage industry  right now is painful…and it will be painfull for the total collapse of the economy…but bandaids might only delay the inevitable…


  …an interesting fact about metamorphasis…the dna of the caterpillar totally disolves…and bears no resemblance to the dna of the butterfly…

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

Will, you just blew my mind to smithereens. The DNA of the caterpillar is totally different from the DNA of the butterfly?????? How can that BE???!!!! Gonna have to research THAT one. Beyond my present ability !!!!!!! wow !!!!!!!! I knew the caterpillar dissolves to like bioplasma, but I assumed the progression was DNA-controlled. Wow !!!!!

Hey, Friends, speaking of Symptoms of the Week, along with the usual stuff, tonight I got hit with a wave of real shaky weakness, a new one for me. Lasted almost an hour. Could have been a recent not-terribly close encounter with an energy vampire but it didn't feel as if I were drained, just weak and shaky and vibrating significantly, like a changeover of energies. Anyone else had anything like that? Legs especially.

Blessings, OM Bastet

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

Hey everyone!

My mother has been feeling very weak lately and I was very sick the other night but that had to do with that gallbladder of mine and so I started drinking more apple cider…and it seems to be getting better. The other thing I noticed as far as symptoms lately is pain to my tensor muscles in the back of my neck. Like muscle spasms. That is one of the centers we are supposed to be awakening….part of our metamorphis into new beings.

I read something I believe on Rother's channel about the new sexual energy and us picking up more light from our lower bases and moving it up our bodies. I've noticed some of that too. Lots of talk also lately about the 8/8/8 and then the 9/9/9 next year.

As far as what you mentioned Will about the total change in DNA. We may be surprised to find that we end up being nothing like we thought we would. Picture us more translucent even if you will. Definitely more luminous. Another interesting thing I read was about the Alpaca's. Funny thing was I just read that today and over this last weekend went to a county fair where there were some Alpaca's and when I was looking at them, one tried to stick it's nose out of the cage/enclosure and touch me. I thought he was going to give me a kiss!

I'll try to send the article. Have it at my work computer email address so will forward it onto my yahoo account and try to send it to you all some time this week. It was very interesting!!!

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

Does anyone have experiences, currently or in the past, of a “dark night of the soul?”

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

This is interesting to me based on what “W/we'er” experiencing today, for some of us, than some of us are familiar, while why “we're” in this position that's a mystery to some, of well, a very amazing circumstance.  I don't know another human being who is more capable than Being Person, is there is some help needed!  But please, don't throw the whole kit and caboodle, it's sorta a matter of a balance of the circumstance.  

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

Hello Friends,
I am new to this pod and appreciate your acceptance here.
The energy shifts have been more physically challanging for some more than others.
I have friends that are experiencing severe anxiety symptoms with the shifts.  These shifts are not just these big dates.  The settling into the vibration takes some time. The birthing of the energy can be painful for the body.  The “Dark Night of the Soul” has a meaning to the soul experiencing it.  Perhaps there are general understandings.  I refer to this as the Abyss which is deep within and everytime a Human being touches it in their pysche, ego resists, mind resists and the illusion of fear is created over and over.  This is the Death of what we believe we are and who we are. There are depths to this process and the vibrational shifts with acceptance is creating more consciousness to trigger this pain.

This is how I have experienced it with myself and others.  I have guided people through this process when they trust it.  This is not something we need to do alone. 

You are welcome to email me if you like to clarify. I will if I am able to.
Blessings.
LeAnn

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

Hey everyone!

I read your description on your other post Om and I'm still not sure I understand what the definitition is of the dark night of the soul. Are we talking the death of the Ego? I have experienced that but also have experienced a feeling of despair in recent months where I just felt like all of my efforts have been futile. Like I wasn't sure why I was trying so hard because I felt entirely disappointed that things just hadn't measured up to what I thought I should be feeling/experiencing at this point. Is that what you are speaking of? I also felt like everything that I thought to be true was still not enough as I had only felt like I had barely touched the surface of everything I was to be learning. That made me feel that perhaps I didn't really know anything at all. Now I just feel like I need to just let go and let the process take me whereever I need to be. No rush, no anticipation, just being…..is that what you are speaking of and if so, I think I'm still feeling that way as I feel stuck….like I do not know which way to turn or proceed and feel extremely homesick for the other side or my home planet whichever/wherever that may be…..

Teri

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

Hello Teri,

You seem to be describing the energy shifts with the ascension process here.
Abyss either brings severe panic, anxiety, fear, depression, tears, sadness, sorrow as the DNA does release the old as well as ego's defenses to keep from dying with tremendous Apathy.  There has been for many a feeling of not knowing how to BE in this new vibration as the ways are completely different and what worked beautifully does not work now. 
Being in new energy has to be felt and experienced like getting into the water a little bit at a time or just simply diving in and adjusting.  Not exactly the perfect way to describe it because there is no perfect. 

Many complain of the working and working with not much results.  Time is not real in this vibration.  You feel stuck and that is okay too.  Allowing and accepting here in this energy is felt and it is very different.  There are symptoms of letting go of the way things were and getting use to the new vibration as it IS. 

I have found that it is very helpful to stay present in this energy and with others who understand this vibration and the vibrational shifts to assist in reminding that all is well.
It is similar to the birthing process and a coach, loved one, friend, staying present at times to remind one that love, joy and peace is the natural state. Fear is an illusion.  This can feel very weird because there are circumstances all around and fear promoted which is not part of this vibration.  Those are when you light has dimmed.  You are still very much loved and not alone. You are still beautiful, vibrant and ALIVE. You are LOVE!  Feel it and notice when you need some assistance.  That is what we are here for.  We are in it together as United in bringing forth vibrational shifts to bring the changes.  We start with self.  It feels like an Abyss sometimes and is very dark, lonely, stuck, no way out, no where to turn and these are LIES.  We are here with you.

Much Love Teri
LeAnn

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

…Dark Night of the Soul…

  …just after I started awakening at a rapid pace about 9 years ago…many things all happened at once…including our house burning down…
  …I think the dark night of the soul is a transitional test …that once you have made a comitment to start your path,you are tested…your angelic support is pulled away and Spirit sees if you are really serious…you feel alone and weak and vulnerable…you are pulling yourself up by your bootstraps…you find the strength within yourself to make it to the dawn…support is not really gone just seemingly beyond your reach…once Spirit is convinced of your comitment then the energy floods back in…
  …sometimes a plateau of sorts is reached and a lesser DNoTS occurs…but by now you know the signs and know what to expect…you *KNOW* that what lies ahead is even greater than what you are experiencing now !…

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

And there are many other experiences which have brought me and others through the process as well.  Assistance is pulled with your agreement.  You go as fast or slow as you choose.  You are always capable and we are coming together now to assist here on Earth.  Suffering is not always the way.  I have experienced this as you describe Will for a very long time too, many years and also some are moving through quicker with more clarity and less pain.  The pain is occuring too.  It is to become more parental with self as Will describes here.  You will feel abandoned.  Very deep stuff to experience.

Much Love and Light
LeAnn 

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

I am in a huge rush and can only say a few words right now. Teri your description was absolutely awesome, similar to mine down to a T. Everything others said was helpful.

Yes yes and yes. I can only speak for myself, but it has been all about letting go of my expectations (= attachments) of what I will KNOW, what I will ACCOMPLISH, what I will BE LIKE, what GOD or the higher realms are like, what the “help” will be like, etc. ALL EXPECTATIONS. They are nothing but LIMITATIONS.

Exactly as you said, the solution is to trust the process. I can be most effective in this mission if I don't try to push the river in the directions my human self has become attached to. Letting go of it ALL, that is a dark night indeed, but the abandonment and self-doubt are only illusions (and tests, yes, in some ways. Self-doubt is one of the ultimate experiences within the Dark of illusion of separation.)

I still have some resentment about being a vastly under-utilized resource, but I am able to distance from that.

All attachments are sabotage and contaminants of our effectiveness, and MUST be released before we can be fully utilized, can fully flower in our purpose. And the releasing is PART of the process.

So, yes, breathe, do everything recommended, breathe, and trust. Even this, is part of the Divine Process.

Speaking for myself, anyway. Hope it helps. Glad to hear what others say about it.

In the Love We Are,
OM Bastet

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

Thank you OM Bast
Yes, there are attachment you describe for yourself that are mine too to let go of.
Allow the flow and releasing.
Blessings
LeAnn

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

…dearest OM…
  …do not feel resentment…
     …you are of more use to Spirit than you realise…your presence on this world is felt and needed…there is much more than the conscious level…

  …feeling underused is not a Dark Night…more like a dim afternoon…

  …sometimes I feel like I am bursting at the seams…wanting to shout out what I *know* to all that are within shouting distance…the truth is no one will hear what they are not ready to learn…and sometime our presence alone is enough to tip the scales…sometimes more is heard in the silence…

  …anyway…I am glad that you are here !…

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

Thanks so much to all of you. Currently, I feel trapped between worlds. Almost a ghost. I seem to have passed beyond my old life and everything I was there (including work), but have not fully arrived in my new world. (whatever that is). Symptomatically, I have't been able to return to my old business and the financial security it brought. My inability as an intelligent, experienced professional, to maintain a stable income is definitely the flash point of this experience, the thing that is getting my full attention. I used to follow my spiritual side for months at a time, then return to always find work…build up the coffers, then fly off again to learn and cultuivate my spirit. I was full of light and fairy energy at this time and felt a profound connection to guides and destiny. A couple of years ago, I felt my guides leave and slowly the light drained from me. At the same time, my usual ability to attract what I needed left as well. Though recently, with much gratitude, I feel a reconnection to my spirit, I'm still trapped between worlds, struggling to completely leave behind the old skin. But, it's like I'm alone in a desert. I hear voices from the other side but can't see them or feel them.

I'm just not sure if it's me creating the blocks to moving forward (karma, ancestral patterns, my own patterns), or if it's just that the time has not arrived yet and I'm waiting on the departure deck too early. Either way, it's a struggle, a crisis and a study in fear. (Maybe I'm just crazy and all of this has been a delusion). Still, I feel that once I get through this…when I get through this, I will have opened up a channel for others to follow, hopefully so that their journey through the desert won't be quite as long, solitary or dark.

Thanks. All these posts have helped immensely. I'll keep you apprised of the impending dawn.

Much love and light.

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

Dearest Glynnda,

You describe what I have experienced and refer to as the “Birthing” new energies.  In a time when there is great pain, fear, letting go, releasing and opening.  When present with the process and allowing it.  As I read your entry here tears flowed like a soft gentle stream from joy and acceptance.  What beauty for you to share this deep experience here.  Experience one does alone, perhaps with others present or not, it is alone, feeling all alone, as Love is present still always, this is experienced alone.

Beautiful Glynnda, you describe this experience clearly.  Thank you

Yesterday, like some others days for my lifetime, since age 7, I have cried deeply, through Heart with the Human Beings here.  Being present in the pain with others all over the world.  I feel this deeply and could not be free to share this with the anyone.  Not even my closes family members.  I was the sensitive little weird girl.  I felt another such deep Heart opening yesterday as the world pain poured out through me as I am all and all is me.  We are One.  Compassion.  I sat alone.  No one to tell.  No one to share with as this is the vibration new with possibities and I do it for me and everyone.  I use to open for everyone, the world, and now I include myself here too.  This has been painful as I let go of assisting others in transmuting their energies and holding more light to assist here.  Staying silent and watching, being present in Love here, hoping with others, as I do when I assist women giving birth, they must do it and I Love.  You, Glynnda know what I mean.

Welcome.  What we knew, what we did, how we did it, has changed.  Fear comes up with change, we accept it, feel it, experience it, allow it, are patient with it, relax in it, flow, adapt and grow, then we do it again and again.  No delusions and yet it can feel that way.

Thank you for opening a space for us all  here.

I appreciate you.

Love and Light Through Heart

LeAnn

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

Thanks, LeAnn.

Yes. As many in this pod, I have been the caretaker, the guide, the teacher for all around me throughout my life. That's why I believe this is particularly hard for me and others like me who pass through this experience. How can I teach, guide, be who I feel I am when I am struggling myself. When I don't believe it myself anymore. And no one around me can help, even though they try. They simply do not understand the complexities of the experience. They only can perceive it from a 3D world view.

So what I am slowly learning is that for now at least, I must release my patterned cords to helping others and simply BE with myself. Teach and guide myself as I have done with others. Hold my energy in so I can be responsible for myself. This is a time of personal responsibility and in building the strength and wisdom that comes with developing that powerful sense of self and freedom. I feel that once I have passed through this stage and have reached the next level…(God hear this!)…on my own…with support, but ON MY OWN, I will then be prepared to truly guide people more profoundly and honestly into the future.

This is a very hard lesson. Sometimes its easier to assist others than ourselves. And maybe we escape into that pattern of caretaker to avoid some of out deepest truths. But, this is the time for truth. And even though it gets clouded by fear, it is still truth.

Three days ago I decided to try an experiment. I'm beginning with one week and assessing each week after that. Trying to raise my vibration, I am eating raw foods and will not drain my energy on fear or anger or other people's dramas. At the same time I will hold my spiritual focus, chant, pray and BE with myself. I figure no matter what is going on in or around me, I can hold this frequency through intent and discipline for one week. Then, the rest of my life begins from there.

Away we go…

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

Amen
We are ONE!

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

…we are wayshowers…
   …and each represent a specific frequency that keys in with others behind us…
…we are like a line of molecules on the edge of a knife blade cutting the veil so that others may have an opening…

  …we were prepared for this job …and if you think it is hard for us…imagine what it is like for others…


  …stay strong…

  …gather strength from others like us…we are brothers and sisters and are meant to share our strength…

  …and never feel alone !…

 …when you feel a lack of connection with teachers and guides,this is an indication of needing to dig in and connect with our own strength…the lack is an illusion and they are still right there…like when a parent lets go so that a child can take a first step…they are still there…
  …this is all a part of the program…


    …Love and Strength to you all…

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

I don't even know were to begin with the symptoms for me as this week has been overwhelming. I had trouble with all of my senses this week , I became weak, I saw a bus going so fast , and hit a car, I decided , I needed to slow down like the bus.
I have had symtoms in my womenly area which I have had an ultar sound for.
I have had symtoms of writing , and writing like there is know tomorrow.
I have had symptoms of taking care of my own rights, and standing up for them.
This is all I can think of right now.
Wow , I hope next week slows down, so I have less symptoms.
Oh yes I have had symptoms of spreading love.
Love to you all,

Loriann

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

We are all right on track, as far as I can see. It appears to me we are only days or weeks away from needing to have our personal vibrations as high as possible, and be strong within ourselves, and as healthy as can be, and each of us is preparing in our own way.

Interestingly enough, I have been craving, physically craving, classical music, for its benevolence, I was given to understand.

And interestingly enough, I too had a pelvic ultrasound very recently, and oddly enough even while it was going on, it actually felt healing, not just diagnostic. I think now that the discomfort has faded, which took over a week, I do feel better. Weird, huh?

Yesterday I was given to understand that a Dark Night of the Soul is similar to the dissolution of the caterpillar into a mass of protoplasm before the DNA shifts to the butterfly. And someone told me that every cell in our body actually dissolves its internal structures into protoplasm before it splits, so there are really two new cells, not a parent and child. Both have to re-form from almost nothing. I don't know whether this is really true, but it sure is a hopeful metaphor, as this happens millions if not billions of times a day in our bodies !!!!

Allowing the influx of energies to raise my body-mind vibration seems to be my highest priority right now, like you, Glynnda, and with all the bad news around, I am getting the importance of holding onto my vision of the world I am here to co-create. I didn't prepare all these millennia to be a victim; despite the news, I must keep affirming I am here for some other purpose than to suffer and die as the old world dissolves. I must and do keep affirming that there is a Bigger Picture operating, and I will know what I need to know when I need to know it, and I will do what is best to do when it's time to do it. And probably not a moment sooner, so as to minimize the fear.

I so appreciated what you said, Leann, about being with the fear, your ways of dealing with it.

Thank you ALL for your support and insights and encouragement.

There is going to be a lot more “world pain” for the sensitives to deal with, so we best get that process flowing in a way that does not damage us.

And Glynnda, a lot of what you are talking about sounds like what I have been experiencing and facilitating in others for quite awhile, the clearing of all “attachments” to helping. All the NEED to rescue, heal, teach. All the hangups of illusion particular to teachers and healers. We can do all that without NEED, the need is our own “stuff.” We are most happy and effective when we do it from that place of Love (symptoms of spreading love, Loriann, what a great image!!) and the ultimate Compassion which knows “everything is OK.” Getting into that Infinite Divine Mystery-Compassion and out of sympathy is one of the greatest challenges we have set for ourselves. If not THE greatest !!!!!!!

Stay strong, yes, HOLD THE VISION. We are One. Thank you, Will. [Yes, feeling underused is not part of the Dark Night, definitely more like a dim afternoon, haha. Didn't mean to lump those together. And I feel resentment only sometimes, not all the time. And I am patient and kindly toward the self who feels that. Thanks for your supportive words and energy.]

Blessings, OM Bastet

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

Hey everyone!

I want to thank you all for your loving thoughts and words and sharing that what I’ve been feeling is similiar to what you have felt as well.

As I understand it, we are fluctuating back and forth between the different planes/realms and that is why we are having such a tough time as we really don’t feel like we belong here on the lower plane as much anymore. We are moving up! But some of us are hesitant to leave behind what has been our homes/comfort levels in the past few years. I felt that way much after I started to awaken that I was leaving behind much, old friendships and relationships, etc as those friends and lovers were just not on the same level as me anymore. But it has really been good to finally meet people to connect with again. It is so nice having all of you to share experiences with.

I also wanted to mention that I just read somewhere - not sure where that people would be seeking us out for our knowledge very soon so we have not done all of the hard work in vain. Things are really going to start moving here soon. Already the newest earthquake today in California and with there being a solar eclipse coming up this Friday, the 1st. That followed by the 8/8/8 energies and then the lunar eclipse on 8/16/08. It sounds like we are in for a heck of a ride coming up. It will be interesting to see how this all plays out. Another mass awakening is on the horizon for many more people. When that happens, people will be seeking us out to fill in some of those blanks for them. We will finally feel like the time of our missions will be upon us.

I did want to mention one other thing, I’ve heard that it is not uncommon for people to feel alone when their angels and guides are doing a shift change/replacement. There are even short periods of times that we are alone while the new ones are getting ready to step in and take over. This can explain that feeling of despair as well. Sometimes we are so sad to see the others go as they really were like family. But the new guides are here to help us learn more, reach the next level of advancement and to support us in our new missions.

Anyway, just wanted to express all the gratitude I’m feeling towards you all and say thanks! Much love to you all.

Teri

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

Hi All…

I've been going through some diffiicult times recently and having a huge crisis of faith in everything I believed in. I've done an ENORMOUS amount of introspective work lately, really looking at myself and my perceptions and actions, trying to separate my ego from my true spirit. It's been very intense. I've been praying, chanting, and doing some energy work with raw foods, intent and love. I've been asking for a sign, something to believe in again…to know I'm not just crazy. Today I got one that was undeniable. It doesn't matter what it was. It was minor and personal but completely undeniable that I was on the right course and protected. It felt like a turning point.

It's just a small light and the road ahead is still unclear, but I wanted to share it with others who are seeking their own signs. It was a gift to let me know regardless of how it feels sometimes we are being heard.

So, I'm staying on my energy program and holding to love to see what else lies ahead. Keep the faith, Starseeds!

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

Glynnda, as I was re-reading your post this morning, something jumped out at me:

everything I believed in. …a sign, something to believe in again… Keep the faith….

If you were truly running on faith and belief, then you would definitely be in a crisis now, and I am glad you got your “sign,” but I think you will find yourself moving out of faith and belief, and into being and knowingness. (Knowingness is more whole-being than mental or cognitive “knowing” and WAY beyond “belief.”)

Perhaps you didn't mean those terms literally, but just in case…..

To me, “hold the vision” is very different from “keep the faith,” and I also feel led to give more details of how we might go about “holding the vision.” Because it's up for choice for me many times each day these days!!!!! 

 And that is, deliberately choosing the focus of our attention and the source of our emotions, to be on what is presently wonderful in our lives, including the present wonderfulnesses that we see as early phases or early examples of the kind of loving, beautiful, clean, respectful, benevolent world we came here in Love to co-create 

But not getting into fear about the unwanted-future stuff that comes to our attention, and specifically not being afraid of our fear. If we “believe” our negative thoughts create our reality, we become afraid of them and their “power,”  but we can choose that our realities are created by what we regard as TRUE, and we can feel fear, even fear of fear, and not regard it as reflecting any truth. “Oh, I am afraid but this is only an image in a movie.” That kind of perspective, even in what others might regard as “reality.”

Well I have packed a lot into a few words. Thanks to you all who are here sharing and offering support !! Teri, special thanks for your post just above, and Glynnda, thank you for the courage to share what you are going through, as we can all relate and benefit.

Blessings, OM Bastet

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

Hi OM..

You're right! I've been running on faith right now. Using it as a tool. What I've always “known” had also been attached to a certain perceived outcome. When that knowing did not result in the expected outcome, at least not yet, and when the foundation I built that knowing on was withdrawn, my spiritual crisis began. Only faith helped me hang on to the essence of my knowing. Otherwise I felt like an idiot. What I've learned from this experience is that we can't have attachments or expectations to “knowing”. It goes beyond our needs, desires, personalities and existences. It simply is. It is a destination in itself, not part of a journey to somewhere.

My ego has learned a lot. Funny.

Thanks!

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

Well, a lack of activity-type energy seems to be rampant although not universal. Karen Bishop just spoke of it, many of my personal circle of folks who don't know one another are experiencing it, a friend who is in touch with hundreds of folks in various circles, reports it very common. The last few weeks.

It even cropped up in another pod, and I posted about it today, and also suggest you check out the rest of that thread, I think you will feel right at home, haha. It is a marvelously intriguing discussion. I am hoping some of those folks will wander over here; I have mentioned this pod.
 
More specific descriptions of the “lack of energy” are a day or so back in that thread, plus my descriptions today.

How about folks here? I am surprised no one has mentioned it yet !!!!!

Namaste, OM Bastet

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

I too have felt so tired and heavy lately.
Today I got up and couldn't be bothered to dress even!
I had a banana for breakfast, looked on here, then sat and read til 2pm.
That is lazy for me.
And yesterday I was soo happy, today I just wanna cry.
I am trying very hard to cheer up.
I do turn my thoughts around, but it doesn't take much for them to pop back again.
So methinks I best just have a good bawl and get it over with lol
Love mia xxx

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

…go ahead and cry on my cyber shoulder sister…

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

Hugs Mia :) Something is in the air, just cried Friday… and it's no my way of dealing with regular stuff, I believe things, events get accelerated and we get overwhelmed from all these changes in energies around us and inside ourselves…

I am with you and give you lots of hugs :))

Love,
Lili

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

OMG! I didn't expect such kind words back!
Now I got tears in my eyes again.
Thank you Will and Asteri (((hugs)))
Love mia xx

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

Have you felt the beautiful energies today?

I have felt sooo calm and loving and energised.

Nothing has phased me at all.

I am hoping to capture it for use every day :)

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

Thanks for sharing Mia… underneath some frenetic energy I do feel a calmness.

I am also wondering if anyone among the group has been afflicted with headaches over the past several days?  I have always been prone to headaches which I have tied to changes in barometric pressure.  When there's a significant change in the weather I can usually detect it a couple of days in advance because I start with a headache.  It started last Thursday with varying degrees of pain.  The pain is primarily on my right side and my right eye at times feels like it may explode…  I am also experiencing ringing in my left ear… not an uncommon event for me.

This morning I woke up feeling as though I had done battle.  Swinging a sword battle.  I have taken Hedong Gumdo (Korean Martial Arts) classes using a sword and this morning it felt like I did after a 2 hour class of swinging a sword. 

Not really here to complain… just wondered if anyone else is experiencing this?

Blessings,
Kris

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

It appears to me from my own current experiences that our embodiments are accelerating in their already very fast increases in vibration, and this is causing all kinds of tiredness, weakness, aches and pains, etc. I never have headaches, but the ongoing saga of my brain changes is so intense now that I have headaches that significantly affect my functioning.

Understood, Kris, not complaining but comparing notes.

mia it's always inspiring to hear of folks like you who are experiencing “the good stuff.” You don't have to capture it for everyday; it will capture you for every day !!!!!

And the rest of us too, each in our own timing.

Hugs to all, OM

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

I was having problems with my sciatic nerve a week or so ago and now my left knee is bothering me and I know of at least 2 other people that are having problems with their left knees as well. Anyone else?

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

A week or so ago it was nerve in my right leg, very unusual leg and place in leg, but just my normal knee pains since then. Fun to spot patterns, isn't it !!!?

Left knee is about receiving from the Earth and moving forward in a flexible way, so they say…..

Blessings, OM

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

What does it say about the Right Big Toe? :-D
Seriously, that's my symptom of the week. LOL.
Also the arch of that foot…feels sprained, but there is not cause or reason for it.

Oh also, some back discomfort…sorta where my wings would be :-D

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

Hi Ariela, well, the wings thing, I think you got it pretty clearly !!

LOL I don't know the psychological interpretation of right big toe or arch. In reflexology big toe is head. And arch, the closest I could come would be whatever is there in reflexology, and the only thing I remember is transverse colon (large intestine.) But since some say high arch is a sign of high intelligence, it could be head too. ?????

I am being funny here because there are so many systems of interpretation. Best info will come from tuning in to your own body and asking it !!!

Let us know what it says !!! :~D

Namaste, OM

 

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

Umm…grounding (feet) issues because I'm about to fly?


I was being funny too, being that you had some good interpretations going :-D Though the symptoms ARE true :-D

One more thing…at times during the day I can hardly even keep my eyes open…just out of nowhere. Not Tired, per se, but knowing that I need to sleep to…go elsewhere in unlimited form. This is in Addition to the nightly downloading and updates :-D

Love Youuuuu!~~~<3

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

Everyone, absolutely everyone I know who is spiritually growing, has those
MUST.
CLOSE.
EYES.
NOWWWWWW .
moments. The body just has to take a back seat to other-dimensional activities, sometimes….

Yes, I think many of us are close to our destiny of levitating, and teaching levitation to others. Find yourself touching walls to keep upright???? Some of us are, without conscious intent. I forget who mentioned it here some time ago…..

Humor always helps !!

Hugs, OM

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

I too can sleep at anytime, except bed time grrrr, that's when I either collapse unconscious or toss and turn and end up reading til 2 or 3 or 4am.
I also get the dizziness! Sort of sliding sideways, funny feeling.
I thought it was stress, maybe it is with me.

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

OMG OM, yes!
I DO find myself touching walls to center myself! Weird! And Mia…you said it perfectly! That's what I feel! Was going to say Vertigo like I said earlier in this thread, but it's not really a Height thing…it is like you say…sliding sideways! Wowee!

It's like the Earth is accelerating and I'm trying to keep my balance. Orrrrrrr…I AM the one accelerating :-D LOL

And Oh Goodness, where oh where would I be without Humour! :-D
Divine Comedy :-D LOL

I swear, I am soooo thankful for all of you being here and sharing!

StarLit Hugs,

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

Yesterday I took the day off from my day job and was home with my daughter and grandsons…  all day long my daughter kept asking me if I was ok because every time I stood up I had to catch myself from dizziness.  It's kind of like when I was kid and stayed on the Merry-go-round too long… (which way is up?) this too will pass! 

So I guess I'll just start referring to myself as a “Dizzy Blonde” for a while…LOL

Blessings to all…

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

this is a really interesting thread! I've never been the type to openly acknowledge stuff like this, but this year has been intense for me physically and emotionally…I've had a couple of serious hospitalizations this year for both physical&emotional ailments but would always leave feeling like I'd been wrong to peg them as sickness, as serious as they seemed. the treatments were ineffective and seemed to hurt more than they helped.

looking at this post for the dates of my hospitalizations seems to corroborate that…even more recent ones fit well. I am relieved that it may not be just me, but always wonder why others can find things like this uplifting [even in the perception that they're alone] and why I get so frightened by all of this. I guess it has something to do w/ past trauma I've had…it basically made it so that if I feel my body at all, I panic. I didn't really try to put myself back in here until last year…

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

Jeleesa, I am thrilled you found this helpful !!! That's such an important reason for sharing. We are a support network for one another.

You probably are right, past traumas have made you intolerant of body stuff. I don't have any quick and easy answer for that. I do know that most of us have CHARACTERISTICALLY resisted being fully in our bodies, for at least this lifetime. Part of our growth and challenge has been to allow Spirit to fully inhabit these bodies, to fully occupy and merge, to allow full health and full empowerment of our missions and purposes to be expressed through and by our bodies.

Sometimes it is possible to find a spiritual or holistic counselor who understands this resistance to full embodiment and has methods to work with it. Various breathing therapies are often good. I believe that if you simply decide and intend you want help with this matter, you will draw the appropriate resources to you.

It's always wise to seek medical attention for any body problem that seems worthy of medical attention; sometimes we have to try treatments before we know they will be ineffective or counterproductive. I have found a holistic approach is best, so I never ignore body in favor of purely mental or emotional or spiritual methods. Best to use ALL of them, bring all of those approaches to bear on the problem no matter what level of self the problem manifests on, whether physical or emotional or mental or soul.

What have others found helpful in dissolving this resistance to fully occupying the body? [Certainly some past-life therapy can help, too, in addition to breathing methods or whatever.]

The good news is that we are really dissolving old energy patterns that have created suffering, and moving into more manifested joy, health, abundance. As we dissolve and move, we encounter and heal not just the old dysfunctional energy patterns but also our actual resistances to the good stuff. I have had many resistances to the good stuff !!! These make us cling to the old despite our suffering !!

For example, we fear that coming into our full ideal life and health will cost us love, or will cause pain to those we love (and thus would be unloving on our part,) or that we don't deserve the good stuff after all the bad we have done in this and past lives. So a lot of self-forgiving is a huge percentage of the healing !!

Thanks for shring and helping us all know more about ourselves! Keep us posted about your life, now that you've shared your presence here.

In the Love We Are,
Rev. O.M. Bastet

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

BTW here is a cute pattern I just spotted. It happened that I mentioned to one of my very spiritually advanced women friends that I often assume the following position when lying down or sleeping: On my back, hands above head, generally clasped, and one knee pulled up and out to the side so the sole of that foot touches against the knee of the other foot. (Just like one version of the yoga pose called The Tree.)

She said she does the same !!!! This is an unusual enough position that I am wondering, especially as both of us generally avoid having our hands above our heads, it is not recommended for sleeping that way. But this seems like a really comfortable, comforting position for many minutes at a time…..

I am not tuned in enough to know what the energy-flow pattern is. Maybe someone else can say….

Blessings, OM

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

OM, that sleping position of yours, I do the same, or similar.
I don't clasp my hands, I let them fall thru the bed head, have my head to the right and right foot on side of left knee.
I don't stay like it all night, but usually start off in that position.
Love mia xx

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

Wow, fascinating, mia ! I usually have my head straight, and for me the right leg is the first one up, but for my friend it's usually her left leg up, right leg straight.

And I don't have a bed head, just a mattress on a wood slab, LOL !!!

I am sure this position has to do with energy flows in the meridians or nadis, subtle-energy channels, but I don't know WHAT it has to do with them ! And I feel that my hands above my head are immersed in one of the chakras that's above the head, either the silver or gold, or whatever they are, that are “higher” vibration than the crown chakra.

Blessings, OM

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

Mia & OM - thanks for sharing your sleeping position…  

I have slept on my back for years, but noticed about 2 months ago when I woke up in the morning the position of my body had changed.  Normally it was just arms down to the sides and legs just straight - now it has changed to left leg straight with right foot touching left knee and my left arm over my head.  When I noticed the change in sleeping positions if I woke up during the night I would be cognizant of my body position and change it back to what was my normal sleeping position - then upon waking in the morning I would be back to the new sleeping position… funny huh :)

Never thought I'd be writing about what position I slept in at night, but I do find this interesting…

Blessings…

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

Kris, I too often waken with my left arm above my head and right foot on left knee.

My arm is always dead though and I have to carefully lift it down onto the bed.

I also wake several times during the night.

But manage perfectly well and don't miss the sleep.

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

Whaaaa…?!

Sounds like a Twister game but…
Right Foot, Left Knee?!

What! I can't even fall asleep if I don't do that! :-D LOL!
And always, I have an arm above my head, yes sometimes it falls asleep there too, LOL…just temporarily frozen there, not pins and needles. :-D

I think I like to feel the energy pouring in and out of my crown chakra, LOL.

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

Interesting, heck, it's hilarious !!!!

But interesting !!!!!

That makes 4 of us now. Definitely a pattern. Also interesting that some of us start that way and others end up that way…..

LOL !!!

OM

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

mia posted while I was composing!  My arms are rarely asleep. Maybe I've had more practice. Sometimes to prevent arm fatigue I sense beginning, I lower hands to ear level. Even just relaxed there so much energy pours into my head….

And as another variation, sometimes my right arm will crook across my forehead, elbowand upper forearm kinda resting on the forehead, and my other arm up around my head somewhere. The pressure on my third eye often feels good. Perhaps I am shielding?

Blessings, OM

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

Another thing.
When resting in bed, before sleeping, my hands burn and I tingle from head to foot.
It's no good reiking myself cos I have too much energy, so I send it out to anyone who needs it.
I still have too much though.
That's why I cannot sleep well I expect

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

Ok - this is really making me laugh… 

Mia sometimes when I wake up I have to use my right hand to move my left arm from over my head because it feels completely stuck..

And OM - once in a while I will wake up and find my right hand on my forehead over my 3rd eye with my palm facing up… 

TOO FUNNY! 

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

Reaaaaaally :-D

I get Mia's tingling (palms and soles…my cat Loooves it), and I like to fall asleep the same way as Kris…with alternating palms up on my forehead! :-D LOL

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

Hey Ressurected, your cat loves it, lol
I have one of our rats in bed with me and they love it too, nibble my feet lol

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

LOL! I know he does Mia!
He seems to sense when these surges are going to happen and will take circular trips between my fingertips and toes, lapping away like he's drinking up the goodness :-D

He went nuts after my Reiki Attunement, he was in Cat Heaven LOL, the energies were just a flowin' and a flowin' :-D

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

Hey everyone,

That’s so funny that mentioned the changes in sleeping patterns that you guys have been experiencing.

I too have been sleeping with either one or both of my arms above my head for the last several months. Haven’t really noticed the knee thing though. My grandma used to say that was a sign of intelligence when a baby slept with its arms above it’s head…something I never heard of til she said it when my daughter was younger and would sleep that way. My son does it too. I never used to. The other thing I’ve noticed is that I’ve even been waking up at times on my stomach. I have never been a stomach sleeper, always a flat on my back or on my left side sleeper (the majority of time I sleep on the left side because that is the way the blood flows toward the heart). I started sleeping that way when I was pregnant with my daughter 15 years ago. Now I cannot sleep on my right side or I get sick. Left side is better for digestion, the heart, etc.

And back to the dizziness: Just in the last day or two I’ve been very definitely feeling vertigo and not just when standing. I’ll be sitting at my desk at work and all of sudden feel like I’m swaying like I’m on a boat or something. Very strange.

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

I think counting the two children that makes 8 of us now. How's THAT for a pattern? !  Waycool !!

The tingles are 24/7 last 23 years for me, getting more intense all the time. I think I have mentioned I interpret them as vibration-raising of the cells, down to the bio-electric level; the tingles are teensy tinsy electric shocks.

For a long time now I have been completely comfortable (well except for a past-life-trauma block in my left leg above the knee, and sometimes my legs are restless from the overload) with even very intense energy influxes because I never imagine the energy as static, even a glow being radiated. I imagine it, and it is, like a constant river flowing in the top and out the hands and feet and in fact radiating from the entire body all the time. Yes, most animals can detect it and love it !!

If you FLOW it constantly, IMO you get more healing from it, and new stuff is always coming in and the old energy patterns can get flushed out faster. If I had to say a flow rate, I would say it takes a packet or wave about 3 seconds go traverse my whole body.
 
Often it's just physical, to my conscious awareness, but sometimes I can experience the accompanying new or departing old thoughts or feelings. I like that the best !!!

Sometimes I do put my hand itself on my forehead, but whether hand or forearm, it IS always palm up.

OPh yes, the dizziness suddenly, and yes the sideways slipping feeling, great noticing, mia. I'll be sitting at my computer and all of a sudden for a few second a wave will go through me that makes me feel I am falling off my chair, that my head is moving, usually to the right. A wave that feel heavy, but behind it, I feel lighter, and if I get up and walk, there's more than usual of the out-of-gravity sensation.

I can't say about the change to stomach sleeping; I have always slept part of the time on my stomach, since I was born.

BTW my interpretation of the dizziness-sideways lurching is that our conscious experienced body-identity is freeing itself from being restricted to our physical body, shifting to include more of our nonphysical energy-bodies, and the is felt as disorientation wrt gravity, as the head suddenly being free of gravity.

If you haven't noticed the knee/leg thing, or if your body only goes into the Tree Pose/Asana after you fall asleep, try the experiment of allowing your body to do what it wishes, instead of controlling its position, and see what happens. Maybe nothing, but could be interesting to try it sometimes…..

I sooo dig the sharings, thank you all. It is fun, intriguing, and somehow potentially useful for us all.

Blessings, OM

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

These last few days I have noticed sadness creeping up on me.
Today it reached it's peak and I couldn't smile, daren't smile!
I finished work and went home, straight to my bedroom (and my teddy) and hopefully have cried it out.
It may take a day or so more.

I don't usually mention these episodes, but, as we seem to be sharing other things …………….

So, anyone else?

Love mia xxx

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

Sorry you're feeling sad Miss Mia…  I think sometimes because we are sensitive to all the energies, we pick up on the sadness of others as well… and quite possibly the planet as a whole.  Sometimes it can be overwhelming.

I'll be thinking of you and sending you positive thoughts!
Blessings,
Kris

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

Thank you xx
I should be used to it by now lol

Love mia xx

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

Sending the Mystery of Divine Compassion to you also, mia, as this energy is almost surely not personal re you. Thank you for your sensitivity ! And to Kris for responding.

I am curious what would have happened if you had “dared” to smile. That's a curious turn of phrase….

What has been creeping up on me this week is fear. Speaking from a strictly 3-D perspective I am possibly in some danger of physical harm, but my Guides tell me that's not really what this is about. I am healing my oldest most ancient fear wrt other people. And it's taking quite awhile. I have been in the adrenaline shakes for over a day now….

But I continue to get help and counseling locally, and am open to any help to transmute this ancient fear into the highest Truth of my full multi-dimensional Godself, so I can respond to the actual situation without old baggage in the way. From a new and even higher place than I was in before.

And I doubt I am the only one with this fear (of people who are out of control/insane) so perhaps that is why the healing is slow, perhaps I am not just dealing with my own unique situation, energetically.
 
I think the best thing we can do is not “believe” any of our thoughts and feelings, just let them wash over us like waves, without resistance but also as triggers for our vibration increasing/greater awareness and greater compassion. That is what I am doing, even while my body is engrossed, except that the energy influxes and transmutating continues apace.

We're “doing our thing.” And supporting one another, for which I am profoundly grateful.

Blessings, OM Bastet

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

I always would look for a reason for feeling sad/upset/miserable.
I would always find someone or something to blame.
Then I realised there was no one, or no thing, not even me to blame.
So now I just work around or through these down times.

OM
[quote] I am curious what would have happened if you had “dared” to smile. That's a curious turn of phrase….[/quote]

If I smiled I would have wept, and my elderly clients would have been worried or upset themselves.

I read somewhere about fear coming up for us. ooh, that adrenaline doesn't sound too good :(

I'll send you some love (((hugs)))

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

In reading the responses of OM and Mia it reminded me of an earlier time with my daughter.  When she was 11, she is now 24, her father decided to exit from our family.  My daughter became extremely sad because she was such a daddy's girl and didn't understand why he left.  I became very concerned about her well-being and it was suggested to me that for 10 minutes every day she needed to practice smiling : )  At first she thought it was ridiculous, but every night when I would come home from work we would practice smiling together for 10 minutes.  It was really amazing to watch the change in her… it also helped me as well during a very difficult time.

Mia… I completely understand that sometimes especially when you are not at home and feeling vulnerable you need to do whatever it takes (including not smiling) to get through it.  But when you feel you are in a safe place you may want to give it a try.

Sending you a smile and a warm hug Mia :)
Kris

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

Hi Mia,

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

I am feeling better today.
I received LOTS of healing as soon as I got into bed last night.
I am unsure where or who it came from, but it knocked me out and I feel clearer today.
And I can smile again :)

BP, I thought it was going to be a dark night of soul and was dreading it!

mmm, I would have to get into the right frame of thinking to embrace it.

Good thinking Super Hero!

Many thanks for all the replies. So, it was just me after all!

Love mia xx

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

Mia and all friends,
I too have had some difficult moments in my life.  There was a time back in 2003 when the world as I knew collapsed all around me.  I was working as a billing clerk in a paging company and Greg was working at the navy base.  A contractor there asked him to work for him full time…Long story short…he was making good money and then suddenly on May 31 one of his paychecks bounced…1200 dollars worth of pay.  That created the dominoe effect.  Everything that we wrote to pay bills…gas, electric, fuel, car payments, insurance, everything came bouncing back like a rubber ball.  Greg found himself out of job temporarily and I having to shoulder all the responsibilities of the house payments, car and insurance payments, groceries it became so overwhelming that I had a complete nervous breakdown.  I knew what was happening and I started seeking some help.  (Let me tell you, if you are not suicidal, then you have to wait for weeks before an appointment can be made).  I found myself sheltering myself in my house.  Did not want to go outside of the house, paranoia sat in.  I was constantly watching over my shoulder.  I feared that my ex husband would take my youngest away from me (that never happened.  Today we communicate very well).  The lowest point of that year was when I had to go to the food pantry to get food until my disability checks came in.  I felt like there was no one around who really understood.  I am of Catholic faith and had always believed that He would be there to comfort me.  The more I started to rely on Him, the more castrophe would strike.  Every step forward I took, I went back two steps.  I kept questioning why is He not there.  I kept looking back at the Psalm “Footprints in the Sand” and I always saw two sets of foot prints, not one so I believed that  He was not carrying me.  I stopped believing.  I sought comfort with my family, with Greg, friends, but most importantly, it may seem hard to believe, but I found solace in my paintings and crafting.  I would sit for hours just painting and creating.  Within a year, I went back to work and became stronger.  We have come so close to that same turn in the road, and then I start to freeze up, but I count to ten and say to myself, it will never happen again.
I started to believe again and then we made the move to florida last year.  Things have come around better for us.  Oh sure, we still face some uncertainties, but we handle them when they happen and with less stress.   When Greg's truck got re-po'ed this past August, he went off the deep end and I thought “Here we go again”.  Circumstances beyond our control.  Well, I took time to find out where the truck was, he paid the tow charge and then we both found some humor in it.  First off, they would not get what we owed on it and second of all  460 more a month in our pockets.  We are doing very well with just one vehicle.
As for the dizziness, I too have it.  It has been a gift from my dad.  LOL.  Whenever I go to the hair salon, I always tell the ladies to allow me one or two minutes to get my balance because of the vertigo.  For this it is an imbalance in the inner ear and only a couple things work for it…one is a prescription for Meclazine and/or additional salt and banannas.  The vertigo became so bad one night.  My ex husband was working and Rachel and I were home.  I literally had to have Rachel walk me to the bathroom and stay with me while I did my business and then have her walk me back to the couch.  I called my ex and he came home from work (EMT) with the ambulance and took me to the hospital.  I refused a spinal tap (don't like pain ), they gave me compazine suppositories and Meclazine intravenously and sent me home.  The joys of having the gift from my dad.

I am so very fortunate to have found Gaia and to share my experiences with all of you.  I have to thank my daughter for introducing me to this wonderful site.

Re: Symptoms and Afflictions -- sadness, Dark Night of Soul

mia, I just had to share what happened to me today because I think it might be related to that episode of sadness you had !!.

I am in a small-group healing project focused on a couple of people and someone said yesterday about doing this for many on the inner planes while doing it for one or two explicitly, and somehow that insight triggered in me today a profound experience.

Yesterday before I read that, I noticed a couple of times when crying-sadness welled up in me, but didn't stay.

Today it stayed for over an hour, and I knew exactly what it was. I was crying with grief for all the – what term shall I use – Starseeds? World-changers? – who in a sense bit off more than they could chew in this lifetime, and are at this time probably not going to “make it” through the challenging times, not going to fulfill their life purpose as originally projected, because they have been so “damaged” by their life history/experiences that they simply are not functional for the doing of what they came here to do. They are so deeply into drugs or alcohol or simply psychological trauma, it would take a miracle to heal them. Of course, there is no judgment on this, and they are not at all failures nor are their lives wasted. Every experience is helpful, and valuable.

Nonetheless, there is grief at the profound suffering they are experiencing, and at the probable loss of them as fully-embodied  active Team members working for Planet Earth's upliftment.

As I was sobbing in empathetic pain and in grief, I felt called to ask for/affirm another possible future timeline. I went way up in the levels of Creative Power-Beings (hope you have your own meaning, it would take a paragraph to really explain) and I said to them, in these approximate words:

Listen, anything is possible. It is possible to save these lives, turn them around. It is possible to heal these folks and have them working with us here in embodiment. I ask now that each one receive the actual help in the 3-D world of at least one special Angel embodied specifically to do whatever will manifest the miracle of healing for that individual. [This would be easy to do for my friend; it can't be someone he already knows.]

And I was not asking that existing embodied people be used for this purpose. I asked specifically for a nonphysical Angel or Guide or Teacher or Healer to take on embodiment and interact with each individual until the healing is accomplished, whereupon said embodiment would dematerialize/ascend.
 
And I include myself and any others who are still significantly suffering, as recipients of such help and guidance and miracles. In fact, I asked for an end to ALL the suffering here on this planet.

I have no Messiah illusions. And I was not asking as a beggar or pleader or victim. Each of us on the upper levels of our Being has vast Creative Powers. And each of us has levels of identity; I went as my human identity, in humility but also in Oneness and my higher identities.
 
I have no idea what effect this will have, all I know is I felt called to do it, so I did.

Since Dark Night of the Soul was mentioned here, I thought I would offer my perspective on that, which is in this blog. There are many other versions or causes or experiences people call a Dark Night of the Soul, this is not the only one.
 
mia, does this resonate as related to your sadness????

Namaste, OM

Re: Symptoms and Afflictions -- sadness, Dark Night of Soul

OM, I do resonate with what you say.

Very often I don't think my tears are mine, that I am crying for someone else.
I never thought to put it in writing though.

I thought I was ok. That it was just a 24hr thing, but, my heart is very heavy and tears are close again.

I can't meditate, can't send healing, so methinks I shall be quiet and pamper myself for a bit.

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

This discussion wasn't something I related to until I started reading about the “sleeping positions”.  I've had some similar experiences concerning the Tree, or Mountain pose with the soul of the foot at the knee while laying in be, upon waking up and things.

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

BP, you are very gifted to see, hear and interact with your B/eings like you do.
I also understand how overwhelming it must have been at the beginning.
I expect you are not the same person you were before they arrived.
Can you be just you?
Do they leave you alone at all?
Do you know why they are with you?

Gina, Gosh you have had some hard times!
I may share mine one day xx

Love mia xx

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

Mia,
I guess I have had.  Through it all though, I now believe it is a test in endurance and spirituality.  The more challenging life situations present themselves, I believe the stronger you become

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

Gina, I totally agree.
Without challenges, we wouldn't have character, strength etc.
And it's how we face our challenges that determine whether we learn a lesson and move on, or not.

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

I gottanother one!

How many of us, have an acid reflux or excess acid or some form of acid indigestion?

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

Oh Boy Mia,
You hit the nail on the head.  I have acid reflux accompanied by heartburn.  The funny thing is (being that I have a medical background), the acid reflux starts at the center of my chest and it is very hard pressing (others would presume it is a heart attack), yet when this comes on, the first thing I do is check my pulse, see if I can inhale…if I can do all of these, then it is just reflux.  I need to be near someplace that has a lot of Tums, Rolaids, Maalox, bread water, etc.  I do have the tendency when this occurs to drink at least a half a bottle of Maalox to coat the throat and into the stomach.  It eventually passes.  And I thought I was the only one that experienced something like this

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

I have had heartburn for years.
Ity was when I had a bottle of Gaviscon in the kitchen, one in my bedroom and one in the car, that I thought I had better see my doctor.

Tests show the upper part of my stomach has 50pc burns and an ulcer and my oesphagus has 50pc burns too.

But the Omeprazole he prescribed for me are wonderful! :)

Methinks our bodies cannot accept some of the food we eat ;)

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

In response to that Mia, our bodies may like what we have to eat, however, I am not going to give up on my cuisine.  I will just stock up on the maalox and pepcid.  Life is too short to worry about if what we eat will give us gas, upset stomachs, nausea, diarrhea….we will all starve if that happens.

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

Your meds may only be masking like my Gaviscon was.
They won't work forever.
Acid can and does do a lot of damage.

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

Oh, I know.  The majority of us could have ulcers forming, however, with a little meditation and stress relief, my episodes have become less and less frequent.  I can almost predict when one is about to occur.  Such as a bill may be late, the ex's are giving signs of trouble, short staffing at work, etc.  Most of the reflux if not found right away can become painful, yet my doctor told me just to ease off the caffeine and try eating six meals a day and go easy with the fatty foods, greasy foods, etc.

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

That's good :)
Just take care.
I was shocked at the results of my endoscopic examination.
I do my best to control the acid by diet, because I don't like putting something in my body that is not natural.

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

Well, at least I know where I get the reflux from… I forgot you had that Ma (“Gina”)… I actually have an appointment with a gastroenterologist on Tuesday… I can't even drink water at the moment.  The second it hits my breast bone, I feel like I have been jabbed with acid.  I'm starting to lose weight because I find it difficult to eat.  Obviously, that's not bad that I am losing weight, just bad that it's not the RIGHT way.

I'll keep you posted.  I tried protonix.. took the edge off, but I was supposed to ween off of it.  So I did, and it's worse than ever… the doctor said I probably had an ulcer - all things considering, it would make sense since I had a tendency to abuse IB profin.. no joke.. I was taken about 5-8 a day for at least 6 months to a year … STRAIGHT.  Oops.

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

Well now, we do share a lot!  Ulcer, maybe, but have you tried stress relief?  For instance, take one of those “toys” that are squishy, put it in your pocket, on your desk at the computer and just keep squeezing it, as if you were macy playing with her toy.  The harder you squeeze it, the more stress is lifted.  Dave (my old boss) told me to do this right after he got out of the hospital after he had his heart attack.  I had one on my desk and you know something, it does work.  I wish I had one right now.  I lost the other one.

Re: Symptoms of Week, and Afflictions -- Empathy

It's late at night and I haven't read all of this thread……my apologies if this dosen't resonate with you all. I believe this information is for Gina & Daydreamer.  The heart-burn for YOU may be the transmutation of stagnent energy for OTHERS in your heart chakra. Your are unconsiously clearing energy for people around you, especially loved ones and people you work closely with. Some releasing and 'unhooking' me be necessary for you to detach from the physical manifestation. If this resonates with either of you, let me know. I am happy to help.
Love Abounds, Melynnda

Re: Symptoms of the Week, and Afflictions

You know Melynda I never thought of it that way.  I guess when I am overwhelmed emotionally (like worrying about finances, work, personal issues and other pressures of everyday life), i seem to have the heartburn.  The heavier the pressure, the heavier the heartburn.  As I told Rachel, I did have a little “squishy” ball that I would squeeze during the day and somehow that worked.  So what do We do to subside the heartburn without seeming to neglect those around us?

Re: Symptoms and Afflictions -- Acid Reflux and Empathy

Dynamite insight, Melynnda. Most of us are indeed processing energies for others, along with ourselves.

I think we can choose to have that involve harm to our own bodies, or not. There is no right or wrong about that choice.

However, if one chooses to NOT harm one's own body, or even if one does, I guess – we can examine our idea of what “love” is, what love requires of us, what is really loving to do. I found a whole bunch of illusions within myself about what was loving and unloving behavior on my part. For instance, I decided it was not particularly loving to bang my head repeatedly against a stone wall for someone else's sake. I realized I could be loving without that particular behavior !!!!!!

Most of us are SO loving, we sometimes don't separate out human emotion of love, and what behaviors that SEEMS to require, from Divine Love, which is our always-already state of Being and a radiation, not a behavior and not even necessarily requiring any particular behavior.

That would be my answer to your last question, Gina, how to seem not neglectful of others while caring for own needs.
 
Can you say more, Melynnda, of how you help folks with these issues?

Blessings, OM Bastet
