I love youtube! I just set up so I could check out some music, and long ago I subscribed to this site for the above video and I really like the lyrics, the easy listening inviting music, and the interview. Take some time to slow down and listen to the interview. The irony, is what they are talking about includes some of what I planned to write about tonight.

BODY HEALING.

I live a pretty alternative life combining several independent projects, a PT job, flex schedules… even so there are stresses that can build up, and there are illnesses floating about, and even the healers can become sick. I was most upset when this morning my symptoms returned. I had had enough, and internally I panicked some because the symptoms were expanding. So I took action and listened to a friend, went off to the market determined to lick this exasperating bug. But as I said to my friend, “Fortunately, it’s a rainy day which I can do nothing and stay cozy inside.”

We live in a mountain desert where rain is a gift from the Gods (goddesses) and dirt roads get muddy, and many people simply don’t go out. I waited for the hail pellets to stop, thought ,”goodness, it’s winter again!” and was glad for the cooler weather. My short trip to the grocers took more than an hour (I went in for 3 things, and came out with $50 worth of stuff.) I was weak, dizzy, tired, with a mild fever as I walked up my driveway. I needed to eat.

First I had to feed the cats, water a few plants, put away the groceries, do a few other things and an hour later managed to microwave meal one. I sat on the couch with my two cats, my squash ravioli, an exotic cheese olive, nut plus spread on very tasty white sour dough bread. I ate slowly. Nausea subsided. Dessert: a ginger chew.

Advice: Get the three things, get out of the store. Get home rest.

I did pick up something different to help with the new symptons. Tease the body into healing. New solutions may be all you need. However healing goes much deeper than the ingredients. I recognized my panic about being sick still, and I took a chinese blend of herbs, and some rescue remedy cream to reduce the panic.

Lunch completed, water bottle nearby, I took a contemporary western to watch. 2 hours later, very bored but appreciative of a SW DVD, I was ready for a nap. Four or five hours later of deep sleep and some lucid dreaming, I was amazed by my shift of energy. A mini vision quest in my dreams. It was time to eat again, but first I had to find my water bottle, and write down some of what I realized in my dreams. Body healing has many aspects of discovery. Forgiving long past wounds helps. Stuff thought resolved, gentle cleansing and loving needed.

Another hour or two of writing. Just as reference so I might remember or expand this work. Back to the microwave, toast with that exotic dip and the other half of toast with blackberry conserve. This morning blackberry sounded awful: gag effect. Tonight ambrosia from the heavens. Thank you friend. Thank you God. Gratitude help everyday. It was raining again! Maybe some squash will sprout or the beans. A few more irises decided to bloom.

In the mid afternoon, I decided to write a blog, and a clap of thunder, and torrential rain appeared, and so I knew if I valued the computer, I’d best not work. Rest. Breathe the moist air and smell the chamisa and sage, the moist red soil, the spring flowers blooming, and be glad for life. It’s all quite romantic and dramatic here.

So tonight, while blogging, I’ve listened to Black Eagle: native American drumming, and now Michael Hearne. The rain is quieter now if not stopped. My body needs its evening before bed doseing.

Wherever you are, may blessings be abundant. May the earth support you with all the props and intuitive guides for your healing. May there be clean fresh air from spring rains, and a drum beating in your heart, and the power of your love restoring you to health.
