April 2010 Prayer, Light, and Healing requests
May all who step through this “virtual door” find comfort and compassion and kindness and friendship. Your voice will be heard here – tell us your story.

Let me start with a story that caught my eye - it comes from Lost by Elana Zaiman (Nov. 2008 issue of The Sun):

The writer André Gide relates this experience of a trip he took into the Belgian Congo:

My party had been pushing ahead at a fast pace for a number of days, and one morning when we were ready to set out, our native bearers, who carried the food and equipment, were found sitting about without any preparations made for starting the day.

Upon being questioned, they said, quite simply, that they had been traveling so fast in these last days that they had gotten ahead of their souls and were going to stay quietly in camp for the day in order for their souls to catch up with them.

So they came to a complete stop.


Perhaps we can start this month by stopping and letting our souls catch up with us.

I have set up a Reiki grid of healing - all you need do is ask. And may all who requested help in March, and are still in need, find help in here.

2. Heartbroken
I finally (after weeks and weeks) got to talk to the scorpio about what's been going on. He dealt me a jaw-dropping painful blow that will be with me forever. I think the only way he could have hurt me more would have been to actually stab me in the heart. :cry:

At least it's over and I know WTF is going on. I just can't believe my friend betrayed me so, and that he's not even remotely close to being the person I thought he was.

I can't breathe, my heart actually hurts and I might actually drown in my owns tears. :( So, I'll accept any healing that is offered.

4. Oh dear.....
I'm so very sorry, Sweet Freedom.

There are no words to ease the gut-wrenching pain you're experiencing right now, so I won't try. Please be kind to yourself...you deserve it....and please remember that, truthfully, this too shall pass.

For now, I offer hugs of comfort:

And butterflies are free to fly

Is this where you got your name? Someone saved my life Tonight?

I ask because I saw Sir Elton and Billy Joel in concert in Oklahoma City in February. It was awesome.

25. OMG! How bizarre.
This morning, I'm dying, but tonight, everything is so different...

So yes, my heart was broken, but then miraculously, I got everything I've been praying for! I'm getting every explanantion I've searched for, every apology I needed, he's admitting every transgression and taking responsibility for everything he's done, he's seeing me for who I truly am, and finally what he says matches what he does.

I feel like a new person. :woohoo:

(Thank you to everyone for your support!)

"letting our souls catch up with us."

Just WOW. That has me (nearly) speechless. Very, very, very powerful!

Thank you, Delphinus. :hug:

7. Thank you for taking care of this month's prayer thread, Delphinus
Great story! I like that sentiment very much.

I'd like to ask for some willpower, please. My health is currently compromised, and it's my own fault for thinking I could eat "normally". Apparently not. Gallbladder is going nuts and I've gained a ton of weight in the past year. I just restarted my hardcore "metabolic syndrome" diet to get back on track and to reverse the trend of hurtling toward a weight more appropriate for a bovine. Unfortunately this diet quite strict and bans all carbs for the foreseeable future. Needless to say it's nearly impossible to stick to, so any vibes anyone can send to boost my willpower, I will gladly accept! Thanks! :hi:

35. me too, me too
I just ordered the book "Body Ecology Diet" because a friend had such an extraordinary positive response to it. But I need to get things under control here due to potential cardiovascular implications. I'm pretty worried that coffee is not in the diet.

Seriously, good luck on the new diet. Maybe we need a monthly willpower thread!

20. We got the north side of the yard fenced in.
Nobody had used it before for anything (it was my grandparents' house at one time).

We put up a 6 foot wooden privacy fence. It's about 80 feet on the east side and 170 on the North side, so that is a goodly chunk of land. We've moved some aspidistra near the N fence, and are planting bulbs in a couple of beds we've prepared. I want this formerly unused piece of grass to harbor peaceful nature spirits and tranquility.

30. Ha! Please disregard my last two gmails!
I checked in on you energetically (hadn't before) and didn't find devastation...and wondered why! Or that I was being tricked, to see if I can really see..

Things are moving so quickly for you. The new energy does indeed require old items to heal and be done with, to clear our path for our greatest good, for our birthright, JOY.

31. It took a long time to get the answers I sought
but that's because they could not all be answered until now.

The reason I'm recovering so quickly is that the person who hurt me is the person who is healing my wounds. (At the same time, I think I am the catalyst for major change in his life to become the person he is supposed to be. Oddly, we're healing each other.)

Cool, huh? :)

(I'll address e-mails this weekend. Thanks!)

32. Wow. Something similar happened to me -- took 30 years.
I had a brief marriage in 1979-80.

Starter marriage in college, no kids, no property. A whole lot of mental cruelty and infidelity on his part. General immaturity. He changed colleges, his parents screamed at me about religion with a big chip on their shoulder, and I didn't have a problem with it.

Saw the guy again at his brother's memorial service in 2008. His older brother had died suddenly from a heart attack. I knew his brother later from the local artist community.

Went up to him and asked him "Do you know who I am?"

He couldn't remember my name but knew who I was.

He turned into a good person, is working on a Master's of Divinity, becoming a minister. Doing his part for "tikkun olam"-- that's 'repairing the world' in Hebrew.

I thought people didn't change. He was young enough to change. He's 50 now.

After I talked to him at the service, I felt two big invisible hands open my chest gently, and a lot of pain left my heart chakra. This went on for about two hours. It was an extraordinary experience.

A whole lot of healing went on then. And we are in contact by e-mail.

38. Yes, feeling my heart open up and the pain come out was indeed extraordinary.
He grew up Reform Jewish. His parents ranted and screamed like they were some sort of rule bound Orthodox Jews that kept kosher and went to the mikva and all that. We met at a Presbyterian college. I was raised Presby but my folks weren't real worried about me getting baptised or anything.

I told his parents that I did not have a problem with being Jewish, that I had a lot of admiration for Jews because of their emphasis on education and questioning. They didn't want to hear that. They saw me as the enemy. If we had stayed married I probably would have converted.

When we were married we went to the reform temple on Friday night and the UU church on Sunday morning. I stayed UU. He's a liberal Methodist.

He sent me a copy of the sermon he preached the first Sunday of Advent and I read it and it was very very positive stuff. I sent it to a friend of mine who follows Rev. Otis Moss at Trinity UCC in Chicago (Rev. Wright's church) and she thought it was quite good too. I can get along with social activist Christians but not the dogmatic ones.

I read a lot of Buddhism and consider myself a secular humanist.

If anyone wants a copy of his sermon please PM me.

42. I knew there was a helluva lot of pain that had never been addressed by either of us.
And I had never contacted him to ask him why he did what he did. I just blamed it on his bad attitude and total immaturity. Like sitting around being a pothead, complaining about his teachers, wanting to change schools, having open girlfriends on the side and running around in a daze. Knowing it was wrong but not acting like it was wrong. Hopping in the sack with seven of my girlfriends. Saying things to me, about his major flame when we were separated and he had transferred to another college a few blocks down the street, "I've never gone out with anybody as attractive as she is".

:shrug:

Since we are back in contact, he apologized and asked me to forgive him for all the hurt he caused.
I did not forgive him and I explained a bit. I said that it was obvious that he had changed, and realized that he had hurt me. I did not think it was my place to judge him or forgive him.

The one time I yelled at him about having a girlfriend, he flew into a rage. I wanted to beat him up, because I weighed more than he did, but didn't because i figured he would probably have me arrested for battery.

Maybe in the future if we talk about it in person a bit more, I could forgive him. And eventually I will find out when he figured out that he was hurting other people, and he changed. But that's not an e mail conversation.

I think the important thing is that HE has realized he was wrong and he changed. He's taken on the responsibility to recognize what he did and to stop acting that way. I told him I remember a lot of the stuff he did that was hurtful, I have forgotten most of it, since it was thirty years ago, but it recedes into the past, and I don't dwell on it.

43. From World Graditude, Day 21:
Just for today:

Let's call our soldiers home- the splintered aspects of ourselves enlisted to guard and protect our delicate nature, sacred space and sovereign rights as Divine beings.

With our hearts, send forth a prayer of peace: "Our time of forgetting is passed, and we remember all as One." It is time to lay down our defenses, to declare peace in our hearts, and it will be so in our lands, as well.


Amen; so mote it be.

"Splintered aspects of ourselves"--I like that a lot. It's true that we spend most of our time thinking of our brothers and sisters as "other" when in reality we're all One.

57. Just saw the update:
25 dead, 4 missing.

Bless them - I hope their journey to the other side was quick. May the 4 still missing be held in grace.

Prayers, love, and healing to their families.

Such a tragedy. :cry:

58. Asking the Universe to be with the miners who are still missing
and to give swift passage to those who have died. Sending comforting and peaceful energies to their families.

59. Please hold a good thoughts
My father went back to the hospital this past Friday. The repair to his thighbone didn't hold and the pins came loose. The surgery was yesterday. The surgeon had to replace the hip replacement and the plates and pins for the thighbone. He'll be alright, but he'll be in the hospital for awhile, and then a nursing home. The bones are in bad shape due to years of prescription drugs, alcohol, and his own rotten disposition. His inactivity and refusal to take care of himself have finally caught up to him. My mother has to walk with 2 canes, and my brothers are rather...undependable.

Your good thoughts are appreciated.

66. A message we might find helpful:
(from Kristy Robinett of Tangled Wishes)
Chains That Bind

I was sitting in my office and kept hearing Aretha Franklin's "Chain of Fools" song. The song played over and over in my head, "Chain, chain, chain...chain of Fools. One of these mornings the chain is gonna break. But up until then, yeah, I'm gonna take all I can take." Music is a strong influence over me with regards to the messages which I receive and share. I sang in the choir since I was 5 years old, danced since about that time also and played in the band (drums - my poor parents!) and then married the son of a 'Music Man' who also happens to be someone I would love to have on my team if given the category of 'Music' on Jeopardy or 'Name That Tune'. So, when I get a message such as 'Chain of Fools', I decide to follow through on it with a meditation and realized it was something that was to be shared here; in this newsletter.

We tend to hold on tightly to what we feel is comfortable. Whether a job which we know isn't right for us, but it is a job. A marriage which is abusive and/or unloving, but we don't want to take a step away (or into counseling) because we don't want to stir anything up. Hurt feelings from friends and family, but it is easier to just suppress. Or even past issues which we have physically put aside, such as ex boyfriends or ex husbands, or an old boss that did us wrong and yet the person or the issue hasn't been let go of. More than not, we tend to put another link in the chain of life instead of tossing the chains that didn't serve us well. We collect the chain of fools and what they do is anchor us in the past, hindering our ability for growth. They weigh us down so that before we know it, we feel as if we are drowning and can't move at all. Spinning our wheels in the mud and stuck.

Or at least we may feel that way.

The good news is that we are never stuck. We can easily call on our Guides and Angels to cut the chains and break free so that we can move forward in life and experience the newness - a new job, a new love, a new outlook... Our Angels and Guides have all the tools that we need in order to get the job done.

I often suggest a meditation to my clients to help. The reason this meditation works so well is because your intention becomes about breaking free and not being stuck. Now I am not saying that once you cut the chains that your life will instantly appear clear, but it is a step for the clouds to begin dissipating so that in time you will be able to fully enjoy the sun that will shine as a result.

MEDITATION:

1. Sit or lay down in a comfortable and quiet spot. Ask your Guides and Angels (I love asking for Archangel Michael since he has a sword) to come and help cut the ties that bind you to the past.

2. Visualize a brilliant white bubble of light around you. You can put a color with it if you feel necessary. Different colors stand for different things (i.e. pink for love, blue for calming energy, green for grounding, etc). This is a light of protection and purity.

3. Visualize the cords or chains that are wrapped around you. You may name the cords if you would like. (i.e. - Mike, Job I hate, Argument with Mom, etc).

4. Ask your Angels/Guides to cut those cords/chains.

5. As they cut these cords/chains, visualize that they drop off of you and that your body/soul is sealed so that those cords/chains cannot reattach. You can even visualize spraying yourself with Teflon or "Pam".

6. Thank your Guides and Angels for assisting.

This process should take about 5 - 15 minutes. Drink water afterward so that you can purge the toxins from you. You may also experience an emotional outburst (crying, screaming, etc). This is another part of the healing process).

You shouldn't have to do this anymore than twice. Most of the time the first time works. You may also want to do this while getting a massage or reflexology (just make sure to tell them what you are doing so that the screams and cries don't surprise them!).

There may also be physical things that can help you break free. Are you still 'stalking' your ex on Myspace or Facebook? Do you have paperwork that you look at daily which reminds you of that old job or an ex? Are the argumentative emails from the past still in your email box? Isn't it time for you to Spring Clean your soul?

This breaking free exercise will help you to feel free again and manifest your TRUE desires, ridding yourself of past experiences. Take the lessons and the love from the past, but if it isn't serving you any good, break free from the chains and step into a beautiful new world which you can help create.

Soulfully Yours,
Kristy

70. Okay, as usual, I request light and healing.
The Klowns under whom I live are holding (another) kangaroo court/drumhead in which I am the problem, not their problem-causing actions. My doctor has already given them a "cease" notice regarding the exacerbation of my health symptoms, and of course, they continue to cause stress and discomfort, this time demanding that I be moved (again), which of course, is a cause of stress in itself, not a solution. Listening to my very simple, Doctor-derived needs is simple.

Of course, simple is not possible. To be listened to, to have problems cease, is not possible. The new "manager" got in my face this morning, nose-to-nose, shouting (not yelling, above yelling) at length to see if it would bring me to a reaction which could be used against me. Saying "Fuck your doctor" when I attempted to get him to read my many documents regarding my health and disability.

Yes, the office is complicit. The continued trend indicates and confirms such. Leaving me alone would be a solution. Not leaving me alone is against my Doctor's orders and my very health.

Of course, that which is against my health must continue. Such is the nature of Humanoids.

Hurry up 2012. I want to be with Real People.

Created by our own Celebration. Check out all five vids. They're not necessarily going to diminish knee pain, but I think being balanced helps everything.

82. I'm not sure what I need, but it's something.
I'm going through a period of significant change - good change, but it's still upheaval. I'm getting a lot of what I've asked for. However....

As part of this, my marriage is becoming more chaotic, not less. It seems like the more I control my emotional state and remain calm, the more volatile my mate becomes.

I'm sad and lonely. Most times when we have conflict I feel like I go through a fresh round of grief for the marriage/relationship I thought that I had. I am, frankly, tired of being depressed/aggrieved by our "communication" problems for so long. I've told him this, and he's responded with more emotional volatility. I finally told him today I wanted to think about separating for a period of time in order for me to figure out what I really need for myself, vs. what I think I need to be doing in order to make him happy. Which I can't do, I know.

Please, prayers, light, healing... for me? for my mate?


Thank you for your generous spirits, waheguru.

83. Hi, Dora.
Yes, let's start with energies of understanding for your mate. As you stated, you're getting a lot of what you wanted; he, maybe not so much, and this has to be rocking the boat a lot.

I am sending you energies to help you stay calm and centered.

May what is needed for both your journeys become clear in a peaceful manner.

87. Pulled my old back injury a couple of days ago
I am not sure what I did as I woke up with the muscles on the right side in spasm from just below the waist and in a zigzag down to the right hip. Since then I have been extra careful how i move and using an ice pack on the spine and heating pad on the hip & low back. if it holds to the usual pattern I should be better in a week or so but I am impatient for the pain to stop. I really would appreciate any sort of good vibes to help my back get back on track!

89. Need some healing vibes.
Left thigh hurts. Sort of toward the outside, but the muscle on top, that you pull your leg up with, REALLY hurts when I do that. Hurts about halfway between hip and knee.

Fire Walk With Me, hang in there!! Sending you calming healing vibes too!

Gave myself a vitamin shot and can't figure out why it's hurting. The pain goes from the inj site towards the knee. Weird.

Got it wrapped up in two ace bandages.

for actress Lindsay Lohan.

Yeah. I know. But I think there's a remote chance that she might, just might, pull through, and I feel kinda guilty for snarking on her on the Internet these past two years when she is clearly very ill.

Date of birth: July 2, 1986 (Long Island, NY)

Some semi-recent pics:

Or you can Google to find more.

Thanks. I hope it helps (at least a little.)
