December 2010 Prayer and Healing Thread

[Missy Vixen]

All thanks and blessings to CallieMcAllie for doing such a great job with the November thread. Thank you so much for your service to ASAH!

As the days get shorter, we turn to the things that comfort us. After all, in the midst of darkness, light (and hope) springs eternal.



We lift our glasses to positive change, to love, and to the belief that with the return of the sun, our lives will be transformed as well.

Here's to the beauty of the season.

Love,
-MV/Julie

1. Thank you, Missy Vixen. So lovely!!! I have a request....

My daughter is traveling again, today and returning Sunday. All good vibes sent her way for safe travels are most appreciated.

:grouphug:

[Celebration]

3. Definitely, OGR

:hug:

Safe travels to your daughter and all our loved ones traveling this season.

2. I would like to pray, in gratitude ...

... to the Universe for the things that have happened - and continue to happen - in my life. I've been stopped dead in my tracks speechless more than a handful of times over the last 6 months, to see what I was thinking or wishing literally manifest itself right under my nose. The Universe has shown me this year that I really can - and should - trust her to get things sorted out and on track, if I stop trying to control and push.

I would like light, peace and that same feeling of wonder to be shared with others on this forum who are experiencing frustration or tough times.

4. What a marvelous sharing...

You brought tears to my eyes this morning, in gratitude!

I join you in also praying for "light, peace and the same feeling of wonder to be shared with others who are experiencing frustration or tough times."

Simply beautiful.

I'm so delighted you're experiencing this wonder, Myrina. I call forth some of that Wonder as well.

:hug:

5. I'm booting my own thread

There are so many people in need right now, and not just financially.

Please concentrate on "abundance" with me.

[kimmerspixelated]

6. I am so very thankful for all the folks on this forum! Please

help me to manifest and pray I will get one or more of the many jobs I have applied for! Blessings to all! ABundance, abundance!

7. Had a big heave ho in shift, and today i am wiped :(

such a big positive deal yesterday to change our names and make that shift...and today i worked my fanny off
dealing with the lazy ass teenager bullshit, submitting applications, took laney to the doctor, and just LIFE...by the end of the day i had taken my son to the store on the way home from school (exhausting) and then had to try and find the right decongestant at the drug store...

my son was going on & on about a nutcracker and i was exasperated and telling him yes, i know, please be quiet so i can read the labels, again & again...finally i had to use my 'forceful, but we are in public' voice and tell him to stop so i can do my job and get this done... and this complete stranger cuts in and tells me "im sure you love him as much as you bark at him...' I told her it had been a long day and it wasn;t her business, and she started in on this "he has feelings,too' bullshit...
i left before i got any more nasty but i cried all the way home

i am doing the BEST I can and trying to keep my fucking head on straight, we don't even have lights for christmas and i don;t even know how we are gonna do presents, my last $20 went into the gas tank today...(my mom is helping out some, so i guess it could be worse)
The LAST thing I need is some BITCH who probably doesn;t even HAVE kids, much less POVERTY to contend with, telling me that i am a horrible mom...

:cry: I'm going to go take a bubble bath and then try to rally and make dinner...

[saracat]

10. Oh I am so sorry First Light. Some folks just don't know real compassion.

I wish you peace and joy especially this holiday season and know you are a wonderful mother no matter how a stranger may momentarily see you. Remember, they are projecting the sum of their experiences and it has nothing to do with you. But I am so sad they made you cry. I hope you are feeling better.:hug:

[get the red out]

8. Thank you, my niece has surgery on the 13th

My 3 year old niece, Amy, has eye surgery on December 13th for Strabismus. They will be operating on both eyes. This is her second surgery, poor little thing. Any prayers, thoughts, healing that you could send would be greatly appreciated. She's a doll and a big time hugger, though she couldn't understand why our puppy wanted to lick her on Thanksgiving, LOL!

[BlueIris]

9. Please send a little light toward the possibility that my local nat/organic food store

will continue to carry a full cache of Bach's Flower Essences. They were threatening to get rid of like, half of them, much to the chagrin of their customers and in store Flower Essence Master.

But there's hope. I talked to one of the ordering ladies about the situation, and she actually said that they hadn't made a final decision yet, because customer reaction was so grim. Also because their FE Master guy is pissed. She explained that it was also because the products are part of a set and they don't want to split up that set, finishing with the statement, "It's not always about the dollar." I was shocked when she said that. This is a store where almost no one ever says that.

I will be dropping a little note in their feedback box to explain my objections to their decision to cut their Bach's offerings. If someone wants to send some positive energy with it, that would be great.

[MorningGlow]

11. I would like to request a virtual pin, please

Woke up with what I thought was a backache, but I'm pretty sure it's a cyst. Haven't had one in a while, and I'm looking forward to it popping. Could sure use some assistance with that virtual pin. Thanks! :hi:

[FirstLight]

13. one little prick, coming up!

:rofl: I know, it's no laughing matter...but a little levity never hoirt ;)

:hug: here's to relief and just clearing those energies of ick

[MorningGlow]

14. LOL!!

THANK you! :rofl: :hug:

But I swear, if I'm accosted by some obnoxious parent when I go pick my kid up at school in 20 minutes, I'm blaming you! :P

[FirstLight]

12. claiming 12-10-10 cleantrain

i am claiming it out loud here...starting today, no pot till employment.
(also throwing in cigs and booze too, as much as i can help myself)

I need a job, need to be testable...so that's reason one
reasopn two is that I know my self destructive habits have me in a nasty rut
and reason three is that december/january/my bday always seem to be turning points...

so i am riding the wave of the season, claiming a better lifestyle for myself
soon i will be working out again too...i hope ;)
this morning it felt like i coughed up a lung
and as i put my remaining pot in a box and labeled it 'do not open till employed' i dropped half of it into the dirty sink ...d-oh!
so here i go... the evenings are usually my time to be numbing out
pray that i will stay away from the liquor store
no substitutions

I have wands to finish and books to read! ...and plenty of detox tea to drink! ;)

[MorningGlow]

16. Here's to the new you!

You can do it! :yourock:

[FirstLight]

18. afternoon...feeling funky

see, mary jane was so much more medicinal for me...and this funky feeling will have to pass, though it may take a few days. My appetite is all whacked, feeling queasy after eating, almost headachey, weird man

i kept busy all morning rearranging the living room so i wouldn;t focus on my body
then once i stopped i felt it all come on at once...

time to make some tea, and read or something to take my mind off of jonesing...
crazy man

[Missy Vixen]

15. My husband had a panic attack last night

Short backstory: He had his first panic attack two years ago about this time. He ended up in the emergency room. It scared the hell out of me.

This time, I had some clue as to what to watch out for, so there's that. I don't know what caused this one. I'm still trying to get to the bottom of this, and let's just say I didn't get a lot of sleep last night.

I need to make an appointment with the therapist for him.

Please send good thoughts, healing, whatever you might be inclined to.

-MV

[BlueIris]

19. Oh, no!

But, no offense...what caused it? Panic disorder is caused by neurotransmitter imbalances. Both short and long term medications exist to treat it. Psychotherapy may be appropriate as well, along with lifestyle changes, but I really cringe whenever I read of anyone wondering what causes the attacks. They're not caused by magic. Here's hoping he can get to a real doctor, ASAP.

[Missy Vixen]

22. He went to therapy

We found a therapist close to taking his licensing exam, still in school, and therefore, saw us for free for quite some time. He was under supervision by his instructors and the person running the therapy practice, so my husband got wonderful assistance.

Our therapist is now licensed. We haven't seen him for awhile due to the cost. Our therapist and Mr. Missy Vixen preferred he not go on long-term medication for a variety of reasons.

The last panic attack was two years ago. I believed there was a triggering event because there hasn't been one for so long.

24. I need motivation.

I don't feel like doing much.

I've never been a real energetic person due to my thyroid problems, but I wish I was motivated to do things.

25. So very beautiful...

that picture speaks to my soul. My invincible summer vacillates between spring and winter. I am blessed to be here. I pray for better times...for me, for all. Thank you! :hug:

26. Request for prayers & positive energy:

I applied for graduate school. I sent in the online application & all the paperwork, & my wish is to start in January. I'm anxious to move forward with a new phase of my life. I am one of the long-term unemployed & need to make a positive change in my life. Thanks in advance.

[Sienna86]

27. Love and light to you

May you have all that you need to take on this new challenge of graduate school.

28. Thanks! eom

[rosesaylavee]

29. Request for positive thoughts and energy

Having an email exchange these past several days with someone I would love to work for directly ... he needs what I have to offer but I feel it would be inappropriate to come out and spell it out for him as there is someone already doing part of the job for him. What I would like is to have a contract job working on special projects for this person and being paid enough to cover quitting my current 'soul-crushing' job.

Please send your positive thoughts his way for him to make the leap of intuition required?

[Missy Vixen]

30. My husband got very good news today

I will post the nature of the news when he gives me the thumbs-up to do so. Needless to say, we're very excited!

[Oak2004]

31. Pray, please, for my ex- aide

My primary aide had become increasingly controlling, and would laugh or pretend she did not hear when I objected. Finally this past Saturday I asked a friend (who is also in a wheelchair) to support me while I drew a line in the sand concerning her "reorganizing" my house into a state of never ending chaos (I would try to organize, and since I haven't the stamina to do it all in one fell swoop, would do what I could and leave the rest until the next day. And then, before I woke up in the morning, she would "reorganize", for example, papers that had been sorted into three piles back into one pile, then stick them all somewhere I couldn't find them. Or move shelves I had made (boomerang shaped, to fit my late 50's early 60's bathroom decor), and was merely waiting for the energy to hang, somewhere I couldn't find them. Or move my saw, as I built my new desk, well out of reach so that I couldn't continue).

Her reaction Saturday to the line-drawing was not just grossly out of proportion to the conversation, it was nearly violent. She threw things around, dropped the f-bomb, and swung at my friend with some frozen food, pulling up at the last moment.

Nonetheless I told the VNA I was willing to meet with her and her supervisor to try to resolve things (I know I've flown off the handle in my life and, given some time to think, come to the conclusion I was an ass and had to make some big apologies, so I was willing to give her the space to come to her senses). She arrived early, tried to come in before the supervisor (it had been agreed they would come together), was angry and sullen, denied she had done anything wrong, and refused to acknowledge that I had the right to set boundaries at all. Finally, I had to say that I did not see any way to resolve this (and frankly I would have been afraid to be in a room alone with her gven the anger that was just dripping off of her. My friend and I have been cleaning up a lot of orange/yellow goop around here, and I don't mean the kind of cleaning one might use Ajax for).

But she didn't exactly leave. She spent the better part of the day hanging out in the laundry room on my floor, directly across from my friend's apartment (yet another room in need of cleaning, this time not just of angry yellow and orange goop, but also blue goop. Neither of us know what to make of angry blue goop -- invisible nasty blue goop isn't anything either of us have seen before-- anyone here have a clue?).

At that point I and my friend didn't have much of a choice. We had to call the police and file a complaint. In the meanwhile, my casemanager, as a mandatory reporter, filed an adult protective services report against her, as did my friend's casemanager.

This may seem like a peculiar statement, but for all this I still really like her, and think she is a good person. Unfortunately, she is a good person with issues that might lead to her being banned from the field, or even charged with assault, as a result of her recent behavior.

It's not possible (or desirable) to make her get her act together, but it is certainly possible to throw someone a million lifelines, should they choose to grab hold of one. Please throw her some lifelines.

[OneGrassRoot]

34. You never cease to amaze...

in so many ways.

You are one person I don't think I'll ever worry about. You really have it together, Oak2004, and I admire you tremendously.

While I'm sorry you went through that (and have multiple colors of goop to contend with), you know how to set your boundaries, speak your truth and take action when necessary. You have incredible strength...and compassion.

I do wish the best for this woman. I hope she chooses to reach out and grab a lifeline. Regardless, you most certainly did your best for all concerned.

:yourock:

:hug:

[MorningGlow]

38. How kind of you to worry about her

when she's the one inconveniencing and frightening YOU. That is true compassion. Lifelines to her, certainly, and peace of mind to you, Oak.

Blue is the throat chakra--communication. Seems like there are things she wants to say but won't/can't. Does that resonate? :shrug:

33. What a lovely image, Missy. Thank you.

Asking for love and light for my nephew who continues to struggle with his leukemia treatments, and will be in the hospital through Christmas. Also light for his family, as this must be such a strain for them, particularly now. And light to his little brother, who I expect must feel both overlooked and guilty (they used to fight all the time).

Everyday I pray for the universe to bring Trevor appetite, stamina, strength, joy, and hope.

[OneGrassRoot]

37. Bless Trevor, and his family....

I'm so sorry your family is going through this. :( When a young person is ill...it can be almost too much to bear.

I absolutely pray that his treatments not only are easier, but are miraculously effective very soon!!!

:hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:

[Callie McAllie]

57. Thank you all for your good energy

Trevor was released from the hospital this week. They discovered that in addition to the leukemia, he had "Valley Fever" which is unique to Arizona, where he lives. They were able to treat the fever, and so could send him home for Christmas.

Please, universe, continue to send Trevor appetite, stamina, strength, health, joy and hope.

[OneGrassRoot]

39. Calling forth support, assistance (and relief) in multiple areas of life...

Good vibes sent toward relieving/releasing pressures -- with grace and ease -- are most welcome and appreciated.

Thanks muchly. :)

40. exhausted and emotional... maybe pms, but just. so. TIRED

This week has been like running the gauntlet in so many ways, ending with a HUGE push through the last 2 days with Girlscouts and being snack mom & helper last ngiht and then having to bake till midnight for the kids' cmas party and school performance...

i'm honestly wiped so i am sure it has to do with the melting down. but of course thru it all my teen is testing me to see if i meant what i said when i put down boundaries last week. and yes, i ended up today just pissed and stressed and dealing with his bullshit again. unfortunately my mom is one of the people i vent to (gotta stop that) and she uses it as a reason to tell me basically i suck and she thinks i am being a bad parent. and that5 she is not going to help me out anymore if i put my foot down with my teen...total emotional blackmail. AND she is saying things like "well i did all that school stuff too, that's what mom's do" well sorry mom, you weren;t single you had a house all bought and paid for and a man to support you, apples & oranges, babe. (and all those years i had to deal with a drunk asshole father because you didn't want to do it alone...it was too hard to imagine, huh?)
so all my childhood shit is being thrown in my face and all i am trying to do is keep the house in order, get christmas pulled off and figure out how to survive the rest of the month
my sister gave me some really good advice: stop talking to mom, step back and love my son and tell him how important he is to me...

i just need some support and to be told that I am not a failure NOW because I had a kid at 21, or remarried to a loser, or cant find a job...

i guess my mom won't be helping me out with the kids this winter break, not gonna ask her for anything.I'll make due with play-dates and trades with my mommy friends, cuz they are the ones who truly support me...

[japple]

41. Dear First Light, I ask the Universe to send you a warm blanket

of soothing, calming energy. I'm so sorry you are hurting right now. Christmas is such a hard time for so many people, and I hope you can find support from your other mommy friends. Your sister's advice sounds solid to me. Just remember that you are a valuable person, you are loved, you are a child of God. Even if you get frustrated with your children, even if you smoke cigarettes, even if you are on AFDC, you are a beautiful soul, so shine your light, sister, and show your beauty to the world.

Peace and love,
judith

[Fire Walk With Me]

43. I could use some light, please.

Some of the people who have hurt me before are interested in doing it again. Myself, I prefer peace, but there you go.

51. I'm having issues. My favorite brand of flower essences, FES,

has decided to change the formulas of their products and it has, for me, made them less effective. This is wrecking my holiday spirit and general good faith in the Universe. I have always been able to trust them, and now I feel like they've let their customers down in a big way. Huge. My angry soon-to-be registered letter has gone through several drafts, and it still doesn't capture my frustration and unhappiness.

Also, I'm really feeling the pain of disappointment over our political situation. Really depressing. So, some light for, er, acceptance, would be helpful.

[FirstLight]

56. acceptance

...it ain't always an easy path to walk, is it? :hug:

blessings to you and love and light to surround you...so that you can articulate your needs and have them met. and so that you can perhaps find an alternative to your medicine...

52. I am posting to ask for prayers and healing for a dear friend

who I just learned yesterday has been in the hospital since December 6th with pneumonia. This is a friend I know online. Several of her friends noticed that she was missing, not posting, and we began to search out why. This, we found, after I started calling hospitals in her city yesterday, is why. She is recovering from pneumonia in the critical care ward of a large hospital in a large city in the Pacific Northwest. I spoke with her today for a few minutes on the phone. She sounded weak and tired, although boosted in spirit by knowing that there are those who love her enough to seek her out in the midst of this crisis. She could use some healing energy to help replenish her strength. Please send light. She is open to receive. Thank you all.

[FirstLight]

55. wow...

really good detective work as well, she is lucky to have such caring friends...

sending light in her direction, seeing her lungs clear and her breathing easy...
:hug:

[Silver Gaia]

59. Thank you, FirstLight.

She is still in need of help, so anyone who can, please send healing light. She has been in the hospital for almost 3 weeks now.

62. Help! ...flu relapse, not good :(

so a lest the flu-crud backed off in time to have a couple days of feeling better and spending c-mas with family...

now it is back and trying to hang on ...bad cough, gunk in my head, etc. I should go see the doctor, but i don;t really want to hear anything about my blood pressure either.

please help me get over this asap - i actually may have a job call back this next week after new years and i need to be ready!

...(on top of it the period from hell is making me want to curl up and cry :(...)

[Silver Gaia]

65. Sending you warmth and healing light.

Feel better soon!

(I know what you mean about the period from hell... it really has been, hasn't it? Maybe we can move forward from there now.)

[lildreamer316]

66. Requesting support to not worry!

I can see that the Universe keeps putting this test in front of me,and the only solution is that I completely stop 'borrowing trouble' and live each single day as it is. Of course this is hard to do. This also means i have to trust that it will all be ok and that everything is going as planned. This trust - in myself, in the Universe, in the Law of Attraction - is very hard for me. If you could send some support so that I can attempt to keep myself in a positive frame of mind, it would be greatly appreciated. I know that's the key, but it's hard not to sabatoge myself.

Thank you, friends.

[OneGrassRoot]

67. I'll join you....

Especially after reading BanzaiBonnie's post about the "program" -- I call it the hamster wheel program -- I choose to release that.

I stopped trying to understand this particular life experience (the hamster wheel) a while ago, and released that Virgo aspect of my personality to understand every single thing in life.

So, now I will join with you in reminding myself to release all cycles and patterns, release a desire to understand (some things just ARE), not worry, and stay in the moment.

For this moment in time, we are fine, yes?

All is well. Holding hands with you, lildreamer....:hug: :hug: :hug:

[Silver Gaia]

68. I hear you...

I come from, as my mother will say, "a long line of worriers." It is said of the women in my family that if there's not something to worry about, we'll create something to worry about. I had tossed this aside for many years of my life, but it has come back to me with a vengeance over the past few years.

I find myself thinking these days about how I used to have this sense of absolute TRUST at the center of my being. I used to BELIEVE with all my heart that all would be well, that I would be provided for SOMEHOW, that I would persevere and find a way through every obstacle placed in my path if only I believed that I would. I truly believed that IF I believed it, IF I focused on the positive, IF I could let go and BELIEVE, that I would be guided through to a clear calm space, then I WOULD BE. And it worked. It always worked for me one way or another -- as I said in another post, whatever I was trying to manifest in my life would not always come to me in the way I envisioned it, but I KNEW that if I trusted, if I focused, if I put the energy out there, that it would come back to me in some positive way. It always did, and I felt blessed.

But somewhere along the way, I have lost this trust. Maybe it was a part of my youth that I set aside when I entered my fifties, for one reason or another. Maybe I began to think of it as being too naive. I don't know why for sure, but my way of thinking became a fear-based way of relating to the world around me a few years ago. When the economy went belly-up in the fall of '08, it reached a pinnacle, and I spiraled downward through a morass of mistrust, self-doubt and gut-wrenching FEAR that I had lost my way, made all the wrong choices, failed somehow to do something I was supposed to do. Maybe it was a product of living through the Bush years with fear in the pit of my stomach every damn day, and listening to those who only helped to grow that sense of unease and wrongness. I even felt, at times, that I had somehow landed in the wrong universe, that somehow I had missed a beat and been transferred into an alternate reality that was not mine. Seriously.

I KNOW that what I have to do is move beyond this once more and find my way toward trust again. I must embrace myself, believe in myself, believe in my power, OUR power, to effect change at the individual level that will manifest at the collective level. I have to come back to that core of being that has sustained and supported me through so many difficult times in my life. It is still there within, but I have allowed FEAR and mistrust to rule me for far too long now. It is a simple thing -- to BELIEVE and to TRUST, so simple that it seems far too easy. Yet it is the one thing I have battled within myself for the past few years and have found blocks at every turn.

When we focus on the negative, that IS what we attract and help to create. I firmly believe this at my core, yet I have allowed negativity to wind its tendrils into my heart. I am willing, and KNOW that I must, let go of this negative outlook. We must re-train ourselves to focus our energies on that which we wish to have happen, in the sure knowledge that when we do so, we are creating a positive outcome for ourselves and others. Or at least, this is what I see I must do for myself.

So, I am just saying (in a lot of words) that I hear you, I stand with you, and I lend my energy to your battle with worry, negative thinking, self-sabotage, and fear.

My girlfriend and her family were sitting in the living room, and a tree crashed into their house and took out the kids bedrooms, bathroom and garage... five mins earlier and they would have been hurt or killed...

while we thank god they are okay, they are now homeless. They were renters, and cannot even go into the house to retrieve things from the other half of the house until the city declares the place safe to enter...

Please send healing and peace for them as they make this transition. We will be doing some community charity events to help them, but the trauma is the part that needs healing as well...

thanks :hug:

71. Requesting Prayer for My Mom...

I'm in a hospice house with her. I've taken leave from my job to see her through this. She is having trouble breathing and is experiencing anxiety because of it. She has terminal breast cancer that has metasticized to her bones and lungs. She was fighting the meds but I'm helping her at least try them, and she needs someone with her because she gets scared and starts deteriorating really fast when she's alone. She thinks Jesus is going to miraculously heal her - and he well may. She knows there's nothing more the doctors can do for her, so she's being realistic that way. I'm just requesting prayer that she either gets her miracle, or finds peace. Thank you.
