The Dark Side

Embrace your dark side's point of view. Hear its insights, validate its feelings, assimilate all your darkness has to offer. 

Your dark side has its feet on the ground. It gives you your capacity for compassion. It allows you to forgive. It is your broken heart. Start by considering that we are all mirror images of each other. Don't allow yourself to deny it. No exceptions. Start by looking at yourself. Get real. No make up. No clothes to dress it up. Think about your cells, your bones, your blood, your waste. 

Only when we know that the seed of great evil lives in every one us equally, can we stop comparing so as to include and exclude, deny and admit, punish and praise. Then and only then do we really have a choice. Not between good and bad. or right and wrong. Not because we should or shouldn't. Just because we have a choice. We are not compelled. We are free.

What if I told you that doing evil is very rewarding? That it is thrilling? That it is fun? Do you still choose the path of kindness? What if I told you there is no hell? No heaven? What if I told you Karma is just a story somebody made up to control the masses? What if you could get away with anything? Everything? What would you do then? Would you still choose to give and not take? 

You are as capable of hatred as love, of judgment as of mercy. You are not one or the other. You are both. You have a choice in every moment. Never pretend it is not so. Be honest about the choices you make. When you embrace your dark side, you become whole. When you are whole, you will never judge another person. Nor will you ever see yourself as a victim. 

Feet On The Ground

Sometimes I am struck by the tendency of spiritual-minded people to get their heads in the clouds and forget that their feet are on the ground.

In fact this tendency irritates the shit out of me. I want to call myself Rose, The Reiki Bitch just to make a point. You can't deny yourself and remain authentic. An authentic human being is a complex mixture of animal and spiritual beings. To attempt to separate these dimensions is to deny your life.

It is our job to embrace our life. And our life is in this world, not apart from it.

A Good Morning For An Attunement

It's a good morning for an attunement. I woke up refreshed and alert, and my hands are alive with tingling energy. My attention is focused on giving an attunement, and the energy is building around this purpose. It feels good to be in full Reiki mode.

Namaste.

David

My friend David is dying. The brain cancer is again spreading and he has accepted that his walk is nearly at an end. David has been an inspiration to me, as I know he has been for many others. His book, "You Don't Have To Die When Your Doctor Says" (he didn't) is a great gift he has given to the rest of us, especially those who have received a terminal diagnosis. I am sad to lose David. His life has been a blessing.

Wow it's been a long time since I posted here. I have to admit, the pain in my own body took my attention away from many things. It was also tiring. Repeatedly, my friends sent me distance healing, and the pain went away, only to come back the next day, or whenever I was foolish enough to use my arm again. Tendonitis is a slow healer, no doubt about it. But along the way these past couple of months, I've made some progress on dealing with arthritis.

The herbal supplement formulas are helpful. I've tried Inflameze from Mother's Cupboard Nutrition and EnFlammend. I think the EnFlammend is better. It's also possible to eat a less inflammatory diet - less meat, no junk! and lots of green foods and fruits. Also apple cider vinegar and a green food supplement, like chlorella seem to help. I also find that a supplement called CetylPure makes a difference. It lubricates the joints. I can tell the difference. Taking Flax Seed Oil in supplement form is also helping.

It sure feels good to be able to walk again! Arthritis is nasty.

Alrighty then!

So, I put it out to the forum and I haven't had any answers yet, but on my own I seem to have broken through whatever was blocking me from doing my self-healing. It seemed to me like I had to shift my consciousness out of the pain-awareness and into my higher self awareness, my observer self, and then the energy started to flow. It was very good to feel the pain easing. Yay!!!

The dilemma of self-healing

When I am not consciously trying to heal myself, things just heal. In the course of healing others, without deliberation on my part. My cataracts dissolved on their own. My leg got stronger. It just happens on its own. But when I am injured, as now I am injured, it seems no effort on my own behalf makes a difference. Other healers have said they believe we healers should be able to heal ourselves. Yet it doesn't seem I can do it.

My arm continues to hurt. It's so painful so continuously that it has begun to affect my mood. It's getting on my nerves. The pain reminds me of the sciatica I used to have years ago in my leg. It is really difficult to endure, and it seems like everything I do just aggravates it more.

So I can't help but wonder if there is something I am doing wrong. And why is it so easy for me to heal others, but so difficult to help myself?

I will put it to the forum and see what others say.
