Hawaiian Longs Drug Store

Nowhere is the life of the local people more evident  than where they shop. On the shelf I saw Jellyfish Goo spray to ease the burning of jellyfish sting! A very large section of power bracelets and necklaces, including University of Hawaii logo ones, near the joint pain aisle. Just like the Kahuna days of long ago, with sophisticated  gourds with goose neck shapes to use for enemas, the digestive remedy aisle at Long's was packed from the floor to the ceiling with healing for the gut.

What surprised me was the wound care supplies--as stocked as a medical supply store back home, or like a cabinet at my OR--gauze rolls, kerlex wrap, fluffs, four by fours, ABD pads that are thick to absorb drainage, Vaseline gauze (xeroform), cling wrap, ace wrap, and every kind of tape.

A couple of things stand out--the section on Hawaiian tropical floral lotions, soaps, and fragrances. The aisles with local food items ...there are shelves packed with soy sauces and barbecue sauces as much on display as the stomach remedy section. There are Asian foods, the real ones, taking a whole aisle with noodle, candy, spices, and condiments. I look for the familiar Rooster Sauce I love, a red pepper dressing made by Sriacha, and I put it in the cart. We are at a friend's vacation home in Kapolei for one week, but I can't leave home without it!

On the way to dinner at a local favorite, Zippy's,  I wince as I see the brightly lit sign Kapolei Dialysis. Nearly all Chinese I know, including a close Taiwanese friend and colleague, have diabetes and hypertension. Am I the only one to make the connection between the chopstick, the hypertension, the diabetes, and the dialysis? This is a slow kill with the intent to extract as much moneyoutof the patient as possible before the end--and that is not cheap too, the funeral!i recall the times my friend took me to 99 Ranch Market deli, and how I did not share his delightin any way for the smoked duck...and other salty sweet delicacies.

I used to like Zippy's. Last year I got saimin bowl and was happy. This time I 'saw' the health on the menu with wide open eyes. My strawberry salad was not organic, the dressing was oily sugar, the vegan chili had GMO corn, and my last thing to go 'cheat' wafer thin single slice of spam. I love spam! Oh how I've missed it! I watched my boy have chocolate shake, New York steak, and corn. I kept glancing at the ninety pound preschool boy with the long Hawaiian hair, jumping in the booth across the way, gnawing ona malasada (Portuguese donut pastry), and with my doctor's heart, know he never had a chance to escape the island slow-kill plan of death by fork.

Mitraic symbols are rampant in the architecture. They built it up brick by brick so carefully, leaving the signs to pat themselves on the back.

When is everyone going to wake up? Big sigh. Until they do I'll just keep blogging.

Now it's time to make myself a cup, Organic Island Coffee cup of Joe.


Namaste,

Aesthetics and Ascension

Need to lose a few extra pounds? Got that 'tired' look going on around the eyes? Are you wondering what you can do about it?

Ascend!

Everyone who goes through the Ascension process is going to rejuvenate and go back to their best body that they ever had. It will be by choice. You can 'select' how you wish to appear. It is very simple.

I can change shape at will when I assist souls who are stuck in Crossing Over to the Other Side. I discovered it quite by accident. A classmate of mine lost their father while waiting for a heart to become available for transplant. The family was Jewish. This was back in the early days of my 'assisting', and I had never taken a psychic development class or anything of the sort. I just knew if I concentrated hard enough, I could 'see' where they were. I went into 'alpha', like I would do with praying the Rosary (I have said many!), or working on something I enjoy (like painting). There they would be. I helped my own Grandfather, and the best friend of my husband (when I was married), cross. So, out of compassion and love for my grieving friend, I lay down and started to 'look' for his dad.

I found him.

He was afraid of me, and pulled back. Surprised, I mentally asked him why? And although he did not say anything, I realized he was looking for someone from the Jewish Faith to help him cross. Instantly I changed form into a fat rabbi with a yarmulke and those little long curls in front of each ear. I wondered if this will work?

It did! I felt him relax immediately, and he reached out to my extended hand like a child! That was all it took. I place his hand into Our Lady's, and they disappeared at once!

As the holidays approached at the end of 2012, years later, I dreaded the five pounds that usually comes with it. I decided to 'think myself thin' as the 21st December was approaching. Secretly I hoped to 'transform' into my Light Body then and there. If I did, I didn't notice it!

But now I can fit into a pair of size eight jeans. On some level, it has worked. My friend showed me her brow lift yesterday after I asked about her two black eyes under her glasses. It looked good on her. But I laughed to myself, because with Ascension, I can be any age I wish. I can look my best. Without any scars and patches of numbness (she is numb above both of her eyes! sad, isn't it?)

The door rang. The cable man is here. He is about twenty years old, and an 'apple' shape. He fixed the cable and we started talking about my boy who is husky, and my trouble getting him to stop overeating. It seems emotional at times, because I am always at work. He had some advice, and also shared that at home he ate well, but with his twelve hour days as a contractor, he eats what he can on the road, and it is not healthy. He goes for 'the cheapest and biggest thing he can find'. Then he asked me about what I do, since I have long hours too.  Anesthesia always gets people to 'open up'. He started on his anxiety. It turns out he has a severe case of Obstructive Sleep Apnea that is untreated. His mother has it too. His 'anxiety' in reality is from hypoxemia. Desaturation makes you panic, for keeping you alive! With his permission, I wrote out a care plan, with all the medical jargon, and encouraged him to battle the insurance companies for his care. (Sometimes doctors are slow to refer to a specialist because of 'the system'.). He apologized for taking my time, and I reassured him I am 'doctor' 24/7, and I am always glad to help someone in need of medical advice. (I think we have solved part of the 'medical mystery' of the Patient-Diet-Surgeon connection, did we not?) And of course I referred him to Evita Ochel's Udemy e-course on Optimal Health ($35--a good bargain).

Remember, in Reiki, at the beginning, you are going to gain about ten pounds. This is typical because as the connection to Spirit and Source is stronger, the body has to compensate to keep you 'grounded' more. This will pass. As you increase in your Reiki training, your body will encourage you to make healthier choices. Yesterday at lunch it was Vietnamese food in the Doctor's Dining Room. We get that every Friday. I passed up the meat. It was barbeque pork, and I didn't want to take the health damage hit from eating that. I took the rice, doused it in sauce, added lettuce, sliced carrots, tomato, and cucumber and was happy through the rest of my day!
