The Mouse House



Yesterday I went to the Happiest Place on Earth.

There was a birthday, and my family and I went to have a day with no day-to-day concerns. Today I realize what important breakthroughs came to me through having fun. Now I wish to share them with you:

1) The Miracle of Here and Now:
Check in time is three o'clock. Check out time is eleven a.m. Rules are rules. Right? Not when you listen to the person you are with. We got a seven a.m. check in, plus an early entry to the park.
Next time you are sure about 'the system', go ahead and try for what you want. It may happen!


2) The Miracle of Wonder:
I noticed myself smiling as we ran from ride to ride. Why don't I smile like that every day? I thought to myself. I was laughing, and smiling, and in Heaven On Earth. At the Birthday Celebration, the  host Pat E. Cake had the children in stitches, he was so funny! Mine has not laughed like that in years.
This is our natural state. We came this way as babies. Why on Earth did we ever lose it?


3) The Miracle of Enough:
As we signed up for the Birthday Event, we were instructed to stand in a line. There was no shade, and someone in my family can't tolerate the heat. We were allowed to stand near the sign-up desk under a canopy. Even still, due to the heat the loved one had to be squirted with the fan/squirt bottle every three minutes. When the line queued up at the entrance, the woman at the head of the other line hissed at me, snarling, 'we were here LONG before you!' I was shocked by her three-dimensionality! There were plenty of tables and cakes and time with the characters for all.
Competition is so last week! Seriously. Helping one another along the way is 'in'.


4) The Miracle of Friendship:
A friend of mine frequents the park, and had made plans to be there yesterday. She has triplets. Two of them are special needs children. After the Birthday Event we met up, her family and ours. She is a dear friend whom I do not get to spend much time with. I was delighted to spend time together. What I did not know is that special needs get a front-of-the-line pass. We got to go too. This facility is adept at handling the special needs, and making everyone feel welcome.
No wonder it is inclusive to all at the Happiest Place On Earth; there is Enough for everyone to have fun!


5) The Miracle of Hope:
I began the day with the wish that one day, there would be a special button for the Make-A-Wish guests at the park so that everyone would welcome them and offer kind wishes and express appreciation to the dying individual, the same way cast and fellow guests extend Happy Birthday wishes. There are many there, as a physician, I can spot them, although most can't. I send Reiki.

Then I spent time with the triplets, who are surviving micro-preemies that are about the age as my son. The first is ambulatory, doing classwork that is two years ahead, but with impulse control. The second is hearing and mobility impaired. The third is non-verbal, hearing impaired, and non-ambulatory.
My friend had fast passes to a new ride at the neighboring park that had up to six hour waits. I had planned our day away from the crowds, although I wanted to see it too. My friend brought us over, and let me take her place on the ride. I sat next to the most impaired one, and helped her sit while her dad held up her head. And she grinned from ear to ear after the ride.
When we ascend to the fifth dimension, both of them will hear, and all three will walk normally!
I almost burst into tears at the beauty of that thought! Everyone who has lost a body part is going to get it back! We will be WHOLE again, and never get sick again!
The higher vibration of the fifth dimension is incompatible with illness and disability, which are very 3D.


6) The Miracle of Compassion:
A security worker stopped us from crossing the street in the  valet parking area of one hotel while we were trying to find our way to our hotel across the street. I don't want to get hit by a car either, but on our last ride, it was a water ride, and I got soaking wet. I am miserable and want to get back to my hotel as soon as I can. Thank you for showing me the sidewalk because I couldn't find it.
"Would you like a ride in the cart back to your hotel?" He asked.  Soon he was telling us about geology and we were at our hotel.
No true request is ever denied. I was absolutely miserable, and it touched the worker's heart.


7) The Miracle of Growth:
We never stop growing as a soul. I have a part of my soul, that is 'held hostage by the laws of this incarnation'. For some it is financial--no matter what you do, you can't seem to get it right. For me, it is matters of the heart. I fully have accepted that I am going to pass without ever having 'done right' on that one. It is my 'Loner-Humanitarian' assignment, just like Sylvia Browne has. Well guess what? Spirit showed me not one but two baby steps to take to get this part of my soul on the right track.
And I am taking them at the pace that I am ready.
There is infinite time left to repair the broken spirit. Everyone's progress is at their own pace. And yet, those of us with damaging scars left that are not physical, I suspect that life in the Fifth Dimension is capable of healing those scars in the same way as it does the physical ones.


Namaste,

Reiki Doc

Status Quo: Reiki on Living in The Moment

This morning I woke up at five o'clock in the OB Anesthesia Call Room. I had slept all night. I had wondered why they called the CAT team to the OR earlier. I thought of a CT Scan team, not the Emergency Response Team, at the middle of the night.

I set the alarm for ninety minutes. A full other sleep cycle. But at six fifteen, I was called emergently to a woman in labor who was going fast. Because of change of shift, I had to put away my iPad and Pillow, find my phone and wallet, stethoscope, pen, badge, and void first. I took the elevator up. Once at the room with my cart, it was too late. Back down.

Still in the moment, the new anesthesiologist came. We talked. I found out a lot more from this one, who is joining the group, about the politics in my group than I did being in it! Instead of being surprised, I stayed in the moment, and took the opportunity to inform myself of what was up. After, I ate my breakfast.

On the way to my parent's house, which is the opposite direction from the hospital to my house, I called ahead to ask if they would like some breakfast. My son enjoys McDonald's egg sausage biscuit and hash browns. No one picked up the phone. So I came over. Ever still in the moment, I found out my parents were not near the phone, and my son, on the computer, didn't bother to pick up. 'I'm sorry you made that choice,' I said to him, knowing that he heard my voice. 'I am not turning around and going back to Mc Donalds right now. We are going to have fresh strawberries I brought home with me first.'. So together we ate a whole carton of fresh organic strawberries.

When it was time to go to Mc Donald's, I could not stomach their coffee. I know I should drink 'the right tea' but I still enjoy my morning cup of coffee. The headache was coming on. For the first time in my life, I went across the street to the Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf. I bought a cappuccino, in a big cup. A little machine caught my eye. It was a single-serve espresso machine, with beautiful design. A man saw my quizzical expression, wondering what it was and if it was any good. He made me a cup. It was quick and cute, and very much like the machines they have in France. I have not been amazed by anything new for a long time! Next month they have forty dollars off for one week. I think I just might wait for that event!

Back at my parent's, we ate. And mom was ready to 'give me the tour'. We are a plant family, with much more care to the garden than most. I saw amazing flowers, taking lots of pictures, and got to take seeds. I also made a bouquet of seafoam and sweet peas. Mom didn't want me to go home, And my son wanted to spend the day with his cousin. It took a lot of diplomacy and tact to get myself and my boy out of there in time for his baseball practice at noon. We almost didn't make it. He had to change in the car. My blood pressure did not go up. I lived in the moment, leaving all expectation at the door.

What is my point?

Where you are is the one thing that always stays the same. You and your attitude. Everything else, all the situations, flows around you,, and you get to pick and choose your reaction to all of it.

Staying in the moment makes your communication better. It helps you reach deep inside, during that pause before you think how to react, and to know what you want and how you truly feel. Sometimes, like my son, you have to push a little. But for most situations, a simple explanation will suffice.

'Be Honest!' the director of the first preschool my son was ever at once told me, as I got all flustered over how to deal with the father of our son. We were in court then, and I was pushed to my limit. He has a temper, and I didn't want to set it off. I think she helped me more than the school ever helped our boy! I miss that school very much.

Be honest and direct in your dealings with others. It will take you far and keep you in the present time.

One day, that is all that will remain: NOW. Time is going away.

You heard me right. Time, if you haven't noticed, has been speeding up. And once it hits a critical state, it will cease to exist. Everything will be one great big moment NOW. How that will spell out is a mystery to me. Will our watches stop? Will planes get stuck in the sky? What if you are sitting on the toilet? Making love would not be so bad, I guess...but either way, our usual way of life is going to have significant differences from how we are used to it.

I was in a big crowd most of the afternoon. As I looked, the sheer number of people who are going to 'wake up' astonishes me. Each and every one of us that reads this, is going to have an effect on a number of people around us who are going to be confused by all the changes in their environment.

Someone has to explain them! There is a very good chance that if you are on this page, that when the time is ripe, that someone shall be you.

Live in the Moment. Just like I described in my day from waking up to the ball park. Then and only then will you have the strength of wit and soul to guide others on their Path. Reiki Doc is counting on you.

Namaste,
