Salad for Breakfast

Five cooked beets. Tofu. Sliced water chestnuts. Oil and vinegar. Slices of pickled yellow hot pepper. Organic romaine lettuce from home. Topped with $2.50 a can leftover whole kernel corn (organic, non GMO--almost all corn is GMO, that is why it costs so much).

That was my breakfast for today. Followed by a small strawberry Yoplait yogurt, with real sugar.

And a double Keurig cup serving of Paul Newman Organic coffee in my mug. That is what I had today at work before I came home.

Why am I sharing this? There was a time when anything other than cereal or pancakes or other breakfast food would have been UNTHINKABLE. For sure, when I am in Vegas or Hawaii and there is an asian breakfast option I'd take it. But other than that, it was morning food as a rule for me.

I read the book, 'Skinny Bitch', a pro-vegan movement publication. I tried to satisfy myself with just fruit for breakfast like they recommend. Sometimes it works. But as a mother with a son who likes pancake wrapped sausage on a stick from the microwave, it was hard to find something that worked for both of us.

Today is a step towards ascension. I break all attachment to my expectation of what breakfast ought to be. I make a hybrid salad, some from the salad bar at the cafeteria, and some from home that is organic. It was leftover from last night. The oil and vinegar would have leaked out the box on the way home. So I ate it.

I FEEL TERRIFIC! No sugar spike or rush for me.

Everything is new. As we ascend, our body will begin to have different requirements. Part of the increase in vibration. When we take Karuna Reiki (TM) it is common for people to start making healthy changes in their lives, instinctively. For me, a change was noticing how I felt after the two chile rellenos I ate at lunch. I didn't enjoy it as much. Couldn't finish it. And after I burped it up through early evening, I knew, 'that's it. No more chile rellenos at work for me.'

The changes that are taking place are all around us. You may notice you are uncomfortable with things that used to be okay with you before. This is what is expected. Your compatibility with activities and ingesting things that are of the lower vibration are not going to feel as welcome to your body as before. And that is a good sign that everything will happen at the right pace. Try your best to welcome it. And rest. Drink lots of fluids. Get some sun without any artificial sun creams to block out the UV light. Only ten or fifteen minutes is enough. It will spark your energy system, your auras (there are many layers, more than one that surround you) and your chakras will clear of any imbalances if any that are present.

There is a Facebook Friend of mine, Mystic Hopi Pleadean Fairy, who keeps making statements about the diet that is acidic and its link to cancer. Try to tune in on 'what resonates' with you when you encounter information like that. As an Intuitive Physician, I grin. They are so off-base and inappropriate it is humorous! Cancer originates from imbalance in the energetic system. In Thought. It might be attached to your DNA from your ancestors. But once the imbalance proceeds to the physical, it is shouting a message to you to correct what is 'wrong' in your life: an energetic disruption. Any medicine and treatment to this effect, to cure what is wrong in both the physical and the Mind/energy/Spirit are of effect that is beneficial to the sufferer of this fate. By the way, making statements like MHP Fairy's on the internet makes one at risk of practicing medicine without a license, that is, giving medical advice without specific training to do so.

A baby was born with amazing Spirit yesterday. One with really open eyes and full awareness of the mother. It was very intense. Another Spirit who incarnated to assist on the Ascension. There are lots of books and video clips about such Old Souls. They are of many names, Indigo Children, Starseeds, Rainbow Children, Crystal Children, and the like. You might want to learn about them. There are excellent books by Doreen Virtue on this. They need our support to make it to adulthood unscathed by the status-quo. They are here to change it. For example, my boy is a Crystal Child. Amazing eyes, with super long lashes, and very wise. He has faith in UFO's, sees past lives and remembers them, and can heal. One morning I woke up with stomach pain that was so painful I could not get out of bed. I asked him to please give me Reiki. He laid his hands on my abdomen, and in under five minutes, I got up and was able to make both of us breakfast. I see them, every day, the new ones, coming to Earth as they are born at the hospital. Cherish them. And help them find themselves enough to lead the way.

A wonderful era is just starting...

Namaste,

Reiki and Cancer

What is different about this cat? Look very close.

Does it look right?

Or is something a little off?

This is from a local art show, and is a cat painted onto a large river rock stone.

One needs to look beyond the immediate appearance to appreciate its true form, and in a rock's case, it's true strength.

So is the same with patients with cancer.

"Treat everyone around you as if they are going to die tomorrow. Be kind and caring. Open and honest. And loving, as much as you can, for they will leave the earth knowing they are not alone." That is my motto for all of my extremely ill patients, especially the cancer ones. It is instinctive. It is to my core, and it goes a long way back to my first days in medical school to the hospital.

For some reason, I adore taking care of my cancer patients. And over the years, I find that they respond well to me. Add Reiki to this interaction, and it truly, truly allows a transformative experience for both the doctor and the patient.

Here are some steps to take when dealing with your cancer patient in your life:

1) Listen

One of my first cancer patients was a young teen with a lesion on the scalp. The dermatologist found it was cancer. Imaging showed it was from a large mass inside the head coming out. This patient was confused and perplexed by the medical system. 'Do you walk into walls?' the neurosurgeon would ask.  "What kind of stupid question is that?" she relayed to me. She also had a terror of seeing the operating room, and made me promise not to let her know what it looked like inside. At a world famous children's hospital,, they routinely have the older  kids walk unassisted to the OR. They are not knocked out like everybody else. When she wanted to walk to the restroom, I let her. But then I titrated anxiolytic to effect. Because of her seizure medications, it took more. Four times the normal dose! But it worked! And she trusted me so much, I was personally requested for her anesthesia for every case. I am still friends with the family, and even though this dear soul passed, I have her picture in my house in her cheerleader outfit, I enjoyed working with her so much.

2) Admit that you are not perfect

These people have been through the medical system. A lot. Find out what they need and what has worked for them. And GIVE IT! Even though it is not your usual style. The openness and caring that you want to make a special experience for them is the message that you want to send. They truly are your best customer. In several cases, that short time in pre-op is the most normal they will be in their lives again.  These patients will soak up your compassion like a sponge, their families too, and it is right for it to be like this.

3) Be honest and let love flow from your heart

"The doctor's job is trying to amuse the patient until they get better." is an old saying that is mostly true.

These patients are going for a cure or to relieve their symptoms from the cancer that will ultimately kill them. Be real. Be grounded. Be kind. For your kindness goes a long way with them in their battle for their life. Everyone, most everyone they have met and are going to meet will in some way find out about you if you do your best as you do your job for them. It will be like, "I went through this horrible surgery, but the anesthesiologist was so nice and I had no pain or nausea." when they talk about the experience to others.

4) Reiki, Reiki, Reiki...

There are two kinds of Reiki-1) a continuous source of Reiki to others and 2) formal Reiki, or in my case, intentional O.R. Reiki on the not so obvious to others in the O.R.

Set your soul on POSITIVE. Keep it that way. Your cheerfulness is an anchor to others in an otherwise traumatic situation for them. Be a leader. Show them you are comfortable with this procedure and the anesthetic. Reassure them everything will be okay. And in truth, even if the cancer leads to death at some point, you know that you will have balanced their energy patterns as each individual needs, and moreover placed the transition symbol into their aura to permit a safe passage to the end of life and beyond.

5) Follow up

Patients like to see you after. They have something to say. I know that you are busy as an anesthesiologist, and time is short in between cases. But, if you have the time, and do so, your visit to them afterward will bring closure to you both. Let them have their say on how their experience was with the anesthetic. The encouragement and support offered at this time is blessed. Most blessed. Over all.

It is my hope that these words shall encourage you in working with your cancer patients. I had one yesterday who was post-chemotherapy and still had good veins! But a portacath and no hair. I blessed her when I gave Diksha during surgery, and held her head in my hands with my heart. 

"Is it over?" she asked, puzzled, in the recovery room. 

"Yes, it is." I reassured. 

"Wow, those drugs sure worked. The only thing I remember was in the pre-op room talking to you."she said surprised and with good emphasis on the not remembering part.

"That's exactly how it is supposed to be." I smiled, linking my right  pinky finger in hers, verifying with my pinky promise that I did exactly what I said I would do for her.

Happy Aloha Friday and Namaste,

Reiki Doc
