Guidance On How To Cross The Finish Line With Grace And Ease

You are not incarnate forever.

One day the Veil shall be lifted.  You will understand ALL, and I mean EVERYTHING.

The Veil, uncomfortable as it is, has a purpose:  to help you to get to know yourself better than you would if you were NOT incarnate!

The secret of how to make the most of this is to take your Life Lessons for what they are--opportunities to awaken more and more of yourself.

I call this approach to DIG.  I discovered it with Byron Katie. I was absolutely miserable when Anthony was newborn. His father had left me at four month's gestation. Now he was back, but not for me--only for our son. I was falling apart. I bought something from one of my two favorite catalogs, I forget which one--either Isabella, or FeminineCreations.  As I called in my order, the lady on the other end of the line was moved after she heard my sad story. 'Have you ever heard of the work?' she asked. I hadn't. She sent me the Byron Katie book for free.

It saved my life.

Byron Katie 'turns it around'.  When I was going over and over in my mind how rotten Jared was for leaving me, and how he SHOULDN'T have left me--to apply her technique I would take it just the opposite.  He SHOULD leave me. Then you explore the feelings, and you grow.

It's incredibly liberating.

The reason I call it 'DIG' is because of my training in ballet. It's my love, and I adore it.  I have passion for dance, although you'd never guess by looking at me now. But in ballet, you stretch, you need your flexibility. And you push just a little bit more, when you are at your limit--and that last 'DIG' just when you can't take it any more...is how you get improvement. When you think you can't jump another jump and you do, it builds strength, endurance, and muscle memory. When you think you can't possibly stretch any further, but you relax and breathe through it--you get that stretch, your line improves, and you can do the splits.

In Spiritual Life, while we are on Earth especially, we have opportunity to build our Spiritual muscles in our heart...through forgiveness, through acceptance, through love. This applies to all living things, to ourself and to others.

Mother Teresa used to say, when people confided to her their problems, 'It is a gift'.

It really is. When you look at it through Spirit eyes.

Think about it. While incarnate on Earth, EVERYTHING in one way or another is a problem. The stapler gets stuck and you have to whack it on the side for it to disengage so you can do the next staple. Sometimes you have to even open it!  When you come home late at night post-call, and want to rest, the freeway exit to your house is closed, and you must go to the next one. Your body you live in has an expiration date like a carton of milk, and you AGE! You can't do the things you used to do, and you have to compensate and accept and grow.  My friend the cardiac surgeon called to me across the parking lot on Tuesday. I had just had a massage, and he had finished the gym. He was once  an olympic athlete. And he said, 'I can't do what I used to'. We talked about how our eyes don't work, we need glasses, and how we couldn't believe it when it happened --him at forty-five, me at fifty.

There is so much opportunity to learn.

An open heart is the easiest way to master your Life Lessons.

You aren't incarnate forever.  One day this learning opportunity (I think it's a way to really level up on the karma scale and boost your 'station' in the afterlife after being incarnate here on Earth) will be over.  Another one will take its place, but it won't be like here.  This is the fastest growth around, literally!  Once Duality is ended, and Time stands still, the format of Earth Academy is probably going to change.

We are SO VERY VERY VERY VERY close to the finish line--to be upgraded to 5D!

So next time something really gets to you, go ahead, lean right in, and take a look at yourself. WHY is this bothering you? Is it showing you a side of yourself you never knew you had, and were unwilling to acknowledge? Is it helping you have compassion for others? Is it perhaps something you are enduring so you may guide others who are in the same situation as you?

The possibilities are endless! So are your choices on how to navigate them!

There are no mistakes! Only Lessons! And you have all the time in the world to master them.

It's worth it!

So next time, think very hard about your goals, and when you face your challenges--DIG!

The end is in sight!

Turn it Around: A Tribute to the Work of Byron Katie

This video floored me with its sheer power of healing and Light and Truth.

So many times we get thoughts that nag us. They go round and round in our heads. They take away our peace.

Byron Katie is a person who lived a life full of addiction. She got herself out of her addiction by coming up with four questions. Every time she had a thought that would take over her day-to-day attention, she would ask herself these four questions. Roughly, they go:

1) Is this thought True?

2) Are you absolutely, positively sure that this is True. Is there ANY chance it could NOT be true?

3) How would you and your life be WITHOUT this thought?

4) Turn it around. Tell yourself 'The Opposite of this thought is true'. Can that be true?

Then you let go of the thought and you heal.

Yesterday I was woken up at five a.m. by a nurse whose patient had a history of paralysis from multiple fractures of the back. Although the studies, that were old, were normal, this patient was concerned about the pain of childbirth and wanted to know her options. Unfortunately she did not do the studies in the MRI her neurologist had asked so that he could give a recommendation to me where it would be safe to go. (Our usual entry point is L3-4).

I was struggling. here I am an anesthesiologist. I don't want to do the procedure. It is too risky for her. But she is asking. When I walked in she was just on the phone callling her friend to tell her she was in labor and it was time to give her Reiki and come. I knew they could be reasonable. But I asked Spirit for guidance on what would be best for her.

I shared about how my way of removing pain involves numbness and weakness. And that this is the same problem she had before with her injuries. It came to me in a flash--patients with neck fractures are positioned awake first before we operate. The  breathing tube goes in awake. Why? Because someone with a broken neck will never move in a way that will make it hurt worse. It's too painful. So I phrased it--'It is in the MIND. People who do labor natural have to WANT it. For you, the options I have for pain would make you at risk of moving in a way during labor that could hurt you worse and it could be permanent. You would not know if you moved in such a way to make the situation worse for your spine. You need to be alert and clear-headed to PROTECT YOURSELF from all nerve injuries that are possible in labor for you.'

I ran into the dad, who is a nurse, in the elevator. Once inside, I shared, 'Nobody here knows this, but I am a Reiki Master and a Karuna Reiki (tm) Master. I was connecting to Source to find the right answer for your wife.'

He smiled and said, 'I kind of got that vibe in the room from you. That is good. That is the way of the future in medicine.' I said, 'I know' and was glad.

What you have before you in this video is pure energetic healing. On a Soul Level, with the Mind. Byron knows the quirks of it. And she pushes the envelope beyond that of traditional counseling and therapy. Her having 'lived through her demons' gives her the compassion and credibility to do her work.

I read her book once a long time ago. When I was adjusting to being a new mother. A new single mother. It set me free. Seeing her work on YouTube is a gift. Enjoy it. And maybe you can follow her on Facebook.

Namaste,

Reiki Doc
