Gaia News Brief 18.10.2014





Warning! I had a small outpatient procedure today. I had propofol, three hundred milligrams of it. I am not allowed to drive, drink alcohol, or make important decisions until tomorrow morning...but I can BLOG! LOL LOL LOL


An Insider's Look

This whole process has been a spiritual awakening and also will improve my compassion for my patients in my patient care.

Here are some random thoughts:

  • There was a small problem with the directions on the prep. My doctor, and his staff are Vietnamese. I was told to drink sixteen ounces of prep at six p.m., then to drink thirty two ounces of water one hour later. I did that and almost choked. This morning, at four a.m., after I took the sixteen ounces, the insert--I read the whole thing--said--thirty two ounces over the next HOUR.  Big difference. I did sixteen ounces each thirty minutes apart.
  • NPO for surgery is 'no clear liquids' two hours prior to surgery. I had no clue what a bowel prep involved! I will be more cautious in my patients with gastric motility problems because they are not really all that NPO.
  • 'Like a VIP'--once the front desk learned I work there, I got transferred to the billing man. He looked up with my insurance how much everything costs out of pocket. My insurance is super-high deductible. It's like not having insurance, in a way. I just get the lower rates that are contracted with the providers. I save fifty-dollars because I am an employee. I was really happy when he mentioned that. Then he said, 'we will give you fifty-percent off your deductible you owe!' and dropped the charges from twelve-hundred to six-hundred just for the facility (doctors and path will cost extra). I screamed with delight as if I had won the lottery. My son buys a lot of shoes...one pair every two months. Now I have enough for eight months!
  • I thanked the Universe. You see,  just last week I loaned a friend some money. And it was close to the amount I 'saved'. Someone is looking out for me, and I appreciate it.
  • SuPrep. SuPrep. SuPrep. It's way better than GoLytely and worth every penny. 
  • I am allergic to cats. REALLY allergic. I adore them and love them from a distance. On my 'allergies' I wrote CATS = BAD! BAD! BAD!  Everybody laughed over that. They asked, 'what happens?'  My eyes swell shut, if I touch them I get welts, and I get an asthma attack. It takes me one day to recover. Even when I take allergy meds. Humor is really good.
  • My anesthesia friend asked, 'Do you have any requests for your anesthesia?' I said, 'Yes please. No cats!' he cracked up.
  • The nurse, Nancy, recalled when I had a patient for GI and I was giving the anesthesia, who owned like ten cats and was talking about them as the anesthesia started to take effect. She was naming them all, and I was kind and gentle and encouraging her to share her happiness over her fur babies. Nancy looked at me and went,'You were like THAT when you have allergies like THIS?'  I smiled and nodded in agreement. I did.
  • The chicken and the i.v.   I don't have great veins, especially after a bowel prep. The nurses were hesitant to put in my i.v. because they know me, and also because I am the one they ask for help when they can't put them in. The charge nurse, Maria, came and said, 'they are CHICKEN!' we laughed and I told her to poke away until she got it, I won't get upset. She got it in the first try, a twenty-two gauge (blue) on my right hand.
  • Small iv's in small vessels are more painful with the burning from propofol than large ones. I never give lidocaine to numb the vein first to my GI patients, but I mix it in with propofol in the main OR for GA. My arm ACHED really bad for a long time before I went 'out'. I will use the local now.
  • right as I started to 'fade out', I heard Ross. He said, 'Come to me!' I did with total peace and a huge smile.  He told me later it was the first time he talked to my soul like that, and I willingly came, with all of my dimensions. He said it made him feel 'like a king'. I said, 'you ARE my king! In every way, honey.' He said it feels really nice.

Sandalphon

I was resting on the back porch swing, and I noticed the presence of an angel. It was Sandalphon. I recognize the hair. And the wings! I asked, 'What are you doing here?!'  He said all of the angels wanted to give me a bouquet, and the asked him to represent them. It was beautiful with small red flowers I had never seen, almost like primroses. And they smelled beautiful.

As I rested, I also had the strange sensation of Ross working on me, my aura. I wish I could explain it better, because it is a dimensional thing, it's going to sound strange. I ask you to bear with me.

For those of you who have figured out our secret, this will make sense. For those of you who haven't, it's okay, it's not important for you to know, and just have patience for you will know when you are meant to know it.

Ross removed large patches of grey about four by seven or eight inches off me. They were about one half inch thick. There were several, and with each one I felt much better. The skin underneath was raw--in my Light Body skin, not my physical skin. When it came off it was like old wet newspaper like for papier-mâché. I heard them plop in a bucket. Others were in attendance, watching, supporting, and guiding, very quietly. It never hurt. The worst one was at the small of my back, where a tattoo would be placed. That one had troubled me for a long time.

They put a healing balm on all of the raw places and said it would heal on its own.

I know what each of those 'patches' is--it represents something you and I would know. So it's a good thing. A very good thing that happened for everyone today. Even for those who are most deeply asleep in the matrix.  It's all good.

Namaste.


Masaru Emoto

I knew he was not going to recover from his illness when I learned of it some time ago. I have clair cognizance. I only hoped it would be a while later, and when he and his loved ones were ready.

Today I got word he had passed.

His work, changed my life.

Every time you see the words 'Aloha and Mahalos' on this blog, they are from him. I only use Hawaiian--for his concept of 'Love and Gratitude'.

He said that 'Death is gratitude for a new dimension.'

His last word was 'arigatou'.

I'm going to miss him.

Read his books if you have the chance. They are life-changing.

P.S. Chef Ito says Masaru Emoto used to eat at Au Lac whenever he was in town. He loved it. Ito has pictures, but was not able to find them, when I was in his office the last time we spoke (well, he communicates non-verbally. I speak. <3)


My Boy

He found this quote at school. He felt a 'nudge' to look up the word, compassion.

I was impressed he has been 'listening' to my talk as I do all of this spirit work.

Today, at Del Taco, we bought him breakfast so I wouldn't have to cook. I made the lunch. He waited to eat so I wouldn't have to smell it in the car, because I was hungry!

I called the school once I was home, to let him know I was okay. The school was kind, and let him speak to me on the phone. It meant so much to him. He kept asking, 'Mom? One more thing...one more thing...' He didn't want to get off the phone. 

Ross told me he will be needy when he comes back. His mana Patrice is taking him to drum lessons, and she will bring him here with a sandwich for me, because I can't drive.

That's why I napped a lot, and also, wrote this now.

I love being his mother...



Ross

(Ross wants me to share his request--he asked me to put on my mermaid necklace he gave me. I had to take it off for surgery. I did, just now, with a smile. I really like it. She is a reminder of my Sirian roots.)

I asked Carla to put this on because she is special. Carla is half-Sirian, and half-Pleiadian, a hybrid, like I am.

Many of us don't give ourselves the credit we deserve on Surface Gaia. As Lightworkers and Ground Crew many of you are the 'best of the best of the best' to quote a line from the movie, Men In Black. (smiles) You think I don't know it, but I do. I've seen that movie too! I helped make it! I encouraged those who work int he film industry to make something that was against the 'horror from outer space that wants to probe you and kill you and skin you alive!' (he sounds like a horror movie voice to make a point). I wanted something Light and Playful, that makes the point that all of us can live together in peace if we can only get along.

Carla is like the character Laura Vasquez, played by Rosario Dawson. She didn't know it, but that movie awakened a part of her that was dormant years ago when she first saw it, long before she ever heard of Reiki. Yes, she too is like the character who had no clue of her importance in the cosmos.

You are like Carla too.

I want you to think about that for some time now. How you could have a double life, something that was hidden, and how you are going to react to the Truth when it comes out?

It is okay for you to be as stunned and surprised as Laura Vasquez! The important part is that once you are informed and aware, no matter what to do your part that you have been sent here to do.

No one can read Carla's work, and mine, without advance authorization. Nothing will 'make sense' to you if you accidentally 'click'--but for those of you who are meant, and most of you will notice a 'draw' to Carla's messages and my own, a 'calling'--you are in for a surprise of the highest order! One of magical, sweet delight!

So...hold on to your hats! as we say at the amusement parks and thrill rides.

Let the awakening begin!

Until next time...goodbye from the two of us, the Reiki Doc Twins,

And for Dr. Masaru Emoto? He is happy and delighted to have 'run his course'. The race is finished, and he placed FIRST and was beyond all expectations! He had a hero's welcome when he arrived. (I feel him, and he says Arigatou to all of you. Thank you for your love. I want to tell everybody thank you for your love. --he touches his heart. I am overwhelmed by the outpouring of Love and Gratitude, from both sides, here and there! For me it is one big party, the biggest celebration of my life! And I want to thank my loyal wife and friend, who shared my home, for so much time. I was blessed to have known her on my work. And for my students, colleagues and supporters? ARIGATOU! With love and gratitude-(he does gassho and bows)--namaste.--Masaru Emoto--live channeled message now.--ed)


Aloha and Mahalos,
Namaste,
Peace,

Ross and Carla <3

Something To Add: The 'Swollen Colon'



Something isn't right. And you want help.

Your friend recommends colon hydrotherapy. What do you do? Will you try it?

Well, I have a friend who does 'high colonics' or 'alternative medicine enemas'. She says she has had results personally, and before she had them, she had one bowel movement a day and 'didn't know she was backed up'. (The appearance of stool actually lets you know if you are having 'normal' bowel movements--here is a link if you would like to know--http://reikidoc.blogspot.com/2012/09/the-bristol-stool-chart-reiki-story.html)

Although she didn't like her first one, she kept coming back for the treatments. Her endometriosis cured completely. Her acne improved. She even had a message that her 'makes her throat swell up' cashew allergy 'was removed' and was now able to eat LOTS of those nuts.

So she became a therapist. Many of her clients respond well to the treatment.

The theory is that the bowel gets 'toxins' from the undigested food that gets 'stuck' in there, and that cleansing is necessary to increase energy and overall health.


Then she offered one to me. This was a telling moment because here I am Reiki Doc, and also a Board-Certified Anesthesiologist. Which way would I go?

I had fear.

I'd seen bowel perforations in the operating room. Instant colostomy bag, and perhaps six months later the patient can get 'reconnected' with another surgery. The long and short of it is that two pieces of bowel that are sewn together won't heal if there is any fecal material present--it has to be diverted away for the 'seams' to 'mend'; a perforated bowel is not sterile.

My intuition said, 'Don't let anyone touch you--you are in balance and everything is okay'. And after reading Wiki (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_colonic), I realized there are some irritants to the colon--and although by her success rates everything is 'safe'--I didn't think the benefit would be worth the 'risks' involved.

Instead, she listened to my concerns, and since it was heart to heart--basically--there is so much more to know to keep your clients safe and know you are doing the very best you possibly can for them--she wanted to learn.

this is EGD--through the mouth--there are no colonoscopy photos! LOL

So I asked my gastroenterology friend in the doctor's dining room where my friend should go to 'learn more'.

The response was fascinating! He said, 'Our patients, for studies, get the bowel prep. We irrigate too while we are doing the endoscopy. That bowel is Squeaky Clean when we are done. How come no one is having wonderful experiences and miraculous healing after our work?'

Here IS the miracle the gastroenterologist does--takes out the pre-cancerous growths

And this is why the whole 'miracle healing' is not happening--the 'chemistry' is not 'the healing vibe'!


What Reiki Doc Has To Say:

  • Gastroenterology--logical mind first, then heart--heals the body, but not so much the underlying 'Dis-Ease'. Keeps the body in 'imbalance' energetically, but alive. 
  • 'Enemas' in Alternative Care--go after the 'Dis-Ease', and treat the total patient. This also treats the patient with more than one exam every year or five years. There is emotional 'connection' with the healer who believes what they are doing 'works'. The idea of toxins just might be right, particularly if the client eats a lot of meat and GMO's.
  • I don't see why a busy GI Lab couldn't have a treatment room dedicated to 'spa like' therapy for the chronically constipated. Many people have 'motility' or 'functional' bowel ailments that can't be seen on biopsy. For example, studies point to irritable bowel patients as having delicate bowel that becomes painful when distended, although normal bowel easily stretches a lot.
  • I also don't see why we can't introduce basic medical concepts to the Alternative Medicine practitioners. Here are some examples: http://reikidoc.blogspot.com/2012/09/hey-healer-cooties-and-you.html
  • I think BOTH would benefit from the work of Louise Hay and Mona Lisa Shulz MD in their book 'All is Well'--the chakra is the third one--yellow--the one for the ability to have free will and act and DO! An affirmation for constipation is: As I release the past, the new and fresh and vital enter. I allow life to flow through me.
  • Daily Self-Reiki practice would also help balance the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual 'Dis-Ease' behind the abdominal discomfort too.
Everything working together, in my opinion, is going to work a lot faster than any one approach.

Aloha and Mahalos,
Namaste,

Reiki Doc

Colonoscopy Number Two



My friends in psychic development class contacted me about a month ago. 'Do you have a recommendation for a gastroenterologist? The orthopedic surgeon you sent me to was such a good match!'

Of course. I saw the list of names provided by insurance, and recommended about three who I thought would be a 'good match'  for colonoscopy.

My friend is really anxious.

My friend had a totally bad experience with 'conscious sedation' during the last colonoscopy. They had to cut the procedure short because my friend was so uncomfortable.

It took a lot of rearranging the schedules in advance and a lot of phone calls to make me available for the study. I wasn't sure if I could make it, but I got there on time, and the GI team was running late.

Then the GI doc wanted to take lunch. I was going to join him, but in the waiting room were my friends, the one to have the study and the other to drive home.  They had such delight on their faces at seeing me 'all dressed like an anesthesiologist', I chose to stay with them until the GI doc came back.

The nurses were flustered at the rush. It was because I had to be starting a case in the main O.R. in forty-five minutes.

My boss cut in ahead with his case first. The nurse invited me to insert an i.v. while she got my friend ready 'so she would feel more comfortable'.

Nurses like it when I start and i.v. especially when stressed. It is one less thing for them to do. (You should see the times they don't even try and just say 'it looks too difficult we left the veins for you!') Most of the time they put them in, though. I am lucky. They do it way more often than at my last work.

I got a twenty-two gauge in on the right hand with a quick wince from my friend, and a loud 'It's over!' by me.

Her friend came in and sat in the chair as I worked.  After I examined the patient and the patient records, as we waited and talked I gave Reiki.

At the feet, I asked, 'Do you mind if I touch your feet?' We do hands-off Reiki, as we were taught, but Spirit nudged me to lay my hands on the soles (plantar) and back (dorsum) of the feet. I got the okay.

It turns out there is peripheral neuropathy.

I  could even feel the bowel prep in the abdomen, there was a lot of discordant energy in the bowel as my hands hovered over the area.

Soon it was time to go. I had seen patients like this. Many times! I knew how much anesthesia to give. I knew how much the study was going to 'stimulate' (be painful) so I took her deep.

I had let the GI doc know it was ME that send my friend to HIM through my referral. So he did his best, and biopsied microscopic polyps and took forever looking every which way, although the study was technically difficult due to exceptionally long colon.

During the case I got two phone calls from the angry surgeon who badgered the front desk at main O.R. to find me for his next case. I also had my boss walk in twice, offering-sort of-to take over but then he would have been late for his next case. To the first, I said, 'ask my boss. He scheduled it. I am on a special request case. If you have to find someone else to start it' and to the second, 'I think I should finish this'.

It finally ended. I took her to recovery, gave report, hugged her ride and said everything is all right. But my surgeon is mad I me, I am fifteen minutes late, I have to run.

That ride is my reiki teacher.

She sent reiki to the surgeon in the O.R.

He did the fastest oncology case I have ever seen--with full node dissections--faster than a normal case.

He was on fire!

Thanks Reiki.

Later that night I checked on my patient with email messages.

Shortly after the procedure, my patient was doing the things they love to do, according to the ride. My patient emailed me too with a big THANKS!

I heard from the ride friend that around eight o'clock at night, her friend the patient looked at her and said, 'Reiki Doc is my HERO!'

I was so excited. My dream and my dedication is to 'turn things around' for people who have had traumatic experiences with invasive tests and surgical procedures.

My teacher said, 'you can check that one off your list!' and is requesting me for their next scheduled colonoscopy.

I am their private anesthesiologist!

Love,

Reiki Doc
