Healing 101: Do You See A Connection?

On of my favorite channels on YouTube is 'My Husband Is Japanese'. Rachel is a delightful redhead with a knack for 'saying the right thing at the right time' to keep you interested in the Japanese culture. She is very engaging, positive, and looks about as un-Japanese as you can get. Inside her heart, though, is pride and happiness at having discovered the love of her life, husband of three years, Jun. He is equally happy, although in a more, shy, polite, reserved Japanese way on camera. Together they make a wonderful source of information on the internet that has brought me great joy.

As a doc, when I saw Rachel had some heart problems, I had to listen. I will provide the link, and also explain a little more about the medical aspect at the end:

Pericarditis can be viral or autoimmune. The pericardium is a sac that holds the heart and protects it. There are two layers, and since it is alive, it creates pericardial fluid to cushion the heart. When it becomes inflamed, two things can happen--the most common is to create so much fluid around the heart that the chambers cannot fill (this is serious and a colleague of mine had a death on the table when a small amount of anxiolytic was given prior to induction of anesthesia, resulting in total cardiovascular collapse). Another kind of pericarditis is 'restrictive'--it actually shrtinks like shrink wrap around the heart, and it can't fill. It needs surgical removal of the pericardium to cure it. A pericardium is not necessary, and most cardiac surgeons do not close it after working on the heart.

I want you to think about the energies and the chakras and the emotions you are picking up from Rachel. Think like a Reiki Master on this. Go with you intuition.

And also take a smile at the feeling of being in your twenties on a cardiac unit where everyone is on drips and coding around you. I 'get that' one all too well....

Done thinking?

Now watch this:

Do you see the connection between her spirit and her heart, and her physical body?

They sound like Twin Flames, who are apart, or at least, Soul Mates with a 'mission' who have found each other once again.

I wish them both well, and hope that Rachel and Jun do not mind for their being shared here as a wonderful teaching example for the budding energy healers in all of us.

I hope you will be reunited again, for always, very soon. Three years is a long time to be apart once you have found your 'other'...

Thank you, internet Warriors, for sharing your Light on camera. Whether you realize it or not, your story is helping create World Peace, Tolerance, and Understanding for us all.

Namaste.

Reiki Doc

P.S. to Rachel and Jun, this is blog post number 1233. My 'one' is Japanese. I am white, like Rachel. We are still in the early stages, and he has not asked me 'out'. I am so glad I found you! (His favorite number is 33). I'll keep you posted...and thanks for al the help in being able to understand him. Aloha!

How To Honor The Goddess Within

Today was my day off. I had arranged for coverage so that I could visit my mother who has been in the hospital for 34 days, and just got out of the ICU.

I had to cancel my day off. I had a special request case--someone who was undergoing surgery requested my services by name. I don't recall having had anyone ask me personally, but I get special requests often. Many workers at the hospital ask for me to be there when they have surgery. I like to be there for them.

After the rest of my cases, I was stuck. Something did not feel right, inside. I did not know what it was.

I got in my car and went down to the beach. It soothes me. Even though it was freezing I didn't care.
I carried an old pirate shirt from a costume one of the kids wear to sit on because I didn't have a towel. I brought a box of tissues, too, because I thought I might have need of it. And my keys and cell phone, of course.

Just seeing the sand, with the little footprints from the birds made me smile. By the time I got to the water and the roar of the surf, I was in the right place to allow whatever was to happen, to happen.

I sat cross-legged on my pirate shirt...and didn't know what to do.

I chanted, Nam Myo Renke Kyo ('may the forces of the universe bring balance and peace').
That didn't work.

I stopped all thinking.

My right hand started to pick up the sand, by the handful, and let it sift down like an hourglass.
I made a pile about ten inches tall. And then what was within started to come out:

• I missed my mother
• I lost my uncle, over money issues in the family--long story, you don't need to know. But we had been close
• I lost my grandmother's house--it had to be sold to pay for her long-term care
• I lost my grandmother to Alzheimer's--she wasn't the same, but I still love her
• It has been over a month of crisis upon crisis in the family health from mom and my niece
• I have been working a lot of long shifts

I realized that in my assignment, I chose where I live because I always wanted to be near the water. And I have. I have always been a short drive away from salt water and sand my whole life.

I laid my right hand flat on top of the pile of sand. The energy instantly connected with mine, and the tears started to flow. I was comforted. It was not spirit, not human, but something in between, that seemed like someone I know but was their Higher Self. It was male. He promised to make a sandwich for us to share. He asked, 'Do you know what I mean when I say I will make a sandwich. Not one for you, or one for me, but one for BOTH of us.' Cryptic as those words were, the feeling I got from them was that this entity was going to be by my side through thick and through thin, and not to worry.

And the tears stopped. I picked everything up and went back to the car. 

I think these are the moments the channelled messages from others describe, a sense of 'going within' and 'honoring it'. That is how you find your Way when you are a little off course, and floundering.

It takes a strong connection to Nature, trust in Spirit, and openness to just Be for the moment.

It is incredibly human.

My sisters had started to call me 'Robo-Doc' because I keep going and going and going...

But today I heard the call of the Goddess, my feminine side, my intuition. And I took the time to gently honor it. 

I hope you take the time to honor yours too. Masculine and Feminine are balanced. We all have a little Goddess energy within us.

Namaste,

Reiki Doc
