Auras, Edibles and Cardiac Anesthesia

Yesterday the topic was 'Yoga and Shrooms',  a subject that was prompted by the discovery of carelessly disposed 'shrooms' capsules on the floor of the Yoga 'studio' which was a restaurant the rest of the week. Guests of that establishment, without the awareness of management, not only consumed 'shrooms' on the premises but also were sloppy about the 'containers' that the substances came in.

After writing that, I realized that in front of me at the front desk in L&D that same morning had been a conversation about 'edibles' and the parent of a nurse who was suffering from weight loss in metastatic cancer.

I was surprised to hear a graduate of a local 'christian' residency training program--who has a sibling who is the primary care doctor for the nurses' parent who has cancer--suggesting the use of 'edibles' to promote a healthy appetite. The nurse was like, 'we already DID that!' and laughed. Everyone laughed.

That conversation would not have happened in my presence if there was not something important about it.

I slept on it. Yoga and 'shrooms' versus Cancer and 'edibles'...

Here is what I think--I think two important thoughts:

•  The Importance of Free Will:  In Puna District on Big Island, at Uncle Robert's End of Road there is a sign that says, 'The Kingdom of Hawaii is Here'. At Uncle Robert's, parties and get-togethers happen with all of the community invited. As a result, there is anything you could ever want to buy for sale, 'edibles' and 'smokeables' and 'everything else that is not DEA-approved' for both recreation and medicine. The crowd was nice people. I know in Hawaii things are 'different' and 'Maui Wowie' is a local custom. Whatever it does to people's aura's --that is for them to discover. We can do anything to our aura's we wish! One of my best friends on Big Island loves it--and she eats a little every day 'just to keep mellow'. She is one of the brightest stars of enlightenment I know. I can't judge her, or anyone else for taking 'shrooms'  or 'brownies' or anything else if they want to. The way I see it, psychedelics are a 'short cut' to Higher States--and my choice is to reach this the all-natural, substance-free way. I jack my vibration up in the highest way possible. That is my path, my choice, and I WANT this for myself.  I also am required as a physician to stay away from those things, or risk losing my license. So for me, I just say a polite, 'I'll pass' or 'I have really bad asthma and that will mess me up, thanks for offering' with a smile, a genuine smile, from my heart for example, when a 'fattie' is offered from a Rasta priest to me.
• Anesthesia on the Diseased Heart:  Anesthesia for cardiac surgery is RISKY. You take anesthesia, which weakens the heart, and give it to someone whose heart is so weak an operation is needed to 'fix it'. This heart compensates to achieve near-normal cardiac output--sometimes the rate increases, sometimes the heart grows bigger (hypertrophy), sometimes collateral blood vessels form--at baseline the function is anything BUT a normal healthy heart. The key to anesthesia in this situation is to 'keep the heart where it lives'. Same blood pressure, same heart rate, same preload. This isn't easy while surgery is going on. Sometimes the wait until going on bypass is nerve-wracking for me, because things are so tenuous. But today I realized, like with the parent with cancer, some auras are filled with attachments and past-life scars so much that their Vibration is anything but normal and healthy.  In these cases, perhaps, 'substances' are what helps them to 'be where they live', like an adaptation to increase the appetite in a person who is dying from cancer. Only the individual and their Guardian Angel know for sure what is really right for them.

That being said, for me, Life is the greatest High. And as my Vibration increases, I grow more resilient to annoyances and setbacks. Right now, with two family members in the hospital-both five hours drive apart, and a grandmother in a nursing home somewhere in the middle, and working full-time as a single parent, my plate is full. Yesterday there was much drama from the little ones--who are particular about clothing and shoes. I hung in there, through all the conflict, because of the Yoga I had done, because of my Reiki Practice, and because of my absolute blind trust in Source. I am, each and every day, like the 'Hanged Man' card in the Tarot. It is a good card, really. It is exactly about being in a position where there is nothing you can do but Trust and have Confidence in yourself. 'Substances' aren't always needed to go through life. But I am not to judge anyone who chooses to have those in their life as well.

Namaste,

On Yoga and Shrooms

Motherhood had got the best of me. I am a dancer, and I was taking classes four days a week with the teenagers when I got pregnant. I took a class once, on business, with the Junior Company for The Geoffrey Ballet, and I kept up. Dancing was my life, outside of medicine.

It is difficult to find the time to exercise when you want to be there for your child.

The gyms are all sweaty and I hate the music. Working out at home is lonely. I bought a ten-pack of Pilates private instruction, but I never had the chance to finish it. It was with one of my old ballet teacher, too, and she was excellent.

Today I went to Yoga.

I was post-call from OB. I actually slept nine hours! When I got there, we had to clean the floor of the place. It is a restaurant known for being a Vegan/Raw social center.

I volunteered to sweep while the teacher followed with the mop.

Something strange was on the floor. Little capsules, like for vitamins, but empty. I collected them in my hand. There were about ten in all. I asked Teacher 'what are these?' and showed him my hand.

He was angry. They were from 'shrooms'. People had been taking them and throwing them all over the floor. The floor gets cleaned on Mondays. I suspect it might have been the 'open mic night' crowd? For the restaurant is full of asian and white families otherwise?

I was sad. Even vegan-raw is not without the effects of Duality.

There is no place to go that is 'safe' for me, not a church, not a yoga place, not a restaurant, where I can relax and let myself be fully Higher Dimensional. I always have to keep my 'guard' up. Because Darkness is ever present. In this case, it is unknowing, the ego, and the folks to just want to have fun, at the place where I did yoga today.

Class was excellent. My body feels magnificent! I am looking forward to going back.

You know, when you take 'substances' I can feel it in your aura. It doesn't feel clean and crisp. It feels 'fuzzy' and reminds me of many of my patients who are very sick with cancer. I should warn you that when you take 'substances', your aura weakens. And that makes room for Dark Entities (Major and Minor, they always come in pairs) and Negative Entities to attach to your energetic system. There are multitudes of them prowling around for an energy source, since they have none of their own. They are parasites. A healthy aura has no places for them to attach to. But shock, sorrow, sadness that does not go away, abandonment, loss...as well as toxic chemicals (whether they are from Nature or not) weaken the aura just enough for them to 'attach'. Once on, it takes a special skilled healer to detach them. Even if one makes a tumor, and the tumor is resected (cut off), the negative entity remains attached after the operation. Dark Entities seek to cause as much pain and suffering in the 'host' as possible. They enjoy it.

So, let the mothers and grandmothers and Lightworkers dance on 'shroom' free floors!

Be cool about being healthy.

Namaste,
