All Is Well

It's cloudy and wet. Perfect for staying indoors and pottering around.

My plants on the balcony are getting a good watering, which is nice. I bought a couple of lavender plants on my way home yesterday- I adore lavender .. the scent and the delicate flowers. It does well on the balcony during the summer , but I have not go it to surivive the winter. Someone in Blogland gave me good advice which I shall try this year -- pruning back the growth.

Jill is on her way round and Mikael is coming round tomorrow. Two days of visitors . Nice.

Also , I am getting a little tired of Cranberry juice which I am drinking for my urinary tract infection. I think they make drinks far too sweet for my taste. Less sugar please .. and by that I don't mean that you can go on adding aspartame or artificial sweetner .. naughty naughty .. and very nasty !

At the beginning of my shift I placed a stethoscope on an elderly and slightly deaf female patient's anterior chest wall.

"Big breaths," I instructed.

"Yes, they used to be," replied the patient.

Dr.Richard Byrnes,

A nurse was on duty in the Emergency Room when a young woman with purple hair styled into a punk rocker Mohawk, sporting a variety of tattoos, and wearing strange clothing, entered. It was quickly determined that the patient had acute appendicitis,so she was scheduled for immediate surgery. When she was completely disrobed on the operating table, the staff noticed that her pubic hair had been dyed green, and above it there was a tattoo that read, "Keep off the grass."

Once the surgery was completed, the surgeon wrote a short note on the patient's dressing, which said,

"Sorry, had to mow the lawn."

Hospitals are filled with Angels and Earth Angels and brave souls that need them.

I don't know where healing staff get their energy from ! One nurse Vibeka is an Earth Angel. This nurse goes home after 9 p.m. to return again at 6 a.m. She is happy cheerful , skillful, empathic and has an infectious laugh - the best kind of infection as it is so healing. Blessings and respect galore !

Inga is a patient who had a huge stone in her bladder. They'd blasted it to smitherines only now these blasted bits are stubborn and not easily removed.Inga has been in for two operations already.

85 year old Evy calls the hospital her "second home " as she checks in supported by her zimmerframe and escorted by her son. She's had several operations on her legs and hip and has lost her sailor husband last year to cancer. Since then she feels she has been going down hill fast. Her hearing and eyesight have deterriorated and now toublesome kidney stones need to be removed.EVeryon eis no nice to Evy. She gets a shower and her hair is shampooed by a nurse and you can hear their laughter and shanningans right down the corridor.

Mikael and Annika are anaesthetists. They are important people who put the patient at ease before he or she drifts off into a dreamless sleep.Mikael looks like Dustin Hoffman.

Jonny with bright red hair is the only gay senior nurse in the ward, Jonny calls his favourite patients " Darling" has a diamond earing and gives lovely hugs and kisses on the cheek. He has wicked stories to tell and an awesome sense of humour. Jonny is quite a diva who dreams of being famous. He is single and happy . Values his freedom and likes to live alone with only his two little dogs for company.

Henrik is a young ward orderly who helps patients with all kinds of small things and nothing is ever too much trouble.

Bless all the people in healing places everywhere.Bless all these Earth Angels. When one patient is healed , all are healed.Healing affects everyone directly of indirectly .

Right . that's it , Time to log off and be on my way to the happy farm er... I mean the my healing retreat place.

OH I like those men in there clean white coats ...coming to take me away ha ha ..hehehe ..where life is wonderful all the time ..he hee hahha ...*mira remembers the song from the stone ages, days of L.Ps and singels *

Silliness overcomes mira from time to time.

No.. I haven't lost it .. not more than usualm that is.
It's the thought of being off line for a few days ...arghhhhhhhhhh

It's raining .. my bags are packed with books and goodies .

Tata for now love and hugs .. see you all in a few days .
be good.. if in doubt m leave it out as our French teacher used to say

XX

Here's my sister with her little lap -dog, Krispian- he sometimes thought he was a lap-dog.

When I phoned my sister I always asked to speak to him too.
She'd say Krispian .. it's your aunty Mara
and Krispian would reply " WOOOOOOOF" in a loud voice.
Always worked lol

I used to feed him oatcakes and kit-kat( wicked)
Once Krispian was very naughty - sneaked into my room while Iwas out and torn apart a box of tampax ..looking for kit-kat .My sister said he would always try to open and read my letters ..left everyone else's alone .

Sorry about quality of the pics - they are pics of pics.
Krispian is now in Doggie Heaevn , bless his fur and paws , May he enjoy in peace.

Midnight hour again .. time flies when you're having fun.
It's been an eventful day.

Marie's visit and then session with English speaking client , who is now CURED ! ( for now ) He was as happy as a lark bless him , thanks to certain happenings over Midsummer. The fairies were obviously busy spreading their magic dust

Had a long chat with Theres over the phone . We'd both had anxious dreams last night.We talked and shared , Theres is a healer .. an extra ordinary woman who is now retired , Theres helped me through eczema ordeals. Eczema sores and weeping flaky itchy gashes covered in 1991 covered half my body and face. Appeared suddely and disappeared slowly over the next 3 or 4 years or so during which time I tried all manner of alternative therapies - each of which helped a little. It was my own tailor- made education in Life School.

THeres asks " why do bad things happen to good people ? "
We discussed that.
It really depends on what you mean by " bad " . Sometimes what appears to be " bad" turns into a blessing,

There's has been through so many ordeals herself - funny how its only when you share about yourself do you get to know other's suffering . Otherwise , Theres never speaks of it .

So here's a list of things this wonderful woman has experienced in her lifetime..

First husband's suicide ,
one son homeless and alchoholic despite many amazing efforts over the years tp help ,no expense spared;
other son's wife insitutionalised several times for depression,
polio,
5 miscarriages,
operation to remove ovaries and womb,
cataract .. to name but a few..

and STILL this woman is strong and can laugh a lot.

If it doesn't kill you , it makes you stronger.

" There's " I said , " all these things have contributed to making you the great healer that you are . There are very few things that you have not experienced yourself first hand and can therefore empathise with people who need healing . You know how to be there for someone.You inspire and encourage ."

Theres is a remarkable woman .

The Tibetan teacher, Chogyam Trungpa, warned of
the trap of spiritual materialism. He says we must
be ever diligent to spot the ego’s use of the
spiritual journey to further its own ends.

We may think it’s spiritual to yearn for divine
connection. And yet, if the longing is to fill an
emptiness inside, just how does this differ from
the one who yearns for money or possessions to
fill the inner void? Do we look to our spiritual
practices as proof of our evolved consciousness or
as protection against fears?

Any time we use spiritual disciplines to maintain
our identity and security, we are not yet on the
path of genuine spiritual development.

"Enlightenment is ego’s ultimate disappointment."

-- Chögyam Trungpa

HA !! X

Marie came over , bright and early. I was still waking up. Marie and I met over a year ago and have been mentoring each other. We share the same birthday too , so you can imagine how similar we are in our ways and thinking. Excellent mirrors !

What I like about Marie is that we can be perfectly honest and open with each other. When one talks , the other listens and somehow noone talks too much or too little. We both feel seen and heard and our meetings are always healing.

Today Marie zoomed in from Brazil , Sao Paulo , where she and hubby and two teenage boys are living for the next couple of years. Marie brought me a pair of genuine Brazilian flip flops and they came in an authentic Brazilian plastic bag that I said I would frame ART !

So.. these are for me to wear in Brazil when I go and visit !

" Requested Group does not exist! " WOT ? tried to log into www.blog.co.uk and got this message.. several times "Requested Group does not exist!"

Shock of shocks !

Well .. I'm here now , in Blogland now , aren't I ? And all is well Sometimes I wonder what he heck goes on.

The moon is a lovely blob of orange in an indigo sky.
I'm sleepy now.

Just got an email from my friend Daz , ( s.Africa and Dublin ) he's now arrived safe and sound in NewZealand . Bless him . Was lovely to hear from him.

Planted some Rosemary and Thyme together with the daisies .
it's ok to plant herbs and flowers together , isn't it ?
Thyme keeps creepy crawlies away and both thyme and rosemary smell so good.

Did you know that you can eat chive flowers ? Very tasty

Peace and love in all dimensions ..... night night XXXX

Things aren't always what they appear to be. I am thinking of story I heard about good news and bad news and Will try to tell it as best I can.

The "Good news, bad news" story is sometimes told as a Native American story, sometimes as an ancient Chinese or Zen story.

Man and his son live in a house together and they have a horse.
One day, horse runs away.
Bad news!!

Then, horse comes back with a friend - a beautiful, big, strong horse.
Good news!

Then, son rides the new horse and breaks his leg.
Bad news!

Then, people come looking for the son to join "army" to go fight against "enemies," but father and son do not know what it is about and do not want son to have to go.Son has broken leg, so is not good to go and fight anyway!!
Good news!!

 
What happens to you is not as important
as how you react to what happens.
Everything you'll experience "good or bad" has
value.

Motivational message from www.thedailyguru.com

I Keep My Promises
Imagine that you are tuned to the devine frequency of your Higher Self and hear these words of assurance pouring forth from within.

Not the human you but the Spiritual You, the Master You.
 
One day soon you will awaken, and my Consciousness will be yours and nothing shall be impossible to you. He who comes to you then shall never hunger, and he who believes on you shall never thirst, and he who follows you shall not walk in darkness. For I will be You and You will be Me, eternally the one and only Reality. I keep my promises.

Soul Stories by Gary Zukav is a really inspiring book that helps you understand why relationships are as they are.

Short Excerpts from Soul Stories

Multisensory Perception

Excerpt from Soul Stories:

When the brochure first came in the mail, the woman did not give it much attention. It was about a conference that was too far away, too expensive, and not about the things that were most interesting to her. The next day, she felt an impulse to read it again, and the next day, too. She could not put it out of her mind, nor the curious feeling that she should attend. Without knowing why, she registered and booked a flight. The first day there she met a man who was struggling with cancer. She had a passionate interest in the healing process. With her assistance, his cancer disappeared, and they coauthored a book on healing.

Where did her impulse come from? She had two systems to provide her with information. The first ? her five senses ? didn't give her information about what might happen at the conference. Another system did. That second system is multisensory perception.
Intuition, Using Intuition

There is no single way to experience intuition. It is different for everyone...Some people have hunches. Some get ideas. Some people hear music, and others see pictures. Some people get sensations, like the feeling of a crisp winter day. Others hear words. Some have conversations, as I did with Grandmother Libby.
Nonphysical Teachers and Nonphysical Reality

Nonphysical Teachers do not tell you what to do. They help you see your opinions. They help you think through your choices. They help you understand what you are feeling and why. They help you to the fullest use of your life. You are still the boss. You still decide what is best for you, and what is not. You may talk a decision over with friends, but when it comes time to make it, it's up to you...

Your Soul

Your mother ship is always attempting to communicate with you. It does not communicate with satellites or computers. It uses your intuition. This is the same system that you use to communicate with Nonphysical Friends and Teachers. Your intuition is like a radio that can receive signals from different stations. Some are Nonphysical Teachers. Others are fellow souls. Another is your own soul.

The Earth School and Reincarnation

The Earth school is a 3-D, full-color, big-screen, multimedia, interactive movie. Getting carried away is easy because it is intimate, exciting, and always changing. If you study this movie ? the Earth school ? like a student of cinema studies movies, you see that nothing in it is accidental. Everything happens for a reason, just as it does in a theater. This movie is your life. The more you use your intuition, the more you see how it is constructed and what it is telling you.

A Higher Form of Reasoning and Justice

Every time you make a decision, something happens. When you make a different decision, something different happens. What happens depends on what you decide. Wherever you look, all that your five senses can see is the movie. You can't see outside the theater, but you can decide what the movie is about. You do that with each of your decisions. This is a very important thing to know because your life is the movie.

Every decision you make causes something to happen. Sometimes it happens right away. Sometimes it takes a while. Either way, you choose. Once you understand this, you can make your movie the way you want it to be.

Emotional Awareness

Becoming aware of your emotions means more than feeling frightened of some things, and feeling angry at others. It means becoming aware of everything that you are feeling. Until you do, there will always be parts of yourself you don't know about. Some of them are angry. If you don't know about them, you will get angry sometimes, whether you want to or not. Some parts of you are frightened. If you don't know about those parts, you will get frightened sometimes, whether you want to or not.

Responsible Choice and Intention

Each choice creates a future. It brings into being one of many possible futures. That is the future you will live in. Even a choice that seems unimportant, like going to a grocery store or not, creates one future and prevents you from experiencing others. You choose your future moment by moment, decision by decision. You do this whether you are aware of it or not.

An intention is not a wish. A wish does not cause anything to happen. An intention does. An intention pushes against the way things are in your life. Those things push back exactly the same way. (Remember, for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.) Your intentions create everything you experience.

Harmony, Cooperation, Sharing and Reverence for Life

Your soul always sees friends. That is because it sees beneath the surface. When you see a friend wearing a beautiful dress, do you think she is beautiful because of her dress? When you see her in a dress that you don't like, isn't she still your beautiful friend? When you see with reverence, you see everyone as a beautiful friend.
Authentic Power and Creating Authentic Power

Creating authentic power is a process. Each time you choose harmony, cooperation, sharing, or reverence for Life, you challenge parts of yourself that want other things. They are the parts of you that are angry, sad, jealous, and frightened. The more you challenge them, the less power they have over you, and the more power you have over them. Eventually, their power over you disappears.

That is how authentic power is created ? intention by intention, choice by choice. You can not wish it, pray it, or meditate it into being any more than you can wish, pray, or meditate yourself into being a great baseball player. If you want to bake bread, you have to know how to do it. Then you have to do it.
Forgiveness and Humbleness

Forgiveness and harmony go together. When you forgive someone, nothing stands between you and that person. Even if the person you forgive does not like you, you have laid your suitcases down. You travel lightly.

Cooperation and humbleness always go together. Humbleness is seeing that everyone's path is as difficult as yours and as important. It is not pretending that you are meek or inferior. It is making the music together that cannot be made alone, and that cannot be made without the music that only you, alone, can make.

Abundance is a result of the contribution you make to other people’s lives.

More than any of the other elixirs, we desperately need to feel and be abundant while on earth. Abundance is about safety and security. It's having the cash to afford that lifesaving operation, those school shoes for your child, or perhaps that French villa. A lack of abundance causes so much suffering on earth. And the pursuit of abundance at all costs drives people into ill-fitting jobs and less than ideal life situations. So what good is all this poverty and lack? Does it serve anyone's growth?

The short answer is yes - for some time. A lack of abundance is an effective motivator to help you climb up from your hole and offer the world your one-of-a-kind awesome contribution. You have goals to achieve in life. Often these goals require you to overcome perceived limitations and learn preset lessons. Only by doing so, can your strength be realized. Your abundance is tied to achieving these goals. You might be thinking that many people are already wealthy yet don't seem to have achieved their life goals. True but are these people abundant in all areas of their life? To be truly abundant is to be rich in love, friendship, material goods, spiritual connection, creativity, health, knowledge, happiness, orderliness, and more.

Abundance is huge and the biggest measure of all is internal abundance - the abundance you feel within. Inner abundance is what the abundance card seeks to address. By going to work on your inner abundance, your outer world begins to take shape as well.

Four Steps to Abundance

Step 1. Let go of any thoughts around not enough. Imagine these thoughts falling out of you onto the ground.
For this exercise, we're changing our thinking and getting beyond the limitations to address things from a broader position. So let go of the everyday worries. The next rent payment, that credit card, those unpaid bills. Imagine the thoughts spilling out of you onto the ground. And breath a huge sigh of relief as you put down these heavy weights.

Step 2. Close your eyes and imagine you are totally connected to those around you. You belong. Every action you take is a magical contribution to these people's lives. Imagine how good this feels. This is the magic step. It's where you see yourself from our perspective, totally connected to those around you and playing a vital role in the world drama. See your role uplifting all those around you and providing unique gifts that others value. Part of this process is to accept yourself belonging in the world. No man (or woman) is an island. Belongingness is a crucial aspect to abundance for how can you contribute to the lives of people around you if you do not engage these people in some form.

Step 3. Now imagine the abundant rewards that flow back to you as thanks. Humbly accept these rewards.
This is a dress rehearsal for the actual rewards you will soon be receiving. It’s important to accept these gifts truthfully. If you do not value the things you have given to others, then this will be reflected in the limited payment you will receive. If you find yourself always being underpaid for your work, look at how you feel about your contribution to these people's lives. Take steps to ensure what you are giving is something you truly value and practice this third step of receiving graciously. This step should feel good. It feels good to receive gifts, especially when you’ve earnt them.

Step 4. Open your eyes and begin making this a reality in your life.
Go out into the world and take the actions you have crafted in your imagination. Give those unique offering to others and rec
