Not Waving …. Drowning!

What a few days I’ve had. Truthfully, I don’t think I’ve coped too well.

We’ve had a health challenge arise with my 10 year old girl, Snugglebunny. She’d had a sore ankle for about a week and following my intuition I took her to the hospital, rather than the local Doctor. They found no broken bones on the first x-rays, but then thought that with the symptoms she might have osteomyelitis (a bone infection).

Blood test came back showing there was no raging infection, but they wanted to schedule a bone scan to confirm it wasn’t in its’ early stages and if it wasn’t, was it a fracture that didn’t show on the x-rays initially? If that was the case, then they said they would be concerned that she has a fracture without a traumatic event causing it and that there might be an underlying condition.

So, we were sent home with crutches, with a bone scan to be scheduled (and canceled if her foot was better before then).

I wasn’t happy with having a bone scan if it wasn’t really necessary (if there were other treatment options) and as luck would have it, we were able to see Dr Kitty Campion, my medical herbalist, at short notice.

Kitty scanned Snugglebunny using the VegaTest machine and it confirmed there was no bacterial or viral infection. But it also showed a number of food intolerances at the moment and, even though she has a really good diet, an inability to assimilate her nutrition. This resulted in her being deficient in a number of key vitamins and other things. The results also showed that she is having problems with her pituitary and thyroid / para-thyroid and given the combination of results, is likely to be having trouble producing good quality bone.

So, not only is she likely to have a fractured foot, but she has a problem with the major gland in the body, the pituitary.

We’re doing hair analysis to see the exact extent of her vitamin and mineral deficiencies and Kitty recommended a number of things to start creating the environment for Snugglebunny’s body to heal. So, my daughter is off chocolate, sugar, salt, coffee (no big deal as she doesn’t have it!), tofu, gelatin and cheese for the time being, as well as having some herbal stuff / tissue salts.

Interestingly, we’re yet to hear from the hospital with regard to the bone scan.

All of this, coupled with getting my husband ready to go to Melbourne for a week (and him flying out on Friday), has left me in a bit of a spin.

I’m stressed, pressed for time, really tired and making ‘get me through the day’ poor choices. I need to sleep well. I need to eat well.

I seriously have to get a handle on all this. Something has to change. I’ve not had time to do the spreadsheet for this week, I’ve barely taken my vitamins, pro-biotics etc for my Candida, my water intake is down, the house is a mess, but at least I’ve got the dog out for a walk most days.

Sorry guys, but just needed to vent my frustration with my ability to cope. I know that the Candida will not be helping with the fatigue, sugar cravings etc, but I’m just over it! Signing off to go and get some sleep!

By the way, I now realise how crappy the font looks on my blog when you view it through Internet Explorer – completely different to how I see it on my Mac.  We’re working on a facelift in the next couple of weeks, but for now, this will have to do!

Not sleeping well, but have amazing dreams ….

Friday 02/04/10 – note the time delay in post – Good Friday

Well guess what?  I was awake between 3-5.30am last night!  Bummer.  Was it the homoeopathic remedy Carc or auto-suggestion?  Doesn’t really matter at this point as I still feel stuffed either way!

It felt really weird this morning.  For the first time that I Can remember I didn’t have a hot cross bun for breakfast on Good Friday morning.  We shall see how well I handle all the chocolate around, not to mention the birthday celebrations (and cakes) for my 10 year old’s birthday.

Kitty and Matrix Regeneration Therapy

I saw Kitty yesterday afternoon and had a Matrix Regeneration Therapy and light and sound on my lungs, then on my solar plexus to harmonise.  Interestingly, after the lung treatment I felt phlegm rise in my throat that I had to clear out.  Kitty mentioned that that was something thing might happen as the lungs were clearing themselves.

Interesting Dream

I had a really interesting dream a couple of nights ago after my emotional sessions with Kitty and Sally.  Obviously lots of stuff is coming to the surface for me to deal with. Here is the dream:

My husband and I were living in a 3 storey house in London that had a garden out the back.  It was a rustic / overgrown / natural type garden with  mounds and hillocks.  There was a pool in a pool house (ie. the pool was enclosed).

I was walking in the pool that was contained by the walls of the building (ie. no paving around pool).  Some other kids were there.  I spoke with the agent who said we had to move out in March – I had 1 child and was pregnant with our 2nd.

While the conversation with the agent happened, 2 of the boys had opened the door to the pool house and the whole of the pool water had emptied out, running down and around a hillock.

I didn’t notice until it was all gone and saw the door flapping.  When I went outside I saw water disappearing into the ground.  I said to the boys “Do you know what you’ve done?  You’ve cost us about $1000 in water and things”.  I wasn’t yelling and screaming, more saying this with disbelief.

Mum was then driving me with the baby in the car.  There was no left indicator, and Mum thought that she’s been pulled over by a cop.  She stopped next to an island in the road that had petrol pumps.  It was my husband who appeared on the other side of the island and filled his car.

I looked up in the sky and saw jet-streams and then heaps of planes flying in a holding pattern.  The holding pattern was like a road system a child would make out of their cars – all straight lines and 90 degree angles and multiple lanes.  Ambulances were coming up to the planes in one section that looked like a bus port (but for planes) and ferrying off something from the plane. The end!

Houses tend to indicate a person (me in this case) – 3 storeys being the conscious, unconscious and the subconscious part of the mind. The water part in the pool represents emotions and the boys ‘opened the floodgates’.  Interestingly, the water did not damage anything; it simply followed the natural course of the land and soaked into the ground.  I take from that that it is okay to have all these emotions surfacing and that they will not cause devastation in my life.

However, in the dream, as soon as I recognised the water gone, I made the comment about ‘how much it cost!’ In the words of a good friend, straight out of my heart and into my head!  To top it off, I then saw all the planes in linear holding patterns (very ordered, logical) again maybe reflecting the comfort zone of my head / thinking patterns.  But, lo and behold, I have ambulances coming up to plane-ports (like bus-ports) and then ferrying off something from various planes.

I think there is a big lesson for me in being conscious of how much time I spend in thought, rather than allowing myself to trust and work intuitively from the heart and my emotions.  I think there’s more to this dream, but for now this will do!

I think it is interesting to look at our dreams as signposts …… have a look at yours and see what they are raising.  They can be things that give us clues to help us in our lives.

Metaphysical Reasons for Nausea

Yesterday when I saw Kitty I made her aware of my feeling of nausea that were coming up as I was trying to release the old anger, guilt, resentment etc (see blog post of May 7) and she indicated that as challenging as it is, nausea can be linked to Oedipal issues.  Man, did that one make me do a double take!  Talk about a sneaky curve ball.  It doesn’t feel right to me, but I’ll sit with it and see …..

I thought that the nausea simply represented resistance to what I was trying to shift (think I like that explanation better!).  While that can be part of it, it may highlight an aspect of my relationship with my Dad, whereby he was my shining light during Mum’s poor health in my early childhood.  As a young child, maybe I resented Mum taking up Dad’s time when he came home from work (not that I am aware of that happening).  All is supposition from this point in time, but it would make sense from the perspective of a 3 year old wanting attention (as 3 year olds do)!

I have a very strong and loving memory of my early childhood with Dad where I would sit on his lap in front of the stereo, listening to Strauss waltzes – just something we did.

I just thought of another thing.  My best friend, Adriana (Age), was killed in a high speed police pursuit (she was riding her bicycyle and the stolen car hit her and killed her instantly).  She was 28 and I was 27 at the time.  I got the news at about 6pm, called Mum and Dad to tell them and put off our dinner engagement and went to be with friends who were also close to Age.

At one point later in the evening though, I remember calling Mum and Dad.  I just wanted to talk to Dad, no-one else.  Interesting.  He was my rock, again.  That must have been so hard for my Mum as I probably shut her out completely at that time.  I’m so sorry Mum, I was just trying to cope at a time of great shock.  I am so grateful that my relationship with my Mum is so much stronger now.  She is an amazing role model, one of my best friends and I love her dearly.  If I can be half the mother to my children that she was to me, then I’ll be doing well by my kids.

Interestingly that Adriana and her death came up on a day when lung clearing was taking place from the treatment with Kitty.  Metaphysically, the lungs are associated with grief, so the connection is easy to see.

So, although Kitty’s explanation didn’t feel correct for me, not dismissing it allowed me to look at some events from a different perspective….. the ol’ don’t through the baby out with the bath water!  So, a lesson for us all …. don’t dismiss things out of hand that challenge your thinking, but sit with them for a bit.  Then,  trust your own internal guidance system above that which comes to you externally.  Feel what is right for you!

A timely quote from Abraham-Hicks:

Everything is valid and everything is truthful, because Law of Attraction lets everything be.  The question is not whether it’s right or wrong, whether their approach is right or wrong, or whether my approach is right or wrong.  The question is: Does their approach feel good to me?  And if it doesn’t, then I choose a different approach.

—Abraham

Itchy bums and body brushes!

Wednesday, 24/03/10

Slept well – no itchy bum during the night to wake me up (amazing for this time of month) – hey maybe it’s just that I was so exhausted.  Seriously though, the itchy bum thing during the night when your period is due is just a drag. That’s Candida for you!

Anyway, I have blood tests this morning, so have to fast.

Went for a walk with the dog.  We recently had a really big storm in Perth.  I just love the way everything smells after heavy rain.  It’s all so clean and fresh.  This got me thinking about the role water plays in my life.  I am guilty at times of not drinking enough or not drinking consistently enough throughout the day.  So, like the heavy rain from the storm, I need the pure water to help my body to cleanse or flush itself of things it no longer needs …… helping it to stay fresh (no, this is not an advert for some feminine hygiene product!).

COMMITMENT TO SELF: Develop strategies to increase and balance my water consumption through the day. Will start off by filling up 2 x 750mL bottles of water and putting in the fridge each night.

How does one do a Skin Brush?

One of the things Kitty suggested that I do is a Skin Brush (or a body brush as I’ve been calling it).  This involves getting a shower brush made from natural fibres (which I had but didn’t use consistently – bit of a theme here!).  Then, brushing the body all over from toes towards heart, up legs, around abdomen (circles following the direction of poo flow in the colon, up the right side of abdomen, across the top and down the left side), head, neck, should and chest, back and buttocks.  Always towards the heart.  It takes about 3 minutes to do and then into the shower (hot water 2-3 minutes, cold water 20 seconds – repeated twice).

Look I felt really good afterwards – very refreshed.  I just don’t know how brave I’ll be with the cold shower bit in winter!  Bit of a wooss (not sure of spelling, but is slang in Aussie, maybe other places, for one who is timid / scared).

I went and had the blood tests for my Medical Practitioner to review.  No issues there – all mechanical and faceless.

Surrounding yourself with support…

Every Wednesday I meet up with 4 other like-minded ladies …….. to share and learn from each other.  We’ve been doing it for almost 4 years and it is a very important part of our week.  We have laughs, morning tea, more laughs, a meditation, lunch, maybe a learning session on something new-agey or do something creative.  It’s great, insightful, creative, educational and wonderfully supportive. I love these wonderful women so very much and am blessed that they are my friends.

Anyway, talk about being in tune with each other ….. we largely brought really healthy morning tea choices, not at all like our usual multiple forms of chocolate!  I had celery stuffed with almond nut butter and cashews.  Others had fruit, but I had to steer clear of it for this week – that was hard as the strawberries looked soooooo good.

It means so much to me to meet with these 4 special and gifted ladies each week.  Their enthusiasm for my journey to a healthier body really spurred me on, as did the realisation / confirmation that it’s okay to be really honest with what’s happening to my body, as I’m not the only one going through it.

COMMITMENT TO SELFKeep supportive people around me on this journey.

Cowboys and Itchy Bums!

So, we had a few laughs about my ‘itchy bum’.  At this time of the month (period due in a few days), it gets a bit more intense (like during the day as well as at night).  Intense like ….. well, you can’t exactly have a good scratch in public without drawing too much attention to yourself, so instead you walk with an exaggerated hip sway, like some burlesque performer, just so you can have a bit of relief through friction at the top of your legs, particularly if you clench your butt cheeks!  Maybe too much info …. and crazy visualisation.

Shock and Stress – sources?

Kitty indicated that Shock and Stress were things loading my body.  At the time that she said that 2 quite different things came to mind:

  1. The sudden death of my best friend almost 19 years ago, a result of being an innocent cyclist killed by a stolen car pursued by police.
  2. An incident on my Year 7 camp (12 years old) where I did something I regret.

When something like that comes into my consciousness, particularly when it’s out of left field like the Camp incident, then I’m going to record it so that I can come back and deal with it in some way, such as Tapping (or you might know it as Emotional Freedom Technique).

Busy day after school with kids, including going back to school for a Musical Soiree. Well done to 2 of my children for getting up and playing before a crowd after only 7 weeks of lessons.  I’m so proud of you guys!  A special pat on the back though goes to my teenage niece who sang “On My Own” from Les Miserable.  She was just outstanding and had me crying tears of pride, love and joy.  She reminded me of the joys of living your passion.  Keep up the fantastic work all of you.

My body was bone weary tired at the end of the day – common for me with an impending period.  I was nodding off on the couch – you know the kind where without knowing it you’ve started snoring and wake yourself up with a jolted snort and a feeling of “who did that”.  The telltale signs of a bit of dribble down the side of the mouth are a bit of a giveaway.  Beautiful!

Inspiration

You may speak your truth, but soothe your words with peace.

Tell your truth as soon as you know it. Yet tell it gently, kindly, and with compassion for the hearer. Someone needs to hear the truth from you … but that person
also needs your deep compassion as you speak it.

Seek to say what needs to be said with softness, and with a wide open heart. Remember, the truth can hurt … but it hurts a lot less if you care how it feels while
saying it.

Neale Donald Walsch
