Guest guest Posted May 19, 2003 Report Share Posted May 19, 2003 Sat Nam ya'll, There's no way to wash it, I'm afraid to die. It's been sinking in on me for awhile now. I've studied, I've prayed and I've sought for many years. I always thought I had at least a marginal handle on the whole death thing. Maybe I do, I just am not sure at the moment. In the last year, in part due to KY, I've become exceedingly attached to my life. I have everything I really need and more than a couple of my wants. I have friends and family who love me unconditionally. I feel comfortable, usually, sharing my gifts with others and have learned SO much about appropriate boundaries in all these things. My life feels like it's finally working on so many, many levels. I love my life! And now it's feeling threatened in a big way. Maybe I'm not ok with this dialysis thing, you think? The very thought of losing my life leaves me feeling incredibly cheated. I guess that's the word. It sorta feels like it'd be easier to give in and give up. It's probably just the process, but it's difficult to stay 'in the moment' when the 'moment' SUX! At the moment it seems that treating HIV and treating kidney disease are diametrically opposed to one another. The diets are even opposite! Dialysis also makes you lose weight. Why do I think that's a bad idea when I'm 6' tall and only weigh 150lbs.? I'm very frustrated and only beginning to identify my issues. I'm sorry to unload on ya'll but I just got home from dialysis and all these feelings are very fresh and on the surface. Thanks for listening. Sometimes you just gotta say it out loud.

Guest guest Posted May 20, 2003 Report Share Posted May 20, 2003 Dearest Leo, I know from my father, that dialyisis can be very, very hard. It's possible to loose all joy through it. And in your case, it is really a lot together with HIV. I can understand your fear. Don't stop to tell us about all your feelings. You are glad to have people around you, real friends and your family. Love, Peace & Light and a special guardian angel Sonja Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 23, 2003 Report Share Posted May 23, 2003 This mantra and others have been set to music on a beuatiful CD, which you can listen to over and over again, with really calming results. I used to just let it play over and over again in the car. sjskhalsa wrote: A mantra that appears in the latest prosperity times in a meditation Works to help us prepare for that passage that we fear out ignorance Om Tryam-bakum Yaja-mahay; Sugan-dhim Pushti-varadhanam Urvar-oo-kamiva Bandhanan; Mrit-yor Mukh-shiya Mum-ritaht The New Search - Faster.
