Guest guest Posted February 28, 2006 Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 Nischala "I am wondering if anyone has any advice regarding how I may create a more spiritual, uplifting environment..." Some ideas for you: Music is very important in healing and sets up a different vibration that can be very healing. Of course, I would use bhajans, but any inspirational music can be used. Make sure he has headphones and a player and some soothing music. I am thinking of Enya, some gospel (kirk Franklinish) maybe some Stevie Wonder, some native american chanting from Carlos Nakai, he has a grand canyon suite that is very inspiring. Bring some books that might help him cope, even audio books with stories might be good for him. Bring treats for him, something small and delicious - Pray for him, pray with him if he will allow it. Say what you want exactly in your prayers. Say what exactly you want to happen for him. Pray every day for his peace and happiness. The smell of hospital is depressing, keep a small bottle of lavender oil, rose oil, and eucalyptus oil in his room that he can put on his pillows to help him remember the smell of the world. Massages also can be very healing, if you know someone that would do that for him - a foot massage, a head massage, a hand massage, any part of the body he is willing to have touched. Especially with vanilla oil or lemon oil. It doesn't have to be the whole body massage, but touch is something that is seriously interrupted with this type of illness because people are afraid to touch him. Keep some herbal teas there for him, teas can be very soothing. Make a collage of pictures that remind him of happy times, family pictures, animal pictures, if no good family times then make a collage of things he likes. Something he can look at and remember good times. Clowns, circus pictures, animal pictures, flowers, sunrises, sunsets, oceans, what ever he likes... Give him greeting cards every day from someone. Ask kids in the family to make cards for him so that he can get one every day... Hope this helps...and put his name on our prayer list too, call national prayer lines (Joyce Meyer.com has a good prayer line) put his name on as many as you can call... If you are not sitting in sorrow, he will not sit in sorrow either... Om Namashivaya - In Amma's service, Supriti Omenka Nnadi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
