Guest guest Posted June 26, 2001 Report Share Posted June 26, 2001 Hi Michael, My computer burped and sent the reply before I had finished so this is the rest of it. The point is that all of this is not real. So ... the important question is Who am I? Continue by focussing on that and the voices will disappear. When they do, then examine what is going on in your life. Are you healthy? Are you eating properly? getting enough exercise? Are you avoiding dairy products or any meal within 2-3 hours before bedtime? What is your diet? Are there any stresses in your life? Money, relationships, work, etc. What is not working in your life just now? What is working in your life just now? What are you doing to be grounded? Soaking in a warm tub with a cup or two of epsom salts will help with grounding. Walking on a beach if that is possible. Hugging a tree is always good. The kundalini energy of the tree, feeds our own energy field and aura. Do whatever you can to reduce the stresses in your life. Every little bit helps. A good place to begin is to clean up your house and car. Clutter leads to disorganized thinking and makes one vulnerable to such " attacks " . Also go see a doctor for a thorough examination. The purpose is to rule out any physical causes for the feelings you are experiencing. If you wish to discuss this further, please feel free to email me privately. Let me know how you are doing with this. Note in the earlier post I noted that this is coming up so you can handle it -- and it is a good sign that it is happening, though not comfortable. It means that you are ready to deal with this issue and you don't need it any more.
