Guest guest Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 Dear marci ~ so good to hear from you again. You are so right, and I thank you very much for sharing Amma's perspective and knowledge of healing. What has my illnesses taught me. One major teaching is to bear the symptoms without complaint. I am not always able to do this, but that I have at all shows a level of maturity I would not have had before. It very definitely taught me to be honest and open, which is a hard lesson, because if what I am being honest about are my symptoms, some people get very nervous. My sister, who has also struggled with the same illnesses, and I have both lost friends because they have been unable to understand our limitations. So, also it has taught me to be more accepting and patient, more forgiving. If I get mad about other people's behavior, I am the one who suffers the consequences of that feeling, very directly in my body. So my body has become an instant feedback barometer. In some ways it always has been, but too often I have chosen to go against its messages. I am learning to love and attend to my body, which is very much connected, for some reason to the two-year old and the five-year old Linda. I have also learned to appreciate life and nature on a much more subtle level and I am thankful for this every day. I am so glad you gave me the opportunity to explore what I have learned. It is all too easy to be angry at my body, and I still have inner work to do.

Again, my deep appreciation. marci wrote: ....i remember the first time i saw Amma in Iowa. . .She talked about healing. . . she said there were three possible outcomes to the request for healing. . . #1. There would be healing with the request. . .#2. Healing would be a slower process because the soul's growth was linked with the overcoming of the disease. . . #3. Healing of the physical problem would not occur because the disease was a karmic fulfillment. . .. and the healing on this later catagory would occur in the ability to withstand the physical and overcome at a spiritual dimension. . .Know Amma will help you to bring forth the highest good. . . .What have you learned from your disability? . .i have found that dealing with the physical often brings forth a honesty and surrender. . .a reliance on the Source that is greater. . .May the best come forth for you dear Amma sister... **************Plan your next getaway with AOL Travel.
