Guest guest Posted January 29, 2001 Report Share Posted January 29, 2001 Thanks, Herkimar, for the Sharon Callahan URL. I read the article on her conversation with cows and bookmarked the site for further exploration when I have more time. This puts me in mind of the time some years ago when I connected with my houseplants. I wanted to create an atmosphere for them that was as healthy as possible, so I went into meditation and one by one linked with them. I asked where they were from originally, how they normally grew, what I could do to best care for their health while in my home. I got some really interesting responses. The one I remember most was from my spider plants. They said they normally grow high up in trees in the rainforest and feed mostly through their leaves (they like to be sprayed). They grow huge, creating babies which create babies which create babies until six, seven, eight tiers long, sometimes longer, even coming almost down to the ground. I was renting an upstairs room from someone with a big house, at the time. With her permission, I immediately set hooks into the living room's wood beam ceiling about 2 feet out from the upstairs balcony and hung my three small spider plants there. By the time I had to move, they had grown four tiers long and looked very happy up there, not to mention exotic! Never thought to connect to animals. Maybe I should try my fish now.

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2001 Report Share Posted January 29, 2001 We have attuned dogs and horses to Reiki and they love it. A friend has several horses attuned and they insist on carrots first and then Reiki. Cress was walking the medicine wheel within 3 days of reiki for a medical problem. Family joke now of Carrots and Reiki. -- dogs and cats have figured reiki out and are good senders. It also helps them with chronic medical problems. We worked with a pregnant mare -- she went to the breeder a month early and the day she delivered, the breeder checked her and she was calmly eating. 15 minutes later the early warning system went off -- the stallion went bonkers whenever a mare was in labor -- by the time the breeder got to the big stall -- Dream was having the foal. She had been bred to a Frissian and it was a big foal. After dropping the foal, Dream check the foal and went back to lunch. Where was reiki when I was in labor? @ ______________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO! Juno offers FREE or PREMIUM Internet access for less! Join Juno today!

There is definitely a connection....He is killing himself. His smoking and lack of exercise are destroying his heart function which would,yes,decrease systemic circulation. As far as regulating red blood cells...I would recommend doing your diagnosis from a TCM perspective and using herbal formulation accordingly. The red blood cells will regulate with the right blood moving formula. This reminds me of a patient I saw with abnormal liver enzymes. Everyone wanted to find herbs " to control liver enzymes " . Last time I looked that was not a category in the Materia Medica. I spoke with my Chinese professor and he assured me.. " treat the Liver Qi and the enzymes will correct. " We were right Chai Hu Shu Gan San Jia Jian..Enzymes were normal within 2.5 weeks. The wisdom of pattern differentiation and Chinese herbal medicine is often overlooked for the wester clinical perspective in an integrated environment.

Guest guest Posted February 28, 2001 Report Share Posted February 28, 2001 Parasites are referred to as Gu Syndrome. Frequently involves mental disturbances. I treat persistant obesity with disturbed thinking (obessesive thinking, compulsive behavior for instance) as parasites. I think parasites are not only worms but any opportunistic invasion of a substantial nature - fungus, yeast, bacteria. To purge the system and clear the thinking, have the patient chew a handful of raw, shortgrain brown rice for breakfast-no other food at that meal. Refer to Paul Pritchford's book of nutrition and Chinese medicine (cant remember the exact title). I have been following this method myself and have excellent results with weight loss and improved shen. Sherril Gold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
