Guest guest Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 And to you and your brother too. I smiled to know of others running all around. What chaos! My brother came to live with me in Texas 9 years ago after a divorce and after he had no more money. My parents were in California and were frantic not knowing what to do to help him so I said " Send him out and let me take a look. " One of those statements you sort of hear coming out of your mouth at the same time as others....from ones higher self perhaps. To make a long story shorter it was discovered he was an undiagnosed paranoid schizophrenic, got the diagnosis and meds after many loud and angry outbursts at me (to say the least) and was hospitalized several times. I was doing healing work in my home at the time, worked on him a lot and had him in the room a lot while I worked on others with the intent of him getting information. I returned (with him and a Texas foster kid) to California as my parents are quite old and I wanted to share more time with them and help if needed , he was hospitalized again and then went in patient in the VA hospital where they said they could give him back his life if he gave them 8 weeks. He did the work, kept getting better and better (I kept zapping him, lol) and he has been working and making money, moved out of my place a couple of years ago, has helped his kids and is now marrying a wonderful women as he approaches his 60th birthday. Words cannot say how happy I am for him and how much I admire his courage and dedication. So this marriage is a culmination, for me, of his being able to heal himself and a happy ending to what could have been a very sad story. My eyes well with pride and love watching prepare for this wedding as well as my happiness for my foster child. I'll be a total mess, crying with joy over everything at THIS wedding!

Guest guest Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 That's beautiful Sherri... If you could comment some more on how you helped him it might be great for myself and others to hear. Finding that balance between patience, knowing when to say the right thing at the right time, when to just observe, send healing, etc... Hmm not sure how to ask, but it just seems I can step back and see my brother's situation a little clearer but when I try to offer my two cents it's in one ear and out the other. Might just be a matter of timing. But still I feel the need to be doinging something you know? Thanks and blessings tomorrow!!! bradly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 Thanks for the question. I gained more insight as I thought about how to answer you. What I did with my brother is similar to what I do with each foster child. First I look at the inner being (higher self) of whoever I am with. The strength of the light that I am shown indicates how far I should go and how committed I should be with each person. I guess I am actually tuning in to my higher self and looking to see, energetically, what has brought us together. Then I look at the strength of my commitment towards each person. It can be easy to go into co-dependence with someone especially if I am getting positive feedback in conventional reality as to what I am doing. (Being a foster parent, helping my brother, etc.) I try to get a strong grip and image of how far I should go with each one, for their benefit, not my ego, and hold on to that. Next is to look at the person and their behavior and spiritual development. When I can see that I sort of (like a wild horse in a corral) create a " fence " around them which has a mirror like surface facing in. This will be the space within which I am wiling to work with someone. They actually have to do the work...I just set up the situation and monitor things. This energy corral will become smaller as they advance or, often, the person will go outside the boundaries enough times that I will discontinue the work. It is like our 2 higher selves make an agreement for me to show them a path and we both must honor it or discontinue. My part is to know when to stop which is often the best lesson for them and has been, in the past, emotionally very difficult for me. Then I begin to reflect back to them, each time it occurs, the behaviors and thoughts that are unacceptable in whatever level of higher vibration our higher selves have agreed on. There is then much fighting, outbursts and attacks ( sometimes both physical and energetic) towards me. Hence I need to remember how strong I was shown my commitment is to be with the individual. The mirrored fence helps a lot as they have agreed to be in this corral and the energy mirror does much of the work so I do not need to do everything. I used to be exhausted all the time until I figured this out as I am often working with several people at a time. Once the person is able to stay within their corral most of the time we either stop as that is as far as they want to go as it is very hard work for them or our souls renegotiate and the corral is made smaller and we start all over again. It seems, in my learning over the years, I have been doing this with my guides, they being the ones creating corrals (and they still are) for me with my agreement being smaller and smaller ones created as fast as possible. I am greatly interested in people gaining as much as possible from this process (hence am so delighted at my youngest foster child and my brother) so have to watch myself carefully to not be disappointed or angry with them when they falter and especially when they stop. Detachment, backing off neutrally and blessing their process is what I strive for. As I am able to see what they could become and used to long for friends at a similar level as myself I had to learn to just be hugely grateful to be able to be of service in this way and to drop my ego and desires out of the process. If I did not the other person became pretty confused, their progress was altered and this just is not cool, especially when they have trusted me to help them go into this corral/arena to fight their own devils and they are at their most vulnerable. I could give you a more concrete version of healing and describe techniques if you wish but this is what came when I thought about your question.
