Those of us on the path to more Self Mastery experience fear less frequently and in less intensity. For some topics we notice a strong visceral response and oh my we find ourselves quite frightened. Below is a story of one woman whose husband gets a scary health report. She seeks support and soothing. Please read more
Help to Shift Thinking
Birgitta heard that her husband, Gerald, had an unwanted health report. The screening of a stool sample resulted in a finding such that doctors recommended an investigative procedure.
B lived her life employing natural health maintenance tapping selectively into western medicine screening procedures. Gerald listened to his wife’s thoughts and then used his own judgment; He leaned more toward following the protocols used by physicians and their specialties.
With that news Birgitta recognized that she was panicking. Soon she telephoned a wise friend for some calmer perspective.
Soothing Thoughts
B: “It’s my fault. I thought Gerald could get the screening test every three years. Now we see that if it had been annually this abnormal cell discovery could have been spotted earlier.
With my health protocols and diet, I don’t need annual screening but he does. I blame myself!
G started to blame me as well. He was following MY advice.
I don’t want him to have cancer. Oh my God!”
Wise Counsel: “This is a finding on an early test. You don’t know how much ‘disease” is involved if at all.
Let’s look at this business of blaming yourself.
Part of you knows that blame does no one any good. It is one person’s fear projected to someone. Blaming thoughts are not scientifically or metaphysically true. They do not constitute sound thinking at all!
We cannot take responsibility for another adult’s health. Health involves workings of our bodies, mind and spirit on many levels with so many inputs. Yes the exercise, yes the food we eat, yes our attitudes. Looking at the picture this way, how can the wife be “responsible” for a condition in her spouse?
Perhaps your dear one’s first response in his fear reaction was to put ‘blame’ on you. We can have compassion for his fear reaction.
Instead, let me help you calm yourself. Tap into your strength, access your focus on Good and on miracles. You are resilient and you can handle some of life’s curve balls. 😊”
Birgitta continued breathing and listening. She was able to take in some of the comforting thinking and start to shift.
Then B asked for a Jin Shin Jyutsu session for help in changing her energy and emotionality. Her friend was able to provide that treatment within hours. With that assistance B shifted in her body, mind and spirit in a dramatic way. She feels much more ready to face the health information and support her beloved.
Take Away for Readers:
- Recognize panic: Know you are not offering yourself your best wisdom at this moment. Make it ok to feel what you feel.
- Reach for help with soothing thinking. A friend to call; a book handy with wisdom. This strong feeling will dissipate with some time.
- Practice uplifting any blaming formulations when you are calmer. Flood your being with feelings of Well-Being Abounding. Focus on the Good to build strength and resilience.
