Life In Evolution

My beliefs about good medicine have changed radically during my lifetime. As a small child, I can remember my mother taking me to the doctor for regular checkups. I always hated going to the doctor, but I was raised to believe it was a necessary evil. I was so much a part of this mindset that I took my own children to the doctor for checkups as well.

In college, my major was psychology so I spent some time researching medical studies in order to write some of my papers. I learned all about what was supposed to make studies valid--things like double blinds and actual experiments as opposed to correlational studies. The ability to wade through medical research served me well after my first daughter died of a Group B Strep infection.

When something bad happens, I am the sort of person who wants to understand exactly what happened so that I can figure out a way that it won't happen again. My questions and research led me to a group of parents who had formed an organization to educate other parents about the potential dangers of GBS. In process, I poured over medical research so well that I understood the differences between bacteria and viruses as well as what studies had been done regarding the fight against this potent bacteria. At the time, I still accepted that American medicine had my best interests at heart (and I still believe the vast majority of MD's really are trying to do what is best for the patient based on the knowledge they are given). I became an advocate of testing pregnant women for the bacteria and treating them with antibiotics at delivery if they tested positive.

Although I labored many years under the belief testing and treatment for GBS was the best strategy for combating it, my approach to medicine has again changed over time. Problems I had with my second daughter with depression and bipolar disorder led me to new information and new understandings, including the understanding that the immune system is based largely in the digestive tract and that healthy food plays a large part in keeping a person physically and mentally healthy. As antibiotics kill healthy bacteria as well as bad, they may not be the best way to help an already compromised immune system.

I'll be the first to admit my beliefs about medicine have undergone radical changes over time. Am I upset with myself that I once believed (and advocated) the idea that antibiotics were the way to defeat GBS and infant illness and death? I am not. I was doing my best with the information I had at the time. I was basing this on answers to my questions at the time. As always, there is much more to discover. It is all a process.

Our lives are an evolutionary process. We ask questions, see new information, and believe we have found truth--at least for a while. Then something else happens, causing us to ask new questions and acquire new information. What we have really uncovered is not necessarily absolute truth but a new perspective on it.

We are all works in progress. Be gentle with yourself as you evolve in this lifetime. The answers you find today may change radically as your life experience changes tomorrow. Go with the flow.

Rewriting Your Story

Life can be a very painful process. We get hurt. Sometimes the hurt is so excruciating we try to find ways to escape it. Alcohol. Drugs. Sex. The thing is, these activities may numb us but they cannot overcome where we have been or what has happened to us. We do, however, have the power to rewrite our story into something better.

Rewriting your story is all about changing your frequency, and frequency is all about feelings. In order to change your frequency, you have to change more than just your thoughts. You have to change the emotions attached to your thoughts. It's a tricky process, but workable.

Allow your imagination to be your friend. Sit back, preferably in a comfortable chair in a room by yourself to avoid distractions. Begin by asking for protection. Call on your angels and a powerful protective beam of light to shield you from any harm. Get comfortable, knowing you are in a safe place.

As you sit, picture the safe, protective beam of light not only surrounding you but enveloping you all the way through to the inside. Feel the protection, power and love of this light.

Allow this light to find all the pain you have been carrying in your body. It may be in your brain. It may be in your heart or your stomach. It may be in your big toe. We all carry our pain and negative feelings in different places and in different ways. As you allow the light to flow through your body, ask yourself where the pain is.

At every place you feel pain, allow the light to draw the pain out of your body and away from you, into the vast space where everything exists and becomes One. It cannot hurt you or anyone else from there. Picture the pain from your body draining from you until it is all gone. Then move on to the next place in your body where pain exists and allow that pain to drain from you as well. Continue until all the pain in your body is removed.

Once the pain is gone, it is important to consciously call forth positive energies that can fill the void. Focus on the light, and picture the light being drawn into all those places that were formerly filled with pain. Once you are filled back up, search for holes or weak places in your spiritual body. When you find a place that needs extra reinforcement, call upon the light to repair the damage and seal it back up.

Take as much time as you need to work on this process. Understand you may need to repeat this at frequent intervals in order to keep the change in frequency. Also know this technique is not the only one you can use to change your frequency and rewrite your story. You are limited only by the limitations of your imagination.

Allowing yourself to get rid of the pain you carry around is a sure way to change your energy. By changing your frequency, you change the path you are on and effectively rewrite your story.
