HEALING CIRCLE FOR BROOK HILL

Healing System Tinerfe have received a request from England, to send distance healing for this little boy Brook Hill who was recently involved in a tragic accident in the Pyrenees.

See news article:

Battling: Brook Hill is in a coma in a French hospital after a ski collision on a junior slope at the Les Monts d¿Olmes ski resort in the south of the country

A nine-year-old boy is in a coma after being knocked down by a skier on a family holiday in the Pyrenees.

Brook Hill was enjoying a beginners’ skiing lesson on a junior slope at the Les Monts d’Olmes ski resort in southern France when the accident happened.

The youngster, who was wearing a helmet, was knocked unconscious by a 27-year-old man who lost control and ploughed into him at high speed.

Brook was airlifted to a hospital in Toulouse where he has had an operation to remove a section of his skull to relieve pressure on his brain.

The other skier suffered broken ribs and a punctured lung and is recovering in hospital. Police have launched an investigation into Sunday’s accident.

Yesterday, his entrepreneur father Louis, 40, said doctors have told him they cannot be sure of the extent of the brain damage until Brook wakes up.

Mr Hill, of Wrenbury, Cheshire, said: ‘Brook is stable and we are hoping he wakes up soon.

‘He’s a tough little chap and a real fighter, so our fingers are crossed.

'He has not, as yet, opened his eyes and ‘woken up’ so things still remain in the balance and doctors are reluctant to give any prognosis until he can answer questions or respond to instructions.

Meditation - making the most of it

• The first piece of advice I have to give is to make sure you find a quiet, secluded place to create an environment for success. 
• Make sure you are comfortable. A good idea is to sit in a chair which needs to be the right height. Sitting @ the front of the chair will put your hips slightly higher than your knees. Your feet should be firmly on the floor. However, if you prefer to lie down, sit crossed legged, that's okay too - just be comfortable.
• Decide on a time which suits your daily routine. If necessary set yourself a reminder on your phone or other device. I always enjoy my  meditation either first thing in the morning or last thing at night. However, the most important thing is that it is a time that suits YOU.
• Another good idea is to keep notes.  This is a useful tool which will allow you to look back and see the positive shifts you have experienced, remind you of the work you have already done and  substantiate your daily practice.

Above all - enjoy it. You'll find out for yourself how invaluable it is.

Love and Light

Yey my 500th post!

ARE YOU A CARROT, AN EGG OR A COFFEE BEAN?

A young woman went to her mother and told her about her life and how things were so hard for her. She did not know how she was going to make it and wanted to give up. She was tired of fighting and struggling. It seemed as one problem was solved a new one arose.

Her mother took her to the kitchen. She filled three pots with water. In the first, she placed carrots, in the second she placed eggs and the last she placed ground coffee beans. She let them sit and boil without saying a word.

In about twenty minutes she turned off the burners. She fished the carrots out and placed them in a bowl. She took the eggs out and placed them in a bowl. Then she ladled the coffee out and placed it in a bowl.

Turning to her daughter, she asked, "Tell me what do you see?"

"Carrots, eggs, and coffee," she replied.

She brought her closer and asked her to feel the carrots. She did and noted that they were soft. She then asked her to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell, she observed the hard-boiled egg. Finally, she asked her to sip the coffee. The daughter smiled, as she tasted its rich aroma.

The daughter then asked. "What does it mean, mother?"

Her mother explained that each of these objects had faced the same adversity—boiling water—but each reacted differently.

The carrot went in strong, hard and unrelenting. However after being subjected to the boiling water, it softened and became weak.

The egg had been fragile. Its thin outer shell had protected its liquid interior. But, after sitting through the boiling water, its inside became hardened.

The ground coffee beans were unique, however. After they were in the boiling water they had changed the water.

"Which are you?" she asked her daughter. "When adversity knocks on your door, how do you respond? Are you a carrot, an egg, or a coffee bean?"

Think of this: Which am I? Am I the carrot that seems strong, but with pain and adversity, do I wilt and become soft and lose my strength?

Am I the egg that starts with a malleable heart, but changes with the heat? Did I have a fluid spirit, but after a death, a breakup, a financial hardship or some other trial, have I become hardened and stiff? Does my shell look the same, but on the inside am I bitter and tough with a stiff spirit and a hardened heart?

Or am I like the coffee bean? The bean actually changes the hot water, the very circumstance that brings the pain. When the water gets hot, it releases the fragrance and flavor.

If you are like the bean, when things are at their worst, you get better and change the situation around you. When the hours is the darkest and trials are their greatest do you elevate to another level?

How do you handle Adversity? Are you a Carrot, an egg, or a coffee bean?

One day @ a time

Tough times are more manageable when we pay attention to making decisions and taking action on only the next step. Fearful preoccupations or worries about imagined future problems can leave us open to illness, accidents and errors of judgement that compound our problems. Simplify your activities and concentrate your precious energy on what is critically important @ this moment.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY - POSITIVE INNER DIALOGUE

KEEP YOUR INNER DIALOGUE POSITIVE...
AS YOU GO THROUGH YOUR DAY, MAKE SURE THAT WHAT YOU ARE SAYING TO YOURSELF IS SOMETHING YOU WOULD WANT TO HEAR.
NOTHING GOOD CAN COME FROM BEATING YOURSELF UP FOR MISTAKES MADE.
IF YOU DO MAKE A MISTAKE, LEARN FROM IT AND MOVE ON.

INTRODUCTION TO DR BACH'S HEALING REMEDIES (part 2)

Dr Bach now felt he could devote his time and his life to the search for the pure remedies which would help the sufferer to rise above his unhappy thoughts. These new remedies he knew must be there for the finding in nature, amongst trees and plants, for all our needs are provided for in nature by our Creator.

He already knew the principles of the new method of treatment: 'Treat the patient not his disease', for when the negative thoughts had been overcome, the body would also respond.

So in 1930 he gave up his work in London without a backward thought and went to live in the country.

Throughout all those years in medical practice he had been seeking for scientific proof of all his findings and using his intellect, but now a change occured in himself. He became very sensitive in mind and body.

Before finding a particular flower, he would suffer in himself and very acutely, the negative state of mind for which that flower was needed and, at the same time, he was privileged, as he said, to suffer from some of the physical complaint. Then he would wander about the fields and lanes until he found, or was led to find, the flower which would immediately restore his serenity and peace of mind, and within a few hours the physical complaint would also be healed.

In this way he found 38 flowers to cover the 38 negative states of mind from which mankind can suffer. These flowers, with three exceptions, are all simle wild flowers of the countryside. He prepared the flowers only, for they frow above the ground in the sunlight and the air and contain in their hearts the embryo seed, the continued life of the plant. You will know of course, many of them - gorse, heather, honeysuckle, wild rose, chicory, agrimony - and the flowers of our well-known trees - oak, beech, willow, larch.

Dr Bach placed the 38 remedies in seven groups. Those for fear; for uncertainty and indecision; for loneliness; for insufficient interest in present circumstances; for oversensitiveness to ideas and influences; for dispondency and despair; for over-care for the welfare of others.

In his little booklet 'The Twelve Healers and Other Remedies', he describes very simply the negative state of mind of each of these remedies."

Nora Weeks 1973

For further reading on Dr Bach's life there is a book by Nora Weeks called "The Medical Discoveries of Dr Edward Bach Physician"

INTRODUCTION TO DR BACH'S HEALING REMEDIES (part 1)

The following is an excerpt from a talk given by Nora Weeks who was a loyal, steadfast and devoted helper to Dr Bach. She dedicated most of her life to his work, upholding his principles and the most fundimental essence of all, its simplicity.

"Will you for the next half hour or so, turn your thoughts from healing of the sick body to the healing of the sick person, for Dr Edward Bach, after many years of research, gained the knowledge that our physical health depends on our way of thinking, our feelings and emotions.
Good health is harmony, rhythm, when we think positively, constructively, happily. Ill-health is when we think negatively, unhappily, destructively.
Such is the power of thought, the power man has over his body which is, after all, only the vehicle, the car he uses on his journey through life on earth.
As some of you may not know anything about the Dr Bach Remedies, I would first of all like to tell you about Dr Bach himself and how he developed this method of treatment and found the Flower Remedies.
The family came originally from Wales. Edward Bach trained and qualified at University College Hospital and gained the Diploma of Public Health (D.P.H.) at Cambridge in the early 1900's. He was rather an unusual medical student, for he soon became more interested in the patients themselves than their diseases. He would sit by their bedsides and let them talk to him, and listening to them he found out the real cause of their ill-health. For instance, the woman with severe asthma was a very frightened woman. She told him her only son had taken a job in the north of England over three months ago and she had had no word from him in all that time. She was terrified that he had met with an accident, was badly injured, even that he had died. But one day he came to see her and told her he had found a job nearer home. Within a few days she lost her asthma completely. She no longer needed to hold her breath for her son.
The man with a suspected duodenal ulcer was a very worried man. He had lost his job, his wife was unable to work and he had two young children. Later, when he heard he had been reinstated in his work, he regained his health. He gained his job and lost his ulcer. The medical profession these days says that worry is often the cause of gastric and duodenal ulcers, but it was quite a new idea in those days.
Dr Bach began to feel then that treating the physical symptoms was not enough. The body was a mirror reflecting the thoughts in the mind. It was the sufferer himself, the person, who needed treatment and help to overcome his worries, fears, depressions, hopelessness. He felt that a completely new method of treatment was needed, a practical one, for words were not enough, it was of little use to say to a worried man,  "Don't worry, be happy". But first of all the doctor wanted to prove and test for himself other methods of orthodox medicines and he became a bacteriologist.
 He was well-known for his research work in this branch of medicine, but it did not satisfy him. He was treating bodies, not people, and he much disliked the injection of the products of disease back into the human body. However, these years were not wasted, for he was studying his patients, his friends, everyone he came across, and watching their reactions to all the experiences of daily life; at work and at play, in good health and ill-health; and this knowledge of human nature was to stand him in good stead later on.
Then it was he came into contact with homeopathy, and was delighted to find that Hahnemann, the founder of homeopathy, has said, "The patient is the most important factor in his healing". Also, that homeopathic remedies were prescribed for the peronality of the patient, his characteristics, his idiosyncrasies as well as the physical symptoms.
Dr Bach worked for some time in the laboratories of the Royal London Homeopathic Hospital, and it was there that he became interested in the relationships between intestinal toxaemia and chronic disease. I want to tell you about this briefly because the result of this research brought him a big step forward to his final work.
He isolated seven groups of intestinal flora and prepared nosodes from them homeopathically, giving them to his patients by mouth. Their purpose is to cleanse and purify the intestinal tract. I say "is", for those nosodes, are still being used today. They were so successful.
Then he made a most important and significant discovery. It was this: all the patients suffering from the same emotional difficulties needed the same nosode, irrespective of the type of physical disease. Those patients who were subject to violent emotional outburst, brain storms, all needed the same nosode. Those who were nervous, apprehensive, again all needed another but same nosode, no matter from what physical complaint they suffered.
From then onwards he prescribed those nosodes according to his patients' temperamental difficulties only. There was no need for physical examination of the patient, laboratory tests were unnecessary and treatment could begin at once without delay. The results were excellent.
This confirmed his opinion that physical disease was not of physical origin, but that it was, as he said, 'the consolidation of a mental attitude'...... to be continued

Loving Yourself, Inside and Out

The Light and Power Within
It could be said that our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. More often than not, our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness,  that frightens us most.

We question ourselves... "Who am I to be talented, brilliant, gorgeous, wonderful?"

When we should be saying "Actually, Who am I not to be?"

We are all children of God. Our `playing small´ does not serve the world. 
There is nothing enlightened about belittling ourselves so that others won't feel insecure around us.

We are all meant to shine, just as children do.

We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.
It is not just in some of us - it is in everyone...

As we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
When we are liberated from our own fear, our light automatically helps liberate others.
