Healing-Full Moon-Lunar Eclipse

Healing is one part of the story. Then there is the influence of the planets with their cycles, equinoxes, solstices and then there are the cycles of the moon and Eclipses.
Talking about having your hands full.

It's not always easy to keep track of everything but it is quite a relief when we do, to be reminded that no matter how much healing we do, we are still influenced by these factors. Sometimes we need to be patient while other times we need to grab the opportunity because of the auspicious alignments that say: "Hey, luck is on your side, the doors are open and it's easier to put into action now what you have been waiting to act upon".

It's full moon tonight, and we also have a lunar eclipse. A very important time, the effects of which are felt before and after and they are connected to a nineteen year cycle. What happened in 1992 and 1973 that is felt today? For some, nothing terribly significant, for others, lots was going on, and suddenly we feel thrown into a whirlwind of emotions that throw us in all directions. One minute we feel amazing, the next really down and depressed, or totally overwhelmed with all the things that need doing.

Riding the waves it's something we must learn to master if we want to get through these times. We sit and we let the emotions run havoc, we take some Flower Remedies, (they always, always work wonders) and we address some of the emotions, and if we are really brave we do some digging in the past (which is always part of the healing anyway).
I know, it can get really tiring and tedious, tell me about it. Sometimes, I just want to shout, "I have had enough of doing healing, where is my reward?"

And then, meekly, I get on with it, because I know that when something is eating me up, or I feel really dreadful,  once the healing has happened I will feel on top the waves again.
What I have learned is that doing healing at these times is particularly effective and incredibly powerful, because you are directly connected to those times where there is a leak through - the emotions from the past that are affecting you in the now.

So if you are feeling strangely overwhelmed, angry or depressed, if things suddenly get out of control, and you think you are losing the plot ... hang on it there and start digging. Soon you will find what beliefs and emotions you felt at those times, and you can release them from your field by undoing those beliefs (it is that easy), and you can use the power of the full moon-eclipse to establish a new way of thinking, a new program that will take you through the next nineteen year cycle.

Once you have identified what beliefs you created about yourself then, you can see that those beliefs are still affecting you now. You will also find all the emotions that you suppressed because it was not safe for you to express them at the time. You have the power and the safety to express them now.
If anger is what you felt, get some big, fat pillows and punch them until you have no breath left.
If you felt depressed an unwanted, breathe all those emotions out, until there are no tears left, and a sense of peace will prevail.

Use your breath and your words. "I undo this belief, (whatever that is) and this emotion", and breathe it out.

Get busy today, tonight and tomorrow, these are great times to make fantastic stride forward.
You can take some remedies to help you, like Walnut to break from the past, Hornbeam if you are a procrastinator, Gentian, if you are getting depressed, or Elm if you are too overwhelmed.

Healing - Cats and Bach Flowers

I do emotional healing with myself and with clients. Can't do it with cats. So when they need healing I resort to the infallible healing power of nature and the Bach Flowers, which I became acquainted with, well over twenty years ago.

Rescue Remedy as most of you know is made of a combination of flowers: Cherry Plum, Clematis, Impatients, Rock Rose and Star of Bethlehem. This little bottle comes very handy in time of stress, sudden changes such as frights, unpleasant news or anything that jolts you out of sync.

One of my cats, got injured quite badly. She came home after a few days of unknown whereabouts, with  a huge cut under her armpit which had pus and was not smelling very good. I cut the collar that was stuck in the wound and that had probably been the cause of the cut and immediately applied to it a mixture of: Rescue Remedy for the trauma, Crab Apple for cleansing and Agrimony for the inner torture; the cat was not showing distress outwardly but it was obviously in pain when I touched her.

The rational part of me said, 'take her to the vet'.  But as I am not too keen on drugs, I thought I'd take the chance. I am a healer after all, and not only of emotions! If things got worse I would have gone, but I had to give it a shot. So I cleaned the wound very, very gently with water and a few drops of the above mixture, put some of the same drops in Chess' mouth, (the kitty) and let her be. She relaxed knowing she was being taken care of and she laid on her good side purring away. I laid my hands on her connecting to the healing power of her body asking for the energy to do its job. The smell was gone by the following morning.

Chess stayed indoors for three days, sleeping most of the time. She was eating well and she could get up and have a little stretch here and there. I kept giving her the mixture, on the wound and via mouth for the three days, up to five times per day and of course gave her attention and more healing. By the third day, she wanted to go and she disappeared for half the afternoon. I was a bit worried that the wound, which was still open, might get infected. But it did not. It was healing fast and remarkably well, considering she could have done with at least five stitches, as the slash was quite long.

It has been over a week now since she got injured and she is doing really well. I still keep up the drops, but not as often. Nature has taken over and the cat is almost back to normal.
The hair missing along the under armpit, will eventually grow back, and the wound is almost closed.

The Bach Flowers and the healing power of nature will never cease to amaze me!
