April 2007 Prayer, Light and Healing Requests:

The spirits of the mountain exist in strength.
Their roots are deep in the Earth, their heads pierce the air and mount to the sky above.
They dance from flat to peak and, spiraling, descend again.
Good Ones, when I come under your trees and upon your stones, guide me.

Just a little something to help us all contemplate the beauty and power that is our planet, our Universe, at this time of the year - so full of life, (re)growth and new beginnings.

Blessings to all ~

March 2007's Thread: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.ph...

I ask that all energies that are put into this thread be magnified/amplified beyond our ability to comprehend. (This or something better for the highest good of all involved.) I thank those beings that work with us in these threads for their beautiful service/gift to humanity.

I've got a gig tonight at a College from 9-1 am (Ughhh) and it's located just under 3 hours away.

I have to drive through windy roads through the foothills. There is no highway that goes there for 2/3rds of the way.

Transiting Mercury is approaching my decendant and transiting Uranus and the North Node.

I've done these sorts of gigs many times over the past 8 years but I've got some weird irrational feelings about the journey.

Could you guys kindly send me some protective light ?

Thanks in advance and great blessings on this thread and on all who post here.

Lovely opening HC.

I ask that the angels surround you to protect you during your journey.

            

    

           


Please stay safe, my friend.

Where pray tell did you find that driving smilie? That is too funny. It makes me wish that I still drove a standard.

I'll be laughing about it all the way there and back.

This particular one was gotten at the following site:

http://runemasterstudios.com/graemlins

There were some other driving smilies. I chose the one that looked the calmest and safest. Here are the other ones there:

The top one looks more like the wheel of a ship and I do NOT intend on burnin' any rubber really.

LOL

May you be safe, well and SUCCESSFUL!

safe trip home, too

This kinda stuff never phased me at all before now.

I've driven across country five times mostly without incident and it's weird that it does now but part of it is my low beams are really really low and I should get them adjusted again.

I drove those boxy model Volvos ("boxy but good") for 28 years and now I've a model that handles really differently. It's really front loaded and truly stinks in the snow.

The visibility issue is huge though and I hate being rude and using high beams obnoxiously.

This is such a trivial issue really but I was really dealing with a huge wave of paranoia about this trip for some weird reason and under far less than tranquil aspects.

The kids were great as always though.

Or as I keep telling a friend who is really ridiculously nostalgic for the last millennium. . . "The kids are all right. . .the kids are all right. . .the kids are all right. . ." LOL

Thanks again. Now I'll stop hijacking the prayer thread and mea culpa for doing so.

Makes my Pagan heart warm. Speaking of which, I have a gratitude and request.
I feel as Mother Earth gave me a special gift today, a piece of her in the form of a gold quartz pendulum. It picked me out a few weeks ago, and I had to say yes. It was a beautiful hill country spring day. Work is going well. I just felt fortunate to be alive.

However (isn't there always), I am stressing myself out at home. My "rm is driving me nutz". I know it is my thinking and resistance that is the real culprit. I need some help accepting and letting it be as it is. I don't need to be driving myself crazy.

Thanks to all.

Remembering that "it found you" ... just like your rm found you ... so it/he must be in your life for a reason ...

Meditate on the quartz and see what peace it brings.


Hugs and best to you as always ~

I went to the Abraham Hicks meetup today. We viewed the first DVD from "The Art of Allowing".
It was awesome. I came home thanking Source for all the ways rm helps. Pays rent, doesn't make a mess, is very quiet, PUTS UP WITH ME! When I got home, he had gone above and beyond (as usual) by doing some things around here. That accomplished will let off a lot of the steam that builds up by the former arrangement which had him underfoot a lot of the time.



I wonder if wonder-agent knows what a special lady you are?

that it help you and your roommate to find peace.

Thank you

be rendered harmless, and your energy field remain pristinely yours.

(Forgive my use of the word God, but I'm quoting here)

God grant me the serenity
To accept the things I cannot change
The courage to change the things I can
And wisdom to know the difference.

I find the attitude expressed in the prayer very helpful when I get stressed out. What I often do is ask myself, is there anything I can do about this right now? If the answer is, No, it makes it easier for me to let go of what I am stressing about. And in that letting go, my mind is often cleared to where I do get an idea of something to do about a situation. At the very least, I am able to calm myself.

Very good advice! Thank you for your prayer.

May all the beautiful and beneficial energies surround this thread.

gratitude

One of the many things I have so liked about this prayer thread
is all the diverse prayers and beliefs presented. I just love
all the fresh energy coming from so many different sources. And a chance
to learn about various faiths.

(I have requests for two people, but want to post them separately.)

I have a co-worker who is terminally ill (lung cancer that has spread to his brain). There is nothing that can be done. I have seen him a few times recently, and sadly, I didn't even recognize him. However, he does seem peaceful and content.

Quite simply, I ask for peace in his passing.

I also ask that he be given the opportunity to pass along to the medical community the knowledge he possesses. He is a specialized doctor with decades of extensive hands-on experience, and I have heard many people comment that by losing him, society will lose information that no one else knows. His death could potentially result in the loss of other people.

May he have the strength and ability to share his knowledge before he is too sick to do so.

Thank you.

I ask that he remain at peace in reference to his situation, that he's able to complete everything that needs to be completed before his passing, and that his passing be easy.

I ask that the holy beings that help with transition be with him during this time and that he can feel their loving presence and take comfort from this. (This or something better for the highest good of all involved.)

may he be embraced by light.

Let us hope his karma allows it.
And that he share what he can before going.

However his knowledge will stay with him on the other side
and it will be used for healing where it is needed here on Earth.

Some of us are in training here and it will be used for the greater
good when we pass over.

I read news stories that mention a cancer doctor, but there was no mention of lung cancer.
So I'm not sure if it is the same? If you care to say.

Either way, a very courageous story. No problem of mine could compare with facing that.
And so it is.

I don't think his health has made the news because he isn't high-profile. The surgeon he works with is the one with the recognizable name.

For some Houston doctors?

This was the doctor I read about >
http://www.khou.com/news/local/stories/khou070322_ac_br...

http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/sports/run/4651230....

A woman doctor:
http://abclocal.go.com/ktrk/story?section=health&id=514...

My favorite aunt died quickly from brain cancer 9 years ago a few weeks after my dad went with common bile duct cancer. He outlived their prognosis of six months by 1.5 years.

Will keep you and your loved ones in thoughts and prayers.

I figured she had died because the last surgery she had brought devastating news. Still, her death had not been well-publicized to let the rest of us know, so you have answered a question for me.

And may others benefit from the work he has done, and the knowledge he possesses.

For my FIL.

I just found out on Friday that my FIL has stage D heart failure (D is the worst stage). He has always had heart problems, but I did not realize how severe it is.

However, if he took better care of himself, he would actually benefit. If he exercised, lost weight, and ate a healthier diet, he would see significant improvements in his health and might actually help stop the progression of his disease.

He is young and could have many quality years left. I think that he has had heart problems for so long, he just thinks of early death as inevitable. So I ask that he recognize that he has the power to make a difference in his own well-being and that he could have many years of enjoyment left to spend with his grandchildren who love him so dearly.

Thank you.

Of course, he has free will, but if it is indeed his desire to remain on this Earthly plane longer, I ask that he realize the steps that he needs to take to make this desire come to fruition. (This or something better for the highest good of all involved.)

for your FIL

in this field for exactly what you described. It can be reversed. The man who inspired The Sedona Method, Lester Levenson, did it.

It is truly an organ with a mind of its own >
http://www.heartmath.org /

Sending warmth for his heart to heal.

long life.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.ph...

aA is a dear friend.

Thanks, KitchenWitch.

I had not seen that thread. Just posted.

and continue to see an increase in positive energy flow both into my life and flowing out from me.

and may you become an even better conduit for that energy, inflowing and outflowing.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.ph...

Made me very sad. I hope some peace can be found here.

Poor Dangerously Amused (and bro). It breaks my heart to think of him trapped in that situation.

It's frustrating just reading the post. Thanks for directing us to it.

Sigh. So difficult to experience.

I've got that prayerbook sitting right next to me.

Much light and love to those who need it in this thread.

Blessings to you as well, my friend!

Let's hope this gets straightened out. Thanks, and in return, I will send out my special brand of positive vibes to all in need here.

and light for BlueIris & and loving light to the IRS people in charge of review.

Right back.

Even though I knew somewhat how much toxins we pump into our environment and into all living organisms - I am yet again appalled at what we find these days...

It has been a few weeks since I last send light to our plant specifically on this, and I thought I post this request as a reminder to myself...

Sending light to all those, who are in a position to control these toxins

and

light of strength to our planet to render the substances harmless

It is most definitely needed.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.ph...

I know I've over personalized having even really vague (ie "Happy Eclipse") astro stuff locked or moved or kicked off the Greatest and I didn't watch the video in question but I really, really, really feel helderheid's absence already.

Healing to her and hope she reconsiders.

Some sacred cows need a good tipping every once in a while.

that she is at least taking a break. Hopefully, if she chooses to return, it will be with a clearer mindset.

lots of healing and positive energies...

I have a job interview ("the" job interview) on Monday morning.

I need confidence, clarity of thought and expression, and a fine getup to wear to the interview.

This interview represents a huge switch for me. I'm a little speechless about it.

D

You'll wow 'em I'm sure.

This job would mean a switch to the private sector, after years spent working for peanuts in non-profit and/or higher ed. I don't know why I think that's such a risk, but I'm so tired of playing it safe.

I almost pm'd you in a panic this morning with a request for advice on what time I should schedule the interview for. I took a deep breath and asked myself what would be best: Easy Peasy.

I feel like Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz - the answer she was looking for was with her the whole time, no? I wonder how ruby slippers would look in an interview...

Best of luck to you!

I think I would not have had the nerve to even apply without the kindness and encouragement I've encountered in This Room.

Job stuff... I know you know how it goes, woman. We're getting there.

that you will walk into a complementary and harmonious energy field

Blessings to you!

For her, of course. She is very sad and frustrated tonight.

someone behind their back. . .?

Kidding. It just always strikes me as funny when people refer to themselves in the third person.

Hope you feel much better today and have a delightful Easter as I wish for all.

Sending you light and strength as well.

Info on Jupiter retrograde:

Jupiter retrograde is when the things we think we need but aren't really adding to our growth, are somehow removed from our lives. The end result is beneficial and the quest to understand is the journey and the teaching.

When Jupiter is retrograde, there is a feeling that things are not going well, or that it is taking more effort or time to reach success. Jupiter is about justice and requires soul searching to see truth. Jupiter is the planet of expansion and inflation, so there will be a pulling back or a deflation. At the beginning of the retrograde, there is a yo-yo effect of all Jupiter qualities, so we may see things go up, inflated egos, and then a crash. Then they go up again quickly only to see another down cycle.

During the retrograde period, even the most seemingly insignificant of obstacles could throw a long-term monkey wrench into any plans you've made. Sounds sinister, but in actuality this is a positive -- not to mention cyclically natural -- opportunity for you to step back and ensure that your actions are in line with your goals. That which is inaccessible today will prove unnecessary in the long run; further, the actual withholding will turn out to be a blessing in disguise.

Everyhing in a retro will seem long and drawn out.

On a personal level it should be a introspective period of time where each person should search for his life purpose or to see how their lives and actions are positioned based on this. We should expand on inside and to become more closer with our inner nature and our soul. Depending on the transits that Jupiter is making on your natal chart you should pay attention to that particular aspects of your life.

BI posted her request EXACTLY 10 minutes before the Moon conjoined Jupiter.

The Moon will square Mercury at 5:14 pm EDT and will conjoin Pluto at 9:35 pm EDT.

Think I'm going to blow off a family get together under these aspects but there are other reasons as well.

Happy Easter anyway.

Disappointments and hurt from family and friends.
Feelings of rejection, abandonment. Let down by others.
Things are long and drawn out, deep issues.
Frustrations, career and money wise.

T Jup is hitting my chart hard:

square n Moon 14 Pisces
trine n Jup 15 Aries
semi sex n Mars 14 Scorpio
sextile n Sat 14 Libra

Activating my grand water trine and my cardinal grand cross.
Also one of my yods.
Karma time......

amateur status when discussing astrology. I do try to learn a few things.
Don't know how to do degrees and don't have an ephemeris (or really how to read one).
Guess part of that is having lived with someone for years who could read it and explain what was going on. . .

However, my chart has this >
Jupiter trine Ascendant Beginning of January 2007 until end of August 2007
Jupiter trine Sun Mid January 2007 until mid September 2007
Uranus trine Jupiter Mid March 2007 until mid February 2008

The sun is in the 1st house and Uranus in 12th.
That's rather scary. I might start seeing visions.

Transits, especially traditional astrology is not my area of expertise.
But I think that is what you are looking at. Good stuff.

From a karmic standpoint it can be good luck and expansion or over the top, indulgence. Most likely the former since it is a trine.

I feel some expansion. Ouch.

Also self indulgent today. Eating donut holes

Donut holes don't sound so bad calorie wise, they are so tiny.

The bunny didn't bring me any sweets. Glad you had a dinner worth stuffing yourself.

Easter bunny brought some nice chocolates.
And there was pie too.

It is snowing outside now, unusual weather.
Makes me want to eat.

I am going on a diet tomorrow.

My ego was, um, high the last couple of days. The "crash," which was relatively minor, hit me hard. (Roommate was mean to me; it made me sadder than it should have.)

And despite the fact that nothing has really changed about my situation except my perspective on it, everything seems so bleak right now.

Very up and down. With set backs and disappointments.

But maybe a time to let go of some things.

Thanks, retrograde Jupiter, and fellow A, S & AH posters. And guides. Not to mention rutilated quartz--which really can help one get to the root of all problems. I understand more about what's been keeping me away from finding the job I need. It wasn't that complicated, actually. Something about fear of succcess--carried out to a rather extreme degree.

Epiphanies rule!

this thread and the people it represents and our blessed mother, gaia earth in all my highest, purest light of love.

and grieving and guilty and worried. Not for any reason, probably for all of them. The news really has me down. I need a hug.

crik here ya go



I know what you mean. Mercury at the last degree of Pisces having squared Pluto the fog of distortion is especially thick right now and all this focus on hatred and racism and sexism. Ughhh

Let's hope it's a purge.

Maybe we should smudge DU now.

The only sage I have is in the garden. I appreciate your note, and I think I'm okay now. I think I just needed to say something out loud.

Thanks for the hug

Mercury will go into Aries at 7:07 pm EDT tonight.

That'll lighten the cerebral load a bit.

Venus is about to move from Taurus to Gemini at 10:15 pm EDT tomorrow night.

Those personal planets at critical degrees can feel like what the I Ching calls "critical mass". It'll free up real soon.

Glad your pooch cheered you as well.

I'm also sending love & light your way! I hope that you feel better soon.

my dog decided she was ravenously hungry. Earlier she wouldn't even take tea and honey. She's and old lady who came to us about a year ago and she's got a weird stomach. I think I wasn't helping with my worry.

She ate and I'm much relieved, on that front.

Thanks for your support and reassurance! And to everyone who read but didn't post. This is a wonderful forum.

-c

Freedom is your divine right. You are free to think wonderful thoughts. You move beyond past limitations into freedom. You are now becoming all that you are created to be.

I feel better. Thanks.

Here is a and some to help you through ...

I lurk here a lot. I love this forum and read here daily but don't post much.

I would like to ask for healing for my beloved daughter who has been diagnosed
with Epsten Barr and CMV virus. Her health has been in a serious state of decline
for the last decade. She is now too tired and weak to do much and feels her
professional and personal life slipping away.

She is the best person I know. I appreciate you holding her in the Light
and sending her healing energy.

Thank you for letting me post this.

OB

Thank you for posting her need and your concern here.

I appreciate it.

And I would be very happy to send prayers and lights to the others on this
thread needing it.

All the best... OB

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.ph...

And a little light for the family can't hurt.

but it just is very.....you know.

sending light also to the matching donor..wherever he/she may be

Thanks...

Sigh. I have one of those "principle of the matter" situations that is just consuming me and all I can do is get over it.

I'm dealing with a service business that is being rigid, unreasonable, and providing really bad customer service. And I can't win the argument. It's a family-owned business, there's no one higher on the totem pole to complain to and they just aren't going to budge. Numerous people have complained and it has fallen on deaf ears. (We're all backed against a wall because pulling our business means disappointing and punishing our kids for something that isn't their fault.) I have a workaround to the problem that is inconvenient and stressful for me, but there's nothing else I can do because I don't want to risk making the situation worse.

But I must admit, I can't stand injustice, so this is really eating at me and I just can't let it go. And I'm further infuriated because I've repeatedly donated my time and my services to them over the years to the tune of a few thousand dollars, so now I'm feeling very unappreciated.

Unfortunately, now I can't concentrate and I've even lost my appetite. I talked about it with friends thinking I would feel better, but they were just as appalled as I am, so that actually made it worse.

Help.

One way to look at it is to think about it as your not really knowing what's happening behind the scenes. I like to think of life as a tapestry, and while we're in this world, we can only see the back of it (with all of the knots, etc.) The front of it is absolutely beautiful, and it's not until we get to the other side that we can actually recognize this and see what any particular situation added to us (because we're really the tapestry, after all).

If I were in your situation, I would just try to act with integrity every step of the way; I think that this is what is expected of us by the Universe in situations like this. Much good may be happening because of this situation in ways unknown to you.

I'm still sorry that you have to go through this.

That is a helpful thought, and I know it to be true, so I will focus on integrity and what is best for all involved.

Hopefully, they will open their minds and walk a mile in their customer's shoes so that this problem does not happen again or cause them to lose business.

... I know it's probably not helpful to you in the "here and now" but know that somewhere down the road, even though you may not be involved - or even see it - they'll be visited with 'theirs'.

The doing unto will come back to haunt them.

In the meantime, for you, take strength in knowing that the Universe doesn't overlook people like them, and that you will get over it and some little kernel of goodness will come your way from tolerating that injustice in as graceful a way as you possibly can.

Oh, and taking a good long walk in the woods punctuated with cuss words and hand gestures never hurt either.

Sounds like the title to a country western song!

(I meant to post it last week at Passover.)

Prayer invites God to let the Divine Presence suffuse our spirits, to let the Divine Will prevail in our lives. Prayer cannot bring water to a parched field, nor mend a broken bridge, nor rebuild a ruined city. But prayer can water an arid soul, mend a broken heart, and rebuild a weakened will.

would be much appreciated.

I hate Jupiter retrograde.

for a speedy and full recovery...

eom

May they find peace.

What goes on in Texas, truly?

I think the issue with the collect phone call stems from this scam:

http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/scams/forward.asp

I've never ever had multiple interviews for a job. This meeting is with the CEO. I'm nervous as a bunny, but happy, happy.

I need clarity, comprehension, and lucidity. And a smokin' hot getup to wear.

And some dry palms for my handshake.

Thanks, thanks, thank you, thanksgiving!

Good luck! I'm sure that you'll be a smashing success!

I'm asking the Universe to let you get this job as long as it is for the highest good of all involved.

I'm feeling it!

Clarity, comprehension and lucidity--check. But in truth, it sounds like you've already got it in the bag.

All brightest blessings to you!

in this thread.

... my horoscope for this coming week says that the "psychic" window is open for me, which is in complete agreement synchronistic things that have been happening and experiences which have reinforced my "sixth (seventh?) sense" over the past couple weeks.

Therefore, I am going to try in a very positive way to begin to manifest something that I've been dancing around for awhile. I've had near misses with it: probably because I wasn't 100% certain that I wanted it in my life. Or maybe I just wasn't really ready to accept it.

Would appreciate any thoughts, hints, etc. as I re-approach this goal, this time from a humble perspective and with earnest and true intentions.

Thanks all !

I'm not someone who has the gift of being able to offer wise advise as many people here are able to do, but I ask that the Universe direct you so that you handle this correctly and that your highest good is the outcome.

Good luck and congratulations on deciding to take the next step!
