taking care of yourself...

What are you thinking about? What do you read? What do you watch? Are you taking care of yourself in all of that?

I did volunteer healing work after September 11th for 8 1/2 months, spending the last 4 1/2 months in the command center trailer of the Port Authority Police Department at Ground Zero. I became very good friends with the Port Authority cops I was doing healing sessions with, including Lt. Bill Keegan, who was the night commander of the whole operation. Lt. Keegan wrote a book at the 5 year anniversary of 9/11 called "Closure", and although he invited me to a book signing many months ago, I couldn't go, so it was easy for me to avoid reading the book. But after e-mailing back and forth with a widow of a PAPD officer who contacted me recently, I decided to get the book and to read it in honor of all the guys and everything that happened down there. "Closure" is truly amazing - wonderful writing - it has you sitting on the edge of your seat as a read...and after reading 75 pages, I find that I can't read it after all. Not me. Too much happened to me down there. With my Reiki hands, I touched all those guys who were going through all of that, and I felt their feelings shoot through me like electric bolts of lightening. The words take me back to that time and place too vividly. I don't want to go there again.

I've worked hard to return myself to normal, and now I have my heart and mind full of the Goddess and of Her Light. I don't wish to go back, though I love the guys and Lt. Keegan for all they are and for all they have done, and I affirm that the Goddess will bless them always....

So that brings me to the present. I don't read things that are negative, I don't watch the news, I hardly watch any TV. I don't want to put bad things into my mind and heart - listening to my higher self has brought me to this place of engaging only with what I choose to "vibrate with". Science is proving that the chemistry of any person's body changes in relation to what they are thinking and feeling. (see "The God Code" on myspace.com)

Be good to yourself!

Raven - What a wonderful blog!!!! So positive and reaffirming. Your explanation of the things you use for your sessions is very helpful as I like knowing that you use the prayer to Isis with the AWAKE AWAKE AWAKE. Now everytime I see that AWAKE tea from Starbucks, I can hear you!
I think it takes a conscious effort to remain positive in today's world. It's hard to get the news without getting so much negavite stuff along with it. We have become a country of whiners (should be winers-that would be better) and have lost sight of just enjoying every day we are on this beautiful planet. Every person who devotes herself (or himself) to positive living is sending positive energy back to Mother Earth and the Goddess Energy that surrounds us. Isn't that much better than draining Gaia, Isis, or whatever name she chooses to use with a lot of complaining. Giving energy instead of sucking it out of her. Empowering both ways.
Keep sharing your wonderful energy with us all. Nancy
