Engergizing tip

Today was rather dull, and I found myself dwelling in my gloom. Despite not wanting to stay in that state, I had a list of activities to do but still felt a resistance.

I motivated myself to rise and began channeling energy from my feet up to the crown chakra at the top of my head. As I continued to nurture and elevate it throughout my body, I felt significantly better afterward.

I grabbed my journal and started writing my way out of this mood. Try it, it works!

Types of Loss

Certainly! Loss comes in many forms, and each experience is deeply personal. Here are some common types of loss:

  1. Bereavement: The loss of a loved one through death. This can be a family member, friend, or pet. Grief associated with bereavement can be intense and enduring.
  2. Miscarriage or Stillbirth: Losing a pregnancy can be incredibly painful. Parents often grapple with feelings of sadness, guilt, and longing.
  3. Divorce or Separation: The end of a significant relationship can lead to feelings of grief, especially if there were shared dreams and memories.
  4. Job Loss: Losing employment can impact self-esteem, financial stability, and overall well-being.
  5. Loss of Health: Chronic illness, disability, or a sudden health decline can be emotionally challenging.
  6. Loss of Identity: Major life transitions (such as retirement or becoming an empty-nester) can lead to a sense of loss of identity and purpose.
  7. Loss of Dreams or Expectations: When life doesn’t unfold as planned, we may mourn the loss of our envisioned future.

Keep in mind that each person’s experience with loss is distinct, and it’s crucial to respect your emotions during these challenging times. Should you wish to delve into coping mechanisms or talk about any particular kind of loss in more detail, don’t hesitate to elaborate, and I will provide a listening ear and support. 🌟

Navigating Loneliness After Loss: A Compassionate Perspective

Losing a child is an indescribable pain, and the loneliness that follows can be equally profound. When a child passes away, the emptiness left behind is palpable—a void that no words or gestures can fill. Here are some insights on coping with this unique form of loneliness:

  1. Acknowledge the Depth of Your Love:
    • Loneliness after losing a child is a testament to the depth of your love. It’s okay to feel this ache—it doesn’t diminish your strength or resilience.
    • Avoid comparing your grief to others’. Each person’s journey is unique, and there’s no “right” way to grieve.
  2. Avoid Confusing Companionship with Completeness:
  3. Connect with Others Who Understand:
  4. Rediscover Rituals and Memories:
    • Create rituals to honor your child’s memory. Light a candle, write letters, or visit a special place.
    • Cherish the moments you shared—the laughter, the tears, and the love. These memories keep your child alive in your heart.
  5. Embrace Self-Compassion:
    • Be gentle with yourself. Guilt and self-blame often accompany grief. Understand that you did your best as a parent.
    • Seek professional support if needed. Therapists specializing in grief can guide you through this painful journey.

Remember, you’re not alone in this lonely path. Others have walked it before you, and their compassion and resilience can inspire your healing. Reach out, share your story, and allow yourself to grieve without judgment. Please feel free to send a message to Lady Hy on the Contact page if you feel a need to talk. 🌟

My inquisitive self

Today, I explored another healing technique using a pendulum. I look forward to sharing my insights with you as I delve deeper. Currently, I’m utilizing charts and finding the process captivating.

I find joy in embarking on a journey through my books, discovering new insights and topics to write about. Although I’ve read numerous books over the years, I must confess that I’ve merely skimmed through many of them. Frequently, I find myself selecting an intriguing book in the bookstore, only to have it remain unopened on my shelf for years. I know I am not alone on this one. Then, one day, it called out to me. It’s the perfect moment. The books almost seem to speak to me, to sing to me. As I look around, there’s always one that stands out more than the rest, one I know I haven’t yet explored. That’s when I realize, it’s time to delve into this one. I wasn’t ready for it when I first brought it home.

I’m always immersed in books, often juggling several at a time. Their narratives begin to intertwine and resonate within my thoughts. Then, as if guided by intuition, I find another book that weaves these threads into a coherent whole, enhancing my understanding in case something is overlooked.

For years, I have pursued this without pause. I’ve longed to pass on this knowledge, and now, you are the one I share it with.

The answers you are looking for are inside!

After years ( I can say years !) of being a truth seeker of many philosophies and religions, I honestly was spinning my wheels looking back. Not one proved to be more fulfilling than the other. If so, it was short lived. The knowledge base I have developed, is amazing, but not quite the whole Akashic records!

For this attention deficit goddess, I was all over the place. I’d get pulled to one then the other. What I didn’t understand, I made charts for. This helped me to put the pieces together. What I found was there was nothing under the sun that is new. Just several different authors spinning the same wheel. This is not necessarily a bad thing. Not all people get the message in the same manner.

The other issues I ran into was seeking a teacher. I wanted a mentor. There were some good ones, some bad ones. The bad teachers were the ones that would not release the student. This was due to their own ego issues. Nothing stopped me, I kept looking. They were there for a purpose. Well they were all there for a purpose, I have come to learn. Some got to show me my shadow side.

Then there were the groups. When I was back in college, I did a paper on cults. They all have a big lie, they tell you who you can or can’t talk to. They let you know you can only be with them in their thinking. When I first started in a group, the information was pretty much interesting and attracted my attention. The people were so friendly. Like most, that is what I needed more than the information, now that I look back on it. Most of the time I got out in time unscathed. There were times I payed a dear price with my mind, body and spirit. I picked up my big girl pants and moved on.

In my autumn to winter years of my life, I have not stopped seeking. By this time, I recognized that both eastern and western thoughts were basically the same. They all had the basic moral laws to live by.

In 1996, I started in my Reiki Energy training. In 2000, I was certified as a Reiki Master/Teacher Certificate. I meditated before, but even more so when healing myself and others. As I pulled the energy down from God through my crown chakra. I learned to be still and clear my mind. By the time I achieved mastery, learned to listen to myself, by getting messages from my higher self. I trust this is God, Goddess, Spirit, Buddha or Allah. Doesn’t matter. I stand on the shoulders of all these great masters. They taught me well. They are all of the collective consciousness. All of them are listening. But the main thing am I? Now I can say yes!

The best lesson I learned, was to ask my higher self if there is something needed to be learned from all this knowledge. I’m laughing now, but my Attention Deficit came in handy. I learned a specific piece of knowledge, got anxious and moved on. It was not meant for me to stay with it, I’d read the book for days if it was truly calling me. Even when someone is being evil and mean There is a reason, they were placed in my movie for me to learn a lesson.

I didn’t do this at the time you were going through the process. But we hold on to these experiences in every cell of our body. It is time to release the negativity. Take a look at what is still ailing ourselves and let it go. It is Never too late.

You Got this

I get sidetracked just like everyone else. That is right, even forget to write on here. Life happens and get distracted. Time flies. Which of these 10 ideas should I write about and then can’t make a decision. Really! I’m regrouping today! One day at a time!

I went to the doctor the other day for my general check up. This doctor did not know me from anything. I did not choose her, my other doctor left. Obviously she hasn’t checked my labs. She looked at me and said I was going to die soon and I needed to get on statins for my cholesterol (numbers normal)and metformin for my diabetes (numbers pre-diabetic). This past year I reversed my diabetes. I stood up for myself and I told her that I have a team of people that help me. Either she joins me or I’ll find another doctor. I was glad that I stood up for myself. However, I was so floored, I came home an ate junk food. I do not do well with abusive behavior.

I do know I have to get back on my plan. I got off it for a bit with dealing with my usual stressful stuff. But I certainly did not deserve that. Knowing that what they call healing is about the bottom line, and having first hand experience is another. What happened with…I see you went up 2 points on your A1C, but your pre-diabetic still, that is good. How can I help you?

This is why I have mostly worked with alternative medicine for several years. I am not perfect and know that. As I look back. I see that I have taken 1 or 2 steps back, not 10. I’m progressing in the direction of my life goal. That is what counts. My time between me being off target and on, is less and less. When you can look at things like that, you are ahead of the game. That is where the control is. Planning, recording time in your schedule. You see proof.

I use the digital calendar, however, I also use a paper planner. I just need to write it down. That writing is my connection for it to sinking into my brain. For me that works. Everyone has a different way to keep themselves organized. Go to your inner voice. She knows the answer! Find yours. Just do it! As I share with you, I remind myself. Have a great day!

Tolerating Dismissiveness

Tolerance comes in many shapes and forms. One side is judging the other. It takes a lot of courage to ignore or fight back the behavior attack towards you. What is missing in many cases, is the understanding on one side or another. Be mindful and compassionate. Take time to listen.

It is important that one recognizes that all information does not necessarily come from the most popular resources. It does concern me when someone just assumes what they hear is all their is without even the considering another position. Taking face value, Just because the scientist isn’t popular in the main stream, does it mean that they are wrong or haven’t done the research. Maybe they have gone through so many trials and tribulations, in order for you to receive the information because others don’t want you to find out. This would concern me. It is important to open our eyes and not just go along. No one says you have to accept everything, but don’t dismiss it totally because it is not the popular. This is an issue with so many topics on so many levels.

I was different, my whole life. I have come to embrace this uniqueness as a positive attribute about myself. I questioned everything especially when I always felt when something just didn’t seem right. My feeling is my higher self, and that I trust. I trust my gut. My feminine intuition or what ever you want to call it. I guess my soul is just not good enough for some. If you are believing something and it is truly what you believe. They are dismissing the very core of your being and that just hurts. Don’t you understand that these people are put into your life to learn. Embrace the challenge. Your soul is inviting you to do this.

At first, I may be taken back by a topic. But then I come back and I’m willing to listen. The act of listening is what actually brings all of us into balance. Our heart smiles !!
