When life gives you lemons...
As best I'm able I try to hold to a positive attitude but personal health challenges can make that quite difficult at times.
Five years ago I was given an official diagnosis of MS and just last year, Diabetes and then there is a short list of other odds & ends. I see it as Karma from both, past lives and the present. Not in the sense that I've been a horrible person but in the sense that I tend to take on the karma of others when I do healing work... and before anyone starts saying I need to protect myself better, I can assure you I take some serious steps on that front before and after each session. However, there are those of us that come into this world as a kind of psychic sponge or "sin eater" as some call us and it is our destiny to absorb such things. If one were to step outside the commercial realms of today's heavily Eastern influenced Psi world, you would find reference to this condition within most Shaman/Pagan traditions as well as other modes of Mysticism.
I do not mean to come off as crass but I'm far more a realist than I am the deluded dreamer so many in our world tend to become. Again, I know that sounds seriously "negative" but the truth often does. My intent not being to hurt anyone, just to challenge folks in being a bit more honest about things... I don't pull punches or speak in politically correct metaphors, I call a pile of dung what it is and it's that simple.
When it comes to hugs... I think they are a must in life, to both give as well as receive. Sadly, living on the East Coast of the U.S. has robbed me from the openness and hugging culture I knew when living in California. I got a bit spoilt while being out there and now I exist in a region that isn't just cold temperature wise, but likewise within its culture. It is a sad thing actually, people not knowing what they are missing out on and feeling it a threat when someone like myself, meets them with a big hug of appreciation. Odd, wouldn't you say?
