Kundalini yoga is something I am interested in.

The book you mentioned on the other thread also sounds like one I do need to read.

I have a book called A Life of Balance by Maya Tiwari. It's about Ayurvedic eating.

Maya Tiwari was dying of ovarian cancer in her early 20's. She went off to a cabin by herself and basically cried for four months straight. When she had finished her crying, she knew she would be healed.

She had to undergo 11 surgeries (one without anesthesia), heal a rift with her estranged father, and completely remodel her life. But she recovered where others don't. And knew she would when she had finished crying.

After reading that story, I embraced a belief that crying was healing, but I haven't got any more information.

My mother died of ovarian cancer and I see the mind-body connection with special clarity.

One alternative cancer treatment that I read about goes by the assumption that water-logged tissue actually is like a bed that tumors can grow in.

Water-logged = tears uncried?

Hmmm

I don't know what else you have in mind to talk about...I'd like to hear about your experiences, too...but I know you're busy so take your time getting back to me.

Thank you!

Oh My Goodness
Water logged tissues--that gave me the chills.
For me, God is the Loving Father. He gave us simple cures as what father would want us to be cut and burned to be healed. What loving father would want us to spend 1000's on shrinks and psych drugs. That is not God, to me. That is MY Point of View. I don't argue about it. I am just putting it forth.

Empty your pain tank by crying. This is cutting edge psychology. It is called Right Brain Trauma Theory. It is simple, as all true healing is. It takes no money or fancy equipment. It does take one thing, though. Someone who will allow you to cry,someone will not shame you or try to fix you. We do that to ourselves enough, and it never works If you can empty your pain tank, you can be normal. Normal is just seeing oneself as one is, accepting oneself as one is and seeing life as it is, within a normal range of variance, which we will all have. God did not mean for people to have so many emotional problems. The way to emotional healing is simple. If you can cry, you can break down the false constructs which are holding you together as a foundation holds a building. Read “Cure By Crying” by Thomas Stone.

I am trained as a traditional counselor. I do not have faith in traditional therapy. I do not believe that intellectual knowledge, alone, can change much of anything. Most therapy is intellectual. The therapist,often, has not healed his own emotions. Many people are walking robots, as a result of the culture which favors achievement, not heart. My experience with therapy, as well as my own education, has made me search for alternatives, which I have found.

Right brain trauma theory tells the story of how we shut down and how we can become alive again; feeling our emotions and our passions. What is life if you are shut down to your emotions and passions? It is grey. Many people live a grey life. There are ways out. I will write about these in future entries.

Very few people are helped by traditional therapy, in my opinion. Right brain trauma theory tells why Trauma is stored in the right side of the brain. This side of the brain is the emotional side. Therapy deals with the intellect and reasoning. This is the left side of the brain. That is why you see so many people, who have gone through traditional therapy, KNOW all the answers, but their life is falling down before them. Right brain trauma theory explains why.

The simplest and most elegant book, made so because of it’s simplicity is “Cure By Crying” by Thomas Stone. It is out of print, so is expensive. I bought it at 40 dollars, but it was worth every single penny. I noticed that people are trying to get the publisher to publish it , again. I will write more on how Right Brain Trauma Theory has helped me, personally, in other entries.

Thanks for ALL of this! I'll be back later to study it and give a thorough answer.

I agree with you about God. And lucky for us, I'm not the kind of person who argues about God, anyway- I've traveled enough roads in religion to be able to appreciate many points of view.

I wonder what my false constructs are. I guess my fears? I would live differently if it weren't for certain fears.

There's probably more to it but thank you for this "lens" to look at crying through.

AMEN.

To be honest, we might be a little bit in disagreement about religion or how we phrase things?

I believe God is love and life. I see it all as one. If you LOVE, then you have life and God. You are invincible. To the extent that you love, that's the extent that you have healing.

If you have LIFE (not being a "walking robot") then you have something of God and real love in you.

I don't know, what do you think...do you have any opinions on how to integrate CHI with God's energy? To me it's an extension of it.

I have explored many cultures' religions/philosophies and how they play out in medicine, so a conversation that touches on this is valuable to me.

Especially with my Chiron and Jupiter in the 9th. However, if we're going to talk, I don't want it all about me. And if you feel a conversation with me might too ecumenical for your interest, feel free to leave it alone. Truly.

Thank you for your writing, Ami!

I have been through a huge healing at LL, not that I am through by any means, but Randall and some dear friends allowed me all forms of free expression . I was able to grow and mature to some degree. If you want to follow my sorry story, check the archives

ROTFL! Such a hilarious face. I love how you take yourself so lightly.

Well thank God for growth. Can I ask what your nodal axis is? That's probably my favorite sub-topic in astrology. I'm Taurus SN 10thH, Scorpio NN 4th.

SO HAPPY you and I are of the same mind about having all kinds of friends, regardless of religion. I feel like I can accept everyone.

But I cannot accept every behavior in every place...you know, religious people visit the raging maniacs in institutions out of love but do not bring them back for prayer.

It doesn't say anything about love. Just, there is a time and a place for certain things.

As far as self accepting, I am getting there as I see that God loves me as I am.It is beautiful to think that you are "as is" like when you go to sale and a sweater is damaged because the zipper fell out or something. God says, "I will take it. It is just what I was looking for."

I love this book called The Secret Language of Destiny by Gary Goldschneider. He breaks the whole year down into 48 signs. so there are 48 nodal axises (or axii?)

If your north node is in the third decan of Sag, but not near the cusp, he calls your karmic path The Way of Amplification. Basically you are here to AMPLIFY EXISTENCE.

My brother-in-law...who's born June 23...is that near your sun, too?...he's got this and it's really phenomenal talking to him. There's no one like him.

And no, I am not in love with him. It's hard for me to express how much I like people without getting beaten on for going overboard as I have said.

If your NN is in the THIRD house and you are here to amplify what you naturally know from the 9th...that explains to me why I have a hunch that you are an actual mystic. Or developing along those lines.

It's even more significant, the closer the Sag degree is to the Sag-Cap Cusp.

I forget the name of that karmic path but it's all about being psychic and really glimpsing the realm beyond this one. Do you feel in touch with that?

I was once courted by a Scorpio whose NN was near the Sag-Cap Cusp. He was like an alien he was so brilliant. Like he spoke and my jaw dropped.

I knew that if I went out with him I would lose myself in him and he would break my heart. So we didn't go there. I think he just liked me because he could count on me to be an appreciative audience.

You're an interesting person, I don't actually get you in some ways, and then in other ways you make crystal clear sense, and it's very important in a way I cannot describe.

Thanks for talking with me.

I was on a traditional path as I was a traditional person on the outside although my mind was always out there. However, when he died, I did not care how I looked, if I was hated, if people thought I was a jerk or anything.I just needed to find the core of who I was.I did all that on LL. I was obnoxious at times, too. That is why I have such a deep understanding of fights on here and can feel what is happening so well. I know how it feels to be embarrassed. I know how it feels to find your core as I am doing that as a result of really showing who I was, the real down deep version sans make-up. The only thing that died was my ego but it hurt so badly. That was my point to Saggi which she was not able to hear. The only thing that will die will be your ego. It is killing you anyway lol

My SN is 24 Gem, I think so 2 degrees from the Sun. The GC is kind of interesting.I never thought about it but would love to hear more of your insights on it.
Thanks for your kind words and all of them!!!

I'm sad beyond words about your son dying young. Will you please tell me more about him? If you feel comfortable.

The way you described falling apart and needing to find your core no matter how it seemed to people...that makes sense. I've done something similar in the past, when I struck off on a "crazy" path, joined a cult and married a stranger, and everyone thought I was cuckoo.

Sometimes you just need to do what you need to do. I was in full possession of my mind, and I clung to that like a rock through a great storm. If people wanted to make all kinds of assumptions about me, I saw it as their problem...I didn't have time to correct everyone or explain myself a billion times.

I feel weirdly woven in to LL. Like something about my destiny hinges on my being there, but I don't know what it is. I do know that I find it great relief to be around people who understand astrology and can teach me things. I'm mesmerized by certain posters and their honesty.

Anyway, I had thought you must be born in 1974 (?) but are you 1955? If so you are born right near my brother-in-law. Who is a magical person.

HEART BRIGADE LOL!

I'm not on facebook but thank you. Is there a picture of you or your son on that thread? I only saw Randall.

Oh and I will definitely look up your "karmic path" more. There's a ton of information in this book I'm talking about: http://www.amazon.com/Secret-Language-Destiny-Joost-Elffers/ dp/0670885975/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1332765446&sr=8-3

Not doing a sales pitch, just showing you the pretty cover.
