Be Assertive &; Not Fearful When You Meet A Doctor! 

Medical conditions are a source of anxiety and uncertainty. Do be assertive with the treatment options that the doctor prescribes. Analyse how much is really needed and how much is being sold. Do not buy Fear! Here is how I learnt to decipher between what is necessary and what can be safely avoided.

Visiting a Doctor for my personal self has been the most daunting task. As a child, I did go occassionally to the local physician but all in all I was considered a robust child and not much in need for medication.One miscarriage and two deliveries later, it truly seemed an avoidable affair. Vaginal check-ups were the worst nightmarish moments (maybe for the doctor involved too as I raised a storm). I opened up to alternative worlds of Reiki, crystal healing and essential oils. I learned to invoke the power of Inner healing to deal with issues that arose and well

I was too busy to focus on myself! While I nursed my two kids from sneezes, sprains and stomach pains I did learn a lot about what role fear, food and positive thinking played in getting rocking fit.

What I have learned is to listen to what the body says, look closely at the symptoms to check what they say. It helps to overcome the initial anxiety that surrounds the uncertainty of not knowing what your body is going through,raise the alarm bells onlly when necessary and take ASSERTIVE DECISIONS WHEN NECESSARY. 

Take Back Your Power.

We have a tendency to never Question our Doctors. We believe everything they say and feel they have our best interests at Heart. After all we grew up on "Doctor's Word" By R.K. Narayan. But Let us not forget that it is our bodies we give to be examined and cured to them.Only we can tell what is working and what is not! If we keep silent and endure a Discomfort,it is a grave Dissservice to our bodies and our existence.

Take charge & Take Decisions.

What I share now is a simple illustration from my life. A decision that brought peace of mind to me and my family and saved my little one a lot of anxious moments in his entire childhood. Back in 2003 we came to know that my elder son had "idiopathic thrombocytopenia". Simply put it means his platelet count stays lower than required and it may lead to complications. Allopathy has no cure. The Doctor prescribed blood tests every month to monitor his platelet level. Each time he would be pricked his entire tiny arm would bulge black and blue.Reiki entered our lives giving us confidence to cope with this. Once sitting outside the cabin for his routine prick and test I read a statement "Least Intervention Is The Best Intervention". As I entered the Haematologist's cabin I asked after initial details were taken. 

ME: Doctor, do we have to do this blood test every month?

Doctor: (frowns) How else shall we monitor his platelet count?

ME: So if we come to know that his platelet count is low what medicine shall you prescribe?

Doctor: We cannot treat him till we have an instance of active bleeding!

ME: He is not bleeding just now and we come to know his count is low due to all the black spots on his body, now what?

Doctor: We wait...

We came out and took the priceless decision to not get him pricked. We plain walked away. He is 15 now and rocking. His platelet count, maybe, low {black spots-I hate them). 

We have been careful and introduced him to healthy living and positive outlook towards a certain condition.

Had he been making those endless rounds of the laboratories to check blood and urine he would have called it "illness" The psychological impact would definitely have been far more disastrous. 

But we never dared ask the Doctor ,"May we discontinue?" for we feared we may appear defiant!

Recently,I had a urine infection which told my inner self needed a dose of antibiotic. I follow my inner guidance and before the infection turned severe I decided to walk into a doctor's cabin. I was in for a jolly ride and few amusing revelations and this blog.

So here we go to this doctor's clinic where I delivered my second Baby in 2006. The assistant asks me for papers.I have none. Ten years!!! I realised it has been that long that I went to a doctor for consultation for my persoonal reason. Wow!!! So, I request her to make the papers anew as I needed help. The assistant took a long time to get in touch with the incharge who was away on a weekend. I had been unfortunate to be so healthy and had fallen sick on a Saturday! How atrocious!!! Never mind after an endless wait we thought we must check on another doctor, since this one is not available and the assistant will not make my papers without consulting the absent incharge.The question that I could never ask her.

"Are procedures important or people?" " Could you not make the papers?" Thank God I was not in an emergency.

No wonder Munnabhai MBBS made that classic scene!

We came to another one, who had been a very senior gynaecologist in our area. One hour's wait and I am taken in. The assistant says,"500 rupees." I give it. I describe my symptoms; burning sensations while passing urine, but clear. No pain whatsover anywhere. To my horror, she insists on a vaginal check up! Mentally "What? Why?"

But outwardly, I comply. My resistance must have been supremely visible to an experienced one like her. She asks for a urine test and show it to her the coming Monday.The medicine were not antibiotics, is what I make out. I promptly get that test done and find out within a few hours that it indeed was a regular UTI. I am sure she would have known. But well, diagnosis is always safer. She told me to come post Sunday. That itself tells me I am not in any major dire circumstance.

What I did not ask her? "Why the vaginal check up? Was it absolutely necessary?" (anyways she found nothing!)

So, I go the next Monday since I had to show her the report and get an antibiotic as the bacteria needed the support of a better medication to flush out. I sat for two hours before my number came. By then, I had googled what my urine test indicated, what I am likely to be prescribed and what I need to do next as precaution.

What happened next took the cake for me!!!

She looked at the urine test. Her assistant asks "200 rupees!"

I had just entered the cabin. At least let my consultation get through! Nevertheless, I comply. 

Doc: Come on up I have to do your check up!

ME: (taken aback) Why? I just have a Urine infection. There is nothing else in the report except bacteria and pus cells.

Doc: We have to check you for 'cancer'. You are above 40 and you must take precautioons.

ME: I do not wish to do a check up and I will consider the screening as you suggest if I feel the need.

Doc: After 5 YEARS if you get cancer do not come to tell me anything.

ME: (Adamant and silent but sure will not turn in to any internal check ups) I want to go to the wash room but there is no wash room here. 

Doc: Oh you can go home and come back! The assistant silently prescribes the discounted rate of the screening at another place. 

Doc: You are 40+ now and you must do this as we may come to know if you are prone to cancerious tendencies!

I thank them and walk away with the antibiotic prescription and a resolve to not visit her again.

The question I never could ask...

Dear Doctor, your prime job is to alleviate anxiety, fear and pain. Did you do that? You were busy selling me a screening which I may or may not need. It is my Body that I hand you over to heal and cure. Should you instill fear and anxiety in me? You knew through your experience that I had a simple UTI Which would clear easily. Then why did you not give me straight away? Should you inform me about my treatment options or should you insist because it is to your benefit to have more ladies screening this at the women's centre where you are apparently conducting these discounted tests? How many vulnerable women come to you afraid and uncertain to whom you send these implants...Fearful implants of an illness???

My test clearly as of today are normal and I am recovering steadily but the fear vibrations stayed at what could befall me in five years from now?I will nurture and heal my body and seek kinder guidance should I need one in the future but the fact remains...

A Doctor's job is to alleviate anxiety, fear and pain not implant it into healthier minds a thought and a reprimand...

"What if you get cancer five years from Now? Do not come and tell me then!"

I promise you I will not tell you anything!

1. Listen to your body. 2. Take all necessary precautions. 3. Do not buy fearful suggestions regarding medical conditions. 4. A healthy mind will cope with everything.

Freedom

We often feel chained. These chains are often not visible to us or others. They are binding just the same. Our spirits feel strangled. Our Card today has brought in a relevant message.

Look for your freedom in every situation. What are the situations which weigh us down?

What makes us feel like we are held on?
Let us take a look at what kills the inner peace and few nuggets of wisdom. It's not in the bigger situations which hurt but smaller ones that eat up with the byproducts of Guilt and Remorse.

*You have money and you want to buy that, one thing but another family member wishes you spend it otherwise!

*You have a weekend planned in a silent and peaceful way and closer relatives announce you join them or they come over?!

*You wear an outfit you are comfortable in and a relative/friend/colleague bites in a sarcastic jibe that hangs.

*People visit you and have nasty remarks on how you should keep your house or shop from a certain place!

*People who try and impress your spouse or partner in front of you by working on seeming flaws!

Evaluate

See mentally how you feel about each situation and look at it realistically, philosophically and with maturity.
Establishing your Sanity is the most important aspect.

A simple line goes a long way. "Your happiness and sense of Command goes a long way in feeling free."

Look at your spending patterns honestly and decide where the funds are needed most. Spend with a free heart not a heavy heart.

If you have a weekend plan which is your Recoup plan. Stick to it. Being Noble in sacrificing your time to grace others and being tired is unwise. Period!

If an outfit kinda hugs your heart but not the eye of another, well they simply must learn to look the other way. It is called being 'comfortable' with Self. No one has the right to impose their sense of dressing unless you explicitly ask for it.

Similarly, your abode is yours! You,  I am sure, clean it from time to time and sometimes, well due to ill health or busy schedule, it is neglected. You will attend to it when you have enough energy. That is your lookout altogether. Giving that right to comment also is a prerogative you may forward.

Until then, folks should learn to keep their opinions to themselves. With your cool attitude you must communicate the jibes go bonkers. It jibes for you catch it. Let it go without touching an inch of you. Those jibes will lose power.

An arena where you put your assertive foot loud and heavy is when your private relationship is at the dice. Do not allow it. Be vocal and clear what is appreciated and absolutely not permissible. Words like 'Unmodern' or 'Orthodox' should be simply not purchased. Say No and mean it. Draw a line and allow no crossover.

Moral of the long story is your life, time, house and body are yours alone. Opinions of others must be considered even pondered over but ultimately look for a smile within. Light up your life with free spirit that makes you fly and not weigh you down, chained and tied.

Of course I hear the "Chorus of Consequences???" You may point out the horrendous results you face...Like what???

Maybe they will...

*Sulk... Ask why should their sulking make "you"  uncomfortable? Give them some space to overcome the shock they have received at your new Avataar! Let them be. They will come around!

*More Jibes...
Now if you stop reacting, what utility does this form of "put down"  have?

If it suits you to respond "Do" but in the long run a clear "I do not appreciate this" is far effective than "Jibing back"

*Deleted from invites

Social ostracism is your worst fear or Ganging up probably. You do not wish to be alone. You need to be accepted. You are a social animal after all! NOW, a Rethink is needed! Being with others who constantly get you down or Being in a space where you can uplift yourself is a better choice? If you choose company that jibes that is a choice and you do  not have to read this but if second choice is appealing then;

Call your shots, balance with assertive cooperation and be a resource when you are around!  No one likes a resentful, silent grouchy bear for company. That is what you will be if you respond with submissiveness to imposed behaviour.

You

There are many moments in life when you ought to stop and go within to tap into this potent force called "You"

There will not be another you and probably you have not fully explored the full "You".

The possibility of putting yourself out there in as many formats as possible is a beautiful arena that you must consider.

Ask yourself

Who am I? Am I just this one persona who I currently am? What latent talents I have not explored?

Discover yourself.

Check the hidden ambitions you harboured once and see if you can reclaim part of it. Today avenues to express are multiple and there are hundreds of ways you can be out there. Do dust your inner reservoirs and find the concealed treasures therein.

Play.

Hesitation is a waste of you. If you want to express yourself just do so. Even half baked attempt will find appreciation. Today attempting is more important than perfecting. You will get there if you keep at it.

Manifest.

Trust the "You" and where it is taking you. Your inward eye has a vision then make it stronger and soon it will reflect in your real life. It is called Manifestation power. A possibility nurtured with strong imagery and consistent faith will culminate into a happier version of you. Ask

You want something you ask your higher crew to give it. A financial oppprtunity, a professional outcome, a love match, peaceful vacation, Just Ask... And nurture the inward vision till it solidifies into an outer life. 

Believe

Yes believe it is possible for you. Convince yourself you are a resource. You are here to live a happier version of you and take to next realm an even brighter update of yourself. Beam a brilliant future for yourself and carve it with efforts and imagery both. The only resource is "You" your thoughts your actions and your ability to "Ask and Manifest"

But remember to Ask and Achieve!

Relationship Musings- Aim for Peace!

Watch: 

         

Can we live without a relationship? No ,we cannot. It is an emotional necessity as much as food clothing and shelter and internet!

Yet it is the most turbulent part of our daily life. Who complicates it?

We, The Great!

Really? Yes really!!! We, who take great pains to like maintain and repair our electronic gadgets, like cell phones and laptops ,sadly whimper at the first challenge and throw the baby out of the bath water or sometimes the entire Bath tub outta that bathroom…too soon too fast.

Why would we do that? Coz we are fools and love to Dramatize when it comes to maintaining and repairing Human relationships.Understanding people seems to be our laziest zone!  We handle our gadgets far better than humans in our life.

We have borrowed too much of modern day habble dabble dash nonsense about how relationships ought to be.

Truth is…No daily newspaper column, monthly lifestyle tip giving glossy, book or blog ( such as this) can determine how a relationship shall unfold.

A Relationship is an untold contract and the two people  with their humble and mutual consent enter into it. They decide the rules, amend them from time to time, abuse each other a little ( Stay with me guys –patience is the key word here ) love each other, hate each other periodically, create memories and stay together or part with baggage …carrying it forward into the future relationships…by far the most dangerous killer of any twosome or  is this “ Baggage” . We will get to it…little later…

A little common sense and we can build happier relationships…

Lets take a Tour together

Hmm so you have found the one from your dreams –the one you have a crush on and are unable to say it…you do attention seeking…dressing up..talking loud…swirling in frontways, sideways and allways…with no luck…

Work is needed heavily on yourself. GOD endowed you with pretty hands to write your texts and mails or good old letter…a mouth to speak and a brain to think. Why have you used none of those??? If not now then when???

Life is too short to regret. Either say it or get on with your life. I am sure you have things to do in life other than preen pretty in front of your love interest.

Instead of wasting time, be direct and save time. You can save it for Romantic Mushy Days and Preen around when it will be worth it. Thumb Rule says: Two  are needed to create a Relationship!

The next stage also is equally hazy dazy. You have talked, got on each other’s Whatsapp list. You check their “last seen” so frequently (if they have kept that visible ) but you wait for their text.

Now there are two things that can happen.

 The person is too busy or not interested in this chat game of yours. After repeated text if the person  gets back to you with compulsory and mandatory boring smileys, it's  time to take an inventory…of yourself and suggest to yourself this

•        This person is not finding you interesting enough and has other interesting gang to hook onto.
•        This person has no clue that you in some corner of this Universe is waiting for his or her humble text…educate them for your sake !

In any case accept the ground reality by checking verbally with them instead of playing word puzzles and guessing what  thousand meanings hide in that reply,  that may mean nothing to them. 

Getting down to the analogy of a cell phone or laptop. You try and read the manual and get to know them. You have patience and acceptance that with trial and error you will succeed…you will “get to know your gadget better”

But this is human relationship??? You just mumbled…right then…it means

It takes two to tango! Enlist the  one who is giving consent and is willing…else its only you …then it is not a relationship at allllll

.

This grounded approach shall help you cut faster into the long drawn dramatic route that involves friends and other humans who love to add their own toppings on the pizza! Play two and do not get in a zoo to get your “ Two some”

Let say you are now lucky enough to bind the twosome consent and mutual et al contract…Great!!!

Lucky bummers! Now comes in the patterns of being masculine and feminine and switching roles. Accept that we are not perfect but we have baggage of our past partners…Sadly we push the current ones into the mould where we tragically narrate the “ poor me” syndrome and it is up to the poor partner to measure up and prove “ They are different “ than the Baggage story…

Trouble in the paradise begins here…

Take the scanner onto you dear one..its you who were scorched in the  past…something went wrong with you…why is  the onus on this next person to prove to you that you will not hurt?

It is a super fallacious thinking to think that no new hurt will be incurred. Each time, you buy a new gadget, you begin with factory settings... from scratch…you may download all your existing apps anew! What was done by you is your own thing…why dump it on this next person? It is so daunting to have the next one prove to be a nicer one than the previous one that you do not allow this one to create their memories with you

“ My Boyfriend used to always flirt with my best friends Now you must not talk to any of my friends!

 LOGIC???

“My girlfriend was a Dominating one Now you must let me walk all over you!! MANIPULATION!!!

“I am looking for the one who will never hurt me!

 UNREALISTIC…IMPOSSIBLE MISSION.

Accept yet again when two people tango…there is bound to be some …No! A lot of conflict.

Why???

Coz you are two different set of individuals…brought up in different ways… ate differently, dressed differently, thought differently, handled challenges differently, challenge is to find a balance…

You found that peace and are probably moving towards that aisle or have worked at the road but…..

There are and will be issues…

In-law issues…you may never be liked…

Finances…one may spend more …one may save more…

Chores…one may love to clean ..one may love to lounge forever…

Children…to raise this way or that? To have them or not!!! when to have them? Now or little later???

If there is love and patience things have to be brought on the negotiation table…and effort should be made to find a midway…

"Do not sacrifice…make a choice and be comfortable with it.

Or do not make it at all."

Be sorted and grounded…and please  buy this Modern day Jargon of Self love a tad bit cautiously. Be nice to yourself and be nice to others!

We are talking relationship and it needs two to …well…

Before you begin to think what if there is a serious chasm of infidelity growing under.

Choice is the key word here…Drama is the villain here…

Choose and work on it!

You walk out and rebuild your life.

You stay in and rebuild your life.

Think carefully !

Snides, Sarcasm, involving cruel battles with other members involved take away your peace of mind, stunt your growth and retard your capacity to live your life fully.

So your partner changed, chose again, broke your marriage vows…

It will take heavy work to accept and rebuild. With the same one or without…

The key word is peace for yourself…Maturity is living life with loads of common sense and fun.

Bitterness is an empty companion which makes the Air around us very stale and laces our interactions with unpleasant accents.

Life is  so much to be enjoyed rather than waiting to be discovered or appreciated .

Unless huge amounts of physical threats are involved ,every relationship can be sorted out …

If you  feel angry, yell! Scratch a bit, sulk, then talk…

If you feel hurt, cry, howl! Curl up in a corner, then talk...

If you feel jilted, mourn! Understand, choose, then talk...

If you feel shortchanged, think! Assess, clarify, then talk...

If you want change, specify, clear guidelines with a talk...

If you feel stagnant, make a plan, lay down rules and talk...

Do not just blame or worry…point fingers and hurl abuses without going anywhere specific. We are human beings geared to live a happy life.Let us not ruin it with our flair for drama and think of ourselves as the eternal ,sad, sanskaari one shown wrongly on the Tele shows.

We are humans…we change…every person is different than others…lay down rules that make us happy…negotiate to get a win win situation…and build a rocking twosome relationship!

Abundance is a coveted situation by all. It does not mean only money or material additions.  It also means manifesting opportunities which have been harboured deep inside. Pray deeply and hold on tight. Do not wait to be "Discovered". While you wait for your dreams to present themselves in front of you, keep on sharpening your skills and practising your craft. 

At a juncture like this, cards were invoked and they could never have been as accurate. Their predictive magic astounds and reassures. 

They came up with a message that the querent is at the threshold of getting a piece of news that will bring in BUSIER times.  A THICK VEIN of possibilities and abundance is likely to open up. The Third Card however speaks of loss and stagnant projects.  

On an intuitive note, the card was respectfully kept back and another card was picked. The card that came forth was of "Positive Recognition" 

For the uninitiated it may mean a rejection of angel messages.  To us it signifies a deliberate declaration of "Free Will" to invoke happier endings to our life's scripts. 

Sure enough and to deepest surprise of the querent, a phone call  offering a manifestation of a long cherished dream came through.  The work done so far had generated trust enough to merit a bigger assignment from the Universe and Mortal  World. 

Cards are super accurate, clear in their messages.  They offer potential events and depending on the free will choices exercised, the life scripts progress. 

This particular card reading was by far the most rewarding and interactive and blessed for the reader and the querent. Hope it blesses and inspires those who read  the blog. 

For queries drop in a DM(direct message) on any of the Social Media Handles of Facebook, Twitter, Instagram!

GIVE  angels a specific query and they would love  to interact. Share the  video and blogs and goodwill for those who may wish to connect.

Does It Matter?

A question that needs to be asked…by each Parent!

Mrs Dubey,

You are requested to come and see me immediately regarding your daughter’s progress.

Regards.

Read the note of her eight year old Grishma’s tuition teacher. Her heart started beating fast at the thought of a meeting with her ward’s teacher. God knows what she will get to know about her child. She looked at her tiny girl playing in the balcony terrace with her dolls. She was making a doll house for them. She called her out. “Grishu, darling tell me how are your studies going on?” Grishma made a sombre face and nodded and went back to her doll house.

She sighed and looked around her house. There were some utensils lying in the sink. She needed to sort out her wardrobe, she had to send her girl’s uniform for ironing...she had dinner to cook! Her endless chores stared at her and her husband had yet to return from his out station trip. She got little help in her house chores except the top servant who was regularly irregular.

Irritated at her own state of affairs, she picked up her cell phone to distract herself for a while. There was regular round of selfie updates and usual posts on various happenings. She came upon her regular card reader’s updates and stopped. She meant to send her a message to do a live reading for her on various occasions and had somehow prevaricated…today she just felt a tad bit too low and on an impulse she decided she would send that message she meant to.

She came on that page and wrote a short heart felt write up on all that was pulling her down. She knew they  were not colossal problems yet they were pressing her down just the same. She could talk to her friends and she had but they would come up with answers that were not so satisfactory.

"Oh! Keep a cook." ( Her husband was okay with that but her daughter felt food should be cooked by mumma only!)

"Children are lazy" (She knew her little one was a diligent worker . She was anything but lazy)

"Keep a full time servant for day work and she will take care of your child too!"( Expensive option and untrustworthy)

So, she wrote to her hoping that she will have to wait for a long time and maybe will get the  positive dope of  usual spiritual stuff.

To her surprise her cell vibrated and there was a short message that there will be a blog and a live update on her query. There was assurance no names will be taken! Her mood lifted and she felt good at having a response this fast. It made her feel so…wanted. 

Nothing more was asked of her ,only that an update but no names will be taken and she had seen her previous updates she knew the advice will be to the point and yet anonymous!

Rest of the day was spent on daily chores and the regular getting through. She decided to meet the teacher the following day. She kept checking the cell phone as she knew that the blog could be up any time and she wanted to be the first one to read and see it.

Next day went in a rush of morning tiffins and stuff. She felt so out of control of everything. The tiffin she made had brought a wrinkle from her child. She had spilled milk on the kitchen table and  it needed heavy cleaning. By the time she finished all of that and frustrated and flustered she picked up her cell phone. To her delight, she saw the blog and live update. The voice was firm but clear and…humphhhhh…what an advice she had dished out!

Take it easy…everything need not be in your control all the time…Next time ask

“How much does this matter? Can this be really as monumental as it seems? In the long run of life how essential is this? Can I have an alternative to this?”

She was promising that things will change once you begin asking these gentle questions to yourself whenever you are stressed.

She felt happy that someone had taken the time to dwell on her situation and do a live update and even blog on it. She read it dutifully, sent in her thank you message and decided to let it pass. She will keep this knowledge to herself. No one needs to know her little experiment with Card reading. 

She looked at the Card that showed a Dolphin jumping smoothly into the waters…for her to be able to glide like that it must require some amount of trust on the natural forces to take their own course. 

As humans however we were not Dolphins and we could not dive in and out of water and live life. Well, we had to…do things…like go and have that uncomfortable meet with the tuition teacher and hear what she has to say.

She collected her Grishma and decided to go meet the teacher when she was on her way home. She  can leave her to the class thereafter and get on with life. She cannot take it easy as suggested , but the words kept going around  her mind.

She was ushered in the cabin of the class teacher where the petite woman came in with an air of importance, I have so many important things to do!

"Good afternoon Mrs. Dubey I am glad you came."

"Yes ma’am tell me how is Grishma doing?"

"Oh she is OK…but in Maths she keeps making silly mistakes which I think are so expensive!” She continued putting papers in front of her of all the class tests she had taken.

“History- she lost one mark in Fill in the blanks and Geography, she could have done better in Diagrams….but what worries me…" she chewed on her lip.

Mrs. Dubey waited with a sense of foreboding at the verdict about to come in.

“She just cannot memorize the last paragraph of the English poem. I am so sure she will get 48/50 as this poem is going to come for two marks…”

Just then her cell rang and she excused herself …leaving Mrs.Dubey with her Child’s predicament.

And the words “Take it easy…ask how important this is in the long run?”

And she stopped…for that moment to do just that…typically she would have apologised and called out Grishma and asked her to do better, work harder…would have promised to the teacher to look into the matter seriously…would have fired herself for not paying attention!

But today in that moment she decided to ask…How important it is if the child did not really mug up the two paragraphs? What if she got one mark less in Math…She looked closely at the papers and almost admired the neat work and lovely handwriting.

Maybe the teacher from her standpoint had to ensure full marks and pull up students to do better. She was a mother…Does she need to buy that philosophy?

Her teacher was back from probably another round of feedback to some other parent over the phone. She looked at Mrs. Dubey anticipating defensive outrage or assurance.

Mrs Dubey decided to give None! She simply asked “Can I take Grishma with me early, we have to go out.” The teacher looked a little taken aback. But she nodded and called for Grishma. The girl looked sheepish, tired and a little scared.

God!!! What impact this meeting was having on this little soul? She was shrinking expecting a scolding or lecture from both the ladies. She wanted to hug her girl and tell her the infamous Philosophy the Cards had given her “Take It Easy My Child” As an adult she had lost this ability to step back and assess her situation in a different light. She had become a robot in just giving automatic and expected reactions to various situations , without really giving it a thought to how it is shaping us …how it is making us go in a one way zone to stress!

She had to admit to herself that she would automatically pass this same responses to her girl as she grows up. Were the two marks so important that her daughter should cringe and think that she is unimportant?

She decided she will change her outlook and first she had to relax her angel. She came home and instead of asking her to go get her homework sheets she suggested that they sit at the terrace on the swing with a milkshake. Grishma looked surprised and relaxed a bit. All the way she was expecting reprimands.

"Grishu your teacher said you are not able to learn a poem para..."

"Yes mom I am  trying…came the earnest rejoinder…"

“How would you feel if you get 48/50 instead of 50/50 ?”

Grishma shrunk but something in her mom’s relaxed posture or wide Grin made her bewildered…she kept silent…

“ What will happpeeennn…Volcano will erupt?...oh Grishuuuu…its ok darling…chill sweetheart…I know you think I will shout but…let us just say…it is ok…if you like…lose few marks…but I do not want you to lose this charming smile and furrow your brow…we will work but we will take it easy…hmmm???”

We will take it easy mom…yes…I love you…

Grishma launched herself into her mom’s lap and kissed her on the cheeks...milkshake of rose reeking…and shaking the Swing…

That evening they talked about so many things and studied a bit …Grishma seemed so happy at the change…she slept with a smile and a promise she will try harder…too which she said…

“No sweetiepie…Take it easy…”

Before sleeping ,she send another smiley round of thank you to this unknown person who had added quality and a formula to no stress…

No long winding philosophies …a simple perspective!

Cards had helped her look at life a bit differently and that was a positive dope…

Tomorrow will be another day with the challenges more or less the same…but she will say  “Take it easy…how monumental is it? Is there a different way?”

There always is!!!

YourQuery-CardsReply.

Young life is an exciting, dreamy phase! You want love and independence both. As each pal walks down the aisle or walk round the sacred fire with the forever vows, you yearn to know when you shall walk down that path and taste the bliss.

We have Gentle friends among our Cards and today they explore a query from one such young one, as to “When shall marriage happen? When shall the soul mate string their soul’s music? If at all look at what is blocking the whole process?”

Naturally, the Go to deck was “Romance Angels Cards”!

They had the coolest of conversations with a thumbs up sign!  

Here is what they have to say…to this query and to all the soul mate seekers in general.

First reassuring message is to be optimistic about love life. Too many young hearts get so easily  disheartened too soon.

First and foremost, infuse your heart and being with Faith and positive expectations. Being in the state of readiness to receive your life’s gifts facilitate their manifestation into our lives. So first believe with deep trust that you are attracting at this very moment your life mate and circumstances are so synchronizing each moment to get the two of you together. Each day hold a thought for your love life flourishing and materializing in all its tenderness.

What might be the Blocking element?

Two cards “Flirt” and “ Trust” came in . Often young folks do start out at the lighthearted stage of Flirting with a potential partner and stay there preventing the relationships from progressing into further stages due to issues related to trust. There may be a past experience that may hold you back from trusting completely and allowing the warm feelings to reach the heart. This too puts a strain on the mate to consistently keep proving the love and care they have for them. It can get strenuous to keep furnishing emotional evidence instead of exploring the various layers of delicious Amour. Kindly look at those hidden tiny darts of suspicion and  distrust  that are creeping in and do not allow you to surrender fully.

Each person has in their blue print of life a mate who will nourish them and fulfill them with lots of love and such a relationship is worth waiting for. Work on issues that might be getting in your way of materializing a lovely soul mate. If you do, dear one, cards suggest that the turn of this year is the best time when you would have weeded out the unwanted obstacles, worked sufficiently and created that readiness which will herald a beautiful process of permanent sealing of a long standing relationship.

Cards wish you all the love and luck and a wonderful soul mate soon. Stay ready and accept all that is offered.

There comes a time in the life of a spiritual healer when they are called upon with their tools to guide in a situation that requires patience and calls to quell tons of anxiety.

A gentlemen is in the medical care and has undergone a brain surgery. Naturally every moment is filled with tremors and turbulence. The heart tends to picture all that is not appealing and tends to focus on the worst outcomes possible. It is at such times they turn to God for his divine Intervention and also to healing modalities if they believe in them. That is when the role of spiritual healer to balance the rife tension and gently place Hope in the hearts of all who believe.

I am blessed with various Healing Tools that have conferred their magnanimous presence in my Life. The moment I am connected to the ones who believe and seek I invoke first the ARCHANGEL ENERGIES no matter where I am. In this instance I was in the car moving towards my parents’ residence. I invoked archangels to be by their side. As soon I could, I sent Reiki symbols to the concerned person at the Soul Level.

If I have the Cards I connect and ask what they tell me about the situation. In this case when Cards were consulted I saw strong presence of Archangel Azrael. He is the Archangel Of Death. He helps soul cross over in the transition process. The other card too was counselor card which again points to strong presence of Archangel Azrael. 

The counselor qualities point out to dual areas. A message for healer to instill hope in this bleak environment. Archangel Chamuel too showed up. He is the Archangel who helps people “Find” These cards together tell that Archangel Azrael is patiently waiting for the soul to decide to exit or stay. Each soul different exit plans which they accept or reject. 

Should they accept the exit moment, Archangel Azrael will intervene and help the transition moment. Should they decide to stay then Archangel Chamuel will help the soul find fresh new hope instilled purposes to live on.

The moment these two cards unravelled that the process of decision is yet going on…the next thing that the healer needs to focus all the energies on healing. Do not, at this moment, even for a fraction of a second be shaken by any technical details that make the scene sound dreary.

Pray. Reiki helps me to send distance healing to wherever the person is without even knowing their name or location or birthday or any such personal details. The connect by their near and dear ones is enough. Know this- we all are connected and intertwined in this Universe. We are all connected. Every time we pray we send a beam of white light towards the person. The Higher force is intelligent. It does not need address or envelops to reach its destination. It just showers grace.

Pull up gently anyone who distorts the medical facts that predict doom and gloom. Till you have the news the person is on plane Earth it is time to continue your healing work. No one is an authority on healing. Honest intentions and genuine trust in the Universal healing force is all you hold dear.

We are Humans and so we cannot survive in Passivity so we need Action steps and reassurance from your Healer forces. So we turned to Archangel Raphael who is a Master at healing by enwrapping in healing Emerald Green Light. The Cards that came are super reassuring. 

The Cards come with a Baby’s picture and an affirming “Yes” . Babies herald new lease of life which is reassuring to the core. It tells me the Soul has decided to Stay and not take his exit plan. Another powerful reminder is “Prayer Works” it always does!!! There is no substitute to it. All we need to do is pray to God or whoever we believe in and affirm “Let healing pour in this situation and help and guide all involved.” 

The Last Card, that makes my heart sing, is “Recovery”! It means good news…it may have appeared as a card that tells us how the person is progressing or at the least best for us to focus on the word and affirm it again and again and again till …well till all involved are healed, relaxed and happier.

Let us all pray for this Gentlemen and his Family and ask all the loving Angels to descend and shine their light in this situation and may this be a guide to me for yet again miraculous account of how we all are connected and how we can heal ourselves and be Messengers of hope and love to anyone who needs it at a delicate turn of life.
