My North Node

On this day of my healing journey I am looking forward.

Even though this is the worst I have felt physically during this illness. Oh well, it has to get worse before it feels better!

Sharon and I found an excellent resource in a book called “Astrology for the Soul” by Jan Spillman. She focuses on your North Node as this is where you are meant to go in this life you have chosen.

My North Node is in Scorpio and here is what I am about.

Attributes to Develop:

  • Self-Discipline
  • Choosing constructive change
  • Releasing whatever causes stagnation and low energy
  • Eliminating non-useful possessions
  • Enjoying things without having to own them
  • Accepting support from others (ideas, money, opportunities)
  • Enjoying high-risk situations that makes one feel alive
  • Awareness of others’ psychology (their dreams, wants, needs, and motives
  • Openness to partnering, supporting, and merging power with others

Tendencies to Leave Behind:

  • Attachment to comfort and the status quo
  • Possessiveness
  • Overconcern with accumulation and ownership
  • Questioning past decisions
  • Stubbornness
  • Getting bogged down in sensual appetites
  • Repeatedly doing things the one way (the hard way) even though another way is easier
    Resistance to change and others’ input

I found this to be a great resource and highly recommend it.

I Cannot Lose

On this day of my healing journey I realize I cannot lose.

Perspective, a healthy one, is the most valuable tool one can have no matter what situation they find themselves in. Just as Viktor Frankl wrote in Man’s Search for Meaning, as he relayed his account of being in a Nazi concentration camp, perspective made the difference for many survivors.

Although I am doing many things to heal myself and noticing some improvement in my condition, my body feels like it is in a concentration camp as I have no control over it yet. I do believe this will change but even if it does not I have an attitude that makes me at peace with it.

The way I look at my situation I see nothing but positives from it. When I beat this illness I will have a great story to tell that will help a countless number of people. If I end up dying from ALS, that the doctors think I have, then I will be going home to spirit where I really feel I belong.

Time will tell which outcome comes to pass but the important thing to take from this is to have a perspective that serves your greater purpose.

Just be happy!

Emotional Factors

On this day of my healing journey I have become aware of my Emotional Component.

I know illness, as well as healing, happens on all levels of our being. The physical, emotional, mental and spiritual aspects of ourselves need to be explored for any issues contributing to the illness.

Even though I have Lyme Disease, and not ALS, my symptoms mimic ALS. Lyme is called the “great imitator” because it can present any kind of symptoms, which makes it hard to diagnose. Because my symptoms are like ALS I can learn what emotional issues are related to that disease to help myself heal from Lyme.

I got the following from Sylvia Sutton Ross http://www.naturalforcesforhealth.com/MILASTUDY.html

MFB~ EMOTIONAL ISSUES CONNECTED TO “LOU GHERIG’S DISEASE”

1. Severe annihilation-anxiety around the issue of seeking, manifesting and especially
acknowledging success.

2. They have utter conviction that they are the “turd of the Universe”, and that they have any worth whatsoever.

3. They deny their success, and are totally unwilling to accept their self-worth.

4. They are in effect completely immobilized by betrayal avoidance, in that the family, the mother in particular, conveyed to them clearly that any form of self-manifestation success in the world and commitment elsewhere would destroy them.

5. It got started at a time when there was in their experience no difference between their mother and the Universe, so that in effect, they would be committing “Deicide” if they seek success or if they recognize their worth ~ they would be destroying God and all It’s creation.

6. To avoid that “ultimate calamity”, they are sacrificing themselves on the “alter” of “filial piety”.

Now that is some pretty heavy crap to deal with. Thanks Mom!

Louise Hay suggests the following affirmation for Lou Gherig’s Disease (ALS).

I know I am worthy. It is safe for me to be successful. Life loves me.

I will be using this.

Unwavering Belief

On this day of my healing journey I am filled with unwavering belief.

I have this even though I spent 6 hours in the emergency department yesterday afternoon. I went there because I had been feeling quite rough and wondered if I had meningitis going on. That is what Lyme can cause in advanced stages.

While I was there I saw an Internist, who is the second Canadian Health professional who thinks my Positive Western Blot test was a false positive. He also thinks I have ALS and I am just amazed at how ignorant these doctors can be.

There is no doubt that I am going through a major health issue but the important thing is I KNOW that I am going to overcome this illness. That is my intention I am setting for 2013. There is no going back for any of us and it is up to all of us to put our energy towards what we want to create in our future.

What will your focus be in 2013?

Make it magical.

My Planetary Ruler

On this day of my healing journey I’m determined:

I hope you have had a good Christmas of 2012 and are setting your sites on what you want to accomplish in 2013.

I wanted to share with you today a section of a reading I received from a friend of mine named Linda Dietz. It is called the Book of Destiny and uses a simple deck of playing cards to guide you.

This section I share with you relates to my Saturn Period which lasts from 11/21/2012 till 1/13/2013. I am just amazed at how much it relates to my current health situation.

Our Saturn Cards often describe who or what are our major challenges or difficulties for the year. However, by facing these challenges, we can learn many things that will aid in our ultimate success. Saturn teaches us patience and responsibility.

The cards below are from your Planetary Ruling Card’s Yearly Spread. Therefore, they are some of the more important Saturn Cards of the year and will apply specifically to the areas of your life and personality that are represented by your Planetary Ruling Card.

Your Direct Saturn Card

The Eight of Spades in the Saturn Period

This period brings you the power to overcome illness and all work or business
problems. Success in work and health will come through hard work, discipline and patience.
You may reach a high point of success now if you work for it. This is not a time when things come easily and your work or health may have some restrictions or obligations associated with them. However, this card promises the overcoming of obstacles through consistent effort.
This card is such a strong influence that it will override any negative influences
present during this period. Even if your other Saturn Card were one of challenge or problem, this card guarantees that you will have a successful outcome and an overcoming of difficulties.

Your Vertical Saturn Card

The Ace of Spades in the Saturn Period

This period could hold some kind of concealed trouble, such as a disease or illness,
either yours or someone else’s, and perhaps a secret kept from you. Something kept hidden could be hindering you. This is a good influence for healers and physicians. This card can bring a recovery from illness or some kind of reversal in your health picture. A desire to uncover the underlying causes of illness could lead to your recovery or that of someone else’s.
As much as the Ace of Spades means a beginning, it can also mean an ending. It is the
card of transformation and transformation means death of the old and the beginning of the new. If there are parts of yourself or your lifestyle that are due for a change, this is probably the time when it will happen. Your other Saturn Card could tell you more about this change or tell you what area of your life it will affect. Though most of us fear changes, they always lead us to something new and better.

I am determined to beat this illness and return to perfect health in 2013. What is it you wish to do in 2013? Let’s do it together…
