Diwali is here and its time to banish the blues and sad unhappy times. Must look at the new year with optimism and positive outlook. You generally hear people say - you have to count your blessings. In the recent times I have not had much to add into that blessing category. Ill health has plagued my siblings and myself. Sadness and pain has become a part of life and almost a habit. I was speaking to my friend yesterday and she asked me what my rashi (star sign) was. She was interested to see how astrology works and so was looking at the astrological predictions in retrospect. Now I am a skeptic to some extent as mostly one hears about needy people being taken for a ride by charlatans. But she was saying that if appears that the stars were positioned in such a way to give me ill health. However if this past was rightly foretold then surely the future it predicts will be right? Seems this time is for change in every way and health gets renewed and life apparently is going to be renewed.
Well I can say its about time the stars moved around and gave me a better life. I do not want much - just peaceful life and cessation of this constant pain. Also I would like to reduce the medication (my bedside looks like a pharmacy) for when one starts one medicine the rest follow to stop the side effects of the one take before it. Now for the first time I am starting to reduce medication so maybe the new year is going to be better after all. The peace will come as well, as I get reconciled with the losses in my family. There is a new hope in my heart that surely it is time we have a change of fortune and begin to prosper. There are 4 of us destined to complete our study and the plan is that all of us will focus on the studying to help us cope with our losses and to achieve what our loved ones wanted us to. Then again I read a bit about noetic science and it all seems to say that being happy is in our own control. Also our minds can heal as well. Despite being skeptical of astrology, I do believe the saying - mind over matter, or else how can we explain the healing by practices such as reiki? Some people learn this art and some just have the ability. I think all of us have the ability but some are more open to it than others. I have never learned the art of reiki, in fact I have not even heard of it when I discovered that I could do healing for those symptoms that were stress related. I also find that I have to want to heal, that is it has to be for a person I care for. Also it only happens when there is genuine distress. Never could understand why these two points are important but that's the way the gift work best. But then I have never sued it to help people I do not know. Now that I am physically improved I can practice reiki on myself and so mind over matter is most likely to prevail.
Another thing life has taught in the last few years is relationships are those made by you rather than just the blood relations. Now I find that I have a few good friends and they do not fall in the category of family or friends, they are just MINE. So I prepare for the better times with positive thoughts and clear mind focusing on improving health and happiness for myself and MINE. Just try to make my little corner of the world a better place.
