Healing Waters

I awoke today to the sobering news about elder States person Ted Kennedy & the origin of his recent seizures; a malignant brain tumor.
I say sobering, yet not entirely hopeless.
Ted Kennedy has led an extremely public life as the member of a legendary Catholic New England family.
As with all lions & lionesses of public life & service, he has walked through tremendously roller coaster-like times.
Suffering as a brother, not one but two very public assassinations of his own brothers, John & Robert, we shared he & his family's grief, for we were all profoundly affected & wounded by such ruptures, catastrophic ruptures in the often slower & more pedantic machinations of day to day governance.
He also walked through personal trials & tribulations in his own family life with a very human vulnerability as well, falling into the snares & temptations any man & woman who attempts to live a walk of faith in a public way is inevitably subject to. With rising to those challenges to integrity with more or less grace, depending upon the individual involved.
In his case as long-standing Senator from Massachusetts whose life-long demonstrated passion & heart have been to improve the lives we all share in common in America, our Commonwealth, Ted has truly desired for us all greater Common Health; with greater, universal access to the very best we have to offer in service to this fluid & dynamic goal.
Ted is most enduringly known for being a Champion of Health CARE. We studied him avidly in our Public Health policy courses at Simmons in the Nursing program.
So now this lion of the senior Senators faces a challenge as yet unmatched. An enemy within. A rogue malicious spidery tumor, too intertwined in his intelligent brain to be excised with the scalpel of even the most expert brain surgeon.
Ted can not cut out this space invader.
We who love him & respect him from a distance, who share he & his family's prayers for his recovery, can be comforted ourselves that Ted Kennedy has health insurance, & personal resources to receive the very best medical treatment the finest institutions in Boston can offer. Generally, according to the press, the initial attack on the invader will be in allopathic traditional forms of chemo & radiation. As thousands upon thousands of cancer survivors can attest to, this combination has brought positive results, remissions, & an absence of the dis-ease of the cancer.
ADDITIONALLY, he, as the avid scholar that he is, can look into an increasing pantheon of Alternative Remedies to support the Boston medical, traditional approaches.
Having such dis-ease, pain & suffering, as cruel & heart-wrenching as it may feel at times, is actually part of a marvelous System which is in operation universally.
Physical pain can be seen by all of us who suffer it, as an alarm our physical bodies set off to GET OUR UNDIVIDED ATTENTION.
Physical pain, seizures, unconsciousness are like smoke alarms in our kitchens. They are shrill & obnoxious signals that motivate us to immediately look for the source of the smoke, or in our bodies, the pain.
If we borrow from the idea that we live in differing & highly fluid & dynamic emotional zones; 0 being dead, & 4 being highly elated & blissful, then when we have our attention drawn inward by pain we are being drawn down the lower end of the zone. We have time for little else than getting rid of the pain. Which may be simple or more complex depending upon pain's origins.
As the pain eases it allows higher parts or the more complex areas of the brain, the left & right lobes which translate the pain into meaning for us, to move outward from simply alleviating the alarm signals to analyzing how to prevent them in the future. We learn from the experience of pain, & in so doing glean some hard earned wisdom from that highly personal & internal experience. We also move out of total preoccupation & internal focus of our own alarming problems with pain to be able to use those in service to our most significant beloveds whom we live with & our friends, family & community.
Pain can be a huge wrecking ball to the internal belief systems we have built up over the years of "how it is", to catapult us into the possibilities of how it might be. Pain CAN expand our consciousness if we so choose. How we deal with the challenge of pain can help us flow into a river of healing waters wherein our own belief systems may well break up as in the spring thaws of our rivers into new & more life-producing healing waters.
So to all who are reading this, to those who care about our senior Senator here, I encourage you to look into some alternative remedies along with the ones you are used to; to help heal Ted. Ted, if you read this, I encourage you to look into the use, as a support to the team you already have in place, of Flower Essences which are also Healing Waters in a bottled form, easily taken into the physical body through water-based droplets.
I, along with a host of other Essence crafters & practitioners, are standing ready to help. There is a vital link to learn more about these at the INEDA website or by going directly to Google; Green Hope Farm Flower essences. Molly has certainly expanded my awareness of these highly useful & practical helpers in the form of small dropper bottles of essences.
I also urge you to look in to the Emotional Freedom Technique or EFT.
From my own experience, I can tell you these useful alternatives support my ongoing recovery every day & night I use them.
My prayers are with you Ted, & your whole family. We all pray for a speedy recovery.
