In the Spirit of Healthcare....
I'd like to start a little healthcare Healing Energy action for our dear Rowan. And this will be a very short blog. Because it asks you to do one small thing. Light a candle. A candle for Rowan's healing.
As many of you know Rowan has had two neurological ailments in the past few months. One was "taken care of" through radiation. But radiation to her head! It was a tangle of nerves, a nerve bundle near her ear. The other is a very painful condition called Trigeminal Neuralgia. It causes her severe pain on one side of her face - not even the entire side of her face. But an irritated nerve - imagine the pain of a toothache in just one tooth. Well, even if it's just one tooth you're glad when you dentist can do something to take the pain away. But there isn't a way to just take away Rowan's pain. Or to speed her healing from the radiated nerve tangle.
Now the purpose of this post is not really to describe Rowan's ailments. (And I haven't giving away any information here that Rowan herself has not provided here before). But to let you know that I, for one, am concerned about her. I've been sending her healing energy, positive thoughts and caring feelings. But I'm convinced we need an all-out campaign - so I'm asking for your help.
In Rowan's case it's not a lack of health care or medical assistance. It's a need to promote healing - body, mind, soul, and spirit. To make sure she'll be able to teach this Fall - as she loves to do. As we know, from Saladin, she does so well.
So here's what I'm asking. Please light a candle. Not just any candle. Click on the one just below:
Restful. Deep. Breath. Light a Candle.
When you click on the candle, it will take you to a place to "light a candle." And here's what I suggest. The site you'll end up at, sponsored by gratefulness.org, has a way to designate a "group" when you light your candle. I propose the group "Rowan" - and I've already started it. Here's a link to the candle I've already lit for Rowan.
Once you've lit a candle too, you'll be able to search for the group "Rowan" - and there, for 24 hours at least - we can see a visible sign of our care and concern for the health of one of our own. Here's a link for the Rowan Candle Group so you can watch the candles multiply. (You can also light a candle directly from there! Or from my Nothingness blog - on the sidebar, just scroll down.)
Health care. It's about more than legislation. It has to do with caring about your fellow person.
Peace to all.

I truly believe in the healing that comes with good thoughts and vibes from both within, and from others.
I'm lighting my candle.
Thank you, Thera.

TheraP, you have me sobbing. I was hoping for the best.
Health care is more than legislation. Yes.
Oh God. I shall pray........

I won't be able to comment more tonight - and maybe not tomorrow mcuh either. But please accept my deepest gratitude for your thoughts and candles and prayers or whatever you want to "send" Rowan for her healing. What affects one, affects all. And your help matters. Thanks again. :-)

TheraP - in order to light the candle properly, I have to finish something and then I'll be back.
Thanks for this. You are wonderful.

I wish we understood why this kind of thing so often actually works. But in lieu of that knowledge, I'll just light a candle with great hope. Thanks for presenting the opportunity. Hope you're doing well!

Oops I lit my candle before reading the rest of your blog so I used the group TPM. But this was a perfect action to take for care of someone we love. Thanks TheraP.

I did the same thing and then I found the group "Rowan" so I lit another one. Hope that was okay?

It was because I went to the link without reading further for the instructions. My bad.

I am not religious, by any means. I think you all know that.
But I truly believe that when one of our own is ill, our thoughts and prayers and well wishes add to something called, perhaps, karma.
And I believe that it works. Positive energy, positive thoughts......I mean, could all that be wrong, or go to a wrong place? No.
So, let's put all of our right thoughts and beliefs and heartfelt healing intentions in the right place.

Thera I just wanted to also let you know that I for one, having had the incredible grace of being with many, many evolved teacher sin my life, and having practiced tonglen etc. practice this lesson I learned during a LifeSpring Course when I was 23 and I believe you will understand it because it only works from the 'absolute' context:
Live life as if everything matters and makes all the difference in the world knowing that it is all perfect regardless. (A bit like the story of Krishna and Arjuna). I could not bear to be as passionately engaged as I try to be at times without also walking/dancing as my eternal self:)
I love what you are bringing to TPM with your new blogs and gifts of heart and soul (sorry for being repetetive there)
