Advice, Prayers, etc.

Namaste Brothers and Sisters,

 

 

Hello family, I did not get a chance to read emails on my vacation, I missed

all of these wonderful messages! A lot I had to delete but I kept the ones I

thought might be interesting to me. I haven't finished reading them yet. I

wanted to talk to someone on here that said there husband was an acupuncturist.

I am thinking of going this route with Hannah as it seems to be the best choice

and I need to know how effective this might be, the lasting effects, and the

cost of such a process. I have found the only acupuncturist in my area and it

happens to be right up the road...AND...get this....the initials are AAMA

...which made me think of Amma.... I don't know maybe I read into things to much.

But I prayed and this is what I get. Ironic. It caught my attention, and its not

drugs. I will feel A LOT of guilt if I have to give Hannah drugs. The School is

starting to push me into it saying they are having a meeting about Hannah and

what to do for her and that it can't continue in 1st

grade and its only OK now because Kindergarten is not required. The list goes

on. I'm trying to find out what my options are. What about home schooling would

I have to pay someone to home school and how much would that be, is there some

kind of state aid for this etc.? I myself can find NO time whatsoever to home

school Hannah so that is not an option. This is just so stressful. I love her so

much and at the same time I keep asking "why did I get a child like thiswhats

wrong with herwhat am I suppose to do with this child" I can't see Amma

wanting me to drug up my child. What would be the point. And what is the lesson

in this now that I am going through? It all just brings me to tears of sadness

and frustration and guilt. My only option that I can see is acupuncture. I am

hoping to have a consultation with this one I found and see what he says. I

wonder if it is impolite to ask if anyone might have some sacred ash to send my

way? A thousand apology's if so. Please send your

deepest prayers my daughters way for healing and for an option on what I should

do. All my love.

 

At Amma's Blessed Feet,

Robin

Om Namah Shivaya Robin,

 

It is my understanding that state-funded homeschooling is not being

offered in very many places at the present time. An option might be

to join a teaching co-op, where parents take turns teaching the group

of chldren. I don't know much about this myself, but have read about

it online.

 

I can empathize with your not wanting to go the conventional/medicine

route with Hannah. Have you taken her to a naturopathic doctor to

find out what may be wrong? Many insurance policies cover

naturopathic and alternative therapies like acupuncture now (though

if you don't have insurance, it can get pretty expensive - I've read

that the cost of acupuncture varies from $50 - $100 per session,

though I haven't had experience with this modality in many years so

I'm not sure if this is accurate or not).

 

I will pray for you and for Hannah's health and well-being while I am

at the feet of our Beloved Mother (Jai Ma!)

 

With love,

 

Kirsten

Dear Robin,

 

I feel for you, and your daughter.

 

If you have decided to go the accupuncture way, I think it is a good

idea.

 

I thought this bit of financial advice could come in handy:

If you have enrolled in Flex spending (FSA), then starting from

2004, the accupuncture treatment could be paid off using your FSA

dollars (un-taxed $), therby insuring money does not go off your

pocket.

 

Do check with the accupuncturist and your insurance and your Flex

account administrator for details to see how you can make this work

best for you.

 

Jai Ma!

Namah Shivaya Robin,

I have hesitated writing you before because you and your daughters

difficulties are a bit too close to my own. But today I feel moved to

offer you my thoughts and prayers.

 

I adopted my 14 year old daughter as a baby. She had a very traumatic

prenatal and birth period. She was a beautiful, but wirey baby, a

constantly moving toddler, and "high spirited" when she entered pre-

school. We were fortunate to have enrolled her in a pre-school that

cared enough to encourage us to wait until she was 6 to start

kindergarden.

 

>From those first school days until now, we have had to work with the

public school system her in CA. We live in a rural setting, and the

only private schools are fundamentalist Chrisitian and not in line

with our personal family beliefs. Every time we got a report card, or

had a counseling session, or got those "special" phone calls from the

school, my heart would fall. "She can't sit still" She can't control

her selfShe won't stop talkingShe has problems with others'

were some of the comments we have heard over and over again.

 

We were tempted to give her meds but my heart just could not go

there. What has worked (so far) is to meet with the teacher/school

and let them know that we are aware of the challenges that our child

faces, that we empathize with how trying her behavior can be at

times, but that with special considerations, the problems can be

handled.

 

First, we ask that she be seated nearest the teacher, and far removed

from other children who may also be having problems with attention or

behavior. We also ask teachers to let us know of all of our childs

problems in class so that we can discuss them at home with her. We

have found that rewards for small improvements in behavior and school

work helps. Also helpful was to find somewhere where our daughter

could experience some measure of success. She likes sports, so we try

to provide her with opportunities to participate, especially in

sports like swimming, tennis, track etc. where she competes against

her self. A family therapist has helped us greatly, and I believe

that alternative therapies may hold some promise, although we have

not used any with our daughter.

 

What I have learned for myself through all these trying times is that

I need to remain centered, and that I should wait to take action

until I have reflected on the available choices. Meditation has

helped me to step aside from all the turmoil and gain perspective.

Having Amma in our lives is the most precious gem.

 

Storms come, and go, but my child has needed me to be her rock to

cling to as she has tried to come to terms with what her life has

brought her.

 

My prayers for your strength, and for your precious daughters

happiness.

 

Jai Ma!
