Guest guest Posted November 21, 2004 Report Share Posted November 21, 2004 Hello All, First, I am e mailing to ask for prayers of wellness for myself. I am a Graduate student who is just about to complete another semester of school (yeaH). All semester, I have been looking forward to my first retreat with Amma. I intend to fly from Nashville, TN to Detroit on Wednesday in the early evening. Here is the challenge...As of this past Friday (it is Sunday), I have come down w/ a cold which includes coughing and loosing my voice. Interestingly, years ago, I went on my first 10 day meditation retreat and had the same thing happen. Besided being run down physically, it may be that mental, emotional, spiritual, cleansing has started. To those of you who have attended a retreat before: Is it common for one to get sick prior to a retreat w/ Amma? Thank you in advance for your prayers and feedback. Sincerely, Lori Guidinglight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 21, 2004 Report Share Posted November 21, 2004 Hi Lori, I find that it is common for me to get sick prior to and/or after a retreat. I am not sure why this happens, perhaps because of the emotional and physical strain...? Good luck and I will see you at the retreat. With love, Erica Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 22, 2004 Report Share Posted November 22, 2004 Lori, Don't cancel your flight. This is some kind of test or something from Amma. It seems like we all have tests that we have to go through to get to Mother...financial problems...illness...problems with work...missing flights...delayed flights...just about everything. Things do happen, and it is our duty to push through them to get to Mother's embrace... She is waiting for you on the other side of the tunnel...!

Guest guest Posted November 22, 2004 Report Share Posted November 22, 2004 Amma doesn't cancel when she gets sick. In Santa Fe a couple of years ago, several times she went in the side room to vomit and then came back and kept giving darshan. on 11/22/04 9:50 AM, Erica at sugarandbrine wrote: > > > Lori, > > Don't cancel your flight.
