Audrey - calm down - take a big deep breath.

Have you ever thought of it this way - the endodontist specializes in root

canals, does them all day, is probaly better at doing them than someone that

only does them occasionally.

Letting dental work go can be dangerous - abcesses need to be dealt with or

they can create bigger problems.

I have had 5 root canals and none of them hurt - no people - I actually have

good teeth - as they are three on top and two directly beneath we have to

figure I got hit in the face with a ball or something when I was a preteen -

probably a tether ball at summer camp.

When I go to the dentist I bring my walkman and put in a tape and before you

know it it's time to go home. Dental anxiety is very common but not

necessary. Use some relaxtion tapes before hand and while in the chair. As

I don't have anxiety anymore over dentists I prefer Ricky Martin - loud. I

salsa in my head and totally distract myself.

You may want to see a hypnotherapist in your area for a session. It may

help with the whole life stuff you have going on.

Breath deeply and relax

Audrey:

I can well comprehend. For some reason in this lifetime teeth are a big

issue for me as well; it seems that when my foundations are teetering a bit

I almost inevitably break one or lose a filling, and it is never a simple

repair. I had two root canals last year but have deferred the crowns until I

win the lottery. It's the *bills* that make me go OUCH!

I use self hypnosis as well as a little hand mudra I have (I rub my

forefinger with my thumb) in order to get through dentistry. I have a very

high tolerance for medications for some reason; if I let them medicate me

until I didn't feel it I'd have enough stuff in me to down a pachyderm.

Something you might try that has also helped me is bringing a relaxation

tape and walkman, putting it on and turning it up so you don't hear the

dentistry noises. I tell the dentist I am " going away " and not to bother me

unless he has to. Then I try to go to sleep and pretend someone doesn't have

their hands in my mouth. It is a benign form of dissociation.

Since dentists all seem to be using those horrible dental dams nowadays, I'd

also advise that people avoid going to the dentist when their sinuses are

acting up! I had to do it last year and I vowed I would wear a snorkel the

next time I went.

Good luck, lots of energy coming your way.

Blessings,

Crow

I have heard of a " diamentia " or something like that crystal that is from a

mine in Brazil. Can't find internet address....does anyone know of it?

tnx,

Ramona! Thank you!

I just clicked on your website. Can you sell me wands?

I will tell you what I buy. I need 7 - 12 inches length, 270 - 400 +

grams...sweet spot is about 330-350 grams. Need 20 cm min. circumference.

I will buy anything you have. Right now I'm having to buy 4 dozen lots at

once, a few thousand investment.

Thanks for the info...I'll do another search.

Love,

Cheyenne

Hello Cheyenne,

What you are looking for are sometimes called " Singing Crystals " or Diamantina

crystals. They come from Brazil and when gently rolled in the palm of your hand

make a great tinkling sound different than that of crystals from other parts of

the world. Almost always, crystals from the Diamantina mine are laser wands,

some are double terminated. Hope this helps a little.

Blessings,

Ramona

Caoimhe...

You have taken the first and most important steps on the journey

of self-healing. One of the wonderful things about the process of

change is that changes, once begun, tend to continue automatically

and amplify over time.

If you can, you may want to pick up Diane Stein's book, " The

Essential Reiki, " and start doing Reiki on yourself. If you know

someone who knows a form of energy medicine, that would be

beneficial, too. Depending on your current religious or spiritual

beliefs, prayer or meditation will help.

I understand that the wounds may be too fresh for you to feel

forgiveness at this time. Remember that the reason we forgive is

to allow ourselves to heal. Until you are ready for that, you can

use the energy from the anger you may be feeling to fuel your

determination to feel better.

Others on the list will undoubtedly have additional words of

encouragement. If you want to write to me off the list, that

would be OK, too. You can see more about me at

My best wishes for a fulfilling journey.

Hi:

Joel's suggestions are all good and I would like to add: First, a good paying

job and since your knees probably dictate a sitting job, look into schooling or

training for " sitting " jobs...like computers, medical coding, etc. Second, make

lists of short term and long term goals and start checking them off as you

accomplish them. Third, one of your short term goals should be to become

independent and able to support yourself as soon as possible. Fourth, Joel is

right...forgiveness will benefit you and will come in time, you have other

priorities right now. If you can find a local abuse support group, it may help

and provide you with contacts outside your current circle. Through your contacts

at work, school or support groups, perhaps you can find someone to share an

apartment with once you become employed. Your situation is temporary and a

better future lies ahead... Penny

I'm new to this but I think I need some support in my life.

I've always been a great believer in self-healing. I recently bought

Louise Hay's book and a few by Dave Pelzer and I can honestly say

that they gave me the courage to change my life for the better.

You see, over three years ago my stepfather raped me. My mother

didnt' believe me, I had to leave home and about a month ago I tried

to emigrate but it didn't work and my mother dragged me home.

During this much needed time away i realised i hated my job as a

public servant and resigned. THe only reason I came home is that I

was born with both my knees out of alignement and had torn ligaments

in both my legs so had no choice but to return and rest for a while.

I've done that for two weeks and am now looking for work that I'll

actually enjoy again.

I'm staying with my aunt who is a catholic nun who keeps lecturing me

about forgiveness and my granny who has advanced alzheimers and

breast cancer so it's pretty hard going. Plus nobody has acutally

siad isn't it great you're home in one bit but keep lecturing me

about how stupid I am.

That's really all for now.

Supportive answers would really be appreciated.

Caoimhe,

I wish I could reach out and touch and hug you but since I cannot I will

extend every bit of empathy I can with my words. I feel for you and I wish

your family did the same but they seem uncapable of it. I hear your need for

support, the total support your mother should have given you and didn't. I

hear, though you have not expressedly spelled it out, the pain of being

raped and the added incredible pain of not being believed. Its hard to

imagine that, yet it is so common. My wife was betrayed by her own mother

who tried to take her child away from her and that was like a rape also, a

rape of her soul.

I think your aunt nun should get down on her knees and pray for forgivenesss

for not understanding much about compassion and empathy and being so weak

that she cannot even convince her sister, your mother I presume, to open her

heart to the truth. And she should ask god for forgiveness for being so

ignorant as to lecture a hurt young being about forgiveness, knowing nothing

of its dynamics.

I am sorry to hear that you are surrounded by such people, but alas that is

the karma of so many people on this planet. We come here looking for pure

love and needing pure love and do not find it easily. But I give you mine.

If you want to continue communication with me I invite you to email me

privately.

Warm Regards,

Mark

Hi

I am a kinesiologist and have worked on clients who have been abused and have

great results in letting thr body decide the priority issue to deal with that

your bodies energies can safely deal with at that present time, therefore not

putting your body into a healing crisis from trying to deal with to much to

soon. I would suggest looking for a kinesiologist with some experience in the

emotional side of your trauma, and a kinesiologist or chiropractor who is

proficient with N.O.T. neural organisational techique, which may bring your

knees back to normal, or at least will have dramatic improvement them.

Good luck and best wishes on your healing journey, as you start to heal these

things, many other things will heal along the way, its a good bonus for taking

the steps to healing.
