Guest guest Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 Hello. My name is Maria and I'm looking for some alternative help with my medical/emotional problems. I am a mother of a 2 1/2 year old and recently lost my beautiful angel who was six month old to SIDS in May. Since then I have gained a significant amount of weight, which has caused my all ready messed up back to ache even more. I have joined Curves to start with strengthening and *hopefully* weight loss. But here's the kicker. I work 12 hour night shifts and my sleep pattern is WAY out of whack, which has thrown my eating patterns out of whack as well. I have not have my shakrahs (sp?) cleared in about 5 years and I know that it is not helping with the grieving process. I FEEL so clogged!!! I am very emotional, as to be expected. So, I'm here looking for some advice and maybe a few helpful hints to help me here and there, as well as my family. Also all of this has effected my sexual relationship (which was VERY healthy before the death of our daughter) with my husband. Meditation is starting to sound like a WONDERFUL idea, but with a 2 year old in my house, it's a lil hard...lol. Any advice is welcome Thank you and have a blessed day.

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 Hello Maria, I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your daughter. What a difficult thing for anyone to deal with. What you are experiencing is a situational depression from the loss of your child. If you have insurance, see if you can find a good counselor. Or try a community mental health center or crisis or women's center. Medication, on a temporary basis, may also be helpful. You can also try theraputic massage such as cranial sacral or other things to counter the stress. You need to understand that what happened is not your fault. Counseling can help with this and with the grieving process. If you know a minister, he or she may be able to help. Some of them are trained counselors too. If you have a close relationship with a spiritual teacher, such as Jesus or Mary, call on them now. Mary is a wonderful helper and as a mother will understand what you are going through. As for chakra cleansing, you can get a good tape or CD on the internet and do this yourself for now. I'm sending you light and love for a spiritual healing. Namaste, David PS.

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 Hello Maria, Angels come to touch our lives in a very special way...they come, sprinkle love and joy and then naturally leave us after staying with us for a very short time. They have to go and sprinkle that joy and love elsewhere too!!! I can imagine how agonising it would be for you to deal with the loss and any amount of advice and good words would not be enough to help you. You yourself will have to become brave and go ahead with your life. Life as they say never stops for anybody. One thing that really helps is, just take out time to look at people whose sufferings are greater than you. That would give you some solace that the angel did spend some time with you afterall. All your physical problems are related to your mental state only. And remember your husband is equally pained so you both need each other more than ever before.Sex is an extension of love. infact it is the ultimate state of love and love is all pervasive. Try it out, you will find great comfort in each other's arms. Meditation is one of the biggest and the most effective healer as it gives you inner strength to deal with any situation. You do not need too much time for doing meditation. In fact, to begin with you just need to do it for 15 minutes and that much time one can always find despite a 2 1/2 year old. I do not know where you belong to and what your beliefs are but certainly you would have heard about yoga. We begin yoga with very very simple breathing exercises which are called 'pranayam'. These can be extremely helpful to you. In case you are interested, you may write to me or seek any professional yoga instructor's help. May God give you strength Pari -- In , " traviesa0chula1 " <traviesa0chula1 wrote: > > Hello. > My name is Maria and I'm looking for some alternative help with my > medical/emotional problems.

Guest guest Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 Maria, I am EXTREMELY saddened to hear about the loss of your precious child! This has to be one of the hardest thing anyone could every go through. I cannot possibly understand the myriad of emotions you are going through, but I am sure they are normal and need to come out. If this were me, I would ask God for the strength to heal me and pray for comfort. I would imagine after you have grieved your course, these other issues will slowly resolve them self. May our Lord take you under his wing and provide you with the strength, comfort and peace you need. Many Blessings, Roe ~ Roe www.roe.cellularhealthplan.com v | The greatest gift one can give is the gift of health! v | U U U U U U ~ God is GOOD and Jesus is coming! ~ I am living to Live AGAIN!

Guest guest Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 Words can not give justice how sorry I am for your loss. You sound very courageous. I am a firm believer of allowing ourselves to experience even the most difficult of emotions. I sit in awe of others who can make it through such tough times. In regards to the back pain this I can relate all too well. I found that the most effective exercise are pelvic tilts. I was in physical therapy for my back injuries and the exercises help to this day. Yoga can be great though I can not do a few of the poses as they will activate a flare up. The worst one that shouldn't be done by people with lower back injuries is the one where you are lying on the ground and you twist your bent knees to the side, this was my favorite move. Depending on the severity of your injuries to your back the pelvic tils can be started at a low level starting with very subtle pelvic tilts holding for a count of ten and slowly increasing intensity as able. This can be done lying in bed even. I can also relate to the post baby weight gain! I am struggling currently with my own. When you have back injuries it is very nerve racking because you don't know what will cause a flare up! I recently purchased Bliss in a Box from one spirit. I cant do the actual three days of isolation but I use all the tools. There is a cd and cards for yoga poses that I have to say left me feeling great! no pain and a general feeling of ahhhh, just skip any of the twists, I also alter the cobra pose so I am not up on my hands in a dramatic curve but stay on my elbows. I have found success with sticking with whole grain foods, using a lot of the good morning meat replacement meals for extra protein, and lots of veggies (and beano) This coupled with lots of fluids, daily detox tea, green tea I try to have a 16 oz glass with 3/4ths pure 100% cranberry juice diluted with water over ice every evening. It's bitter as heck but you acquire a taste. It's so good for you! I could go on and on but I will spare you but good luck! with your back and weight loss. Keep us in touch with how you are doing?

Guest guest Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 Dear Maria, My heart goes out to you. I lost a full term newborn in May many years ago, and that was bad enough. I can only imagine the agony that goes with losing a living baby in that sudden way. Give yourself time please. As a woman you have to deal with two factors: the grief, and getting your hormones back to not-mother normal. Are you a nurse, with the 12 hour shifts? Try your hardest to establish some healthy eating patterns. Prepare and take along some healthy finger foods that you can eat when you have an appetite. One way to help your energy body and your whole family is Emotional Freedom Technique. It can take the edge off that raw overpowering physical grief. It does not take away from the memories, or the love. Just the pain. Even a 2 year old can learn to do this, and it can be done in stolen minutes here and there. I have a PowerPoint presentation that is easier to learn from than the e-book. I can send it to anyone who wants to learn this wonderful, powerful healing tool. ask me at ienvan The e-book is free for the downloading here. http://www.emofree.com/a/?875/1 As for regaining hormonal balance, of course there are herbs and superfoods to help with that, and of course many of us have our favorites. Please remember that different things work for different people. Take a look at what is out there, both in 'online stores' belonging to members of this list, and in your local health food store. Then ask for Guidance and follow your heart. Find some good whole foods-based energy bars that you can grab on the go. Read the ingredients. Many are junk. Dr Joseph Mercola has one on his website that looks good if you like coconut. BG bars from Cell Tech have great food, though they are a bit too sweet for my taste. Get a good green drink, so you get your fruits and veggies even if you can't stop to eat properly. The one on Dr Ben Kim's website looks excellent. If you visited my online store stocked with rainforest plant magic I would recommend the following herbal support. Lunazon, herbs from the tribal midwives. to help your system regain a normal cycle. It is harmonizing and calming too. Sumacazon All-over gland food, rich in minerals, protein, B vitamins, energizing and a good tonic for female sexuality. Calmazon As the word implies, to help your churning mind relax. Metabazon To help with blood sugar balance and food cravings. The store lives here. http://wildhealing.net That's all for now.

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2006 Report Share Posted December 19, 2006 Thank you David, my husband and I have seen a grief councilor and have done a group counciling which has been beneficial, but it seems that many days are still a struggle. Medication is kind of out of the question because of my occupation and security clearance. I have read many books, but I am looking for an alternative on top of the usual things...I am very interested in the massage. Thank you again for writing!! ~M~ , " divya4753 " <divya4753 wrote: > > Hello Maria, > I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your daughter. > What a difficult thing for anyone to deal with. > What you are experiencing is a situational depression from the > loss of your child. > If you have insurance, see if you can find a good counselor. > Or try a community mental health center or crisis or women's center. > Medication, on a temporary basis, may also be helpful. > You can also try theraputic massage such as cranial sacral > or other things to counter the stress. > You need to understand that what happened is not your fault. > Counseling can help with this and with the grieving process. > If you know a minister, he or she may be able to help.

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2006 Report Share Posted December 19, 2006 Pari, Thank you very much for writing! I used to meditate a lot when I was in the military to help me deal with the stress...I think I can find meditation time after the little one goes to sleep. Hubby's work schedule had changed and we will be spending more time together, so maybe that will help as well (he's going from nights to days and we will actually be sleeping together 3 nights a week - I work nights as well).

Guest guest Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 You can get a really good chakra balancing tape by emailing _Crkdarrow_ (Crkdarrow) and inquire as to cost and let her know that grey eagle sent you. My condolences and understanding. I too have lost a couple of children. Peace, thyme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
