A Prayer Request

My legs are aching.  I have a neurological disease named Freidriech's Ataxia.  It is due to a genetic defect and it gets progressively worse over time.  I didn't even know that I had the disease until I was 15 years old, at 27 I was forced into a manual wheelchair, and for the last 2 years, I have been using an electric wheelchair.  It is a disease that has taken one thing at a time away from me.  I used to play baseball - I even have 3 trophies.  Then, I couldn't walk anymore, and now I am in pain all the time.  At times (like right now), it is really severe.  I feel like my legs serve only one purpose - to deliver pain.  There's no easy way out.  There's no shortcut home.  I just have to ride it out till it hurts no more.  I never feel sorry for myself, but sometimes I wonder how I am able to endure it.  Please pray for me.

  

Hi David,

Thanks for sharing......I'll definitely include you in my prayers....I will also ask that we might come to better understand our pain....I'm not sure exactly to what purpose our pain serves us but I do trust that there is a "plan" behind it all....

peace and love....

Hi David,

I'm definitely sending you lots of love and healing energy. I recommend that you post this to the Healing/Energy requests section which you can find at the top right of the home page of the portal. The blogs section in which you posted is often not read a widely. You take care and thanks for joining us here.

With much love and support,
Fred

    Welcome to the TT portal David.   I just wanted to connect with your suffering and remember the stories of very highly evolved Buddhist monks that underwent tremendous physical suffering.  Its hard to wrap our minds around this until we look at the role of Karma that we all carry in our stream of consciousness.  There are some that take the heroic journey to burn off all of their Karma in one lifetime and ascend to help others be liberated from their suffering.

I am so glad you found your way to this group that we can all be taught by your journey and thank you for sharing.

There is a quote about "letting go" that was forwarded to me without mention of the author...It is the last paragraph about loss:

   "Through it all, we can get pretty discouraged at times. When we get discouraged and let down over and over again, and feel that all our dreams have shattered, we become apathetic. This is perfect. It puts us into a space of letting go. We simply do not care anymore. This makes us let go and release the energy of attachment. We are then residing in neutral energy with no agendas and this allows much more of Source to enter. And of course, allows us to let go of many of the illusions."

I sit in Tonglen meditation with you, allowing your suffering to move through me while I breathe a space of infinite possibility for you.  Namaste, my friend.

If you are in agreement David, i will re-post your note to my prayer groups and reiki circles for additional assistance. i will also include you in distance reiki which i work with daily to various folks in need of healing energy as will these circles of lightworkers. i believe Creation works through us when we are open channels to it, and working with others with shared intent and prayer healing can happen. For reasons unknown to us, we are all faced with different challenges and lessons. Many blessings and much light sent to you as you work through what you feel. Welcome to the TT portal, we'll assist you in whatever ways we can. Let me know if you are open to allowing our assistance, and it will be there. Namaste. kristyne

Here is a link to the remote possibility that certain frequencies, when listened to, may be able to help with the pain. I feel so helpless at times like this when all we can do is pray and focus our intent to help you in a metaphysical way, but maybe I am still missing the point that that is the most potent tool in our arsenal, so I will agree with you in prayer that we wish/intend for your pain to diminish and then be gone forever....

oh, and here is a youtube sample of some of that frequency music that uses specific frequencies from "the Perfect Circle of Sound" (notice the other selections of youtube samples of these frequencies to the right when you click on this link) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SeMn69Alu8k

I will also attach an illustration of the perfect circle of sound frequencies

Supposedly, it builds character.  If so, I am getting stronger every day.  Thank you for your prayers.

Dear Tricia,

Thank you for your enlightening message.  I will try to release the energy of attachment.  I never thought of the fact that I can use this lifetime to burn off all of my Karma - at least I know that I am not suffering for not.  Thank you for meditating with me and for taking the time to show your concern.  Believe me, it is much appreciated.

Love and Peace,

David

Love and Peace,

David

Dear David, Light that you are,

I have posted your request as promised to two large Reiki support circles, a Beacons of Light circle and the Coptic Fellowship. You can be assured energy will be sent from many and thus multiplied on your behalf.

May your day be easy and blessed by many small miracles. If I can be of any assistance please feel free to post or email via the TT team. We are here to support each and every one of us. Love and Light,  kristyne

Hi David

Last night I prayed for you and started sending you healing energy, and this morning as I was  reading  A Course in Miracles I got wonderful messages about healing, part of which I'll share with you later. For now, I wish you all the possible relief and comfort.

I'm so happy that you have found us!

With lots of love and joy,

Norma

I really appreciate the time and energy you have spent on my behalf.  Knowing that I have two large Reiki support circles sending me energy comforts me.  I will try to open to their intentions.  Thanks for being such a wonderful, caring, soul.

With Love from a grateful heart, David

Hey David,

Have you ever had the pleasure of reading A Course in Miracles????

After reading the post at your other forum I have a feeling/hunch you would really enjoy it, and it just might be a possible help to your physical ailment too....  The author's story is an amazing one! I almost think that people looking to read ACIM should first read Absence from Felicity to get a real grounded appreciation for how ACIM came to be...

I just saw this thread and reading through it, I was going to suggest the same thing Kristine did and offer the energy of the Distant Reiki Healing Circle of which I am a part.   Since you have already agreed, I will add you to the healing list immediately.  I will also do Ho-oponopono for you as well.  I hold high strong intentions for relief of the severe pain and a mind of peace and tolerance to that which you must bear. So it is  and it is so, for the highest and greatest good of the universe, you and all involved.

L&L
