pain points · Dits & Dahs

Sue: I awoke this morning with a tinge of tonsillitis and yep, I am sixty five years old and still have my original equipment. Given that I don't circulate amongst a lot of people, who knows what brought on the infection other than a virus of some sort. But it got me thinking about not having the remedy that my mom used to use, which was to paint the tonsils with a bit of iodine to ease the pain and heal. It's not something that you're recommended to do is to ingest iodine. But the trace amount that comes on with a swabbing on a tonsil certainly does the trick. But it's been so long since I've experienced tonsillitis that I don't carry iodine in my medicine cabinet. And whatever it is that I'm experiencing, I'm grateful that I'm not feeling under the weather. But it's a reminder spiritually that same thing is true. You can be infected with negative energies and not necessarily feel that it's bringing you down, but nonetheless they're there. And that when you're proactive about your positivity, you sort of build up your own resilience, defenses, resistance. It's not perfect, 'cause the thing about energy is that it's what is our makeup. So sometimes it's really hard to discern when s energies are lurking around you that aren't yours. And this is why you have to be proactive, being positive. It's not about being exuberant and bubbly as much as it is just about having your life being surrounded by things that give you joy and happiness. And to recognize That if everything around you isn't, you need to make a change. It won't just automatically go away. It'll just get worse. One of the things you can do is take the positive energies that are lurking around you and amplify them. Somebody acknowledges the work that you do? Well, maybe that's an opportunity to make a nice meal for yourself. For example, right now the pain point of buying groceries is such that everybody's affected. Treating yourself to a meal that you know you enjoy eating is a big deal. And that's all that it needs to be in terms of positivity. Even better, if you make more than you need for yourself and you share it with a neighbor. As a widow living alone, whenever I buy produce, there's only so much I can do in terms of portion control, so invariably I'm making enough of the vegetables and fruits that I use for more than one person. I don't need to have all of that hanging out in my freezer or refrigerator, taking up space for other things that might be more relevant. One of the things about sharing food with your neighbors is that it builds the relationship with your neighbors. It's like building Dharma, spiritual equity. Because the other aspect about it is that you're never expecting a return fair from them. That's not the point. Giving yourself or the others around you a positive thing is where it's at, for maintaining the positive vibe going on. And this is what the devil knows as well, is that most of us throughout our entire lives have been unaware To those energies lurking around us, causing us negative results in our life, impacting us in a way that may seem so slight. That's life, or man, what a break, or who to thunk that was hiding my way. You know, all of those kind of things. And that's your clue, that's your synchronicity, to help you better understand how helpful it is to your own self to raise your awareness and pay attention. And believe me, it's not easy. But seeing these little baubles and wonkiness in your life that happen might not have a demonic attachment as its a generation of energy, but it is being impacted in your life in a negative way. And it's important to heal from that. Doing little acts of random kindness for your neighbors. is one of the ways that we can better bolster ourselves and inoculate ourselves against those negative energies. Cause I can assure you you may be e being used as an intermediate vessel to pass on that energy to someone who is targeted, like myself. And you wouldn't know that. And there's no need to be obsessive on that. There is a need to just be aware that the energies that lurk around you that you know are not generated by you that are positive. Step up and do a little more positive things towards others. They don't make you practically indestructible spiritually without much effort on your part physically or intellectually. I know this from my personal life experience. Watch my testimony. These are as ever, my views and opinions that I express on my blog and I share them knowing that you might be experiencing something similar in your life and this is your confirmation. So if you want to share some of your leftovers with me, let me know. In the meantime, thank you for listening. Everybody else does.
