Weekly Healing Project #2 | August 10 - 16: Healing for Loss of Heart (Discouragement)
Weekly Healing Project #2 | August 10 - 16: Healing for Loss of Heart (Discouragement)
Optional Part II: Healing for Atlantis



I chose this weeks healing focus because so many here have said they are experiencing profound discouragement. Discouragement contains the word courage which is derived from the latin for heart cor so it truly means loss of heart. Celine Dion's heart may go on and on and on (until I want to scream when I hear that song today but that is another thread) but mine does not. It gets heartsore, heartsick, and down right brokenhearted that at times that all I want to do is crawl into the nearest hole and never come out. We usually can't give ourselves the hermit time for the rest and healing we need when our hearts go into shut down and so this week's project.

I selected Atlantis as the earth healing focus because I do believe it existed and that it's destruction inflicted a terrible wound on humanity's collective psyche that warps so many people's perceptions and reactions to this day. Somewhere I came across the term Catastrophobia for this deep wound. I have no idea how much healing we will generate here but anything that reduces this wound in us and the world will make us that much healthier.


If you wish to take part in one or both parts of this experiment please post in the sub-thread I will start below saying you are in. Those who are depleted and just want to receive please put your name in as well.

Please send energy to those who sign up and this thread as well to charge it so that later anyone who wishes can visit it for additional healing. The suggested times for those who want guidelines are 6:30-7 AM & 6:30-7 PM. You are NOT expected to send the entire half hour or twice a day or even daily! Those times are just rough guidelines for those who prefer working in a framework. Otherwise send when and how long you feel is appropriate. All energy healing techniques are welcome whether prayer, Reiki, visualizing colored light, chanting, singing, dancing, crystals or something totally different as long as the intention is for the highest good of all involved.

Sharing experiences and results are optional but totally welcome if there is anything you feel comfortable sharing :)


For Next Week:
Weekly Healing Project #3 | August 17 - 23: Healing for Healthy Self-Worth
Optional Part II: Washington D.C.

2. I'm in as well
With the loss of my dear Casper and Kagome, I'm struggling with my heartache. Especially concerning Kagome. I was very close to her and I can't help myself with all the grieve since her departure. We were only together for a year and I feel as though she didn't live a long enough life. I miss her so much:cry:

Words cannot express how heartsick I am over losing her.

9. I am in
thanks for this great opportunity! One of Pema Chodron's meditation she calls Tonglen is to breathe in the suffering of the world and breathe out love. When I do this, I ground the energy in the earth so that it not mine.

12. There is actually a simple trick to get rid of repetitive song fragments and thoughts
it just takes a lot of repetition for it to work. The moment the song starts repeating in my head I send reiki to it and whatever bit of my brain has that stuck on repeat for a few breaths. I do the same with a repetitive thought such as excessive self-criticism when I make a mistake or an inherited phrase which has been passed down in my Mom's family "I don't know why I bother. I might as well give up." that is said by many when under stress. One day I caught myself saying that and I remembered my Mom saying that since forever. This made me wonder if she learned it from someone and when I asked she didn't remember saying it herself but did remember that is what her father would say when frustrated.

It took many, many mini-reiki sessions but eventually I got to the point I rarely now get songs stuck in my head and rarely chew myself out for making mistakes. Additionally they are easier to get rid of than when I first started using this technique.

Thanks.

17. Count me in.
Personally, I'm not as discouraged as was true last week. However, I had two crash and burn days from the overwhelment. A very lonely birthday tipped me all the way over.

I've been feeling like a walk-in in this life. "My" life. It doesn't feel like my life any more. This is a very strange thing, something completely new. I've had to conclude that I'm really not a very nice person. After 54 years, I've got to give up the delusion that I'm a nice person. I really thought I was. I'm too tired any more. I'm just my "terrible" self. As is.

The self esteem materials will tell you that we are not our actions. That helps with the despondency some. Am I my decisions? Because I've had to conclude that I SUCK at making decisions.

I'm working now on being okay being a really rotten person who can't make a decent decision.

19. Please add me!
I've had so many health/financial problems the past few months. Just when I get one thing taken care of, another emergency pops up. One after another. It's been very hard digging myself out.

22. Wow- prayer is definitely more powerful now.
I'm grateful that we're closer to the Holy Creator. Trying to spend time each day on this week's prayer topics...thanks again for leading this!

23. Hi Peake :-) Can I add your name officially to the receiving list?
Some prefer an official list so I am trying to get everyone's user name on there who want to receive.

I am very glad you are enjoying the process so far :) I know I felt better with all the shifts going on after last week so I hope everyone else felt at least a bit more at ease with any changes they are experiencing as well!
