Hayfever & Energetic Sensitivity--What's the Soul-ution...?

I had the most challenging few weeks of allergy-symptoms ever. If you don't suffer from allergies, you're probably wondering how a spot of 'hayfever' could be so challenging? Put it this way. I had hayfever (itchy eyes, sneezing, runny nose) for almost two weeks continuously. I said to the angels, 'I really must find a solution this year! I don't think I can take much more of this!' I hate nothing more than 'popping pills' to treat myself. I always prefer alternative, non-drug solutions, though of course the symtpoms become so bad sometimes that I have to take medication. Hayfever, for me, becomes so bad that I cannot do anything that requires concentration, let alone think! And this occasion was certainly one of them! What I mean't by solution, when I spoke to the angels, was of course a 'soul-ution', a solution that takes my soul into account. A solution that takes into account the fact that I am an individual, rather than a 'one size fits all' for whom the same pill will do the trick for me just as it does for everyone else.

Anyway, I walked into the chemist after asking the angels, and I thought how whenever I ask them I receive what I ask for. Despite my symptoms seeming so bad that I wondered if they could really help me out with this challenge--maybe angels find hayfever too challenging!--I knew that this challenge shouldn't be any different from any other. 'If you ask, so shall you receive.' Whilst standing there, looking at the endless display of summer-season medications, I over-heard something on the speakers, an advert mentioning some hayfever solution, but I didn't quite catch what it was. Before I could go up and ask, I noticed a section with the chemists displaying medical devices. And there it was. My angelic solution, or at least part of the solution, a treatment based on ...wait for it...Light! This drug-free solution involves putting a device into the nose, which fires red laser-like beams. Clinically proven, it works by convincing the cells that release histamine to stop doing so. As an indigo and lightworker, the whole concept of using light for healing was of course far more pleasing and comforting to my soul and psyche than taking medication.

I thanked the angels and walked home thinking that my hayfever might be cured for ever! All you do with the device is use it for 3 minutes every 5 hours. The results were pleasing, and at the very least lower my need for medication. But by thursday 12 June, my symptoms had seriously worsened. Having fainted on a couple of occasions, I was now experiencing recurrent migraine, brought on by light. Flourescent lights found in supermarkets, shops, and other big buildings, were the most serious offenders. And of course computers. Relying on my computer to, for e.g., write this newsletter, is clearly not helpful! Which is where this gets tricky, because I don't believe I have simple hayfever, but also major sensitivity to electrical items...more on that in a moment...

On Friday 13th June my migraines were becoming stronger. I went shopping with a friend and had to walk straight back out because the lights were aggravating me so much. I was then drawn to visit the chemist. This time I was open to the possibility of trying more medication. I bought a nasal spray as well as a fresh bottle of olbas oil for my sinuses which had been aching for many days now. I didn't like the look of the sinusitis nasal spray and the main ingredient, but I knew I had to do something about my symptoms and fast. I used the spray, once in each nostril, and inhaled deeply only to be greeted by a chemical taste dripping down the back of my throat. A couple of minutes later I actually felt the spray in action. I'm not sure my reaction was the usual reaction, but let's just say it felt like someone had poured acid or coca-cola into my brain and it seemed to move from the front to the back. I felt dizzy again and wondered if the spray was such a good idea after all. The blurb on the box said it worked within minutes to release sinusitis and lasted up to 10 hours! Ah well, who could argue with that...

However, I still had achey sinuses and so on when I turned up at my friend and reiki student's place for some reiki healing! We had tea and chatted for a few more minutes, giving the spray plenty of time to work, but I still felt the same. She invited me to lay back and receive reiki, and the pressure within my third eye and sinuses was incredible. After 30 minutes, I opened my eyes and felt okay again, realising that it was either the spray or reiki or both providing me with this welcome relief!

But it didn't last long. I actually started to feel worse again. My sinuses had cleared somewhat, but now I was feeling flu-like. Indeed, whilst having the reiki, I had become acutely aware that what I was feeling was similar to flu or cold in many ways. I went home early and slept till next day, but braved--with sunglasses--a few minutes at the computer writing an email to all the staff of 12listen and 12angel. To say that they helped me was an understatement. I had at least ten messages by next day, all offering me solutions and healing. Thank you guys! Because when I woke up next day I felt great.

Luckily, it came to a head by the Saturday and I was fine again, but my condition was so far gone, that both chemists I visited that day said that if the symptoms I had continued much longer I should visit a doctor for a course of anti-biotics. The moral of the story is, hayfever can be very serious indeed!

So what have I learned? Well I'm going to keep it practical for now and let you know what you can do to ease or cure your symptoms...

1). Red Light Therapy. A simple device which uses red light to suppress histamine
2). Wearing sunglasses. On the saturday I went to a friend's, and found myself sneezing, unable to keep my eyes open, and falling asleep. He worked out the connection with light and gave me a pair of sunglasses! I stopped sneezing and I was able to keep my eyes open again and felt wide awake!
3). Olbas oil. I swear by it. It's a menthol type oil that when breathed can instantly unblock your nose or sinuses. And the following information thanks to Lisa B of 12angel: '1/4 teaspoon course salt. 5 drops Eucalyptus Essential Oil.
Place the salt in a small vial (glass is best) with a tight lid and add oil. The salt will absorb the oil and provide a convenient way to carry the oil without danger of spilling it. Open the vial and inhale deeply, as needed. This same technique can be used with any Essential Oil for other issues.'
4). Sound therapy. Download a free brainwave frequency generator at http://www.bwgen.com and use the following frequencies for hayfever: 20, 727, 787, 880hz, and for general allergy relief: 3.0, 330, 727, 787, 880hz


The interesting thing that has come up for me this year, is that both light and sound therapy (different forms of the same thing, energetic frequency!) have been very helpful to me this year, and as we can see with the Red Light Therapy device is now sold on the general market as 'clinically proven'. I have not heard of any clinically proven devices for Sound Therapy yet, but there is research for this approach and it stands to reason that sound affects us just as much as light.

I have gone into this whole allergy challenge a bit deeper with myself, and I suggest you do to. I have asked myself what is the underlying psychological and energetic reason for it? I found my guidance saying that it is because of my starry nature. I also sensed it was because of my discomfort with living on planet earth! There is much truth in this, as I often complain that I shouldn't be allergic to natural things like pollen, and I have always blamed the rising levels of pollution for my hayfever. Interestingly, I read an article in New Scientist last year which confirmed my belief, saying that hayfever is exasperated by pollution because pollen attaches itself to particles within exhaust fumes. Hayfever, for me, represents a discomfort or anxiety with the quality of energy upon earth, and the anxiety is the fear that I may not be able to live within the environment for much longer! On some level I also feel that it is an aspect--a part of me--protesting at the way the world is and hence not wanting to be here! I know, consciously anyway, that this doesn't 'have' to be true for me, because there are plenty of people who do not suffer like me.

To some extent, allergies go hand in hand with being indigo or sensitive, which is why I have the sensitivity to electricity also. But there are ways around this. Practical things we can do, like those suggested in my list above, and deeper things we can do, like meditate go within and ask why you choose to suffer this way? And what you can do to release this choice to suffer? Just by knowing 'why' may help you release this, because then you may know on a deeper level that you did indeed choose this for yourself!

Last night at my psychic meditation circle, I had an old guide reconnect with me. It was a star-being, surprise, surprise! He called himself Nu and said he is to guide me to help synthesise the terrestrial and extraterrestrial 'sides' of me, to make a completion, a wholeness again. He offered me a couple of gifts, including the crystal Unakite. Afterwards I looked in my friend's crystal dictionary, and was shocked to find everything within it to be relevant to me at this time. Most relevant to this article, though, it said Unakite can be used to help you get to the root cause of any health problem. I suggest you find yourself some Unakite, courtesy of Nu, and start digging!

Who are the Indigo Children?

Who are the Indigo Children?
by Jamie Basil

The indigos, by their very nature, can be hard to define. They resist labels and hate nothing more than limiting perception. However, we live in a world of labels, and so whilst 'indigo' may seem inappropriate in many ways, we realise there are worse labels out there like 'Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder', a common psychiatric explanation given for these children (and adults, because many of us have grown up now!). Doreen Virtue turns that label on its head beautifully by re-labelling ADHD 'Attention Dialled into A Higher Dimension'! Enough said...

Indigos were first noticed in modern times by Nancy Anne Tappe in the late 70s, a parapsychologist who started noticing children with indigo auras. By 1984 it was believed masses of these children were coming in, and today most children are 'evolutionary changelings' of some kind. They are referred to, in general, as 'the New Kids on the Block', preparing us for what lies in store 2012...

Please note that the indigos, crystals, star-kids (whatever you choose to call them) may be different but they are still human. The main point is that physical age has nothing to do with spiritual and psychic wise-ness. The Soul has it's own age. In the words of Swami Prabhupada:

'The body is changing--from one form to another--but the spirit soul is existing eternally without changes. ...our body has been changing... This process is generally known as 'growth', but actually it is a change of body. On this earth we see change of day and night, and change of season. The more primitive mentality attributes this phenomenon to changes occurring in the sun. ...weaker...[or] dead. With more advanced knowledge we see that the sun is not changing at all...'
 
And with more advanced knowledge we find that physical age does not determine Soul age. We are all 'older than our years', including our children!

So how does one work out if you or your child is indigo? Well, I believe we are all indigo really, which is a big part of why the indigo children are here in the first place. Simply by being here, they wake us up through rememberance of their original state, to who we really are. Many of us have forgotten, but the indigo remember although they don't necessarily know that they are 'indigo'. They may thus be recognised by the following traits:

1). They are very strong willed and may appear 'opinionated' or 'cocky'. They dislike any form of authority.

2). They are system busters and assumption questioners. Instead of accepting explanations like 'That's the way it is' they ask 'WHY is it THAT way?' Instead of just looking for problems they also like to find solutions. They can go into any system, and, without training or education, quickly notice inconsistencies and hypocrisy.

3). They are often mis-labelled as 'ADHD' (hyperactive and attention deficit), autistic, AS (asperger's syndrome or high functioning autism) Bi-Polar, dyslexic etc.

4). They are highly intelligent, but often not classicly so. In other words, they tend to have high IQs but they may not perform well in schools or tests due to boredom. Note that at least a quarter of children with high IQs, sometimes at genius level, flunk school exams! They may also have genius in some intelligence other than IQ, for example creative genius. (See below, also, for 'high SQ').

5). They are very wise and aware for their age. May appear spiritually precocious and knowledgable (separate from religious knowledge). They have, in other words, a very high SQ (Spiritual Quotient)!

6). On the Myer's Brigg personality inventory they tend to score as ENFP (extraverted, intuitive, sensing, perceiving) types. I predicted this whilst at Open Univeristy studying psychology in 2001. A recent surge of indigos reporting such scores on the Children of the New Earth magazine chat room has appeared confirming my logic. Of course, I am an ENFP too, which is why I made the prediction, as well as the fact that ENFP's tend to outperform the other 15 types on tests of Psi (or ESP, extrasensory perception) according to research.

7). They will report feeling chronically estranged, 'lost', and searching, with a strange anxiety that 'something' is going to 'happen'. This, I believe, is due to a semi-conscious awareness of who they really and their life mission which is related in some way to the environmental, social, and spiritual-scientific revolutionary changes (aka 'ascension 2012') that are happening on Earth. Once they become conscious of this, the floating anxiety tends to dissipate.

8). Display sensitivity to other people's thoughts and emotions, their environment, and life in general. This includes a vivid awarness of their own 'inner world'. Such children may be considered 'intuitive' or 'psychic'.

9). They may report imaginary friends, seeing and communicating with spirits, angels, ETs etc

10). They have an apparently poor sense of 'time'. They may even have problems understanding the concept, not just being 'on time'! They tend to think in terms of patterns and non-linear relationship (holism) rather than organise themselves according to the concept of the 'forward arrow of time.'

11). They may report past life and even future life recall, or having lived on 'another planet'! More rarely, some experience living a 'secret' or parallel life as some other being, often 'extraterrestrial' or believe they are foreign to this planet. (I tend to refer to those children with extraterrestrial life recall or who experience themselves as 'not from here' as StarChildren or 'Indigo StarChildren. Those who have serious difficulties in this area I believe are suffering from 'Multidimensional Personality Confusion'!)
