Hi everyone,

After reading Miha's, Ann's, Nikki"s and Megha's posts i realize there have been parallels in my own journey. Firstly, i resonated so much with what Megha, Ann and Miha say about Gaia and her journey and feel it reflects similarly to my own mother's journey so deep gratitude for that, and helping her find her way. Your gifts are priceless.

As with Nikki, i had been experiencing base and crown symptoms but wrote them off as only health issues. My lower back has been aching more than unusual as i reconnect with and help realign my inner child. A motorcycle accident when i was around 12 that affects my lower back and hip has especially started to call my attention for realigning. And the pressure and pain in my crown had been at times quite intense, feeling like i had a railroad tie wedged in it. i have no idea why that analogy popped up but apropos. After intense purging and the weekend of the Syrian shift i noticed a palpable relief and i feel like there's been some clearing and the symptoms have abated. Another parallel is a particularly troublesome resident had left recently, bringing a calmer, lighter energy to the house. Like a lull in the storm.

Reflecting on Open's interaction with the council, after some intense health issues (which i created), i've been feeling a pronounced need to greatly reduce my interference in my own health. It had become a habit to soothe myself with prolonged research into symptoms that were caused by excess but my unwillingness to curb that excess had me researching every natural way i could reduce symptoms and continue the indulgence. After all these years of taking supplements and herbs and alternative treatments, i've made enough mistakes and wrong self-diagnosis to realize i'm approaching it the wrong way. My body talks to me all the time, it tells me what it needs all the time. Only now i've been forced to really listen, understand and honour. And the more i listen the more i hear. Letting go of interfering and simply listening feels like bringing myself closer together, like the family is reuniting because the hyper-controlling father has seen the light and is stepping back and allowing his children to tell him what they need, not the other way around . He sees now his "guidance" was usually off the mark and not only not helpful but harmful. This is not done out lack of love but his own inherent need and deep attachment to be seen as the wise and knowing leader, which is where his worth resides until he lets go of this illusion and need and reconnects to the flow and becomes his more authentic self of a guide and supporter without imposing his will. That's all i got right now.

Gratitude to you all, namaste and love, barb, sylvanheart
