Epistaxis...Ugh? It's nosebleed in English, my love. Ok, I almost didn't have it. Maybe once in my life and just one drop. I believed it didn't count. However, I have this case. She's my dear friend and she's only 8 year-old. She's quite mature, I have to say. She has nosebleed very often, as I heard. I met her in Avatar course and we have been best pals ever since. I refused to grow up and she can't wait to become an adult. Anyway...Her relatives have been telling me her epistaxis problem. No one knew the cause. After her nosebleed situation, she always wanted ice cream. However, eating ice cream would put her in fever. One day, in the course, we two were fooling around. She was using my laptop to draw pictures online

 and all of the sudden she strated to have nosebleed. Thanks God my 2 grade next seat classmate always had that and I didn't have the panic attack. Just out of a feeling, I asked her, "do you feel any inability in your daily life?" She kept silent. I looked at her and said ( I still can't figure out how those words came out of my mouth), "you have done what you can do. Don't feel that you are just a child and have no power over the situation. You do what you can do and it's more than enough." I know she took my words. She's a very special child. Sensitive...even with great great intuition...I don't know if it's a curse or a blessing. Children with great sensitivity can feel the energy around them so well. It comes from the both sides. You can feel the positive and negative energy better than others. If a child can't handle this feeling, it may cause some symptoms and reactions from the body. In my dear friend's situation, she has nosebleed. She felt rash when she has no control over things she encountered. When someone feels rash, it indicates rapid/impulsive energy flow in the body and the person may feel some heat or rising temprature. Ok, for my friend, she went for the ice cream. It's not just something cold to cool her down. It's also sweet. Sweets have known to be able to block your feelings. For OSHO class participants, they have been asked not to eat sweets because sweets would slow down/block your awaring ability. Ohh well, for my friend, she doesn't spare herself from escaping with the sweets. She creates resistence. Therefore, she has fever after eating the ice cream. Doctors have told us that fever comes from the confrontation of your immune system and the invaders. Confrontation is a resistence force. Whenever I face a situation I don't like and start to resist it, my body temprature goes higher. If it's serious, people will call it a fever. The only way to solve this is create an acceptance. Tell yourself that you are safe and capable of handling these situation. Ohh, yeah...my dear 8-year old friend has been used to have nosebleed everyday until she took my affirmations. No bose bleed until the end of the course...Coincident? All I can say is that diseases may have general causes internally. Trying the affirm yourself with a few sentences won't give you any side effect, unlike some pills. Again, whatever helps, give it a try. Love yourself with no hesitations (I know I know...it's hard...I am still trying, too).

I have been reading some information on the connection between numerology and mediations these two days. Numerology represents methodology of relationships among numbers and living things. Every living things  can be associated with a number ranged from 1-9. There are different interpretations. You can calculate the number based on your birthday, birth name, or some information attached to you for your whole life. I personally more belive in using the birthday to calculate the number. Your birthday can't be changed, but your name can, For me, a name is just a symbol. I have had more than 50 nicknames called by people all around me. Some are used more often than my birth name. In my opinion, once you recognize a certain calling, it becomes you and you own that identity. In some Asian fortune telling method, name changing is one way to change your luck. Usually, it requires more than 500 people to call your new name to change the energy field of yours. Ok, it's enough about the name. Let's talk more about numerology and meditation.

 

My dear tarot card instructor, Grace, wrote an article about numerology and meditation. Too bad it's not in English or I would really recommend it to everyone. There is a meditation method which is most effective to people with a certain number. However, any well-designed meditation is helpful to you if you do it right. I will recommend some methods below. Most of them are from OSHO. I also provide the links so you can see more information on the official OSHO website. I will also share some of my personal experience on meditation below.

 

There are some important things (at least I think those are worth mentioning) about meditation:

1. Remain an empty stomach when you do the meditation. Some meditation methods involve lots movements. It will be bad to throw up in between. You won't be meditated. You will feel more stressed because of the sick stomach and the stink smell.

2. Let yourself BURP out loud. What? I should burp like an uneducated kid? Yes, my dear. Let's see why we would be burping during the meditation. When you burp, the emotions compressed in your 3rd chakra (the stomach chakra) or even the 2nd chakra (the solar piexus chakra) will be pulled out. Let it out! Why do you want to keep those bad inventory in your body? DO BURP! Ohh, if you burp a lot, please clean the energy field of the room afterwards. Don't let the bad enerfy stay there. IMaybe, you won't be affected by the released bad energy anymore, but other people entering the room may be. How? I usually use the white sage. You can get the white sage bundle online. Just google it. Burn it, hold it and move along like drawing  a bolder of the room along all the walls. If you don't like the smell of the incense (or your roommate/family/spouse doesn't like it...don't burn the sage and get into a fight after you do the mediation...totally not worth it), you can try Pomander Airconditioner from Aura-soma (a british company). It costs much more though. Or, if you can find other air spray that can clean the energy field, that's fine also. Make sure it's all natural, no artificial ingredients.

3. Drink a lot of water slowly afterwards. After you calm down and take a few deep breathe, drink water. Water can clean your body and also provide the energy of transformation. Drink it slowly, and try to drink warm water. Don't drink icy water. Your body is warm. Pouring icy water into a warm body is like forcing the cold and hot energy to bump into each other instantly. Imaging pouring the cold water on a heated board. How loud can the sizzling sound be? That's how much energy is released at that instant. If this kind of relase happens in your body, that's a lot of impact. Please try to avoid it.

4. Wear comfortable clothes. You are not entering a beauty pageant. Yon't need to look trendy and/or sexy. I used to dress in those branded sportswear when I exercised. Guess those companies really did great advertising and brainwashed us. Now, I even get my pants in target. They are made of cotton and comfortable. You may have a lot of movement in the meditation. You must feel comfortable in your clothes to do so. Of course, if you feel very comfortable in clothes as tight as Catwoman's and can run in high heels, that may be a different story. I just make my recommendation here.

5. Select the music you like. Some meditations require background music. For OSHO meditations, CDs are available. No matter where you get the music, make sure you feel comfortable and/or delighted when listening to it. IT'S YOUR MEDITATION! I would recommend music without lyrics or sang in a language you don't understand or the lyrics you can be enchanted with. You don't want to use something like AO Technology or A Piece Of Me. Yeah, you can feel the beat and dance with it...WHEN YOU  ARE CLUBBING, DUH! One point of meditation is to calm your mind. If you keep thinking and singing along with the lyrics, your mind are too busy. You are not meditating. You are creating more emotions!

 

Now, some experience I think worth mentioning on different meditation methods:

OSHO Dynamic Meditation: Do land on the flats of your feet when jumping up and down (in the third step). Your whole sole must touch the floor or you are wasting your time. Yeah, your legs will get sore in the beginning. It's normal and worth it. If your legs don't get sore, either you are not doing it right or you have been over-excercised.

 

OSHO (Sufi) Whirling Meditation: In the first step, if you feel dizzy doing whirling, lying face down on the floor to let your naval contact the earth. Do get up again and start whirling after the dizzy feeling is gone. When doing the first step of Sufi Whirling, there will be a lot of energy to be pulled out. If you are new to these, you can easily feel dizzy after just few rounds. It's ok. You have compressed your emotions in the past too much. Just rest as mentioned above a little, then continue.
