The land where the bong tree grows 2005

[glitterfairy]

Ok guys I have done some spring cleaning and the yurt is dusted out. I am out on the deck enjoying a glass of fruit cocktail and a spiritual moment. Come and join me.

SG thanks for that protection technique. Do you think it is necessary to do this before practising Reiki?

Also.. any one of you smart people on the Bong tree thread.. is there a visualisation.. affirmation, or something that could make me less succeptible to people who irritate me/wind me up or one that could make me less argumentative. (I wish I could bring my Bongian mood/character into RL.. because I often feel it is more me than the me I spend all my RL time being!)

I have fallen out with my best and closest friend in the world.. and I can't see a quick fix. It is a big bust up over something seemingly small.. but there are undercurrents from both of us. I deeply regret that it happened.. but I am still so angry about it.. I can't let that go and feel as if I don't want to. Our two families are so close that the implications of this are very far reaching. Every time I think about what happened I feel sick.. but I can't let it do. I know without a doubt she is still angry too.

Sorry if this is not the place for this.. but feel you guys might have some helpful insights! I know I need to spend some serious time in Bong Land very soon and try some self help! May also visit the Yurt Shop if it's still there!

SJ - don't do Reiki myself but mum (Spinel) is a Reiki Master. Have asked her advice for you and she will hopefully post when she has a minute.

SJ dont we all feel that the land of bong is a better place in many ways. But it is the RL struggle which in the end determines our happiness and the ways in which we address it.

Does your friend know how unhappy this is making you? Perhaps you should talk to her. I must say that if the will is there to make things better that is half the problem sorted.

Anyway if we knew abit more we might be able to help. It is awful when you fall out with friends.

SJ. it all depends what u mean when u say practising reiki, do u mean when u are giving someone else a reiki treatment? or are u self treating? if the former and u are asking for help from your guides they will protect you. if the latter then yes i would advice protection until u are more advanced. it is difficult to give advice on the boards because every one is different so what i have said is only a guide.

Hi Spinel

Yes I do Reiki on others..quite often.. but in small bursts (no time!). It's mainly on my DH actually.. this is why I got attuned (just over a year ago.) as he has arthritis and is always in pain. I have only done Reiki 1 and have been helping him quite a bit.. but read about protection/grounding etc on the MF site. The person who attuned my friend and I didn't mention it I don't think.. or only insofar as if you are treating someone's head, you then need to treat their feet as well in order to ground them.

Have never had any problems though, that I know of.. was just wondering really.

Thanks

Welcome StGeorge & Spinel to the land of Bong

Glitter, I think of as a protective layer around my aura. This helps me feel for any holes - cos holes can occur. I literally kind of feel around my aura area for any gaps. I like to stroke them and it feels that I weave the hole closed.

I quite like the idea of mirrors around me rather than a bubble. The panelled effect helps me individualise areas around my body. Although now that I am getting used to it I find the mirror good for me personally but if I am extending that out to include baby paps etc... then the bubble feels best. It is what feels right and comfy for you.

SJ ((((big hug)))) Sorry to hear this has happened. Of course you can share here... Bong land is for sharing and journeys in all weather. Funny how small things can make big problems. I think what Glitter said is good thoughts... and if you want to heal the relationship, while time is a good healer - separation can make the chasm wider. Only you can know ultimately the how your and your friend react / act in situations and how this can be healed. I know I am the type that needs time out for pondering. Sit with the sadness and see what responses you get - if you have time!!

HIya Paps! Have you had a good day? Mine has been a little better and dh has suggested I go for a weekend break as I am stressy and covered in spots and not sleeping! Wonder why?

I feel though as if things are starting to imporve and my spirit, which is always optimistic, is starting to lift itself out of this quagmire.

I am going to spend some time on myself on Friday and do some positive thinking.

sj, whats your name in mf? go in room 1 every night. Also do readings if asked!

Hi spinel. It's sleepy unicorn. I had a reading a few weeks ago.. it was good..and my first ever reading of any kind at all. I posted a request on the forum and Serenemooncat offered to do one next time I came into Chat. But I didn't think I ought to ask for any more readings.. being as its free and people giving their time and talent and all..

Who are you on there?

What is MF please?

Mystic Familiar

Oooh spinel did you mean YOU do readings??! Just realised you might have meant that... will sign in, in a bit.. and try to do so more often..

Glitter are you going to join? It's a great site.. I love it. Love and energy comes off it in waves!

May do thanks guys will take a look!

hallo
friends, baby paps & I have been roaming the Bongian forest watching, playing and laughing with the animals. In RL most were in cages But dd shivered with excitement to see the cows and ran around with goats and had a fab time.

SJ we saw some of the unicorns and they took us for a ride which was beautiful.

I can imagine you and baby paps on a white chariot drawn by unicorns paps.

How are you? Any sickness/tiredness? Hope all is well I am taking a picnic to the lake later and reading poetry.

Bit of both atm Glitter.... managed to have a good lunch though on the deck. Roast chicken and potatoes.. poor chicken. Still still have trouble eating meat... but felt I needed a easy to get meat boost today.

A picnic and poetry sounds fab... I myself am nose in book... Tiger Moon. About a woman with red hair who is quite an admirable, strong person I have baked a pineapple cake for the hamper.

Yum that cake was superb Paps and I enjoyed your strong red haired woman story LOL!

I have read Robert frost today adn my favourite poem ever which I will reproduce here even though it is long.

She is as in a field a silken tent
At midday when the sunny summer breeze
Has dried the dew and all its ropes relent,
So that in guys it gently sways at ease,
And its supporting central cedar pole,
That is its pinnacle to heavenward
And signifies the sureness of the soul,
Seems to owe naught to any single cord,
But strictly held by none, is loosely bound
By countless silken ties of love and thought
To everything on earth the compass round,
And only by one's going slightly taut
In the capriciousness of summer air
Is of the slightest bondage made aware.

I thought you would appreciate this poem.

Beautiful Glitter

I felt myself echoed in the lines-
Seems to owe naught to any single cord,
But strictly held by none, is loosely bound
By countless silken ties of love and thought
To everything on earth the compass round,

You do read well

I finished my book - here you can borrow it if you like.

I have quite afew books to read atm... heading in novel land direction as my brain once again slims into pregnancy compendious mode. I have the pile ready for tomorrow morning when I get breakfast in bed in honour of Mothers Day

As the weather is so splendid here in Bong land the elves are putting on a pyrotechnic extravaganza and the fairies are readying a feast on the deck. They are splendid. We must throw them a reciprocal party soon!

Sounds fab Paps have ahd a quick look at the book and will viwe in more detail in the morning. For now am having a dirty dancing night with my girls! DDs that is!

That dirty dancing on the deck was quite sensational.. we all learnt a thing or two

Off into the sun to play with the animals X

Lucky paps it has been on off rain here and I have had a duvet day reading trashy novels and getting much needed rest. I think my current forgetfulness is a result of my disturbed life recently and I need a soul bath and some real peace.

My sister is going to whisk me off to a hotel for a weekend of this soon and I am really looking forward to it.

In the meantime I am watching my girls dancing on the deck.

Watch out for those mermen once in awhile glitter, saw them lap dancing with some drunk fairies. Any opportunity those boys

A day under the covers sounds wonderful. As it was mothers day here I slept in and read for awhile too. Bliss - glad you are taking some time out.

Mermen have been, for too long, a part of my life paps I am consorting only with the maids for now!

Having a day of boating on the lake today with a visit to the island in the middle and a ride out later in the evening to see the sunset over the prairie.

It was your dd´s I was a mite concerned for

I was supposed to start school today in Bong land (not with Bloss - wonder if you come here and read this!) but with my new teacher who likes to be know as Panthera. She is a Tiger and will live in the forest. She will be teaching me the medicine of Tiger and promises that she won´t eat any wood gnomes, as long as we provide her with alternative meat sources.

I am off to blow my nose and feel dull. Enjoy the boat and prairie ride.

The illness is making me sit here in a daze... am off to my tree to read
