'CRAZY' TRAIN OF THOUGHT
Osda Sunalei [Good Morning in Cherokee]
Read the last Daily Message titled, What To Do With Panic
This morning I woke up hearing "Crazy Train" by Ozzie Osbourne. As a clair-audient, music in my head is as audible to me as it would be if the radio was on. Ozzie is no doubt 'out there' but in my musical opinion, he's a musical genius. I specifically remember the last time I heard "Crazy Train" as a musical DLG and it was during the Summer of 1999. I was at a workshop in Springfield, Missouri on an equestrian farm that was a holistic education center.
It was day four of the workshop when I woke up with "Crazy Train" playing in my head and it wouldn't leave. When something like this happens then I just let myself receive it and don't fight it. You probably know what this is like when you get a song in your head and it won't leave. This was one of those times. As the morning rolled on I just couldn't concentrate. While everyone else was participating in a sound therapy chant with Tibetan and crystal singing bowls, I was over in the corner bouncing quietly on one of those big yoga fitness balls looking out the window at a horse standing under a huge apple tree listening to "Crazy Train". Once the horse and I energetically connected he took off and started running. He ran all over the pasture, then he would stop and look at me and take off running again. During the break I told everyone I had a strong sense that I needed to leave. It was an emergent feeling (very 911ish) and I absolutely had to leave at that moment. Not that I felt anything was wrong at home but that I just needed to leave. Everyone understood the gift of intuition, no one pressed me to stay and no one chose to go to that 'be careful worried' place. It was as simple as intuition and I was following it.
The minute I got in the car and closed the door I heard the very first line of Crazy Train, "ALL ABOARD, hahahahhahahaa!" The music stopped and I giggled. It was just like someone had turned off the radio. Now I knew this was the right decision. Driving back to St. Louis from Springfield is a 3-1/2 hour, 216 mile trip so I had plenty of time to think. Within seconds of leaving the city limits of Springfield there was a question mark in my head that said, "Why do my patients get well so fast?" So I just answered the question outloud.
I told myself the first thing I do is make a 'spiritual' connection with my patient. I challenge them as to what they believe. After all, if they stood in what they believe, how did they end up in my office? If they believed their body was a temple, why did they abuse it with food, lack of exercise, etc. Whatever they claimed to believe was not how they were living their life. Then I heard, "Write that down." So I got a pen out of my purse and on a receipt that was on the seat I wrote the words, "Spiritual Involvement."
The second thing I said outloud was that I do a physical exam and teach them about their body parts. I challenge them on what they are doing and aren't doing to their physical body. I get a history about other members in their family and their physical bodies. Who is going to end the "crazy train" of poor health in the family and influence the rest of the family members? Then I heard, "Write that down." So I wrote on the receipt the words, "Physical Energy."
The third thing I said outloud was that Renee (my Clinic Coordinator) would always comment on how my patients would cry within five minutes of beginning their appointment. She would always say, "How do you do that?" Somehow I knew the right thing to say and pull out what was really going on. The miserable job, the sad and disappointing relationship, etc. I went to that place with everyone and then tears would flow. Now we could get on with the healing. Then I heard, "Write that down." So I wrote on the receipt the words, "Emotional Attachments."
The fourth thing I said outloud was that I talk to my patients about what they are putting into their body and what is coming out of their body. After all, I did have a holistic pharmacy in my clinic and I also did colonic irrigations. I also refused to supplement my patients bad lifestyle with vitamins, herbs and homeopathy. Once the patient changed their lifestyle, then I recommended the appropriate supplements otherwise it would have been a case of me making money off them getting nowhere. Then I heard, "Write that down." So I wrote on the receipt the words, "Chemical Balance."
The fifth thing I said outloud was that I talk to my patients about their intuition. I wanted to know what they thought the problem was and not what some previous doctor told them or what someone else thought. I wanted to know what they thought the problem was right from their gut. And I refused to go any further until they came up with something. I think it's a load of bull when a psychic or intuitive says they cannot read themselves but they can read other people. Oh please! That's because they don't want to listen to their own load. Folks, as a 'sensitive' and an 'intuitive' who is clair-audient and clair-sentient I can tell you there are plenty of times when I choose consciously and unconsciously not to listen. Thank God I have friends who hear me when I can't. After thinking about how I teach my patients how to use their intuition, I heard, "Write that down." So I wrote on the receipt the words, "Intuitive Response."
Suddenly it dawned on me. I was obviously creating the word S-P-E-C-I-A-L. It was an acronym! I started praising God for pushing me to leave the workshop early so I would have plenty of time to receive His DLG and what He wanted me to do with this information. I had a 3-1/2 hours and 216 miles to receive all the information. Oh you betcha there are no accidents. I knew the word was S-P-E-C-I-A-L and that the last letter had to be Love. I heard, "Write that down." So I wrote on the receipt the words, "Loving Respect." Then I started pushing my intuition trying to force out of my brain what was the letter "A". Instead of letting the "A" come to me as all the other letters had, I was pushing and now I couldn't even think. So I stopped thinking about it and turned on the radio.
Now this was interesting, it was Ozzie Osbourne singing again. For some reason I cannot remember the exact song that was playing but it was definitely Ozzie Osbourne singing one of his really outlandish darker songs. As much as I enjoy his music, I remember the song I was listening to made me say, "Now why does he do that? Here God gave him all these wonderful talents and he sings something like that? Why do artists do that when they have all this talent?" Then I yelled, "That's it!" Then I heard, "Write that down." So I wrote on the receipt the words, "Artistic Expression and Creation." It hit me that God is the big "C" (Creator) and we are the little "c" (creative). Now the acronym had everything wholistic that I believe wholism to be . . Spiritual Involvement, Physical Energy, Emotional Attachments, Chemical Balance, Intuitive Response, Artistic Creation and Expression and Loving Respect. This is how the Treat Yourself Special Program was born. SPECIAL is such a cool word because it's describes each of us perfectly. We are all unique, matchless, exclusive, irreplacable, distinctive, rare and absolutely one of a kind. Geez, when I think about it on the deep level, I just feel sooooo special because there's only one of me and I can only be imitated but not duplicated. (winky wink) There's something very cool about that. And who the heck are we when we try to change someone else or complain, judge, gossip or whine about who they are.
I was only one hour into my trip home and the entire Treat Yourself Special Program was laid out before me. It was given to me because I was the one chosen to do it and it manifested itself because I listened and accepted the mission. When you are receiving a DLG (Download from God), why the heck would you doubt something like that? We're talking about God here! It doesn't make sense to doubt it, as if we would know better than God! I firmly believe that if you don't do something with the idea that God planted in your heart, then someone else will be given that DLG (Download from God) and then they will be entrusted to do something with it. That's how some people end up saying they thought of the same thing as someone else years earlier. Well, that's really nice but if you didn't do it, you don't get credit for it. OUCHY! And what if I just thought about creating this website and but didn't do it. Folks, if a crazy train of thought has come to you, my advice to you is get on board! . . .
CRAZY TRAIN
by Ozzie Osbourne
(See lyrics below the video)
ALL ABOARD! . . . hahahahahaha
Crazy, but that's how it goes
Millions of people living as foes
Maybe it's not too late
To learn how to love
And forget how to hate
Mental wounds not healing
Lifes a bitter shame
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train
I've listened to preachers
I've listened to fools
I've watched all the dropouts
Who make their own rules
One person conditioned to rule and control
The media sells it and you live the role
Mental wounds still screaming
Driving me insane
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train
I know that things are going wrong for me
You gotta listen to my words
Yeh-h
Heirs of a cold war
That's what we've become
Inheriting troubles I'm mentally numb
Crazy, I just cannot bear
I'm living with something that just isn't fair
Mental wounds not healing
Who and whats to blame
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train
"Now get out there, go place yourself UP!
and practice being you."

WHAT TO DO WITH 'PANIC'
Osda Sunalei [Good Morning in Cherokee]
Read the last Daily Message titled, Where Is Your Jupiter?
It stands to reason, if you can't handle something small, then you certainly won't be able to handle something big. If you can't handle ten dollars, then you won't be able to handle one hundred dollars. If you don't Love yourself, then Loving someone else will be like swimming after a beach ball in the water. The harder you swim, the further it floats away from you. So if you innately know this or something else that relates on this level, then why panic over it? Why panic if you know it already? It's not like its a surprise. Why panic if you blatantly choose chaos and not order? If you are one that chooses difficulty, then my question is, "Why not take acting lessons and make some money off those emotions because they certainly won't serve you anywhere else but the stage."
Panic is defined as a sudden overwhelming feeling (usually fear) that
dominates, replaces or prevents reasonable thought or action.
Panic can influence action, as well as, inaction.
Example I: The deer in the headlights frozen in fear. The impulsive and reactive driver swerving off the road. Both the deer and the driver panicked.
Example II: There are two legal concepts of panic that I know of, one is called 'emotional suffering' and the other one is called 'self-defense'. I'm not certain where 'temporary insanity' fits in but it seems like it belongs here.
Example III: In many jurisdictions it is against the law to yell, "FIRE!" when there is no fire in order to prevent a stampede due to panic.
It is interesting how we respond to panic in our own way. There are some people who are literally frozen in fear, others become confused and don't know what to do or think, still others will relax and follow the leader, while a few others will emerge as the leader. I find my own actions and reactions to certain situatio
