Dismayed with PCSO, DSWD, SSS / 2nd Reiki Session

Dismayed with PCSO, DSWD, SSS

I'm dismayed with our government system. For you to get medical or financial help from PCSO, you have to be indigent. So, one must be poor? How can you eradicate or lessen poverty and help the economy if people must be poor to qualify for help from our own country's government? I don't see how this help or the logic of it?

On the other hand, in other countries, if you're a pensioner, you're entitled for a sickness and/or disability benefit from the Social Service Security. But in our country, if you're a pensioner, you are no longer entitled to it. Gee? WFT?

Same goes with DSWD (Department of Social Welfare), too many red tape. I can't even get decent help. They responded with my inquiry but left me hanging in the process. This is what I call "Good Custmer Service" and "Good Public Service".

2nd Reiki Session with Lia Bernardo

I had a great time earlier with my Reiki Master helping me spiritually and learning meditation. I was happy too when she gave me a black onyx and howlite bracelet to combat negative energies and help me heal with positive energy. I'm excited to master even in a basic level of it. I feel refreshed. 2 more sessions and I'm good as she says. Hopefully, I am hoping.

My Introduction to Reiki

I met an acquaintance last 2004 thru a classmate from Instituto Cervantes and met again for the first time today to help me with my dad's cancer and from carrying the weight of the world on my shoulder. She introduced me to another person thru an acquaintance as well and both of us met this new person, a Reiki master.

I had my first glimpse and session of this wonderful and meditative art of spiritual healing. The Reiki master told me that I had a lot weight to unload and to learn to love and take care of myself aside from taking care of others. She also mentioned that she is having this vibes regarding a child... an inner child. She asked questions about my childhood and my infancy and we ruled out that it all started from that point and told me I should have at least 6 sessions with her in her condo in Ayala Avenue, Makati City. It's a layer by layer issue that needs to be addressed slowly because it could be cathartic is done all in one seating. After my first session, I feel lighter.

My assignment is to light a candle and meditate by staring at the flames for 5 minutes. This is the first process of the healing technique by teaching me how to practice and learn meditation easily before we go to the harder stuffs. During this session, she told me to obtain a pendant or statue of St. Raphael the archangel and to pray to him and ask for assistance. He's also the pratron of the troubled, travellers, happy meetings, blind, nurses, physicians, etc... I told her recently I got a miniature statue from a friend (Raffi) as a Christmas gift. She said, that's a good sign.

Note:

What is Reiki?

Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by "laying on hands" and is based on the idea that an unsee "life force energy" flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one's "life force energy" is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy.

The word Reiki is made of two Japanese words - Rei which means "God's Wisdom or the Higher Power" and Ki which is "life force energy". So Reiki is actually "spiritually guided life force energy."

A treatment feels like a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through and around you. Reiki treats the whole person including body, emotions, mind and spirit creating many beneficial effects that include relaxation and feelings of peace, security and wellbeing. Many have reported miraculous results.

Reiki is a simple, natural and safe method of spiritual healing and self-improvement that everyone can use. It has been effective in helping virtually every known illness and malady and always creates a beneficial effect. It also works in conjunction with all other medical or therapeutic techniques to relieve side effects and promote recovery.

An amazinlgy simple technique to learn, the ability to use Reiki is not taught in the usual sense, but is transferred to the student during a Reiki Class. This ability is passed on during an "attunement" given by a Reiki master and allows the student to tap into an unlimited supply of "life force energy" to improve one's health and enhance the quality of life.

Its use is not dependent on one's intellectual capacity or spiritual development and therefore is available to everyone. It has been successfully taught to thousands of people of all ages and backgrounds.

While Reiki is spiritual in nature, it is not a religion. It has no dogma, and there is nothing you must believe in order to learn and use Reiki. In fact, Reiki is not dependent on belief at all and will work whether you believe in it or not. Because Reiki comes from God, many people find that using Reiki puts them more in touch with the experience of their religion rather than having only an intellectual concept of it.

While Reiki is not a religion, it is still important to live and act in a way that promotes harmony with others. Dr. Mikao Usui, the founder of the Reiki system of natural healing, recommended that one practice certain simple ethical ideals to promote peace and harmonry, which are nearly universal across all cultures.

Fundraisers



It's so hard making a fundraiser that will be successful. Alot of planning and effort and hard work is needed. Unfortunately, I need one asap for my dying father so I can be there for him until the very end providing palliative and nursing care. A last gift a son could give to his father.

After the last (5th hospitalization) in Quirino Memorial Medical Center, Proj. 4, Q.C., the neurologist and pulmonolgist suggested palliative and nursing care is the only option that can be done. My dad's life expectancy is between a month to a year, but estimatedly, perhaps only 2 months. But nevertheless, I must give it a try once more. He is aggressively loosing all his bodily and mental functions, including his eyesight. This is very painful for him and for me.

The 4 tumors (liver, lung, 2 in the brain) already devastedly destroyed his body and soul for I cannot imagine how horrific this can be to a person experiencing it.

If only I still have the strenght, the skills, the connections... May God hear my cry...
