Nimh's new thread

(The following is a Nimh exclusive.)

okay, that's one of the things your forum is for, right samhain?

i had dental surgery the other day. my mouth hurts. anyways, i was thinking about the spiritual reasons that we have illnesses. i think that things happen to us for reasons, whether to give us a learning opportunity or teach us a lesson, or because we've done something to draw that illness into our lives, or whatever. sometimes i think that i get sick because i need some downtime to nurture myself. i'm always so busy looking after everyone else that sometimes i forget to look after me.

And I totally agree. It's a chance to recharge your batteries and also allows you time to think about your life in general. Plus it also can help build an immunity to prevent something worse!

And speaking of doctors... my eye doctor's receptionist has the voice of an angel. She left a message that my contacts are in. I shall listen to that every day. It just makes me smile. She has one of those voices that calms and also makes you feel good.

sigh...

Ok, now back on topic!!!

I agree illness's are the bodies way of asking for help. but once you've got it I do think convential medicine is important too, to help cure the illness- so do go to your dentist.
also I think that the area of the illness has spiritual meaning as well, in this case the mouth, so I'm thinking what is your diet like, are you being told to eat better by the universe? also what are you saying recently, are your words full of peace or do they express anger- just some thoughts for you to ponder.
what do teeth mean to you spiritually?

thanks for the new thread you guys!

:)

you gave me some things to think about sam. the diet thing, i finally have under control. but as far as having peaceful words...well, that's an area that i've been working on lately. maybe as my mouth heals, i'll be able to find healthier ways of communicating as well. havent really thought about spirituality much lately either. not really sure what teeth mean to me in that respect. i'll have to think on that one some more.

Plus it also can help build an immunity to prevent something worse! y'know, i've been thinking about that a lot lately. and have been reading about how heart disease can be related to gum disease. i have a really strong family history of heart problems, so hopefully i've averted a disaster in my future by dealing with this stuff now.

and maybe if i can find more peaceful words/ways of communicating, i can avert a spiritual heart attack in the future too
