Why all the Trouble?

For so long, it seems I have had illness. I am a healer. Why does this happen to me so constantly? I get rid of the illness, and then another illness comes along to replace it for me to attend to instead. I guess I don't have enough clients yet to occupy my time. And to heal them instead of me.

My current problem this moment is a sneezy nose and having to use tissues a lot. If I didn't I would be living in a cave, maybe not in some other time, but certainly with another lifestyle. I have tried not to use tissues in the past, and at one point managed it somehow with handkerchiefs. But not when I have such a runny nose, it is impossible.

Nose - you are impossible.
Right then, says nose. I will be that. 
Hey Nose, I need my life back now!
But I am part of you. You will have to wait.
No Nose, I know you know I am typing this as you just tried to stop me from writing again with your constant demands for more tissues.

The last illness of my body was eased a few days ago and went on the past month or so. I have had hormonal imbalances, and this has caused me to be going along fine on my mountain bicycle, off to catch the train, and suddenly I got too hot, and felt dizzy. And then threw up. Managed to catch my train somehow and struggle weakly through the day with organic ginger tea frequently. And plentiful water. Wondering what the heck was going on as it was so sudden, like an argument out of the blue. Since then, my health took a downslide, and I felt very hot and then chills. Thinking it was a fever, I took some alternative health food shop capsules for fever. It went on and on. Feeling nauseated a lot. And again throwing up the other week. And then feeling nauseated a lot more. I began to take some natural hormone balancing capsules a few days ago. With ingredients such as Dong Quai, the womens herb as it is well known for treating womens imbalances. Many other ingredients are in these capsules from a health Pharmacy in Sydney, Newtons.

I highly recommend visiting it, as my symptoms of nausea have gone. It seems I am going through a training program of experiencing health issues and of how to treat them. But why should this happen when I believe the way to treat clients is individually and that my experience with healing is really only sympathetic, or empathic if I have never had any symptoms before or any of the biggies like cancer, or HIV positivity.

It must be my low immunity. Since childhood. It must be the fact I had glandular fever when I was 12. It must be the way I was eating food for so long with so little nutritional awareness and how it links to health. It must be my detoxification, that began with using black Chinese herbal detoxification pills, changing my diet to vegan for over a year from 2007 to 2009. Avoiding acidity causing food and water. Drinking as much filtered/ spring/alkaline water as possible. Yoga. Massage. And doing all those other detoxification things that cause things to be expelled from the body, somehow. Why can't my body just detox in a way that is focused and part of my daily elimination?!

Life is not childhood lemonade, sweets and bubble gum, pressure cooked vegies limp with little to desire, fast food, tinned beans and grated cheese on wholemeal toast anymore! Life is succulent fresh fruit, soaked chickpeas bought at the food co-op, vegetables that may be raw, seeds, nuts, awareness of what is in different natural foods, like magnesium in sesame seeds, wheat free and dairy free because I am intolerant and it causes trouble with my sinus and my gut, raw cacao powder on a raw chilli, litres of herbal teas, and filtered water. That, is what life is! Yeah! And isn't it doing wonders, hmm, can't really tell, must be still buried under this bad diet glug. It is so expensive! To be organic and wheat free, dairy free, healthy. To detox from the cardboard diet.

I only hope my children to be are given good food and imagine them often, being fit, doing martial training and yoga since they are able to, that is my plan to create those wonder warriors who most other people compare themselves to and think somewhere within, I have not got a chance of going back and trying to be as fit or flexible or healthy! And that is also what I recognise to be my grief for that in myself. So I mustn't wallow in it and do the best I can. I am only 31. I have time to repair. Time to improve.

Introduction and some topics I will cover

Hi. I am Samantha Aungle.

Over the years I have been on a healing journey, and still am. I am 31, Australian, and began to be aware of natural and alternative therapies when I first saw the sign for an acupuncture clinic when I was a child. I began to learn meditation on the energetic level when I was about 14. I have had chronic illnesses since I was young. And I am overcoming them! Naturally and permanently shifting energies and physical states.

Practising Reiki as a Master since 2006. Healing animals intuitively and energetically since about 2003. Have worked with animals and volunteered with RSPCA since I was 17 in the late 1990's.

The articles and areas I want to cover are animal natural health, human natural health, diet, lifestyle, ecological balance, creative expression, and animal rights. I will go into stories about the mysterious healing power of reiki, writing some of my experience as a Reiki Master undergoing intense change and healing.

I will tell people of how I changed my diet and lifestyle and took upon myself ethical and spiritual beliefs that helped me to continue to find that seemingly unreachable mighty life of health that is good and pure. Not entirely pure, as that would not be true of this world or of how I have not yet reached health all the time.

I plan to soon commence studies in holistic animal health. Focussing mostly in that course on homeopathic treatment. It is fascinating how a puppy can benefit from proper dental care and support in healthy teeth by using a course of homeopathic supplements. I want to make sure I know it well enough before I begin and am clear on the way I want to treat an animal, as it can vary especially in those who swear by certain methods or brands or types of theory and ideology to follow.

Homeopathy can be about treating the physical manifestations in the body that cause disturbance. Some homeopaths can be only about treating with one remedy for an ailment or ailments. I already realise that I want to, mostly, be using more than one remedy as I understand it is good to balance remedies. If I were to give only arsenic for example, I would think it would be too drying on the system, same for sulphur. Even if the symptoms are of wetness in the body, I would want to ensure the lovely harmony of remedies is used.

And how do I view the energic forms of heat and dryness, damp, cold, etc? How do I have that as a clear ideology established about my homeopathy practice with the western and the eastern perspectives on energic manifestation and attribution? I find the energy wisdom of eastern medicine to be of excellent sense.

Another animal healing path I would like to persue is Equine Acupuncture. I know in Australia there are at least 2 courses that run. It is quite costly, and I will have to have some more financial and also physical strength before I go into equine acupuncture. So I can go riding! I love horse power and the natural way to be taken quickly to somewhere else. With nature's power and ways.

So with nature I think you all may find your individual paths and walk them with strength and hope.
