I am K awakened and have had fibro for over 15 years. There's nothing like
chronic pain to set a person on a spiritual path. However, telling your
mother that she's in pain because she refuses to experience the bliss of K
is only going to alienate her. She may very well need to experience an
"inner unfolding," but she isn't going to hear that from you if you play
blame the victim with her. She needs your support. She can't see your
paradigm now, so why not do a little research on fibro and see if you can
help her in ways she can accept. That way she'll be a lot more receptive to
what you have to say, and one day she might even be able to hear you.
Here's a start. Fibromyalgia is a very real disease -- a neuro-transmitter
disorder that is no longer just a catchphrase for a syndrome no one could
diagnose. Stress (emotional or physical) aggravates the symptoms or brings
on the initial flare-up, but is NOT the cause. The following web site
(http://www.sover.net/~devstar) is written by Dr. Devin Starlanyl, a
physician who has fibromyalgia along with a neuro-muscular condition called
Chronic Myofascial Pain Syndrome which sometimes co-exists with and
complicates fibro. You might want to start with the article called "A Guide
for Relatives and Supporters." She's also written a couple of books that I
highly recommend.
K doesn't always cure you ... but sometimes it *leads* you to the cure. I
was led to a physician (www.drmirkin.com) who believes fibro (along with
some other pesky diseases) is caused by a mycoplasma infection and treats it
with long-term, relatively benign antibiotics (doxycycline). It improved my
condition dramatically. Tell your mother about it; she needs to know about
the things that might help her. BTW, this approach is also doing wonders for
people with rheumatoid arthritis.
Chronic issues don't always go away as easily as acute ones, but my "inner
unfolding" did give me a more joyful and functional life that constantly
improves ... and it got me to the place where I can accept a miracle for
myself when it presents itself. There have already been quite a few miracles
in my life ... but the fibro has been a particularly stubborn case for me.
But telling me or your mother that we're causing it because we're not open
enough to K doesn't serve us very well. It invokes a feeling of
powerlessness (Goddess knows how long and hard I've been working on this!),
and that unempowered feeling isn't conducive to getting a damned thing
created, especially not radiant health!
Blessings,
Andrea
