Into the Hospital, Through the Eye of the Needle
Hey folks…I’m about to check into the hospital (this Tuesday) for at least a week to undergo an experimental intravenous treatment. We hope to halt (and start reversing) the process by which my central nervous system has slowly and painfully crippled me over the past number of years.
I’ve seen incredible acts of love and kindness take place through the internet. As an insatiably curious person, a student of psychophysiology and firm believer in the principles of quantum nonlocality, it is my opinion that our thoughts and energy do indeed affect physical matter.
Hospitals can be grim, tragic places, filled with hopelessness and protective stoicism. As I know from experience, that environment can knock the spark right out of the bravest among us. But I plan to embark on this treatment with nothing less than total positivity.
I humbly ask for a small quantum favor. Please take a moment to concentrate some good energy on the greatest possible outcome in the days to follow. This can come in any form you feel comfortable with: a wish, a phrase, a vision of health, a prayer to a particular God, or to the universe. I ask for a moment of your grace to help me through the eye of the needle so I may emerge a renewed inhabitant of a body that has done its best to destroy me.
The power of intention can work in wondrous ways. Who knows? Your mere moments of kindness may help save a life…a life I will spend paying it forward with my whole heart as a healer, empath and artist.
If you choose to take part in this little energy exchange, feel free to leave a comment and let me know so I can actively send my gratitude. Or do so anonymously, forward or post this somewhere…it’s all good! Oh, and if you’d like to pick a color below, I’m going to put a string on my wrist for each person who agrees to send me some positivity during this journey next week…something I can look at as a tangible reminder.
I have daily automated posts ready for my absence, so please keep visiting!
Many more adventures, arts and oddities await us, my friends! Through the eye of the needle I go…

August 23, 2013 at 5:16 pm
Ah, my favorite color. 😉 Thank you!
August 23, 2013 at 4:21 pm
Dana, you’ll be in my thoughts all week. I’ll definitely be sending some positive vibes your way. Btw, I love the purple string between the pink and the blue! 😉 That’s my color. Wishing you a wonderfully, amazing recovery!
August 23, 2013 at 5:15 pm
Purple it is! Thank you for your continued support as a reader and fellow lover of dark and beautiful things. 🙂
August 23, 2013 at 5:54 pm
I’m all about the black but when sending healing energy its always blue so better go that route to be safe. 😮 ) Sending healing vibes and will hold you in my heart and thoughts. Love and Light.
August 23, 2013 at 6:38 pm
Blue string attached! Thank you!
August 23, 2013 at 6:26 pm
Just use the whole darn rainbow – the whole spectrum is required to restore your balance in all matters soul-related. I created a large colour wheel mandala and it hangs in my stairwell. Every time I walk past it, I will think of you and send more healing thoughts!
August 23, 2013 at 6:37 pm
It is becoming a rainbow…so beautiful. Thank you!
August 23, 2013 at 7:25 pm
Sweetheart, I’ve had proof positive that we can affect the physical world with our Intentions – for me there’s absolutely no doubt about it.
Will be thinking of you constantly in the days ahead. House already scented with lavendar, sage and bluegrass, from my garden (so you can probably tell I’m a Blue girl at heart…? 😉 )
Truckloads of positive vibes heading your way too (Better duck m’dear, cos I don’t mess about! 😉 )
Love, Neta
August 24, 2013 at 2:15 am
Gratefully attaching a blue string. Thank you for the beautiful thoughts and energy. xoxo
August 23, 2013 at 11:25 pm
I think the that the green fourth from the left (the lighter, brighter green) is especially pretty. But if you could put three together for me I would have to go red (my favorite color generally), black & white. I will send as much positive energy as I can your way (not sure what color it really is (I agree with the blue above, but somehow I also see warmth emanating, so perhaps its flame (bluegreenredorangeyellowwhitemirage wrapped in heavy protective penetrating dark — best description of what I can sense); and I shall pray for you.
August 24, 2013 at 2:17 am
That’s my favorite color trio too! Think I’ll go with the green for you though, b/c it was your first instinct. Thank you!
August 23, 2013 at 11:47 pm
I send you the full moon rising through the dark tree branches, with the sound of a thousand happy frogs in the swamp.
And I’ll be the dark pink.
August 24, 2013 at 2:16 am
A breathtaking image. Dark pink it is. Thank you!
August 24, 2013 at 2:52 am
Thoughts and hope to you. Green and orange.
August 24, 2013 at 3:53 pm
Sure thing!
August 24, 2013 at 5:56 am
Thinking of you daily with love and good juju for your recovery back to optimal health – turquoise, please for self healing and self love…
August 24, 2013 at 3:54 pm
Thank you!
August 24, 2013 at 11:43 am
I’ll be thinking of you from Tuesday on, until I hear the news that you’ve become a beautiful phoenix risen from your current ashes. The color that has always been the most healing for me is a good old rosy pink.
August 24, 2013 at 3:55 pm
Aw, thanks R! Pink it is!
August 24, 2013 at 2:53 pm
My thoughts are certainly with you.
Light blue I think!
August 24, 2013 at 2:57 pm
Like clear blue water (swirling with amazing, bizarre creatures beneath). Perfect! 🙂
August 24, 2013 at 3:29 pm
I am definitely thinking about you and sending you all of my good, positive thoughts! You are so strong, I hope for only the best with this new round of treatment. I’m picking orange, because it’s bright, vibrant and full of energy.
August 24, 2013 at 3:54 pm
You seem like a wonderful, vibrant person…very fitting! Thank you!
August 24, 2013 at 5:56 pm
My money is on you, Dana! Bright Pink for me!!!
August 24, 2013 at 5:58 pm
Bright pink is on for you!
August 24, 2013 at 6:02 pm
I am praying to a very special Guardian Angel named Barbara, who I am sure is already watching over you like a hawk! Feel better Sweetie, the world needs you!!!!!
August 25, 2013 at 2:50 am
Thank you, Karen. Lots of love!
August 24, 2013 at 7:39 pm
I will be thinking super loud positive thoughts for you, because after all this fighting, you just plain deserve to be healthy! I give you mad props for just hanging in as long as you have. Psychic hugs network!
August 25, 2013 at 2:50 am
Thanks, J-Ro! 🙂
August 24, 2013 at 8:32 pm
Just sent a prayer and vision of healing for you, Dana. Please add a violet/magenta string for my energy adding to the others. Hoping all goes well and you’re up and at ’em again soon soon soon.
August 25, 2013 at 2:48 am
Gorgeous magenta to represent a gorgeous spirit. Thank you, Jayeesha.
August 24, 2013 at 9:58 pm
Sending prayers and positive, healing vibes. Turquoise for you, my beautiful niece, like the peace the ocean brings. We miss you! Hugs and kisses!
August 25, 2013 at 2:49 am
You got it! Thanks! XOXOXO
August 25, 2013 at 4:42 am
Love you!,,
August 25, 2013 at 5:37 am
There is more love for you in this universe than you will ever get to experience in a thousand lifetimes. You know my stance, and colours. You shall make it through this. Love you!!!
August 25, 2013 at 3:51 pm
VL! 😉
August 25, 2013 at 2:06 pm
Happy to see all the good thoughts and love coming your way. Always include me in them! Thinking of you always and often. Love your images, words, and spirit. Keep positive as I know you are. You deserve all the healing in the world. You know what else has all the colors of the rainbow? A bag of Skittles. 😉
August 25, 2013 at 3:49 pm
Aw, love you, J! xoxo
August 25, 2013 at 8:57 pm
I don’t comment often, but I look at your blog posts every day. You and I think a lot alike, and it disturbs me to know you are having such a horrible time with your condition. I hope everything goes well with you, and I’ll be sending positive, healing vibes your way. Good luck!
August 26, 2013 at 7:16 pm
Thank you, Sara.
August 25, 2013 at 10:35 pm
Requests for healing have been made! Sending good thoughts for strength and energy during your recovery.
May you continue to shine on…yellow to represent that.
August 26, 2013 at 7:16 pm
Thank you! Yellow…

August 26, 2013 at 5:44 pm
I will be thinking of you and praying for you, as I often do, but even more so now. I will send positive vibes your way and be kind to everyone I see in hopes that my positive energy and kindness will bring some good karma your way. I know you will make it through this because you have too much to share with us still.
Love,
Kelly
P.S. I’d like to be a dark green strand 🙂
August 26, 2013 at 7:15 pm
Thanks, Kelly! You are so sweet. Dark green it is.
September 12, 2013 at 12:24 am
I really hope that you get well soon. I’ll be sending you “warm fuzzies” whenever I get the chance. I’ll be keeping my fingers crossed for your speedy recovery. Also, if you ever need something funny and entertaining to take your mind off of things, I think the podcast ‘Welcome to Night Vale” would strike your fancy quite a bit.
Sincerely, an anonymous fan who enjoys the color pink
