This post is written by me, Melinda. It’s not channeled. I just wanted to share an experience I had with Mary Magdalene last week.
I had a really bad cold and cough. It’s the one that is just making the rounds right now. I was doing my meditation and Mary Magdalene, my spirit guide, started chiding me.
She asked me, “How come you listen to me about spiritual stuff and advice about your career and relationships but you never ask me for advice that concerns your body?”
“Wow,” I said to myself. “I’m not sure. I know you give great advice to others who ask for information about their health and you recommend all these great herbs that I’ve never heard of. I don’t know why. OK–I’ll start now. What can I do to help alleviate this cough?”
Healing with tea...
“Go the nearest health food store like Henry’s and buy Licorice Root Tea. Take it several times a day. It will help heal other things for you besides your cough.”
I said, “OK. I’ll do that.”
First things first, I know nothing about herbs. I mean nothing. So, the first thing I did was Google “licorice root tea” to see what medicinal purposes it had. I was amazed! Here is what is said at http://coffeetea.about.com/od/herbaltea/p/licorice.htm:
Health Benefits of Licorice:
- Relieves coughs and sore throats
- Improves digestion
- Eases menstrual cramps
- Believes to increase libido
- Reduces seasonal allergies and congestion
I was impressed. I really shouldn’t be because I’ve done this before when Mary Magdalene has given other people herbs to ease their health conditions and been completely right on. But somehow, this was different because it was me. I felt a bit like a fool for even doubting that it would be perfect. Not only was Licorice Root Tea good for coughs and sore throats, but it also helped my digestion and congestion. It couldn’t have been a better fit for me.
I procrastinated on going to the store and waited a whole 24 hours so I ended up coughing a lot and was awake for several hours that night. Mary Magdalene chided me again to get the tea. So, next day, I show up at Henry’s looking for this tea. I’m not sure what I’m looking for. Is it a tincture or dropper thing of licorice root or pills that I put in a tea? I started asking to be guided at the store to what I needed. I found a dropper thing of licorice root and picked that up but was then guided down another aisle. Oh, look, the tea aisle. Sure enough, right there on the shelf is a box of Licorice Root Tea in tea packets ready to use. Wow! That is sooooo cool, I thought to myself. I didn’t know it actually came in packets.
To make a long story short, not only did the tea really help my cough disappear but it tasted really good too. My cough was gone within a day or two. I have to thank Mary Magdalene for this suggestion. She was right on. I’m thinking about asking her for suggestions on losing weight next but I have to make sure I’m ready to follow it up with action or she’ll get on me again. ;>)
In love and light,
Melinda
