Gnashing of teeth

[undineworker]

Hi all - I feel you guys know me pretty well and I would like to ask some advice. I hope you can help.

I went to the dentist today who told me that the pain I am experiencing in my teeth is due to stress...he says that I wake up in the middle of the night with toothache because (there is nothing wrong with my teeth!) I am gnashing my teeth in my sleep and it is due to stress. It actually is so bad it wakes me up. Now I knew I had pain but not what had caused it...I thought it was medical...its not.

I am told I have to do all I can to reduce my stress, at home and at work, and I have to have a soft diet for a few weeks to save me chewing too much. I am only 42 years old...are all my teeth going to fall out?

I am worried, and that makes me more stressed!!

thanks in advance
love and light

Ah Lizzie-Lou!

Is there something that your saying thats not being heard babe? Think about if people are listening to you hun, (first thing that came to mind, so I maybe wrong) Stress mmmmm Im always stressed babe. My head throbs not painful but it feels like im under water! I try just to breath slowly and after a while it calms down. I also get very tired, like I just wanna curl up somewhere and be peacful for a bit.
There's some good cd's that I have put on the board cd's to help us. There maybe something there to help you!

be god hun, stay strong, God Bless,xxx

Funny you may say this Lizzie, I have noticed that my dog nashes her teeth when someone is lying to me. I wasnt sure at first but I started adding things up and now I have noticed that this is true if she grinds her teeth, her best friend Leon is being lied to. She's so clever she just wants to help me out. Maybe theres a moral in this for you Lizzie.

Hello my friend Lizzie

Maybe it's some sort of situation where you feel that you don't have too much say in the matter. (Teeth, mouth, communication). Sometimes we feel as though we're going along for the ride...like it or not. I'm thinking, your workplace maybe ? Are you free to express yourself as you wish with your co-workers ? Are they understanding or condescending ? Are you comfortable at your workplace ? How are you being treated ? I'm not sure, but that's what I'm feeling about your situation. I feel that you're extremely generous. Maybe some people try to take advantage of that. Please remember that you are free, always and forever. Life is about being HAPPY, period. You are always free to choose what you feel is best for you. NEVER accept anything less. Nobody can ever Love you more than you can Love yourself........

Don't worry, you won't lose your teeth. You've already started talking about it..... the stress will subside......you'll see

Stress free Hugs, and lots of them

my dear friends, what can I say? I am humbled and overwhelmed by your responses...and I will be honest, this never occurred to me, at all! I remember Kelly said something in her energy health reading to me about my throat chakra, something which really struck a chord, and that was that "was someone loading me up like a gun so I could fire the bullets, not them" - wow, that is so spot on...the girl I work with has so many issues, but let me tell you a little story.

She took her mother to hospital on Friday just past, and I think I mentioned that her mother has breast cancer...well, she ended up spending the whole day at the hospital with her mother, as they told her she needs a masectomy (to have the breast removed) as well as the lymph glands removed...she is 83 years old, has high blood pressure, arthritis in her hands, so bad she can hardly move them sometimes, and arthritis in her legs so bad she can hardly walk sometimes...apart from that she suffers from acid reflux...now the tests were to see if she was fit enough for the operation...the results were she has to hang fire awhile yet...the result of this is that the pressure has been piled on top of me (we are the only two people in the office, so we rely on each other, for better or for worse as it were!) to always be there for her, whilst she is going through this really difficult period.....please, please, dont misunderstand, I am always there for her, and always will be, despite our obvious differences, and the fact that we have nothing in common at all (she has a dog, I have a cat, she is single, I am married, she has never had a boyfriend, I cycle, she drives, she lives in the country, I live in the town, she is an only child, I am from a big family...the list goes on). It means, actually, that it has taken us a lot of years to even come to any kind of rubbing-along kinda relationship, and it also means that just when it seemed this might have been happening and we might become some kind of friends, her mother is going to die. To put it bluntly, I feel this very strongly. I have been in communication with her father, who passed on years ago, and he is waiting for her to come to him. I cant tell her this, although I have told her about being in touch with her father...she is not very spiritual, but was fascinated when I told her about this, and I am under the impression that I am in this job at all, because I have to learn to be humble, bury my ego completely, and bring her to a spiritual path. Is that presumptuous of me? I just feel it really strongly.

I think my point is (eventually! - sorry for going on but wanted to give you the full picture!) that I have spent so long biting my tongue with regards to backing down in arguments, repelling her constant negativity, and trying to defend myself from her awful tempers (she is like a dragon when roused, she uncoils and breathes flame!) and the negativity which I have to deal with is incredible...this existed long before she found about her mother's cancer....she is just the kind of person who has never had siblings, and is completely wrapped up in herself, and has lived her own life her own way with no thought of anyone else. I feel compassion for her and am learning that it is almost wasted on her! I wonder if anyone can understand what I am saying here.................please forgive me................I just felt I had to unburden myself.......thank you so very much for listening.

Love and Light (sob)

Dearest Lizzie,

You do make me smile sweetheart, I don't suppose for a minute this poor women realizes how lucky she is to have you there with her. Every working day, giving her support and caring when many, many, would have given up years ago..lol If god gave gold stars for sticking with it, you would have hundreds. ..

You know what you know, she isn't ready to think about her mothers passing, I guess being the only child, she must be absolutely terrified of losing her. All you can do, is just what you are doing and be that listening ear for her. She obviously holds you in high regard, and probably cares more for you then you realize. Being in such close proximity to such a err mm how shall I say, unusual (mental images here of fire breathing dragons) and challenging on the nerves women, would make me grind my teeth down to tiny stumps. So congratulations my love that you still have yours, although they are feeling sore. NO ONE and I mean NO ONE would stress me out so much that I risked losing my gnashers. Sooo..you have to take a step back. Not physically, cos you can't. Working together and all, but Mentally. Detach, you have emotionally attached yourself to her, and you are probably picking up all of her angst as much as the sheer stress of having to cope every day with someone who is so worried and anxious.
I am sure Kelly can give you some really good tips on how to do this. You can still be loving and caring without being so emotionally involved.

How old is she by the way, any where near retirement age!!!!!! One can always live in hope..lol

Bye the way, frustration makes me grind my teeth... I have these imaginary conversations in my dreams...you know the sort, where you think of loads of witty things to say and win the argument rather then make an idiot of yourself when the argument really took place earlier that day!!

Lots of love
Karen

my dear Karen,

thank you sweety-pie - you are very kind, and also very wise.....you always know how to hit the nail on the head....I agree about stepping back, and what you say about her caring about me more than I realise, was brought home to me today when I had an enormous row with hubby and she was so consoling and understanding "men!!" she said, and what could I do but buy her and I a big cake and pig out! lol.

I think things are coming to a head, there feels as if there is a volcano about to erupt inside me at the moment, and there were small eruptions at lunchtime, pretty bad, but nothing compared to what is to come...something's gotta give, girl!

Kelly? any ideas how I can step back mentally?

Love and Light and more light and love to you all for your support
Lizzie xx
please ask if I can return the favour in any way shape or form!

[angelight]

Hi Lizzie....and all xx

You asked for ideas about stepping back mentally, but what immediately came to the front of my mind was removing negative attatchments to your aura (as i mentioned in reading....so sorry for repeating self....lol....must sound like a broken record!)

I really think this lady has made attatchments to your energy....who wouldn't? Its lovely energy!! I think she is depending on you too much though, whether she realises this or not.

My advice would be to continue to wear your new protection and get them plugs pulled out girl!! (see energy health reading, lol).

Also, I would ask guidance for help with this. Have a chat with them and God telling them you're happy to be there for this lady but you are not prepared to let it knock you out of balance. Once you have had the chat, I bet you will notice changes in the way you feel and deal with it. (But definately pull the plugs out of your aura, wear protection and keep self grounded.....get them roots sprouting!)

Hope that helps lovey,

Kel xx

thanks so much for that my friend kelly! you always know the right thing to say

It's all done out of love Lizzie!!!

take care sweetheart,

thanks for all your help, all...the gnashing seems to have resolved itself...mostly, I have to say, since I began performing soul rescues...I seem to have done about 5 of these now, and it is always a very peaceful process. It seems that, with Kelly's help, she has taught me to put on very strong protection, remove negative attachments from my aura, and become grounded solidly before I start anything...even my day! Also, I always ask for help from my highest protectors and spirit guide....I really feel the help they give me...it is strong, powerful and palpable when I am meditating.

This seems to have resolved my gnashing...my teeth give me the odd twinge now and again, but nothing compared to what they were....I have also just had a long weekend off work which has helped me to retune into my family and home life, be peaceful and relax and throw off the shackles of work and stress. Let's hope I can retain this peace and relaxation when I go back to work today. Its all about perspective, I think!

Love and Light and many thanks again

Hi Everyone.

This has reminded me of a habit I have. I tend to bite the inside of my mouth, sometimes until it really hurts, any ideas?xxxxxxx

[angelight]

Not that i can think of, but i actually used to do that!! Dont think i do it now though.

Just had the thoughts 'chewing things over' and 'chewing the fat'. I wonder if it happens mainly when you have something on your mind, when you are thinking about an issue or a problem you would like to solve.

Just a thought.
