| Heart Tea Cup |
In her eyes, was yearning.... She was confused. She was spent. Her pain rating wasn't high, no nausea, but her fatigue rating was the highest possible... and I understand how that could be after a month in the hospital. She was hooked up to 4 different bags when I went to see her so I'm sure she had more during her stay. She needed strength. She had tears in her eyes when I came in and she saw that she was going to get her Reiki. Bless her soul!
Her treatment wasn't spectacularly illuminating. I reminded her it would be exactly what she needed today. And I reminded her that her only job was to receive. :) She did immediately... I had both hands on her head (gloved and robed because she was in ICU). She received like a champ... she had lots of purples and greens and even a 3D animal at her feet...which looked like an antelope crossed with a snake. A puma leaping also came across at her right knee.
The most notable part of the treatment to me was feeling her breathing. Even when I was at her head and her feet, I could feel her breathing in my hands. I noticed because I was trying to calm down her breathing to match mine. I use my breath to keep me centered.
When I left, she was sleeping. She didn't move when I brought my hands together and closed the treatment. She didn't move when I removed my gloves and robe. She was basking in the warmth.
Many times I tell patients that I hope I never see them again. This is something said in love because I don't want to see them in the hospital any more. For my Patient Patient I truly don't want to see her again. My intention for her from the beginning was that she regain strength to return home. Hopefully I did my job. :)
