I walked in. She asked me if I did yoga. I said I did. She said, 'oh it's YOU! I have been searching for you for weeks! I couldn't find you! You are my angel! I thought you had disappeared! After you treated me last time, I saw tons of angels, but then the angels went away and I didn't think they would ever come back!' I told her angels always come when requested.She told me many things that were going on in her life and cried some. She told me that she missed home. She missed her dog. She needed to get his seizure medications in order so he would be healthy. He was overweight and not looking good. She was sad that she was losing chickens. When she left, she had 40 chickens and now there were only 15 or so and many were males. She thought something was killing them and her boyfriend wasn't taking good enough care of them. Just as she said that she caught herself and said 'Oh I shouldn't be worried about that.' Yet that's what she wanted to tell me, her angel. It's significant for her... caring for her animals.
We started her treatment because we had a hard stop time when the massage therapist was coming back. She asked if it would bother me if she talked. I said she could talk if that's what she wanted. She said I smelled really good. :) (last time she had commented on my perfume so I was sure to wear it again this time) Then she didn't stop talking through the whole treatment. She and I conversed about the thoughts running through her head. She worries and her thoughts take her all over the place. I asked if she tried deep breathing. She said no. She said she knew she needed to do more of that. We talked about self-kindness and self-love. I told her it's a practice. She said she's not good at it.
I told her she has the abilty to heal herself and that God dwells in her. She cried. She knew. She said when they first found the tumor in her leg she did a lot of Reiki on herself and melted the tumor away, but she hasn't been focused on her healing anymore. Her mind is full of thoughts of worry. We talked about observing her thoughts... like sitting on a river bank watching a river flow by. She understood that analogy. That made sense. I told her that she is not her thoughts... she's the being on the river bank... on solid ground.
At one point she asked me what I did for work. I said I worked with computers. She said 'How did an Earth Girl get involved with computers?' :)
At the end, a flood of people entered her room; her nurse, the massage therapist and the rounding young residents. I finished her treatment by telling her some of the things I learned from our time together. I told her that her throat chakra was really pulling energy from my hands and that I wore blue today which corresponds to the throat chakra... I must have known she needed it. I also knew that she needed her voice to be heard so I let her talk through the ttreatment which is something I have never done before. I told her to keep letting her voice be heard. Also I said to use her voice to be grateful to those who are helping her like her sister-in-law who has opened her home to her. And I said to let her voice come from her heart... such a dear heart.
While I was giving her my findings her nurse and the massage therapist where there listening. I could see her nurse watching me and listening very intently. I could tell that she had never heard a 'diagnosis' like this before. She was open. She was interested. I think she'll benefit from hearing that. The massage therapist understood the chakra concepts and she encouraged our patient to use colors to enhance the healing.
And then the flow of residents entered.... and I left with my iPod of hang drum tunes. What a different energy... but we had our moment... her voice speaking to my ear. EE
