Don’t Believe Everything They Say

After two weeks with this bad cold/flu.  I started burning my periferal nerve and my dantien again, only this time, I was more sane.  I figured out to burn the size of my pinky finger (not the size of my thumb), which actually was the advice of Dr. Baek.  And though it did hurt, it was tolerable.  Was it that I had to go through one and a half months overdoing it so that it now is a piece of cake?  Maybe.  Does it matter?  No.

I used to lose my scab over the dantien daily.  To start burning the next day, I had to create ashes from burning moxa to cover up the open wound.  The trouble was, within the ashes there seemed to be some unburned moxa and when I burned the next pyramid, it sizzled into the ashes.  I never shared how burning so big on the dantien, with the daily open wound killed my intimacy life.  I was raw and needed time to heal, which I never did.

What I’ve now figured out is that when I keep the scab, intimacy before burning works very well.  Hooray!  I can do it now every day, all 5 points (9 piles each) take me half an hour, and I can listen to some meditative music and meditate myself while I do it.  I really appreciate that half hour.  Its like coming home.

Can you believe it?  Two MS patients recently contacted me and were asking for movement therapy.  One of them is traveling a lot, therefore inconsistent wtih the therapy.  The otehr one is coming twice a week, for the last three weeks.  I do with her what I know has helped me.  From working on the chair with a ball between my thighs, to working standing on the wall, pressing my hands on the wall, lifting and lowering my heals, working on the reformer, leg work and leg circles, to neck release on the Functional Integration table.  It’s hard work!  But I love it.

This week, the lovely consistent lady came with me to see Dr. Neighbors.  She had not read my blog.  When John simply started to burn those five points, she kind of freaked out.  “Will it hurt?  How long does it take?.”  I told her, “Just one breath.”  And she said, “I know how long you breathe in one breath!”  So we both had a chuckle.

John treated her the way he treats me, with the needles in the head, neck and bladder meridians, connecting the brain to the body and the body to the brain.  John said to me, “I want you to do this for her.”  Yes, I had gone to accupuncture classes for one year.  And yes, I have received many brain treatments now.  So I just need to trust myself, that I can replicate this, on someone else.

I simply feel good, to help others with MS.  I don’t feel like I know more than they do about the lack of feelings in their legs.  I’ve tried many different avenues, just like they have.  We went for a second accupuncture treatment today so I could write down the path of the needles.  I had taken moxa, insence and lighter with me to burn on her.  She looked at me and said, “I told my mom that I’m doing this.  And I told her that when I got burned, I felt it!  It’s pretty amazing.”

When I opened my email this evening, I had an email from a friend in New York, telling me that her 32 year old sister just got diagnosed with MS and they both are very distraught.  She was asking for listening and talking. I’m honored.  Now I say, love creates me in my perfection.  May this be the same for you.
