A famly friend was over, with her whole family (dog included.)\u00c2\u00a0 Her new sister in law is a Reiki practitioner.\u00c2\u00a0 (I think I mentioned the wedding a few weeks ago)\u00c2\u00a0 So she did some work on me.\u00c2\u00a0 A lot of it was similar to what my massage person has done.\u00c2\u00a0 Certain ways of holding and touching the feet and ankles, holding & rubbing the belly.\u00c2\u00a0 By the time she was done, I was so deeply relaxed I fell asleep for 3 hours.<\/p>\n
I guess the idea is that the chi is blocked and the Reiki helps unblock the chi.\u00c2\u00a0 So it leads to a quickening of the healing process.\u00c2\u00a0 I don’t know whether it was just psychosomatic, but I was very relaxed from it.\u00c2\u00a0 Its hard to say.<\/p>\n
Not so relaxed now, though.\u00c2\u00a0 Sunday night is such an emotionally turbulent time for me.\u00c2\u00a0 Tomorrow I will hopefully start the final week of the treatment.\u00c2\u00a0 I hope I clear the liver test.\u00c2\u00a0 I haven’t taken any Tylenol for two weeks, so that is not a factor.\u00c2\u00a0 I feel pretty good; I mean *right now* I have a pit in my stomach and have been crying off and on, but before I started thinking about the blood tests tomorrow, I was felling pretty good.<\/p>\n
N.B. I noticed that I had a montly archive on the side of the blog.\u00c2\u00a0 It shocked me to realize that I had been here for so long. It has been five weeks, going on the sixth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
