Hi @Chava. Lots of good info here. Acupuncture saved my life after my chemical injury. My PTSD really took off after that and one session I had a massive flashback. She calmly and quickly recognized what was happening and placed a needle in my third eye. It calmed me immediately. Even now I'll rub a Tiger Balm into my third eye for relaxation. All she said to me at that point was "who did this to you"? Well, my immediate response was the hospital that poisoned me and she replied "no, when you were little". She was very perceptive and I made a conscious choice to open completely to her healing practice. I took the herbs she gave me and never googled them. I just wanted to take a leap of faith and it paid off big time. In general, some things changed quickly, and others over time. It's very gentle, peaceful and effective.
I was transfixed by her diagnostic tools. Like we have five pulses and the condition of the tongue is very important. Our eyes are revealing and there is this test she did with glass globes. She'd heat one and place it on my spine. There were four or five down the length of my spine. The heat caused a vacuum to firm and the globes stuck to my back. After awhile she removed them and the color of my skin was revealing. This technique detoxes me at the same time.
I was never afraid and I was very sick from my chemical injury. After two weeks on the herbs, I started to secrete thick yellow smelly fluid from my skin. This did not alarm me. I was expecting to detox. I had previously been too sick to eat, I was skin and bone. I couldn't breathe and my lungs were filled with toxins. After two months of the herbs along with needle sessions, I was eating normally and my lungs were clear.
I was so amazed, I took my daughter to her for help with her menses. She had horrific pelvic pain during her menses. Within two cycles, she was cured. That was 15 years ago and she never had any more pain. She explained to me that my daughters problem was caused by compression of the umbilical cord while I was pregnant.
As for Reiki, it is also very gentle. I usually get tingling in my extremities as she's ridding me of negative energy. It has awakened my body that had been numb since childhood. That was alarming. I think I asked the forum for help with that because that was the beginning of my body memories. I was pretty freaked out for a long time. Trying to trust the process was difficult because I was boomeranged back to being raped and was feeling it all over again. But now I understand that it was healing pain. She has pulled all sorts of "murky and muddy" energy out through my groin. My root chakra and my throat chakra are still not spinning. This she attributes to PTSD and being silenced by the threat of death when I was young. It's very gentle and I trust my practitioner fully. She also places crystals over my chakras and purged my house with white sage smoke because there were many evil spirits there.
Listen, I worked in medicine for thirty years. This was a complete and radical change in philosophy but I am fully committed to Eastern thought. Kwan Yin is very important to me as she chose to stay on Earth instead of elevating to Nirvana, in order to help the suffering of people. Yoga was inevitable and it has helped me be less dissociative.
I know it's tempting to stay with the pain we know rather than risk change. It does require courage and trust. For me, I was a dead woman walking. I had nothing left to lose. I was desperate. I still have my compulsions to drink and cut. I still isolate. But I have reclaimed my body and that is incredible. I have headaches and back spasms and a bad knee. I'm not 100%. But I have faith. Acupuncture saved my life.
