I went to a shamanic healer this morning because I have been experiencing this PSYCHO-Somatic Pain in my Mid to Upper Back for the past 10 years? (May-be Longer....
He offered a Unique Insight into WHAT might be the Cause of MY Pain.... He Worked on ME with Focused Concentration and Attention.... He explored with me what might be the Source of my Pain and Attempted to Alleviate my Distress:
You SEE: We Talked about The Pain.
He offered some Ideas and some Suggestions as to WHY I was Experiencing what it was that I was experiencing/Experiencing. Some of what he said to me seemed to ring True and other aspects of his explanation didn't seem in Concert with my Own Beliefs. I listened to Everything that he said, aware that I wasn't Paying Close Attention to Absolutely Everything... I just took in the "gist" of what he had to say... I took His Words into my body and processed their meaning through my cells....
My Pain did not Go Away.
HOWEVER, I did KNOW that he had MY Best Interests At Heart as he addressed my Pain... with some bodywork, Stone placement, Drumming and Placing of Hands.... The Knowledge of His Best Intentions Travelled through my body Via My Thoughts and My Emotions... I developed a Deep, Visceral Knowing that He Wanted to Help ME... even when My Mind was Debating the Validity of His Intentions, My Body Carried On With Its Own Under-Standing....
It's 9:01 PM in San Francisco, California as I type these words (ok...9:02 at this point...)
Earlier this evening, i had in front of me, a small container of Sea Salt that my partner prepared for me. My healer recommended that I scrub the back of my neck with some sea salt and that that (the Action or the Activity?...) should have an Effect...
When my partner gave me the container, I immediately saw it as a Metaphor for the World.
