Dual treatment sessions today moved me from funkville (my basic state of being yesterday and this morning), to wild exuberance (especially after I had 15 acupuncture needles inserted into old scar tissue in my right hand), to calming stillness interspersed with supported free movements of my feet, leg, hands, arms (spasmodic release of energies and holding patterns while being supported by the practitioner--I know this description makes absolutely no sense--basically I flailed and moved around on the table based on what my body wanted to do--based on involuntary notions the limbs and muscles wanted to make).

The 2nd session integrated the work done in the 1st session, smoothed out the ruffled energies, and brought me into balance. Yeah!

So this concludes the 3rd week of sessions. Will write up a status message tomorrow and broadcast it to the F&F distribution list--and post it here as well.

I'm learning a lot about myself and about how to foster health in my body, mind and spirit. It requires that I be very watchful--of what I eat, think and create around me. I'm learning to pray and the power of prayer. I learning how my attitude affects what I experience. Today, Rebecca shared her White/Black hat metaphor--don't go through life wearing only black hats (judgments, anger, resentment, unreleased pain, being unforgiven, not forgiving, etc.). When I catch myself wearing a black hat, acknowledge what I've been doing and switch to a white hat (being supportive, not judging, being loving, being compassionate, etc.). Simple to say and perhaps not as easy to do in practice.

After talking with the two practitioners today, got the impression that doing another month with a reduced number of weekly sessions is the way to proceed. Eventually, I do it all myself, but before jumping in that canoe it seems appropriate to reduce sessions incrementally.

Of course, this opens the floor to the question of where do I plan to live once this current process is further along. Tonight, I feel like I'm ready to tackle that issue. I left the 2nd session experiencing joy--just as Rebecca and I made plans to end the session in that state. Hmmm! Guess it does work! Think it, say it, pray it, picture it and it will be! Oh, yeah!
