More energy work right now, yay or nay?

[BlueIris]

Okay, so here's what it is: the energy work I've been getting (a hepped up version of Reiki) has taken a surprise twist. As in, it brought up some early childhood...stuff. And not good stuff. I'm feeling pretty wrecked, and don't know if I should continue working on this at the moment.

But here's the thing--before I had a longer session the other day, the twenty minute sessions I did enjoy had really helped with some bad headaches I've been experiencing which were not due to either migraines or current stress (yes, dr. consulted.) So, I'm tempted to get at least one more session in order to try to gain additional improvement in that area (it is not fun waking up every morning with screaming headaches.)

Plus, and this is kind of petty...I have four days left on my Saturn/Pluto conjunction. I believe this healing work was meant to be a part of this transit and don't want to give up the last of its potential.

Yet--wrecked. Thoroughly creeped out in every way.

What are you all "picking up"? Would more energy work be appropriate for me at this time, or is it time to be done with it? All responses will be considered, but I hope you'll understand I don't want to go into details about what the energy work "turned up." That's kind of why I want to quit for the moment; I'm more than a little concerned about what else I'll find.

1. It is kind of hard to know

So I voted for the middle option. :)

There can definitely be a healing crisis of sorts with energy work. But it shouldn't last over about three days. There is no point to bringing up old crap unless there is some emotional healing that takes place. Really that is my objection to psychologists. You can talk and talk about an issue and it still bothers you the same way it did before all the chit chat. What a waste.

So, I would be interested to know if your muscle response testing was weak to these events before the session (sounds like a definite yes) and whether it changed to a strong response after the session. You can still have a healing type crisis of that happens, and they say this can all be like peeling the onion, so even if you mrt strong afterwords, there could be something else looming under it bothering you. You said you didn't want to use your pendulum, but I would!

I have to say that even awesome and talented reiki type people can have bad days, too. My daughter goes to one and just gets great results. Well, lo and behold she called me after one session and was feeling terrible. I checked her by distance and her chakras, meridians, and everything were seriously OFF!! I wonder where all that negative energy came from? Anyway, all that is why I like to rely on muscle testing (and/or pendulum).

2. I really can't get into the details online.

The problem goes beyond what could be addressed via muscle testing to an event or series of events, though. I believe that's why other healers didn't pick up on it, or maybe didn't disclose what they were "getting"--it's beyond what they normally "deal with" on an energetic level.

You raise a valid point, re: whether or not any healing can be gained from more energy work. This is my problem. What's the point in going through another session and the weirdness it left me with if the physical issue I've been trying to resolve (headaches) doesn't get any better or gets worse? This is my sole objective at this point, making the headaches better.

3. this is just one of my weirder suggestions, ok?

I can't really say that I have any expectations of whether this will work or not. I have been mulling this one over for awhile but haven't done anything about it.

Supposedly chiropractic adjustments can be given by distance. That isn't so surprising. I actually don't like going to chiropractors for the most part. I did go to a good one that moved. Another one didn't help me and now I just kind of leave the issue alone. Although you might need a neck adjustment, I would never recommend that for anyone, since I won't even get one myself. Still, I realize they can be helpful.

Here is how to *try* giving yourself a chiropractic adjustment by distance. Do a search on YouTube for neck adjustments. Use your pendulum to figure out which video to watch. Then confirm that you actually need that particular adjustment after you watch it.

Then, get the EFT Boost video I posted on YouTube in another window and put them side by side. Play the adjustment over and over while you watch the EFT Boost video and repeat an EFT type affirmation: "Even though I need this neck adjustment, and I wake up with headaches, I wholly and completely accept myself, and love myself, and accept the energy of this neck adjustment, for my whole best interest, with the intention of clearing all energy, emotional and otherwise, that is needed." (or something like that). Do it a few times and then recheck the adjustment with the pendulum to make sure it took.

I know it sounds preposterous. I have had to move my rational mind to a back burner, though, to do this type of work, and it can pay off. This can't hurt you and it might just work. Here is the EFT Boost

4. Thanks.

I might try that.

6. you can also use EFT on your own for

the emotional issues that were uncovered by the session. That way you can address it when you feel up to it. It could take a few sessions on your own to get past it, but you definitely can do it. Just think of a good affirmation and watch the EFT Boost, or just do EFT on your own.

Good luck!

5. Hey BI

be kind to yourself. Give yourself the time it takes to heal. Nurture yourself now as you would a good friend who's had the same traumatic trouble. You will have time to work thru the rest of whatever is troubling you when you are ready for that next step.

7. My vote ..

I voted #1, although it could just as easily be #3.

I think you're right about finishing during the transit.

I get that if you don't pursue further, it might turn out as something akin to censoring yourself, allowing some other 'authority' (taboo) (outside yourself) to be in charge of what happens to you. Likewise, it feels to me like the lesson your soul is writing has to do with your larger purpose in the world. This is true all the time, btw. When we grow, we facilitate more growth activity throughout the cosmos. I feel that is especially true for you here. So, if you go ahead again, it might not be 'easy'. Do you really need 'easy'? Or will something else do?

8. It's so important for us to clear old emotional stuff,

especially now. I've been getting the message for months that we need to "travel light", meaning clear as much emotional gunk as you possibly can. It wouldn't have come up if it didn't need to "leave". Once you've processed it, it's gone. Just allow it, move through the stages (as much as that sucks!) and then let it go. It won't last long and you'll feel much better for it. We're processing things so much faster now. I know it's easy to think that if it's buried and it wasn't something that bothered you, then why bother dealing with it (I've had this argument with myself many times)...but regardless of whether we know something is there, or have blocked it completely out of our psyche, or don't think it's an issue that pertains to our life presently, it's still there, and it still affects us and weighs us down. You can do it B.I.!:pals:

9. Your post reminds me ..

It isn't always possible to get to those Growth Opportunities. They present themselves as they will. Sometimes after a long
stagnant period, I long for the discovery and ability to grow again. It doesn't always feel pretty. Later down the trail we
find ourselves fortunate to have given our strength to the challenge.

10. I am really struggling with this one.

I think I will try to get the lady to do one more short session and then take a break. I don't love these headaches, but I just can't take the idea of more shock or weirdness right now.

:cry:

[BlueIris]

11. Okay, I made another apointment for a short session.

Tomorrow. After which, I will be taking a break for a couple of months.

12. I hope it goes well

Could your headaches be due to some other cause? Sinus? Diet? Some people with chronic headaches have a kind of low grade fungal/candida issues. I am not sure why I am mentioning this other than this has been popping up lately with people around me. I find myself recommending a book that I haven't even read. (The Body Ecology Diet). Anyway, I have all this on my mind. I have a friend who had frequent sinus infections, which was the key to figuring out her issue. Most sinus infections are fungal. Again, I have no reason for bringing this up other than the fact that I all of a sudden have been confronted with lots of people with these issues. Perhaps you could ask your pendulum the cause of your headaches. You could write a bunch of different possible headaches causes on a piece of paper (emotional, fungal/virus, orthopedic, lack of oxygen, etc.). When you get a cause, you could look for possible solutions (energy work, diet, etc. etc.)

Honestly my friend does more energy work and than I, does muscle testing more and better, and she didn't figure out her issues until I guided her through it, but she did the testing. She has had amazing physical results with The Body Ecology Diet. She was well on her way to out of control Type 2 diabetes, but the diet addressed that completely plus numerous other physical issues that she had. She has tons of emotional junk in her background too. But, it was the change in diet that addressed all of her problems.

I have no reason to believe that is your issue, but I am just asking that you be open to all possible causes for your headaches, and I believe that you can find out with your pendulum. If hurtful emotions from the past DO turn out to be the cause, you could write down different possible solutions, eg, the energy worker you have found, EFT, meditation, whatever.

I would be most likely to look to body work like cranial sacral therapy, or acupuncture. Those can actually address both emotional and physical issues. The great thing about body work is that the emotional issues are addressed in a back door way. Deep breathing exercises are a possibility too. Shallow breathing can be an issue with headaches.

I do believe that your subconscious knows the best path for you, and that you can test it and figure it out. There are tons of effective headache causes and remedies, and what works for one person doesn't work for everyone.

Also, note that the difference between our conscious and subconscious mind is pretty interesting. Even though you may feel hurt and upset by emotions that come up, if you can process this hurt and emotion without blocking chi in some channel in your body, then the emotional hurt doesn't cause you the physical symptoms. However, that does not mean that you won't experience painful emotions. Does this make sense? The interesting thing though, is that experiencing these emotions may uncover something different as well as the precipitating event. That is why people talk about energy work as "peeling an onion."
