Client who has Lyme Disease
Posted: Mon Oct 15, 2012 2:28 am
Hi All,
I read here regularly but don't post too often.
My post is a bit long and I really appreciate all who take the time to read it. I was hoping someone in the group could help me with another client I have been working with off and on, more on than off though, since July at the acupuncture
clinic where I work in tandem with the acupuncturist.
The client is female, and has had Lyme disease for about a year. She was not bitten by a tick, it was passed by her spouse. She not only has Lyme, but has severe headaches and is
allergic to MANY foods. She eats the same thing until her body will not allow her to eat it any longer as it will give off allergy symptoms. The acupuncturist has given her many acupuncture treatments, herbs, and a diet to follow to know
avail.
Where I need help is when I give her a Reiki treatment, and am in the middle of a treatment - say nearing her tummy area (Solar Plexus) she starts to have headaches at the temple area. So I go back up to crown area and work there until
it subsides and start back at the tummy area again - where I left off. She gets relief 50% of the time.
However, and I cannot find any information on what happens next during the treatment - After I have completed working on her and all her chakras, I am drawn intuitively to put my left palm of my hand on her left ankle area and my right hand palm on her left knee area. The last three times I have done this I get HOT and SWEAT TERRIBLY to the point of where I feel
like I am in a sauna. I have never had this happen before with any of my clients. Yes, I have had hot palms, sweating episodes, but nothing like this. Nothing like this. My clothing is soaked sometimes. However, when this happens
the client is in BLISS. She sees my face turn beet red and my neck area too. It distresses the client a little, but she loves the feeling. She feels no pain, and likes it when I hold a position there. She is able to sleep att night - she
also suffers from severe insomnia. Can someone please explain this or perhaps they have experienced sweating like this before?
As to the area I was working on I felt prickly heat and like the area was drawing a lot of energy from me and it felt clogged. This area is the left leg ankle/top of foot and inner leg area to knee - I conferred to the acupuncturist
and she informed that this is the spleen area and the crown area where I am drawn to is a main chi meridian area which is associated with the spleen also.
Lastly, she asked me a question that I have never been asked before. Question: Why do Reiki Practitioners need to touch various Reiki points such as the base of the neck, jaw, heart chakra, solar plexus chakra, etc. When she already knows
that Reiki goes where it is needed too. She thought that we (Reiki Practitioners) should just work on the Crown area and let Reiki go where it needs to thru the body? I looked at her and half agreed but explained that we work on the chakra areas, and where our intuition or Spirit direct us to place
our hands on the client. She just nodded, but I don't think she liked the answer and her question made me wonder. Any insights here?
Blessings,
