Anno 60 PDA
This past Saturday peristera, karma_sue, tausirhasirim, and I made another trip to Mt. Arabia. We arrived shortly after 6 PM. Since the sun is going down quite a bit earlier than it has been we spent less time wondering around, meditating, and enjoying the view, and got to work fairly quickly.
I did my usual offering to Legba, and approached the rock where tausirhasirim was already working on peristera. When he finished I approached, saying something to the effect of, “Whatever you’re moved to do.”
He replied, “It’s got to come from you.”
“I’ve always had an idea of where to start, but this time I’ve got nothing.”
He seemed annoyed at this but said, “Your spine seemed easy before, did I finish doing your spine?”
“There was an area you said you needed to do again.”
So, he began working the points down my spine, once again skipping the area he had earlier said he needed to come back to, saying it “didn’t feel right”. As he empowered each point on my back I could feel the energy traveling from his hands into my spinal column, until he reached the section of my lower back that is perpetually knotted into a tight slab of muscle. I felt no energy flow and he said, “What’s happening here?” Finally, after much effort he forced through the blockage. The energy penetrated deep and hard, and my lungs suddenly felt as though they were filling beyond capacity with the pure oxygen. He proceeded to the base of my spine, the energy now feeling more potent than before. He then empowered points on either side of my lower back, just above the buttocks. Finally, he said, “this may cause a jolt,” putting one hand at the base of my spine, and the other upon the crown of my head.
There was a jolt.
My lungs felt like they exploded, and I collapsed.
I’ll leave comments about the rest of the evening for latter, except to say that peristera turned purple.
The next day, I was completely beat. After karma_sue left I threw some laundry in to wash and crashed on the couch for the rest of the day.
Monday my lower back was so tight it caused pain in my stomach, chest, and upper arms. This area on my back has been a problem for years. It is literally tight and knotted 24/7 (which I’ve always suspected was a cause of much of the fatigue I suffer from), and a couple of years ago, got so bad that I began experiencing numbness in my extremities, cause me to visit a physical therapist.
Today the pain was much milder, more in line with my normal state.
Things to comment on, explore later:
Look into theories re: “armoring”, possibility of Reichian Therapy, maybe “Rolfing”
Follow up on conversation with karma_sue about the concept of Pwen Cho as “intelligent”
Finish working of chart of Points I’ve received so far.
Probably something else I’ve forgotten.
