For some of you that know me, you are aware that I see my chiropractor (Dr. Daryl Gioffre) for regular adjustments. This is something that I have believed in for years now. Actually it changed my life! It is what I call a preventative medicine to cleanse your body from all of its tensions, traumas and stress we put on it just merely existing in this busy world we live in.
This story is about my experience with healing methods which came through in a much needed time. It was around 8 am on a Friday morning when I awoke I realized that my lower back was not feeling the way it should be. I couldn't think of anything that I had done differently that week that could have brought on this pain I was feeling. Well, maybe the fact that I had worked two weeks straight without a day off, that might have done it!
The pain was steadily increasing, it got to the point by mid afternoon to just to a step was becoming a painful event. Luckily that day my schedule was light and I was able to go home and lie down for what I thought must be a much needed rest.
Upon arriving at my home the tears were flowing, the pain was pretty much unbearable. It hurt to do anything, walk, stand, sit. Getting undressed was unsuccesful by myself I needed help and of course this is always a humbling experience. My first reaction was to call Dr. Gioffre for an emergency adjustment. I made the call and left a message, however, he was traveling and was referring me to another colleage of his. I really wanted Dr. Gioffre because I have such faith in him and he is a true healer. Time was passing and I could not bear the thought of traveling anywhere, I just wanted to lie down and be still.
Against my beliefs I took some pain killers which would knock me out. In times of serious pain your beliefs do seem to go out the window! I was feeling as though if I could just sleep and rest maybe I could wake up with no more pain. Well, unfortunately that wasn't the case. When I awoke the pain was just as before, maybe even worse. I laid there and cried feeling so helpless and so dissapointed that I was pumping these drugs into my body in order to deal with what was happening.
By the next day I was still in the same situation, no improvement at all. Don't even mention going to the hospital because I knew that they would not find anything. How did I know this? Because I had been through it before and that was the result, finding nothing and going home with three different kinds of pain medicine.
It became very clear to me at the moment as I lay in bed flat on my back, that I needed to do something to heal myself. I then recalled the last healing workshop that I had attended. It was given by the man who inspires me to be the healer I am and be the best I can (Derek Oneill from Dublin Ireland). In that last workshop he talked about the placement of the healing hands and the positioning of them in which he found to be an incredible, powerful healing tool. I can clearly hear him in my head saying when he had used this method on a patient how he could feel the bones moving and others could hear the bones cracking. Honestly, at the time when hearing this, I thought "Wow amazing, I wish I could do that".
So while I lie in bed I place my hands in that position of a triangle and place them over my lower abdomen/coccyx bone area. I have used this method on my clients, however, never on myself. Why? I don't know! That is another thing Derek Oneill has talked about, how us healers do not heal ourselves enough. He actually refered to it as a world epidemic of healers needing healing!
Well now more than ever was it time for me to use this method and use it on myself. I continued with channeling the energy as I normally would and kept my hands in that position. Next, I feel asleep or passed out, I am not sure. When I awoke my hands were still in that position and I felt this incredible burst of energy pushing through the front side of my lower abdomen all the way through to my back. It was so powerful it took my breath away and really scared me. The blast of energy felt as though it contracted inward to a tiny spot downward to my spine. Once the energy released it bursted back out the front of my abdomen wall and internally up and down at the same time.
I was now in shock over what I just felt transpire withen my body. Before I had a chance to even move, do or say anything I continued to lie very still and in that stillness my lower spine cracked in several places from the tailbone on upward. I could hear and feel physically the bones moving and cracking. I cried in awe of such a miracle that had just taken place. The miracle of energy and all of its powers. I continued to lie still for a few more moments before I dared to move my spine. Slowly I rolled over and stood up out of bed walking and moving around as if nothing was ever wrong.
The rest of that Saturday afternoon came and went and I was moving around feeling a little bit sore, but that was all. I thanked the universe for its beautiful healing energy and thanked Derek Oneill for inspiring me and teaching me this wonderful healing technique. I am so grateful to be a part of this healing world, and to be able to help heal those in need. And so it is!
