The Wisdom and Gift of Change


It's been a while, but there is always more to share, it is my joy in life.

Someone told me once that if you can befriend change, you will master life. You meet it equally in every moment. It was the most wise thought anyone has ever shared with me.

I find myself in beautiful space, in the midst of what is supposed to be the worst recession in many years. You see change for me now at 46 is simply a gift. Something different, a chance for a new experience. We have been working hard to look after those we love these past few frantic years and now, there is space again, time again. I find myself able to visit with patients and enjoy my time in a way that has not been possible in a while. A less frantic pace, and more time for what really matters. The connection. The relationships.

My back had been troubling me and I sought out the services of an acupuncturist. A referral from a friend to someone who had trained under a man who healed me over 30 years ago, of a painful tendonitis that had plagued me for two years as a result of a skiing accident. I had cried all the way there. I hated needles, but more than that I thought my parents didn't believe me. That they had taken me to a quack.

I sat in a small examination room and a small Chinese man came in. He seemed very kind and he quietly place two small needles in my ear, told me not to worry, and then laid me on a table and I remember waking up a while later drooling, with my cheek stuck to the white paper that covered the table. I don't think I had ever felt so relaxed. I saw him three or four more times and I never had that issue again. I was healed.

When I walked into Peridot Acupuncture, I couldn't actually remember much of my experience at 15. Just what I told you above. Janet took a very thorough history and then did much the same as he had done. I laid face down on the table and when she put the needles in my ear I had an extraordinary experience. I was once again 15 years old in that small examination room. And I remembered everything. She gently placed all of the points explaining what each was named and as she did I felt them connect into a sort of golden fishing net across my back. I could feel the energy connecting each point and as she moved her hand over them emotions surged through my whole body. I started to cry. She asked if I was alright, but the emotion was not sadness. It was relief, love, joy, safety and a thousand other things. I felt her teacher, my healer in every touch of her hands. I told her I felt he was in the room, although he is still living. Energetically I could feel him guiding her hands and the gratitude was overwhelming. I felt safe in a way that is hard to explain. Cosmically protected. Cosmically Loved.

The second time I saw her, she did the same kind of treatment and as she was describing the points and what they did, I would hear the names and then say them just before she did. She didn't remark on how odd that was ( they have odd and not very guessable english names) and I didn't share what was happening for me I was too absorbed in what I was hearing.

The third time I saw her, I told her what had happened during the last session, and she smiled and said she had been aware that I was hearing the names. As I stepped into her space I heard the word "Gateway", so I took a chance and shared that with her. She smiled brightly and said " Ah! They want me to open the four gates! And off we went on another energetic adventure that I will share in another moment.

I have waited so very long for a true energy healer.  And she has taken me on a remarkable journey into the centre of myself. And in that space I have found all I have ever searched for and more.
In love and light,
Kat
