Yesterday I had my last session with the healer. That means I’m well. Yippee!
That also means I had my last acupuncture session yesterday. The healer once told me a patient of hers refers to acupuncture sessions as Needle Naps. At first, I didn’t get it. But over time I came to understand the name and the appeal. That healer has set up a space that is quite conducive to not only health, but also comfort. No matter what may be going on in the outside world, her office is a place to relax and let go. And yes, nap.
When I got to the healer’s place yesterday, I had to deal with some stressful admin crap before my appointment. I was fairly certain I would be riled up the entire time. But nope. After those needles were intentionally placed in my body, I began to calm down and my mind stilled. About 20 seconds before the healer came into the room to remove the needles, I awoke with a smile on my face. Once again, her magic spell had been cast and I was rested.
Now that I’m all done with this ugly-ass illness, I can honestly say I would recommend the healer to anyone needing her services. I believe wholeheartedly in the dietary regimen she prescribed (including supplements). The acupuncture? I went into this treatment with no opinion of acupuncture, and I come out of it feeling much the same. Sure – I found each session relaxing. But do I truly believe that’s what healed me? Not really. But for all I know, that’s due to my limited thinking. Maybe those needles are precisely what led me back to health. I just don’t know.
No matter. I’m here and I’m happy about it. Now somebody get me a pint, dammit. I’ve earned it.
