MammaBear,

- in meditation mindfulness is rarely perfect - the key is to notice the 'intrusion' but then let it go - and return to the breath
- if she hears every beat this makes noticing and letting go potentially a rapid-fire and certainly annoying task
- I suspect anxiety has something to do with her hyperawareness of heartbeat
- the issues you notice at her back might well indicate that she is storing 'stuff' back there - the back being a haven for stresses and the energy of anxiety and trauma
- perhaps some Reiki to the upper back and base of the skull and Tanden to help her manage anxiety (if that is the issue)
- also, if there is a bunch of unfriendly stuff in the back area then a clearing\extraction may be useful
- hope this helps
Reiki All Around,
