Hi Roxy,
Had hip pain several years ago which worsened during Reiki to the point I was almost in tears. It was a good experience to have because I can certainly relate to others whos feel worse with Reiki. It only happened once but that was enough to get my attention! :)
Was just reading a book that recounted a heart disease patient's discussion with his doctor & all the symptoms that he had for a long time & chose to ignore. The doctor related the symptoms to what was going on with him in several aspects of his life. But it took a while for the patient to see that his physical symptoms related to what was going on inside him. So, now I read your post & thinking about my own life & health, Im wondering if one of the things we humans have forgotten to do is recognize the communication from our bodies. Before there were docs on every corner, did we respect our body more? Maybe its not just about fixing it, maybe its about listening to the pain?
Sometimes the hardest thing to do is nothing, eh?
peace & joy,
holobon
