Last Night's Accident

[Guest guest]

Thankfully, there doesn't seem to be anything seriously wrong with either of

us. We have definite headaches this morning, and we both are having some

definite between-the-shoulder-blades angst, which is a bit more complicated on

me

because the accident also dislodged a back-left-rib for a bit leading to my

having a not very useful left arm.

Mike -- are there any points that seem more important to you for whiplash? I

don't have your experience, obviously, but I do have Gach and Serizawa. I've

been working on jaw, neck, and upper shoulder points (and encouraging

to do the same...). I know St 6 has pretty much taken care of my jaw ache since

last night, and I'd been using Gach's migraine points already. I hadn't

checked Serizawa until just now, and there seems to be good detail for back,

shoulders, and neck (pp 218-221).

Off on a tangent, I had already discovered many of the points on my own by

paying attention when I've massaged people over the years. For me, I can't quite

define how I know where the trouble points are, my hands just know, and can

zero in on them accurately in very little time. However, I learned a lot about

energy and energy transfer while performing -- so at some point when I feel

more adept at acupressure, I'm going to have to expand into figuring out for

myself how to integrate energy and point work.

Thanx.

Mark,

I hope that you feel better as time goes on, no doubt you both endured more

injury then you can imagine as is often he case in auto accidents. Rest but

try not to let yourself stiffen up, spasms are worse, as you know.

Feel better soon!
