Long Term Post Surgery Effects: Anesthetics and Energetics

[Guest guest]

I don't know why I have never posted anything on this in the past -

it is stuff I knew. It just never crystalized in my mind before

this weekend to post anything about it.

It goes without saying that surgery is a very invasive procedure,

causing all kinds of trauma to the body of and by itself while

fixing something else. Blood vessels are rejoined and cut muscles

are stitched back together and the body heals itself over time. At

least it does in the western, conventional sense.

Conventional medicine, however, does not recognize, nor does it

address, two other forms of long-term trauma to the body caused by

the surgery. The first is the long-term, residual and cumulative

build-up in the body at the cellular level of the anesthetics. The

second is the damage done to the body's energetic system.

A well-known phenomenon in bodywork is the detoxification that

occurs during some types of emotional releases. I have talked to a

number of LMP's in the last three years who have had this happen

with clients. When the release occurs, you can actually smell the

involved chemicals in the room. They come out in the breath and

through the pores. Anytime someone receives anesthetics, there is a

toxic build-up of those anesthetics at the cellular level.

The " effects " of the anesthetic wear off in a matter of hours. But

the anesthetic itself stays in the body, including in the energetic

body. Yes, some of it will pass through and flush from the system,

but not all of it. Over time, it can have toxic consequences.

The recommendation, particularly for those of you with a history of

multiple surgeries with anesthetics would be to consider a good

lymphatic drainage flush and detox, both manually and

energetically. I would also recommend that this include a lymphatic

liver drainage.

As for the energy body itself, I am sure all of you are familiar

with the phenomenon of post-amputation phantom pain. If you talk to

most pain " specialists " you are going to be told that it is some

type of psychomatic pain. It has to be all in the head because

there is no longer a limb involved to generate a " true " pain

signal. On the other hand, talk to anyone trained in any of the

energetic modalities that deal with meridians and you will get an

entirely different story. And I don't care what the modality is. I

have had training in Shiatsu, Polarity and Acupressure - three

different modalities but all three working with the same energetic

system. They just approach that system from different directions.

I have also had different instructors for all three. More

importantly, all three of them have had first hand, hands-on,

experience working with amputees. And all three of them say the

same thing. You might remove the flesh - but you don't remove the

corresponding part of the energetic body. It is still there.

For those working with the energetic modalites, phantom pain is an

energetic pain caused by trauma to the energetic body at the site of

the wound, injury, incision, whatever. It is an energetic blockage

that the mind perceives as a physical pain.

And while not as obvious as an amputation, surgery can also cause an

injury to the body's energetic system at the site of the incision.

Sometimes the energetic channel heals just fine; sometimes it

doesn't. And just as vessels, muscles and bones have to reknit for

proper restoration of function, so too does the energetic channel,

the meridian.

What I am suggesting is that work to reopen those energetic channels

is well worth considering, particularly if you have had multiple

surgeries over the years.
