OT Re: Boundaries and health

[Guest guest]

Hi Ann,

I just want to clarify that the times that I was able to use touch to help

others in their

healing was not work-related. It happened when I was staying at an intentional

community

in Oregon. " Opportunities " presented themselves (ie someone had a epileptic

seizure;

another had a sleep apnea episode and was choking, etc.) where I felt free

enough to

follow my strong impulse to touch the person. I had never witnessed either of

those

situations before. People were even telling me not to touch the person in

seizure but I felt

compelled to. I chose to trust my body. The minute I did, his seizure shifted

and he soon

came out of it. It was pretty incredible.

I practice Reiki on myself and like you wrote below, you are supposed to be a

conduit for

positive energy, that passes through you. But in the instances I refer to above,

I was not

pushing positive energy in; instead I was pulling negative energy out and

pushing it into

the earth through my spine (I was sitting cross-legged). It's what my body

wanted to do.

No matter how I want to push positive energy in, it's always that I end up

pulling out the

negative and trying to ground it. Afterwards I always felt emotionally and

physically

drained and extremely empathetic toward the person. Although draining, the

process was

also exhilarating. I always felt the situations were gifts, where the person

revealed their

most vulnerable state to me. Some day, I hope to live in community again and

further

develop my intuitive nature. There is nothing more gratifying to me than to be

able to use

touch to help others to heal.

Regarding EMF sensitivity, I always thought I got away with avoiding that fate.

I recently

got a radiant heater and it brought up EMF symptoms BIG TIME. I returned the

heater and

the symptoms went away, but it made me very aware that I have had EMF

sensitivity for a

while, just at a much subtler level so I was not yet aware. So I recommend to

anyone that

they buy a few protective devices if they use the phone or computer often. I

bought the

cap and apron and phone from lessemf.com (no financial interest). I also bought

" boji

stones " because a friend with EMF sensitivity said they were the only things

that helped

her.

Much peace to all,
