I really love alternative therapies. I had been wanting a therapist who was half-way between a psychologist and a reiki therapist...and I found her. If ye asks, ye shall receive.
Well, today I had my first acupuncture session. Freaking A! It was really interesting. I never really was all that gung-ho about acupuncture before, but I heard that this lady did electro-acupuncture. And that reminded of Edgar Cayce. I had been wanting to do a Cayce-type therapy ever since I read about it. See what I mean, ask and ye shall receive. So, I decided to take a shot.
I had needles in my head, chest (heart chakra), wrists, legs and foot (between my first two toes). First off the one in the top of my head immediately stopped me from thinking. Seriously. I couldn't put two thoughts together. Second, the one in my heart chakra hurt as if someone had punched me in the chest. It seemed as if the wind had been knocked out of me. Third, the electrical current was slightly painful - think about the most painful injection you've gotten - but not bad at all.
The only "adverse" effect was that it got really anxious when I realized I couldn't think. I mean, I am constantly thinking, planning, re-planning and organizing. It is so out of my comfort zone just to veg out. It took me a couple of minutes, but I finally found my happy place. It was so weird to be in a trance-like state. I actually smiled a couple of times. When all was said and done, I was tired...more like ultra relaxed...stoned, maybe, hehehe. It took all my concentration to focus on the therapist's explanation.
Anyways, I'm going to start a detox diet, which I have been looking forward to for the past couple of week. I have another session Friday...can't wait.
Until tomorrow!
