Reminds me of an old joke, "I went to the fortune teller today, but it was a bad time." "She wasn't there?" "Yes she was, kinda, she was holding a note: 'Out of my body today, be back tomorrow' "
Thanks guys for the information. Ironically my teacher in Sufism was named "Grand healer of the western hemisphere". They were thinking of calling him grand healer of the world.. But figured that'd be presumptuous... (if you're a small group, at least use big titles right?) In our group we used the word "Lightpost" to signify we don't attach reason to things that just happen that are beyond reason. It could easily be "Kettle" or "Vacuum cleaner" but we happened to stick with lightpost after a good laugh.
I have an ankle that's slightly busted I do practically everything on foot and sometimes it gives me sorrow. Nothing big, one of the sinews there is just a bit overworked sometimes. I guess it's a good place to start. I suppose the only reason I might not want it to be fully healthy is that it keeps me off the treadmill at the gym. That's also where it started. So I hereby promise myself I'm not going to crawl upon that thing even if my ankle heals. Yay life is getting better already..
But then what? I can easily make the affected area glow with energy projected from the hands. I have already been doing that periodically though. And massaging with energy does suppress the symptoms. But it hasn't fully healed so far.
I don't want to be too cerebral about this. But I've tried several approaches. And it's really presenting itself as a puzzle, it's hard not to leap into cerebral mode if you understand certainly for a man in my condition What do I do? For how long? And when do I repeat.
