This is the story of Valentina's first session. It shows what can be achieved in an emergency session. These sessions are intensive and usually take two hours. Valentina went on to have more session's by skype when she got home to Italy. This is her story.

 

Valentina called for an emergency appointment. She was driving to Europe the following morning and was in pain with backache and sciatica. When I arrived, she told me that she had not slept well for some months. She explained that she was aware that this physical problem had an emotional origin and that it was about moving forward with her new project which she felt blocked with.

 

I asked her about this project and she told me that it was very dear to her heart and that was why it was difficult to birth.

 

At this point its worth recognising how challenging it is to birth a personal project that reveals something about who we are and our personal journey. In my experience, these projects are very important to bring through, both for our spiritual wellbeing and therefore our physical wellbeing.

 

Valentina told me that this was indeed very personal and that her daughter had died three years previously. Her project was to help people in the same position by sharing ways in which to be with grief whilst drawing from its gifts.

 

The Kinesiology pre-checks revealed la ow functioning immune system. Valentina said that she had been very tired of late.

 

I asked Valentina about her project and the next steps that were required for her to move forwards with it. She said that she needed to get a job. When I asked about the job she explained that she needed to feel more a part of the world before she could write the course for her project.

 

When we muscle checked for the job, her body tested positive. “Yes, she said…. I feel ready to get this job. I will get a job that gives me time to write the course.”

 

We discovered more of her story:

 

listening was how she worked and knew what to do. She told me that she had been finding that difficult lately as her mind was cluttered with worries and fears.

 

Hammering out the truth made sense to her as this is what she knew she must do to get her personal story out. She was keen to find her authentic voice and the place she had experienced whilst in deep grief.

 

Rejoicing which she exclaimed was within her grief experience and an important part of the course she wanted to write.

 

Working with her bodies wisdom, we discovered Valentina while responsibility for her project was at the same time on an unconscious level, sabotaging herself. 

​

We listened to her body for where to support. The meridians came through as the priority with Heart in the chest and arms and Large Intestine in the lower back and legs. Valentina then told me that she had some bowel problems.

 

The heart meridian felt empty and over- active. Not surprising since her heart had had a lot to bear. The treatment here was about support and relaxation.

 

The Large Intestine meridian felt like a sheet of metal. Guarded on top and exhausted underneath. This meridian is related to grief and weeping. The intention here was to “warm” the metal and to help the energy build again.

 

Valentina reported feeling a lot better when she sat up. Some of the pain had gone and she felt less stiffness in her back.

​

On her return to Europe, Valentina wrote to me to let me know she had arrive home safely and had driven without pain. She continued sessions over Zoom. She got a job that she loved and is now birthing her project.
