The Light

I know this is going to sound far fetched to many of you, but yesterday I met a woman who's hands can heal with her touch.

One of the holistic therapies I am trying is cranial sacral therapy, and yesterday I met and spent an hour with the specialist. Through gentle touches and applying slight pressure with her hands she purports to move energy through my body. For 60 minutes I cried, felt the pain leave my body, and felt light and love fill me up. It was remarkable and almost unbelievable.

Separately, I gained seven pounds this week! As eating and drinking are my primary responsibilities these days, I took this achievement as a personal victory. I haven't gained weight in months and now I'm up to 147 lbs. Thank you to everyone for making this happen.

Too darn cool - I love it! Keep it up and maybe I need to bring over some more lasagna (though I'm hoping it doesn't make EVERYONE gain 7 lbs - ha ha ha).

Not far fetched at all. The universe is a pretty big place and anything is possible. Whatever you find to connect your soul and your body and ease any pain is real and a blessing. Love you and congrats on the weight gain...

Nice my man, I love this blog! It's the first thing I do every morning when I get into work, check up on Dave. Abe gets cranial sacral therapy and loves it!!! He's all fired up after every session.
Great news on the weight gain!
Love,

David,

I am so grateful this worked for you, and that you found someone with the extraordinary gift of touch healing.

Am also filled with gratitude that your fight has such varied arsenals.

The weight gain is a tribute to your mastery over mind and body.

What a son!

Love. Love.

Dave,

I am so glad to hear you had such an amazing experience. What excellent news that you are gaining weight too. I really do believe in energy work. My grandfather was a big believer in chi and daily breathing exercises for health and energy.

Hugs,

Jenny

Dave,

This post made my day. I'm glad you are gaining weight and that you get prolonged periods of time when you are pain-free. Keep tapping into your infinite reserve of energy (and always draw on your universe of friends and loved ones) -- that's what we are here for.
