She cried several times during the session and told me that she felt great afterwards. She told me that she believes part of the lessons of this experience is to learn how to slow down. Her speech is halting and as she would speak slowly, I found myself at times wanting to finish her sentences or help her find words, but I didn't. I remembered watching Ram Dass' documentary "Fierce Grace." At one point he tells his speech therapist how frustrating it was for him to have others want to finish his statements after his stroke. So I listened and let her speak with her slow, breathy rhythm. They said they wanted me to come back and I hope it happens. I look forward to being with her energy again and to help her heal.

Also, I am reading this obscure book on Craniosacral therapy, that I have never seen in anyone's house before or any yoga studio. I been walking around with this book and had it in my car. When I walked in to their house they had the book right there at the entrance. I was blown away- specifically because I have been so drawn to studying carniosacral therapy. I told them I had the book in the car and they were quite impressed to. It might seem like we were making much out of nothing but it felt magical. 

At the end of the session, when she was in savasana, I gently held her skull, careful not to press the tube on the right side of her skull. I held her head with the utmost sensitivity. I could feel the throbbing of her pulse and continued to soften my grip. Then at one moment I literally felt her head wanting to turn to the left (which is her tendency) and I mentally communicated for her to not turn and to stay aligned. Afterwards, she told me that she felt her body wanting to misalign and revert to old patterns but she didn't let it. It was so interesting that we both felt the same thing. 

There is so much to the body! So many mysteries! 

I hope to live long enough to continue to learn and help heal others and myself.
