Happy Dance

My new client has had insomnia for 1.5 years, despite antidepressants, therapy, and sleep medication--until our session, after which she enjoyed two solid nights of sleep without waking! I feel great hearing that!!

That totally wrocks. It's like when someone comes into the bakery and swoons over the croissants--not because they're croissants, but because they're particularly GOOD croissants. Oh yes; nothing like a little validation, eh?

And that's one of the things about the work that both of us do: it has pretty immediate effects.

ready for some technical mumbo-jumbo? Long-term Qi deficiency, leading to Blood Deficiency. Blood def esp effecting the Heart and Liver, causing nightmares and insomnia; Heart unable to house the Shen because of blood deficiency.

I began with cupping the Liver back-shu points, and Zen Shiatsu LU area on the back, and over the Kidneys. This was when I noticed the Blood Def, because the cups only created a pale pink color on the skin (would normally be red to purple). Treated Lung and Liver meridians with shiatsu (both meridians relate strongly to depression)--with a tonifying intention--and gave lots of lifestyle recommendations for homework.
