Over the years, we have tried lots of alternative treatments
& therapies, not wanting to leave any stone unturned. We have kept a group of treatments that I
will categorize as Energy Work in T’s regular treatment plan: Craniosacral
therapy, Myofascial release, and some Reiki when possible. One of
his previous therapists even knew how to do muscle testing, and created
wonderful liquid tinctures that T’s body “told her” it needed. All of this gets difficult for me to explain
in definitive terms…except that I keep it up for him because I believe that it
is helping. He is a child whose body is
almost always on the move. Flipping a
bracelet, bouncing & jumping when happy – this kid is active! But during these sessions, I can see his body
completely relax and be still. His
stress level dissipates, and the looks of love and peace that come over him (and
that he shares with me and his therapist) absolutely convince me that he is benefiting
from these treatments. And that’s enough
for me to keep it going.
But beyond that, I believe that this quiet time also feeds
him spiritually. Of course I don’t have
any hard evidence of this, except that I sense that this child growing
young man is very deeply connected to God and the spiritual realm. It doesn’t hurt that the women who have
provided these therapies to him see him as an absolutely pure soul. They see no disability, and see his
differences as a gift to be nurtured and cherished despite the world not
understanding or seeing.
