Gemma

A lady with ME responds to Energy Field Therapy

August 2002

"Gemma", a lady in her early forties who has been diagnosed with M.E. and Raynaud's disease, recently started to come for Energy Field Therapy after reading about this form of healing in the February edition of Positive Health. When I initially spoke to her she was very despondent, not only because of the poor state of her health, but also because she had tried other forms of complementary medicine and none of them had seemed to help her.

Gemma has a long history of ill-health. It began in her early years when she contracted many of the typical childhood diseases. She managed to recover from these, but from the age of approximately 9 years onwards her health took a significant turn for the worse. She developed agoraphobia and although she was able to move out of the intense fear that this condition brought her and leave the house, she would suffer anxiety and panic attacks at the thought of going to school. Her situation was so bad that she was prescribed Valium for 7 years - from the time she was 15 years old until she was 22 years old. Fortunately, she was able to wean herself off these drugs.

Running concurrently through this period and continuing until the present day, Gemma has felt an over-riding sadness, which has profoundly affected her life. She describes the many losses of family, friends and beloved pets as "purgatory". The pace of her life has become slower and slower over the years so that by the time she came for Energy Field Therapy she was physically and emotionally exhausted. With so little energy at her disposal Gemma was resigned to sleeping most of the day and was unable to perform even the simplest of household tasks. Her weight had gradually dwindled to 5 stone 10 lbs and no matter how hard she tried she could not put any weight on. Gemma's greatest wish is to contribute to the world and to feel fully active in it.

Over the four days of Gemma's first course of Energy Field Therapy she released an extraordinary amount of congested energy from many locations within her body and her energy field. At the same time she gained a great deal of insight into the nature of the feelings that she was holding on to and how these had contributed to the development of her physical problems. This awareness has enabled Gemma to begin making important changes in how her life is structured and the choices she has been making. This is often an integral part of healing with Energy Field Therapy. The releasing of trapped emotional energy not only helps us understand how our particular problems have been created, but also re-connects us to the intuitive wisdom within us, that guides us as to how we may best help ourselves.

Gemma has recently had her second course of therapy and in the 12 weeks since the start of her treatment has made tremendous progress;

Her hands stopped shaking on the first day and this has not returned;

Her appetite has improved enormously and she has now put on 11 lbs and weighs 6st 7lb - which is more than for many years;

She has a great deal more energy and has been able to attend family functions for the first time in years, go on shopping trips, perform household duties which were beyond her a short time ago and get up promptly in the mornings rather than sleeping for most of the day;

The circulation in Gemma's hands have improved so that they are pink and warm instead of cold and pale;

Her fingernails and hair have started to grow and her hair has even started to change colour, turning darker again instead of being grey; The monthly nosebleeds have stopped; She has begun to salivate (for the first time in 7 years);

Emotionally she feels much more enthusiastic about the future and the possibilities for herself and she is able to think more clearly, quickly and with much greater concentration than before;

She feels much more "present" with the world seeming sharper, brighter and more alive. She is writing again with ease (she couldn't hold a pen before) and has started sewing again (for the first time in 6 years).

To quote Gemma "I've never felt like this in the whole of my life".

People who have not seen Gemma for a short while are astounded at the way she has changed. She is consistently receiving remarks about how well she looks, how bright her eyes are and how different she seems.

Gemma still has a long way to go. It is unrealistic to expect 30 years of physical illness and emotional suppression to heal in a few months, but this does show the extraordinary level of self-healing we can access if we can release the energetic obstructions (and their emotional content) to our energy flow. Energy Field Therapy can be such a powerful catalyst in this process.

It is important to realise that each of us will respond differently to this form of healing. Not everyone will respond as dramatically as Gemma. What Energy Field Therapy does is to provide the most favourable energetic conditions in and around the body for healing to occur, but just what is possible for each of us depends on our own healing capabilities and how ready we are to release the life experiences that underpin our problems.

It is also important to understand that although Gemma has made extraordinary progress in such a short space of time, she has experienced a lot of physical and emotional discomfort too. This is an inevitable consequence of greatly increasing the flow of energy through the body.

Physically this manifests in a variety of "cleansing reactions" which increase the elimination of the biochemical toxins and cellular waste that have accumulated in diseased tissues and cells during the course of the illness. These reactions can include an increased thirst and a corresponding need to urinate more frequently; the appearance of rashes or eruptions; diarrhoea; vomiting and coughing and sneezing with the associated development of discharges from the eyes and nose. Most of us will only develop one or two of these symptoms and although they can be unpleasant, they are welcome signs that enhanced self-healing has been activated by the treatment.

Emotionally this manifests as the surfacing of trapped feelings, which have often been suppressed for many, many years. Although most of us are consciously unaware of the experiences that we have had in life which are continuing to disrupt our health by the way that they interfere with the flow of energy through our bodies, the electromagnetic patterns that record these events can be felt in our energy fields and healed.

The intensity of the feelings that Gemma has "bottled up" over the years, together with the suppressive effect of the drugs that she was prescribed for such a long time when she was only very young, has meant that a lot of emotions have emerged to be released. Gemma has had periods where her feelings have fluctuated dramatically, almost from hour to hour. She has accepted that to heal means to release the emotional pain that we hold within us, and that without this we cannot truly change. It may be an uncomfortable or painful process to initiate, but the rewards of persevering are well worth waiting for!

I will keep you informed of Gemma's progress.
