Intuitive Healing

People get spooked by unexplained healing powers, but also by ghosts, ESP, and even successful prayers. It's all paranormal, and so the fear of the unknown kicks in.

Oh, right.

I find it fascinating that if someone has pain in one area, it is referred from another part of the body entirely, that is not even in pain. I mean, it makes sense to me, I can see the connections and when I'm working I feel it moving through the whole body. It just seems non-intuitive at first.

This here, I get this a lot with my condition being what it is. A lot of referred pain.

My physical therapist (and also various doctors) have explained to me that generally a lot of the sort of pain I get is from nerve issues, particularly in my neck and spine. Some nerve gets all compressed and then hey, your whole arm flares up... Or other spots can get messed up in other irritating ways. There's like, little muscles right at the back of your head, right at the base, and those get flared up for me a lot, but that doesnt create pain in those spots, it mostly creates full on headaches, or at least what is perceived as headaches. She explained to me exactly how this works and why it happens. I understood none of it. The main important bit is that she understands it and knows what to do (generally it involves specific stretching movements, and putting pressure on those extremely specific spots).

The irritating part is that I cant fix that one myself. Like, other things, they can give you different stretches or whatever that you can do at home. But I cant do the "put pressure on that spot" on my own, not for that specific spot. Gotta have someone else do it.

I'm the same, right now I'm getting over a sciatica flare up and also my left scapula has been messed up for a while. I know it is all spinal. Which I'm trained for cranio-sacral, which addresses the central nervous system. It is very gentle as it .. well it doesn't really work on the spine, but the dura, which separates cerebral fluid from blood, there are three layers inside the spine surrounding the CNS. Anyway, too much detail. But I cannot work on myself very effectively. I'm too close to the issues. I do what I can.
.
my point with the cranio sacral, is that even though it is in the spine, since that's where all the nerves are, it can affect all parts of the body.
