Decoding Back Pain

One of the reasons I got into healing was that the past 3-5 years I have suffered from sporadic back pain and sciatica. I have been to the doctor, had x-rays, physical therapy etc. It comes and goes with my stress levels and with other intangible things. And what I've been asking myself for the past few years is what is this trying to tell me? I almost stumbled on the answer a few months ago when I wrote a post on how pain has influenced me. Basically it grounds me in my physical body; I'm fully present and aware of how I feel at that time. But then I left it at that. 

About one week ago the pain moved from my lower back to my left shoulder and my neck. I was living on painkillers until a fantastic energy healing meditation with Archangel Raphael on Monday. He's been with me all week, healing me on Monday, helping me channel healing to my homework assignment on Tuesday, and then today we had a class on Raphael. I got really good guidance from him on a personal development level, rather than pure healing.

The first message from Raphael was that I had to go with my spirit and not my ego. I do make an effort to make the right impression and  get things right. A few weeks ago I was reading Eckhart Tolle's book, The Power of Now, and he talks about how our sense of self is jeopardized when we link it to being "right" or "perfect" or any of those very competitive adjectives. He told me not to worry about getting things wrong. People won't think less of me and I won't suffer a set backs. Let it slide. 

I had already started on this path after reading Tolle, but recent events strengthened my understanding of the concept. Yesterday I went in to "sell" a marketing plan at work, and it got rejected in favor of something classical and more sensible. If I had attached my self-worth to being right, not getting the proposal approved would have demoralised me. But it didn't, because at the end of the day we all make mistakes, and that is how we learn. Lucky for me there were people in the room with more experience, who could point me in a safe direction (consequently, the path of least resistance lol). 

The other message I got today really made me happy, the woman that was reading for me told me that she saw me growing wings, that I was opening up and expanding. She also saw me flying up to the highest heights. Then she went on to tell me that I  need to be more grounded and to keep my head out of the clouds to get there.  I was born and raised on Cloud 9, and will often lose sleep, time and energy because I'm spacing out.  I need to be grounded and alert to have traction in my life. This "grounding" message was the same thing that  Archangel Raphael told me during the opening meditation. 

Raphael told me to let go of my ego and the need to be right, and also to be more present in my everyday life. Being up in the clouds puts a lot of distance between me, my life and my circle of friends, family, etc. True that. One of the things that will help is a new system I found to manage my blog and Facebook page when I'm asleep and working. It's hard to be in two places in one time, and keep track of all of these online sites. So now, when I'm at work, I'm at work. If I'm giving readings they get my full attention, and if I'm writing that's all I'm doing. Multi-tasking is overrated lol, I need to focus! =)

So what does all this have to do with my chronic back pain? I left the class feeling fantastic, my left shoulder is still a little bit stiff but overall I feel much better. And after the big lecture on grounding, I'm also a little bit more focused. I was going about marveling at how great I felt, and a brilliant thought popped into my mind. My back pain went away because I was naturally grounded today. 

Not sure if this is the case for everyone, but I have noticed that my back will spasm when I start daydreaming about what I want to accomplish. It's happened once or twice at work, with my book/blog, etc. I am getting the feeling that on-again-off-again back spasms are there to ground me. After all, when you feel a small-medium amount of pain it brings you back to the present, and you're acutely aware of your body and your discomfort. Thing that I wouldn't have paid too much attention to if I was grounded. 

So that's my theory, will let you know how it pans out over the next few weeks.

A Pagan Priestess

I had been looking forward to last week's Angel Intuition class for days, weeks even. It was Uriel's turn to lead the class. He's the Archangel of Fire, prophecy, mysteries, magic and many other things. He also helps us discover our soul purpose and our spiritual identity. It's a big thing to look forward to! 

Rather than jump into the opening meditation, our teacher began by asking how we planned to use our skills. Did we want to become professional psychics? Would we be interested in giving healing messages from the angels?  Angels are known and accepted all over the world. We read about them in the Bible, they are on hundreds of Hallmark cards, and with the likes of Doreen Virtue there are also dozens of books on angel channeling, angel healing and angelic influences. In the Bible angels can even come across scary, for example Archangel Michael casting Lucifer out of Heaven. 

But aside from that, most of the angelic references are warm and fuzzy descriptions of love, comfort, and reassurance. All of this is true, but in my experience angels are also strong, powerful and vibrant beings. They are result oriented, for example I wouldn't call on Archangel Michael unless I wanted him to do something tangible for me.  It can be as simple as delaying a train so that I won't miss it. And when he doesn't delay the train, he delays the meeting that I couldn't be late for. True story!

With this in mind you can imagine how invoking Archangels every week brings disruptive change to your life. I missed the first week with Michael, which was just as well because I’ve been calling on him for two years. Gabriel was direct with his “communication” messages and Raphael was brilliant from a healing and grounding point of view. This week was Uriel's turn, and he's known for helping us find our soul purpose. This is why the class started with a discussion on our vocational interests, rather than a healing meditation.  

So how does this fit into my life? Technically this is a psychic development class and though I do enjoy it, I'm not keen on pursuing it professionally. Maybe it’s because I stress out when I'm put on a spot, but more importantly, I have little patience for questions about the future, jobs or relationships [oops!]. 

Our soul knows the answer to these questions and if we made a consistent effort to connect with our Higher Self, we’d see things clearly. I’d rather point clients in this direction and give them one of Sonia Choquette’s books. If they’re already on this path, the occasional psychic reading will give confirmation for what they already know. The responsibility ultimately lies with the client, and having connection to HS will let them listen to  advice without losing their  personal power. I'm still forming this opinion, but it will shape my approach to psychic readings in the future. 

So what's left? I really enjoy healing, and there is more to this than energy work. A good-channeled message can be as therapeutic as anything else. The good news is we were given an opportunity to explore all of these topics in last week’s class! The teacher put us in pairs and told us to ask for a healing message. The classmate I was working with was getting over a bad flu. It was the first time she had been out in a week and the teacher suggested that I give her an energy healing if it felt appropriate. 

The first thing that popped into my mind was an article on the side effects of energy work, one of which is dehydration. Water is charged with energy and emotions, just think of the Suit of Cups in any tarot deck. It also enables the flow of energy through our body. If there is too much energy work going on we run the risk of becoming dehydrated. My classmate was getting the flu because she wasn't drinking enough water to bankroll her energy requirements. Drink more water - a simple yet effective healing message.  After this quick reading I gave her a potent mini-healing, focusing on her immune system and on her grounding. 

Now comes the fun part!   

As I mentioned earlier, I had been asking for clarity on my soul purpose and my career. By career I mean anything that takes up enough of my time and energy to become a full time job and part of my personal identity. The questions I've asked myself include: do I want to be a mom, a wife, a career woman, a healer, a psychic, an author, a friend, or even a free floater? My soul knows the answers, but  insecurity and ego get in the way. Intuition tells me that I am not interested in climbing the corporate ladder for "height's sake." I'm still on the fence about marriage and family life. I absolutely love healing but I’m still a newbie so the role it will play in my life is unclear. And then we've already established the fact that I am not keen on exploring psychic readings for $$$.  Despite my blog title I don't think of myself as psychic in the traditional sense. I like to think that I see and hear things when I am grounded and energetically open. The only difference is that I now try to make this part of my daily routine.

Like I mentioned this was Uriel’s week and I was hoping for some answers. My classmate started by telling me that she'd seen a past life of mine. It was a very detailed vision and it took her a few minutes to collect her thoughts. She had seen me as an old woman drawing water from a stream in Mexico. My classmate – let’s call her Rachael - had been to that spot in her travels and she identified it as sacred space.  She went on to say that I had been a source of strength and wisdom for the community in that incarnation. I was some sort of priestess, and worked very closely with water. She saw me drawing a bucket from the stream, and sharing it with the community as a tool for protection and healing. 

It was a reassuring message and I was fascinated by the glimpse of my past. I could see the scene through my brow chakra, and though I couldn’t see myself the vibe was very clear.  At this point out teacher interrupted Rachael and asked her what the reading meant for my current life.  The message was that I have all off that ancient knowledge in me and I just had to unlock it. Finally, she closed the reading by telling me she saw a crescent moon on my forehead, representing the priestess aspect of that life. The word she used was Crone, I had look online but I’m not sure how to interpret it. Would love to get your feedback on this one! 

The whole reading fits in one heavy paragraph, but there is a lot to think about in terms of what it means for my life. When I started out writing this post it was called Medicine Woman but I've been moved to call it Pagan Priestess. Not that I’m pagan in this lifetime, I do feel in my heart that there's a God out there. And though I apply selective amnesia with the Church’s doctrines, my belief system is loosely based on Catholicism [almost like a movie adaptation that has the same characters, but a different series of events]. 

Even so, the image of the Pagan Priestess has a spiritual connotation that I am drawn to, not to mention a strong feeling of empowerment. I really enjoy healing and will continue stick with it, but looking back on the reading I get the feeling that even energy healing will be too narrow in scope. We'll see how it goes, for now I am still defining what I stand for and how I want to live my life. I'm being pulled in a new direction, but given this reading the it may not be so new after all.

How To Heal Your Karma

Someone asked a wonderful question on my Facebook Page, and rather than losing the answer in a sea of quotes, I thought I'd write about it on my blog. The question, complete with smiley faces is the following:
How could I be able to pay karmic debt if I had never read the passbook ? :)
If I translate the question to Regina-Speak, I would ask, how can I identify the lessons I need to learn to cancel karmic debts? The idea is that over time, or even over the span of many lifetimes we accumulate a debt of karmas to repay. These often manifest as difficulties in our life. If I understand correctly, Prono's question was how will we know what we need to do if we haven't seen the passbook that lists all of these karmas?


My philosophy professors would be proud, now that I have spent a paragraph setting up the question we can get to the answers! 

The debts in our passbook are written into our lives, they appear in the form of challenges and difficult situations that we keep running into. We do not need to identify them as karmas to beat them, but it helps to think about it from this point of view because looking at things symbolically allows you to remove your emotions from the equation. 


A classic example is a person who needs to learn to stand up for themselves and defend each individuals right to live a life free from harassment. Standing up to a bully might be really difficult for them, and if you look at their childhood experiences they might have run into a lot of bullies on the playground. Whenever a bully approaches he might go quiet, retreat or even just take it in fear. Having a bigger kid taunt you is a lot of suffering for a kid, but he is running into that bully because he needs to learn a lesson. This has more to do with managing his own reactions and learning to react differently: stand up to the bully and stop taking his abuse, even if you're scared to. In a symbolic world, he will keep running into bullies until he learns to stand his ground. When he finally starts to push back he will begin to gain confidence and each time the bully will become less of a problem. Eventually, bullies won't push him around because of his reputation and the bully karma will disappear (or the fear will disappear).

This is an over simplified story, but the principles apply in real life to adult challenges (even bullies in the workplace, or in the family). I am not going to go into the details of the past life behaviours that might have caused this karma to occur, i.e. was he a victim or an aggressor in a past life? This message is about how we get over our karmas, not why they are there. :-)

How To Identify Your Challenges: 

Observe Yourself: Realize that your reactions and your behavioural responses are the problem, not the other person or the situation. The 1st step is to take responsibility for your situation and to stop blaming the other person. For example, you might have a problem with anger management, rather than blame the person or the situation that makes you angry you need to accept that they will not fade. Look into yourself, and ask what makes you different, so that you get mad when others do not. You are the only person faced with the problem of learning how to express angry emotions. This applies for the person who bottles it up inside, as much as for the person who explodes.

Is there a pattern? Pay attention to recurring themes in your life, what are the challenges that you keep running into? I know a man who is very good at his job, but he has still been fired at least 3 times from positions that he did well. Rather than blame each of his bosses for being unfair or even breaking the law, he looked at what he was doing to cause it - and it all came down to ego and his relationships with co-workers.


Ask for Guidance.  We can all identify patterns on our own, but sometimes we also have blind spots. So what can we do to identify the behaviours we can't see ourselves? Ask!!! Think of 2 people that know you very well and ask them to tell you one thing that you do to make your life harder. The best person to ask is usually the one who has probably been dying to tell you, but hasn't because of conventions (or because you won't let them). I asked my mother.

Guiding Stars: We can also look at our birth chart for guidance. Most people focus on the Sun sign but there is a lot more to astrology. My favourite so far has been the North Node, a karmic placement. There is an amazing book by Jan Spiller called Astrology for the Soul and I can't recommend it highly enough. The idea is that our South Nodes incorporates many past lives in which we have reinforced one aspect our spiritual dna and neglected another. Part of our karma involves us exploring the zodiac sign that was neglected. 

In my case, the effect was multiplied because my south node, Midheaven and Sun are all in Aquarius. This book described me better than anything I have ever seen, the effects will not be as strong for everyone but it is still a good cheat sheet.

Pace Yourself: Try to focus on one improvement area at a time, otherwise you will drive yourself mad. We will have plenty of changes to balance our karma, so enjoy your life and do your best not to add anything to this karmic passbook.

The first suggestions are based on techniques learned at the Kabbalah Centre in London. Go deeper by visiting their online university or signing up for class. I especially enjoyed Marcus Weston's lectures there.

Losing my Religion

A few weeks ago I went to the Mind-Body-Spirit Festival in London, didn't stay long as I hadn't checked the program and I missed all of the lectures! Most of the exhibitors were either selling crystals which I don't have space for, or books that I'd rather get on Kindle. What to do? I made up my mind to get a psychic reading or a healing before I left.  Most of the stands charged for the psychic readings, and I wasn't really up for it because as part of my coursework I give and receive readings every week (as a matter of fact I've also lucked out and received two impromptu healings from accredited healers at school - one of the perks of exploring this path).



One of the stands had a big sign that read All Life Readings are Free.  I sat down in front of a nice  lady named Anna, who went on to tell me that all of the psychics at the stand were Christians and that they did spiritual readings. She wouldn't be able to tell me about my job, my relationships or what might happen the day after tomorrow. The realm of physical readings belonged to clairvoyants,  she explained, her purpose was to help me find my path. She also asked if I was a member of any religion, and I told her that I was brought up Catholic.

"Are you Catholic now?" she asked?

What a tricky question! 

"Do you go to mass?" she asked.

I go to mass on Easter, Christmas and the occasional wedding.  I also try to go to mass on my dad's birthday, but it’s about remembering him rather than attending mass.  This year I skipped it altogether and sat in Hyde Park by the Serpentine Lake instead. Being in nature makes me feel closer to God than any church, and the friendly tree spirits helped ground my emotions. When I'm that close to a large body of water I get the same emotional response that comes from pulling a tarot card with a strong water theme. I can't remember what I told Anna, but she listened and then asked another question: 

"Do you believe the things you learned in Catholicism?"

I shrugged. So how do I answer this one? I feel an affinity for the Virgin Mary and I call on Jesus to help with my healings, especially after he helped me heal a horrible sore throat that kept coming back whenever I got stressed. The throat chakra has always been my weak link (something about speaking my truth). I'd had the pesky thing for almost three years off-and-on. Once it got so bad that I missed work for a week. The last time I went to mass with my family I asked Jesus to come down and heal my throat, once and for all. I remember visualizing a white light, I felt his presence behind me and I could feel the energy around my throat even before I placed my hands on my neck. That was a year and a half ago and I haven't had a sore throat since then, which is pretty fantastic. That was the first time I called on Jesus in a healing. It rocked, I would even call it a miracle, and I need more of those!

I told Anna that I believe in the spiritual beings associated with Christianity, but I don't buy into the structure and the rules that come with the Church.  I call on the Virgin Mary for protection, as well as the Archangel Michael - though he's not unique to Christianity. So far I've only had one nasty experience with a little dementor that tried to scare me in a meditation. I panicked for half a second, but when I was able to push out the darkness Mary and Michael were both there. As far as faith in Jesus goes, the sore throat convinced me, but even now I hardly make an effort to get to know him (sad!).  When I went to Jerusalem two years ago I was really struck by the experience, and I felt closer to the Passion of Christ than I ever had. But even with all this I feel drawn to explore other spiritual paths including Hinduism, Mindfulness, and the respect for Mother Earth that we find in pagan belief systems.

Today I discovered that I still need to work through my attitudes towards Christianity. Maybe I just have to agree to disagree on some points? For example, any talk of salvation rubs me the wrong way. I feel that we're already saved - we're just working on perfecting the bond between human existence and spirituality - isn't that what we call enlightenment? We would have to do something extremely stupid and evil to un-save our souls (I'm now conjugating verbs the Facebook way!)  If I approach Jesus with that frame of mind, I feel no resistance asking him for guidance. He has a lot to teach in terms of love, healing and compassion. But if I approach him from the born-again Christian point of view that Anna was suggesting, alarm bells start going off and I pull away. I'm still having trouble with this, part of me says I'm being immature, but on the other hand I want to believe that doors to Heaven are bigger than that.

All in all, the reading I got from Anna was pretty good. She was 100% accurate in identifying a barren spiritual existence with potential to start flourishing again. I lived in the dark ages for most of my twenties, and only started to open up when I went to the Holy Land 2 years ago. My travels also took me to India and Nepal, the peace I saw in those communities was also inspirational. Anna was right in telling me that my life without spirituality would be bland and un-fulfilling. 

My intuition tells me to make sure I leave both the window and the door open. Part of growing up will be getting past the pet-peeves that keep me from accepting Christianity, but at the same time I know that my spiritual path will be filled with wide open spaces. The message I'm getting is that there isn't a Cathedral big enough to hold it. I'm pretty sure that idea is in one of the Gospels, but not sure if it made the official cut =)

Accidental Clairvoyance

Something really weird happened to me today! So weird that I don't know where to start!  I was at work today and one of my bosses needed help formatting a graph on a PowerPoint deck. I would usually work at my own desk and email him the slides, but the changes were so minor that he had me sit at his computer to finish them while he went out for a walk. The thing about stepping into someone's office is that it's full of their energy. Just think about all that time we spend stressing over deadline, sitting in our chair and staring at the computer screen.  What can I tell you? As soon as I sat down my senses went into psychommetry mode and I started picking up information. Awkward! And distracting!!!

Most of my classes the past few weeks have consisted of playing musical chairs with our classmates and telling them what we sensed as soon as we swapped. In essence, we sit in someone's energy field and use the energetic imprint they've left on the chair to tune into their life.  If it's someone you don't know to well, you'll get little details about their personality. One time I sat in a classmate's chair and knew it was her daughter's birthday, and that she was planning a party. Another time I saw an older woman going on holiday, she was at the beach and she was very careful not to slip and fall down at the pool. When I asked her about this she told me that falling and breaking something was one of her greatest fears. We've done this exercise at least 4-5 times in class, and there is something to be said for routine.  

So back to the boss, the chair and the sudden clairvoyance. As soon as I sat down I started to notice his energy, it took me a split second to concentrate and switch off. The whole experience was very distracted, for a second I was tempted to see what else I noticed but then I thought better of it.  Luckily I didn't pick up any private information, and I've managed to forget the vibes already. 

It was very distracting though; that had never happened to me in a real life situation.  I'm tempted to try it out on someone else lol, but that specific work relationship was a little bit too complicated.  Might be better to practice on friends and get their permission. It was pretty amazing though, it's like seeing someone in 3D when you're used to a two dimensional character. They come to life!

Healing with Archangel Raphael

A couple days ago I was giving healing to a friend and got to thinking. I have had a neck, shoulder and back ache for almost a week and it was really getting on my nerves. It hasn't been strong enough to immobilize me, but there it was like a consistent annoyance in my life. I was grounding my friend and was overcome by a wave of self-pity, wishing I had someone to heal me when I needed it. We have this saying in Mexico, where the shoemakers family are the ones to go barefoot. And the cook's kids are the ones to go hungry. The past couple of weeks I've had the depressing idea in my head that I can't heal myself as well as I heal other people. And I was wishing someone would stop by to heal me, once in a while. Granted, we do practice on each other in class and I've been having weekly distant healings. But I was in a pitiful mood and I wanted someone to come to my house to heal me [cue the violins]. 


People get into healing for different reasons, I was driven by recurrent stress aches that were making my life a royal pain. Two years ago I had just moved to London and was looking for a job. I didn't want to admit it, but the stress of the move was getting to me and it was taking a toll on my back. For a few weeks I kept making trips to Boots Pharmacy to buy Pain-Eze, but eventually my desperation drove me to the Mind-Body-Spirit section at Waterstones. I was determined to cut if off at the root, and end my back aches once and for all. I walked down the stairs and saw the blue potion-like covere of Petrene Soame's book, even before I reached the shelf.  Just look at the title, it was everything I wanted: The Essence of Self-Healing: How to Bring Health and Happiness into your Life. The cover is a bit wishy washy. I was a little bit embarassed to take this to the register and pay for it. I think its because all of this mystical stuff still feels very alien to me. The content is fantastic, it was the first time I heard the idea that we choose to be in ill-health. But the cover was too much for me, with its sparkly potions. Still, I think its beautiful. 

This afternoon I met some friends for lunch in the Notting Hill area. We walked up and down Portobello Road looking for a new pizza place, which turned out to be booked. The search for a restaurant continued for what seemed like ages, and all along I felt a little pain in my back and legs as we walked. After lunch we went to the Victoria & Albert Museum to see a great photography exhibition about life in South Africa.  There was a very vivid still shot of a red-headed man in one of the shots at the end, he looked so alive and I could almost see him stepping out of the picture and into the hall. I think he must have had a personal relationship with the photographer, otherwise I don't know how they could have captured his essence so well. I stood there looking at the picture, with my purse slung over one shoulder and weighing on my back. All along I had this slinky feeling in my spine, I swore the red-head knew I was in pain [that was a very Harry Potter moment, I have a vivid imagination!] After the exhibition we each went our separate ways, I stopped by Harrods to get Lebanese candy and then caught a bus home.  The bus dropped me in front of Waterstone's and without thinking I walked into the store. A massive pile of books greeted me in the entrace and  I remembered the ones I have sitting on my shelf and in my Kindle, un-read. I turned and left.



To my surprise it had started pouring in the last three seconds, and I was six blocks from home with no umbrella. That left me no choice and I went back in to the Mind-Body-Spirit section, looking for a book to read until the rain finally stopped. The first one I picked up was called Seeing Angels, it took me about twenty minutes to flip through dozens of testimonials on angelic encounters. The woman who wrote the book is an agnostic theologian, and she was interested in documenting trends that made it big in the US before coming to the UK.  When she started the research she thought Angels were a trend that would blow over, going on to say that they only went mainstream in the 1990's when they started exploding on bookshelves and TV in the US.  Before that angels were in the Bible, and people assumed that they were a thing of the past. Or that you had to be Moses or St Joseph to see them. Not anymore, her book is filled with dozens of accounts, there are lots of similarities in the accounts. There was a chapter on healing that got my attention, one of the things I have been interested in is how we can ask angels to help with the energy healings. At one point she touched on Archangel Raphael, and his work with doctors, healers and other health care practitioners.



A light bulb went off in my head and I remembered seeing a Doreen Virtue book, I went back to pull it off the shelf. For some reason,  I can't stand Doreen's voice, so the radio show and the guided meditations really off limits for me. But the books are great, I already have one on Archangels and Ascended Masters. The one on the shelf today was called The Healing Miracles of Archangel Raphael, I flipped to the back as I sometimes do with reference books. The last chapter was filled with short prayers for specific afflictions. They were all addressed at Raphael, and would include the emotional trigger that is supposed to hurt that part of the body (or life). For example, I looked up neck pain and it said something along the lines of:  Dear Archangel Raphael, thank you for healing my neck and restoring flexibility so that I can see my life clearly in all directions. This struck  a chord with me, because when I started to get my stiff neck and upper back last week I remember thinking that I couldn't look at myself. I was OK if I was sitting up straight and staring straight ahead, but if I dropped ketchup on my shirt I would have to go stand in front of a mirror to look at my shirt. When I read this little prayer the message for me was that the neck pain was caused by my control issues, my metaphoric inflexibility and not wanting to take a look at myself. I had been too focused on doing readings and healings for others, and I was ignoring my own needs. So I resolved to take a break and pay close attention to what's going on in my life. Once again, I'm convinced that any dis-ease is how our body and soul commmunicate with our conscious self. My goal is to listen and make sure I sort things about so I can stay healthy. 

After getting an answer on what was causing my neck pain I turned to the front of the book and started reading. It was still pouring outside, and this is where I was supposed to be on the rainy afternoon. The book went on to discuss all of the things that Raphael dedicates his time and effort to, primarily health, healing, and helping other heals. He guides doctors and nurses in their career paths, and if we ask him to remove our pain and our illnesses he will also help with that. There were a few testimonials at the beginning from people who asked him to step in and heal their illnesses, and the way they describe the tingly hot sensations is exactly the way we experience distant healing. So another light bulb went off in my mind! Archangel Raphael is the super-powerful healer that I can call on when I need to heal myself. Sometimes its great to have someone else do the work, trying to channel light and and heal my own neck was a pain. I'm not going to cover the book in length, I managed to read through most of it and by the end I was sold on coming home and asking Raphael to help me with my neck and back. 

The rain had stopped by the time I was done reading the book. I came home and lay down on my bed, asking Raphael to come to my room and heal me. At first I closed my eyes, but I got the feeling that I should keep them open. I could sense him standing huge at the foot of my bed, and the first thing I felt was a light brush against the bridge of my nose.  Usually I will feel something like a feather on my cheek or my nose, some people feel hands on their shoulders or over their crown chakras. The feather-sensation disappeared and I started to feel warm energy all over my feet. It spread until it covered my left side completely, and then engulfed the right side.  I could feel shivers up and down my spinal column, up my neck and down the back of my leg. My left leg started to throb as well, that's where I had a DVT a few years ago and it will still bother me occassionally. The sensations were really strong for what seemed like half and hour, then I fell asleep. I woke up two hours later, my temperature had dropped and I was freezing. My right ankle still had a little sprain, but the rest of me feels much better. I can still feel a little crick in the neck, and I think it will take a couple sessions. No doubt there is some emotional instrospection to do, to make sure the pain goes away for good. The pain in my back is usually a small nagging sensation, unless I ignore it and then in balloons into something bigger. It usually appears when I'm stressed or bummed about something that I am turning a blind eye to.
