Be Kind to Yourself

Be kind to yourself

A few days ago a client came to me. She has severe eczema. She had tried many methods of alleviating the condition, the pain, irritation, anxiety yet nothing has helped her deeply so far. I immediately felt that she needed a loving touch- nurturing and kindness, the kind that comes with treatment of the Spleen. The internal heat was high, so I made sure to include points that expelled heat from the body. On one such point - LI 11, she opened her eyes and looked around. "I feel wind, but it's coming from inside. All the heat in my body is coming up and out my head!" I could literally see her face losing its redness. During the treatment I kept repeating in my head "be kind to yourself ", it seemed important.

After the treatment she was like a different person. Lighter in spirit, laughing, smiling, gentler. When asked if I felt anything, I told her how important it was for me to tell he to be kind to herself. She stopped with an open mouth. During her last journeying therapy session a few weeks ago with a different practitioner, she reported seeing my face as a vision. When asked what I represented to her she said, "kindness ". Inside, she knew what she needed and the soul has a way of communicating that, and receiving.

The qualities you see in others is also what you have within yourself. We all need kindness, it begins with ourselves. Kind thoughts, a gentle touch, fulfilling our needs, communicating them, creating desired situations and getting out of undesirable ones. Allowing the pleasure and beauty in life to permeate us - see it, feel it, be it.
