A client approached me in Jan this year to work on her father who suffers from dementia. She felt that he had a "haunted" look on his face, certainly not at peace. I recommended that we do three sessions over a period of a week in time to celebrate the Chinese New Year with a difference.
For the sessions, I focused on balancing and enhancing his chakras plus running energy on his mind. The outcome as desired by the client was for her dad to be happy and calm.
As a therapist, it is important for us to do follow through with clients for feedback and observations. It was my second time working on a client with dementia and I was confident that there would be improvement.
My client called me after the Chinese New Year celebrations and shared that at the reunion dinner, her dad actually stayed on at the table with the family. It was the first in a while cos' his usual pattern would be to finish his dinner, leave the table and watch TV. She also observed that her dad was calmer and have started to enjoy playing with his grandchildren!
That's wonderful isn't it?
My client decided to continue with booster sessions for her dad and mum. I did a 12 colours meditation for 21 days and after that, a monthly healing session. She shared her dad is very peaceful and calm, in an excellent emotional state. So much so that last month, she decided that perhaps more sessions could be done for her mum instead. I was concerned when she suggested this as I felt that the monthly sessions are important for her dad. I recommended that rather than to stop completely, at least do short sessions.
Two weeks ago, my client smsed an SOS. Her dad acted up and was in an agitated state, the first time in 6 months since we started the sessions in Jan. I did a session for him on that very day. Had a chance to speak with the client two days later and she shared that on the day I did the session for her day, he slept very well and by the next day, he returned to a calm state of being. She realised that a short brief session isn't enough and that usual monthly sessions are needed indeed.
From this example, as a therapist, I realised that "maintenance" is necessary in some cases. And that ongoing energy work is essential to further enhance one's well-being. We may have done a session to heal a bone fracture and that's wonderful. That does not necessarily mean that it's all our body needs.
Based on recent experiences, for clients who are energy trained, I will strongly encourage them to continue to run energy for themselves after the sessions. For clients who are not energy trained, I will recommend that they pamper themselves with a monthly booster session, similar to say a monthly massage or facial. As it is a recommendation, the final action will still have to be taken by the client.
As for myself, I am running energy on myself every single day. Walk the talk! :) :) :)
