New Update from Hamburg

This is the next chapter in my fathers journey through his current health challenge.

While still at the retreat with Mingyur Rinpoche I spoke with Ted, who I had learned, works over the phone and is able to shift many things long distance. Ron in Ottawa had been impressed that his back pain, which had kept him from bending down and doing the unavoidable spring yard work, found this pain had completely disappeared. Natalie, his sister in law, who had joined us for the weekend, had apparently worked with Ted more than once, and referring to the speed he works with, she described she has a whole list ready to go through with all the little aches and pains she wants to address.

Enough recommendation for me to try him out, especially since he had a very low hourly rate at the time.

Ted talks very fast, almost in a hurry, and it takes me a few minutes to realize he is not just summarizing for me what he sees, but he is also adjusting and releasing things at the same time. I take notes and try to be present with all he is detecting and unraveling simultaneously. Within the hour he had swept through several past lives, death by poison, karma with the surgeon, acidity levels in the body a clogged lymph system, habits and beliefs of needing to do things alone, old stories trapped in the bowls, disempowering beliefs in connection with the second kidney, emotions within the family in response to these events, my mother's source of strength, and even a little bit on my own story with the cysts... Phewwwhhhh...

Papi got better, although slowly and with setbacks. His bowls again were the main stumbling stone.

On Wednesday they sent him back home, where he arrived happy but still very weak.

By Friday his bowls had come to a halt yet again and his family physician, a wonderful woman, who Mami describes as someone with a rare willingness to take her time to listen and be present with her patients, strongly recommended to him to go back to the hospital. She felt staying home over the weekend he might risk another locking up of the colon. Not a good thing. He experienced that four years ago. Nothing you want to repeat.

So, on the third day home from the hospital, he went back into the emergency room one more time. Anyone who has ever been through surgery knows how much of an effort it is to be up on your feet for more than 30 minutes during the first 10 days of recovering, but to go back into the emergency room, with all the waiting, the in and out of examination rooms for blood and urine tests, and new examinations. ... It was another four hour ordeal, but at the end of it all he was sent home ... after the bowls did come back to life through some simple magic.

It was only then that he felt he is finally on a steady way to recovery.

Knock on wood...tok, tok, tok... the old bowls have been doing fine since.
