I am going to also post this on the TTC board since it is a TTC issue, but I wanted to post it here since I think this would technically be an Alternative Remedy.
I have an appt tomorrow with a Holistic Healer that does Energy Balancing. I have no idea what to except, or if she can even help me.
My basic reasons for going are:
1. I do not ovulate on my own without Clomid. (Well I did once)
2. I have had 2 miscarriages this year.
3. I want to get pg and carry the baby to term, a healthy, alive baby, that will live a good long life. (Sorry, but if I just put that I want to get pg, I'm afraid that fate will be cruel and let me get pg only to m/c again.)
Anyway, what I am posting this for is to ask if anyone has had any experience with Energy Balancing, if it helped with ovulation and other PCOS symptoms, and what should I expect at the appt?
I recently attended a workshop on auras and energy balancing. All very interesting and new to me. I myself experienced some pain relief in my shoulders and neck after one session.
I am not sure if this energy balancing will be similar to the healer that you are seeing, but I hope that he/she is able to help you.
I would love to hear of your experience, as mine was very emotional and has opened my eyes to many alternatives...
I just wanted to stop in and say thanks for replying. My appt was a week ago tomorrow. It was very emotional for me as well. She addressed some issues that I have, but not the concieving, miscarriage, or PCOS issues, which is what I really went for. She said that my emotional state needed to be in balance and that is what we are working on right now. I go back in November.
I am very willing to give this a try, however, I will keep persuing the issue with my re. I really went to her for complimentary treatment, so I am not disappointed with what I got.
I recently started having reiki sessions. If you're not familiar with it, it's based on the premise that all living things have a universal life force. Reiki practioners can act as a conduit for this energy and "give" it to you. (they just use their hands, either a few inches from your body, or touching you if you're ok with it) I really like the idea of a universal force, but I wasn't too sure that I fully believed it would help me.
My main issues were emotional/mental in nature. I was going through a rough spot with my exboyfriend/best friend and was extremely upset and basically falling apart emotionally. The day after our "talk", I had a reiki session. It was about an hour and 20 minutes. I walked out of there with a clear head. I felt like I was walking around in a bubble. I was amazed....I went from having a big jumbled mess in my head one day, to being clear headed the next.
I ended up having a second session with a different practitioner, with similar effects.
This has all happened over the last month or so. Coincidentally (or maybe not) I've also had a huge emotional/spiritual turn around in my life. I've never been this content with myself, my life and the world in general. The changes that I've wanted to make, just seemed to come to me. Like I came in touch with the universe. (sounds really cheesy, but completely true)
So, now I'm going to be learning how to do reiki. It's helped me that much that I want to learn. So, that's been my experience with energy work.
