My second visit to the acupuncturist didn\u2019t begin with needles. My wife has been many times and explained this part, but I just didn\u2019t believe it. Rather, I didn\u2019t believe it would work on me. But, it did. In fact I was \u201ceasy.\u201d<\/p>\n
It starts with laying down on the table on my back. Just like the normal treatment. But, then the acupuncturist \u2013 we\u2019ll call her Ellen \u2013 holds one wrist at your side. That\u2019s to feel the change in your pulse and what organ is responding. Then I raise my other arm up straight and resist her light grip on that wrist. Then the questions begin. It\u2019s to get my body to tell both of us what\u2019s bothering me\u00a0subconsciously. If my arm stays stiff, that means to go on. If it stops resisting, then she\u2019s right on the money. Ellen can even go back in time. She started asking about when the event occurred. It was for the emotion of resentment.<\/p>\n
We narrowed it down to an ex. That was surprising as I rarely think of her anymore \u2013 with resentment or otherwise. Then it turns out the event was in 1992. That\u2019s a ways back. Turns out a lot happened that year. My eldest daughter was born. My son joined our family. We bought our first house. I started a business with a partner. I left my old job. So, we had to weed through all this. Ellen is an expert at this.<\/p>\n
Turns out I hold some resentment against my ex for not allowing me to go to a funeral of my best friend up in Ohio after he committed suicide. I\u2019m not sure if that was 1992 and I had no idea I felt this way. Nor do I remember how the decision was made not to go. But, my body clearly told us this was an issue. This is some crazy stuff!<\/p>\n
Another issue remained to tell. It was nervousness. Or anxiety. It\u2019s regarding the future. It\u2019s about my eldest daughter and how I\u2019m not part of her life and not sure I ever will be again. That\u2019s understandable.<\/p>\n
I\u2019d also like to point out that when we hit these issues, the pain on my Bells Palsy side increased. I didn\u2019t realize this until Ellen pointed out that I was holding that side of my face while we were discussing the results.<\/p>\n
Will all of this help with my Bells Palsy? I dunno. Too early to tell. But, I think it\u2019s important to share for those of you out there that also get this affliction and want to explore possible remedies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
