Now that
I've been back in Germany for a while, I've had some time to digest and sort
out my impressions. My second journey to the Philippines started on 23 June
2010, after I had been there once already in September 2009 to meet a friend
I've got to know through the Internet.
Well, as it
is, I'm a BodyTalker through and through, and regardless where I go, I'm living
BodyTalk all day. That was also the case in Cebu, a town in the Visayas
Islands.
I had planned to stay for 2 weeks. In the first week my body needed to get adjusted to the climate and the time change. We also found a portable massage table that I could work on and I had all the right bits and pieces for giving sessions.
On my first
visit in September 2009 I had already given some sessions to family members of
my friend. This summer I could start to work on outside people as well, since I
had this portable table now. I started working with a slightly more affluent
family and gave an information afternoon too. People reacted fantastically to
the sessions, so word got out and when I'll come again next, I'll be able to
teach one BodyTalk Access-Course if not more.
Two days
before my return to Germany, a family took me to see their daughter who had
malaria and been admitted to a hospital 3 days earlier. They asked me if I
could give their child a session. I just don't have it in me to say No... even
less so, if little children are involved. So the whole family trekked to the
hospital with me, and there I put my eyes on that little bundle of misery. At
the entry point of her infusion her hand was inflamed and it was just getting
cleaned. Her screams were heartbreaking. You also could see the symptoms of the
malaria on her legs: both of them were extremely swollen and covered with a
tight network of red streaks. The big, round, white mosquito bites were clearly
visible too. I felt if I would touch them, the legs would just explode. I had
no idea what the infusion contained.
After
washing my hands and collecting myself (it's really very different there than
in a German hospital!) I decided to balance the girls' mother first. What I
didn't notice is that during this session some medics had collected and were
watching what I was doing. After the session the mother got up and said her
headache was gone, and she could move her back better again. I hadn't even
known about these issues.
Now the
girl: Under close scrutiny of the staff I gave her a session. No idea how long
it took and what links I used. But I managed to evoke a clear "Ohhh!" in the
staff at the end of the session, as the legs of the little girl had improved by
more than 50%. The medics were in awe - and so was I! I've only ever seen such
a fast reaction in animals so far. I had known that something good would happen
though - it's BodyTalk, isn't it!!? I felt that the girl would be home again in
2 days, and I said as much. That overstretched the imagination of the medics,
as the girl had only been in hospital for 3 days and the minimum stay is more
like 2 weeks - with antibiotics!
There was another little girl in the same room whose mother had watched
everything with big eyes. So I asked her if I should balance her daughter too.
Without a second thought she got everything ready for a session. So I did my
first three balancing session in a hospital in Cebu and it was exciting. Then
we said goodbye and the parents thanked me profusely.
On Saturday
I went back to Germany. While we were busy saying goodbye, the mother of the
little girlphoned to say that her daughter actually was home already, feeling
well. Too much!!! Now her doctor wants to meet me and he asked when I'll be
back. He'd give me a room to work in, as he has enough for me to do. He also
wants to know more about BodyTalk. I'm blown away!!! Would you believe it?!! As
I said, I've got to sort myself out first. I'm already working on this project
with my English teacher, and I'm looking forward to my next stay on Cebu with a
minimum of 2 Access classes and a "sure" job for my time on the Philippines.
I guess my
idea to teach Access anywhere in the world is finally coming true!
