> but I'm a little more interested in what the intuitive had to say. Did she have any take on what happened? Since she witnessed it and in effect triggered it, surely she would have some insight.
She really didn't say anything. She tends to keep things to herself unless you ask. But yeah, I can guess what she was thinking. She wants me to do Watsu next, which is a similar thing, but in a warm pool. This will make it easier for her, she said. Others have said it's like going back to the womb. Don't know what I think about that. I'm going to try it, although I hate the smell of chlorine and I look like a huge grape in the new bathing suit I had to get due to weight gain.
>Was she working with chakras? From what little I know, it sounds like this happened when working with the base chakra, which is the family of origin and is tied to feeling secure and grounded, if you're into all of that. It also seems possible because she said your energy wasn't flowing and if your first chakra is closed, nothing else is open either. Will you go back to her?
I admit I didn't really know why she was doing what she was doing. I tend to just focus on the experience and try to keep my brain out of it. As scary as it was last time, I really trust her. She's got this very calming and spiritual presence. What you are thinking sounds right. She definitely does work with chakras. My 3rd is definitely blocked, and she said my head is very heavy, which she interprets as having a lot of energy up there. So perhaps she's focusing on the deficit areas.

> Bessel van der Kolk has written a lot about trauma as it is stored in the body. His article is "The Body Remembers" or "The Body Keeps the Score." I don't remember the title exactly, but easily googled. His theories really ring true for me. It seems like she hit on a very provocative memory stored within you.Yeah I agree. I can think of an adult memory that would fit, but then I should have words for it more. I don't know. I'll look up van der Kolk when I get a bit more time.

Thanks, I will. I've been doing a lot of "therapeutic sleeping". :)gg
