Luminosity…
Many years ago, when I was still a young psychotherapist/hypnotherapist, I worked with a teacher whose heart was broken by her itinerant lover…,
She was a young and beautiful woman,
And, as she lay there on the couch, one day,
Tears softly adorning her face,
My heart went out to her…,
To my great joy, we had a major breakthrough that afternoon after several months of therapy,
Notice, I said we, for, therapy is always a collaborative effort,
One side alone, can never honestly take credit,
As the therapist, you reach out across the proverbial misery-river-Styx,
And you hope against hope, especially when you’re young and inexperienced as I was,
That your proffered hand will be accepted,
And that the healing will begin…,
Fortuitously for me, my extended hand was accepted and grasped, and the healing began…,
The joy I felt in my heart when she called me a few hours later to tell me how she was floating on ‘cloud nine’, cannot be measured or described…
Right this minute, a couple of decades later, I’m still ‘plying-my-trade’,
This time on my own wounded psyche,
I too, feel on ‘cloud-nine’, after a very soothing self-hypnosis session where I try to become one with light,
Aaahhh…, what a feeling…,
What bliss…,
I thought by sharing it with my friends on this corner, I may hang onto this nirvana a little longer,
Wishing you all whatever elixir you’re personally seeking my fellow-poets…,
Till next time…

This does not surprise me in the least, I bet it was not just your hand that healed, I bet it was looking into your lovely trusting honest to goodness face that did it.
Thank you for sharing EGT
This is a tale to lift the spirits - there are times when it seems
the entire planet is beset with bad news. The elixir we seek may at times prove elusive, but your uplifting narrative proves that it is in no way unattainable.
Kindest regards...

it's wonderful to help someone in their need EGT, and equally good a feeling when one accepts they also needed help at times. Self help it may be, but again, it is an achievement...towards healing......niah
thanks for your lovely comment dear Niah...

I think because you care that makes you a good and natural healer, an acupuncturist that I attended some years ago cared too - her healing sessions left her drained and she could only do so much each week. Perhaps your wounded psyche is just you working and giving too much of yourself away too fast. If you burn out you are no help to anyone EGT - But it must be a very good feeling when your efforts are rewarded. Thanks for sharing
you're very right, dear friend, very right, point taken...
