Healing intentions & the most amazing description of a surgery that I have ever read.

"Unlike American hospitals, the food was fabulous, cooked to order, and could be anything from gourmet dining to wheat grass juice" (Eden, Energy Medicine for Women, 189).

The book has some very intriguing stories. In one, a mother and daughter met a doctor whose unconventional approach to women's health meant she could not practice in the U.S., so they had to travel to a tiny hospital in Tijuana to get the surgery.  

Energy Medicine for Women: Aligning Your Body's Energies to Boost Your Health and Vitality

Someone had recommended The Artist's Way to me recently, and I found some good stuff in it, but I guessed that my body needs me to learn more about the ways of healers even more...and yet, looking at both books reminds me that medical treatment which includes a healing component can also be another kind of art form...

"The two doctors stitched and stitched, reminding me of a seamstress and a tailor. My appreciation was immense" (Eden, Energy Medicine for Women, 191).

All sorts of amazing things go on in the OR, and then this some of how it ends:

"His arms were outstretched and he placed his head in his forearms. All was silent...He continued in this posture for what I would guess was at least three minutes. Then he stood up, took a breath, and placed the uterus back on Tanya's stomach. At this point, the surgeon told me, 'He is helping the cells in her womb remember what it was like before they were harmed.' She explained that 'cells hold memories!'..."Then she nodded to him, and he again lifted and held the uterus for what seemed to be another three minutes. When he did this, everyone else in the room was in a quiet reverence...This was a most sacred experience...I told the doctor that it looked as if he was praying. Taken aback, he said, 'Well...I was.' Then they placed Tanya's uterus back in the body and did the final stitching." (Eden, Energy Medicine for Women, 192).

How wonderful can people be to themselves & to one another when they are guided by healing intentions?
