I started seeing Sha in April. It was definitely good to see her back on the mat.
As advised from the doctor, she's not ready for too much of the action physically. And thus, she's into a more therapy and gentle practice on her own.
At the first glance, i noticed her limited movement around her neck area; felt her unsettles somehow.
Before the class, she offered a cup of water. But she forgotten about it and we started the session. At the end of the practice, she remembered about the cup of water. It became a joke!
We chatted for a while, about her body,mental and emotional experiences for the months we'd not met. For so many doctors she went to, could not spot on the root of the problem. Sha knew clearly she's not a " nut case" ( was advised to talk to a therapist due to stress), not into any asthmatic issues ( due to her short of breath, and therefore diagnosed by the doctor). Finally, an MRI scan--- Misalignment of the cervical spine or a herniated disc.
We laughed about how she chucked all those pain-killers pills into the bin. And she'd open herself to alternative healing. Constant stress was building up--- too much multi-tasking, leading to a fear of forgetting what's not done on the list.
Mentioning that she hardly able to get any good sleep, probably once or twice... a year! Though she'd remembered all the things she has to complete everyday, but she'd forgotten about herself.
" i must do something to help her in someway. At least more nights of good sleep in a year", this was my first thought.
We chatted through for another hour or so. I totally appreciated her openness towards me; thoughts that she'd not dare to speak that may oppose the others--- that suppresses and lies at the bottom of her heart.
Pour if she has to, pour out everything she'd got. For all her discomforts is my map--- showing me directions to discover new teaching approaches to rekindle the feeling of comfort for her and others.
