Hello BLF friends
This is how I came to meditation in fact. Truth is I had a small cancer years ago..I felt alright while I had gathered my energy to fight it but I needed the relaxation technique to get on with family life and work. It is a suggestive method.
In fact I was taught to do my own, once trained I can start by saying that my right arm is heavy and I will have conditioned my body..then you go on with different parts of your body and you start again with your right arm being heavy and warm..
I thought this technique may be more useful to some. I still use it in hospital while waiting for an op for example.
One day when I was living in Spain I had to have a gyne op and I was waiting for hours for my turn to go in theatre, no relaxant no pills nothing so I did my autogenic training. Then they moved me in a preparation room where the anesthesist shouted at me in Spanish about having cholesterol!! I mean a sketch, Faulty Towers with John Cleese and Manuel at his best..when she finished, got into theatre, I was still practicing because they put this sheet over your face so you don’t see anything and although I didn’t feel anything I could hear voices with fun things like pass me the scalpel or can I have suction..
Well to add to it all when I was finally in bed sleeping deeply, the surgeon comes by past midnight and said you can go home now. I said I paid for bed and breakast and I’m not moving.
And I was right because recovery was one of the worst I ever had. So never go to the Teknon in Barcelona even if you ever go and live in the city..
Anyway I will post some links for you below
Bea and I WhatsApp from each other’s room 😃 and guess who took her place in bed..
The saga goes on ....
