Gimme got her bodywork treatment today. Tonya didn't find anything that would affect the way she was sitting, but did find an area in mid-back that was seriously in need of correction. It took a bit of doing to get it to move. I'm sure that is a holdover from the reason she needed her first sessions last year. So we'll be re-checking that in a couple of weeks and will be keeping an eye on it.
What happened next is where the title for this entry comes from. Tonya also does energy work. I am a huge fan of alternative medicine, but had never experienced any energy work. Though, I've been told that when I do TTouch, I actually move energy (when I worked on a person that was sensitive to it)... but I don't know how that is happening. TTouch isn't designed as energy work.
Anyway, I asked Tonya to check Gimme's energy and let me know if there was anything she could do to help her calm down. Gimme is particularly wild this week. She said that any calming affect wouldn't show up right away and might take more than one session.
She checked Gimme and said her energy around her head, neck and shoulders were fine. She said to that point she was very balanced. Then about mid-back, right where her back was stuck, there was a small amount that she needed to work on.
When she got farther back on her spine, her hands were just drawn to the hip and thigh of the leg that Gimme is holding oddly in her sits. She said Gimme had a "huge ball of stuck energy" on the inside of that thigh. Up to this point, Gimme had been her usual fidgety self. But when Tonya started working that area to release that stuck energy, suddenly Gimme got very calm (at least compared to what she'd been like thirty seconds before). She described the stuck energy as "very dark". I asked her if that meant dark as in Darth Vader. She said it means that it had been built up and stuck there for a long time. She said the stuck energy isn't uncomfortable or painful in any way, but that it can make some things feel "unnatural".
Anyway, when she finished, Gimme stood up and wagged her butt... and then offered a sit for the remaining treats. The sit was flawless, everything in its right place and perfectly balanced! I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it.
BTW cross your fingers and any body parts you can spare. We leave at o'dark-thirty tomorrow to drive to Oregon for the ORT.
