"feeling" others siezures
Thu, 06/22/2006 - 06:27Topic: Living With Epilepsy - Youth
I am blessed to have certain gifts and one that I found by accident is the ability to tell when the little girl I am an Aide for has a siezure coming.
It may sound strange but I can be near her and feel her aura start, look at her and ask if she is ok and sure enough she wil begin to spiral down.
I say spiral because that is how it feels to me. Like she is spiraling down a black hole and everything fades away to black. There is a definite spinning feeling.
I am now able to sense this spiral and get her into a safe position. She does not have spasms but gets very weak along with having Cerebral Palsey and needs to be sitting and held up.
Does anyone have experience with this "sensing"? I am a Reiki Practitioner/Teacher and my other gifts include clairevoyance, clairesentience, and a weaker ability for mediumship.
Lovea nd light,
Tracey

Lisa,
Of course, I have to start by saying that everyone responds to things differently. I've heard some people say that acupuncture has been very helpful with their seizure management. I am very sensitive to pain, but I have also been told that Chinese acupuncture is much stronger than the Western techniques. Neither refer to what they do as painful, but talk about it as the "strength" of the technique.
I tried it once a week for 4 months. The sessions were about half an hour once the needles are in place. There were a few sessions that were not painful. The cupping was very relaxing. There was one spot in my lower back where the needle hurt very much for just a moment, but then I would feel overwhelmingly emotional and would start sobbing. The acupunturist told me that this was because I had a lot of emotions I was holding in that needed to be let out. Sometimes I would feel much better after the sessions, but other times I would find it very upsetting.
All that said, I would still recommend trying it. You never know what might work for you.
I wish you well.
Reb

Yes we all react differently when it comes to different approaches.
SO I am assuming you had Chinese Acupuncture? HMM I am not sure which one it is that I was going to. The lady is chinese. Not sure if that matters.
Thanks for the info it is helpful.
I still plan to do it later on. It is on my list. I have just a few more things to try and then I am done.
It is a shame that it didnt work for you. Maybe it was too strong too quickly for you.
thanks for the info
take care
Lisa

Reb I am sorry to hear that. I was suppose to start acupunture in July. I am not sure if it is going to happen only because I want to change one of my meds. I would like to try it out soon. I do have some questions for you. How long did you do acupunture? You say it was painful? For each acupuntureist I talk to, says it is not painful. How long were each sessions? And how often did you go to the sessions? thanks for your input Lisa http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/epilepsyapproach/
