unhinged i've been doing this regularly for years; just how many i've lost count because i view it as a necessity. (it also helps regulate my hormones and and female cycle in a way i don't trust pharmaceuticals to do).

my depression had settled in fiercer than i could recall in recent memory because i had been using meditation to go through_not_around and the things being vomited out of my psyche had needed detoxed for years. decades even for some of it. precisely why meditation teachers preach caution for those of us with trauma histories. releasing all those toxins has unexpected results....things get worse before they get better.

i was telling susie how i felt that day. the regular quick check in consult we did before every session. my voice cracked and tears welled to my eyes when i said 'i thought i was cured but there is no cure for depression. it always comes back.' concern flickered across her face. she added a new needle to my treatment, at the very top of my head near the center.



after that treatment i felt a buoying energy from my lower body lifting my mood up, away from the heavy darkness.

i didn't need to be converted to
the power of these treatments
my years of abstaining from cigarettes
were enough
to hook me
but that may just have been
the most powerful energetic experience
of my life
