Day 4 issues & experiences

[Journeyman]

Firstly I would like to say a big hello to all forum members I have been reading the forums for a few days and it seems like a really great place.

My wife and I have started the MAP program, we have both been under some enormous stress of late in our lives and we thought that if nothing else the program would teach us to relax which it successfully has and we have both noticed an increase in our daily energy levels since day one. Everything has been going great for the both of us up until day 4.

My wife has a back injury and due to the injury she has little feeling in the toes of both feet. When doing the energy exercise in day 4 she was unable to feel the three middle toes in each foot, She said it was strange and felt like they were not there. Would anyone have any pointers on what my wife can do?

Secondly I would like to share a dream with you that I had on day 3. I was actually awake in my dream and able to think and act (this has only happened about 2 times in my life without waking up) I think its called Lucid dreaming??

Anyway I found myself in a small room which had a green bed in the corner there was also a dark haired woman in the room with me. She was excited that I was awake and told me that if I ever find myself in this room that I would be awake in my dream. She then pointed to the bed and told me to remember it and if I did and saw it again I would awake in my dream, lastly she told me that if I found myself sick for a few days in that bed I interrupted and said I would find myself awake each night, she laughed and replied well at least one night I then began thinking too much and woke up very excited and jotted down the key words in my diary.

Could this woman in my dream be my spirit guide? I never thought I would have one and know very little about them, but she did seem like she was very knowledgeable and was happy to impart it too me she also seemed like she had been waiting for me.

Thanks in advance

Energetically the toes are surely there. I mean, the energy body is complete, even if the physical body would not be. Even more, if the physical body is also complete, but damaged.

The etheric body is heavily intertwined with the workings of your nervous system. Blockages in your etheric body determine how much you can feel, where you can feel, what sensations arise from leading energy, and so on.

A back injury (I assume you have consulted with good physicians and specialist doctors about this?) might mean that blockages have cut off certain key flows at or near the spine. Blockages in one part of the body can affect parts elsewhere.

Since your wife is not doing energy work for a long time, and has little experience either with feeling the energy body or working with her back problem energetically, I'd recommend looking for an energetic healer / acupuncturist to start the healing process. These people might be able to assess the damage done better, locate it and begin healing, and might give you pointers on how to contribute to a healing yourself.

Take good care,
Oliver

Thank you Korpo for your advice. Yes we have seen various doctors about my wifes back injury.

We are looking at getting an appointment with an acupuncturist and will also look into an energetic healer.

The good news is when we did the Day 5 energy work she said she could feel her toes slightly. :D

A little late but welcome, Journeyman. It must be great both of you doing MAP at the same time. I did it 2 years ago and my hubby is now doing it.
MAP will help you increase your dream lucidity-it's part of 'the package', so to speak; so the fact it's already improving is a good thing. I'm also very glad to know your wife is able to feel something in her toes. That shows progress.
Welcome again!

Just to address whether or not this was a spirit guide, my opinion would be that it is. It has happened to me twice before that while I was meditating, my guides showed up and performed healings on me. They are always there waiting for us to make contact with them. Thus, her excitement at seeing you awake.

I have heard many accounts of "Healing Sanctuaries". Some are conscious constructs that we create for the purpose of healing, others have been 'given' by guides. Mine is a forest, but all those I have read about are rooms, like the one you described.

As a side note, green is the color of healing. Perhaps that is why my forest works so well for me, and why your bed was green.

To address the issue of your wife's back; I had a back injury in March. I went to physical therapy, but my improvement leveled off after only the second visit. I had been experiencing the numbness in the toes so an MRI was ordered. Around this time, I discovered sound healing. I started incorporating it into my meditations (listening to the music as I went into trance) and saw amazing improvement in my back, almost imediately I could bend at the waist, something I hadn't been able to do for 3 months. Honestly, I don't know HOW it works. But for me, it did work.

When I listen to the music, I can feel little zaps of energy working on blocks I have all over my body. Here is a link to the site I downloaded the music from. http://didgetherapy.com/DidgeMusic.html Everything on this page are excerps from longer recordings that can be purchased. I just downloaded the excerpts and run them off of my Itunes player. I hope she finds relief.

Wow thanks for all the information Mishell. I think I might have to look up more information about Spirit Guides and Healing Sanctuaries. :D

I will show my wife the Sound Healing link you have provided, thank you.
She has had a back injury for close to two years now and is in constant pain, the medical profession is not able to do much besides subscribe pain killers so we are looking for other forms of healing.
