Last weekend we drove to Dallas to meet with my friend Andrea and her reiki master to do a soul retrieval for Carrie. For background, souls are ‘lost’ during traumatic events. Part of our core being, our soul, breaks away when it can’t cope with whatever happens. This happens more often when something very traumatic happens but it can be from anything. When we lose part of our self we are impacted the rest of our life because we’re less than what we should be. It can be a source of fear or illness in our life. Since we know Carrie has had some significant traumas and struggled mentally in some areas, we needed to push for this soul retrieval.
It’s Carrie’s personal stuff, but it went well overall. Wiped her out physically, but it took care of the pseudoseizures. With the intense healing her body/mind is able to handle more stress. Unfortunately her straight up epileptic seizures are still hitting her hard. We see the neurologist wednesday when we’ll push to have her admitted. This medicine regimen is definitely not working so she’s sick and still having seizures. They’re impacting her brain and body more than before, so the left side of her body is often numb or limp.
I don’t know what to do to fix this. The valium is already losing effectiveness so she only gets 4 good hours out of 20 mg, which is a lot and should last 8 hours. We’ve stayed out of the ER for a week, but really that’s not that long in normal people time. And now she’s fighting another virus or something which makes everything worse. Hopefully it passes quickly.
Anyway…the process of soul retrieval is one that occurs over time, with the person remembering things as days go on. We spent a few days working on traumas that have haunted her dreams and build her trust again. I’m pretty sure she hasn’t had those nightmares since we were able to do that. She’s still not sleeping well though, so I’m not sure how to make that better. We hoped to get a second round of healing this weekend but the scheduling didn’t work out. Carrie’s mom arrives this upcoming Friday and will be here through the 28th so it’ll be a while before we get back to this healing. At least she’ll have support when I’m at work.
On another note, we took the cats with us since we didn’t want Monkey to miss his insulin injections. We got a hotel room up there and they stayed in the hotel. Unfortunately it was a little too long of a trip and Monkey peed in his carrier. His diabetes isn’t controlled completely yet so he couldn’t hold it that long. Then the next day he got stuck in the box spring which caused some major drama. However, we still need to do this when we drive home for Christmas so it’s a learning process. We figure staying in hotels until we’re at my parents will be cheaper than boarding the cats. It’ll be a complicated process but hopefully we can make it work. Actually, I wonder if we can just keep them in the car while at Carrie’s mom’s place… good thing we have 2 months to think about it.
It’s been a long week, hopefully it doesn’t go too badly.
