Hello Richard! I came on to RUclips for something else and saw this new post of yours. Thank you for this message. Seems like it was meant for me to hear. My story has much to do with what you have shared. My first MFR class was in 2010. Haven’t looked back since then in my MT career here in northeast PA. Since March of 2016 I have been dealing with a serious health issue. August 2016 I had my spleen removed. It was just about 9#. My “label” was peripheral Tcell lymphoma. An extremely rare type. I took 5 rounds of chemo and had a stem cell transplant in February 2017 at University of Penn in Philadelphia. I am one of about 5 people to walk through their door with this flavor. Now one piece of advice I have not taken from John is to be treated. I was in good health, no body pain, not anything of extreme trauma I had experienced “in my conscience mind”. While in hospital post transplant, in isolation, I had lots of time to reflect. One day out of the blue I recalled my treatment at TOR during my SES in November 2011. I was vocalizing “pull it out, take it out” using a hand motion over my spleen area. Labeling it, at that time, as a past life experience. What my reflection in 2017 was is that energetically my body was telling me in 2011 of my upcoming health issue. I began to cry and let it out. Forgiveness then began that if I had sought more treatment for myself perhaps this issue could have been resolved. Maybe it was meant to be part of my journey. Still working that one out. My point is that it was such a pivotal moment for me (2017 reflection) and has completely deepened my gratitude, understanding and awareness of MFR. My new “birthday” is February 1st. Looking forward to getting off the remaining meds that are required for one year post transplant. One of them requires me to stay out of the sun. Also, I am looking forward to many treatments for me, for my body, mind and spirit. I asked my care team at UofP if I could be released for MFR. They have released me for massage, acupuncture and more stretching like yoga. One by product of transplant is graft vs host that can effect the deeper layers of the skin and they have asked me not to participate in MFR. I am craving MFR for my healing process like you can’t believe. Since this issue is so rare I have committed to follow my team until February. After that I am jumping in the ocean. I am only about 2-2.5 hours from Malvern. Love your authenticity Richard. I have connected with you since the beginning. Thank you. Final note: I had reiki while receiving my stem cells. It was a beautiful experience. Also have read some studies that implicate how emotions effect CD4 counts. I really feel that MFR will bring those counts up. Merry Christmas to you and your family. God Bless. Denise
