Most of those who grew up in the Western world, know
about Chicken Little. The folktale reminds us how foolish we can be when we
panic. Chicken Little begins calling out “The sky is falling, the sky is
falling, it hit me on the head!” when an acorn falls on his head.
Convinced the world is at great risk, he journeys to tell
the King. Along the way, he incites fear in others (interestingly, the others
are mostly fowl) who also join in the wild goose chase. The not-so-happy ending
has these foolish creatures being lured into his lair and eaten by Foxy Loxy.
The happy ending version has the chick receive a warning, just in the nick of
time.
As is the case with other fables, truth resonates from
this story, and I saw it first hand when a friend was able to overcome fear and
activate her innate healing ability.
We were riding bikes when we stopped to watch a remote-control
power boat racing wildly. The wind was strong, and her bike was light. It
toppled over so quickly it took all of us by surprise. Thinking the worst of
the event was the mirror hanging downward on the end of her handlebar, the guys
rode on. As she started to get back on her bike, however, she noticed a VERY
large “goose egg” on her calf.
The hematoma was already dark, and growing darker by the
moment.
“Let’s do energy work on it now,” I was off my bike and heading
her way. We both started doing Healing Touch™ on her leg.
I was also wishing I had some Arnica Montana (an amazing
homeopathic remedy with the nickname bruises),
and some Rescue Remedy (Bach Flower essence for trauma relief). I carry both in
my purse, but I only had my fanny pack.
“If I had my purse here, I would give you some remedies,”
I started, “so let’s have you take them energetically.”
In a way it is just like using your imagination. You know how it is to imagine biting into a lemon wedge
and your cheeks will react? Our bodies cannot tell the difference between
reality and imagination. That is why your stomach will do a flip flop watching
a video of a rollercoaster.
She imagined having the remedies as we finished up the Healing Touch™ work. When the guys came back to
see what was taking us so long, the egg-sized knot was almost completely gone!
Looking
at her leg and listening to her tell the guys, “There had been a knot as big as
a large egg, but it has already gone down!” I remembered having worked with my
grandson after a bike injury when he said the worst part about having me work
with him was that his dad would never believe how badly he had been hurt!

We all got back on our bikes and finished the ride along a linear park with many turtles, fish, and water fowl. The wind was at our backs and the sun was warm on our faces, and we had an amazing time together out in nature.
Last
evening I received a message from her saying that when she rubbed her hand over it, she could
not feel any knot! Here is her self-report from this morning: “Leg is soooo much better today. Did spin
class this a.m. and now am on the way to do some grocery shopping.”
I wrote back these three words, “Grateful, grateful, grateful…”
I am grateful I learned this stuff. I am grateful it works. I am grateful she was willing to remember that the sky is not falling.
My only regret is that we did not take pictures!
