Matrix Repatterning Treatment 9

Monday July 16, 2012

As Matrix Repatterning treatments wind down, I almost begin feeling that there will be something missing in my life, when I eventually stop coming for sessions.  I truly enjoy feeling the healing from the hands of Margaret who has become more than a practitioner, but a friend.

Update:  While discussing symptoms since my last treatment.  I noticed that the lump on my left hand had diminished a lot.  Only a little noticeable lump was still a visible.  Yeah!

Symptoms since my last Matrix sessions are as follows.  I am actually surprised that I did have as many issues as I did.  I was expecting them to diminish, however due to the great tension throughout my female parts, I have experienced a few more symptoms that seem to have unraveled.
After getting home from last weeks treatment, I felt a lot of pressure in my uterine area.  I had to hold my belly because it felt like I was going to lose all of my insides.  The pain was enough to make me bend over, but only lasted 30 minutes or so.  And I was still able to walk about doing things, although with not much comfort.
I also had trouble with my right elbow being stiff, with no pain though.
Two times throughout last week and again this morning I felt a jolt of pain go across my lower back.  \
Also my shoulder on the right side of my body, the injured one, was still aggravating me at times, especially when I over use it at my job, when I work above my head.
This one is interesting.  The last symptom I felt was could have been either from digestion or I felt myself ovulating.  I felt a lot of pressure around the left ovary area all throughout this past week.  Whenever I had a full bladder, which would press against my left ovary area, I would feel a lot of pressure and mild pain.  I thought maybe it had to do with my large intestine sitting so close to that ovary, that when I needed to eliminate it would push against my ovary too.  Not sure, but I know it was around the time I should be ovulating too, so maybe a little of everything.


Today's treatment began like all of the rest.  Margaret recorded my symptoms and then we got right into the treatment.  As a lot had unravelled during the last session, Margaret wanted to do a full body scan because once a large fully charged area was treated, this may affect other areas of the body and recharge them.  After all the entire body is one and everything is connected.
So she adjusted her electrode to the indicator ribs and began.  She first placed the electrode on my foot and pressed on my ribs.  Moving to the other foot and pressed.   Next were my lower legs, upper legs, hands and arms.  All felt nice and solid under Margaret's hand on the indicator.  My right shoulder blade gave a squish on the indicator while my spine was fine.  My head and face were all fine too.  Now my diaphragm, uterus, large intestine and ovary (on the left side of my body) all gave a soft result on my ribs, indicating that there were still issues with these areas.   There was still some unresolved tension that needed treating.
Margaret said, that I guess I will be getting another treatment.  Yeah!  I love getting healed and feel my body unravel.  She also said that my body must  be unravelling in layers as my uterine area needed more work.
She explained to me that the insides of the body is covered with something only explained like a saran wrap coating everything internal, surrounding all of the organs, muscles and bones.  This wrap is called the body's fascia (definition below) When one area of the body has been 'discharged' and was closely connected with another part of the body, like how my uterus is linked with my ovary, even though the uterus was treated my ovary may still have been pulling on the uterus.  And now the ovary and the uterus must be treated again to allow for the tension to be released. As in my case.   Now there could be layers of injuries on a particular bodily area which builds up this fascia wrapping, as a protective barrier.  So again as in my case, Margaret will be treating my uterus  and ovary area again because there must be multiple layers needing treatment to release all of the built up tension.

definition of fascia of the body

Margaret began treatment with what she called the 'baby maker', rather than focusing on my right shoulder.  Which I was all for since I am going on holidays for 2 weeks and will miss out on seeing her, and I wanted to keep all possibilities of conceiving open.  But again, if I don't conceive, I am okay with that. 

All of today's treatment consisted of focusing on the some of the right and mainly the left side 

of my uterus and ovary and intestinal areas.  My bladder was affected as well, because 

it just happened to be within the same area.

Before she began placing her hands for treatment, she showed me how little movement I have 

on the left belly area than I have on my right side belly area.    

The right side was all good after only 10 minutes or so of being treated and rechecked.  The 

left side however was still very tense and tight.  When Margaret pressed her fingers 

near my left ovary area, it was actually quite painful.  She moved her fingers aside a 

bit as to not place pressure directly on the painful spot and proceeded to place 

gentle pressure.  She needed to hold the area for about 5 minutes for each spot, I 

was extremely tense in this particular area.  

Many layers needed to be discharged, like the 'saran wrap' fascia was twisted and 

needed to be unravelled.  Many spots were painful to the touch in the left area, which I 

suppose I shouldn't have been surprised,  whenever I touched the area myself, it felt 

like a rock and was so tight.  All body parts should flow and not be rock hard.  Like a 

baby, who is limp and limber, that is how our body should be in a sense, and not 

tight and tense.  Margaret was sure to be careful not to hurt me during the 

treatment.  I asked her not to stop when she lifted her hands to move to another 

area.  She apologized and happily explained that she needed to shift her fingers 

somewhat to get a better release going.  I could feel such relief during the treatment.  

At one point we both felt a huge release.  To me it felt like there was a marble 

attached to my left ovary and the marble just dropped away.  What a strange but 

really good feeling.  

Moving on to my left large intestine area right beside my ovary, I felt the same kind 

of pain when initial pressure was placed on the area.  After a quick recheck she moved 

on to my uterus.  

When treating the uterus area today, Margaret pointed out that it had shifted down to 

where it was supposed to be.  She was treating it at a lower area on my body. 

During the first treatment of my uterus it was located just below my belly button and now 

it was being treated directly in between my belly button and my pelvic bone.   Right 

around the proper location it should be in.  Margaret placed one hand on my pelvis 

bone and the other on a 45 degree angle pressing downwards into my belly.  By 

placing both hands in these places, she felt she could get a better release going as 

the energy was moving in a triangular motion, focusing right towards the charged 

uterus area.  The uterus was in its rightful place, however something was still pulling 

on it to cause tension as it showed up again today as an issue.  Hopefully today 

most of the tension was resolved.   But I think there is still more work to be done 

on the insides of my left belly.  I believe there are still issues in there.   I still feel a 

lot of tightness.  

That's okay, that is for next time.

For now,

Be Well,

:)

Matrix Repatterning Treatment 8

  Monday July 9, 2012

Wow, treatment 8 already!

Today's treatment session is how Matrix Repatterning got started and what it was all about for me.  

Today, besides a few other smaller body parts, my uterus was treated.  Yeah! finally!  Baby making time, here I come.  My husband and I have been trying to conceive for about 8 years now.  We have tried several infertility treatments without any results.  My acupuncturist, which I started seeing after the fertility treatments failed told me I had a lot of tension in my digestive area.  Which all make sense now, because my uterus was pushing against them.  

I will explain.....

But first my symptoms from last Monday's treatments.  Only two small symptoms.  First I had a bit of a soar right shoulder which I aggravated at work because I was working above my head with heavy items.  And the second symptom was a pain in my head, at the back of my head on the right side.  This was probably due to the right side shoulder tension that I created.  Way to go me!  I push a bit harder at my job and hurt myself more.  What is a girl to do!!!!

So that's it, only two little symptoms.  They seem to be getting less and less with every treatment.  

On to today's treatment.  

My left hand still has that hard lump on it so Margaret treated my wrist and my hand around the lump first.  I am to keep an eye out on it to see if it gets smaller and/or goes away.  Can do!  

Next was the piece de resistance.  My uterus!!!  I know sounds strange that I was actually excited to have my uterus worked on but I have every right to.  I want to conceive again.  My son now is 17.  For about 11 years now I have wanted another child.  Even before my husband and I got married I stopped taking my birth control pills so I could rid my body of any and all chemicals, became vegetarian and also began to eat really healthily.  I wanted to have a clean and healthy body for myself and for my next pregnancy.  After we were married, it was on.  But no baby.  After 2 years, we went through three IUI ( intera uterine insemination) fertility treatments.  This is were they inject the sperm right into the uterus at my most fertile time of the month.  After three failed IUI's.   Chris and I decided to try one more time.  This time we went all out and tried the InVitro Fertilisation.  This is where the sperm is injected directly into the egg and fertilised outside of the body in a petri dish. Once fertilised for a maximum of 5 days, the embryo is then placed into the uterus in hopes to attach to the uterine wall and become a fetus and eventually a baby.  This also failed.  I know why now.  Then I didn't.  And it was extremely heartbreaking, not to mention costly.

  

Today during the treatment of my uterus, Margaret explained a lot of things to me.  Like, that my uterus sat 1" higher than it should have been which was putting lots of pressure and especially tension on all of my surrounding body parts like my digestive system and my ovaries.  My kidney's and spleen which were already treated had a lot of this tension placed on them as well from my uterus.  Now the reason my uterus sat so high and was enlarged, was from my first child.  Dylan, my son had stretched out my uterus and it didn't go back to its normal size.  Also my kidney's and spleen were out of place as well, not helping my uterus any.  Anyway, the reason the fertility treatments failed was because my uterus was all stretch and tension and not relaxed and normal.  Any embryo would have had a difficult time attaching to a uterine wall that was all stretched and tense.  There was no where to grab and hold on to.  Therefore no attachment occurred and no baby!  Well, today, Margaret treated this tense uterus and in the process of doing so, worked the bladder and ovaries as well.   Maybe now i also won't have to go to the bathroom so often either and my ovary will go back to its original normal position as well.

  

During the many ultrasounds taken at the fertility clinic, the technician always had a difficult time locating my left  ovary.  It was always out in left field, she would say.  Well, not anymore.  Thanks to Margaret and her Matrix Repatterning, my ovaries and uterus, bladder and my digestive system are all happy and tense free.  Aaaaahhhh!  So relieved.  

Margaret made sure to check with the indicator and her electrode ( metal electrical machine) to find all of the charged areas of my uterus.  The indicator, where she pressed with one hand while pressing with her other hand on a particular area of my uterus went extremely squishy, indicating that this area was extremely charged and needed some healing hands.  She treated the area and continued until every corner of my uterus was fully discharged. And rechecked them again to make sure all of the charged areas had dissipated.

That being done,  she moved on to finish my right shoulder.  

Margaret finished with my right shoulder, especially discharging the shoulder blade area.  She placed her hands on either side and with gentle pressure and waited until the electrical pulses stopped between them.  Moving her hands in a different position and waited again.  She rechecked with her electrode and the indicator to make sure all was well, and no longer squishy.  Then completed the left shoulder in the same manner.   Before we both knew it,  an hour had passed.  

Yeah!  I get to go for another treatment.   Oh, getting healthy feels so good.  My spine still needed a little more help and then my stomach.  And a recheck of my fingers too.  Lastly a full assessment  to check over my entire body and its flexibility and movement.  

Update:  My right finger still has not gone down.  It continues to have a thick middle.  

              My right shoulder didn't swell at all.  Just ached a bit one time.
              And my right knee no longer hurts. 

              I don't have to use any anxiety medication anymore either.  

One more thing.   After I got home today, after the Matrix treatment, I walked into the house I felt some discomfort in my uterine and digestive system area.  It's all in the same general area anyway.  So I think everything was just moving into its original positions as I had finally stood up for a longer period of time since the treatment.  Laying down during treatment and sitting in the car for the drive home.  So still no vertical gravitational pull occurred until I was finally at home standing in my living room at home.  I had to place my hands to almost hold my belly due to the discomfort.  Thankfully this feeling only lasted a few moments.  

Okay, until next time,

Matrix Repatterning Treatment 7

                                                                                                                     Wednesday July 4,2012

Wow, treatment 7 already.
So much has been happening to my body and all for the better.

Some of the symptoms I experienced since treatment 6 last week weren't too severe at all.  I had a little bit of a tweak in my lower back one day and a soar right knee another day and that's about it.
Also, more fault of my own, but I did get a light headiness spell where I had to sit and let my body and head recollect itself before I began tasks again.  I actually just wanted to sit and not move, even tears ran down my face that I couldn't control.  See, I hadn't had much to eat or drink that morning when I played and experimented with Matrix Repatterning on my 20 year old niece's feet and toes.  Turns out I drained all of my energy stores concentrating so much during the "treatment".  Thankfully this spell didn't last long, maybe a total of 10 minutes or so.  Then I was up and at 'em again.    
So, other than that little spell, I barely conveyed any other symptoms.  Awesome, my body must be healing on super quick mode now.  I suppose there isn't that much more left to heal after all.

On to today's treatment....
To finish up the left side organs, kidney area, Margaret checked with my rib indicator and her metal electrical machine and noticed that my left kidney was okay, but that my spleen needed adjusting instead.  So she placed both her palms just under my spleen and pressed gently, holding her hands in place for as long as it took to discharge the area.  After another check, the left side was complete and finished.  Although during my last treatment my left kidney did show that it was 'charged',  today it had not because of all of the release my right side organs endured, corrected some of the left side organs.  The right side could have just been pulling the left side for support.  But once the right side was healed, the left side seemed to release all on its own.

Next, on to my arms.  My right arm was treated first.  She checked with the indicator which area of my arm was most charged.  This is what was to be treated first as this may correct the other areas of the arm just by treating the highly charged areas first.   Finally my injured  right shoulder was being treated.  Yeah!  Although a little soar to the touch on certain areas, Margaret placed her hands on opposite sides of my shoulder in several directions and holding with gentle pressure until all was released.  Aaaah! That's better!  I felt tension release from my the muscle connecting my neck and shoulder too.  I'm sure I will swell a bit.  I will keep an eye on this.

My right baby finger, the one that has the lump on it (probably from my knuckle cracking when I was younger), was now being treated.  She pressed my finger from many directions left and right, top and bottom, front and back using only her fingers.  Again holding in place until all was released.  Unfortunately the lump had not gone down after the release, but I will be watching this finger closely as I really want this finger to go back to normal.

After a check with the metal electrically charged machine, my upper right arm and lower right arm was treated and after a quick recheck with the rib indicator, all was well.

One more check before the end of today's session was my right knee, once again.  It had been treated a few times already.  Sometimes areas in the legs become charged again as other areas of the body area released.  Remember a body is a whole, so everything is connected.   The legs and feet must always be released of charges as they area the ground to the body.  My right knee had been a bit soar once during the last week, so Margaret checked which area of my knee had the issue and treated it accordingly.  After a quick recheck, today's treatment had come to an end.

I was told that I only have two more treatments left and then I'm done.  Noooo! not yet I like getting healed!
Oh well, I will enjoy it while I can.

Stay Healthy,
Eat Well,

Matrix Repatterning Treatment 6

  Tues. June 26, 2012

All I have to say today is WOW !
I feel such a release from today's treatment.

But let me begin as usual with the symptoms I felt since my last treatment.  My pelvis was treated last appointment so I thought maybe I would have some issues around my pelvis bones, but I was wrong.
I had several jolts of what felt like a lightning bolt in my right breast,  ( sorry, I know kind of personal, but maybe there's a connection as I have never felt these before, that I can remember anyway.) after the treatment and again the next day.  My lower back was sore, which I found out today was a connection with my kidneys.  3 days after my last appointment I woke up with a headache and tight again between my shoulder and neck on the right side of my body.  4 days after the appointment I wound up with a migraine.  But on a positive note,  I noticed that I hadn't taken and anxiety meds since my head was treated 3 weeks ago.  Huge bonus for me.  Finally some relief.

So on to today's session.  Margaret began  by completing the left side of my pelvis bones as she had said I had had enough during the last treatment and she would finish next time.  She pinpointed the 'charged' areas and treated them as I laid on my right side while she worked on my left.
After the pelvis was completely discharged, I laid on my back and today's treatment was under way.        My organs were priority today.  How she was going to manipulate them back to normal was beyond me, but here goes.
So laying on back, Margaret pinpointed using her metal charged machine and her hand on my indicator ribs.  She found which area was the most charged or squishy and treated those first.
My diaphragm which is in between my rib cage was treated first.  She gently pushed my top left and my top right rib cages together with her palms and held them there until the charge was released.                                    
Next came my ribs.  I laid on my left side while Margaret checked each rib at the back of my right rib cage.  Pressing on each one and checking with the indicator.  She gently again placed pressure with her palms on the front and back of my ribs pressing them together.  She began at the bottom of my rib cage and worked up to the top.
Next, when the ribs were all released on the right side I was asked to flip onto my back again and she would now release my right kidney and move on to my liver.  The ribs needed to be released before the organs.  Almost like treating the outside before moving inward.  She said that both kidneys needed to be treated and this was probably due to a fall or several falls onto my bum as a child.  Both sides showed a very squishy indicator. These falls made the kidneys literally 'drop' and so she placed one hand as best she could under my right kidney and gently pressed up, while her other hand was resting on my ribs.  This didn't hurt although it felt a bit weird because she was digging in a bit.  She did the same with the liver.  Did her rechecks to make sure all was released and moved on.
Next was my left side ribs.  Feeling kind of like a fish out of water, I flipped again, this time back onto my right side.   When she poked at each rib to check which ones needed treating,  I had many tender to the touch lower back ribs (Omg! Now I sound like food!)  She began at the bottom ribs again and worked up.  During this time, and throughout my left back rib cage treatment,  I felt a twitch every now and then in my left arm.
Finishing the left side back ribs, which didn't hurt at all during the treatment, she moved onto my spine.  Well, let me tell you, this was an amazing experience.  As the ribs were treated, so was my spine.  She began pinpointing the weak areas starting at the base of my spine and working up to my neck.  While treating my lower spine, this time she had to use an elongated cylinder bean bag pillow to put under my bum pelvis bone and pressed up with her hand while pressing down with her other hand on my lower spine.  Omg!  My entire pelvis was moving.  Like the hands ticking on a clock, my left pelvis bones were shifting more forward almost toward my right side pelvis bones.  What a strange feeling.  What a releasing feeling!  After today's treatment Margaret told me that my lower spine area was actually treating my cervical area because that particular spot connected the cervix to my spine.  Yeah! pelvis released, cervix now released.  Ahhh, life is good!!! 
A strange happening went on again when the upper spine was being treated.  Both of Margaret's palms on either side of my spine were gently pressing together.  I was just laying there on my right side relaxing, being worked on and next thing I know, my head started to 'tick' up. My chin lifted and my head tilted back.  My throat opened up and I could breath so much easier.  So amazing to have my body react this way.  The feeling is both strange and amazing at the same time.
And as she said that was enough for today, I sat up and began to move my head around so freely, like I had no tension in my neck at all.  That's a good feeling.  Again, I was released.  I was breathing deeper and felt very alive.  Strange to say, but true.
Margaret mentioned that I may notice these shifted bones more when I walk.  And that I will be breathing more deeply.  She released my diaphragm which was pinched and this opened up my esophagus or breathing (and eating) tubes.
Can't wait for my next appointment.  It's coming up  next week.  I'll keep you posted.  I think maybe my stomach might be next.  And I have to drink 500ml - 750ml of fluid because she needs a fluid filled organ to work on it and she will only have a 10 minute time span to complete this treatment.  That will be some adventure I'm sure.
Until next time,

Stay Healthy,
Eat Well,

Gluten Free Strawberry Jam

Yeah!! It's STRAWBERRY Season.

I have gone strawberry picking twice already this season and loving all of the sweet, ripe, juicy red berries.    I searched the Internet for some healthy recipes so I can use all of these delicious strawberries.  I came across the easiest strawberry jam ever using only 3 ingredients.  This recipe used honey, chia seeds and of course fresh strawberries.
I happen to have chia seeds in the cupboard but also had psyllium husk in there as well.  Both chia seeds and psyllium have thickening properties because of how they drink in any liquid and can double or triple their size easily.  I brought out both and began to experiment.
The psyllium husk ended up thickening the strawberry jam not only faster but this batch came out way thicker than the chia seed jam, which turned out runny no matter how many seeds I stirred in.  My psyllium strawberry jam has lots of fibre too.  Keep the good food a comin'.


EASY GLUTEN FREE STRAWBERRY JAM

INGREDIENTS

2 cups fresh strawberries, washed and  hulled
2 Tablespoons honey ( I used about 1/4 cup or so      because my strawberries weren't as sweet as I'd like. And I like a bit of a sweeter jam)
3 Tablespoons psyllium husk



INSTRUCTIONS

wash and hull all of the strawberries

Place about 3 - 4 cups whole strawberries in a food processor. 

 Process until desired jam consistency.  I like mine pretty smooth with only a few little chunks.  You can make your jam as smooth or chunky as you like.

Measure the processed strawberries into a bowl and add the honey and psyllium husk.  

Stir well to make sure all ingredients are incorporated well.  Let stand for about 20 - 30 minutes.

Meanwhile wash and dry all of the jars and lids.

Once jam is set, spoon into clean jars and close with clean lids.  Label.

Jam can be stored in the fridge for 2-3 weeks (if it lasts that long) or frozen for up to 6 months.

Yummy, no cook, gluten free strawberry jam.  Soooo good!  Spread on bread, spoon some over ice cream or stir into some yogurt.  Enjoy.

Fresh is Best.
Eat Well,
:)

Matrix Repatterning Treatment 5

                                                                                                                          Monday June 18, 2012

I have been out of the Matrix Repatterning scene for a little while because I have had the flu and a sinus and chest cold.  It was better that I recoup from this illness before I go further with my treatments as my immune system was down far enough.
I am better now, although not 100%, but I am finally better.

My treatment today began as all of my previous treatments.  Margaret, my Matrix "practitioner" asked if I had experienced any symptoms since the last treatment over 2 weeks ago.  I had recorded them and began....
To recap, my head, mainly the back of my head, was the main focus of my last treatment session.  I thought that maybe there would have been a lot of symptoms because the head is the power house to the body, but the symptoms I felt weren't so bad.
I had a slight headache during my drive home, but it had diminished by the time I arrived home about 30 minutes later.  Margaret said I may have some lightheadedness from time to time because the bones in my head had been mildly shifted back into place.  I did have a bit of this lightheadedness only once when I was sitting on the couch, but that's it.
Another headache started  late in the afternoon.  I was told that if I had a headache that lasted for 24 hours that I need to call Margaret and return to her immediately to have her adjust a few points on my head.  I took some Tylenol and went to bed.  By the time morning came, I was okay again.
The next day I felt a jolt of pain in my chest mainly on the left side and had some heavy breathing.  I have had this pain before.  I asked my family doctor about it and she said it was the muscles in my chest that were tightening due to a stressful situation.  Its very painful.  Thankfully the pain wasn't as severe at it had once been, Matrix seems to bring back only slight pain or soreness.

I noticed that the lump on my left hand had returned after being gone for many years.  It is hard to the touch. Not sure what it is.  Margaret thinks it's part of the tendon in my hand.  I remember getting it for the first time when my hand bent to far one time.  We will get to that part of my body at another appointment.  It was not hurting me and didn't bother me in any way so that was fine with me.

lump on my bent left hand, between fingers and wrist.
Doesn't seem so big in this picture,  sadly larger in life.

On Saturday,  2 days after my last appointment, I felt very sore on my upper spine area, especially when I leaned my head forward and down.  This pain woke me up a few times during the night.  I felt like my car accident in 2001 was repeating itself all over again, but of coarse not near as severe.  I also felt very tight between my left neck and shoulder area and developed another headache that evening. This was the onset of my illness not the symptoms from Matrix anymore.

Sunday was when my flu symptoms started, you know the usual cold/hot sweats, sore throat etc.  I guess my immune system was down far enough for me to catch this nasty bug working on healing everthing else.  I did notice though that on Sunday, I continued to have tightness between my left neck and shoulder area still.  But after Sunday,  I had been ill, so I hadn't noticed anymore symptoms, just my sick.  Margaret did record however that my illness was in my sinus area and my chest.  Maybe to reference that those are my weak areas and may be treated at a later date too.

Okay, today's treatment......
Seems like my legs, which are my body's electrical ground, are first checked before any other part of my body is to be treated.  I suppose that would be a good place to begin, if there isn't a ground, it is unlikely that I will have a correct amount of electrical current flowing through all of the appropriate parts of my body.  I was to lay on my back with my hands at my sides on the table.  Margaret prepared her indicator spot on my ribs and adjusted her electrical current machine, as she pressed on my ribs until she noticed the proper amount of pressure needed was under her hand.
With my knees bent, she placed the metal current on different parts of each leg and pressed on the indicator to see if it felt tough or soft.  I heard her say good many times quietly to herself.  This was reassuring that all is well where my legs are concerned.  I did mention to her though that I feel like I walk different now.  She said that I probably do because she shortened my right leg back to normal by compressing most bones back to normal size that had been injured in the past, and now both of my legs were the same length.
The reason the bones were enlarged is from injury.  The cells within a bone are normally  loosey goosey and move around freely.  Once an injury, a bump of any sort to the bone occurs, the cells become very hard and rigid and group together creating an enlarged area, thus an enlarged bone.  My MRI of my right shoulder showed an enlarged bone.  This is the shoulder that I hurt during a booty camp fitness class back at the end of February.  Not surprised.  Now I know why!  And this can be corrected using Matrix Repatterning as my healer.
Margaret also checked the bones under my bum and to the left and right of my pelvis and determined that the right side of my pelvis needed today's attention first.  


My pelvis area was today's focus.  Hopefully, once all of the tension is released from my pelvis I will be able to conceive.  Several infertility treatments from the past two years, three IUI's and an InVitro session did nothing for me.  But again, if we don't conceive, I will still be happy because Margaret has healed years of injury from my entire body, and has taken much needed tension away.  


So I was to lay on my left side, a bean bag pillow between my arms and a pillow between my knees.  She used my ribs again to pin point specific areas needing treatment.  She placed pressure on certain points all over my right side higher pelvis bone with her right hand and held it in place, as she pressed a few times on the rib indicator with her left hand.  If the indicator went soft and squishy, the area under her right hand would need to be treated.  After each area was healed, when she didn't feel any more current between her hands no matter what the distance apart they were, that area was now complete and 'discharged'.
An injured area is full of current and therefore 'charged' up.  Once that 'charge' is released, all is well and returns to normal.  As a reassurance, using the indicator , all treated areas were checked and all was well before moving on to the next injured area.

Many angles of my right pelvis bone were worked on, from my tail bone to the tip and bottom of my pelvis bones and the socket were my pelvis and leg bones meet.  A huge area she pointed out on one of her 2D pictures hanging on the wall.

I felt my left arm twitch a bit again this session as my right pelvis bone was being treated, but knowing that my wire bra during past sessions created loads of electrical current to bounce around all over the place  making me twitch like a crazy person, I was sure to not wear anything that had an under wire.  So only a bit of twitching today, nothing crazy.

She spent what I thought was a few minutes on each area before moving on to my right lower pelvis area.  Margaret said I was responding quickly to each treatment today.  I could have easily fallen asleep during the right side treatment.  
Before I knew it, she asked me to lay flat on my back again.  This time to begin working on the left front pelvis bone.  Again using my rib indicator to locate areas that needed treatment and rechecking after completion, the left side was now complete as well.  The left side didn't have as much damage only  a bit that radiated from my right side falling injuries.  As she had worked on my left side, I felt tingling, like electrical current moving in my face mostly on the left side as well.  Almost like a C-shape, starting from the left of my nose and making its way under my eye, around my eye and up toward my forehead.   
The hour was almost up already.  She did one more check.  She pressed and moved her fingers back and forth with both hands on my muscle between my middle and right pelvis bones and then to the middle and left pelvis bones.  The muscles on both sides were very soft and squishy.  Just how they are supposed to be.  Finally the tension was released.  I  had noticed for quite some time now that the left muscles especially were very tough and hard to the touch.  Not anymore.  Another part of my body has been healed.  Yeah!    


She wanted to check the range on motion of my legs.  So while I was still laying on my back she took my left bent leg and pushed it toward my chest.  Very good range of motion more than the very first time. My knee almost touched my chest.  The same was done to my right side.  Now with my knees bent and my heels in line, the height of my knees was checked.  My right knee was again slightly higher than my left.  Margaret localised an issue to be my knee cap and proceeded to apply pressure with her hands to different parts of my knee cap.  Left and right and then upper and lower parts of my knee cap.  After a few more minutes today's treatment had come to an end.  

As Margaret was placing pressure at various points on my right pelvis bone always pressing toward the other hand, I had remembered falling more than a few times while trying to ice skate as a kid and of coarse always falling toward my strong side.  This happens to be my right side as I am right handed.

My next treatment focuses on my organs.  Not sure how Margaret is going to perform her Matrix Repatterning on them.  I'm a bit anxious and excited all at the same time.  The healing continues to move up my body.  My organs aren't bones though.  Really curious as to how these will be healed.  I had said in an earlier post that my kidney's needed attention, I guess that treatment will have to wait until next time.  I'll keep you posted.

KALE CHIPS

Oh yeah!.... Kale Chips!

These little green wonders are Fantastic.  They actually taste like real chips without the potatoes, calories and Fat!!!

I have made these a few times in the past months.  When my husband Chris tried them for the first time he thought they weren't bad and nibbled on a few, and I finished off the rest of the tray.
Today when I make them, I end up only having a few nibbles because Chris devours the entire tray for himself.
He is the biggest sceptic I know.  So, if he's willing to eat these yummy Kale Chips like there's no tomorrow than I'm sure you will enjoy these too.

Yummy Kale, ready to eat in my garden

It all starts with some Kale leaves growing in my garden.
Here's the recipe, you won't be disappointed.  And they are much more cost efficient with less fat than any kale chips you can purchase at a store.


INGREDIENTS
1 large bunch of Kale or 2 small bunches
1 Tblsp. olive oil
1 - 2 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. cayenne powder
1 - 2 Tblsp. grated Parmesan cheese







INSTRUCTIONS
Throw all of the kale in the sink with cold water.
Swish them around to get off any dirt and bugs left on them from the ground. Or if buying from the store wash off any dirt left behind from shipping and handling.

Rip off all of the leafy parts and leave the tough stems behind to compost.

Layer the leaves onto a baking sheet.
There should be one good layer on the baking sheet nice and thick with leaves.  But do not overlap them too much.

Sprinkle on very little olive oil.  If too much oil is sprinkled on, the chips become very soggy.  So extremely little amount of olive oil is best.
Sprinkle on the garlic powder, as much as you like.
Shake on the Parmesan or Romano cheese of your liking.

Bake in a preheated 350 degree F oven for 30 minutes.

After 20 minutes of baking, they've shrunk but are not quite crispy enough yet.

After 30 minutes, they're ready.  Crispy and ready to eat.

The chips should be brown/green in colour and crispy.
If they're not leave them in a few minutes longer or you may have too much oil on them.
Maybe try a spritz bottle with the oil, that may work better.

Close up so you can see the spices on the leaves and the crisp look of these kale chips

When these little kale crisps are done baking, enjoy their yummy goodness.  They are delicious!
I like to sit in front of the t.v. and enjoy the entire tray to myself.  Which I may have to do before my husband gets to them. Hee hee, ha ha.

Eat Well,
;)

BORING SALAD NO MORE

Last night for dinner, I wanted a light quick salad.  I opted for the boring romaine and any veg I had laying around.  I chopped up the romaine and added yellow bell pepper, cuc, and tomatoes.  Boring!!!

I've been watching a lot of You Tube videos about Fruitarianism and Low Fat Raw Vegan Diet/Lifestyles and thought I would try a version of one of their salad dressings.  I threw in the blender the rest of the yellow pepper I had.  I remembered that a mango was one of the dressing ingredients, so i threw in a chopped up ataulfo mango.  To add a hint of saltiness, I threw in one chopped celery rib.  And then for some added watery consistancy I threw in  a few grape tomatoes and a bit of fresh dill from the garden.  Blend, blend, blend.  No water needed to be added as there was enough from the tomatoes.

OMG!  This dressing was amazing!  Sweet, creamy, and delicious.   I could have probably eaten the dressing all by itself like a gazbacho.

My husband did suggest to add a bit of red onion.  But little did he know there was NO FAT in this salad dressing at all.  Only fruit and veggies.  As for Chris's suggestion, next time I will try a little red onion.  Maybe it will add another yummy dimention to my dressing.

I turned my boring salad into Extrodinary.

Try making your own salad dressings.  It's quick and easy and LOW FAT!!!
Fat makes you FAT!!!!
Use a dense fruit as the base.  Start with a mango, a peach, some pineapple even.
Add in a few veg like tomato, or cucumber or bell pepper ( any colour )or all of these.
Add in some celery for a bit of saltyness.
Finish with some fresh herbs, dill, basil, mint, etc.
Your dressing can be a mix of fruit and veg or fruit only or veg only.  Although I do recommend adding some fruit, they make any salad taste yummy with a hint of sweet.
Add a small piece of hot pepper if you want an extra little kick.
If you need to, add a bit of olive oil or any vinegar of your choice.  A bit of avacado can replace the olive oil, or a few pecans too.  But I would recommend using only fresh fruit and veggies as these make the dressing low fat and super fresh tasting.
Just blend everything as much or a little as you like.  Start with a few ingredients and work up to more.
The best part is you get to taste as much as you want through your entire new salad dressing journey.  Yum!

I have also tried fruit only dressings..
A whole peeled clementine orange and tomato.
Orange and mango.  Yum!
Pineapple and mango.

But the all sweet fruit dressings, I like to use for my all fruit salads only.

Here's the recipe for my NO MORE BORING SALAD.

INGREDIENTS FOR SALAD

1 head chopped romaine lettuce
1 large handful baby spinach
2 mini cucumbers ( these are my favorite, I find the english cuc's have very little flavour anymore )
1/4 yellow bell pepper, chopped
1 tomato, chopped

INGREDIENTS FOR SALAD DRESSING

1/4 yellow pepper chopped
1 rib celery
1 ataulfo mango
6 grape tomatoes
1Tbsp fresh dill

INSTRUCTIONS

Place all salad ingredients in a bowl.

Place all dressing ingredients in a blender and blend away. You can make it as chunky or as smooth as you like by how long you blend up all of the ingredients.

looking down into the blender.

Pour dressing onto salad and devour.  Yummmmy!

Enjoy!
Eat Well,

Matrix Repatterning Treatment 4

                                                                                                                          Thurs. May 31, 2012
Today's treatment focus was all about my head.  Specifically the back of my head.

I told Margaret all about the symptoms I felt after Tuesday's treatment.  These symptoms usually occurred within an hour or two after my treatment.  I spoke and she recorded that I had pressure in my right ankle, then periodic aching in that same ankle throughout the rest of the day.  More tension was coming out of that ankle area.  Margaret reminded me that during my first treatment there was a lot of tension that had been released in several areas of my right ankle.  There was probably just some residual tension left over, that needed healing.  I had some tightness in my chest ( I had bronchial asthma in my 20's) and a mild headache that subsided within an hour or so.
My left ankle had some swelling again too but not nearly as sever as when the first treatment of my left ankle occurred.  My right ankle also had some swelling, there was a small lump between my right ankle bones on top front of my foot.  This lump didn't last long either, maybe a couple of hours. The tension was continuing to release.
That's about it.  Not too bad, seems like my body is reacting very well to each Matrix Repatterning treatment.  Less and less symptoms means less needs to be healed.  Yay!

On to today's treatment.....
During the last session  Margaret mentioned that maybe I should try wearing a wireless bra so I wouldn't conduct so much energy to my extremities during a treatment.  That maybe my arms and legs wouldn't be so twitchy.  So I did and let me tell you, it worked.  Throughout today's treatment I did still have left and right arm twitching, but not nearly as much as if I was wearing my under wire bra.

For today's treatment I began by sitting on a chair with a bean bag pillow under my tail bone.  Then I hunched over like a teenager and Margaret placed one hand on top of my head and the other on my lower back.  She started to compress.  As she continued to place gentle pressure I felt more and more relaxed.  I felt my entire face go from tight to loose and relaxed.  I was after a minute or two entirely relaxed and sleepy.  The purpose of this treatment position was so my nervous system could be released.  She wanted to get all of my electricity flowing easily throughout my entire body so as to get a better reaction electrically as she treated my head today.
I was extremely relaxed at this point and now I was asked to lay down on the massage table on my right side.  A pillow was between my knees and a bean bag pillow was between my elbows and yet another bean bag pillow was under my neck.  She  began by pinpointing the specific problem areas with her metal electrical machine and the indicator area on my ribs.  But today she used my upper rib area rather than lower.
As she located different troubled areas on the left back side of my head, gentle pressure was placed using different hand positions as needed for each area.  Anywhere from approx. 30 seconds to 1 minute or so, the pressure was on.  Then the area was checked again with the indicator (rib area) and pressure with both hands to see if now the indicator area was solid and not soft and squishy.  If it was solid, that area was now healed and she moved on to wherever else there was an issue, constantly checking, treating and rechecking.  When my left central back of my head was being treated, I felt a jolt of energy in my right big toe and a bit of pain in my lower back.  When my left back area of my head was being treated I felt I needed to take deep breaths.  Margaret asked me if I was okay, I was so relaxed that I just murmured out a "uh huh"!  I took another deep breath as she continued working on my left head.  This area of my head reacted with the lung, diaphram area of my body.  At one point when my left head had pressure placed on it, I felt my entire right arm go numb and of course the usual, but less amount of twitching occurred in both arms.  She treated the entire left side and also a bit down my left neck.

When the left of my head had been completed, the right side was now to be treated.  I flipped over to my left side, very sleepily, again with the pillows between my knees, elbows and under my neck.  She began to check what areas needed healing using the upper rib indicator area on my right side and the electrical metal first.  Pushing on different areas on the back and right side of my head, while pressing on the indicator and waiting to see if that specific area made the indicator soft and squishy.  When she located areas that needed treating, she worked on them and rechecked again to make sure all was well and solid.  The right upper side of my head had a  slight bump on it.  It was a bit tender to touch, so gentle pressure was placed around that hurt area when it came time to treat it.  When I had  my car accident in 2001, a car had t-boned us on my side of the vehicle.  I hit the right upper side of my head which left me with the bump.  Also the left lower side of my head was affected.  I had minor whiplash, so that's why there was so much damage on the left side of my head.  The strike on my head radiated like a funnel to the left side of my head.  Margaret had worked double the time on my left side than that of my right side of my head.  Smaller area to be treated on my right side.
My feet seemed to be restless at times during the entire treatment.  At one point, when the right side of my head was being treated I felt achy in my left intestinal area.  Something was getting triggered in those areas throughout my nervous system, for my body to react this way, for my brain to tell the body to start to heal these areas.

Once Margaret had completed with my right side of my head, today's treatment had come to an end.
My body had a lot to process.

Whenever the head is treated, past emotions sometimes come out, a patient may cry or get angry.  I was somewhat nervous about my treatment today, because I didn't want to get angry and start thrashing my arms around, nor did I want to cry hysterically for any reason.  I did quite well with all of my treatment today, no crying, no anger, just relaxed tiredness.

I asked Margaret today since my head was being treated and my entire nervous system was once again lit up, will today's treatment help with my anxiety.  It should she said, so I will be making mental notes to see if it had.  My Oma was a ball of anxiety.  I was the lucky granddaughter to have inherited this.  Hopefully as only a short time passes I will finally be healed of this nervous disorder.

During my 30 minute drive home I had only one symptom.  My head was slightly achy, but this feeling diminished by the time I arrived at home.  And at one point during this post I felt a bit light headed, which Margaret said is normal after having the head worked on.  I am still tired and will more than likely continue to be so the rest of the day, as per Margaret's comments.  

That's it for today,  my next treatment is next week, stay tuned for updates.  Meanwhile...

Eat Well, Stay Healthy.

Matrix Repatterning Treatment Three

                                                                                                                 Tuesday May 29, 2012

Today's treatment session started out the same as the last two.  But this time I came prepared.  As it has been 5 days since my last treatment I was sure to record some of my symptoms as they had occurred.
Margaret recorded pertinent information as I began to ramble on.
The evening after my last treatment I noticed that my left ankle had swollen quite a bit.  As you can see by the picture below.  I couldn't  make out my ankle bone with my foot bone, I was just all puffy.

My body was remembering the injury and now was reacting like this to heal it properly.
Margaret manipulates the bones, she tells me, which gives the body the go ahead to recognise old injuries and  now is able to heal.
The next morning, I felt a bit of pain in my right wrist, right shoulder, but these didn't last long, only a few minutes. And my left ankle was still swollen.   I was told the swelling, although not severe but noticeable, could last anywhere from 3 to 6 WEEKS.  Yikes!  Oh well, at least I know that this is an indication that Matrix Repatterning is working and my body is truly healing itself; what it is meant to do anyway.
Saturday I had a bit of a soar neck, swollen left ankle still and of all things I stubbed my baby right toe! Ugh!!
I'm sure Margaret will not be happy with me about that.  Or maybe she will be as she knows she can easily fix me.
I was asked how I was sleeping at night and if I had trouble getting to sleep.  I answered that yes I do now wake up at night a couple of times tossing and turning, where before the treatments began I was sleeping through the entire night.  And also now I have a hard time falling asleep too.  I'm up until almost midnight before I fall asleep.  I try to read in order to make myself tired enough to finally close my eyes, but nevertheless, the midnight hour soon approaches.  In the morning I wake up around 6:30 - 7:00am where before I could have easily slept in until 9am or so.  Margaret says this is happening because at every treatment session, my entire nervous system is being lit up.  I guess I'm kind of a light bulb on full power all of the time now, healing like a mad person.   What a wondrous thing our body is!

Okay, on with today's treatment.  As I lay on the massage table trying to find my happy place, Margaret begins working on my silly stubbed right baby toe.  She finds that the area right beside my toe on the outside of my foot is actually more damaged than the toe itself.  Who would have thunk!  Anyways, she fixed me right up.  As she was barely applying the first amounts of pressure, wouldn't you know it, my left arm just resting at my side on the table started to twitch again, already!  I am still shocked at how aware I am of  the electricity running through my body.  Maybe that's why I always get shocked so much pushing the carts at the grocery store.  Hmmm!
During the 5 minutes or so, that she finished with my silly toe, I still continuously felt pressure by my left pelvis area as I had during the first two treatments.  Still healing and releasing tension I'm sure.

Next she moved onto my left leg once again to finish up where she had left off last week.  She knew it needed more work.  My foot and ankle were still her main focus.  She had checked to see where the problem areas were with her handy dandy electrical metal thing and the indicator.
As she manoeuvred her hands in specific locations throughout my left foot and ankle  I felt the clicking in my big toe again as it moved back into place and in my ankle and again in a different part of my ankle.  My left arm continuing to react to every pressure point being pushed on, twitching like crazy, and I even felt some tingling on and in my left ear as my left foot was being treated.  At one point, Margaret placed one hand under my heel and the other hand on the top of my foot, as she placed gentle pressure she began to compress my foot together and there I went again another big click and my foot went back to its original normal position.  She says there were many little clicks happening I just didn't feel all of them this time as much.  Maybe I'm getting used to it.
When the bones receive an injury, ( like my left foot getting caught in the back wheel of a bicycle in motion ) for some reason they enlarge, ( maybe to absorb the injury?? as this may be the body's way to band aid the situation ) so my foot now was being manipulated back to where it was always supposed to be by the use of Margaret's healing hands.  As she had treated my left foot I felt light pressure in my right ankle too.  The body is all connected right.  Ahh let the Healing continue!!  
While still on my left leg, the scar tissue on my left ankle from my bicycle injury years ago was being repaired as well.  Normally if anything slightly hits or touches the scarred area, I twinge, cause it hurts.  Today, because Margaret worked on fixing  my bones first, she says that she works on the bones and the body works on healing the connective tissues.  Now because she worked on my left outside ankle bone,  which was the centre for my pain in that scarred area, whenever she touched it today, it didn't hurt at all.  Actually at the end of the session she showed my how she treated  the scarred area.  She held her two thumbs, tip to tip, on one part of the scar and placed slight pressure as she tried to separate her thumbs, but making sure not to.  I could actually see right in front of my eyes, her thumbs were being moved apart as the scar tissue stretched apart.  OMG!  sooooo cool!  After treating all of the areas of my left foot and ankle, she used her electric metal device once again to make sure all was now well.  The indicator would show some strength not squish.

I was told that the legs and feet were the first to be treated as a new patient as they ground us electrically.  No ground = no current circulation.  Then the head which is the power and then the rest of the body are to be treated in that order.  Now when the power/head is worked on, this may trigger lots of emotions as all of the past emotions are now going to come out.  Also what may trigger are other problem areas in the legs again that may arise that may have been  hidden, by the head.

Margaret then checked the rest of my left leg, worked on my left knee a bit, rechecked it to make sure all was well before moving on to check my right knee again.  She treated my right knee for another bit, correcting more issues.  My lower arms were tingly again joined by my last two fingers on each hand and my right arm twitched now a bit to join my left arm. After a quick recheck of my right knee all was well again.

My pubic bone was the next to be treated.
Before my treatment was to begin.  Margaret measured with her fingers on my clothed body, how long from the top to the bottom of both sides of my pubic bones were to each other.  She measured that the left pubic bone was significantly larger than my right side.  Maybe about 1/8 inch larger.  Which is quite the difference when they are supposed to be the same size.  When my groin hit onto my bike as a child, this was more than likely the cause of this bone to have been larger, so Margaret told me.
I found out that the rib area that is pushed on, to feel if it is squishy or has some give when a certain area of my body had the electrical metal on it, is called the indicator.

When Margaret placed the metal on different areas of my pubic bone, I felt a lot of squish on the indicator area especially on the left side of my pubic bone.  All makes sense now about the indicator .... no?
She placed a small bean bag pillow across my pubic bones and put her entire front arm right across it and placed gentle pressure.  I felt a lot of release, for lack of a better word. My arms were twitching like crazy,  it's like they couldn't relax.  Next she placed some pressure with the palms of her hands pushing down on my pubic bone toward my back.  Again I felt release.  Then she placed light pressure onto my left pubic bone with both hands, almost pushing it together from top to bottom, like compressing the bone.  This time my right leg started to twitch too.  It was also bouncing a couple of times off of the table.  I must have looked like a circus act as I was twitching all over the place.  "The current was strong in her that day", ha, ha.
Margaret stopped there.  She said that was enough for today.  Or I would have been twitching the rest of the day.  And looked like a weirdo everywhere I went I'm sure.

 I felt very calm and relaxed after today's treatment even with the twitching.  The hour of healing sure flew by fast.

My next appointment is in two days.  I can't wait to see what healing my body will do next.  My head will be the next focus of attention.  Yikes!

As we said our good byes, and discussed today's treatment a bit, I realised that my left foot was now too small for my left sandal.  The sandal had stretched out for my previous injured sized foot and now I was slipping out of it.  Oh well!! Its a good excuse to go shopping for some new sandals.  Lol!

Some of my symptoms I felt as I headed home was light pain in my right ankle.  Yup, right ankle, weird being that my left ankle was treated.  I noticed a small lump on the front of my right foot between the ankle bones of my foot too.  I felt a bit of a tight chest and some pressure in my head too.  All of these symptoms seemed to have passed after an hour or so, except for my right ankle.  The mild pain came and went as it pleased.  My left ankle also started to swell again a bit, but not as bad as the last treatment, at least not yet anyway.  Its only mid afternoon now.  I did however feel a few sharp jolts in my left foot a couple of times though.
Let the healing continue.

Until next time...
Stay Well
;)
