My Treatment With Simon Green. June 2008
Background
Simon Green and I have never met in person and yet after hearing an interview with him on Radio National, I felt compelled to seek him out for a healing treatment. Simon’s broad experience as a healer and his obvious knowledge of both cranio-sacral technique and Shamanic practice was a perfect combination of skill for me. I have been a long time convert to cranio-sacral treatments for my three children and myself and as an energetically sensitive person I have been looking for a long time for somebody who could combine this extraordinary cranio-sacral technique with a higher metaphysical knowledge. In fact only weeks before I heard Simon’s interview I had asked for someone with both these abilities to enter my circle and provide a deeper experience of healing and integration of my physical and metaphysical body.
On a physical/emotional level I experienced a great deal of trauma as a child (after a terrible horse riding accident that nearly claimed my life) and as an adult I had three children in four years (all breach) by caesarean. My body has struggled to realign itself after the birth of my last child, which has manifested particularly in relation to my menstrual cycle and my emotional state. After endless pap smears, ultrasounds, blood tests and mini curates, I was told that there was nothing wrong with me and I could either choose to ‘put up’ with long stop/start periods or consider stopping my periods completely through hormone treatments or surgery. At 37 this seemed extreme and undesirable to me on every level of my being. Cranio-sacral treatments have provided some noticeable improvement in my body on many levels however I have also felt for some time that there was something on an energetic level that was blocked. Despite working with my own energy for many years, I seemed unable to locate or release those blockages that I felt were indeed connected to my continued period problems and physical health.
So that’s when Simon appeared (at least in voice rather than person) and something inside me instinctually knew that he had the ability to help me heal and release some of the imprints held deep within my physical and emotional body. However connecting in person for a treatment proved a challenge (Simon is in NSW, I am in Vic) and not long after speaking to Simon (which affirmed to me his ability to facilitate healing) he headed off to Peru. I then decided that a phone consultation would at least perhaps offer some insight into what was going on with my physical body and I hoped this in turn would reveal what was going on with the more subtle levels of my being. However I entered the phone consultation with no expectations, as I wasn’t really sure what Simon could do for me from Peru or how the session would even proceed with such distance between us.
The Treatment….
When Simon and I began my treatment I had a cup of tea ready and a pen and paper, expecting to take notes on ways to perhaps deal with the physical issues of my body (connected primarily to the birth of my children and the spinal blocks endured for their birth). However it quickly became clear to me that this was not going to be a process understood through the intellectual mind. What surprised me the most about Simon was his ability to tap into my emotional being and I very quickly found myself raw with emotion and laying flat out on my sofa as he tapped into the deepest unspoken parts of myself and also into the exact parts of my body that had reoccurring issues (my spine, my reproductive organs and the left side of my body in particularly my left knee and ankle). Further Simon also accurately pinpointed (what I have been told by another Osteopath who works with cranio-sacral technique) that I have scar tissue where the spinal block needles were repeatedly inserted for each birth. I also felt as if Simon was present in the room and the treatment was as intense if not more so, than a hands on cranio-sacral treatment. Memories that I had not thought about consciously for a long time bubbled to the surface and I found him pinpointing childhood and adult experiences that I had not revealed to him. This was truly an extraordinary experience that was at once confronting in it’s accuracy and liberating in the sense that Simon held my emotional vulnerability without judgement and with extreme gentleness and care. As Simon worked through my body I could feel the energy intensify in particular areas of my body and then not surprisingly he would accurately tell me that was the part of my body he was working on. As the session progressed I felt my nervous system calm down and I began to relax as I felt my body twitch and release almost like a spring unravelling. Towards the end of my treatment I felt the familiar calmness and clarity that comes to me at the end of a cranio-sacral treatment and also an added grounded openness that comes with what I can only describe as a true energetic healing.
After My Treatment…
On a physical level in the days following my treatment my eyesight felt immediately improved and the tension that usually sits in my neck and shoulders had significantly dissipated. My body felt balanced, my hips felt somehow straighter and my digestion and bowels movements were noticeably improved. The night following my treatment brought an intensification of the pain in my ovaries, the back of my knee and ankle, however when I woke in the morning the pain had completely gone in all areas of my body. Also in the evening after my treatment (as odd as this may sound) I had a metallic taste in my mouth and some nausea which I strongly connect to the feeling I had with each spinal block given to me before the birth of each child. For the first time in more than three years rather than my period coming early and with much pain it was 4 days overdue and came painlessly and moved me onto a new moon cycle which is also the first time I have been on this moon phase since the birth of my last child in 2004.
On an energetic and metaphysical level there has been much to digest and many 'aha! moments’ from things that Simon spoke about in regards to my emotional experiences as a child and as an adult. My dream state has also been very active and in direct correlation to things revealed through the treatment. I have also noticed a very significant energetic response to my treatment from my children and from those that are closely or energetically connected to me. In the weeks following my treatment there have been too many shifts both in actual manifested choices and on an energetic level to document them all. What I would say is that Simon has in some way enabled some blockages to be cleared and opened space in my heart for new opportunities and journeys to be imagined. I see this as just the beginning of moving through many experiences that have lay buried for far too long and I look forward to working with Simon again as I progress in my journey of self healing. Simon has a truly remarkable gift and distance does not appear to be an issue in his ability to facilitate healing on both the physical and the metaphysical body. Thank you Simon, I don’t know exactly how you do it but I do know the world needs more people like you!
