Mountain #3
Posted: June 21st, 2008 under 30 Mountains Challenge.
When I got up today, I thought I wouldn’t be able to go at first. My right knee began hurting like hell immediately when I got up and made a few steps.
Then I decided to go, but to make it as easy as possible for my knees: I took the longer and easier route to walk up, walking very slowly, carefully placing my feet, trying to move smoothly… After all, this challenge is not about taking the most difficult route or about being as fast as possible, it’s merely about reaching the summit 30 times.
Something important happened while walking up. A guy called me. “Mademoiselle! Have you seen how beautiful the sight is here?!” We began to talk and were soon walking up together, discussing very interesting topics, like aliens, reincarnation, and lightworking. I discovered that he’s an energy healer. He told me about the energies he could feel in the mountain, he said the energy there is very strong. I was very interested in what he said because I’d love to learn how to heal with my hands, that’s a big dream of mine. I find energy work absolutely fascinating.
When we reached the summit, he examined my knee and performed an energy transfer. It felt like a magnet was pushing something inside my knee. It was such a strong and weird feeling that I started giggling hysterically. After a few minutes he stopped and said that my kneecap is a bit mashed and that with such an overweight I should not walk a mountain like this down, for it’s way too much for my knees.
I also told him that I’d like to learn energy healing. He slightly touched my hands, and said “I don’t feel much energy in your hands. It’d be enough for Reiki, but you won’t be very powerful with your hands.” Then he slightly touched my forehead and said “Here I can feel a very powerful energy. You’d probably be able to heal others with your thoughts.”
He also added that given the energy I radiate, there’s no doubt my projects will succeed. And that my body is preventing me from expressing my skills and that I should get rid of my overweight first.
Losing weight is no biggie, since I went raw I’m losing weight automatically, so there’s nothing to do about that. But I’m confused about the energy healing thing. I so wanted to learn it. I’ve never heard about healing someone with the thoughts. And I don’t know if I should believe him in the first place! Maybe it’s just a test to see how committed I am.
I know this encounter is no coincidence. It means something.
Walking down was horrible. It was hurting terribly, like the bones were rubbing each other, and my knee felt swollen, but only inside. From the outside I couldn’t see anything. I couldn’t bend it anymore, so I had to hobble down veeery slowly with a stiff leg. It took me three entire hours to get down, and I was so happy when I arrived… I still had enough energy to walk a few hours more, but the right knee just felt like I had a knife stuck in it.
The facts:
Weather: very hot. Big burning sun, no clouds, no wind. I was wearing a hat, a shirt with long sleeves and long pants to protect my skin. And thick winter socks to prevent the shoes from rubbing my taped heels. It was funny to go around like this, with everybody else being half naked.
