Brendan's session began with us asking him about NFB. He wanted more immediately. We began with his left foot and got through 7 points - with one being the middle toe. Brendan chose the 'middle toe' point. He really enjoyed this and was calm while on his middle toe. We began the right foot and on the first point he started laughing - like he was ticklish. He did not allow any other points on his right foot.
The homeopath was present at the session along with his mom. While we were doing his left foot the homeopath asked about what points we were doing. I told her we were doing reflex points and she suggested we look at the reflexology chart and let Brendan pick it out. I got the reflex manual I have and went to hand it to her and Brendan took it. He then opened up the book and looked at the pictures with the toes on it and pointed. He continued to look through the book. We were all fascinated by this.
During a session many children reach out to their parents while things are shifting. The homeopath noticed Brendan reaching and asked him if she could hold his hand. He said yes. Brendan and the homeopath held hands while NFB was completed. This has never happened - he has always only held his parents hand(s).
I continued to work primarily on his sphenoid, nasal bones and left eye. Restrictions in the "T-zone" are usually extreme and generate a lot of pressure to release. The T-zone is an area encompassing a line starting from one ear passing through the eyes and nasal bones to the other ear. The stem of the T-zone goes from the nasal bones to the throat. This zone is one of the most comprised and restricted on most people.
Brendan is beginning to enjoy the O/A (occipital/atlas) release more and more. This area is usually very restricted and can hurt until a certain level of decompression is accomplished. Critical as it allows oxygen into the brain stem and takes a downward pressure off of the spine.
The pressure being generated from the human body can be intense and working with children there has to be an agreement of when you will stop. Started long ago we count to 10. This allows a child to know the pressure will stop at 10. It also allows a child to gradually except the amount of pressure needed to effect a change. As counting is done out loud, most children begin to count with you. Brendan counted from one to ten through many holds today. Fascinating is a child's ability to count faster the closer we get to 10. I, however, continue a steady, slow, rhythmic pace to 10.
When Brendan is nearing the end of his session I let him know how many things I have left (no less than 5 and no more than 10). He always counts backwards now. When we finished he said "Done" and continued to rest on the table for another 10 minutes. This is the second time he has stayed and rested.
Following his rest he said "Done" again and got up. He ran to the waiting area - never done before - and got his shoes and socks on immediately. He left jumping and very happy.
