CST Session 9/1/11

Brendan was amped and loud when coming in today.  He sat in his regular chair and looked around.  We are in the process of moving to a new facility and there are many boxes and things look a little different.  When asked how he was doing he said 'good', removed his shoes and socks and went straight into the room and got on the table.  He was smiling.

Started working on his right leg again.  The energetic connection is stronger and now extends into parts of his feet.  His right ankle is the least connected at this point.  The connection is also staying which is believed to be why he is jumping - as he can feel the bottom of both of his feet hitting the floor.  There is a balance happening he had not otherwise felt.  Think of yourself when your foot falls asleep and how strange it is to walk or limp on one leg.  Brendan has been doing this since we met - walking primarily on his left foot. 

When the session started his system was in a pretty excitable state.  This is believed to be from the new remedy he has been put on.  Whenever something new is introduced we feel it is best to have a session with just cranial and lymphatic work for integration.  While working his thoraric spine Brendan audibly sighed when the largest shift occurred.  This was successful "stacking". 

Stacking happens once the pelvis maintains balance and you can start "re-stacking" the spine.  When the pelvis is out of balance the muscles above and below will shift to put one's body in the most balanced position.  Usually this results in an unbalanced or asymmetrical system.  Symmetry is key.  The body must be balanced on both sides creating an overall symmetry from head to toe.  When symmetry is achieved the body functions optimally.

We finished working on the cranial vault (skull).  Minor shifts were accomplished.  Brendan continues to accept deeper and deeper work on his O/A, temporals and sphenoid.  He left smiling and happy - going to Target.

Parent update 08/30/11

This is two nights in a row that Brendan was so amped up at bedtime, that he didn't fall asleep until almost 1am. He would look so tired at 9pm and request to go to sleep. But then he would become restless, thrashing about in his bed. He wasn't mad or sad. It was like he couldn't keep himself to lay still (legs thrashing about, body slamming into the bed, etc.). At least he seemed to be having a good time! Both nights I finally got him to sleep by working on him a second time. I worked on his legs tonight to see if I could calm them down. I hope he wakes up in a good mood tomorrow.

Parent update 8/29/11

Brendan had a good day. He did break one video..(sigh). Linda gave me a remedy to see if it will help him sleep through the night. Since both Kathleen and Brendan had a little hesitency in using this remedy, I asked Brendan again if he wanted the remedy. This time he quickly said 'yeah'. I asked him a second time just to make sure. Again, he said 'yeah'. So, I gave him a small sip of the lowest dose (6c). We'll see what tomorrow brings....

Parent update 8/28/11

Off and on this weekend, Brendan was happy, then annoyed. I think he just wasn't feeling all the well due to his sleep being off for so long now. He had been up at
5am Friday and stayed up the whole day. His friends came to visit and he joined us in the living room. Lots of times, he'll stay on his computer to listen to what's going on. He put out his hand to E and she touched it. I think he put his hand out to her, because up until a few minutes before that, she had tears in her eyes. This was due to her DVD player not working. He tried again to hold hands with her, but this time she said, "sorry". He didn't get mad or anything. It was such a cute interaction. Then when they were about to get the car, M was having some difficulty. Brendan came to the door a couple of times and I told him M was having a hard time at the moment but he will be okay. As Kathleen had stated, Brendan is very in tuned to other people.

Today he said 'dirty' when his CD would not work. So, I cleaned it off, and then it was fine. Again, he has attempted this word in the past, but his words are starting to sound so much clearer. : )

Well, here's hoping he sleeps through the night.

CST Session 8/25/11

When Brendan arrived he was somewhat agitated and loud.  After a few minutes he removed his shoes and socks and went into the therapy room.  He started smiling.

As I worked his right leg - mostly knee and ankle, Linda began employing the ghHW method.  We knew he needed detoxing from his Monday night visit.  We began with lymphatic work - getting the fluids moving so any toxins coming out will move easier through the system.  Then we set the laser on detox which Brendan really liked.  We continued with the laser using cellular regeneration, blood and DNA.

He smiled pretty much throughout the whole session.  In addition periodically he would very gently place his hand on my shoulder.  I had not been feeling very well that day and he picked up on it immediately.  His compassion and empathy was immense.  I thanked him each time as he was sending me healing energy.  Brendan knows when someone is not energetically balanced and it can effect him greatly.  Each time he placed his hand on my shoulder the pain lessened - I had a headache.  By the time his session was done my headache was pretty much gone.

The student becomes the teacher.  Brendan has amazing healing energies and if harnessed correctly he can do many things.  Over the past year he has placed his hands on his mother when she did not feel well.  After much communication (over the past year) we learned most of Brendan's tendencies to headbutt or hit was because he could feel something wrong with someone.  It was like he was trying to get the problem to shift. 

Brendan continues to make amazing progress.  We expect fallout but it is minimal compared to what we dealt with months ago.  While there are tough days he is always happy at his cranial sacral appointment.  We worked the longest on his right knee and ankle than we ever had.  Brendan's system is unwinding and his body, spirit and mind are melding more. 

We look forward to see what he accomplishes next.  Stay tuned.

Parent update 8/25/11

Brendan had a good CST session using a remedy and laser. The rest of the afternoon he went from being manic (happy) and mischevious to being exhausted. During his manic times, he broke two CDs and a wooden puzzle board. He also peed in his pants three times. A couple of times I think he just waited to long. The last time he thought it was funny so I made him clean it up. Glad to get him to bed. Hoping for a more easy going, compliant child tomorrow (of course, what parent doesn't) : ) At least he was happy today and not mad. Just hope the 'breaking of things' doesn't start up again.

Parent update 08/24/11

Brendan slept soundly through the night on Monday night. He woke up happy and seemed refreshed. He did have a crying spell at school. No one is sure what triggered it. But he was fine the rest of the day and evening.

Last night (or I should say this morning), he woke up at 4am and did not go back to sleep. So, he went to school. Apparently, he fell asleep at his desk. But when he woke up he was fine. He had a good day. His videos arrived today. He has been waiting patiently all week. Having him remove a sticker as we get closer to the delivery date really seems to help. Also, we aren't stalking mailmen anymore. He has a CST session tomorrow and I believe we will be using the laser again.
