(M.E. is also a healing/transformation method - Matrix Energetics. I haven't taken the workshops but have heard good thins about it from someone who has! You might like to check it out, too.) I have had M.E./Chronic Fatigue for over 15 years. It's what started me looking into alternative health and spiritual/subtle energy healing, dowsing and all the other interesting things I am now involved with!

I spent all my time thinking about my situation, monitoring my energy levels, working out if I could go out, or do a bit of housework. If I hoovered a room, I'd have to lie down for some time afterwards, and that was it for the day as far as physical activity was concerned. It's disheartening, boring, and frustrating. When you get some energy, you overdo everything in desperation to make the most of it and usually suffer a relapse. I didn't really have a life, as such, I just tried to survive day to day, unable to think of a future.

There was, (and still is), no conventional medical treatment. (The one consultant I got to see (after a wait of 6 months) told me to learn how to relax, or meditate, and do some yoga. I'd beeen meditating for 20 years, and hadn't the energy to do yoga, so that wasn't much help!) It took me a long time to realise things wouldn't get better on their own, but eventually I realised it was down to me. (This I now see as a blessing - saving me from the usual round of drugs, side-effects, more drugs and long-term health deterioration that is known as 'medicine' today.)

The things that helped me start to recover were nutrition - I began to take good quality liquid mineral and vitamin supplements; anger - which motivated me to start doing something more to help myself; and hope, mainly because I tried various types of healing, and encountered people who cared and had some different ideas about health and healing. Of course, there's always delay and frustration due to lack of energy and money. Almost all the treatments I had made me feel good (except for the acupuncture and shiatsu, which both hurt!) Of course I could never afford more than one or two sessions at a time. (One of the most frustrating things about being ill and not being able to work is that you have so much time on your hands, but don't have the money to pay for the therapies that may help you. I was getting deeper into debt trying to find something that would help.) Nevertheless, I did get very gradually better, as my credit card balance got bigger.

When I was well enough to tolerate crowds and travelling, I started going to the various Mind Body Spirit shows, (or 'Mind Body Wallet' shows, as one of my friends calls them!) I hoped to learn about some new therapy which wouldn't be too expensive. After a year or so, I had become slightly cynical, but still thought there might be some great new product or treatment I hadn't yet come across.

Then, at one show, late on the last day, I came to a stand with a beautiful gold Egyptian symbol on the wall. There were two people there - Pat and Martin. They are Sekhem healers, and were the only people who still looked energised and interested in talking to people! I told them I had M.E. and they instantly offered to repair holes in my aura - something I'd never heard about before. Without much hope, but impressed with their generosity, I agreed to try it.

After sitting while they both worked on me for about 5 minutes, (commenting my aura looked like a cheese-grater!) I got the feeling I was developing flu - something was definitely happening! They also told me I had an entity attached, and offered to remove it. This was all news to me, but I agreed. They didn't ask for any money, which was good, since I didn't have any!

On my way home, I noticed I was already feeling stronger. I found myself walking up the stairs without holding onto the rails, and when I got to Wood Green, instead of waiting for a bus, I decided to walk home. This was the first time for many years that I'd felt like I had excess energy for the luxury of walking such a distance. I couldn't quite believe it - I wondered if I was imagining that I felt better. But I got home without 'running out of petrol'. That was the real beginning of my recovery.

The technique of 'aura hole repair' is actually very simple; it involves feeling for a breeze or sense of energy 'escaping' around someone, and then 'sewing' the hole up, in your imagination, and placing a star (two diamonds superimposed) over the repair. Now I offer it as a service, either with Quantum-Touch , Theta-Magic, or EFT.

One of the most difficult things about Chronic Fatigue is the mental state it creates. I find EFT is very useful dealing with fear of relapses, and negative habits of thinking that make recovery much more difficult. A confident attitude and habit of looking for positives in anything we experience is the way to make progress, and especially necessary for those who've suffered any chronic illness. Using EFT alongside some emotional awareness skills and information-giving about the physical and mental effects of stress has proved very effective in changing the feeling of pessimism most people suffer to some degree. I now offer a sort of 'self-directed' therapy to those suffering anxiety, stress and Chronic Fatigue; I use whatever method the client prefers and work on whatever is uppermost in their minds at the time; so each session is unqiue and I can respond to the needs of the moment.

If someone you know has M.E./Chronic Fatigue, you could try an aura-hole repair on them yourself; however, if you or anyone you know needs some outside help, ring me or email me. If you feel like you're leaking energy, then you probably are, and could feel a lot better for the treatment!

There is another healing treatment that scored 10 - Ric Weinman's Vortex(R) Energetic Healing. I have taken the first level course, but don't feel confident enough to practice it myself. You can visit Ric's website, VortexHealing(R) to find out a bit more, and for practitioners near you. If you're in London, you can contact me - I know three very good practitioners, and I do recommend the treatment, which can do some pretty amazing things (like improve the tone of your voice or musical instruments!) If you like magic, and real-life wizards, this is one of the most magical types of healing I've come across!

I hope some of this is helpful, and you give one or more a try. All the best with your recovery!
