Journey 201 - A Friend's Back Problem

9/19/05: A Journey taken at a friend’s request to investigate a Pain in her Back for which she is seeking medical Help. As I entered the Sacred Spirit Realm, I found my Upper World Guide Eagle Claw there, with his Human Face but the body of Owl. He was soaring around very quickly, causing a vortex of Feathers and Rainbow-colored Mana. I looked way up to the top of this Vortex and could see my friend there. Owl scooped me up and lifted me, in my mini-form as Four Hawks, to and through the top of the Vortex. There I was meeting with my friend. I first presented myself to her as four separate Hawks all flying around in an ever-tightening Formation, then merging into an Amalgam. We walked toward a Forest. From the Forest came both Water and Forest Spirit Beings, in the form of a light Mist. They swirled around and through my friend. Their presence allowed me to see a thin red Shaft of Light sticking out of her Back. I went in through this Shaft to investigate the cause of her Pain. I saw one of her Discs was slightly out of place and slightly abraded..as if something had been rubbing against its surface. I then created a Y-shaped Stick. I swirled my Hand around this Stick to charge it with Healing Energy. I began trying to push the Disc back into place, but it kept resisting. I was getting nervous about doing more Harm than Good to my Friend. At this Point, I felt myself becoming the Hollow Bone. Through me then passed one of her own Shaman Helper Spirits. He put the Disc back into place. He then handed me the Y-shaped Stick on the way back out. He congratulated me for trying to heal her and for being wise enough to allow him to finish the Job. He then said she should drink healing Teas, rest for a Week or so, and apply alternating hot and cold compresses to that area of her Back (just below the mid point, right side of the Spine). She should avoid heavy lifting for a while. I thanked the Shaman Helper, my Helpers and then returned. I then slid through the Walls of my Room and retuned to my Body.

Here is the reply I got a few nights later:

"Thank you so much for writing the journey up.
It means a lot to me.
I kept my back warm, but not cold ( don't like cold)
I do like the forest very much, but the sea is special for me, it gives me such good energy !
It's too bad it's a long way drive from were we live to reach the sea.
And yes, I was drinking more Native herbal tea at the moment !
My back hurts a little, but much less than in the beginning, and the pain on my leg and foot has gone !!
I am verry happy, and I want to thank you and all yours and mine Spirit helpers and Animals for their help."
