Floating and Buzzing

I was really looking forward to getting my treatment today from Mr. acupuncturist. It was another treatment well worth waiting for.
I get it done once a week, even though it comes around so quickly, I always look forward to it.

The amount of needles was the same as last week, but now stuck in different parts of my stomach. It lasted an hour, a little longer than usual and I enjoyed every minute of it. Totally relaxed, totally chilled.

"Gearing" myself up for an hour of relaxation sounds strange. But that's the only way I get the most out of it. Preparing to just give in to the feelings and sensations that come and go. And it works because I was floating the entire hour and I felt this buzzing and tingling sensation constantly.. Amazing it was. Whereas last week the tingling only lasted a few seconds. Even though concerns and worries were going round my head, at the same time, the floating feeling was so strong that it overpowered any other feelings, either emotional or psychical. The longer the needles were stuck into my legs and stomach, the more effect they were having. At one stage I felt as though I was rising upwards and that I was stepping out of my skin. My arms were heavy, the muscles in my legs were aching but it wasn't overbearing, my head was fuzzy and it was being pulled back into the pillow. Then, while I was stepping out of my skin, it was like my head started to rise and my neck automatically became longer and stronger.. and I was standing "tall" and strong and my arms were open and I was so happy, literally standing on top of the world..Liberated..

Okay..PAUSE.. This was all in my head of course. Because I was still lying on the table with 16 needles stuck into me and to an outsider I would have looked tired and peaceful, or bored even. But still I continued to float..feeling free and relaxed and fuzzy..and then SMACK.. back down to planet earth.. Ralph entered the room.. Treatment over.. Bummer.. Reality check. Yes, I was still me, still all in tact. Just amazingly revived..

Sounds like a trip, I know. I just love it so much. But I still haven't been able to actually look down at all the needles stuck into me, during the treatment, because I think that might freak me out totally.. I hope to feel as chilled now for the rest of the week, as I do right at this moment. I also got some other Chinese medicine, to help take the "edge" off all the emotions that have been arising the past few weeks, it should also help me food to settle more which will keep on stimulating my digestive system. We'll see how it goes. But for now, it's all good..
