Today I had my complimentary reflexology session. I felt like I was floating on water, drifting through the waves on warm water. I felt wonderful and so relaxed, pain free. Having the opportunity to experience an holistic approach to my recovery, medication and alternative therapy working together makes me feel positive. The power of alternative therapy like reflexology has amazing benefits for my body. The reflexologist therapist is trained in treating cancer patients and their touch is very different than if I were to go to a normal reflexologist centre from my own personal experience.
Escaping pain for a little while has helped me recoup and gather myself to be able to deal with the upcoming next pain which I experienced in the evening. My chest felt scratchy and itchy, sore and throbbing shoulder and chest. The only thing that seems to be taking away the pain is alternative therapy and things like restorative yoga and meditation. I joined a yoga Nidra class which focussed on the meditation side. I felt blissful and so relaxed.
Song: Scar Tissue by Red Hot Chili Peppers because the song is mellow and the line scar tissue makes me think of my own scar on my neck and will always be a reminder of the pain and hopefully beating cancer.
