I have suffered with pain in my feet for over 10 years. It was diagnosed as planta faciatis and I went to all sorts of specialists to try to correct the problem. This included physios, a sports doctor, an orthopaedic surgeon, 2 podiatrists, reflexology, mobilisation (which helped to maintain my feet but never cured them), and finally acupuncture. My doctor was amazed that the acupuncture hadn’t helped, as she had had great success with it before for planta faciatis . During my last session with her, she mentioned the connection between emotional issues and long-term, chronic pain. I had heard of this but never thought it applied to me – or that it could apply to something like foot pain! She didn’t have any solutions, but I had heard of kinesiology and was fortunate enough to find Margie.
In our first session, Margie found and dealt with the emotional cause underlying my foot pain – something that I never would have suspected! However, I didn’t really know what to expect. The next day was very busy and I didn’t notice my feet as I wasn’t on them much, but when I got home that night I decided to go for a run. I hadn’t run for 6 months because of the pain in my feet, which had got only slightly better with all the treatments I had been having. I started the run and waited for the familiar pain in my feet. I ran and ran, and nothing came! I got home absolutely amazed and sat in my garden, infused with this amazing sense of calm, contentedness and clarity of direction that I had not had for years.
I cannot describe the incredible feeling of being pain-free after so many years. It feels like a miracle every day, every step I take! But I think the kinesiology has also worked on a deeper level, and the sense of peace was related to that. It is over a month later and I have not lost that feeling!
Margie had asked in our session if I had any other issues I was struggling with, and this prompted me to book a second session to help me to deal with a relationship issue I had been struggling with.
I have been involved with a man on and off for 7 years and due to MY issues and blocks, could never commit to him. This resulted in a huge amount of pain for both of us. We would advance to a point of commitment – and I would break up with him as soon as it got too close. (Let me add that he is the most wonderful man, and so well matched to me in so many areas – so it wasn’t that he was ‘wrong’ for me.) I hurt him so much with my inability to commit that he had a nervous breakdown last year. We had started talking again after 8 months of no communication, and I was determined not to go through the same patterns of the past again.
Margie not only helped me to see and ‘fix’ these patterns, but we landed up dealing with issues related to my asthma too! I had asthma as a baby, then again from around the age of 12 till now (age 37).
The result of that session is that I am literally a changed person. Somehow, all the issues and guilts from the past have dissolved and I am finally able to simply give my heart to this man and love him like I have always wanted to. He, thank God, is prepared to try once more – which shows HIS depth of love for me, after all these years of pain!
It has had ramifications in other areas of my life, too. Margie showed me where the patterns were and how they were affecting me in my family and friendship relationships as well, and how they were holding me back. As a result, I am for the first time in my life starting to make choices for ME, setting correct and strong boundaries while still being able to love and forgive. I am now able to live life for MYSELF, on my own terms, without being burdened by guilt and worry over what other people think. And I didn’t even realise that this was what I was doing!
Another result has been that I am TOTALLY OFF cortisone for my asthma – after over 10 years of this medication! My lungs are clear and again, it is a miracle for me to be able to breathe properly without the use of medicine. I only occasionally have to use Ventolin, usually only on a long run, although most runs are clear. Before, I had to take cortisone every day, AND sometimes Ventolin on my runs!
Margie, I cannot thank you enough! Kinesiology has given me freedom from 2 chronic conditions I have suffered from for years, freedom to live life on my own terms, and happiness in a relationship I never dreamed would be able to be healed. This is priceless!
