I’ve long said I draw from imagination, education, and experience when writing my fiction. Today proved that out in a way I wouldn’t have imagined.
Pun intended.
I’m working on the opening scene for Gimme Shelter, a Port Gallatan story. One of the characters has recently recovered from an injury that almost ended his musical career.
This is explained in detail in Soothsayer which will be available soon.
The character is reflecting on another character’s suggestion to use a Tens machine to aid his recovery. While this scene was created from imagination it turns out I have a bit of experience with Tens technology.
A Tens machine stimulates nerves through electrical pulses transmitted through skin.
Then
Years back an orthopedist suggested I get a “tune-up” for my left leg which was paralyzed after I fell off a diving board at the age of ten and suffered a subdural hematoma. As a result when I become overly tired I have a tendency to trip on that side. He felt the therapy tune-up would help.
It did.
As part of the tune-up they attached a Tens machine to an area above my left knee that – after 24 years – was still numb to the touch.
As of this blog that area is no longer numb.
And Now
A few weeks back after an x-ray showed my left arm break not healing well the PA working with me asked if I’d be up for electrical stimulation after which she clarified insurance wouldn’t cover it til after 90 days had gone by.
One: I was open to the use of Tens
Two: I was determined I wouldn’t need it and that upon the next visit I would have new bone growth
Three: I didn’t come out and say it but I think she knew – it wasn’t slow bone growth. I screwed up. I’d gone on a business trip and while at the airport – out of instinct – grabbed a wheelie to put on the escalator. I felt sharp pain and knew – just knew in my gut I undid all the healing in the weeks since the break.
Aaron knew it too – he saw me go chalk white from pain and I saw his expression.
Needless to say we had a “discussion” about me letting him manage the wheelies.
She was gracious enough to not say anything though she did gently implore me to allow others to help instead of trying to do things for myself.
A tall order but I acquiesced.
Home Tens To the Rescue
Two days later while meditating I got the word Silva in my mind followed by The Alpha Frequency.
This is a frequency Jose Silva observed brought people “to level” where they could solve all sorts of problems.
I then remembered. One of the success stories we heard during the BLS involved a man in Texas. He was in the hospital with a fracture of the femur that wasn’t healing well. Jose was alerted to this by a member of the community that knew of his work with healing. He brought a portable tape recorder with him to visit the man instructing him to play the cassette while holding the tape player so that the speaker was directly on top of the break.
As per teachings he was to do this 3x/day.
The man’s bone healed quickly after that.
Fascinated I asked how students might take advantage of this option given we were way past the age of cassettes.
Though years before mp3s.
As I lay in bed I considered – given we ARE in the age of mp3 – how could I emulate that experience? My first thought was to use the speaker from my iPhone.
I have the Alpha frequency in mp3 format in a playlist.
Deciding it wasn’t practical I considered my routine – decided to play it on my laptop while holding my casted arm as close to the speaker as possible. To help – I hoped – I pressed the cast against the laptop. My thinking was the vibration would be picked up/transmitted through the material.
On the return visit – though I was expecting a ½ cast I was told I needed no cast. The bone had healed that much – in weeks.
I was given a brace to wear when driving or outdoors but otherwise told to do what I do naturally to help loosen muscle that tightened – Mother Nature’s way of protecting healing bone – to loosen and function normally.
Today
It’s my final x-ray after a journey of healing. I wanted to share that the Alpha frequency as recorded by Jose Silva – and the instructors of his method – is truly healing. I highly recommend the BLS but it would be interesting to see if people who hadn’t taken the class but use the frequency get healing benefit. I suggest visiting silvamethod.com to find where you can purchase the Alpha sound.
Be well
