Doing Touch for Health with Elderly At Home Improves Sleep Quality

Last month, I worked with four seniors (my mother, my uncle and two aunts) at home in a group 14-meridian balance. I remembered Conrad saying that under such circumstances, we might use surrogate balancing to do it. So, I lined up all four seniors, hand in hand, with myself guiding my cousin to work at both ends simultaneously. The result was very good. My uncle and aunt had serious sleep disorders, constantly sleeping without resting. During the balance, my aunt had already felt sleepy. I guessed it might be her “energy reserve” resetting itself, as Conrad had discussed in class. My mom and the other aunt had a flowing feeling after the balance. Even I myself became high-spirited, really feeling energized. That night, my uncle and aunt slept right till day-break, something they had not experienced for many years. In the following nights, their sleep quality had some ups and downs. Anyway, it was much better overall. I had done a follow-through balance with them afterwards. It was good, too!
These days, I do my meridian massage and “zipping-up, switching-on and tuning-in” daily. Really feeling good!
