Scar Pain Went Like a Snap
Amy Choi, 29 July 2011, Hong Kong, China
On a hot summer day in July, my whole family went to the Shek O beach in Hong Kong for a swim. It was sunny that day, and the sea was calm. We decided to hire a rubber raft to play around the shallow waters. After I had enough rafting, I went back to the sandy beach and rested under the shade of a tree. Not long after that, my elder son Yu Yat ran to me, looking a bit disturbed. He said he felt pain on the scar under his chin.
“How could that be?” I thought. The scar was left on his skin after an accident five to six years ago. At that time, he was only six or seven years old. He fell on the stairs in his grandfather’s house when he went there to visit relatives in the ancestral village in southern China. The wound had long been healed since then. How come he could feel pain on the scar even now? “Did you scratch the scar on the raft?” I asked. “No,” he replied. He then told me that ever since that accident, he would feel pain on the scar whenever he went swimming on the beach.
Some possible explanations came out to my mind – perhaps there was still stressful memory or emotional trauma related with the accident, or the wound was simply sensitive to salty water. No matter what the reason could be, I knew it would be best to deal with it on the spot by doing a balance. I immediately asked him to think of the scar, while using a clear indicator muscle to check on him. The muscle tested unlock, meaning, there could be some stress related to the scar. Then, I checked which correction technique to use – it was Touch for Health® Emotional Stress Release Points (E.S.R. or Positive Points in Brain Gym®). I asked Yat to hold the two points on his forehead by himself. Then, he patiently stood there and held them. Not even half a minute had passed. He grinned and said, “Now, it is not painful any more.” I tested his muscle again. It was locked. I questioned him once again as if I couldn’t believe such a “miracle” could happen so quickly, “Really, not painful at all?” He said, “Not at all.” Then, he bounced happily towards the ocean and went swimming again.
I am grateful I can use these techniques to help my family.
