Touch For Health Application Sharing
Chen Biming, October 30, 2015
An emergency message was broadcast on the High Speed Rail cart, ” … A train staff member suddenly feels sick. If there is any doctor or paramedics on site, please go to compartment no. 9 to offer assistance ”. Chen Bi Ming was wondering what was going on. She collected herself and then walked towards the compartment no. 9. The staff office, which was a tiny place, was packed with people filled with all kinds of noises. Some were offering some herbal medicine prescriptions. Others were talking about painkillers and medicinal oil in their bags. Gradually, I figured out that the service woman was suffering from unbearable menstrual pain.
After introducing their folk remedies, two women left the office. Only then was I able to see her, sitting on a chair, legs crossed in a meditation posture and hands tightly on her stomach, like a tumbler wobbling to and from, and her body trembling. I spoke to the conductor, ” Well, I’m not a doctor, and I do have some techniques to make her more comfortable. May I give it a try? ” The conductor immediately responded, “Fantastic! Please!” With her consent, too, I leaned over for her Positive Points (Editor’s Note: Positive Points is a movement from Brain Gym). She mentioned that she wanted to throw up as my hands touched her. The conductor immediately handed her a plastic bag and opened it for her. All she did was holding onto it firmly for about a minute or so, and then she stopped wobbling. I asked her, “Can you feel your own breath?” She shook her head. Two minutes later, she slowly sat straight, took out a bottle of mineral water from her belly, glanced at it and put it back. The conductor asked, “Is the water still warm? Want another bottle?” She said, ”That’s fine!” At that time, I knew she was warming her belly with a hot water bottle. The conductor spoke to me, “Seems like she is much better now. She was on her knees in the toilet, overcomed by the pain. We were not aware of her situation at first. We did have passengers feeling discomfort before, but never our own staff member. Are you a doctor? ” I replied, “No, I am a registered Touch for Health instructor. ” The conductor said, “I forgot you had just said that you were not a doctor. You sent healing energy to her?” I answered no and then explained briefly on what I have done in order to clear the doubts.
Then, someone said a doctor had arrived. As soon as he came in and learnt about her situation, he sent his assistant beside him to fetch for some medicine in his tool kit. He told the conductor, “This drug should be taken after a meal. Please get her something to eat before having the medicine.” With that instruction, he left. I asked her how she was feeling. She said, “I can feel my faint breath, but I am cold.” The conductor asked someone to get a blanket while she touched her hand. “Wow! So cold!” And I felt her forehead sweating. The conductor began to ask her about her menstrual cycle, she gave some short, simple answers. From their conversational exchanges, her condition appeared to have stabilized.
Someone then delivered a white pill. The conductor asked if she would take it. She said, “I have already taken once in the morning. I am not taking it now. ” Previously, she said yes to all the suggestions of taking medication and applying ointment. The conductor saw that her state had improved a lot. She looked at me and I smiled back: “I will continue to do that until she has enough of it.” The conductor put a blanket on her, said some comforting words to her, turned to thank me and left for work.
About twenty minutes of Positive points on her forehead, she said, “I am okay now. Want to go to the rest room to lie down for a while.” I said, ” Do I need to do anything else?” She replied, “No, I can take care of myself. Thank you very much! ”
Watching her holding onto the blanket, heading toward compartment no. 8 until I could see her no more, I was still standing there – deep in my thoughts.
