One client of
mine was a teenage boy of 11 years of age who had autism and teretts
syndrome. He had recently been diagnosed at the B.C childrens hospital
and had a particularly bad case of teretts where he had a bad facial tick.His mother attended all the sessions with him.
She had mentioned that he was getting quite violent at school and home and would start to attack other children and even his mother a few times. This was part of his behaviour with the teretts and the autism. When I asked the boy he said that he was trying so hard to control his facial tick, as he would get teased and felt uncomfortable at school. But unfortunately,by bottling up and holding himself back, by the end of the schoolday he was ready to explode as he couldn't control his tick any longer. I really felt for the boy and how much he felt affected by his condition, he was quite aware of himself. The mother had mentioned that he had been put on medication, for a few days, but he took himself of them .They wanted to try something alternative.
The first session the boy greeted me with a big smile and said "I have been waitng for this"after asking him a few questions about his behaviour, he said he did not like what he was doing.He wanted to try and help himself. The boy was very open to the Reiki session. I started out by getting him to lay down on the massage bed, then used reiki to calm him down. His body was quite tense and twitchy. Interestingly as I scanned his body I went to his head and I could feel a buzzing energy around it. I placed my hands on their for a while. When I mentioned it to the boy, he said he could feel it, and then said " I felt an energy shift", to my amazement at that moment the boy, blew a puff of air out of his mouth. I asked him if he is o.k and he said it was a air packet from his head. I could feel the energy had shifted and he commented my head is calm now.
The boy them placed my hand over the same spot on his head and said " hold my head" . He actually had a smile on his face and was very relaxed. He mentioned that his tick was not happening and said how happy he was about that. He told me that was the first time in ages, that his facial tick had completely stopped. I was so happy for him.This was a big ordeal for him, he said he felt good and calm.
I continued with the session for about 20 minutes longer after the inital hands on his head. By the time I was finished he was fast asleep and asked me if he could come again. It was a priveledge to work with him, he was very responsive to the sessions.
