off the front and the back of the navel centre for 20 mins I could feel the field change and unify in one beautiful moment. For Jenny she said “something moved and felt like a clunk in her stomach” she was able to drink and eat normally afterwards as the pranic field now allowed her digestive system to function as normal. We both were very relieved. Same island, next day, I was asked if I could help the old lady down the beach who owned and ran the beach shop which comprised of a simple door resting on two trestles. She sold fruit, biscuits and cigarettes under a palm tree next to the walking track that meandered along the beach in front down to the surf at Lakey Peak. I agreed, as you can’t surf all day. So in the cool of the afternoon I walked down the beach and in my broken Indonesian asked “halo apa kabar ibu“ meaning how are you mother (for respect of senior women younger people use mother or ibu when addressing them). After back and forth conversations I understood she suffered long term headaches, neck and shoulder pain and sore hips. The location of the pain and her descriptions matched a wood imbalance (liver and gallbladder) and the area on her body matched perfectly with gallbladder meridians that flowed through the hips, neck and shoulders wrapping her head. I see these symptoms daily in Australia with patients usually caused by swallowing or controlling some aspect of yourself through words and emotions (usually frustration). Normally, the emotional congestion would be processed and balanced from the energy throat centre first, then the associated meridians in this case gallbladder and liver meridians would be opened and balanced. Energy governs strength, flexibility and function in the body, it has the potential to cause numerous symptoms and conditions if imbalanced. Here I was In remote Indonesia with an elderly Muslim woman, barefoot only wearing a sarong and 20 locals gathered around watching intently so my treatment approach had to be modified accordingly as she sat on a chair in front of me. I balanced the throat centre of her body to the gallbladder organ to release the pressure of her pain. This improved her headache by her emerging smile saying “ halo apa kabar ibu” meaning “no pain” so I knew I was on the right track. Thirty minutes later the gallbladder meridian at GB1’s (next to the eyes) felt much better and the headache was completely gone. (Sometimes this will work other times it won’t depending on the cause especially if its emotional stress - I got lucky with her) The pain through her hips and shoulders also released by balancing other points along the gallbladder meridian at GB21’s and GB44’s until she was pain free. She was overcome with joy and with tears in her eyes gave me her last bunch of bananas as a thank you - absolute priceless moment for me I’ll never forget it. Over the rest of my 2 week holiday I agreed (with an interpreter to help me) to treat 2 locals per day from 4pm to 6 pm under the palm tree next to the “shop”. Ibu and many others got relief, and in most situations stayed pain free in the 2 weeks I was there. Obviously, some conditions need western medicine or surgery to resolve pain and discomfort, however in these situations I was able to heal many people from young girls with urinary tract infections, older fishermen with shoulder pain from lifting boats, to the a local Shaman from a foot injury caused by excess dancing and being old - all were incredible experiences. I returned to Hu Hu Sumbawa the following years for surf holidays and continued to treat and help locals under the same palm tree next to the “shop” sharing my knowledge and receiving so much more than I gave from the love and appreciation from people who really needed help. I hope to return one day and see Ibu and many locals that became good friends. The surfing experience was vastly enriched by these experiences with locals that moved me in so many ways. The realisation of the gift of giving was now a treasured lesson for me and I look forward to helping people in third world countries again in future surf adventures.
