My son and my inner child

My son, Andrew, has severe Post Traumatic Stress Disorder from his time in an Indian Orphanage, and last night, he was extremely freaked out by all the wind. So, after school, I had him listen to some EMDR, (alternate pinging sounds in each ear to help the brain access the resources of both hemispheres in dealing with trauma), while I sat on the bed and began tapping on his "collar bone point" that I learned in EFT.

I deeply and powerfully, with all the forces of my mind, emotions, heart, and energy, communicated the silent though to him, that YOU ARE SAFE, as I kept tapping. Then, I began to tap on my collar bone point at the same time. Then, the miracle.

I realize that in helping him, I am helping my child who also has terror issues, who also was traumatized, and who also is looking for danger around every corner of life.

Later that night, I laid in the bed with him, to help him feel safe. As the wind howled and clamored and pushed against the house, again, I had him listen to the EMDR recording. I began to do circular breathing, breathing the center of my heart up through my head, into the Universe, and rolling that Transcendent Love back down and into him. I imagined that my ENERGY HANDS, were holding his head, communicating to him that he was safe.

I then held him: this beautiful boy from India with a wonderful smile and a quirky personality who went through more than any human being should ever experience as a child.

In holding him, I also held myself: that beautiful boy with a big smile growing up in Colorado Springs, walking through the land of demons and broken beer bottles and overflowing ashtrays and screaming and yelling and monsters that sneak up in the night.

Andrew was me. I was him. I am sure 9 year old Danny and 9 year old Andrew would have a BALL wreaking havoc and causing mischief!!!
