What occurred was something that shocked me, for I had never burned my skin off before. I will show you in the video below, yet during the process it wasn’t easy for me to photograph. Plus, I am even surprised that I did the little documenting of the healing process for it was challenging to both keep the faith of believing I was dong the right thing and talking to others about what I had occurred, for many simply looked at my leg and said they would be seeking an emergency room immediately.
It happened on a 25 degree morning, I was camping in the backcountry desert next to Mt Graham near Safford, AZ. The bitter temperature that night had me anxious for the Sunrise, as it was in the low twenties as I left my tent to restart the fire from the night before. Plenty of cactus wood near by, yet at this point I was shivering and completely huddled around the fire as I witnessed the sun dance on the horizon. It was a beautiful scene on earth, this magical time had me facing the sun, with my back to the fire and I was simply in awe of gratitude for this moment. Then, before I really knew what was going on from this deeper state of consciousness, my pants where on fire and the smell of my flesh burning was immediate.
Stop, drop and roll while watching out for the cactus all around me! I frantically stopped the flames and was in shock with what had just happened. Yeah, I stood to close to the fire and lost focus of the physical while I felt the warmth of sun on my face, and completely burned the skin off my calf/back part of my lower right leg…
Of course it is still very cold and I felt a calling to engage Reiki and other healing frequencies that I have been attuned with. I stayed by the fire holding space of optimal healing and thanking the universe for what had just happened. The feeling of being better washed over my body, creating the feelings of optimal wellness and holding that within through and around my body as the skin hung off the back of my leg took some serious grounding into the planet. Deep within my core, I felt the process of life-force tingle all my skin and I knew the healing was starting….The hike back to my car was just over a mile and the 20 deg temps made it for a fast pace. Back at the car, I still am on a dirt road, unpaved for the last 4 miles in the backcountry and I know there still is a 22 mile drive to the nearest town. Never mind that, I am freezing and in some serious pain, plus I have to hike back and pack up my tent….
Everything started to pour in to my consciousness of what to do and was reminded that it was simply to be, one step at a time, focus on the NOW and do what I can with what I have. Reiki was it, I asked spirit to guide me to the most effective and positive healing experience. Listening to inner guidance when a HUGE physical pain is taking place, does take skill. Being calm, cool and collected in the midst of injury has been a specialty of mine for supporting others, yet now it was my time….
After going into town (3 hours post burn) and connecting with a diner for a warm breakfast, while still wearing the same clothes, it was a pleasure to connect with a few local women about “rockhounding.” That is why I was out in the desert, to find a very rare, unique “tekitite” called Cintamani Stone. Visions had brought me to this place on Gaia and even though my leg was badly burned, I was still where I was and felt the urge to continue on with what my intuition was guiding me to do. These women gave me some quality directions to another dirt toad to the east of town and during my feeding I was able to connect to my life partner. She guided me to lather my wound in raw honey (beyond GRATEFUL I had with me, along with Doterra Essential Oils and Colloidal Silver) and wrap it with syran wrap still I sought out medical treatment. The diner graciously gave me the entire roll of plastic wrap and I was parked on main street, in freezing temps, still not having done anything to my leg other then energy work. I did my first of many honey wraps kneeling on the street next to my car…..
The process in which my skin repaired itself was aided by multiple daily applications of the following:
Daily Reiki Energy Practice
Raw Aloe Plant
Essential Oils (Pure, therapeutic grade) ~ Frankincense, Melaleuca, Lavender,
Colloidal Silver
Raw, Organic Honey
It had been 44 days and in the deepest part of the wound had healed with a highly pink, new layer of skin. No more scabs, yet my skin was seriously itchy. The torchere of NOT being able to touch and apply scratching was beyond difficult. I did two weeks later scratch so much that I almost ripped open my skin. I stopped applying honey on day 33 of this process, where it had become about a silver dollar in circumference bandage to cover the wounded area.
I took a huge risk with my physical wellness, yet harnessing mental health, social health, emotional health and spiritual health through daily engagement to expedite healing. Going to a modern medical facility was not chosen and placing trust in the universe that it would heal from the inside out, as we all do…..
