I think hearing the sound of children would freak me out. Had it happened since or just the two times?

Healers can do really odd things and release a whole lot of strange energy. I had two similar experiences in my life.

The first one I was 16 and going to a ceramics studio not a healer. I had been having some family issues and was upset still when I got there. Nothing external like crying or hysteria, but internally mulling things over.

When I walked in there was a man sitting at the table who looked up and said Hello Robbin I have been waiting for you. Well ok so I did call and tell him my name and that I would be up. So I didn't think too much of it, until I sat down do work on the piece I brought with me and he proceeded to tell me about the issue I was having with my family. Right down to the color of a vehicle. I was shocked to say the least.

The second had to do with having a Chakra cleansing. I had never had this done before and used to have my nails done by someone who was very involved in wicca. I am non-judgemental and was like whatever. So she asked me if I would be interested as she was just starting out and needed to practice. Me being a good sport said sure.

This ritual involves you lying down, keeping your eyes closed, regulating your breathing and the cleanser placing stones at various points on the body and 'manipulating' the energy above the chakra's. At least this one did and this is the only one of these I had.

My eyes were closed with no peeking so I had no clue what she was doing, she could have been drinking coffee for all I knew. Although I did know that she was placing stones and crystals on me as I could feel them. She began to place her hands over the chakra points, that is what she told me I did not see it.

I do know that I began to choke and gasp for breath for no apparent reason. At which point she told me she was moving on to the next point. The next thing I knew I burst into tears and I mean sob. For no reason I am not prone to such outbursts and outside of this instance it has never happened. Again I was told that she was moving on. A few minutes later the room began to spin and I asked her why was that happening. Again she moved on. From there on it was unremarkable until I asked her to remove the stone from my forehead as it was burning and was told that stone had been removed almost immediately.

When this session was over we discussed the choking and the tears and the spinning. The choking is apparently common among women who have been sexually abused and happens when the hands are over the throat as was the stated case with me. When I burst into tears she was over my heart, I was in the middle of a bad breakup. The spinning was her moving her hands in a circle above my abdomen. Now again I had my eyes closed, so I could not see anything.

I do not believe for one second that my friend was leading me on in anyway. You think what you like, I got a really nice rock to keep, and I felt much more peaceful after, but that could have been from all the lying down :)

Your experience reminded me of something that happened to me. I was visiting some of the Hudson River mansions and was on a tour. I peeked into one of the rooms and "saw" a woman sitting at the window in what I think was a 1900's dress with brown hair up and she turned and looked at me and that was it.

When I say "saw" I know that I didn't see it with my eyes at all because I can still picture it and I could see the area perfectly and yet there was this image of the woman in my mind's eye-or thats the best way I can explain it.  It wasn't scary or weird-just kind of cool. I often wonder if when people say that they see apparitions and that they are transparent is this same type of phenomena. I don't think that I saw a "ghost"-I don't think it was someone who was once alive reliving anything or something like that. Unfortunately I was the only one in the area so I couldn't ask if anyone else had the same experience like you did!
