Funny thing took place today. I went into an office and needed some

information from this one women and I needed it yesterday. Well

when

I sat down and started to ask her for the information that I needed,

she interrupted me and began to explain how she had a very bad

headache and how I was supposed to be patient with her.

 

Well my first reaction was to inform her that I did not have to be

patient for anybody and if she has a problem she should get out of

her chair and take her fat ass home and stop slowing everyone else

around her down by projecting her problems onto anyone who came near

her. But, I didn't . . .

 

. . .instead I asked her about her headache. She said it

was

located about here in her head and it was causing her vision to blur

and she felt dizzy.

 

I asked if hurt really badly?

 

" Well yes, that's what I said! " she shoot back.

 

I then asked her if she wanted to play for a minute, and she

consented. I then lead her through the drill for relieving

headaches. You know, the one that uses dynamic tension. Any way

she

resisted cause there were other people in the office and she said

she

felt stupid. So I said fine I'll do it with you at the same time.

She felt batter but still didn't understand why she was doing these

strange esoteric things.

 

Well when we had finished she looked at me kind of funny and asked

me

what I needed. I asked her and she got me the information, in about

five seconds. I got up and left.

 

About twenty minuets later I had to go back into that office. As

soon as I walked in the door I was assaulted by questions

like, " what

was that? " " where can I find out more about that kind of stuff? " .

The lady I helped then told me that her headache was completely gone

and her neck even felt better. I guess she's had migraines for

years

and they usually take her out all day. After more pestering from

her

and some of her co-workers I told them to get Donna's book.

 

As I was leaving her office for the second time she asked me why I

had never showed her that before? I know was only kidding and being

facetious but I answered her anyway.

 

" Your problem never got in my way before. "

 

I smiled and walked away.
