I met Simon while we were both attending Bikram Yoga Teacher Training Fall 2014 in Khao Lak, Thailand. I heard of his healing practices through my roommate. She had scraped her knee during the first weekend at the beach, and had told me how Simon had healed it for her. Before leaving for TT I had pulled a muscle in between my shoulder blades. I was doing hard labor on a small organic farm and continued to aggregate it, making it worse and concentrating the pain into my left shoulder. At TT it had become a big enough problem that I was considering going home – I was totally at a loss of what to do. Once I had heard about Simon, I set out to meet him. A day or so later when we finally met, he looked at me, and asked, if I had ever been an addict. He told me about some problems I have had with my mum, and mentioned if I let go of some things my left shoulder would be fine. I was totally blown away! He even knew exactly where the pain was without even glancing at me for more than a second and knew a bit about my history. His intuitiveness peaked my interest even more and a couple of days later he set out to do some energy work before lecture. Simon mentioned I’d need more sessions in a place where he could concentrate more. This was just to start. We sat down in a row of chairs, he propped my hand up on a towel in my lap, closed his eyes, and put his hand, outstretched, over mine. I began to direct my thoughts to my shoulder, my back, and my heart. In what seemed like seconds, my shoulder began to crack, it began to creak, to move around – I literally felt everything in there being deconstructed, like a giant knot untying itself. Then more creaking and cricking, I could tell it was knitting itself back together. A huge weight began to lift off of my shoulders. I kept my eyes open throughout the experience, too afraid to close them and lose any focus or awareness of what was happening. When I looked down at Simon’s had over mine, I could actually see the energy passing between us. It looked like wind. I don’t know how much time passed, ten or twenty minutes, but at the end I felt so much lighter than before. The pain was gone too, the pain that had been relentless for at least a week or more. After the “healing”, Simon wrote on a scrap of paper what I needed to say before falling asleep, and just as I woke every morning. I was apologizing, thanking, and giving my Higher Power the love I’d never shown it before. In a way I was honoring myself in a way I had never done before. Over the next week the pain subsided, then came back a little and moved around a bit, and ultimately disappeared – like it was never there. Simon is an amazing individual, with the most kind heart tucked in that big broad chest of his. I am home now from Training and I miss seeing his smile every day – I’m not sure I’ve met anyone with eyes that exhude the brilliance that his do. Its pure life force pouring out into bright sunlight.
