I again worked on John in the assisted living community.  This time, a couple of things happened that struck me as unusual.

Initially, we had an issue with the nursing aides.  He was in his wheel chair, and they were working with other patients, and did not have time to get him into the bed.  They also said that they had just gotten him up and they wanted him to stay up longer.  (Having him sit in his wheel chair made it harder on me giving him Reiki, and harder on him receiving it as he usually falls asleep.)  Deciding not to create more negative energy, I didn't get nasty with them, though I could have.  After all, I was there as a healthcare practitioner and should be given the same consideration any treatment provider is given.  I started working while John was in the chair. 

John wanted to get into bed, but it was nothing I was going to try to do.  It was really something the nurses needed to deal with.  This did not make him happy, and I could feel myself getting a little upset at the idea.  I am wondering if I was angry, or I was picking up his anger.  It could be either. 

At any rate, I kept on working, and John fell asleep, at least as best as he could sitting up.  Finally, someone came and put him in the bed. 

I continued to work on him after he was laying down.  One thing that kept popping up was that I kept remembering the death of my dog back in February.  This is not something I think about a lot, if at all.  But it kept popping into my thoughts.  I know that sometimes memories of things can be brought forward into one's consciousness to prepare for some future event.  I'm not saying that this was the case, but it was just weird how it kept happening.  (Medium John Edward keeps saying that when he contacts the spirits, he doesn't talk with them in speech.  He sees images.  His brain is one big filing cabinet that the spirits can go through to bring up images from to lead him to understand what they want to say.)

One other thing happened that took me back for a moment.  I was working in his chest area, and he looked at me and asked “are you going to be ok?”.  Now, he was not asking if I was alright, but if I was going to be alright. 

I know that people in his condition are very open to receive messages from the other side.  I initially wondered if someone was asking him to ask that question.  Or maybe a spirit was asking through him.  I have been going through some rough times dealing with money problems with the business, and physical problems.  Maybe someone wants me to start focusing on myself so that I can overcome my problems.

Another option that was suggested to me is that John wants to make sure that those around him will be alright once he's gone.   I don't know that this is the case either. 

Either way, it is all very interesting.  It definitely took me aback.  I guess I will have to meditate on these to see if I can find an answer.
