chikitsa

been a while since I have been here...

and i have a little confession

i began seeing clients... or as I can now refer to them as patients... and for the most part i feel pretty good... however my client this week is a really hard case and I felt like i really couldn't help her.

I felt like she really needed treatment that is beyond my abilities at this point... and then last night, i think i came through...

our lecture was regarding chikitsa... which is sanskrit for treatment... and suddenly this world started to really open up to me again... and i realized that although I feel a bit like I really need to have more tools at my disposal... I have only been in school since october...

and I guess my understanding is rather incredible considering that...

so I feel more confident than I have in a while... and i tell you this while also feeling like i really wish that I had three weeks off and then started a new trimester... i am sad that I have to wait until january to continue... but i guess it is also an opportunity to see what i do understand...
