My grandsons are here visiting for a week helping me decorate for Christmas; Talon is 7 years old and Jayce is 5, it has been a long time since I had to keep up with this much energy. We went to a local Christmas tree farm over the weekend; searching until everyone agreed we found the perfect tree. Here is a picture of my grandsons with the youngest one appearing to play with the sun by moving his hand across a ball of energy.
I mention this because I was working with him this morning because of a lingering cough. His mom gave me permission to do a BioEnergy session with him, so we started our 4 day session this morning. During the session, he mentioned several times that he was bored; that’s fair as I was asking him to sit in one place for 15 minutes. Interestingly when I placed my hands over his chest I noticed he was staring at my hands, then he started shaking his head. He never looked at me, just my hands covering his chest while he shook his head. I asked him, “What are you doing, why are you shaking your head no? Don’t you want your cough to go away?” I couldn’t believe it when he said no and that he liked his cough and the sound it made. To make sure I understood, I received a convincing demonstration. We did end up finishing the session but I was left with the impression that he might try and keep his cough. Only three more sessions to go.

I had a thought that maybe this reluctance can be a key to change, since what he likes is the sound. Maybe finding ways for him to make equally satifying sounds or recording his cough, so he can have the fun of listening to it, even when it’s no longer there. Maybe some thing very creative he can do to have the fun of it without the “illness.”
