poltr1This weekend, we went to Columbus to visit our good friends Carol & Steve (mentioned in previous entries as C & S), and to take The Girl to the healing horses at Serendipity Stables. The Girl has had chronic problems with not eating and being not gaining weight. Carol had previously mentioned the stables -- she knows the owner and assisted in a fundraiser for them last year -- and suggested that we bring The Girl to visit the horses there, in order to help figure out why.
Sat 11/13: Same old, same old. Started off as a typical Saturday -- I wake up with The Girl and fix her breakfast, The Wife wakes up a couple of hours later, we spend the morning at home, and we go driving in the afternoon so that The Girl can get a nap in the car seat while we drive around.
Late in the afternoon, we left for Columbus. We arrived about 6 pm and unloaded the car. Steve soon came home from work. We had pizza for dinner, talked, and watched some of The Girl's Baby Einstein videos that we brought up with us.
Sun 11/14: Tried to sleep in. The inflatable mattress was comfortable, but unfamiliar. I don't sleep well the first night in beds I haven't slept in before. We got up, Steve cooked breakfast, and we continued where we left off last night.
In the afternoon, after Steve went off to work, we drove with Carol to Serendipity Stables, near York Corners. It's about a 45-minute drive from Columbus. This is the farm where Magical Mac, the famous "Healing Horse" lived. Even though Mac has passed on, there are other horses on the farm that have the same ability.
On the second Sunday of every month, the stables have an "open house" session where people bring their children for diagnosis and healing energy. When we arrived, there were several people on the site, with their children. There was also a filmmaker there, producing a documentary about these horses.
Charm was the first horse brought in for work. There were two children ahead of us to see the horse; M was the third child to visit Charm. She was very fidgety at first, but calmed down as soon as she was placed onto Charm's back. R said The Girl appeared to go into some sort of trance while she was on the horse. (I was too busy taking pictures to notice closely.)
Through the farm's owner, who acted as the horses' interpreter, Charm said The Girl is very psychically sensitive to her surroundings, and that her body chemistry was acidic. We were advised to feed her one raw potato slice a day in order to normalize the body chemistry.
We also attended a session on Activator Methods chiropractic technique, that was given by a Columbus chiropractor (Dr. Chris). The main instrument used is called an Activator -- a spring-loaded device that delivers a quick tap to a small localized area. Several of us -- including me -- were invited to hop up on the table and experience it first-hand. Its main function is to remove neural blocks. A "hit" from the Activator is kind of like being hit with a paintball. It may sting for a second, but goes away quickly. I'll have to ask my regular chiropractor about it the next time I see him. (While I've seen him carry a similar device, I've never had him use it on me.)
We returned home to Carol & Steve's house around 4 pm. We left around 6, and arrived home around 7:30.
