A Strange Encounter



A funny thing happened at Mollymook Beach last week.

My wife Lynne and I were walking along the waterfront when a woman passed us going in the other direction. She was slim, bright, in her late forties, wearing a tracksuit and she seemed so full of life that she fairly danced by.

Then she came back and said to Lynne, “You’re in pain.” 

Mollymook Beach, NSW
We wouldn’t have argued about that. Lynne has a dry hip joint that needs replacing and she walks with difficulty. Her pain is obvious. 

Bright as a button, the woman said. “My name is Vicki and I’m a Christian healer. I pray for people and they get better. I can help you with that.”

We had nothing to lose so we sat on a park bench while she put her hands on Lynne’s hip and prayed to Jesus, asking him to help.  Judging by the number of times she used his name I thought she was probably on pretty good terms with him.

After three or four minutes she said, “There. That will continue to get better over the next few days.” Then she gave us each a text card and left and we watched her bounding along until she was out of sight. An extraordinary lady.

So what does that have to do with Dimmiga Berg? In Chapter 5 of the novel I described a healing energy that makes use of the human aura and which the subject feels as warmth – even though no direct contact is necessary between the healer and the subject. Vicki was able to generate that kind of heat during even that brief session.  

So, did it work? I’d love to say that it had but sadly that wasn’t the case and Lynne will still need modern medical help if she is to get any relief. Even so, it was an interesting experience and Vicki is a fascinating woman.

  1. I love meeting interesting people on holiday. Part of what makes it special.

    1. Definitely. In 1988 I had a workshop to attend in tropical North Queensland but Lynne was studying, so I went on my own. The variety of people I met was amazing. A couple of years later we went back there together and scarcely met anybody. One person alone can make friends very quickly.

  2. So the transference of energy is something I have long held as real . . . although it can have a calming effect (warming as you mentioned), the warmth dissipates and usually has no lasting effect. I have encountered similar energy when practicing Tai Chi on occasion . . . Most find that a focus point is needed. This woman sounded like she used “Jesus” or the concept of Jesus as hers.

    1. I've done quite a lot of energy work. It's the method I used to empower my gods in Mistress. And you're right -- it's very similar to the energy generated in Tai Chi. Intriguing stuff.

      Thanks for the comment. :)
