It was difficult, but it was something he has needed for a while. It was hard seeing his underlying bitterness and anger that was beyond what a normal three-year-old would have.

He is much happier now on a deeper level, which made it all worth it. He still has his usual tantrums, as is normal for his age, but he doesn’t carry that anger and bitterness around with him. He is also starting to use the arm he injured more. Thanks.

Despite your caring, the healing ritual must have been very difficult carry out. Whew, I would have found that tough. How wonderful that he is doing better and now is free to heal more within. Blessings to you and all your family.

Thanks. I added the MetaPagan widget. Lots of great articles there. I highly recommend people read them (and add the widget to their blogs too).

What a powerful story. Thank you for sharing it here. (I have posted it to MetaPagan, under both the Pagan parenting and spiritual experiences tags.)

I agree. We have always seen western medicine and doctors as having a specific place in our lives. That place mainly is when there is an acute medical problem, such as he had when he burned himself. But their expertise is limited to those specific acute conditions. Beyond that, we believe in Traditional Chinese Medicine and, more importantly, ritual and prayer. Those are what heal all bodies, not just the physical one.

Thanks for the comment.

Wow — what at amazing time for your family. May the healing continue for your little Warrior and for all of you. You are to be commended for caring so much and for taking the time to truly help your son through this. I think so many of us would be tempted to rely on doctors and others to “fix it,” but really, the responsibility lies primarily within the hearth.

That is definitely important, especially in this frantic society that promotes everything except balance and harmony. Thanks for the comment.

Thank you so much for sharing this. You touched upon a really important point about Pagan parents helping to heal their children where modern medicine lacks. We do that as well. We also hope to teach Sophia to maintain the balance within and harmony without that will help her maintain a healthy body, mind and soul.

Thank you. His fever broke this morning, so things are looking up. We definitely learned a lot through all this, both about us as parents and about our children. *hug*

I’m sorry your son had to suffer this injury. I applaud that as parents you saw his need to find further healing even if the physical scars are gone. I hope your ritual will help him to move on in this area of his life. *hugs*
