I have learned a lot from my half-blind acupuncturist, Pong Neri. Take for example my unhealthy reaction to the three-week long drilling and hammering in the unit below our condo. It has taxed my patience. My acupuncturist pointed out that I may have depleted the energy of my thyroid gland as well as my liver, also my kidneys.

According to Barbara Eden in her ” Energy Medicine”, in Japan “it is recognized that blind people often develop an enhanced attunement for energy. They are encouraged to study acupuncture because they make some of the finest practitioner.”

My sister in the States told me I am very lucky to avail of the services of an acupuncturist at a relatively inexpensive rate. She had to stop her treatment after a year although she felt she still needed it because of the high cost and it is not included in their health insurance.

Back to my noise problem. I tried getting help from my Ho’oponopono practice. I  surrendered to divinity what  I could not fix. I tried to contain the noise with the help of my husband who asked the building engineer to impose the rules and to insist the repair job be done within working hours.

I used Esther Hick’s guidance on focusing on what I want and not on what I didn’t like. Sadly I know my thoughts more often than not focused  on my irritation over the noise.

I applied the urban shaman’s instruction not to absolve the creators of the noise: “Whatever they did come from their own beliefs, attitude and expectations and to whatever degree they made conscious choices to do harm they are subject to the laws of society.”

“It is important to realize your part in the event so that you can change the factors in yourself that helped bring it about. If the power was in you to create it, then the power is in you to change it”
