CHAPTER SEVEN

More Magic Than Medicine

In the aftermath of my healing with Martin Brofman, I felt as vulnerable as a baby. It was a miserable feeling and yet I knew that something had changed within me. I dreamed I was in a house where the plumbing system was leaking from every joint in the pipework and I found it strange that I had to go up to the attic to fix it. I knew when I awoke that this dream related to the sense I had of old emotions seeping from every muscle, and ‘going up to the attic’ to solve the problem represented exploring my consciousness. I was astonished, all over again, by the wisdom and eloquence of the images my subconscious mind presented me with when I slept.

When I came to do my meditation in the morning and visualized the centres of my energy, I perceived them as different. The colour of the root chakra was a brighter and deeper red and the roots seemed to go deep into the earth. Some colours that I had perceived only indistinctly before now seemed bright and immediate. This surprised me. I could feel a change but I had not expected to ‘see’ a change in my own energy so effortlessly. It was astonishing to me that this could be the effect of another person using his energy to heal mine.

There was an even greater shock waiting for me when I sat down the next day to get back to work. The first draft of my book about my ancestor, John Parkinson, the herbalist, was finished. The task of revising and editing it lay in front of me and I felt the time to start that had come. I sat down and read the first couple of lines of the preface I had written and stopped. I couldn’t believe what I was reading. Or rather, I couldn’t believe that I was now understanding what I had written for the first time.

The first page of this book of 180 pages began, ‘I never lived with my father.’ I had written this because the inspiration for my book about John Parkinson was the 1629 book that was one of my father’s most precious possessions. I wanted to explain that it wasn’t familiar to me as I grew up because I never lived with him, so discovering the book as an adult had a greater impact on me. Yet now, as I read this line, I saw in it my profound unconscious need to establish links with my father that had never existed for me in his lifetime. I understood that my passion for this book, and the world it connected me to, began after my father died and reflected my deepest feelings that I had failed as his daughter because I had never been able really to communicate with him. That feeling was compounded by the terms of my father’s will, revealed six months after his death. He had chosen to leave each of his children different amounts of money.
