Marshas Personal History
The history on this page is a little personal history simply to give an idea of how I came to be working in this field and how by finding a Tera~MaiTMteaching master our lives were changed completely.
At the start of my 25th year I became very unwell and nine months later was diagnosed with M.E. or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.At that time my husband and myself had two children aged 7 and 2 years old.I 'managed' as best I could and life progressed comfortably enough until after the birth of our third child, a year and a half later.When he was a mere 4 weeks old I completely collapsed physically and that was to be the pattern of my life for the next three years.My husband had to leave work to care for me and for our children and I yo-yoed in and out of bed, sometimes spending as long as 4 weeks at a time without being able to manage to get dressed.I was in constant pain and when able to get up and dress I had to take high dosage pain killers before rising in the morning.Life became unbearable.
A few months before my 31st birthday,near the end of 2000, I had a huge urge to visit the Samye Ling Tibetan centre at Eskdalemuir and so we borrowed a wheelchair and set off.The day was miserable for me.My pain physically was intense and the emotional pain caused by my being in a wheelchair was overwhelming.I sat and watched as my family all tied ribbons onto the prayer tree and felt numb.I so wanted to be with them but was completely unable to walk the short distance to the tree.I had not prayed in all of my adult life.I had no clear idea either way on the existance or non existance of God but that day the prayer fell from my mouth with no thought.I prayed.........'Well God,is this it? Is this the whole point of this lifetime for me? Is this to be my 'experience' this time around?If so I've had enough of it and really can't take any more of it.If there is another purpose for me bring it on,I'm ready now.If there is nothing else I'll be back with you soon because I can't take any more of this.'.......... From that day forth I started to recover.
Weeks later a friend asked if I would like to visit a healer.I was able to go and had a healing session which left me pain free for 3 days! I took a meditation class and started to self heal using visualisation and when I rang the healer I visited to ask if she could recommend a teaching master so I could train in healing myself she told me she had been to have her mastership initiation 2 days previously.She told me plainly that she has taken the mastership for the energy only and had no intention of teaching anyoneI persuaded her to train me.David then decided to train with me so he could give me healing sessions as often as I needed them because they helped me so much.
Years later here I am.After much hard work,soul searching,emotional resurfacing and clearing using healing energies and innate trance healing abilities I found within myself.Emotionally,mentally and spiritually well again.
I thank All That Is for Kathleen Milner and Tera~MaiTM every day.I am thankful for all of the people put in my path for me to stumble over and learn from.I am thankful for being able to get up in the morning under my own steam with no pain killers.I am thankful for the breath in my body.Most of all I am thankful for my husband,David, because I am not certain that I would ever have recovered and have had the opportunity to rediscover myself without his love and constant support.
I thank All That Is and am forever thankful.
