Her gift to me continues to inspire my work as well as my health. She was an amazing healer, who believed each person had and right to be healthy. A few years later I felt the interest to see her again, but she had died earlier that year at 88. She told me I was fine and to keep paying attention to my digestive system. She poked around my abdomen without the intense pain I felt before. I went back to see Gregorita once more a few months later for a check-up. The foundation for curing these are to be found in the digestive area. I recently viewed videos detailing the growing problem of auto-immune diseases. I have continued to study, research, read and experiment to keep the abdomen and all the associated organs, in good working order.
I now had a new understanding of the power of a proper functioning digestive area. After all the remedies, diets, and other efforts, Gregorita managed to hit the right spots to cure me overnight. The next day, I awoke and discovered the hemorrhoid problem I had been living with for almost two years, was gone. I was shaking a little as I went to my car and drove home.
It was powerful, strange, painful, and underneath, a deep feeling something useful happen to my body. Gregorita continued for some more minutes and then declared she was done. I did my best to breath deep but felt I might faint from the intensity of the pain. It was one of the most painful experiences I have ever felt in my life. I felt complete trust of what she was doing, but the pain continued building as she poked deeper and in new places. Strong, sharp, intense, even frightening. “There is a knot in this part of your intestine, I will straighten this out.” She continued to discover and manipulate the different organs and parts of the intestines, the pain is very noticeable. As she worked her way around the different organs, she begins to describe what she was feeling and doing. I laid there breathing and she gently began to poke around my abdomen. She asked me to remove my shirt and lie down on the massage table. She was very welcoming and relaxed, which was helpful since I was a bit nervous. Her treatment room was the small side room one might use for a dining room next to the kitchen. I arrived for my appointment at her house just to the north of Santa Fe. They are trained to cure ailments in the abdominal area by seeking out each organ and clearing blockages with their hands. Just as I was wondering what to do, someone recommended I go see a healer named Gregorita Rodriguez. At the end of the six months, my liver problem had not gone away. I missed a few of the other tastes but managed without too much trouble. I ate these three items daily for six months. It consisted of barley, beets, and beet greens. I then discovered in one of the kundalini yoga books a special liver cleansing diet. I got the pills, took them for some months, but nothing changed.
He was very enthusiastic about some special liver pills to order from India. By chance, I could ask Yogi Bhajan what do to for my liver. So I began some exercises and added specific foods to my diet and eliminated other foods. I did some research and discovered this was connected to a weakness in the liver. In 1986 I developed an annoying health issue.
