Magic Moments

It was 1992 at Buckeye Lake, Ohio where I was attending a Grateful Dead concert that I met Vernon. At Dead concerts there were very often areas sectioned off where people sold/bartered wares which was called Shakedown Street. I wasn't feeling all that great so I lay down on a patch of grass in the shade. People walked by me asking if I was alright to which I responded I was fine although I could feel another headache coming on and I actually felt like crap. Like really hungover without the benefit of having gotten drunk. Yet another person asked me if I was alright and I told him yes I was. He knelt down beside me and asked if I was sure. "Just feeling run down is all. No worries." He told me his name and that he was a naturopath/chiropractor from the Smokey Mountains and asked me specific questions about my health to which I played along. Within a few minutes he had me with one leg in the air with one hand on my shoulder and the other at the base of my neck. I then felt and heard a quick violent snap and.....relief. I was energized, headache free, awake. I felt marvellous. I offered him money which he would not take, but eventually he let me buy him a grilled cheese sandwhich and a beer. He told me of his life in the mountains where he bartered for his services. People would bring him chickens, veggies and goats etc... to pay for his healing hands and some would pay cash so he had a comfortable life. He was full of good energy and he passed that onto me. The rest of the day and evening I had one of the best times of my life which I shared with anyone and everyone around me. Amazing what a little healing and postive energy can do for a person and another and another and another....
