That hasn't been a problem.  As I think I said, I'm running into a mental
dilemma, training vs. intuition.
As a practitioner, I'm a clear and open channel for the Source.  
In many conversations, I think I've come to a comfortable balance between
allowing my compassion to be present, and not being attached to the 
results".
If that's detachment, great.  If not, well, it seems to be working.
It feels like there's a lot on the line, here.  The patient is 19 years old,
HIV+, cranial (non-HIV) lymphoma, and 5 months pregnant...so the possibility
of conventional chemotherapy or radiation for the lymphoma is not an option.
We're doing a combination of Reiki, done in the conventional mode of daily
sessions, with a some TT, Chakra cleansing/balancing and crystal work, 
combined with visualization and talk.
