Healing in the clear halfway condition

There is no illustration for this entry, which is concerned with the possibility of the alleviation of physical ailments while in the deeply relaxed condition (mind passive but alert/ body asleep or close to sleep). The issue is of some interest since over the last few years, April has demonstrated an ability to induce some degree of recovery from a variety of minor conditions while in alert sleep. The first time this became apparent was when she had a severe stomachache, possibly after having eaten some street food one morning that had been left exposed to the open air. That afternoon, suddenly feeling ill, she went to bed but was unable to drop off fully such was the level of discomfort. Eventually, in the early hours, her body gave up sufficiently for her to get some respite. It was in this halfway condition that her grandmother visited her, and assisted in her recovery by first firmly placing her left hand on April's stomach. Using her fingertips, she then started to trace a circle about eight inches in diameter, with each sweep taking a couple of seconds to complete. The initial physical contact felt like cool electric current, but over the next forty-five seconds or so generated a mild warmth. Soon, April fell asleep more deeply and woke the next morning feeling absolutely fine. 

On the second occasion, some months later, she had a spell of persistent dizziness similarly resolved, only this time following another nocturnal visit and a clockwise horizontal circular movement of energy at the level of forehead and scalp. Recently, a split callous on the sole of her foot that had prevented her from walking was similarly relieved following another nighttime healing session. For what it is worth, the alert half-state therefore seems to allow for different possibilities: a progression to lucid dreaming or OBE is one; physical recuperation facilitated through the movement of some internal bio-energy would seem to be another.
