At the Veterans International Provincial Rehab Clinic in Prey Veng – a handful of hours South of Phnom Penh (by bike) – I was able to get in front of a leper, and congenital amp, and a stroke victim. All of them complained of aggressive Phantom Limb Pain. It was a breakout session for me as these are all disabilities that are afflicted somewhat less with PLP. They all have mirrors now and have been at it for 2 weeks or so. They were busting to give it a try. Mirror Therapy is now being prescribed for maladies as diverse as arthritis and CRPS (Complex Regional Pain Syndrome). The message is in the mirror. By helping to re-ignite, re-map and re-locate tasks in the brain and by firing cleansing signals from one hemisphere to the other… the mirror is a key the size of a squash racquet… a key that will unlock and set free an awful lot of suffering. Visualize it!
