Beatrice Bat & Stormin Norman

Beatricebat was doing her batsercise this morning, which consists of tying rubber bands to her feet, then flying out as far as she can, it is brilliant for wing strength and for stretching out those hamstrings; not to mention the powerful effect it has on her pelvic floor. The problem is that she has to be careful it doesn't end up in a bungy jump if her wings get tired, then she has to hang around boinging up and down until one of the other bats take pity on her and helps her up.
Anyway this morning her back was a bit sore and she was wondering what she could do about it. She had tried everything orthodox and non-orthodox and some things which others would consider wacky, which incidently had been more helpful and her back was much less painful now than it had ever been. This was because her particular body/mind system happened to somatise emotional pain into her body, in other words she felt emotional pain in a physical way. It was her body's way of telling her she had a problem and she was paying attention now.
It could be that she was fairly annoyed by the latest news bulletin today about the call by some of the NHS Doctors to stop allowing treatments like homeopathy on the NHS to save money. The situation may have triggered something in her unconscious and her body was responding. She herself had saved the NHS thousands of pounds in treatment costs precisely 'cause they hadn't been able to help her and homeopathy had been one of the treatments that had worked very well for her.
Why do they keep referring healthcare back to one particular model, while completely discounting hundreds and in the case of acupuncture, thousands of years of proven cures she thought? When will they ever stop and listen and realise we can use both?
She took her rubber bands off and realised her back was hurting because she was angry and she needed to do some batyoga, maybe some bat acupressure, to quiet her mind, ease the pain and bring herself back to batcentre, then see if 'Norman' was up for it (he had been having a 'hang-in' on his bat roost and not stirred from sleep yet). With a glint in her eye Beatrice flew off to the waterfall for her early morning shower.....
