Magical Ties 136 First Session

" You will not hurt anyone's feelings by your choice. Think about it and the one who you think will give you most comfort can be your choice . " Maureen sweeps Remi's hair from her face smiling at her encouraging her. Remi hugs her and motions for her to come with her. Maureen goes with Remi . They chose to do her sessions in the sun room since no one ever uses it. When they enter Maureen automatically lights the incense burner and mixes white sage and lavender oil. Winona looks at her and harshly asks. 

"what are you doing ?" Maureen's back goes ridged at her tone. Her eyes flash with anger. 

"Look you may be the Dr but this is our home . We always have relaxing incense burning when there is a possibility of negative emotions . You do not have to understand our ways but you will respect them. This will help Remi feel comfort and help her to be calm. She is my only concern ." They stare st each other Winona trying to get her way. Onacona sensing that something is off he gets the commander and Inola . They knock on the sun room door . Winona opens it and locks gazes with Steve . He doesn't know what is happening but he will not have the women of this house upset. 

"We just wanted to see if everything is ok?" Looking at the anger on Maureen's face he knows something is up.  

"I was just asking her what did she think she was doing. She lit that with out a word. When I have a session I do not like any distractions." Winona informs him. 

"oh well I'm sure that having the incense burning will not be a distraction. In fact it very therapeutic. If you notice there is a burner or two in every room of the house. We use it to help keep the calm around here. Have you not noticed that even when the house is overflowing that tempers do not run hot. Have you not noticed that your sleep is tranquil. It's because there is always a calming herb or oil burning. Winona do not challenge this or you will be fighting a losing battle. I don't care if you think it's needful or not. It's calming to those who live in this house. Therefore it will be done. If I have to I will make it an order do I make myself clear. " The iciness of his voice leaves no room for her to argue. The men leave and Winona looks at Maureen with resentment. Remi hugs Maureen and wants to leave the room . Winona looks at her and asks .

"where are you going?" Remi glares at her she grabs a paper and pen. She writes furiously and hands the paper to Winona. 

"I can not allow you to be this way towards my family. I will not be able to relax if the people around me are angry. Momo Maureen was trying to help you not upset you. I do not know why you are angry but before you do a session you need to figure it out. How can your patients relax if this much negativity is coming from you. You should have Momo Maureen teach you to meditate it will help. " Winona reads what she had to say and bowed her head in shame . Remi is right she was angry and was looking for a way to vent. 

"I'm sorry ,you are right I was angry and that anger has nothing to do with you. It is personal,  and I guess since I'm not in my normal setting . I let that anger get the best of me. " Maureen takes the two ladies hands and looks at them both. She decides that she is going to teach the Dr something while helping Remi. 

"Will you allow me to help you with a guided meditation? The three of us can do one before we do a session. " Remi smiles and nods Winona seeing her smile reluctantly agrees. Maureen lays pillows from the chairs and sofa placing them on the floor having the three of them lay down in a circle with their head side by side. She adds extra oil to the burner. They begin

"when you meditate you need to set your intentions. I think today we will set them to become calm and tranquil. Concentrate on your breathing take a deep breath,  and feel it flow through you as you slowly let it out.  Imagine there is a ball of light at your feet. Breathe through your nose and as that breath flows through you the anger and worry flows with it. It flows into that light and is burned up as you breathe out the air pull the light back up through your body calming every nerve every cell. Relaxing every muscle easing every worry. Today we are going to relax our mind and body to allow tranquility and peace to prevail. ." As the stillness of Maureen's words fill the room Winona feels much calmer and relaxed. The combination of the visualization of Maureen's words and the soft scent of the oil burning the room became a haven . After about twenty minutes Maureen sits up and asks them if they are ready now for Remi's session. Winona sits up looking at the two ladies. She is more relaxed than she has been in a long time. Remi nods yes that she is ready.  Since Remi is already comfortable she lays back on the pillow. Winona closes the curtains and she has a seat across from Remi. Pulling out a light pen she has Remi follow the light . At the sound of Winona voice Remi walks down a path as she goes deeper down the path she goes deeper to sleep. Winona tell her that she is going to sit and watch what happened ,she is in a safe place and nothing can hurt here here. Remi is smiling and happy they just won the football game. Their squad has been chosen to represent the county at states . Her friends are going and she is waiting for her Dad to pick her up. They had a celebration after the game so it's later than usual in the back ground is a lot of noise as people are leaving. A group of football players have come off the field they are drunk. She recognized them they are from the varsity team. The one she has had a crush on since middle school. He is smart and sis always studying . She tries to ignore them since they are wasted but Dean is not going to be ignored. Remi starts to get scared and Winona watches her fidget . Reminding her she is safe. Remi starts to gag at the pungent odor of Deans body and breath. He reeks of alcohol and vomit. He comes closer and she tells him that her father will be there anytime to please leave her alone. He grabs her hair pulling her face close to his . 

"I am going to teach you a lesson. One you will never forget. You think you are better than me just because your dad is the sheriff. Well let me tell you something. He is nothing except my dad's lackey. Your going to get in your knees and wors.h.i.+p me or die." He slaps her and she falls he grabs her hair and unzipped his pants. Remi is writhing on the floor crying in silence the tears have washed her face then this horrifying scream is let loose. It's vibrates the walls. It's primal and she is screaming and crying nothing Winona or Maureen can say is calming her. The door flies open and Yona charges in . He picks her up and cradles her in his arms . Looking at Winona he demands she brung her out now. Winona begins to bring Remi out when she counts down to zero Remi is awake and disoriented looking at Yona not understanding why he is on the floor holding her. He picks her up and carries her to her room. Yona is sitting on the bed touching Remi's hair face hands every part that he can to make sure she is ok. Remi grabs his hand and looks at him. Her eyes are filled with tears he pulls her into his arms. He tells her

"it's ok baby cry I'm here just cry let it out." Holding her for what seems like an eternity to him he holds her while she cries.

Winona looks on in concern. she has seen a lot of PTSD patients with a lot of trauma. This is the first time she has had one that will not talk though. The commander taps her on the shoulder and motions for her to follow him. 

Once they are in the living room he asks. 

"what happened? When she screamed it sound like a wounded animal." Winona looks at him and asks to talk to everyone at once. 

he rounds everyone , except Remi and Yona up , and they are sitting at the kitchen table . 

" Today is just the start she still hasn't said anything. She has a voice as you heard but she has locked it away. She was only hypnotized for a couple of minutes and then she was literally writhing in pain. It could be like this every time I put her under till she releases all of the fear she has. What you heard was her fear . Remember she isn't in physical pain so she can endure it. " they all look at her as if she has two heads. Winona wonders if they are really ready to know exactly what happened.
