Dear Lisa,
I am so sorry to hear of the accident suffered by your father-in-law. I see that you placed him in the healing circle yesterday. He was in my thoughts as I participated in the circle.
That helpless feeling is no fun, and it's wonderful to know that SFQ can give you tools to actually do something meaningful for someone in pain or difficulty.
I have two ideas or suggestions for you, since you asked. One is this: go through the healing procedure that we do in the healing circle. You can do that at any time. You can do it over and over, any day, any night, any time. You can put your father-in-law in the chair, and all the healers in the circle. I often invite my whole family in to help send love to someone who needs it, even though they aren't students of SFQ. Many times I put myself in the chair AND in the circle. Then, do the exercise, and really feel the warmth of the sun. See the people smile, see your father-in-law smile, as the healing work is done, as pain diminishes. See the blockages melt away. See him as completely healed.
It's a very powerful meditation.
Another one to use, is to imagine the patient at an earlier time in life, when health was at its best. Make it real. Pick a time of great joy, health, and happiness. See the smile on his face. Invite the man in the chair to go back to that time, and feel what that is like. See him do that. You can do it for yourself too!
I wish you and him the very best outcome.
