It is about a month since my last posting (which seems to be a long time for me), and there are a few things worth mentioning. Not an awful lot has been going on, but I thought I should share a couple of things.

After getting back from vacation, I was contacted by two different people interested in Reiki healing. (I started thinking that this was telling me that I need to do more healing.) The first decided to have a massage also. It was an interesting visit. The bodywork went well (it’s nice being able to take my time instead of rushing one through in 30 minutes). The Reiki session that followed was very good also. It was a powerful healing session. I was told that her regular masseuse is better than I am, but that she is extremely good. This wasn’t too disappointing, as I know I could be a lot better. She liked the Reiki. It calmed her a lot.

She admitted that it was a huge step trust wise for her to allow me into the house. She had spent most of the day thinking she was going to cancel it (she was filling in for someone at work). Realistically, she had just met me, and to allow this stranger over to her house to do massage was a monumental step. I always feel that we all have an inner sense about people that we meet that tells us whether or not we can trust them in certain situations. All too often, we let logic override that feeling, and either invite these people someplace where they can hurt us, or don’t invite them where they could help. She eventually felt she could trust me, and she was not proven wrong. The question is whether I will hear from her again

I was scheduled to do another healing on someone that had found me over the internet. Although I was having a bad week at work, I was working hard to get clear of it so I could do the healing. Usually, I can clear any problem to help someone when they are in need. The day came for him to come for his healing, and he didn’t show up. He never called me, and I never called him. Maybe the universe was trying to tell me something.

I taught Reiki 2 the other week to Jon, a student who took Reiki 1 from me about a year ago. He had come to the psychic fair with his wife a few weeks before. When he was getting his reading from Kay, I had talked with his wife, and in the conversation, had scanned her, and told her what her problems were. Jon told me before class that I had really freaked her out by sight scanning her. He said that when they left, she asked him how I did that. He just told her that I was good.

The class went very well. Helping me by being ‘the body’ was Helen, a Reiki master who had been given different training (I don’t know that I can call it a different style). The basic energy I teach was new to her, as were some of the things I do. (Realistically some of the things I do are new to everybody.) but having her there was great as there were a few things that I keep forgetting about distant Reiki, and in such, they never made it into my manual, which means that they don’t get taught. The most important is that Reiki can be sent into the past or future. This is a big deal, as one can send healing back in time to a period when they, or someone else needed it. One can also send it into the future to help when you know someone will need it. A good example would be sending it to yourself at a future date and time if you knew you would be taking a test or something important. Time is no boundary to healing.

Right now, I am expecting a student who is coming from Atlanta. She will be in town from August 1st to August 13th. While she is here, she wants to take Reiki 1, and felt I was the one to teach her. Here we are, getting students from different parts of the country again.

I was telling this to Dee over instant messenger one evening (she is a Reiki master in Gainesville). She told me that she felt I would be doing a lot of traveling. She felt I would be going to other locations and teaching Reiki. Cool. I could get into that.

In other news, I have finally done it. Many years ago, my friend, Carolyn, taught me massage. Since then, I have been practicing, and getting better. I managed to start letting myself ‘feel’ the person I was working on, becoming very intuitive. Eventually, I became good at massage. Now, I am going to start massage school.

I have been putting this off for almost five years now, hoping to change jobs to one that worked with the hours that the schools run. In Maryland, the schools are run like a college (you need so many credits in this, and so many credits in that). Here, they are a seven-month course. The problem has always been that the classes start too early to get to them once I get off work. My job is now willing to let me come in earlier so I can get off earlier. Going to school will mean working from 8:00 to 5:00 every day, and taking class from 6:00 to 10:00 four days a week. And to think I have been stressed so far.

I guess it reached a point where I decided that I wanted to get the proper training so I can get a license. The hardest part will be learning the bones and muscles in the body. If anyone reading this wishes to, please send some good thoughts to my learning the material, and getting my license.

Well, that is all that has been happening. Things are definitely getting interesting. Take care. Love and light.
