Signs

A week or so ago, I was talking to someone about Reiki. She's learning it and is completely fascinated by it. From what she says, it sounds like it would be right up my alley. In fact, it sounds an awful lot like what I used to be able to do intuitively, although I called it "psychic healing" for lack of a better name.

Anyway, in a lot of ways, it's very much like Somato Emotional Release, which is one part of the healing process I went through with the osteopath back in December. Very cool stuff dealing with body memory and energy.

So anyway, I listened to what this person was saying, and it appealed to me, but then, when I thought, "I should look into learning Reiki," I got shivers. You know, the goosebumps that tell you when something is right.

The more I thought about it, the more sense it makes. It's something that will only help me on my new path.

So anyway, this morning I was driving Babe to preschool and thinking about the future, and I saw three vanity plates. Now, New Hampshire has a lot of vanity plates. I'd say it's about one in every four or five cars. But on that drive I only saw two:

W8N4U
GO4IT

Later, as I was driving back to pick Babe up, and thinking on the plates, I wondered if the plates had anything to do with the Reiki conversation. Just after I thought that, I saw this plate:

VIBEGUY

Funny, eh?

So, after we get back from Colorado, I'm going to look into doing and learning Reiki. (This is something I had decided before today, btw.) And then this fall, I'm going to take biology. See if I like it enough to seriously consider going after that D.O.

I know exactly what you mean even though it's never been like that for me. But I do know.

Oh, I'm coming to Colorado for a couple of weeks in a couple of weeks! In fact, I was just organizing a post/email for a big ol' get together in a park in Boulder. I just have to decide whether it's going to be Scott Carpenter or Eben Fine (or whatever that park is called up at the end (start?) of Arapahoe). I can't remember if Eben has a playground or not, though. Do you know?

Scott Carpenter it is, then. Bathrooms and covered picnic tables and playground, oh my!

So... wanna come to Scott Carpenter on Saturday, July 19th? I haven't figured out the time yet, but I'm thinking late morning (11 or so). I'd love to meet you and your boys!

And did I say thanks? Noooo... I meant to say thanks! Honest, I did!

Thank you for looking it up for me!

Hi there!
I've stumbled over your post while browsing the friends-of-friends list.

A bit more than 10 years ago I leaned that my father in law had cancer. At the same time heard about Reiki for the first time.
I immediately felt that I head to learn it in order to help my father in law. It felt like the right thing to do back then.

I was introduced and then worked on FIL as often as possible and brought him as much comfort as possible through it, as long as he wanted me to it (I got pregnant at that time and suddenly he didn't want it anymore. He feared that it might harm the baby and nothing I said could change his POV)
After his death I couldn't do Reiki anymore - I had this barrier in my mind - until recently, when I realised that horses are seeking contact with my hands.
I'm just starting anew, with my daughter seeking comfort because she is growing so fast that she just hurts all over and animals pressing against my hands.

Basically I just wanted to say that Reiki is a wonderful thing and if you feel you should learn it, just do it.

Cool! Not that your FIL suffered cancer, of course, but that you were given the opportunity to comfort him when he needed it!

I wonder... I'm terribly allergic to animals, but they do come to me to be pet. Cats not so much anymore (deathly allergic to them so I'm pretty sure I've got a 'do not come near me, I won't pet you' vibe going out) but many of my friends' dogs will make a beeline for me and demand petting, even if there are other people in the room/house. I wonder if that's the same thing? Or just the perverse nature of animals?

I do want to learn it, and I will. Thanks for the encouragement!

You are welcome.

Would you mind if I friended you to follow your Reiki progress?

[averygoodun.livejournal.com]

You're welcome to friend me, though I'll warn you that there won't be any progress for at least a month. I'm not even going to call the instructor until after I get back from vacation. ;-)

Good for you. I'm a first level Reiki practitioner and have really benefitted from being on the receiving end. I have a couple of friends who are third degrees. I get a nice Reiki treatment and get my energies enhanced. In return, I do hypnosis with them. They are very compatable disciplines.

You'll enjoy it and feel better, too!

[averygoodun.livejournal.com]

Cool! It's funny that of all the various forms of healing I've been involved with, Reiki hasn't been one of them. But I'm very much looking forward to learning and experiencing it!

I love you icon, btw!
