Health and dis-ease

I have started a journey in Reiki.

It began with curiosity.  I saw the word listed among services at massage studios and in alternative medicine journals.  I didn’t even know for sure how to pronounce the term (it is RAY-key.)

Well, in the world of alternate energy and thought, the concept of “coincidence” is not accepted.  Every opportunity is regarded as being purposefully offered or attracted to oneself.

Happily, I had an opportunity to “try” reiki after years of wondering about it.  I was at a party at which a practitioner was a guest.  She was offering her talent to anyone interested and was holding her hands above another guest.  When she was “done” and asked if anyone else was interested, I jumped at the chance. 

She stood behind me and held her hands about three inches above my shoulders.  Everyone continued with party chatter and conversation.  I just settled into my chair and waited.  After a few minutes, I had the most extraordinary sensation: I felt as though my shoulders were laughing.  There is no other way to describe it!  It felt that inside each shoulder was a mouth and that it was laughing hilariously!

I was sold.
