I figure that if someone sees something that
they might not otherwise have seen, they will know that it is possible where
they might not have thought about it before. Seeing it is possible, they
might eventually believe that they can do the same thing. As I work with energy, now and then, it occurs to me to try something else,
do something differently. Had I not seen people do some things when I was
starting out (like Reiki), I would not have known they were possible. It
may have taken me a while to get to the point that I could do what I saw.
But I knew that it was possible. If I talk about astral projection, or
psychic surgery, or just moving energy, it is something I have learned, and tell
about so that others may believe that these things exist, and maybe some day,
will try it. Or in believing that something is possible may lead them to
trying something else that will open them up. My hope is that I have
removed 'ego' from this as it is not about me, but about presenting
opportunities for others to learn from what I have done, whether they be the
right thing, or mistakes.

It was the beginning of the new
year. Unlike most New Year's days, I ended up doing some thing
really meaningful, I did Reiki on Rilind.
December 29, 2011
I saw this posted on a
website somewhere, and being into mediumship, I thought I would
repost it as it is interesting. It is the top 10 things dead
people want to tell living people.
December 28, 2011
Someone posted a quote that I
thought was interesting... A person cannot see himself in a
running stream. He can only see himself in calm waters.
December 26, 2011
I participated in my first dog
rescue today. What I saw horrified me.
December 23, 2011
Energies and holidays. Putting out
the right energies.
December 22, 2011
A while ago, I got notice that my
high school was having a class reunion, or should I say another
class reunion. To date, I haven't been to any, and I really
don't plan on going. But it does make me think, what do people
expect when you go to a class reunion? And then the next
thought, why should one feel they should live up to those
expectations?
December 20, 2011
My latest client today came out of
the treatment room in tears, and it was not because I was
beating on her. She had just had a truly amazing emotional
release through the massage session. After I left her in the
room, and she realized what had just happened, she just burst
into tears.
December 16, 2011
Recently, massage therapists have
been quite upset at Apple computers. It seems their new personal
assistant for the iPhone4s has been directing people to them for
sex.
December 14, 2011
I did my first Lomi Lomi massage
today in three months. Now I need a massage.
December 10, 2011
A client told me something today
that made me laugh.
November 9, 2011
I heard something kind of
interesting today. Your dreams are your brain taking a dump at
the end of the day.
October 27, 2011
I attended a mediumship class this
evening. As part of a class exercise, we did speaking and
writing off the tops of our heads. This is called Inspired
speaking and Writing and the information comes from outside.
October 22, 2011
Fear. Why does it always come down
to fear? We control things through fear. We are always afraid of
something bad happening to the point that we want to do the
right thing simply to avoid the bad thing. And that is being
controlled by fear.
October 8, 2011
We had a very good Reiki 1 class
today, and interesting as well.
October 4, 2011
I do a regular trade with an
acupuncturist. On me, she will do needles, or Reiki, or
massage. On her, I will do massage or Reiki, or any number of
energy modalities. Today, she asked for a reading. Uhhhh…
September 29,
2011
What is strength? Are we strong, or
do we just think we are? Is it being physically strong, or is
it the belief that makes us so?
September 22,
2011
Well, this has been a week for old
clients, and I don’t mean those that are geriatric.
September 20,
2011
I had disturbing news from one of
my clients today. She has decided to go ahead with the double
mastectomy to get rid of breast cancer.
September 19,
2011
I happened to run into a posting
online that gave the “Empath’s Commandments”. I found many of
them to be too true, and many of them to be things I ignore too
often.
September 14,
2011
I had a visit from the lady that
Marilyn and I counseled not too long ago… the one that had been
suicidal.
September 12,
2011
Yesterday marked the 10th
anniversary of the attack on the World Trade Center in New
York. As part of what went on were endless news specials of
things that happened that day, and one that impressed me was
about the boat evacuation of people from Manhattan. And one of
the things someone said impressed me.
September 11,
2011
Today marks 10 years since that WTF
moment that changed the lives of everyone in this country.
Consequently, it was 10 years ago today that I was supposed to
have the first night of massage school. At least they had the
sense enough to cancel classes that evening.
September 7, 2011
I had a visit today from the
crystal fairy. Ok, well maybe not, but close enough.
September 4, 2011
This year, being a
massage therapist licensing period, Caring Palms has been
teaching a lot of classes. In fact, when massage licensing
happened two years ago, Caring Palms taught 92 students that
entire year. This year, Caring Palms has taught 95 students, and
the year is not over yet. More classes are scheduled and many
are already confirmed.
September 3, 2011
Well,
the rush is finally over. The licensing renewal period for
massage therapists has come and gone. Caring Palms did its part
by scheduling classes as often as possible including a Reiki 1
and a Reiki 2 on the last two days of the period.
September 2, 2011
How do you say goodbye to a dear
friend? To one you have known and loved for the last 10 years?
One that was always by your side with a big smile and a wagging
tail?
September 1, 2011
Yesterday, the licensing period for
massage therapists ended. And I just came off a two day
marathon class session. We had Reiki 1 on Tuesday, and Reiki 2
yesterday (Wednesday). It was fun.
August 11, 2011
I find it strange that I decide to
do something new after all this time. It is something I really
should have been doing since the beginning, but didn't. After
200 some odd students, I have started taking a class photo at
the end of each class.
August 10, 2011
Now, I know I have had classes that
formed really strangely, but today's has to be in the top two.
This class literally pulled together in the eleventh hour.
August 4, 2011
Now, I really don’t dislike sales
people, but there are those that drive me crazy, especially
those that can't take 'no' for and answer. It is starting to
look like salesmanship is a lost art. We have people that don't
know how to talk, those that are rude, and my favorite... the
ones that feel their opening line has to be a lie.
July 28, 2011
I had a visit today by the lady I
saw a month ago that had been suicidal.
July 20, 2011
Why is it that all too many sales
spiels start off with a lie? I mean, I find a lie to be the
worst way to introduce ones self.
July 10, 2011
It was Friday on Sunday. Or more
precisely, I saw Friday on Sunday.
July 3, 2011
I did a long massage on someone
today to get one important release.
June 30, 2011
I worked on a friend today that I
have not seen in eight years. She kept telling her new husband,
that I give the best massages that she has ever had. I was
hoping I could live up to the memory.
June 28, 2011
I worked on a lady today with the
help of my mediumship teacher, and oh what a wild ride that was.
June 26, 2011
Well, I heard from my client with
Fibromyalgia today, at least I heard from her mother.
June 22, 2011
I worked on someone today where I
was completely clueless, and was just hoping for something to
show a small bit of progress.
June 21, 2011
I wanted to share some Hawaiian
words that were talked about in my last Lomi class. I think
they are pretty profound.
June 20, 2011
I was talking to a student today,
and we got to talking about telling the universe what we want.
But more importantly is what you realistically can ask for, and
receive.
June 18, 2011
We are a society that is set on
failure. Because everything we make is designed to fail. And
that stems from… what else… greed.
June 15, 2011
Shall we dance? Any healing
session is a dance where two people come together to become one
for a while, then part. They become partners in a process, the
process of healing. They work for the best results, making the
most of their time together, client and therapist as one. When
that happens, it is a beautiful thing.
June 14, 2011
There are times when I am not
forceful enough, when I don’t stand up for myself enough.
Thinking back, this past weekend was one of those times.
June 13, 2011
Just came from my third workshop on
Hawaiian Temple Lomi Lomi taught by Tom Cochran, and although it
was very upbeat ad ended well, there were some real issues and
real problems, and it all came down to a couple students.
June 9, 2011
I got mail from one of my Body
Mechanics students today, and it was really nice to hear the
feedback.
June 8, 2011
There is something that we want to
do. It could be a task that needs doing, or an improvement that
we want to make, maybe even in ourselves. The questions is...
do we get motivated, or do we get inspired?
May 16, 2011
I just came off my first Body
Mechanics course for this year. It was a truly wonderful
experience, but I think I might have problems seeing. I think I
have flash blindness from all the light bulbs going off in
people’s heads during the class.
May 10, 2011
Two days ago, I worked on a real
dog. Yep. Four legs, furry, wagging tail.
May 6, 2011
A friend pointed me to an article
written by a Reiki master that quoted this line. I remember the
line from an old science fiction TV show where one person was
trying to ready another for a fight. But the line originally,
"Be Like Water" came from actor and famed martial artist Bruce
Lee.
May 4, 2011
More pressure. More pressure. No,
less pressure. Back off, dammit!
April 27, 2011
We had a moment in our mediumship
class today that was funny.
April 19, 2011
If I had a
nickel for every time someone said "I didn't know I hurt
there..."
April 18, 2011
Today, we
want miracle cures and solutions. Why with medical science as
advanced as it is, there should be nothing that can't be cured.
That's right isn't it? We want to lose weight by taking a pill,
or be healthier by drinking some blue or green concoction. But
what part are we leaving out? Us.
April 14, 2011
I do trades with an acupuncturist
now and then. She has moved to a new office and brought me over
to help clean it. No, we’re not talking about getting out a
bucket and some cleaning products.
April 2, 2011
This last week, I had three people
coming in for deep tissue and getting MFR instead.
March 24, 2011
I just did the most awesome
mediumship reading I have ever done. And after yesterday’s
‘attempt’, I feel really good now.
March 20, 2011
Can we interject some amount of
common sense now? Does every stupid thing people do need to be
regulated by the government?
March 15, 2011
My client today told me I was a
pain in her ass.
March 14, 2011
I had a new client in today that
came for a Reiki session. He had been through a lot of abuse in
his life, and that was taking its toll mentally and
energetically.
February 7, 2011
Heart and mind. Heart and mind.
What are they? What is the connection? Which one should rule?
February 4, 2011
Why do people play games? Why is
it so hard to be honest?
February 2, 2011
A client passed on something out of
the Emmanuel Book, a book channeled from spirit. It had a great
metaphor about taking care of yourself.
January 24, 2011
I have been doing a lot of fascia
work lately, and it is helping people, but I feel like I am
really beating the crap out of them.
January 21, 2011
In working with my client
yesterday, I said something that actually came across as
profound. And it makes sense. There is realizing,
understanding, and doing.
January 20, 2011
A client was in today for some
energy work. We were planning on doing unwinding, meditation,
and whatever else came to mind.
January 18, 2011
I got a Facebook message from one
of my clients. She is the one whose insurance company has been
paying for her treatment which stemmed from an auto accident a
couple years ago.
January 17, 2011
Out of a magazine I was shown a
brief on Notes From The Universe by Mike Dooley. I found this
one most true ant intriguing.
January 16, 2011
Among all the unique things that
happened yesterday, there was one that happened outside the
scope of class where energy and focus were the keys.
January 15, 2011
I just came from a mediumship seminar with
Eamonn Downey. He is a British medium who teaches at the Arthur Findly
School in England. I took his seminar last year and was blown away by it.
January 14, 2011
I had the best quote from one of my clients
on along time today.
January 10, 2011
Fascial work is starting to make sense to
me. Or is that more sense? Does that mean that I might actually have some
sense?
January 1, 2011
As
I sit here on New Year’s Day, I wonder about the promise of the
year to come. And right now, the year is full of promise, and
more importantly… hope.
December 31, 2010
I was in St. Augustine today just
relaxing. My wife and I parked the car in the parking garage,
and we walked to the old town area near the fort. As we
approached what had been the original city gates, we passed a
cemetery.
December 29, 2010
One of my students came in today
for an energy session. He was surprised at what he got.
December 23, 2010
There are times when I feel I might
be looking at losing my mind as I get older. I mean, I seem to
be getting confused a lot lately. With not having a lot of
technical stuff going on, I am not concentrating on things and
following progressions. Most of what I do is just follow
guidance. That’s why this one comes across very strange.
December 22, 2010
My acupuncturist came over today to
work on a regular client with me. She wasn’t doing acupuncture,
but was learning some of the fascial work I do.
December 1, 2010
Empath. Being an empath. What is
it? What should it be? Here’s something that will surprise
you. Empathy is just a diagnostic tool.
November 9, 2010
I
have been seeing a client that was in an auto accident over a
year ago. How she came to me was interesting.
November 2, 2010
I was told a good one today by a
Methodist minister from Tennessee. It has to do with a
pendulum.
October 29, 2010
I did my fist hot stone massage in
22 months. I have come to the realization that I don’t know how
to use my hands anymore.
October 28, 2010
MacGyver lives. Ok, this one’s
just for a laugh.
October 27, 2010
You can do it. Just do it. Trust
yourself. You’re stronger than you realize. I trust you. I
know you can do what I need. How many times have I heard these
comments? Way too many.
October 22, 2010
OK,
what is it with Halloween and people’s beliefs? Now, I
know I’ve done some postings on Pagan holidays and how they have
all been taken over and re-themed by Christians. But now it
seems that even that is not good enough for some groups.
October 21, 2010
I did a Reiki demonstration for a
reporter for some newsletter that is produced in Flaggler county
(just south of here between St. Augustine and Daytona). It
turned out to be very interesting.
September 30,
2010
After
a suggestion from my mediumship teacher, I visited the park
behind my office building. She told me I needed to get away
form my desk and get somewhere that I was open to creative
thought. I call this Clearing the Mind.
September 29,
2010
As Halloween is approaching, we
look forward to dressing up in the spirit of the holiday. But,
why are you wearing your mask now?
September 28,
2010
I started thinking back about the
things I was told as a child and thought it would be good for a
laugh to post some.
September 20,
2010
Ok, there is definitely a trend
happening. I keep getting challenged more and more with
energies.
September 12,
2010
After yesterday’s class, I did a
massage on the wife of one of my clients. It was what happened
afterwards that surprised me.
August 31, 2010
I received a reading today from my
mediumship teacher, along with a good swift kick in the ass.
August 24, 2010
Not too long ago, I did a unique
chakra balancing and Reiki session on a client. Today, I had
another similar session. I am starting to wonder if this is the
plan for a while.
August 9, 2010
For a while now, I have been wanting to talk
about the Christ Energies and Christ Consciousness. I know that a lot is
misunderstood about these items. Not having the information to talk
properly, I asked my mediumship teacher, Marilyn, to write up something for
me that explains it.
July 28, 2010
What is it about certain beliefs that make
people react from their core? They say one should never talk about religion
or politics. Well, I’m going to.
July 27, 2010
Well, I have now seen it, a moment that
makes me proud to be a geek.
July 19, 2010
I sent an e-mail to the client I had seen on
Friday as I was wondering how she was doing. The reply I got was great.
July 16, 2010
I had the Reiki session from Hell today.
And it was spectacular.
July 8, 2010
I saw the Methodist minister from Tennessee
today for the first time in two years. He comes in to town now and then to
visit his daughter.
June 24, 2010
I worked on the wife of the therapist down
the street today. She needed work, and he didn’t have time to work on her,
so he sent her to me.
June 18, 2010
I saw an advertisement for a car the other
day that made me wonder. It said that if you want directions to the
stadium, “push here”. If you want to listen to music, “push here”. And if
you want to do this, “push here”. Of course, I had to add… if you just want
to drive the fracking car safely, don’t push anything.
June 16, 2010
I’ve talked before about doing work on the
therapist down the street, the one with 30 years experience. Today, I
worked on his wife who is also a therapist.
June 15, 2010
What is the line… The meek shall inherit the
earth. The first question is… why? The second is… who would want the place
after the battle?
June 14, 2010
Wow. I am such a nice guy. No, really. I
am. Of course, nice guy is spelled s-h-m-u-c-k.
June 5, 2010
I was working in the yard today, thinking
how we desperately need rain. There were clouds in the distance, but like
many days, they were not headed this way, at least until I pulled them.
June 1, 2010
Well, I have come to the conclusion that I
don’t know how to talk to people and that being helpful is not what people
want.
May 17, 2010
Well, we’ve talked about the fight
between scientists, the fight between scientists and religion,
and today we have to talk about science and religion, but more
importantly about religion and faith. And while you may think
they are interchangeable, they are not.
May 16, 2010
Yesterday, I talked about
scientists being persecuted because of their suggestions to
alternate theories of evolution. Today I want to look at the
theories involved, and trust me, I’m not picking sides just
explaining and offering questions.
May 15, 2010
I saw a documentary today dealing
with the persecution of scientists. Although it sounds like a
page out of the original miniseries “V” where aliens sought out
scientists because they were afraid these scientists had the
know how to create weapons against them, this persecution is
being done by our own scientific community. And it comes from a
fear that these scientists are saying things that are contrary
to current ‘scientific fact’. What these persecuted scientists
are talking about is the possibility of Intelligent Design.
May 4, 2010
What happens when doctors can’t fix
you? What happens when they don’t know the cause of what you
have? What happens when there is no cure for the pain you are
in? Well, you go to the pain clinic.
May 3, 2010
What is it with today’s society?
Why is something always someone else’s fault?
April 26, 2010
Whether we believe in them or not,
energies are all around us. Some of the energy practices sound
silly like talking to plants, while others sound very important
like The Secret or The Power of Positive Thinking. In truth, we
can make things happen in our daily lives by changing the way we
think and in some ways giving ourselves an attitude adjustment.
April 2, 2010
This last week, I had three people
coming in for deep tissue and getting MFR instead.
March 31, 2010
Mediumship class today was like a
page out of the World Wrestling Federation. Heather and I did
tag team mediumship.
March 22, 2010
I had someone in the studio today
that made an interesting comment while looking at the
Times-Union article from last year. (see journal post of April
1, 2009)
March 17, 2010
Well, today I finally got to pay
back one of the MFR sessions I had. I don’t know why I was
nervous, but I was. Yet, the comments were surprising.
March 5, 2010
Well, my problems finally got
worked on today. This was something that was way overdue.
January 25, 2010
One of my former students came in
today for a Temple Lomi massage. She needed some stress relief
and knew this massage would help.
January 24, 2010
I just came off an extraordinary
mediumship seminar taught by Eamonn Downey, one of the
instructors from the Arthur Findley school in England. It was a
lot about what he taught, yet more importantly it was about how
he taught it.
January 22, 2010
My client that saw the Bumper Car
energies came to mediumship class today. Now she is seeing two
beams of energy coming out of each person.
January 20, 2010
I had
a client today that I had not seen in over a year.
January 2, 2010
One of my clients came in today for
a Reiki session and told me she was seeing Bumper Car energies
from people.
December 3, 2009
Someone told me something that
makes sense yesterday… If we want change, we have to make it.
December 1, 2009
I’ve been doing more really deep,
deep tissue massage lately, at least in the last several
sessions. It seems there are a lot of people willing to pay to
have the crap beat out of them.
November 30,
2009
OK, this one takes the cake. Had a
client walk in asking for a massage, but it was how he asked
that made me want to write this.
November 24,
2009
December 21st, 2012 to
be specific. Will the world end? Will it begin again? Does
anyone care?
November 21,
2009
I'm sure you've heard the saying
"All roads lead to Rome". I am starting to think if not all
roads, many roads to Reiki seem to lead to me.
November 20,
2009
What is it with computerized social
networking? Why do we need to let everyone know what we are
doing every minute? Why would anyone care? Yes, I’m ranting
again.
November 19, 2009
I did another unwinding today that
went in another direction.
November 18, 2009
We had an amazing mediumship class
today. Although we all got messages from spirit, we could not
define who that spirit(s) was, and the message we got was for
all of us.
November 17, 2009
With
all the different things I have been doing lately, I have
noticed that I am letting spirit in more.
November 16, 2009
I have done a few unwindings
lately, including the one today. All in all, they have been
interesting, but as people do more, it is easier and they go
further.
November 14, 2009
Now I have heard a lot of stories
about how people came to find me… “I saw your website, and I
just knew you were the right one.” “I saw your name and
something said yes.” “I was driving by and saw the sign and
just knew this was the place.” “Something happened and I knew
it was a sign.” But the one today has to be the best yet.
November 13, 2009
One of my friends and clients
posted a comment on Facebook. She said, “If your road to
success has been a difficult one, you aren't living your truth.”
The comments after it were very interesting.
November 4, 2009
I was working on someone that I do
trades with today, and they made an interesting statement. They
told me that I should become (or was it call myself) a life
coach.
September 30,
2009
I have
been dreaming again. This one was kind of strange (like they
all aren’t?). Maybe I should not have watched that commercial
for the movie 2012.
September 19,
2009
This incident yesterday reminded me
of a client that had come in a month or so ago.
September 18,
2009
I had a new client in today for MFR
to see if they could help her migraines. It was a short
session, and I will never see her again.
September 4, 2009
With the classes over, and all the
things that went into getting them done, I have been looking
over some of the comments, and some are quite interesting.
September 3, 2009
Last
month was a crazy month, and I am actually looking forward to a
3-day weekend off. I am very tired from teaching the many
classes I have, and I do need a break.
September 2, 2009
I was watching a commercial for
Ghost Whisperer which is going to be playing on the SyFy channel
shortly, and one of the things they said in the commercial
bothered me because it was so untrue.
September 1, 2009
I had
a massage client in today that was real specific in what she
wanted.
August 24, 2009
I got to go visit the dog today, at
least astrally.
August 23, 2009
We found out today that we are not
getting the dog.
August 20, 2009
I must
be an animal. Or at least an animal person. I don’t think that
means I am animalistic. But I do wag my tail now and then.
August 17, 2009
Something strange happened in my
class the last couple of days. Someone kept pulling on my
towel. Someone not there.
August 16, 2009
I just finished my second body
mechanics class today. It went all right. There were things
that could have been better, and this is why I’ll be looking at
it over the next few months.
August 12, 2009
We had a mediumship class today,
and I found out something about myself.
August 9, 2009
What is it about people and
lifestyles? Why is it that anything different is wrong? Aren’t
we all different? Why should we all be the same?
August 8, 2009
I had a stupendous Reiki 2 class
today. We had 16 student and three helpers. Considering this
involved group work including a healing chain, that much energy
was wild.
August 1, 2009
I had an exceptionally large Reiki
1 class today. But even through the size and other hardships,
it went very well.
July 19, 2009
I had my heart broken today. I had
to do something I did not want to do. I had to give a found dog
back to its owner. It would not be so bad, but I know the dog
would have been better with us.
July 15, 2009
We had a mediumship class today and
we had to talk for three minutes on a word given to us at
random. I remember doing this some time back and having to talk
for 10 minutes. This was much easier.
June 27, 2009
I was teaching my first body
mechanics class this weekend, and I had a point where I was
speaking some profound words. The thing is that they did not
come from me.
June 19, 2009
And the comments just keep on
coming. I think this one wins first prize.
June 18, 2009
I had an interesting session
today. It involved unwinding and meditation.
June 10, 2009
Now, I have heard a few stories.
I’ve even told a few. But this one is really strange.
June 9, 2009
I gave a talk to a massage class at
FCCJ this morning.
June 2, 2009
The eyes have it.
June 1, 2009
I am really glad May is over.
There was just much too much going on during that month.
May 23, 2009
I taught Reiki 3 today, and it was
a great group of people, with the exception of the one spirit
that wanted to fool around and disrupt things.
May 22, 2009
I had a client in today that I had
not seen in four years.
April 23, 2009
Some of the comments of clients have really surprised me lately.
April 21, 2009
I did my first Temple Lomi session
today since getting back from the classes. The great thing
about it was it was for a paying customer. The real great thing
about it was that what she said afterwards was astounding.
April 20, 2009
I attended Temple Lomi Lomi classes
this past weekend, and it was an amazing time that totally
surprised me.
April 6, 2009
I have classes coming up and a
little over a week in Temple Lomi Lomi, which is something that
I do not do full sessions of regularly. I incorporate many of
the moves in my regular massages, but most people do not know
what it is to ask for it for full sessions. I did a
demonstration session in a trade last week and found that I
really need to practice before the class. The comments from
today’s ‘victim’ were wonderful.
April 4, 2009
Yesterday, I gave my
response to the announcement on the press release from the
Catholic Church. Today, I have put one from William Lee
Rand from his website, Reiki.org.
April 3, 2009
Well, we have had the announcement
by the Catholic Church. Today, read my response.
(Actually, any time the Catholic Church want to advertise for
me, I'm all for it.)
April 2, 2009
Well the newspaper article has
already generated a call. But I’m afraid this is what I can
expect to be getting.
April 1, 2009
Well, here it is… April Fools Day.
What better day for the article in the Times-Union to come out.
March 30, 2009
The article in H magazine came out
today, and I managed to find a copy.
March 26, 2009
Well, I guess I should have
expected it… the Catholic Church has gotten involved with Reiki,
but not the way one would hope for. They have basically banned
it saying it is non-scientific and superstition.
March 11, 2009
I worked on a client today that
really frustrates me. She keeps doing things that make it
harder for me to help her.
February 27,
2009
The comment of a client the other
day really amused me.
February 26,
2009
I did
a three minute massage today… in South Carolina… from Florida.
February 25,
2009
I officially freaked out a
potential client today.
February 20,
2009
I had a phone call today from the
editor of H Magazine, a publication of the Florida Times-Union.
The conversation was interesting.
February 19,
2009
I had a walk-in client yesterday
who surprised me when I asked how she heard of me.
February 18,
2009
Gut feeling. What is it? Do we
listen to it? What happens when we don’t? I had a gut feeling
I should talk about this today, and some things that have
happened when I didn’t listen to mine.
February 17,
2009
Ok, I’m on a roll. What is it with
people’s attitudes? I know that the most common elements in the
universe are hydrogen and stupidity, but the latter seems to be
prevalent.
February 16,
2009
What is it with the work ethic
today? Why do people feel that a half-assed job is good
enough? Yes, it’s rant time again.
February 14,
2009
I had a very interesting, yet
disappointing Reiki session before I taught a Reiki 2 class
today.
February 9, 2009
I did an awesome Reiki session on a
client today, and he called back later to tell me so.
February 6, 2009
The universe is talking to me
again. The problem is that I haven’t been listening. So, it
has forced my hand… again.
January 27, 2009
Some time ago, I talked about The
Secret, and what it professes to do. Well, I’ve had some more
information given to me that makes sense and explains why this
can work.
January 26, 2009
Something I talked about in the
class the other day made me feel a need to write this post. It
is the problem of the practitioner being married to the outcome
of their sessions.
January 25, 2009
How my students found me yesterday
was interesting. I should be used to hearing stories like this,
but they still fascinate me.
January 24, 2009
We had a real good Reiki 1 class
today with a few challenges.
January 12, 2008
We live in a fear based society. I
realized that, but not as much as I did when I heard something
that really pressed it home.
December 9, 2008
Well, it finally happened last
night. I go laid off from my job in Hell.
November 20,
2008
For this mediumship class, I did a
reading on my teacher. This was hard as she had given me some
news that I didn’t want to hear, so it was hard to shift gears
and let go.
October 17, 2008
I had a mediumship class today
where I did a reading on someone for 50 minutes.
October 10, 2008
I have to get this down before I
forget it. I just came from the most spectacular healing
session I have had in a long time. There were three of us there
from the physical plane, and many others from another.
October 9, 2008
A journey is an incredible thing,
but I’m not talking about packing your bags and going abroad.
We have physical journeys, spiritual journeys, healing
journeys. Anything we do, any goal we set starts us on a
journey. The problem is that we sit around without goals, so we
have no where to go.
October 8, 2008
I was talking to a friend online
tonight that I had not talked with in a while. He was lost and
needed direction.
October 2, 2008
I had some nice comments from
clients last week.
October 1, 2008
Well, I expected it to happen some
time. For the first time in four years, I had to pay rent out
of my pocket. The problem is that I really don’t have it there
either.
September 30,
2008
September turned out to be a hot
month for Caring Palms. Unfortunately, this was not due to a
huge amount of sessions but high temperatures and a failure of
the air conditioning system.
September 27,
2008
Ok, now the universe is screwing
with me. It keeps tossing me possibilities, then taking them
away.
September 10,
2008
Ok, I know it is always a slow time
of the year, but it better pick up or I will have a problem come
end of month.
September 8,
2008
I heard from a friend yesterday
that I had not heard from in quite a while. Something she told
me did not surprise me, yet it did.
September 7,
2008
I was in the pet store today where
I ran into my 81 year-old client. She told me that she had to
have Angel put down.
September 6,
2008
I taught a Reiki 2 class at the
studio today. It was a very good class. I like the Reiki 2’s
because I get to get on the table and receive healing. But when
I did something interesting happened.
August 29, 2008
Today’s life has a good amount of
stress. In fact, the stress levels of people have quadrupled in
the last 30 years, maybe even the last 10. Computers have made
things faster causing business to live or die on how quickly
they can make decisions and implement them. This, of course,
makes people have to react faster, work harder, and work
longer.
August 23, 2008
One thing that bothers me about
riding out the storm is how many businesses think that their
employees lives are worth less than making a couple of bucks.
Greed in this country is out of control.
August 22, 2008
Today, we rode out the storm.
Tropical storm Fay passed our way. It dumped lots of rain and
heavy winds in the area. While that was happening, I kept
reinforcing the protections around the house.
August 12, 2008
I talked with a friend today that I
have not talked with in a long time. John had just been to a
mediumship workshop in the Orlando area, and through spirit, was
convinced he needed to call me.
August 4, 2008
I was on my way to school this
evening when I was hit by a large truck. I got banged around,
but other than that I am unhurt. It was what my neighbor said
when she looked at the damage to my car that threw me. She told
me “You’ve got more damned lives than a cat.” Wow.
August 1, 2008
Guess what? I made my expenses for
the month.
July 31, 2008
My 81 year-old client was in again
today, and she told me something else that stunned me. She told
me that she thinks I would be a good person to have around when
one dies. As I pick up my jaw from the floor, please read on.
July 24, 2008
I was talking with a friend today,
and we were discussing problems. Suddenly, this pops into my
head… “How we deal with problems is as important as the problems
themselves.”
July 22, 2008
I had a client in today that I have
seen several times before. She had some issues and wanted a
good massage so she could relax, but something said I should do
MFR.
July 17, 2008
I saw my 81 year old client again
today. Her comments were priceless.
July 15, 2008
Today turned things around thanks
to my mediumship teacher. Believe it or not, there really is
light there.
July 14, 2008
Some time ago, I wrote a post that
I called Darkness Descending. For some reason, it has not only
come back, it seems to be enveloping me.
July 13, 2008
I know I have talked about distant
attunements before, but I think after yesterday’s class, I have more to say
about them.
July 12, 2008
I taught Reiki 1 today. The experience was
less that fantastic.
July 2, 2008
Things have been crazy lately, and
it is getting crazier. We are rushed. We are stressed. We are
feeling pinched in everything we do and want to do. The
cause? Well, there are many causes, the most predominate right
now being the price of gas. But that is only a part of things.
June 28, 2008
Well, my friend's pain didn't stay
away as long as I had hoped.
June 26, 2008
Today, I did some work on a friend
that I have not seem in some five years. The results were more
than I could have expected.
June 10, 2008
Well, I’ve now done it. I turned
down an opportunity to teach Reiki at a very large, fairly local
spa. What I lost was a month’s rent. What I kept was my
integrity.
May 30, 2008
I had a client in today for a
90-minute massage session. Did she ever get a pleasant
surprise.
May 20, 2008
Today was our last day of Esalen
class. We started by dancing.
May 19, 2008
Classes continued today with a 12 hour marathon class. It may
have been a long day, but it was a very good day of practice,
and I got some feedback I didn’t expect.
May 18, 2008, part
2
Tonight was the first class in the Esalen Massage workshop in
Asheville, NC. It was very different than I had expected, and
very enlightening.
May 18, 2008, part
1
Tonight was the first day of
class. But before I went there, I got to run around a bit, and
the place to go in Asheville is the Biltmore Estate.
May 1, 2008
I was sitting in another class
tonight when one of the students asked if anyone had something
for a headache. No one had any pills or anything, and the only
thing I had was… me.
April 24, 2008
My mediumship teacher
was up today to give me another class. As always, it was
interesting.
April 18, 2008
I had a new client in
today. She was a referral from another client. She made an
interesting comment after I had been working on her for a few
minutes. She said that she felt totally at ease and felt secure
trusting her body to my hands.
April 15, 2008
It was dream time again last night,
or should I say today? I was not feeling well, so I stayed home
from the shop today. While laying on the couch (wich I was
sharing with my dog, Bebe, and my cat Isis), I had a strange
dream.
April 14, 2008
I gave a talk at Heritage Institute
today on energy and Reiki. One of the things I had the students
do was to feel each others energy fields. As usual, I got the
response I usually get… It’s just their body heat.
April 1, 2008
I have
heard something from two clients in the past few days that is
neat to hear, and amazing, but I know that I have to continue to
earn it. They told me that I have a client for life.
March 31, 2008
I received a call from my 81
year-old client today. She wanted to tell me how the cat was
doing.
March 29, 2008
This was an interesting day. I
taught Reiki 2, and then worked on a cat (yes, that’s correct,
as in feline).
March 28, 2008
I had two phone calls today. One
was from the person that referred the 81 year-old lady to me,
and the other was from the lady herself.
March 27, 2008
Over the last
11 years, I have been a Reiki master, even though I have been
doing this for a while now, I am still amazed at what it can do,
and how amazing, almost miraculous it can be. By now, one would
think that I would be used to it. I mean, people come in and
get Reiki, and then leave feeling better. That is normal. But
every now and then, it is like the sky opening up and everything
falling into alignment.
March 16, 2008
I had a cancellation today that was
weird. No, it wasn’t weird that I had a cancellation, but weird
how it happened.
February 29, 2008
When
we talk about energy, we usually mention chakras. So, what
are chakras, and what do they control? Read on, and you
will find out.
February 22, 2008
I had a new customer come in for a
massage today. She works for the lawyer that just moved into
the next building.
February 14, 2008
I meet
some interesting people doing what I do. For instance, I have
worked on Chuck Yeager, John Corbett, Linda Williams, Jimmy
Olson, Nancy Walker, and Linda Hamilton.
February 3, 2008
I received a call from a man from
India who is in this country that wanted healing.
February 2, 2008
I had a client call to come in
today for massage, but only because it said Reiki in the
description.
January 29, 2008
I worked on my youngest client
today, a 2 ½ year old girl.
January 9, 2008
Last night was a dream,
actually a series of dreams. As most dreams do, they come
with the alarm clock’s tone and the swatting of the snooze
button. Each time this was done, I went back into the
dream.
January 2, 2008
I don’t know why, but I spent
the year in fear and nervousness. Considering what I wrote
yesterday about the new year’s curse, this is not a good
thing.
January 1, 2008
Curses. The curse of the mummy?
Curses, foiled again? How about the old Chinese blessing which
is also referred to as a curse… May you live in interesting
times? Or how about, may you get what you want (knowing that
you won’t want it after you get it)? But I have one for the New
Year…Every day of the year will be a reflection of the first
day.
December 30, 2008
I have a friend that is very much
into energy (like I’m not?) and the coming earth changes. He
was giving me a warning.
December 29, 2008
Did you ever feel like things just
suddenly took a sharp left? Life was going great and then the
bottom fell out? Well, that’s how I feel now.
December 26,
2007
Each year we hear the same thing…
“It’s a new year, time to turn over a new leaf.” Maybe yes,
maybe no. What it is time to do is make commitments. Now I’m
not talking resolutions here, as resolutions have become the
standard joke. We expect them to be broken, therefore they are
temporary. What we need to do is make commitments, and one of
the places to make those commitments is in our own healthcare.
December 20,
2007
Teaching at nights at a local
corporate college has really opened my eyes to the state of
education in this country. I’m really scared when I see what is
coming into my classes.
December 13,
2007
One of my students had a migraine
during class. It was Reiki to the rescue again.
December 12,
2007
I heard from my client whose
grandfather popped in the other day. He was a bit confused at
how this could happen and had questions.
December 10,
2007
I would think that I’d be used to
spirits popping in, and the means they use to get my attention,
but I guess I’m really not. Here’s one that did something a bit
unusual.
December 5, 2007
Now I think I’m getting a bit
cocky. Or maybe not. I did two massages today to regular
clients. Both of them were freeform.
November 21,
2007
Tonight was the next to the last
class for this current group of students. Last night I had
shown them a video on Esalen massage, and the movements form
that were so totally different to what they were doing, that it
just blew them away. Tonight they wanted to see some moves, so
I chose a ‘victim’ and did a massage… from nothing.
November 8, 2007
Having a large class has a lot more
problems than having a small class. Trying to get everyone
taught on the massage routine when some are out on various
nights is especially hard. Trying to keep everyone up to date
with book work is easier. Trying to deal with 10 different
personalities is fun, but here’s a new one… having a student
faint in the middle of class.
November 5, 2007
As a skeptic (and yes, I really am
one), I keep having doubts about doing energy work distantly and
if it really has effect. At the same time, I keep on sending.
And every now and then I get confirmation that something is
happening.
October 30, 2007
Class has been interesting this
mod. I have 11 students (yes, that is more than the night class
has ever had), and many of them have contraindications (problems
that can be made worse by massage. In fact, while one of my
students was being worked on, her problem flared up and she was
in great pain, so much so that to lightly touch the area hurt.
October 17, 2007
Let’s see… Massage sessions: $60
per hour, Reiki energy and mediumship readings at no additional
charge.
October 13, 2007
Did you ever hear of the Healing
Zone? Well, I was there last night. It’s not quite like the
Twilight Zone, and one doesn’t see visions of Rod Serling, but
it is a unique place where magic happens.
October 12, 2007
After having a really nice bodywork
trade today (yes, I got worked on), I had a walk-in for a Reiki
session.
October 1, 2007
Last week, I did Reiki on a client
that kept coming up with new problems as I treated her. This
week I started with MFR, and the same thing ensued.
September 27,
2007
I had a client in today for a Reiki
session. That’s where things started, but they definitely took
a sharp left.
September 25,
2007
I finally had a night off and got
to go to Mediumship class tonight. We each brought a picture of
someone that has passed over. Those went into envelopes and
then randomly paired up. From those we did readings without
opening the envelopes.
September 15,
2007
I did a Reiki session today on one
of my former students from several years ago. This was the
first time I had seen her in at least two years.
September 10,
2007
Someone once said that we should
act locally, but think globally. The idea behind that us
wonderful, but not always possible. At the same time, doesn’t
everything we do reflect outward?
September 9, 2007
I’ve been lost in proverbs again.
I’ve been looking at my business and trying to figure out what
to do next to get customers in.
September 7, 2007
A friend called this morning whom I
had not heard from in a very long time. In fact, it was the
friend that originally introduced me to Reiki. She had a
healing request.
August 29, 2007
My mediumship teacher stopped by to
get a healing session and teach a class. Today’s class dealt
with doing a reading through psychometry, which uses the
vibrations off an object to connect with the person being read.
Sometimes this can be simply a psychic reading, but can connect
through to spirit and become mediumship. Today’s session became
mediumship, and I got slammed.
August 19, 2007
I was at the bank today, using the
ATM when a car pulled up with their stereo blasting. One person
got out while the other stayed in the car with this
boom-boom-boom vibrating the parking lot. Everyone that came
past me into the bank looked over there and commented about the
people in the car. I guess my question is… why do people feel
they have the right to be rude?
August 18, 2007
My class was receiving massages
form one of the advanced classes tonight. This was part of a
trade that the other teacher and I had arranged. There was one
student sitting out because she could barely walk.
August 10, 2007
It started out to be a strange
class tonight, teaching-wise that is. One of the teachers was
supposed to be out. The other called in sick. That left me to
teach a combination of three classes.
July 16, 2007
I gave a talk and demonstration
this morning at FMU on Reiki. Everything was fine for the most
part, then things just suddenly went south.
June 30, 2007
I
think I have a new way of taking tests… ask spirit for the
answers.
June 18, 2007
Tonight, I talked on Reiki to a combined class at Florida
Metropolitan University.
June 13, 2007
Tonight, because my student did not
show up, I ended up sitting in on the Chinese medicine class
where they were showing a video on Reiki. Oh my gosh! What a
piece of Felgercarb! But what it lead to was absolutely
spectacular.
June 12, 2007
All right. Here’s a new one. I
just lost a session because I’m not a Christian female.
June 11, 2007
What’s the buzz? Well, bees. What
about bees? Do you know that they are dying?
June 5, 2007
Ok, I have to admit it. A good way
to get rid of a migraine seems to be to get Reiki.
June 4, 2007
Stress! These long days are really
getting to me.
June 3, 2007
I find
it interesting that the universe gives us what we need.
June 2, 2007
This has been a long time coming,
but I taught my first Couples Massage class today for money.
June 1, 2007
As our society
changes and advances, I sometimes question if what we truly have
is advancement or not.
May 31, 2007
After
going through yesterday’s exercise, we had a little time left,
so Marilyn asked if I wanted to try the exercise she was
planning for last night’s advanced class. She told me that she
was going to have the students write down a name, and have
someone else come up with words for each letter and then give a
reading. I initially had my doubts if I could do that, which I
figured meant that I needed to.
May 30, 2007
Marilyn, my mediumship teacher was
in today. Since I can’t make the monthly classes because I am
teaching in the evenings, she is willing to give me personal
training in exchange for Reiki sessions.
May 25, 2007
Well, I just finished my first full
mod (module) at school. I hope it was what was needed.
May 20, 2007
I’ve seen where doctors are on call
for emergencies. How about energy workers?
May 17, 2007
I was
starting class tonight, and looked at my students. One seemed
to be having a problem, so I asked what was wrong.
May 10, 2007
I was asked by someone to send
white light to a particular situation. Looking back, I find it
interesting that they asked me to send it to the situation,
and not to specific people. But as it turned out, that was the
correct focus.
April 15, 2007
Here’s a scary one. While I have
had my studio open, and even before, I have been learning what
it takes to run a business. Well, looking at the profit and
loss report for this year, go t me thinking.
April 14, 2007
Well, I got the news. It looks
like I’m going to be a teacher.
April 13, 2007
Hand jobs! Get your fresh hot hand
jobs to go! You wouldn’t believe this phone call.
April 12, 2007
I talk about energy a lot, how
energy can affect someone, do various things, even affect how
people act. How about considering energy as a permeating force
driving a group of people? Well, tonight I saw it first hand,
and was part of it.
April 10, 2007
I know things tend to go in cycles,
but this is actually silly, yet not.
April 9, 2007
Energies of the universe flow in many
directions. It’s like currents and eddies that sometimes take you where you
should be. That may be happening in my case.
April 5, 2007
I had
a client today that was particularly interesting in how she
reacted to energies.
April 1, 2007
Strangely enough, it was a slow
month last month, yet the best month on record.
March 18, 2007
I was working on my client
yesterday when she told me something. She told me “You’re a
very gifted healer.” This got me to thinking of something a
friend and I had been talking about the other day… what is the
difference between a massage therapist and a healer?
March 17, 2007
Well, I had an awesome week last
week. It just would have been nice to bring in some money.
March 14, 2007
We had an interesting mediumship
class last night. We did readings with paint chips.
March 13, 2007
With all I said yesterday, I am
finding it hard to be positive.
March 12, 2007
Ok, let’s talk energies. What can
you do with them, and what can they do for you? What prompted
these questions is a video I watched (which is from a book) that
everyone seems to be putting down. It’s called The Secret.
March 10, 2007
I had a really good Reiki 1 class
today. I had five students which is more than I have taught
before, and that created a problem or two.
February 28, 2007
Stuff happens (of course it’s
usually spelled differently). We know that. But it seems to
come in waves making us live crisis to crisis.
February 25, 2007
I did
a massage session today that by the time I was done, had opened
the eyes of my client to insight that she had not thought
possible.
February 10, 2007
I taught Reiki 1 today. It was an
interesting group, and one of the comments was very interesting.
January 26, 2007
We’ve all at some time heard
someone say “Please God, give me strength.” Someone made a
comment about this the other day that I found quite interesting.
January 25, 2007
Well, I just returned from four
days of training in Temple Lomi Lomi. It was a very rewarding
experience, and most of the moves I learned are completely
integrateable into what I do now.
January 20, 2007
I was
doing Myofascial Release (MFR) work on a client today when in
the course of the session, he made a pretty insightful
statement. He said that ignorance leads to pain and suffering.
January 18, 2007
I had an unusual situation today
that started out as a massage and ended up into an unwinding.
January 10, 2007
Yesterday, I talked about
religions, and how one of the major religions on the planet did
some ‘major marketing’ to promote itself as the number one faith
on the planet. But I do have some questions. Why are people so
passionate about their faiths that they want to force others to
follow what they do? Why do some people believe so much in what
they are told by their religious leaders that they will do evil
or plain old stupid things because they are told to do so? Why
is it that religions teach tolerance, but that doesn’t seem to
be anything practiced by their people? Just a few queries that
I will take a bit more in depth as you read on.
January 9, 2007
Politics and religion, two things
that tend to get people very angry. Why is that? Well, I tend
to stay away from politics as much as I can in this journal
because there are way too many opinions, mine included. But
what also incites people is talk of religion, especially when it
differs with someone’s beliefs. Because of this, I’m not going
to talk about religion here, right? Not!
January 8, 2007
Inventions are amazing things. You
might look at something and wonder where people come up with the
ideas that they do. Well, I have a theory based on an invention
that I had an idea for many years before it actually was
invented.
December 13, 2006
Fact. Fantasy. Reality. In all
things, there is darkness, and there is light. And even in
those, there must be balance.
December 7, 2006
I did
an awesome massage session today. It was like nothing I have
done in quite a while.
November 20, 2006
One thing I notice about mediums is
that they seem to have different goals.
November 16, 2006
I have been reading a book that I
am finding very interesting. It’s called “Ask And It Is Given
“ and tells how to match vibrations with what you want.
November 14, 2006
I had
an interesting time in mediumship class tonight. We did
inspired speaking and writing, and it was a very interesting
process doing this.
November 10, 2006
I was giving a Reiki session
today, and suddenly it turned into an impromptu reading
(mediumship reading that is).
October 24, 2006
I had my third
mediumship class tonight, and pulled information from a card I
pulled out of a deck. My teacher called them ‘inner child’
cards. What I got was interesting, but I just couldn’t put it
all together.
October 21, 2006
I taught Reiki 1 today to two
students. One of them had had the class previously by another
teacher a long time ago. The other was new to it, although she
seems to be doing it already. And another thing, she is a very
open empath.
October 20, 2006
Alone again… naturally?
October 17, 2006
Ever since taking the Myofascial
Release (MFR) classes in Las Vegas, I have been in a new mental
and energetic state when doing all massage.
October 14, 2006
You know sometimes that no matter
how much you know you’re going to get hit in the face, you
really don’t know it until it actually happens.
October 4, 2006
Well, I knew this was going to
happen some day. My partner told me that she is leaving.
October 1, 2006
As part of the mediumship workshop,
the regular class go to meet with Simone and get a spiritual
assessment. She went down the people one at a time spending
five minutes with each of us. What she told me was fascinating.
September 30,
2006
Today was an amazing day. I
attended a mediumship workshop taught by Simone Key of the
Arthur Findlay School in Britain.
September 28,
2006
I met with Simone Key for my first
ever mediumship reading. I have had readings before, psychic
readings, but not mediumship ones.
September 25,
2006
I had my last MFR class today, and
I was surprised when I said goodbye to one of the assistant
instructors.
September 23,
2006
I have written a few articles on
finding a therapist over the past couple of years. When one is
out of town, it can be quite hard to put those suggestions into
practice, as I found out in Las Vegas.
September 20,
2006
Today was the last day of
Unwinding, and I got to work with one of the assistant
instructors.
September 19
(Part 2)
One of the most interesting parts
of the Unwinding class was the group sessions. This is where
one person did the unwinding, and up to three others worked with
them.
September 19
(Part 1)
Well today’s class ended with
something unusual (as if this stuff has been normal). I was
doing Reiki on someone I had been working with in class
yesterday as she had wanted to see it. I had gotten part way
through when she suddenly started unwinding.
September 18,
2006
I had my first class on Myofascial
Unwinding today. Now, I have been through some bizarre classes
before, but this takes the cake.
September 17,
2006
Making my travel to Las Vegas was
an experience. A good experience surprisingly.
September 11,
2006
I had a dream last night that I
thought was totally bizarre. But then I woke up and realized
what the date was.
August 23, 2006
I
haven’t addressed this yet, but I think I need to. Something in
the news last week has put us all in the hands of fear again.
August 20, 2006
Well, we had probably the best week
we have ever had last week. It at least made up for the week
before.
August 18, 2006
I tried a new method of advertising
this month. I put a five-line ad in the city newspaper.
August 17, 2006
Here’s one for you. I have been
thinking about food and eating. Read more, you’ll like it.
August 16, 2006
What a difference a week makes.
Business has changed.
August 15, 2006
I had a client in here today that
made a comment that made me think a half second or so. He said
“you do massage spiritually, don’t you?”
August 13, 2006
I just
came off a weekend where I taught Reiki both days.
August 11, 2006
I know
I have complained about business being slow before, but there's
slow, and there's unbelievably slow.
August 9, 2006
Appointments. Cancellations. More
appointments. More cancellations.
August 3, 2006
Hello. Caring Palms. This is Brian.
**click** Caring Palms, this is Brian. I‘m sorry wrong number. And this
is just culminating a bad week.
July 30, 2006
Trends. I am slowly noticing how things
change, and how we define things as being ok to do or not. The way we do
things is different than it was several years ago.
July 29, 2006
Ok, here’s another one. We had two
appointments this morning. At least that is how it started.
July 25, 2006
I had a very interesting evening tonight. I
attended my first mediumship class.
July 21, 2006
I’m getting real tired of the bubba BS from
people. We had a couple clients come in this afternoon that wanted
massages. Then things turned south (and I don’t mean heading toward the
equator).
July 1, 2006
I have been attending the Florida
State Massage Therapy convention this weekend. While picking up
some good marketing information in a couple classes, I did get
to assist with the Lomi Lomi class that Alice gave. It was
fun.
June 26, 2006
I had an interesting encounter with
a snake today, and no, I don’t mean the door to door sales
person.
June 25, 2006
Well, it finally happened. I hired
a female employee. Actually, today marks two weeks that she has
been with me.
June 20, 2006
I taught Reiki 1 today with two
students. One of them had taken it just because he has heard me
talk about it, the other because I had worked on her a week or
so before. (She was the one that had the tendril attached to
her siphoning her energy off.)
June 19, 2006
A funny thing happened at the
beginning of the Lomi class the other day.
June 18, 2006
I just finished auditing the
advanced Lomi Lomi class in Plantation, Florida. I wanted to
take this because I felt I needed some guidance on some of the
moves. I wasn’t prepared to see that I knew it a lot less than
I thought I did.
June 13, 2006
I notice that things tend to go in
cycles. Lately, I seem to be doing a lot of Myofascial
Release.
June 9, 2006
I had a client come in today (who
was a massage therapist) that wanted a full Reiki session and a
massage.
June 8, 2006
Last night, I dreamed that I was
dying. Tonight, I dreamed that I killed someone.
June 7, 2006
I had a dream that I was dying. It
was very strange.
May 28, 2006
I had a massage scheduled for this
morning. Unfortunately, I ended up going through a lot of
trouble for nothing.
May 24, 2006
I had gotten a call yesterday that
ended up involving three massages.
May 18, 2006
The lady that I did the MFR work on
last week returned.
May 11, 2006
I have been working with Myofascial
Release (MFR) for over a year now. I don’t do it that often,
but every now and then someone thinks that this may be what they
want, or I may suggest it. I have had some success with it, but
nothing consistent to ‘write home about’… at least… until today.
May 5, 2006
I attended my first meeting as part
of the Program Advisory Committee for Remington College, a local
industrial school. It was at the least educational. What it
also was, was very interesting.
May 2, 2006
Ok, it’s rant time again. I got a call this
morning that really set me off.
May 1, 2006
Well, a problem
with my DSL modem at home has kept me from publishing the entries I have
written. So since I couldn’t publish, I kept writing, and you get stuck with
one more saying.
J
The greatest mistake you can make in life is to be continually fearing you will
make one.
April 29, 2006
Today, I got another big sale for a short
session. This is cool.
April 25, 2006
I did 35 minutes worth of work today, and that
brought in some big money.
April 24, 2006
This is the
last one. I promise (well at least for a while.) It's a great satisfaction
knowing that for a brief point in time you made a difference.
April 23, 2006
I don’t know why, but I am still amazed by the
way people find me.
April 17, 2006
I had a client today that gave me an
interesting referral.
April 16, 2006
Ok, so here’s
another saying…Happiness is a perfume you can't pour on others without
getting a drop on yourself!
April 14, 2006
Here is another proverb to think about…A
ship in the harbor is safe, but that is not what ships are built for.
April 13, 2006
I’ve been
running into proverbs and sayings lately that make good sense. Here’s the
first one… Never invoke the gods unless you really want them to appear. It
annoys them very much. -- G.K. Chesterton
April 11, 2006
For a long time now (probably since I moved
to Florida), I have had nothing but complaints about the medical industry
and doctors in general. In fact, finding a good doctor is a major trial.
Well, that trip took a sharp turn the other day, and lead on an interesting,
yet disappointing journey.
April 10, 2006
I have come to realize the power grief has
on us. There are a lot of emotions that radiate through us, some happy,
some sad. But grief seems to make them all pale in comparison.
April 9, 2006
I participated in my first expo this year.
The Forever Young Expo at the University of North Florida (UNF) campus was
an all day health products show geared for people who are looking for
alternative methods of healing.
April 7, 2006
A friend of mine sent me a link to an
article on MSNBC that dealt with a chiropractor in Ohio. He is in jeopardy
of losing his license for doing energy healing work.
April 6, 2006
I was talking to a friend online tonight in
Connecticut. He was talking about auras and colors and such.
April 5, 2006
I just got back from Ireland. It wasn’t a
long trip, maybe five minutes.
March 24, 2006
There are a few
more things I wanted to talk about from John Edward. He made some valid
points as he tried to teach some interesting information to the people in
the audience.
March 23, 2006
Well, I had a very interesting
evening. I just got back from seeing John Edward. And to answer
your question before you ask it, no, I didn’t connect with
someone on the other side. And although that may be a small
disappointment, I do understand that I didn’t have the need,
while others did.
March 21, 2006
Well, now that I will be seeing
John Edward in a couple of days, I find it interesting that I
have had a couple of visitations in my dreams.
March 19, 2006
I did
a couples massage today, and it was very, very neat.
March 14, 2006
We are a touch starved society.
Somewhere along the line, society became afraid to touch. Yes,
it’s rant time again.
March 13, 2006
We talk about Reiki, Therapeutic
Touch, and many other healing modalities. One thing that they
all have in common is that modern day science (modern medicine)
doesn’t believe in them. And that mostly stems from the
inability to measure them.
March 12, 2006
Here is something that came to me
that seems to make a lot of sense… Your touch is your
introduction. Your energies are your intent, and define who you
are.
March 11, 2006
I taught Reiki 1 today. This was a
class that seemed destined to happen no matter how many times it
should have been cancelled.
March 8, 2006
I had a man come in today while I
was talking to a student from one of the local colleges. He
wanted massage.
March 7, 2006
With the death of our Siberian
Husky, Cheetah, last February, we adopted another Husky in May.
This dog had been very badly abused, and she was reacting very
poorly to our attempts at affection. Now, this may sound like a
dog story, and for a part it is, but it is also a people story
with something to think about.
March 6, 2006
Well, this is going to be something
new. I purchased tickets to a performance at the Florida
Theater on March 23rd. Now, you might be wondering
what band or musical performer I’m going to see. Well,
performer would be correct, but musical would not. The tickets
are to see John Edward.
March 1, 2006
Ok, somewhere there has to be a
subliminal message to things of late. I’m starting to think
that maybe it is Breast Cancer Awareness month… or should be.
February 28, 2006
I did an interesting massage
session today. I had a lady that had had breast cancer, and had
a double mastectomy. Since she couldn’t lay on her stomach, I
did a regular massage (with oils) in a massage chair.
February 21, 2006
I worked on (I guess you would call
her) a breast cancer survivor today.
February 18, 2006
Terry Rogers was in town today to
give a talk about Reiki and healthcare. What he had to say was
quite interesting.
February 17, 2006
I just completed my second day at
an AIDs summit. I was there to talk about Reiki from my table
and in a presentation.
February 11, 2006
I taught Reiki 1 to one person
today. Although the class size was small, it was a good class.
February 6, 2006
I worked on two older ladies
today. After working on the first, and then talking to the
second, I can relay a funny incident that happened that I was
unaware of.
February 3, 2006
I had a lady walk in
the shop today asking about massage. She lives in Kansas and
will be moving to this area soon.
January 31, 2006
On my way in this morning, I had
stopped off at Emily’s shop up the street to drop off a flyer.
While I was there talking with Cynthia, a prospective client
came in and asked some questions. Her response to the answers
was very strange.
January 26, 2006
Well, I’ve created a new product,
Massage Class for Couples. That’s right, I’m teaching massage
now, but not for students looking to be massage therapists. I’m
teaching the general public.
January 25, 2006
I did
Reiki today on a 90 year old lady.
January 24, 2006
Well, this has been a month. Today
was my first day back at work after being out sick a week.
January 14, 2006
I taught Reiki 1 today. I had two
students, but it was a good combination.
January 12, 2006
I did something today I
should have done a long time ago. I joined a gym. Now that in
itself was not so mentionable or strange. The person I had to
deal with was another matter, and it was very scary.
January 5, 2006
All right, it’s only five days into
the new year, and already time for the first rant. I ask you,
why do people have to be so ignorant?
January 4, 2006
Numbers, numbers, numbers. Well it
is the end of the year, so I am entitled to look at numbers
again.
January 3, 2006
Back in August of last year,
certain learning energies were made available to us. This will
continue until August of this year. Time is running out.
January 2, 2006
Control. We are, in our own ways,
control freaks. We want to feel in control of ourselves and our
surroundings, but all too often we don’t have control at all.
Maybe it’s time to let go.
January 1, 2006
Well, here it is, the New Year.
What will it be filled with? What will we let it be filled
with?
December 30, 2005
So much for hopes and desires. I
got blown off for the last time this year.
December 29, 2005
Well, this week was a surprise. I
didn’t expect anyone to come in, yet I did get to do some work.
December 26, 2005
Since mid November, I have been
running a special on gift certificates. My special is that if
someone buys four of them, they get a fifth one free. Well, I
didn’t sell as many as I had hoped, but I did sell a total of 31
which isn’t anything to sneeze at.
December 22, 2005
It has been a slow month as far as
work goes, yet I seem to be staying afloat.
December 21, 2005
I have been selling gift
certificates for the holidays with a special to try to boost
sales. Some of the responses I have gotten have been
interesting.
December
11, 2005
Now I’m concerned. There is this
company in town that epitomizes the throw away society we’ve
created. They throw away massage therapists.
December 5, 2005
Well, it has been a long weekend,
but the shop is finally back in order.
December 2, 2005
Well, it finally happened. I got
new carpeting in the shop.
November 25, 2005
Something unique happened during a
session today. I enabled my client to visit with her mother.
November 24, 2005
As I
said in the other day’s post, I changed the format of the entire
Reiki side of the site, with the exception of the journal
entries. This is something I will be working on, but couldn’t
get it all done immediately because there’s so bloody many of
them. In fact there are 550 entries (if I counted correctly).
Now I ask one question… What the hell could I have to say that I
wrote so much about?
November 19, 2005
Well, I have finally come out of my
hole. What hole you might ask. Well the one that I was in
while I as chained to the computer making massive changes to the
website.
November 16, 2005
I got a call this morning by
someone wanting a massage. And I, of course, had an opening.
J
November 15, 2005
Today, I took part in a job fair at
Remington College, a technical institution in Jacksonville.
Since I am actually looking for someone, this seemed like a good
thing to do.
November 14, 2005
It was a very pleasant evening. I
went to a Reiki share that one of my students had held.
November 13, 2005
When I was in Sedona in February, I
learned a lot about the earth’s magnetic field and how the
migrations of certain animals have been disturbed by what can
only be called a shift. Well, my wife just got back from
California with another interesting story.
November 3, 2005
Well, things in the studio are
changing, and the changes are nearing completion. But, there
seems to be one big snag that is becoming very troublesome.
October 31, 2005
All, right, it’s Halloween, or
better put, All Hallow’s Eve, the day the dead walk the earth.
So, why wasn’t I expecting a visitation?
October 24, 2005
So much for big expectations. Last
week was great. This week was a disaster.
October 18, 2005
I had a record week last week.
Cool!
October 17, 2005
I had a very interesting morning.
I went out to a local technical school and gave a talk on Reiki
to the massage students there.
October 16, 2005
I saw
the gentlemen that came in after class yesterday. He had gone
to bed feeling good, but was in pain again.
October 15, 2005
I taught Reiki 1 today with three
students. After that, I did a Reiki session on someone. Talk
about being in the right frame of mind.
J
October 14, 2005
I set a new shop record today. I
worked on five people. This is the first time that I've done
that many since opening the doors here.
October 13, 2005
My landlord's assistant was having
some pretty bad pain today, so she came over to see me.
October 12, 2005
Yesterday, when I
was teaching class, I went to the office next door to one of my neighbors to
see if they wanted to be a body for my student. She came willingly.
October 11, 2005
I
finished up Reiki 1 today with Kerrie.
October 10, 2005
My landlord brought her son over
today as he was in great need of work. His comments were
priceless.
October 8, 2005
Remember I said I was doing a lot more Reiki session? Well now I have
numbers.
October 7, 2005 (Part 2)
After
my student had left this morning, the two Ukrainian ladies had stopped by to
say goodbye. I have not known them long, but will miss them.
October 7, 2005 (Part 1)
Well
this has been a very busy week, and I’m loving it.
October 6, 2005
My
student from the Ukraine (the one that speaks English
J)
was in today for a post job massive cleansing. Now this was an intense
session.
October 4, 2005
I
know things go in cycles, but even I can’t believe how many Reiki sessions I
am doing lately.
October 3, 2005
Ok,
I’m dreaming again. When I was waking up this morning, I dreamed that I had
broken a tooth. Now talk about a bizarre dream. And I thought it was…
until it happened.
October 1, 2005
I had been going
up to an assisted living community to do Reiki on one of the people there.
John’s daughter had contacted me from Washington, DC to go in and work on
him. I had done that several times until her brother told her that it was
not affordable. She called me today to let me know that he had died.
September 28, 2005
Wow.
I need to get this down before I forget too much. The thing is it has been
over 12 hours. I had a couple very weird dreams last night.
September 27, 2005
Did
you ever consider anger as an energy? I mean an energy that seemed to have
its own mind and will? I think I saw that today, and it was astonishing.
September 25, 2005
Well
this has been one busy weekend, and I’ve loved it.
September 24, 2005
I
taught Reiki 3 today to three people, one of which was Natasha, the lady
from the Ukraine that does not speak English. It was a fun class.
September 12, 2005
I had
a very interesting day today. I ended up doing a massage and two Reiki
sessions.
September 10, 2005
I
hate to say it, but I am getting more and more discouraged with modern
healthcare today. The more people I talk with, I hear too many things that
make me just shake my head. Yes, it’s rant time again.
September 9, 2005
For
years now, I have been told by several people that I will eventually end up
in the hills of Virginia or North Carolina. It is from there that I will
watch (or survive) the earth changes. One of the people that told me this
said that when the calling comes, “don’t ignore it.” Seeing the destruction
wrought by the hurricane last week, I had several gut feelings about what
ever warning I might get.
September 8, 2005
What
is it with people? Why do they think that their properties are worth more
than their lives?
September 7, 2005
For
the last month, I have been doing outcalls to an assisted living center to
do Reiki on John. I didn’t get to see him this week as things have changed.
September 6, 2005
I
have been having a lot of dreams lately, and they all seem to have the same
theme.
September 3, 2005
As I
have said before, I tend to have my ups and downs. I seem to ride that
roller coaster even though I am aware that it exists and that I shouldn’t
get on it. But, like most therapists, I’m up when I work, and down when I
don’t.
August 31, 2005
What
a difference a day makes. Through the marvels(?) of television, we have
seen things go from impending doom to total disaster.
August 29, 2005
Storms. I’m really starting to hate storms.
August 27, 2005
I had
a long day today. I taught a Reiki 2 class followed by two massages.
August 24, 2005
I had
a client today that has moved to this area and is looking for a regular
therapist to go to. She found me in the local free health paper.
August 23, 2005
I had
a client come in today on a gift certificate purchased by her boyfriend
yesterday.
August 22, 2005
Today, I feel bad. I did a massage that was less than it could have been.
I don’t know that you’d call it a bad massage, but to me, it was lacking.
August 16, 2005
I had
a client in four days ago that had a lot going on. Today, I called to check
on her progress.
August 13, 2005
The week
before last, I worked on someone that had really bad neck problems, so bad
in fact that when she left, she still had some pain. I was unhappy that I
couldn't help her more, but I had done all I could do. But then the
realization hit me of how few times this happens.
August 12, 2005
So far
I've done 10 Reiki sessions this year. Today was the third this week. It
was very interesting, and preparing for it was a process.
August 9, 2005
I got a
big-time reminder today about how much energy can do.
August 8, 2005
I again
worked on John in the assisted living community. This time, a couple of
things happened that struck me as unusual.
August 7, 2005
I
taught a very interesting Reiki 1 class today. I had one student, and her
translator. You see, my student couldn’t speak English.
August 1, 2005
I
worked on John today at the assisted living health center. It was an
interesting session, and then something happened.
July 30, 2005
Every
morning, I do my energy exercises, and cleanse the studio. I'm starting to
wonder if how I clean the studio has anything to do with the clientele I
get.
July 29, 2005
I did two
massage sessions today, but the first one was a very bad experience.
July 22, 2005
I
thought last week turned out to be a very good week, and it did, but this
one was better.
July 21, 2005
Well,
I finally did it. I decided that I needed room in my filing cabinet, so I
started pulling out files of those that I had not seen in a year.
July 20, 2005 (Part 2)
I had
another busy day again, after a beginning of the day cancellation.
July 20, 2005 (Part 1)
Well,
so much for the low profile. Someone had said that there are lots of dark
things going around now and that us lightworkers should be keeping our heads
down.
July 19, 2005 (Part 2)
I had
an interesting session today. It all started out to be a simple Reiki
session, but turned into a bit more.
July 19, 2005 (Part 1)
I had
a repair person over to the house this morning, and did not get into the
studio until about 12:30 this afternoon. When I did, I had two people
asking about Reiki classes.
July 18, 2005
Class
scheduling has become an interesting thing lately.
July 16, 2005
I
finally caught up with my neighbor today to find out how her hands are
doing.
July 15, 2005
I had
two clients today, so this makes six for the week. Cool.
July 14, 2005
My
neighbor stopped me as I was on my way out this evening and asked if there
was an alternative medicine approach to carpal tunnel syndrome (keep in mind
that she is a cardiac nurse, a medical professional).
July 13, 2005 (Part 2)
I
went up to the assisted living community today to fill out forms so I can be
cleared to go in there as a health care professional. (It seems there are a
lot of retired high ranking military and someone that used to work for
Reagan when he was president living in there. No wonder they’re hot on
clearance.) At any rate, I put my ‘Be Back By…’ sign up, and went out to do
this. I was gone maybe 30 minutes. When I got back, I had a surprise.
July 13, 2005 (Part 1)
One
of the people I worked on yesterday was a Methodist minister. I found him
to be a very interesting person, and we had a wonderful conversation while I
worked.
July 12, 2005
After many weeks
of a person or two one day, and then no one the next one or two, I had a
busy day today.
July 11, 2005
I heard from
John’s daughter today. He seemed to be doing much better after the Reiki
session the other day.
July 10, 2005
Admittedly, I’m extremely left brained. I’m good at analysis (and used to
do that for a living), and like getting into technical things. Every now
and then I get fascinated by numbers, and thanks to the requirement for
national recertification, I have some very interesting numbers which show
some interesting trends.
July 9, 2005
I had an
interesting healing session today. I did an outcall to an assisted living
community to work on an 88 year old gentleman.
June 19, 2005
Well,
I just finished my second Reiki 1 class in as many days. Both classes were
fun and very rewarding.
June 13, 2005
I
worked on someone from out of town with massive rotator cuff damage in her
right shoulder. Although I see a lot of people that have shoulder problems,
I have not seen anyone with this much damage.
June 10, 2005
Well,
the first tropical storm of the season is headed up the Gulf toward
Florida. Already Mother Nature is starting take potshots at us. At the
same time, I took my first shot at moving a storm this season.
June 7, 2005
I got
a call from a friend of mine tonight. Her world was crashing, and she
desperately needed someone to talk to.
June 6, 2005
I had
an interesting thought today (yes, just one… one interesting thought, not
one thought). We can all be healers, and it doesn’t take any training at
all. Now, I know that most people are perplexed at my last statement. But
read on. Enlightenment comes to those who read.
June 4, 2005
I got
to talk with two people that were interested in class today.
May 27, 2005
I can remember many times over
the years where I was told that I wear my heart on my sleeve. It has also
been told to me that I wear my heart on my sleeve just waiting for somebody
to come along and knock it off. I never really did know what this meant,
and I tend to think that the person saying it didn’t know either as they
couldn’t define it for me. So, I decided to look it up.
May 24, 2005
I
have a friend in from out of town for a couple of days. Actually, she is
from out of the country. She has seen me do a number of things long
distance. Today she asked me to tell her what her emotions were.
May 20, 2005
I was
chatting with a friend online today when I had to make a trip south.
May 19, 2005
I did
a Reiki session today that ended up involving a lot of crystals.
May 14, 2005
Things finally worked out, and I had my first Reiki Share in a long, long
time.
May 11, 2005
As I
mentioned before, I seem to be back in the middle of the fight between Reiki
and massage. It seems things have changed, yet remain the same.
J
May 2, 2005
There
is this scene in the movie “The Wizard of Oz” where the main characters
(Dorothy, the Tin Man, the Scarecrow, and the Cowardly Lion) are in the
great hall and facing the wizard. There is this huge face at the far end of
the chamber with lots of fire and smoke coming out of places around it. For
some reason, Dorothy’s dog Toto starts looking around and finds this
curtain, which he promptly pulls open exposing a man pushing levers and
pulling chains. The wizard’s face tells the intrepid heroes to “Pay no
attention to that man behind the curtain.” There are times when I feel
exactly like that.
April 27, 2005
Ok, I
have to do it. I have to sound off about something. I have to ask… Why
are people so rude?
April 26, 2005
I had a call from one of the students that was
in my last class. She had felt that she really didn’t learn anything, and that
she didn’t “have it”. But then she went to use Reiki on someone in need, and
magic happened.
April 25, 2005
This came to me out of the blue at some point.
I think it is an interesting comment… Are things too troubling? Well, make
light of them. J
April 19, 2005
Well, I did it again. I opened my big mouth,
probably where I shouldn't have, but I did it anyway. Because of this, I now
find myself back in the middle of the fight over whether Reiki is massage or
not.
April 18, 2005
Awhile ago I was contacted by a massage student
to show her some things on Lomi Lomi massage. Through that contact I was led to
what I did today. Today, I talked to a massage class on Allied Modalities at
the north campus of Florida Community College at Jacksonville (FCCJ).
April 17, 2005
Because of what someone told me, I have started to schedule Reiki 1 classes
on a monthly basis.
April 16, 2005
I taught a Reiki 1 class today with three
students, and one helper.
April 14, 2005
Well,
my migraine fix didn’t last too long. Part of it has to do with what her
body is going through right now. The other, well I still don’t know.
April 12, 2005
Two
very interesting things happened today. I did more work on my 14-year old
client with migraines, and I did my first outcall since I opened the studio.
April 4, 2005
For a
while now, I have had a lot of people tell me that I needed to see the movie
“What the Bleep do We Know?”. Last night, I finally got around to seeing
it. It was neat seeing theoretical scientists as well as spiritual people
talking about perceptions of the world and how we can change things. The
concepts shown were very intriguing.
March 29, 2005
The
client whose daughter it is that I worked on for migraines gave gift
certificates to her parents for the holidays last year. They came in today.
March 27, 2005
Well,
here I was sitting on a boat in South Carolina when suddenly there was this
need for a healer.
March 21, 2005
I saw
in the news that there had been another school shooting. I have a question.
Why can’t society recognize the patterns that cause this and do something
about them? Why are we treating the symptoms and not the cause?
March 19, 2005
I've
talked a lot about the stresses I go through. Lately, I've been looking at
society and seeing the pressures it has been putting on people. Pressure
has been so bad that people more than ever are looking for ways to escape,
including suicide. So, the big question is... What do you do to escape?
March 18, 2005
Today
was an unusually busy day. In fact, my entire day was booked. I know I
keep saying that I need five sessions each week to be able to pay the bills,
and that has been happening at least for the last two weeks. (A client a
day keeps the bill collector away.)
J
March 16, 2005
I was
on the Myofascial Release e-mail board the other day when I read something
someone said that was extremely profound… Don’t just do something. Stand
there.
March 15, 2005
I
talked with the girl I worked on last week, the one whose migraine went away
when I worked on it.
March 14, 2005
I
heard an interesting statistic today. Actually, it was more disturbing than
it was interesting. For the first time, the suicide rate as passed the
murder rate. Wow. Now what does that say about our society?
March 13, 2005
I ask
my students to fill out a form at the end of each class (that is if I
remember) which rates the material and the instructor. It also asks for
more comments, and I seem to get the same one from some people – ‘the
classroom is too small’.
March 12, 2005
I
taught Reiki 2 today to two students. It was a fun class, but something
surprised me.
March 8, 2005
I
talked with the mother of the girl I worked on last night. I wanted to see
how she was doing.
March 7, 2005
I had
an awesome energy session tonight. It wasn’t meant to be an energy session,
but ended up that way.
March 3, 2005
During the first vortex trip, when our guide was telling me that something
in the class I would be taking would make me laugh. In fact she said it
reminded her of the Laughing Buddha. She suggested I might want to buy one
while I was in town. Well, I happened to run into one in a store, and did
just that. In the process, I was told a short story of the Laughing Buddha
by the store owner. I found it neat and thought I would pass it on.
February 28, 2005
So,
here’s the final recap. The show was great. I did some things that no one
expected.
February 27, 2005
Well,
I wrapped up the final day of the Health and Retirement show today, and I
did so much work that most of it is just a blur.
February 26, 2005
I had
another awesome day at the Health and Retirement show today. Although I
have not sold anything, I have scheduled a couple of appointments. But the
best part is doing the work.
February 25, 2005
Today
was the first day of the Health and Retirement Show at the Avenues Mall in
town here. All my fears and anxieties have been washed away. So, after
three hours of sleep last night, it was a spectacular day.
February 23, 2005
Well
I’ve been getting ready for the big show at the mall. I have hope and I
have fear.
February 20, 2005
While
I was in Sedona, I got my aura photographed. I had never had this done, and
have found it interesting.
February 18, 2005
Today was the trip home. It was
a long day, and somewhat difficult. I did it while being as completely shut
down as I could.
February 17, 2005
Been working energy overtime. It
seems that every turn up has a significant turn down. I was 20 minutes
outside of Phoenix when I got a call from my wife. She had news about the
dog.
February 15, 2005
One
more thing about the class that I find funny. Well, maybe I should say
interesting.
February 14, 2005
Our
plans changed constantly today, but we did manage to make it back to the
vortex. It turned out to be a very interesting day, and a very interesting
trip.
February 13, 2005
Today
was my last class in my myofascial release, and it gave us some surprises,
including some very frightening surprises. They say that all memory is
recorded in each cell of our bodies. After today's class, I truly believe
it.
February 12, 2005
Today
was my third day of class and the second day of rain. What is neat, yet
scary about rain here is that it doesn’t happen that often.
February 10, 2005
Today
was my first class in Myofascial Release training, and I’ve been totally
blown away. What has been shown and talked about has been so stunning and
contradictory that it has hit like a ton of bricks. But it makes perfect
sense. If you hadn’t figured it out yet, this is a teaching entry, but
don’t totally overlook it. If you read on, I think you will be as amazed as
I am.
February 9, 2005
We
went to a ‘Being Your On Psychic’ presentation at the resort tonight. A
psychic called JD gave a short talk. It was interesting.
February 8, 2005
I
have been stressed a lot lately, and the stress has started to lead to
depression. The next thing that happened sent me on a nose dive. Now, most
of you would expect me to end it there. But there was one more thing that
happened, and that turned my world upside down, which I think makes it right
side up now.
J
Please read on
February 7, 2005
Well,
quite a change from the last few days. My phone rang off the hook today.
February 6, 2005 (Part 2)
Well,
the Super Bowl had quite an impact on Jacksonville. Unfortunately, it
didn't have much impact on my business, or any other business out at the
beaches. In fact, it actually did the opposite of what we wanted it to do.
February 6, 2005 (Part 1)
We
had our first hike today up into the red rocks of Sedona. We were dealing
with a time schedule, although not a tight one, it did have some pressure on
us. We had chosen a hiking trail that was supposed to be about a mile to a
mile and a half, but I think we extended that a bit as we went from the
beginning of the trail up to Chicken Point.
February 4, 2005
My
sister in law and I arrived today in Sedona, Arizona. Following are the
usual types of observations, and one funny travel story.
February 3, 2005
Well, tomorrow I am Sedona bound. I'm really
looking forward to being there, as I enjoyed the last time I was there if only
for the day and a half that I was there. This time I'll be there for two weeks,
and while there I'm hoping to really mingle with the energies.
February 2, 2005
Well, so much for getting a huge influx of
people because of the Super Bowl. Yesterday I spent my entire day dictating
journal entries, and today looks like I'll be doing the same thing.
J
January 31, 2005
I had three bodies today. This is the most I've
had in one day in my shop since the shop opened. It doesn't quite match the six
I did in a day when I was back in school, but it's a good start.
January, 30, 2005 (Part 2)
At the very end of class today, a strange thing
happened. I got a phone call that sounded like it could be something else, and
turned out to be something else from want it sounded like. If you want a laugh,
read more.
January 30, 2005 (Part 1)
I taught Reiki 1 today to a new student and it
was quite interesting how things went.
January 29, 2005
I did two massages today which is unusual for
Saturday.
January 27, 2005
One of my clients today was the massage therapist that works down the street
from me. He has been here several times now, and obviously likes the work I
do. See so like working on people, this makes it a win-win situation.
January 26, 2005
It was almost exactly a week ago, I had a very
strange dream that involved me driving off the edge of a bridge. Interestingly
enough, this morning I got an e-mail from my friend in Ireland. Terri wanted to
know if I was okay. It seems, she had had a strange dream last night, and was
concerned for my well-being.
January 25, 2005
Ups
and downs. Ups and downs. I really wish I could find my way off this
roller coaster. Did anyone see the exit the last time we went past?
January 24, 2005
I
just had a very good energy session. I had a young lady in for a chakra
balancing. Yes, that’s right. She knew before coming in here that she
needed a chakra balancing.
January 22, 2005
I
taught Reiki 3 today to (strangely enough) three students. Between the
three of them and my friend and student and Reiki Master, John, we had a fun
time.
January 21, 2005
The
other day, I had been talking to my landlord's assistant, when she told me
she was having neck problems. My first words, of course, were "get on the
table".
January 20, 2005 (Part 2)
Well
it finally happened. I finally got something that I have been waiting
almost year to get. I got rubbed.
January 20, 2005 (Part 1)
I wanted to get
this down before I forgot it. I had a dream last night, closer to
nightmare, but still a dream. It's one of those dreams that make you wake
up shaking, or should.
January 19, 2005
In my
business, I sell gift certificates. My gift certificates are valid for six
months from the date of purchase, and as most gift certificate sales go,
some of them come in, and some of them don't. Sometimes these gift
certificates change hands a time or two before actually getting into the
hands of a person that actually brings it into the shop for a session,
however, I don't think I've ever had one go this particular route.
January 12, 2005
Manifestations. What do we think of when we think about manifestations? Do
we think of ghosts and goblins appearing out of the woodwork to come get
us? Do we think about some evil manifesting itself into the real world and
causing problems? Why must a manifestation always be evil?
January 11, 2005
A
couple of years ago, I talked about masks. We all wear different masks at
different times, and change them in and out based on our needs. We have the
mask we wear at work, the mask we wear when we're out with friends, even the
mask we wear when we're at home by ourselves. But, is there a mask we wear
to hide from ourselves?
January 10, 2005
It
has been about three weeks now, and I am slowly realizing the shock and awe
of what has happened. We'll hear about natural disasters causing problems,
killing people, disrupting daily lives. And we look at it and wonder and
feel concerned. Usually though, it is something that happens on a smaller
scale, such as massive rainstorms, snowfall, ice, or various other local
happenings to various areas. The surprise and devastation that the tsunami
caused is almost unbelievable.
December 29, 2004
I get
e-mails from lots of sources asking me to merge with a massive group
consciousness by taking a moment at a certain time and date, and sending
energy for a particular cause. Usually, it's a noble idea, but in
actuality, it's not an easy thing to do. I think I've come up with a way of
doing something similar that will be independent of time and date done, and
only take a few seconds of your time. So, if you want to help the greater
consciousness, continue reading.
December 19, 2004
Well
I did it again. I went out holiday shopping.
December 18, 2004
I was in a store
today, and there was child crying. What happened next was actually quite
amusing.
December 10, 2004
I had something funny happen today. Two
representatives form the phone company stopped by to show me how I could
save money by adding more services. While we were there signing the papers,
we got to talking about other things, including “what is Reiki?”
December 5, 2004
Moving forward. What is involved with moving forward? Well, I think a good
part of it has to do with letting go. Now, what is involved with letting go?
December 4, 2004
What do you believe in? How rooted are you in your beliefs? Are you willing
to change them? No? What if you are given information that contradicts your
beliefs? No? What if that information is irrefutable? I guess the real
question is “Are we willing to learn, and change based on new information?”
December 3, 2004
After putting up the history information I found in William Rand’s book, I
found a letter on his site (www.Reiki.org)
that was written by a Reiki master that had been promoted by Phyllis Furumoto
(and paid $10,000 for the privilege). She was there shortly after Takata died,
and when Furumoto decided that she would follow in her grandmother’s footsteps
and be the head of Reiki. (Based on the previous history, we know that Takata
was not the head of Reiki. This was only something she maintained.) What this
reveals is an extremely interesting look at the current mindset at the supposed
leadership of Reiki.
December 2, 2004
Well, I had to come back to it one more time. I wrote the International
Center for Reiki Healing, William Rand’s organization, with questions about
attunements and where the Reiki is turned on. I got a response from Jan, which
clarifies a lot of things.
December 1, 2004
I got a call today to do a massage. It was kind of interesting.
November 29, 2004
I’m going to tackle this one more time. I say that everyone has the ability
to do Reiki, and can learn to do it without having an attunement. Most, if not
all other Reiki masters will tell you differently. Well, I have a couple places
in William Rand’s book I want to point out to you.
J
November 28, 2004
I have been reading “Reiki, The Healing Touch” by William Rand. This book
was lent to me by one of my students, and has been quite an eye-opener,
especially where the Reiki history is concerned. What we have learned so far is
more like the Reiki myth than history. I will be updating the history section
of this site as soon as I can, but in the meantime, I think you might find this
information very interesting.
November 24, 2004
I did a massage today. The story of how this came about is pretty
interesting.
November 23, 2004
I had a person walk in off the street today looking for a massage. I got to
use a lot of the new toys.
J
November 22, 2004
I just finished the advanced Lomi Lomi class in
Plantation, Florida. It was a fun, yet intense class as there was a lot to
learn.
November 10, 2004
Well, I’m now keeping score.
J
With the last set of classes, I started handing out a form to let the
students grade me. The scoring and the comments have been most interesting and
appreciated.
November 8, 2004
One of my students has been having a lot of questions, and has been doing
huge amount of research to try to answer those questions.
A lot of what she has been finding has contradicted other things she has
found. She came down to questions
about attunements and hand positions.
Those
questions she asked me, and I responded with the following…
November 6, 2004
For a while now, I have been seeing and hearing about online classes that
teach Reiki. I find the concept
very interesting, yet scary.
November 5, 2004
What are other Reiki teachers teaching?
Do they really know what they’re doing?
Are they really teaching with the student in mind?
How about healing?
Or is it
all for money? Ok, it’s rant time
again. But don’t go away, I think
you will find some useful tips on finding a teacher after I’m done screaming.
J
November 3, 2004
Last night, something came to me. It was a stroke of brilliance, so I know it didn’t
originate from me.
J
What came to me was a short thought on the learning process, or how one
learns.
October 30, 2004
I taught my
first Reiki 3 class for CEUs today. It went quite well.
October 27, 2004
Well, I’m going
out on a limb now. In fact it’s a very long, very thin limb. I’m going to
talk about God. Or to put it better, I’m going to talk about theories on
God, or Gods, and Goddesses, and more. Now before you start making the sign
of the cross, or tracing hexes on your computer screen, read on. You might
actually find some of this interesting.
October 24, 2004
It has been a
pretty good last two days. I have taught two Reiki 1 classes, and done
three massages.
October 21, 2004
What’s bugging
you? No, really. What’s bugging you? Is it… is it… is it bugs??!! Ok,
here’s another Kay-ism.
October 20, 2004
We talked about intention.
What about focus? How focused are you when it comes to doing a task?
October 19, 2004
Intention. I
know I’ve talked about intent/intention before, but it is something that
bears repeating.
October 18, 2004
About a week
ago, I mentioned a friend that had been attacked, and how I talked with her
into the wee hours of the morning. One thing I didn’t mention was that when
I was with her some time ago, I did massage on her.
October 17, 2004
One more word on Christopher
Reeve.
October 16, 2004
I’m starting to
go through a bout of depression. Sitting in the shop for five days straight
with no customers will do that. Then missing one customer by missing a
phone call by less than five minutes, well that just set it off. It’s got
me thinking about levels of vibration and how they affect us, or we them.
October 14, 2004
Miracles do happen. Truly.
I talked with two of my students yesterday, and each told me a story of
doing Reiki not long after their class. And the results were amazing.
October 13, 2004
I got two
pieces of mail yesterday. Between the two of them, they say something.
October 12, 2004
Free will of
the soul. What is it? Well, it’s the soul’s ability to make decisions for
the good or the bad. What can we do about it? Nothing.
October 11, 2004
This entry is
going to be a change over what I usually write in here. I was told this
morning of the death of actor Christopher Reeve. Saddened as I am by the
news, I see his life being a lesson here for everyone whether they are
lightworkers or not. But it is truly a lesson for those that are.
October 10, 2004
A few years
ago, a friend showed me how to sense other’s emotions and mental state. I
used it now and then after I learned, but then eased off. Lately, I have
been doing it quite a bit more.
October 9, 2004
Well, classes
are coming together again. I just set a date for a Reiki 1 class, and I
suddenly have two students.
October 8, 2004
I’ve decided
that since I don’t do technical work anymore, I’m becoming addle-brained.
Ok, so some of you are asking questions like “what do you mean becoming?”
October 7, 2004
Something new
happened tonight. I got hit by a walk in Sage-ing.
J
October 6, 2004
Well, I’m
really tired today. It probably has something to do with being online and
on the phone until 2am this morning.
J
I have a friend that needed someone to talk to, and I was it.
October 4, 2004
One of my
clients/students was in this evening for some training. Every now and then,
she picks up information from her guides and passes that along to the people
that need to hear it. Tonight, the message was for me, and it dealt with
storms.
October 3, 2004
I have said
that it is scary how organized I am with the business. Here’s another
example… For some time now, I have been tracking new business. This is so
I know what is bringing people into the shop, so I can continue to put the
advertising where it will do the most good.
October 2, 2004
I taught Reiki
1 to four students today, and it was a wonderful time.
October 1, 2004
I had a client
come in today that wanted REAL DEEP pressure in their massage. OK, now,
where did I put that steam roller?
September 27, 2004
I traveled home
today from Plantation. Although there wasn’t a lot of damage from the
hurricane along I-95, there was enough to give one an idea of how
devastating the storm was.
September 26, 2004
I just finished
a class in Lomi Lomi massage in Plantation, Florida (near Ft. Lauderdale).
I found it to be a very neat style with a huge range of pressure settings.
September 25, 2004
Well, I am now
in Plantation, Florida, just outside of Ft. Lauderdale. The drive down here
yesterday was pleasant, but I was concerned as there is a hurricane hitting
nearby that could have hit here.
September 20, 2004
To meddle, or
not to meddle? That is the question. There is an old saying… Do not
meddle in the affairs of wizards, for they are quick to anger, and have no
need for subtlety.
September 19, 2004
One more word
on weather (whether you want to hear it or not)… (This is a story Kay had
told.)
September 18, 2004
A couple nights
ago, I was working with Scott to help him remove a self-created block that
kept him from seeing the dark entities around him. He felt that if he
couldn’t see them, he wouldn’t be afraid (and the fear would draw them in).
(Now, I wouldn’t make comments about that being ostrich-like in nature… or…
would I?) What happened afterward led to an interesting discussion which,
with a day’s passing turned his skepticism turn into true belief.
September 16, 2004
I have had
strange, frightening dreams the last two nights. The fact that the weather
is doing what it is, and we are trying to fight off the coming storms, just
has not helped.
September 14, 2004
I was having an
interesting conversation with my client during her massage yesterday. She
was asking questions about the things that are in this journal. She was
talking about some of the things I had done that are recorded here, like the
healings, the ghostbusting, projection to other people to help them. Then
she said something along the lines of “You’ve done a lot of wonderful,
helpful things. Aren’t you proud of what you have done?” I stopped for a
second. Proud? No. Absolutely not! That’s the last bloody thing I want
to be!
September 13, 2004
Today, I did
two massages and a Reiki session. Both the massages went well, and the
Reiki session was just great. And as unexpected, the second massage person
tells the lady waiting for her Reiki session just how wonderful I am .
::shaking head as I look at the bar – way up there::
September 11, 2004
This is getting
ridiculous. I always do my best work, but now I’m trying to meet everyone’s
hyped expectations.
September 10, 2004
I did two
massages today, both on people who had seen my sign while driving down the
street. Cool.
September 8, 2004
All right, I
guess it’s time to talk about storms and super storms and dark entities and
so forth.
September 7, 2004
I thought I had
done this before, but I can’t find anything in my journal that deals
specifically with earth changes. I know I have mentioned them here and
there, but I thought I had dedicated one entry to it. Apparently not. So,
I guess it’s time for that.
September 6, 2004
Yesterday was
by far our worst day with hurricane Frances. But we’re still here and in
one piece.
September 5, 2004
Well, the
hurricane hit land yesterday, down in Vero Beach. Thankfully, the strength
of it had changed from a category 4 to a category 2, then a category 1. I
firmly believe that the group I had contacted was responsible for that.
September 4, 2004
Usually (at
least lately), I write these journal entries a few days before I do a
‘release’, so I am writing about things in the past. Keep that in mind as I
say the following. A lot has happened over the last several days, which
will be recounted in the next few day’s entries. It all started with a
hurricane named Frances.
September 3, 2004
Well, good news has happened. I made rent, and most of
the expenses.
September 2, 2004
As the storm
gets closer, I keep watching the weather channel, and pushing at the storm.
September 1, 2004
Well, now I’ve seen it all. Uhh, well, maybe not. Would
you believe that a storm could be controlled by something dark?
August 31, 2004
Well, I did an
interesting thing last night, prompted by a friend’s e-mail. I
e-mailed several people to get them to be a (sort of) storm steering
committee.
August 30, 2004
Well, it is
happening again. Another hurricane is headed toward Florida. This time it
is aimed at Vero Beach, where a friend lives.
August 29, 2004
It has been a
spectacular weekend teaching.
August 27, 2004
I had an
interesting thing happen. The other day, I worked on a client that came in
because she was passing by and had gotten overbooked by the person she was
seeing (another field). Last night, she called me and told me of all the
pain she had been in the evening after I worked on her, and how much she was
still hurting. I sat there with my mouth hanging open for a bit, but once
it snapped shut, I started thinking and asking questions.
August 26, 2004
Intuition. Is it psychic
ability? Is it a special something only some people get? Or is it just
noticing when things happen, that reading of the energy waves, and believing
it?
August 25, 2004
I had a nice
surprise this morning. I opened up the studio, and had someone walk in
asking for a massage. Neat.
August 24, 2004
Well, I’m excited. I just
got a call from two of my Reiki 1 students from this spring. They are
coming to the Reiki 2 class Sunday.
August 23, 2004
Last weekend,
we had a Reiki 1 class under the threat of a hurricane. I just heard from
my student-to-be in Orlando. She didn’t come up as the storm was said to be
going directly there. It wasn’t until today that I had half a clue about
the damage it caused there.
August 21, 2004
Well it
happened again. Jessica took another Reiki course.
August 18, 2004
I got a call
today from someone asking about a Reiki class. She said that she had been
thinking about learning Reiki for some time, but had just not made the
effort to look for someone. What made her decide to do it now, and with me,
was a phone call she had received from her friend, Debra… in Washington, DC.
August 14, 2004
Steering a
hurricane. Interesting idea. Here’s how it went.
August 13, 2004
Today, I taught Reiki 1.
The number of students that were to be attending kept going up and down.
And then there was this minor occurrence called hurricane Charley.
August 12, 2004
Reiki classes.
All of a sudden, I have potential students appearing out of nowhere.
August 10, 2004
Well I think
I’m finally decided on continuing education. I’m looking at Lomi Lomi and
Myofascial. Neat stuff.
August 3, 2004
The massage
business has been slow. Last month I barely made rent, but did not make
other expenses. It looks like this month is starting out the same way, with
one difference… I’m getting a lot of calls for classes.
August 1, 2004
Jessica went to
work today, and told the people there about her class. This of course
prompted people to be asking her to work on them.
July 31, 2004
I have a friend
in Ft. Lauderdale that I have never met, but talked with frequently. She is
very sensitive and very powerful as far as energy goes. I have taught her a
few things over the phone and internet. During one of these conversations,
I told her about Reiki. Well, today, she took a Reiki 1 class, and was very
impressed.
July 30, 2004
The lady that I
had such an interesting time doing massage on, on the 17th, came
back today. This was neat because she had been searching for a therapist,
and her last one had hurt her. She told me that she felt sore for two days
afterwards. She said that with all I pounded her on her last visit, she
hadn’t felt sore at all. Cool. Well, that is what I aim for. This time,
she had some of the same problems, but had some new ones that came down to
energy.
July 17, 2004
I had an interesting massage
session today. One of the two ladies I worked on had some interesting
problems, and it came down to some interesting solutions.
July 15, 2004
I’ve been rereading the posts that I’ve written over the
last several days. Most of them seem to have a similar theme… Balance. A few
have other points, like believing and not fearing. Or controlling emotions to
remain in… uhh… balance.
July 14, 2004
I had two interesting things happen today. The first was
an Instant Messenger (IM) chat with someone in the UK. The second was an IM
chat with a friend of mine that was short, but it said a lot.
July 10, 2004
Rollercoasters. Do you like rollercoasters? I like
rollercoasters. They start at a mid point, and then they climb up. Then
suddenly, they go down, and the up, and then down again. I like to watch them.
I don’t like to ride them. So, why do I?
July 9, 2004
I had an e-mail
today by a former student of Kay’s. It was really great to hear from her,
but the circumstances of how it got here are quite interesting.
July 8, 2004
I wanted to let you all know that I have been having
problems with my e-mail system. The problem could cause me to lose e-mail from
anyone mailing me. The problem could cause me to not reply to questions about
classes or any services. The problem is… SPAM. Yes, it’s a rant, and it’s not
about the product by Hormel.
July 4, 2004
I have to get this down before too much of it fades away.
I can still see the images, and the faces. And they are frightening.
June 28, 2004
I had a friend of mine looked at my energies the other day
and told me that my third chakra was cold. The third chakra is the one that
deals with thinking.
June 27, 2004
What is the trick? Are there so many mundane people on
this planet that don’t feel anything around them. Are so many people so focused
or just so blind?
June 26, 2004
I went down to Orlando today to walk through the dealer’s
room… er… exhibitor’s hall (they only call them dealers rooms at science fiction
conventions) at the Florida State Massage Therapy (FSMTA) convention. I must
have misplaced the registration form that supposedly came in April, so I really
couldn’t go to the other functions. The dealer’s room was interesting, and I
got some good bargains.
June 25, 2004
Welcome to Fantasy Island. Uhh.. No. Before some short
person jumps out and announces the arrival of some aircraft, I think I’d better
do more in explanation.
June 24, 2004
I had a call from a lady in Washington DC today trying to
locate my teacher, Kay. This is the second time in a couple of weeks now.
June 23, 2004
Give me strength. Really. Put some in a bottle, send it
through the air, just empower me. Uh-huh. Why should I be dependent on you to
be empowered? Shouldn’t I be able to empower myself? Exactly.
June 22, 2004
I did a blindfolded massage today. This is where the
subject can’t see what I’m doing. Just kidding.
June 21, 2004
We’ve talked a
lot about light and dark, about good and evil. But what makes them good and
evil? What about truth and lies, honesty and dishonesty?
June 20, 2004
Okay. I've
waited long enough. I feel I need to sound off again. I don't do this very
often (uh huh, right). So, maybe I do, but it's still time to do it again.
June 19, 2004
We all have
insights into various things. These insights usually come from questions
being asked, or formulated. Some come from unique places, like the music
one listens to.
June 18, 2004
Interestingly
enough, I’ve made rent and expenses for June now, although I haven’t done
enough work to do so.
June 12, 2004
I taught Reiki
1 today, and during that time something uniquely interesting happened.
June 10, 2004
A friend of
mine came over today, and I got re-attuned.
June 5, 2004
My wife and I
helped a friend move from one apartment to another today. Now, just looking
at it, that doesn’t seem to belong in a journal that deals with energies.
Well, read on.
June 1, 2004
I’m impressed.
I made rent and other expenses for May.
May 29, 2004
Mind over
matter. We’ve heard that term forever, but usually as the butt end of some
joke. Mind over matter. Yes, in most cases, my mind doesn’t matter. See?
Mind over matter. This is the ability to convince oneself, or empower
oneself to do things that are above the ordinary simply by concentrating.
May 28, 2004
Try not. Do.
Or do not. There is no try. All right, I’ve used this phrase a lot.
Spoken by the character Yoda, it is one of my favorite quotes from the Star
Wars movie series. In fact it’s right up there with “Flying through
hyperspace ain’t like dustin’ crops.”
J
However, the first one is very motivational. But, what the hell is that
little green fella talking about?
May 25, 2004
It was a very
strange night talking with Jessica on Instant Messenger (IM). All of a
sudden she told me that I needed to teach her something. My mind did its
usual thing, it went blank.
May 17, 2004
I had an unusual confirmation today. It’s nice
to get confirmations. They happen so infrequently.
May 16, 2004
For a few years
now, I’ve been working on meditations to be put on CD.
May 15, 2004
Well this night
turned out to be interesting. I did a channeling session out of the blue.
I got a call tonight from a lady that had gotten a reading from Kaimora one
time when she was in Maine. Her husband had recently lost his job, and she
wished Kay were around to give her some guidance, and surprisingly enough,
she was.
May 14, 2004
I finally
talked with Dante tonight, and (thankfully) things are ok.
May 11, 2004
Tonight, I had
a client that has a lot of problems, and he's come to me for help.
Something has drawn him to me. As I have said over the years, there are no
accidents. Now, I only hope to be able to give him the help he needs.
May 9, 2004
Someone I used
to work with came in for bodywork today. She was in great need.
May 8, 2004
I had a very
interesting day today. I did chair massage at a church as part of a fair
they were doing. And the beauty is that this was arranged two days ago.
May 4, 2004
It’s been a few
nights since I last talked to Dante. I saw him online tonight and asked how
things have been. The news was not good.
May 1, 2004
This started
out to be a slow day, but the last hour of the night has turned out to be
very interesting, interesting indeed. That’s when I had to go to Virginia
and move a dark entity from someone’s house.
April 22, 2004
I worked on my
neighbor last night, and there is a funny story that goes along with this.
April 21, 2004
Now that the
studio is finally open full time, I have actually been doing some massages,
and it’s great.
April 18, 2004
This past
Friday and Saturday, I had Open House at my shop. It wasn’t what I hoped
for, but wasn’t a complete disappointment either.
April 15, 2004
With the studio
fully open, I have been doing some massage sessions, and, you know, it feels
real good.
April 5, 2004
Something we have surely heard before is 'be careful what you wish for'.
This warning suggests that there is a possibility that you might actually
get what you wish for and all the unexpected or
unplanned consequences. And there
are reasons for the warning. Recently, I ran into another take on the same
thing which says 'Be careful what you wish for, as you're doomed to not want
it once you have it'.
April 1, 2004
Light and
dark. Light and dark. Day and night. Ok, let’s talk about light and
dark. The series of questions and ensuing conversation at the workshop I
did brought up some interesting thoughts. (And I’ve decided to write them
on April Fool’s Day.)
March 31, 2004
Tonight, I gave
a class (workshop) on energy at a Unitarian church. I called it ‘Working
With Energies’, or ‘Using the Force 101’. I had about 10 students, and the
class went really well.
March 30, 2004
Someone sent me
an e-mail the other day that had a profound statement in it… If you’re not
failing, you’re not learning.
March 26, 2004
Well, it’s now
official. I have all the licensing I need to open my studio fully (Reiki
and massage).
March 20, 2004
A friend came
in today and helped me do the final cleaning of the shop (er... studio). It
was a good session, even before the smoke cleared.
J
March 14, 2004
I did my first Reiki session at
the shop today.
March 13, 2004
I taught Reiki 1 today, which was
the first class taught in my studio.
March 12, 2004
Well the studio has been smudged, blasted with
white light and shielded. I guess it’s ready for visitors.
March 11, 2004
The state Board of Heath was just
at my shop to inspect it. I passed.
March 9, 2004
Over the last two days, I have been through the
cleansing exercises given by a friend.
March 5, 2004
I was talking with Dante online
tonight. He was telling me about something evil after him.
March 4, 2004
Ok, so let’s talk about dark
entities. In the three and a half years that I’ve been doing this journal,
I’ve focused on the positive aspects of energy work and healing. I’ve
stayed away from the things that go bump in the night, and the ooga-booga
things that could bite you in the ass if you aren’t very, very careful.
This was done mostly because I didn’t want to scare anyone to the point that
they started putting garlic on all the doors into their homes.
March 3, 2004
Recognizing patterns is something
I do from time to time. Sometimes I don’t recognize it until too late
though.
March 2, 2004
I just lost, or should I say,
walked away from a friend yesterday. I would have preferred not to have
preferred that this not have happened, especially since I don’t make friends
real easily, but it had to. Most that I do make friends with, stay friends
for as long time. The fact that I lost a very good friend this year
(through death) makes this harder.
March 1, 2004
As of today, my shop is licensed
for Reiki.
February 26, 2004
I have been learning a lot
about having a shop. It’s a lot of hard work. There’s special laws that
need to be followed. And government moves in bizarre ways.
February 25, 2004
I have to apologize for the
great amount of time that has passed since my last series of postings.
February 14, 2004
I did my first pre-natal massage today. I
trained a whole night in massage school for that. So, I was really ready.
Uhh, yeah. Right.
February 2, 2004
A few
weeks ago, I was down in south Florida doing healing work. Some things went
very, very well, but some things went very, very wrong.
December 9, 2003
I
came to a decision the other day. I decided that I would stop separating my
two major pieces of business.
December 8, 2003
I
have to apologize to those that look forward to the posting of these
entries.
December 7, 2003
I did my eighth hot stone massage today. I
now need two more to get my certification.
December 6, 2003
I
have done so much traveling lately, I feel like I need to be surgically
unattached from my car seat. But while I was in it, I did some interesting
energy work.
December 5, 2003
I have
suspected for some time that there is something watching out for me. Aside
from the trip out of town, and as silly as the circumstance sounds, I know
now for sure.
December 4, 2003
I
have had a lot of moving experiences lately.
J
December 3, 2003
Well, it has definitely been an interesting couple of days. I traveled out
of town to visit a friend and do some bodywork. Between yesterday and
today, I have done three bodies, cleared away three evil entities, and did
some massive energy work. Just another normal weekend, NOT!
November 22, 2003
I’ve talked
many times before about shielding against negative energies. What about
shielding against positive energies?
November 19, 2003
I was at a meeting tonight, and heard
from several people about the person I worked on the other night.
November 12, 2003
A friend had gotten a request for help
from someone she knows. This person claimed to be blocked and was looking
for someone who could help her. She told my friend that she understood
Reiki, and needed something more than a Reiki master. I think she got what
she was looking for.
November 5, 2003
When my wife was in Boston, Massachusetts on
business, she took a day trip to Salem. She brought back two t-shirts for me.
I've found that one of them has been very appropriate. It says 'Out of Body - Back
in 5 Minutes'. For two days now, I have felt like I am not all here, out of
body. I'm just starting to wonder when I'll be back.
November 4, 2003
A couple days
ago, I told about a dream that showed me being ill, and getting better. It
took the realizations that I was ill to make me realize I was getting
better. But how many others out there are ill? How many are in situations
that are making them ill without realizing it?
November 1, 2003
I believe that I have had my revelation. It
came in a dream, and took my wife to interpret it.
October 25, 2003
I was given an interesting tidbit of information
today. I love the way the universe has its own way of validating things.
October 24, 2003
Now it is getting interesting. On my way to my
soon-to-be-over day job, I tried calling a friend on my cell phone. There was a
lot of static, and noise. I tried a couple more times, and I actually made a
connection, but couldn't hear past the noise. I eventually gave up. I just
figured that my service was having a problem, and took a moment to curse my
provider. J
October 23, 2003
I was talking with Acaysha tonight, and mentioned my dream the other night.
She passed on information from her angels.
October 22, 2003
I got to talk about Reiki tonight to a group of
Pagans (not related to the motorcycle gang). Now, you may be wondering the same
thing my coworker did when I told her. She commented that it seemed that this
was a contradiction in ideas. Well, that is not true.
October 21, 2003
I had a very strange dream last night. And no,
this is not related to my last one about solar flares. In fact if you are
reading this at all, it is because it turned out good. If not, it wouldn't be
here at all, and I am typing for my own amusement.
J
October 20, 2003
I was talking with Acaysha, and
mentioned to her about my dream the other night, the one about sunspots.
October 17, 2003
I woke up having a strange dream, but then
again, yes all of my dreams are strange. I was flying in a starship (no, not
that starship), and I was watching unusual sun activity. I was watching
sunspots and solar flares emerge from the sun (or whatever star it was). I also
knew that they would cause problems for the planet, whatever planet it was, but
believe it was earth.
October 10, 2003
Well, we've talked about pulling in energy from various location to do various
things. Usually , this is for
shielding or some other energy work.
But,
why not just do it for strength, like to make yourself stronger for a moment?
October 8, 2003
A friend and I were talking about holes in our lives, what we do to create them,
and how we refill them. Hmm, anyone
have a shovel?
October 7, 2003
In the words of Charlie Brown, "good grief."
(And no, I'm not starting a habit of quoting cartoon characters.
I like quoting live beings, especially if they're three feet tall and
carry a lightsaber.) But, I guess grief isn't good, nor bad, it just is.
October 6, 2003
As I write this entry, it has only
been a few hours. It is hard to
keep my eyes focused on what I type, but I need to do it now.
A little over 21 years ago, a small four legged soul came into our
lives. She brought with her joy,
sorrow, lots of love, and a feistiness that stayed with her up until she moved
on this morning.
September 29, 2003
I got an e-mail from a contact in New
England today. It had to do with
her husband's broken leg, or rather healed leg.
September 28, 2003
Today was a very interesting day.
I did two healings in Lake City on my way back from Gainesville.
September 27, 2003
We had (what I felt) was a very good workshop today, which marked a good start
as it was my first time. I was a
little disappointed that there were only 10 people attending, including a couple
that I was hoping to see again, but it was fun.
I titled the workshop 'Feeling and Using Energies' or 'Using the Force
101'.
September 19, 2003
One thing Kay taught us a long time ago was about protecting one's home,
energetically. I think its time to
pass it on here.
September 18, 2003
Fate.
Predestination.
The universe. Maybe even God. Basically,
things move in strange ways. Sometimes
we move ahead because we study, and learn, and climb, and claw our way ahead.
Other times, we need to be kicked in the ass (pardon my French) to take
that step that gets us going in the right direction.
September 13, 2003
For a while now, I have been finding it hard to calm.
This has to do with the stress from my job as we enter the football
season (I work for a football team).
But,
I found it very strange that there is one place that I can feel very calm, and
pull calming down through me. This
is when I exercise.
September 11, 2003
I had a call this morning from a friend who had gotten bad news about her
grandfather.
September 2, 2003
I had a reading tonight as I was
starting to accumulate questions based on my last reading and some things that
have been happening. Readings are
always interesting, and they come up with the most fun things.
September 1, 2003
One of my students asked a question
that I have never been asked, yet, it made perfect sense to ask it.
I had to think about the answer, but I finally did come up with one,
and according to James, the right one.
J
August 31, 2003
James told me a very neat story
yesterday about an impromptu healing he did.
August 27, 2003
We do shielding to protect ourselves, but from what?
Mostly, we shield from negative energies, but why not other things?
August 24, 2003
I'm ready now.
It's time, time to
start moving forward, time to turn on that transmitter and broadcast this to the
universe.
August 22, 2003
So, who believes in miracles?
Do
miracles happen? If they do, why
don't they happen to us? Is it
because we don't notice, or because we don't let them happen?
August 21, 2003
With all the 'newer', more powerful diseases that have appeared in the past
decade or two, you'd think that medical science would have found a cure to
cancer by now. I mean with Ebola
and AIDS, cancer should be a nothing when compared to them.
Why isn't there a cure?
Maybe
the people trying to come up with a cure don't have faith.
August 20, 2003
I was talking with one of my students tonight just to tell her about the e-mail
I had sent off. During the
conversation, I mentioned that I would be having a Reiki 3 class before too, too
long. She told me that both her,
and her sister have already been attuned by another teacher.
August 19, 2003
Well, the date has been set.
Finally. I am holding my first out of town workshop at the end of next
month, September 27th to be exact.
Thanks to the help and prodding of Dee Mitchell, I will be giving a
workshop on energy in Gainesville, Florida.
August 18, 2003
Ok, the panic is over, at least for the most part.
I should now be discovering time.
Time?
What is that?
August 6, 2003
Keeping up a journal and web site is
harder than I thought, especially when dealing with outside links.
August 5, 2003
I had a nice surprise this evening.
I
got a phone call from each of my students that I taught on Sunday.
August 4, 2003
Well, it finally happened.
I raised
my prices… on some things.
August 3, 2003
Remember last week I talked about
getting a call for someone to come meet me and see if my energies would work
with theirs? Well, that led to a
Reiki 1 class today.
July 29, 2003
There was a post on ReikiAloha not too
long ago that talked about being humble.
The poster worked with someone that had said he was humble, and the
poster didn't think it was a jest.
Ooook.
Isn't that a contradiction in terms?
July 28, 2003
I had an interesting call tonight.
The lady that called was looking to take classes if she felt my
energies would mesh with hers.
July 27, 2003
Today, I was supposed to be picking up
my recordings from yesterday, and returning home from Port St. Lucie.
Since however John told me he had been asked to fill in for a
performance yesterday evening, and wouldn't be able to finish the CDs, I came
back last night so I could attend a funeral (well, ceremony actually).
July 26, 2003
I had my first real recording session
today, and then met someone from where I live that was taking a class from
Acaysha. It was very interesting.
July 25, 2003
I drove down to Port St. Lucie tonight
(or as Acaysha calls it, Port St. Lousy) to spend some time in a recording
studio. This is to record my
voice tracks for my meditation CDs.
As
I got there tonight, I stopped at Acaysha's to visit for a bit, and while
there had a reading from her friend Kathie Jo.
July 22, 2003
For a while now, one of my friends has
been suffering with cancer. I got
word this morning that he died.
July 20, 2003
Today,
I did my first 'psychic reading', or actually channeling session for someone
else. This was very, very,
interesting as I've never done this before, at least not for anyone out of the
blue.
July 19, 2003
I taught a Reiki 2 class today to two
students. I was supposed to have
five, but it got paired down again.
One
concern was that one of the ones that didn't make it was someone who needed
this and the next class for CEUs. Since
any attempt to contact her has not been successful, I will have to let it
pass, and know that she is taking care of her own needs.
July 1, 2003
I just completed two nights of Reiki
1. I had one student who was
doing a lot of natural healing beforehand.
June 29, 2003
I did an outcall massage today up at
Amelia Island. For those not in
this area, Amelia Island is a very nice vacation place for those that have
money. To say the least, my
appointment was at the Ritz Carlton hotel.
June 21, 2003
I gave my first Reiki 1 class today
where CEUs were involved. I had
four students (there were supposed to be six). Two are massage therapists, and (obviously) two were not.
Of the therapists, one is Melanie, the person I go to (and we are
dealing with partial barter), and the other was from Orlando.
June 4, 2003
I did a Reiki session last night, but in doing this, I found out more about
myself than anything else.
May 30, 2003
It was a very neat time at the Reiki
conference this last weekend, but it was strange as well.
Well, it is always strange with me because I am strange, but this was a
little different.
May 29, 2003
As I mentioned in an earlier post, one of the things I leaned to help me with my
massage boards was to draw the meridian clock.
Meridians are energy pathways that run through the body.
Each meridian has several points that have specific functions.
By releasing Chi from various points, the body can be ‘adjusted’ and
brought back to full health. The
clock is a good way to relate the meridians with the times Chi passes through
each one, as well as the elements, the seasons, and the Yin and Yang.
May 28, 2003
A little while ago, I got off the phone with my
friend, Jan, in Maryland that has cancer.
Three weeks ago, when I was there, I worked on him.
He really liked the session.
He
said that had made him feel more relaxed than he had in a long time.
He was amazed at the heat coming from my hands. Two
days after I saw him, he got suddenly worse.
May 26, 2003
After having slept a good portion of the day, and then doing some chores, I
decided to check my e-mail. I got
into an IM conversation with my friend, Amy, who was in an IM conversation with
someone asking about blocked chakras.
May 25, 2003
Reiki Conference – Day 3, This day turned out to
be almost more eventful than yesterday, although it was to be a short day.
I started out by talking with the person I had worked on last night.
She told me that she felt whole again, something she had not felt in
years. Cool.
I hope that continues to continue.
May 24, 2003
Reiki Conference – Day 2, The conference started
today with an acupuncturist. (One
thing neat was that I done a short massage on her before she started talking.)
May 23, 2003
Reiki Conference – Day 1, This was a fun day.
After dealing with what appeared to be bad computer karma yesterday,
today started out a little smoother, although later than I had wanted.
I was running late, and then I started collating what I had copied off
late last night. When I got to
the conference it was about two hours later than I had wanted to and after a
two hour drive.
May 22, 2003
After getting off work late, I am finally packed and ready to head to this
year’s Reiki conference. The
conference is directed by Dee Mitchell and the Gainesville Reiki Assembly.
Between Dee, and Janet, and Becky, they manage to create a wonderful
environment for healing, and meeting other healers.
May 12, 2003
I just got my notification and provider number form the Board of Massage.
May 6, 2003
I am in Maryland tonight on vacation. I just got to see a friend of mine
from high school. In fact he's the only friend that I still have from high
school. He has cancer, and has anywhere from six months to two years.
April 25, 2003
Last night, I got a call from my teacher who had been helping guide me through
the application process for the Board meeting yesterday.
She was at the meeting and had some comments for me.
April 24, 2003
Today was a very interesting day. I appeared before the Florida State Board of Massage over my
application to teach Reiki and give CEUs (Continuing Education Units) to massage
therapists. There have been a lot
of things going on that could have made this an interesting event.
April 23, 2003
Well tomorrow should be interesting.
I
will be appearing before the Board of Massage over my application to teach Reiki
and give CEUs (Continuing Education Units) to massage therapists.
April 20, 2003
I was online last night, when an AOL/IM window opened with someone looking for a
Reiki master.
April 13, 2003
A strange thing happened at the end of class yesterday.
I ended up answering some questions to demonstrate some different things.
In effect, I was doing a reading.
April 12, 2003
I taught a Reiki 1 class today with two people.
March 30, 2003
I did another massage tonight.
I am
enjoying this when I do it as it is such a positive experience.
March 29, 2003
After planning, and plotting, and hoping, I finally managed to have a third
Reiki share. The real neat thing is
that there were seven people that showed up.
March 25, 2003
I got a call the other day and scheduled a Reiki healing for tonight.
My client had received Reiki some time ago in another area of the state.
He told me that it left him with a very euphoric feeling.
He said that he was floating so much that the people there would not let
him drive home until he came down a bit.
March 22, 2003
I taught Reiki 2 today to one person with the aid of another.
Even though the class was small, it was good, and it was fun.
March 17, 2003
About a week ago, I got the dates for the Reiki conference this year.
March 16, 2003
I really need to get this down before I forget it. Or maybe I should say before
I forget more of it.
March 11, 2003
I’ve had to move my hot stone class.
My
boss told me that they scheduled something at work for the same weekend.
Great.
March 10, 2003
Well, surprise, surprise.
I just
had my first repeat customer.
March 9, 2003
Today was the day of the memorial service for Kay at her church.
It was also the day for the 'last class'. Helen was kind enough to offer driving through the nasty
weather. This same weather kept a
lot of people away.
March 8, 2003
Tonight was fun.
I had my first
Massage Party tonight.
March 4, 2003
Back on January 28th, I had mentioned having a dream.
After reading the journal posting, Helen sent me this…
March 3, 2003
I was sitting at my desk today when I had a surprise.
I got a call out of the blue to come do a massage… tonight. And strangely enough, it was not from anyone I know.
February 27, 2003
In calling people and telling them the
news about Kay, I was surprised with what one of her students told me.
She had gone to my site after not being there for a long time.
She had read my entire journal from beginning to end.
February 26, 2003
I
have been having a strange time with students lately.
For the last class, I had the one student that I scheduled a strange
time for and then cancelled.
February 25, 2003
I had my real first outcall massage
Saturday night (February 22nd), at least one that called for massage instead
of Reiki.
February 24, 2003
Something strange happened tonight.
(Ok, I can everyone’s grimace from here as you say that everything
that happens to me is strange.) I
got a phone call in the middle of the day and scheduled a massage… for
tonight.
February 23, 2003
It has been hard in the last couple of
days. I have been a contact point
for some people for information. Its
been hard enough for me to deal with it, but know I am having to be the strong
one as I listen to others cry as I talk with them on then phone.
February 22, 2003
A few weeks ago, I wrote everyone I could to let them know that my teacher and
Reiki master, Kay Mora had been taken to the hospital and to ask them to send
energy and pray. Through those
weeks there has been good news and there has been bad news.
February 21,
2003
The information that I was last updated with told me that the doctors were going
to do some tests yesterday, and make a decision today.
I was not aware what decision they were looking at making.
February 18,
2003
They moved Kay to Shands Hospital in Gainesville yesterday because they think
their facilities are better for helping her.
They feel this might be a long process.
February 15,
2003
I taught an interesting Reiki 1 class today.
This is not to say that all my classes aren't interesting, but this one
had some challenges.
February 10,
2003
I heard from Annie today telling me Kay is not doing well.
Apparently, her kidneys have stopped functioning.
February 5,
2003
I was just told that my teacher, Kay, went into the hospital the other day.
Apparently, she was bleeding , so they rushed her to Flaggler Hospital in
St. Augustine where she had emergency surgery.
February 2, 2003
Well, I have made my class reservations, now I need to worry about a motel.
February 1, 2003
This is not the way I had wanted to start a new month.
As I sit here watching the images coming across the television screen,
and this feeling of déjà vu comes over me, I can’t help but cry.
January 31, 2003
Physical Problem or Fashion Sense? Now that I think I've caught everyone's eye with a 'what the frell is he talking about', I will elaborate.
January 30, 2003
I talked with Carolyn the other night about things that were going on.
For whatever reason, she started talking about how she liked my journal. Some her comments I thought were just nice, but there was one
that surprised me.
January 29, 2003
I did an exchange of massage last night with a licensed therapist.
It was fun, and surprising.
January 28, 2003
I had a strange dream the other night.
Let's
rephrase that as most of my dreams are strange… I had a very unusual dream the
other night that bordered on possible reality.
January 27, 2003
Yesterday, I got a call from my friend Lisa, in New York. She is trying to
set up a healing center in the Albany area, and was looking for land. She
has some property picked out, and came to me for a little divining.
January 26, 2003
We attract what we project. Think about it.
January 25, 2003
Today I took another step in trying to promote my business.
I finished filling out forms and sent them to the Board of Massage along
with a check for $250. If these are
approved, I'll be able to offer continuing education units to massage therapists
who take Reiki from me.
January 24, 2003
I got an e-mail from Kellye today telling me how they felt after the Reiki
massage the other day. She said
that they slept like babies because they were so fully relaxed.
It was an enlightening experience.
January 23, 2003
I was reading on
ReikiAloha.com today, and came across an entry that was relating an epiphany that actually shocked the writer.
January 18, 2003
Today marks an historic occasion. I did my first one-hour out call massage.
January 17, 2003
I have been talking with Kathleen about her son's health.
A month or so ago she described a situation where he was creating energy,
but not allowing it to go to his whole body.
I had looked and found several blocks, but since he knew her touch, she
didn't want to anyone else going in and doing healing work.
She felt that it would make him nervous.
I had respected this wish, until today.
January 11, 2003
Today was the second slow fair in a
row. When Kay is trying to make a
living, and I’m starting a business, the slow fairs absolutely do not help.
I pretty much expected the slow fair last month as it was only ten days
before Christmas. This month, I had however expected things to pick up.
January 6, 2003
I got e-mail from Acaysha.
She wanted to let me know that the three people I sent healing to are
doing much better.
January 3, 2003
As
a Reiki master, I get requests for distant healing all the time.
Many come from friends.
Many
more come from friends that are in groups.
For instance, people requesting healing will send to the Gainesville
Reiki group. Dee will compile
these, and send them out to her the practitioners that are on her mailing
list.
January 2, 2003
As
I probably said many times through these journal entries, I learned my first
massage moves from my friend Carolyn when we were both living in Maryland.
She taught me the basics of massage while I taught her the basics of
energy work.
January 1, 2003
It is the beginning of a new year.
Ring out with the old, ring in with the new?
Yes and no.
December 28, 2002
Let's talk about intent.
What do you intend to do today?
How
do you set intent when you heal or do energy work, or be with other people?
December 22, 2002
Well, I’ve passed on the moose story.
Now,
this is the deer story.
December 19, 2002
Have you ever done something where you had to cover your tracks?
I remember the movie starring Jack Nichcolson which was based on Stephen
King’s ‘The Shining’. Jack
was chasing the boy through the snow when the boy got smart.
He made tracks in the snow, and then stepped back into each footstep to
lead Jack down the wrong path. Well,
energy is the same way. Honey,
I’m ho-ome.
December 14, 2002
We had a very slow psychic fair today.
Kay
had about seven customers. I had
none. Other than talking with the
people that came in, I only did one interesting thing, I helped in a healing.
December 13, 2002
I checked my neighbor's house again last night, and it was back.
December 12, 2002
Well, the girl slept in her bed all night last night. That is a change.
December 11, 2002
I had been wondering when I would end up having to do ghostbusting again.
Well, surprise, they're ba-ack.
December 1, 2002
I was at my regular job today.
November 30, 2002
Today was the first day I managed to get to the malls and enjoy in the holiday
spirit. Yeah, right.
It was more like 'Red alert, full shields activated'.
November 29, 2002
I did a healing tonight on a friend
that has been going through some rough times.
November 23, 2002
We had a very interesting psychic fair today.
I was there to do massage, but all I seemed to do was Reiki.
November 20, 2002
A dear friend and student who is going through some very hard times was at the
grocery store last night when someone got hurt.
November 18, 2002
There was a post on ReikiAloha that asked questions about attunements.
November 9, 2002
I did a Reiki healing this evening, but that was where normal ended.
November 8, 2002
I taught a class in Astral Projection (AP) tonight to John, one of my recent
Reiki 1 students. It was fun.
November 7, 2002
Things have been interesting lately.
I
am ready to do massage, but I keep getting calls for Reiki.
November 2, 2002
I taught a Reiki 1 class today that came about in an unusual manner.
About two weeks ago, I had received a call from John about talking a
Reiki class. I had things to do in
the coming weekends, so I set him up for a class today.
In the meantime, I knew I needed another student, or someone to help out
as a body.
October 30, 2002
It was an interesting evening last night.
I did some very powerful healing work.
Or maybe better put would be to say that I was there while some powerful
healing happened.
October 29, 2002
Ego.
It's our dreaded enemy.
But, is it really?
October 28, 2002
I keep finding it interesting how the universe moves.
October 26, 2002
I wonder, what would happen if I held a Reiki share, and nobody came?
Well, that pretty much happened today.
And guess what?
Magic still
happened.
October 23, 2002
I had a call tonight from someone that was interested in Reiki.
She had been to a psychic a number of years ago who told her that she
would be working with Reiki. Until
recently, she had not thought of that again.
October 17, 2002
My friend, Sherry has been working with someone distantly that has been
suffering from the flesh-eating virus. She had been sending healing (along with several friends) to
him for some time now. The other
day, he died.
October 16, 2002
Let's talk confidence.
Why is it
everyone seems to have more faith in me than I do?
October 15, 2002
One of the folks on ReikiAloha Posted this quote.
October 14, 2002
A friend wrote me several days ago, and told me that Aloha was back up.
October 13, 2002
It's up!
It's up! What's up? Oh,
not much. What’s up with you?
Just kidding. What is up? My
Massage site is up. Hooray!
October 12, 2002
As of yesterday, I am legal.
No, I
didn't just reach my 21st birthday. Do
I ever wish that was it.
J
I got my actual massage license in the mail.
October 11, 2002 (Part 2)
Something magical has happened.
I
got to do some healing today.
October 11, 2002 (Part 1)
What is this brightness I see? Wow, it’s a spark of light.
Where did that come from?
Well,
first it came from a friend that I have never met. Then it came from other friends that care about me (though I
still haven’t figured out why). Next
it came from family. Now, it’s
coming… uh, it’s coming from inside of me.
October 10, 2002
I’m a caring person, a gifted healer, a source of positive energy.
Why is it that sometimes I can’t find my way out of the dark?
October 8, 2002
I have threatened to do this, and I am
going to. I am going to talk about
energy. Is Reiki energy?
Yes. Are there other
energies that can be used to heal other than Reiki?
Yes.
October 6, 2002
In this journal, we’re all about experiences, and learning experiences.
This is true whether I’m talking about Reiki, or ghostbusing, or
meditation. It is also true if I am talking about other, more mundane
things like… starting a business.
October 4, 2002
Ever notice that once you reach your goals, there are more goals?
September 28, 2002
Did my first massage in a few weeks today.
It felt good to be back in the groove.
September 26, 2002
My father in law is doing better though he has a long way to go.
September 25,
2002
I was getting to the point that I was ready to send energy to my father in law
when a unique thought crossed my mind.
Instead
of just sending energy, I put a tap into him.
September
24, 2002 (Part 2)
When I got home form the test, I learned the news that had been kept from me so
I wouldn’t be distracted from my test.
My
father in law went into the hospital this morning with a heart problem.
The way the doctors were talking, it wasn’t going to be good.
September
24, 2002 (Part 1)
Well, it was a very interesting test, a very hard test.
And the bottom line is…
I
passed!!!
September 23, 2002
Well, I did my studying for the day, and I am as ready as I can be to take the
test tomorrow.
September 22,
2002
I just had a class yesterday that helps prepare for taking the national boards.
In it, I found out that the sets of test questions I have been using to
help study have wrong answers. Now
I am trying to cram as much in as I can.
September 11, 2002
Today is a day of remembrance, remembrance and prayer to whatever deities you
believe in. It is also a day for
thankfulness and forgiveness.
September 3, 2002
The date is definitely set. I
will be taking the test on the 24th at high noon, and hopefully that won't
turn into low noon.
J
September 2, 2002
OK, the schedule is set, at least
until something screws it up.
August 28, 2002
Last year, I talked about vortexes,
whirling tornados of energy. Why
am I creating vortexes when I pull energy out?
August 21, 2002
My neighbor, Candace, called this
evening and asked me to come over and meet a friend of hers.
She introduced me to Chris who is a Reiki 2 practitioner.
As it turns out, he lives over on the road, a couple of miles from
here. Chris studied wit a Reiki
master in Massachusetts.
August 18, 2002
I went to my first outside Reiki share
today at Helen's house. There
were seven people there, the same number that were at the one I had last
month. I wonder if there is something
magical about the number seven.
July 29, 2002
Well, the time has come to get my
backside in high gear. I have until October 11 to take the national
boards to get my massage license, or pay another $250 fee. Hmmm, I think
it is study time.
July 28, 2002
It has been almost two months since my
healing. And until now, I have only had minor problems with my
knees. I even went on a trip which involved a 13 hour drive, and only
had leg problems once. Usually, it is all I can do to get to work
without a problem.
July 27, 2002
Today, I held my first ever Reiki
Share. For those that don't know,
a Reiki Share is where a group of practitioners get together and do healings
amongst themselves, share ideas, and just plain old have a good time.
Today was very special.
July 7, 2002
It has been over five weeks since my
healing. I have had ups and
downs, easy times, and rough times.
All
in all, though, I’m winning. My
outlook has been good, and my legs have only bothered me seven times (and one
of those was because I had forgotten to take my medicines).
June 27, 2002
Tonight was my last in a series of
healing sessions with Sherry as part of my healing routine.
I have been getting better at being able to lay still long enough to
complete the session.
June 20, 2002
I
talked with Terri tonight. She is
back in Dublin now. She sounded
well, if not overly tired.
June 17, 2002
Ok, ok.
Everybody must be asking me what my fear is that is causing me the
blocks that I have. Well, to tell
you about that, I have to tell you about my first teacher of the ethereal.
June 15, 2002
We had an interesting fair today.
It was a semi-slow day, though Kay seemed to have a fair (get it) bit of
business.
June 14, 2002
For a while now, I
have been talking about problems I have, physical problems.
And for the longest time, I have been ignoring my need to heal.
Most healers tend to do anything they can to help heal someone else, but
not take the time to help themselves.
Well, I finally reached the point where I had to follow that adage that
I had been ignoring for so long, 'healer, heal thyself'.
June 6, 2002
I find it amazing that when someone in the spirit world wants something done,
they usually find a way to make it happen.
Sometimes even forcefully.
June 5, 2002
This is the last time I will question
the recent happenings here. I
guess when things don't go the way I want them to, or differently then I would
have hoped, I start questioning. Now,
sometimes when I question things, I am just wasting my time, as I keep getting
hit with this word "acceptance".
In all too many cases, I want to back away from doing what I have been
either because I really wanted something to happen that didn't, or because I
start doubting my abilities.
June 4, 2002
I e-mailed a dear friend about what I was feeling
as I try to be what I need to for my friend. Her reply was (as always)
straight to the point, and much more eloquent than I could have ever said
it.
June 3, 2002
What are we, healers or humans?
Is
there a distinction? Can we ignore
the pain around us, accept that things happen for a reason? I don't know about you, but its very hard.
June 2, 2002
We're
healers. Are we feelers?
To accept all aspects of healing, do we need to stop feeling? I guess this is an account of a healer's reaction to a
friend's tragedy, and the feeling of hopelessness that it can bring.
May 29, 2002
Corrections, Corrections. I have
been shown a couple of errors in my post of May 26th. Rather than correct
that posting after people have read it, I felt it best to make the corrections
here...
May 28, 2002
One final comment. While at the
conference, My friend Lyn reminded me of something our teacher, Kay, had told us
about coming back from experiences like this.
May 27, 2002
There was one thing that someone said
during the angel walk that was spectacular.
May 26, 2002
So much has happened within the last 56
hours that it is hard to comprehend.
A
little earlier today, I got home from my first ever Reiki conference.
Needless to say, I don’t think I’ll be coming down off this high any
time soon. But while so much of it
is still with me, I have to get it down, so here it is…
May 17, 2002
I managed to get to Psychic Development
class tonight. The meditation was
very interesting.
May 15, 2002
I just had a surprise.
I just graduated school.
Wow.
May 10, 2002
I
had another interesting healing session tonight.
We went through a lot of things that worked me around, and finally
cleared some more stuff. Then
Darrell asked if I wanted to do any channeling.
(He has asked this the last couple of times since that entity wanted to
come in.) I said 'sure', and then
went about the normal preparations.
May 6, 2002
Here's a thought.
Am I being guided, or am I seeing the future? Hmm, does that mean that I am guiding myself?
May 5, 2002
I taught Reiki 1 today.
The class was a very interesting mix.
One person was a working physicist, and the other was my massage
teacher.
May 4, 2002
Yippee! Hooray!!
Pardon me while I dance around the floor. I just finished my clinicals.
April 30, 2002
Well, I started out last Saturday signed
up for six slots at the school. I needed Five bodies to complete my clinical
requirements. I got three.
The interesting thing was that the last one was my massage teacher.
April 29, 2002
I
recounted the other day’s story to a friend online.
Her response was…
April 27, 2002
A
friend, and student of Kay’s told me a good story.
James had helped with some of my classes not too long ago. He sat through, and helped with Reiki 1, 2, and 3.
He told me that he had enjoyed seeing someone else teach them ,and
appreciated the other things I add to the classes.
He was telling me how he met a physical therapist who is also a Reiki
master.
April 26, 2002
Well, I finally managed to get to Kay's
Psychic Development class tonight. It
has been a while as I have been seeing Darrell on Fridays.
I'm hoping that all my scheduling problems end in four weeks.
That's when I graduate from massage school. At least tonight was something special.
April 25, 2002
What has started out as a bad day, which
has followed from a bad night, has actually turned into a good evening.
Let's see, it started last night with a problem in class, and ended with
a session with Darrell and more bizarre stuff.
April 15, 2002
I happened to be talking to Andrea on
the phone again. She told me that
she had lost her glasses. So, I
guess now it is my job to find whatever she loses.
Hmmm.
April 14, 2002
It was an interesting fair yesterday.
This was mostly due to the fact that I was out of control energy-wise.
April 13, 2002
As I sit here at the psychic fair,
waiting for my first customer, I think back to some of the discoveries I have
made in the last three weeks. I
have long considered myself a lightworker (and I don't mean that I don't lift
heavy objects), but now I found out that my purpose here is truly one of light
on a much greater level.
April 11, 2002
A friend sent me an article that talked
about the five reasons God (or deity of your choice) gives you problems.
Although the article itself was good, I found that the most powerful
words in it were at the end.
April 10, 2002
It
has been a fairly interesting couple of weeks.
There is not a lot of one thing to report on, but lots of little
things. Let's see, where to
start…
March 18, 2002
I have, had, have a very dear friend.
Now, the phrasing in that sentence tells a story.
Here it is…
March 17, 2002
Well, I had chased the ghost away, but
he had not gone to the light. Sherry got him to go when he came back.
March 16, 2002
Well, if you’ve chosen this entry
for a short relaxing read, you’ve picked the wrong one.
When I started the day, I knew I was going to school to work clinicals,
and then come home to do a healing.
Little
did I know I would be faced with some very interesting massage problems, doing
a massive healing, and then some ghost hunting.
I guess the best place to start is at the beginning…
March 9, 2002
It was a very slow fair today. At first, it looked like Kay’s only customers were going to
come from the people that were there, working the fair. Finally, customers started coming in, but they only wanted to
see Kay. I ended up having three
bodies. Unfortunately, I kept
thinking that I could have been in school getting credit for the bodies.
(Of course, it could have been a slow day there too.)
February 27, 2002
Past lives.
You know the old saying… Life’s a bitch, and then you die… and
then your next life’s a bitch, and then you die… and then…
February 26, 2002
Yesterdays posting made me remember
something about a doctor that I used to go to.
This doctor learned Reiki, and then used it to save someone’s life.
February 25, 2002
It was a very
interesting start to our Pathology class last night.
The teacher needed help, and I opened my mouth and offered.
February 10, 2002
I had two events in the last couple of
days. Yesterday I worked at a
psychic fair, and today, I taught Reiki 2 and Reiki 3.
I guess that the best place to start again would be at the beginning
(fancy that).
February 7, 2002
The
last couple of nights, we learned about craniosacral massage.
Now, even though this is called massage, it is really all energy work.
February 5, 2002
Tonight was even more interesting.
Believe it or not, I started taking notes.
Darrell talked a lot more about energy tonight, then let us do a basic
polarity healing.
February 4, 2002
Today started a very interesting week in
class, at least interesting to me. Our teacher, Darrell Bran, started teaching
us Polarity Therapy and Craniosacral massage.
And, although the one is called massage, it is strictly energy work.
January 22, 2002
Well, it’s been over a year now. What is it that is said… the proof of a good story is in
the telling? Well, I have been
telling one for some time now, but it is not done yet.
January 21, 2002
This is not the way I had expected to
spend the holiday. I had signed up
for 10 slots at the school, and had been concerned with how many I could
physically do. As it turns out,
there are no customers. I am
sitting here, on call. But it has
allowed me to type in some journal entries.
January 18, 2002
I have a friend that sent me an article
on stress. It pointed out that
stressed spelled backwards was desserts.
Now
if I had just known that the way to beat stress was to eat dessert, then I
wouldn’t have almost jumped off the abyss last week.
That’s right, I said abyss.
January 12, 2002
We had our first psychic fair of the
year today. It was a very
interesting time. I managed to do
two massages, and two complete Reiki sessions, and one that was a little of
each. And that last one was
spectacular.
January 5, 2002 (Part
2)
Okay, let’s get cocky for a
moment. I can take on you and your
entire army of psychics. Uh huh.
Sure.
January 5, 2002 (Part
1)
I think I need to figure some way
to make a message board out here. I
need somewhere to put feedback that I get from these postings.
I guess today’s message is “Dealing with Self Doubt”, and I am not
teaching it.
January 4, 2002
After some interesting feedback, I
think its time to delve further into energy and airplanes.
Am I crazy? No more than
usual. Am I strange? Normal? What’s
normal?
December 30, 2001
Well, the results are in about my
friend and her relatives.
December 29, 2001
Not
too long ago, I talked about energies and shielding and such.
I also talked about passive defenses.
Now, what about actives defenses?
December 28, 2001
A
dear friend of mine recently made a profound statement...
You can never truly hate someone that you have seen naked, or sleeping.
December 27, 2001
It's
not Halloween, so why are you wearing a mask?
December 26, 2001
A
friend of mine has had the realization that she can't go home again (at least
in a manner of speaking).
December 22, 2001
I did something very strange
yesterday, and the results were what I wanted, even though I doubt I had
anything to do with it.
December 21, 2001
I
promised Bev that I would explain about psychic muscles.
This seems to be as good a place as any.
Ok everyone, on the count of three... one, two, three, extend your mind
and move that lamp.
J
December 19, 2001
We’ve
talked about shields, about protecting oneself, about keeping out harmful
energies.
What
about creating energies?
What about creating energies that make people feel different things?
What about energies that make people want to come near you, or want to
stay away from you?
December 13, 2001
Had
a strange massage class tonight.
My subject was… the teacher.
December
8, 2001
This
was the first psychic fair that I have worked this year.
What pushed me to it were several reasons.
The first was that I was missed.
The
second was that I checked out to make sure there was a legal way I could do
it. The third was that my teacher was behind it 100%.
November 20, 2001
So, now that I have decided to not to
make comments on how much time lapses between posts, they seem to be coming fast
and furious. I know, feast or
famine. I did massage on a
friend’s back today, remotely.
November 17, 2001
I
taught Reiki 1 today.
My student came from Daytona, about 90 miles away.
November 16, 2001
Today
was the first of two magical days.
Today's story started with an e-mail to a radio station last Friday.
November 10, 2001
I had a friend in need tonight, a friend
that was too far away to touch, at least physically.
November
9, 2001
Had a couple of interesting things
happen in class the tonight. The
first dealt with how I did some bodywork.
The
other had to do with the visitor that popped in (and I mean popped
in).
November
7, 2001
I did an awesome massage tonight. I don’t know what happened, but everything finally came
back together.
November
2, 2001
I will
stop opening my postings with 'it's been a long time since I last wrote here'.
The simple fact is that it has been, and this will unfortunately continue
until the end of May, when I finish school.
But this sacrifice (as well as a few others) will be worth it when I can
legally do massage. Also, it is
worthwhile considering that I am expanding my knowledge and healing abilities.
October
25, 2001
One of my students related something to
me that had happened to him. He had
been at work when he was talking to someone that had been having trouble with a
headache for quite a while.
October 13, 2001
I taught
Reiki 3 today. This makes the
second time in two months I have pronounced someone Reiki Master. Usually, I teach Reiki 1 a lot, and many of them go on to
Reiki 2. It is not that often that
someone has the time or desire to go onto Reiki 3.
September 30, 2001
I had a very interesting week in class
last week, massage class that is. Well,
it started in massage class Tuesday, but continued into anatomy class on
Wednesday, and massage again on Thursday.
So
far, all my classes have been nothing but bookwork, but next Tuesday, we will
take a test, then learn draping, and then begin working on each other.
But, that is neither here nor there.
September 13, 2001
I really hate to bring up these points,
but I must. There have been forces
at work here that we can not comprehend.
The
tragedy that happened only served to solidify a couple of things that I was
having doubts about…
September 12, 2001
It is hard to comprehend what has
happened in the last 24 hours. It
is harder yet as a healer to sit by and know that there is nothing you can
immediately do to help the people involved in the tragedy that occurred.
It is harder still as an empath to deal with the flood of emotions
happening around you, the pain, the sadness, the fear.
Even the best shields can’t lock out enough.
September 8, 2001
I had said in the last entry that I
hadn't posted for a while. Well, it
will probably be longer before I make more entries.
In two days, I start massage school.
I will be working full time in the days and going to school four nights a
week for five hours a night. If I
thought I was stressed before, well…
slowly,
take a deep breath… let it out.
September
7, 2001
A few things have been going on that I
should let everyone know. About a
year ago, I met someone online through the ReikiLinks.com (now ReikiAloha.com)
website. She was having a problem
with bad memories ever since having a Reiki session.
As it turned out, she had gone through some really horrible times growing
up. To deal with her past, she
suppressed all the memories, walled them off.
Three things we know… 1) After a period of time, walls begin to crumble
and eventually collapse, 2) Reiki
works on the physical, emotional, and spiritual levels,
3) Reiki goes where it needs to.
In
the healing session she had received, the Reiki energy saw emotional problems,
and went to work on them. This is
when the walls started coming down.
September 6, 2001
It has been a while since I posted out
here. That’s quite a change from
the time I was posting almost every day.
Well,
several things have caused that including working way too much as well as having
several things going on (none of them in the least bit ethereal).
One
thing I have been doing that is ethereal
is
teaching. Since the last entry, I
have taught Reiki 1 twice, and Reiki 2. And I am scheduled to teach Reiki 3 in a few weeks.
July 21, 2001
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.
June 26, 2001
I
had an interesting moment today when I needed calming.
Normally, I have many ways to calm (and if I really want to, some of
them work
J).
June 23, 2001
Vortexes.
Got in to Sedona last night, and realized that we had one day here
before we had to head back. I
realized that I wouldn’t be able to navigate my way to any of the places, so
I started calling guides.
June 19, 2001
Hmm,
let’s go back to slot machines.
June 17, 2001
Slot
machines huh?
June 16, 2001
I
meant to post this before I left, but too many things got hold of my time, and
wouldn't give it back. I am sitting on a plane headed toward Las Vegas, where we are
spending part of our vacation. The
other part will be spent in Sedona, Arizona, a place where all types of
alternative healing thrives due to the special energies around the place.
June 11, 2001
We had what was supposed to be the last
fair the other day. It was not a
terribly busy day. Kay had
customers through the morning, and I did also, but once the afternoon had rolled
around, it got real quiet.
June 4, 2001
Here we go again.
I certainly was not expecting anything like this, at least not anytime
soon, but it happened again, only this time it was long distance.
June 3, 2001
Some
last thoughts on spirits...
Some people think that it is neat to have a ghost in their house, as long
as it is benevolent.
A friend has a ghost living in her house.
This ghost, Mrs. Washburn, is the wife of the previous owner.
May 31, 2001
I had e-mailed Deb to see how the place was after we had done
our cleaning. What I got was good,
but much of it was a surprise…
May 30, 2001
Ghostbusting, round 2:
Brian and Deb 1, spirit 0.
May 29, 2001
Tonight started out to be a nice calm
exercise in balancing energies. Now
it seems I am in need of a ghostbuster.
May 28, 2001
What is it about Reiki and mysticism?
I guess it is time to sound off again (and I say that like it usually
isn't), but I just get tired of some of the things I hear people telling others
about Reiki. I guess it comes down
to there being no consistency in what is taught from one instructor to another.
May 20, 2001
I taught Reiki 1 the other night. My student came from Tucson, Arizona. Keenya was in town to see her parents, and take more classes
on her nursing certification. As it
turned out, she is a very strong empath.
May 13, 2001
I will be teaching Reiki 1 and Reiki 2 next week to
someone arriving from Tucson. This
is starting (starting?) to get interesting.
May 12, 2001
Had our next to last psychic fair today.
It was a medium busy day, with plenty of customers, but not enough
workers. The first customer arrived
20 minutes before we were scheduled to open, and it was just Kay and myself at
that time.
May 10, 2001
Last week, I taught Reiki 1 and 2. My Reiki 1 student came from Pennsylvania by way of the
Bahamas. And yes, this is pretty
out of the way. Josef is a very
pleasant elderly gentleman who has been doing healing for a long time, although
he has had no real training in it.
April 30, 2001
In the April 25th posting, I talked about how as
healers, we tend to do whatever we can to heal others, but forget about the most
basic things of energy healing when it comes to taking care of ourselves.
I know that if I say, bash my knee into something, the first thing I usually
think of is not Reiki. It is more usually OUCH, along with a few choice
expletives.
April 25, 2001
One of the first things we learn in Reiki training is
to give ourselves a healing. I
know, healer, heal thyself. How
many of us really do it? I don’t
mean to ask how many of us benefit from channeling Reiki, but how many of us
really take the time to do healings on ourselves?
I don’t see too many hands out there.
April 24, 2001
In
recent months, I have developed something I call 'reaching'.
Now, I don't profess to be the inventor as I am sure lots of people do
it, but it is new to me, and (short of science fiction and fantasy), I have not
seen anything like it mentioned before.
April 23, 2001
I said in one of the last posts that I should talk a
little on astral projection, or AP as I like to call it (mostly because I am too
lazy to keep typing the whole thing).
I
guess that this is as good a time as any.
April 8, 2001
As I mentioned in yesterday’s journal, I would talk
about visions of God. And yes, I do
realize that I am baring my soul to everyone on the internet. And yes, it is scary.
April 7, 2001
We had a pretty good fair
today although it started slow. Last
month , we had very few workers (one healer, who also doubled as the check-in
person, Kay, and me) and tons of customers.
This month, we had lots of help, but no customers.
A few came in throughout the morning, but when the afternoon came, so did
the people.
April 4, 2001 (part 2)
Last night, I taught meditation to a friend.
This was her first time. She was concerned that she wouldn't really do
anything. I of course told her that she would. She got comfortable,
and I started.
April 4, 2001
I was talking to a friend on Instant Messenger
today. When I met her (online meeting that is) I told her about Reiki and
all. Today she relayed this story...
April 1, 2001
Some thoughts on attunements. (And no, this is
not an April Fools joke.) I had seen a posting on the web about giving a
student their attunement at the beginning of class, before they are taught
anything. I think the thought line is that they are giving the student the
ability to do Reiki by giving the attunement.
March 31, 2001
Taught Reiki 1 today. I had received an e-mail
inquiring about classes last weekend, that had been sent about 30 minutes before
I had turned on my computer. Since there was a phone number, I called the
person that sent it. I really surprised the send as he thought a half hour
was great response time on an e-mail.
March 30, 2001
Each week I take a psychic development class from my Reiki teacher,
Kaimora,
who is a local Psychic in St. Augustine. Along with what she taught this
week, she told us the story of the moose.
March 10, 2001
Worked at a psychic fair today. The place was
hopping. Everyone was doing something. My teacher was doing psychic
readings, and was constantly busy from 10:30 right up until 5:00. Everyone
I talked to was saying how "right on" she was.
February 17, 2001
We had the psychic fair in St. Augustine today.
It is not really a fair where you have many psychics (as the county has a
law stating that psychics can not work within a mile of each other), but one
where additional services are offered.
February 11, 2001
There’s an old joke that ponders what type of
question different types of college graduates will ask.
February 9, 2001
Some thoughts on energy.
February 4, 2001
I was talking with a dear friend a long way
away. She was reading these posts and started crying. She asked me
to hold her...
February 3, 2001
Taught Reiki 1 today.
December 14, 2000
I gave a friend a hug today... in Ireland... and she noticed...
November 25, 2000
It was the day after Thanksgiving when I got a
call from Sherry, my friend and student.
She
was having a problem with a dead woman, and needed some help.
