The yoga community has led me back to Reiki and I hear it loud and clear. I participated in a two plus hour workshop Saturday afternoon that had me smiling + breathing peacefully. I felt home amongst the 20 new strangers that sat in a circle hands outstretched sharing each other's energy. I know it sounds like some new-wavish baloney, but it was exactly the place I needed to get to. I met some beautiful people who are all looking for the same thing: a new community space of positive, warm, embracing souls. There is no judgment or sideway glances, just a space where we entered into; a place to land softly as who we have become.

Reiki is an energy-based form of bodywork with roots in Japan. It is a form of palm healing which is beneficial to healing the mind and soul associated with illness and stress. We all have energy. We all can learn this beautiful art form.

I had two practitioners perform Reiki sessions on me and they felt what I have known all along. I was told by others as well (in Reiki sessions and in life) that I am an extremely open energy source with a very high intuition. (I have ignored it in the past and am aware of it). But, I am finally ready to Trust what my body tells me. Both sessions were heartwarming. I set my intention for the day and gave it away. It is funny, but I have not felt better physically in my life as I do right now. I am taking care of me in so many ways and my stomach is back to normal! =) It was really bad for about a year... I have lost some weight and feel lighter. My doctor questioned it last week, but I explained to her that I am finally understanding what I can eat to feel good and that my healthier yoga lifestyle keeps me grounded. She got it... I get it!

And with that said, I have decided to enroll in a 10 week session detailing Reiki 1. It will be an intensive weekly class that is about 3 hours long held in the evenings. And, the amazing thing is the timing is so right. Everything is right. The teacher is going to work with me on a payment plan and is allowing her students to decide in some ways what they can afford. There is a sliding scale tuition, but there is movement for change + understanding.

I know best that all I need is some change + understanding...

Today I am treating myself to an hour and a half deep tissue massage to end this weekend in the utmost peace.

And, then next week on doctor's orders, I begin physical therapy for my neck, shoulder and back. And, I have to have my elbow drained from the bursitis I developed during my staircase fall! That fall down the stairs caused some damage, but nothing I can't fix. The physical therapy will allow me to have full movement in my neck, shoulder and upper back once again. Right now, they are one tight mess! My boss is also being flexible and allowing me to schedule the appointments as I need at any time of the day. I feel like the world is working with me...

It's all great stuff. I feel like it is all coming together. I can see the left hand turn right up ahead and I already have my blinker on.
