It’s great to “meet” someone from Portugal! How did you find us here at Adversity University? I’m glad you enjoy my writing here. I’m grateful you found me and took the time to drop a line.

My Reki experience began shortly before Christmas. I was led to take a weekend course from a Reki Master and at the end became certified at the first level. Up to this point, I’ve been using it mostly on myself but I’ve taken small steps to establish a Reki practice. As for how I feel, it’s too early to tell but one thing I noticed is when I perform Reki on myself, I become very relaxed to the point of wanting to fall asleep! I usually do it at night when I climb in bed. Sometimes I use it if I wake up in the middle of the night and cannot fall back to sleep. I’ve found that it puts me back in the relaxed state and I drift off to sleep again.

As for why I was led to Reki, I have no idea. It became part of a series of divinely led events that unfolded at the right time with the right people. It felt natural to follow my instincts and go through with it. I had actually been thinking of taking “The Reconnection” course (Dr. Eric Pearl, author of a book by that same title) but it wasn’t until March. When the Reki course came up, it felt “right” and so I took the course locally for a lot less money.

Does this answer your question?

Congratulations on your blog and thank you for your inspiring writing.

Can i ask you to talk more about your reiki experience? Why? How do you feel?

Regards,

Nuno (from Portugal)

Isn’t the “Confessions of a Mystic” online book awesome! I couldn’t believe how I became so mesmerized by her stories and how I was simply incapable of stopping.

Of course, it helped that she’s a good writer but more to the point, her experiences totally resonated with my soul. That’s a great sign that her experiences represent some truth for me.

Glad to have introduced you to both the mystic and Liara’s sites. Both are awesome and uplifting. Enjoy!

Thanks – now all I need to do is find a way to make good use of it other than on myself! I do self-administered Reki several times a week, usually when I go to bed or if I wake up in the middle of the night, I use it to help me fall back to sleep. (It works!).

No, my Reki teacher did not tell me I could bless my food with Reki. I find that rather interesting! I suppose it is just a matter of hovering my hands over the plate?

Ah, so it was a tie. Well, well, well, I’m so glad you all had a good time on that very cold day. Makes for nice memories, hmmm?

Thanks Liara – when I’m inspired to write a story, I re-enact it all over again. I’m thankful to be given the gift of writing stories based on my own personal experiences.

I usually come out of the writing exercise with a combination of happiness, peace and gratitude for the experience. I always thank God for having helped the words flow through my fingertips on the keyboard. I never take my gift of writing for granted. This is why I never force myself to write. I disagree with bloggers who say if you have writer’s block, force yourself to write something.

“Each positive vibration you sent out enriches the lives of people.” That’s exactly why I continue to maintain this blog and share my experiences! I love the idea of “inviting” people to explore rather than demanding or pushing them to do so. I try to put myself in the reader’s shoes – “How would I feel if I were reading this?”

I’ve not read his book but I am very familiar with who Kyle Maynard is. In fact, I sent a donation for his van and got an autographed picture in return. He was asking for help to buy a specially built van so he could enjoy a measure of freedom that we all take for granted.

Oh yes, I LOVED it!

Yes, Jessica is amazing – who ever knew a person could actually fly with her feet???? I mean, WHAT?!? That’s news!

Thank you for the good wishes – I return the sentiments, exactly!

Thanks Deb – you are certainly getting a “sneak’s peek” into my life! Hahaha.

That’s true – it’s more about the personal evolution, not day to day business of a person’s life. For those who have been with me a long time, they have been watching me evolve.

And you know what? I’ve been watching myself evolve too! LOL.

Indeed it was a honor to meet you for the FIRST time! I am sitting here in my living room, using the laptop (what great freedom to do that instead of always going in my office!) and my mind is flooded with memories of our first meeting and conversation that followed. It truly lifted me up to see one of my favorite people in this community in person for the first time!

You definitely look younger than the picture I’ve seen of you! You are a great joy that I’ve always known you were simply by the words you type either in your newsletter or in the comment section here at this blog. Your words carry joy and light everywhere they go. So when I met you, I knew I was going to meet someone with the same energy!

Thanks for visiting me when I was in VA for the holidays. My family and I look forward to having you back – this time for dinner like Nita did!

I knew you would enjoy the Tiramisu photo – I must say that it was because of YOU that this photo finally made its way to the latest gratitude post. Good thing you suggested I take a photo of it before I ate it because otherwise it might not have occurred me to do it.

Wow, that’s a cool thought – “it may be because due to the fact that YOU are the one who’s doing that (giving more compassion), therefore attracting people who are like you….” Well, yes, that certainly makes sense! It gives credence to the old saying that “like attracts like.”

Look forward to seeing you again the next time I go to VA. Probably around the Spring.
