Things we don't talk about...out loud...

So how many of you have tried Reiki? I tried it for the first time this weekend and while it’s concept is strange and you can’t imagine that you get anything out of it, it was fantastic. The concept surrounds taking your bad energy out and replacing it with good energy and this is done by someone who places their hands on you in certain places such as your elbows and knees for a long period of time. The official definition: a healing technique based on the principle that the therapist can channel energy into the patient by means of touch, to activate the natural healing processes of the patient's body and restore physical and emotional well-being.

It was great ! I felt totally relaxed but I also had experiences of waves of energy throughout my body.  I don’t know if it necessary meant that she was transferring positive energy to me, but it felt that way and I felt great afterwards.  So, this further reinforces my needs to try to find alternative ways of dealing with the pain and the emotional anguish that I’m going through. But, then days like last night happened.

As most of you know who take any sort of narcotic, they can ‘bind’ you up.  Big time! And last night for me was that time. Everything I tried didn’t work. I’d feel like oh yes, this is the time, but nope, it was all just a false alarm.  Eventually things worked out for the best, and forgive me for the humor but I know feel light as a feather. It’s one of those things that you have to weigh the pros vs. the cons. The pros being obviously a more pain free way of life, but then this big con rears its’ ugly head. Luckily, as I’ve said before, I have great friends, boyfriend, and family who made it all a big joke, and helped me get to the end goal ! J

Also --- after guidance from a friend, which helped reinforce some more thoughts in my head about what is going on and other means of healing, I’ve made an appointment with a naturopathic dr in the NH area on her recommendation.  While it’s two months away, I know that no matter whether I am suffering from anything physical that is manifesting itself, that I know that this type of medicine, natural, will help me better in the long run. Looking forward to it….
