Reiki Massage

I like these five daily mantras. But I wonder what being 'true to oneself' really means? If you take it literally, as William Burroughs did in one of his famous quotes, it can be quite selfish. He said: the only possible ethic is to please oneself. Is that the same thing? Being 'true to oneself' is also 'pleasing oneself'. Enough of this philosophy. Welcome back Jaylock. Nice to see you here again. We have all been worried about you.

Hi jaylock, - lovely to have you back - we missed you.

Co incidentally I have just discovered a Reiki practitioner who lives just up the road from Peter and I. I am going to give it a try myself and if any good will take Peter. So it's good to hear how much benefit you got from it.

I hope your surgery goes well and will be thinking of you.

jaylock,
I had the Reiki earlier today. It was, as you say, marvellous.
I am not sure what I believe about blocked chakras and energy etc but I have an open mind and anything that makes me feel that relaxed can only be good. An hour's treatment passed in a flash. I felt lots of pressure in my solar plexus area - as though it was being pressed down, even though she wasn't touching it. She told me after that I have some blockages in solar plexus (3rd) chakra and although for my first treatment it was just a gentle, relaxing Reiki, she says that if I go back she will do more on that area.
She is prepared to treat Peter at home (her treatment rooms are in an old building with no lift) and Peter is keen to give it a go - at the very least an hour of relaxing will make him feel better. She also suggests some meditation lessons for him.
She was a nurse for 30 years (reassuring) and has been doing Reiki part time at home for 10 years. She recently decided to give up her nursing and make this her full time job.
Your post came just at the right time when I was dithering about whether to try it - I am very glad I did. So thank you.
If we both get benefit from it, I may do a training course with her. Like you I want to learn how to do it myself. I liked her enormously which helped and there wasn't too much of the "hippy dippy" about her approach.
Hopefully you are going into your op full of positive energy. I will watch out for your postings.
