The start of the next phase of my Reiki journey!🙏🏻

Starting next week, I begin the next phase of my Reiki journey. Until now, I have given Reiki either to myself, or my girlfriend, Donna. On Tuesday, November 26th, though, I will have my first experience giving it to a stranger. That will be when I join a Reiki circle at the SF Reiki center. Then, I'll be volunteering at one of the centers regular weekly clinics on Monday, December 2nd. What a fantastic opportunity! I am so blessed to have been given this gift, and the ability to use it to help others. Here is the page for the events the SF Reiki Center holds, in case anyone is interested:

Giving a hand in life...well, a pair of hands.

Well, here we are, over a year later, and looking down the barrel of so many changes.

First, this blog hasn't updated in over a year because, as most of you know, I broke my arm mere days after my last post. I'll talk about my recovery in future posts.

One thing I didn't, surprisingly discuss in this space was becoming a Reiki practitioner in April of 2018. Guess that's part of not validating myself enough...another topic for later. Anyway, I have started a Reiki page for my practice, Sunlight Reiki, on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/AlansReiki is the place.

I have a complete setup in my office with massage table and stoll for giving Reiki to people. I can't wait!

By the way, life isn't as green as it once was...I left the green party. I started realizing that Democrats are focused where I want them to be, and no, I don't mean just President Trumps impending impeachment. The green party was just too out there for me. Not as much as Libertarians, but enough.

So, I am still playing bass guitar, and loving life. Part of it is a renewed focus on meditation. I've been reading "Passage Meditation" by Eknath Easwaran, who translated the Bhagavad Gita so wonderfully.

Later posts will include pictures of my Reiki space, and I will talk more about Reiki and what it means to me.
