Well it seems I have a day where I actually have time to participate
in the various a sundry forums.
In January I began college, taking a couple cl***** that I tested
above to simply get back into the academic state of mind (and
hopefully perform better with the cl***** I know nothing about). I
believe it worked out to my advantage and shortly before that first
term ended, I enrolled in a second college, of which cl***** began the
very next day after my first term began.
Next Monday I begin attending cl***** in person, again. It's going to
be fun, interesting, and challenging. My first class begins at 9:30
a.m. and the last class ends at 3:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, five
days per week. When I return home, I will be logging on to the other
college to continue the other coursework.
At the beginning of the year my intent was to pursue Nursing, but
Reiki facilitates healing and healing facilitates change. I realized
that like Garry and Alex, I know a little bit about everything (but
not enough to specialize in anything), so I've decided to pursue a
degree in English Literature. This will eventually improve my writing
and perhaps one day, elevate me to the status of English Professor.
Next year, the declared degree may change (again) but perhaps that is
one of the ways of Reiki.
The San Francisco Reiki group is growing with a truly incredible
dynamic. It's absolutely amazing. To the best of my knowledge, we
are doing things quite a bit differently than other groups (especially
the groups in this area) but that way would seem perfectly normal and
ordinary to the group here. We are practicing ongoing attunements in
an ongoing training environment.
It's working out great. It's not an attunement-mill (distance or
otherwise) where a person is given attunements and a bunch of Reiki
material copied from books or websites but rather an environment where
one learns at their own pace. One might consider it an off-shoot of
AHR.
Here at AHR, ongoing group Reiki attunements are the norm. A couple
times each year, the lot of us gather in the Reiki mindset and perform
a group distance attunement. Most do not hold back and permit the
energy to flow as much as it will flow, allowing it to be received to
the extent it can be received by the participant receiving (and
participating).
That practice of "unrestrained" attunements has invited a tremendous
amount of change to manifest in my own life, and I am certainly
grateful for it - after all, it was only some 6 or 7 years ago that I
was living in a homeless shelter. Change can be a very good thing.
I hope that everyone is doing at least as well as I.
