April 20, Prayer

Last night, I did pray again.

When I pray, or offer to Goddess Brigit, I use my Reiki with it. That is what I did.

I had a very good cry, it's what was, I felt needed, I needed to let it out, b/c I've been keeping it in all week, I would read the news, and get tears, but I wouldn't let it out.

Last night I let it out.

Goddess bless, those who have passed on, help there families, friends, and communities, move on.

I don't know what to ask for Cho, so I leave it up to Her, because I don't know what to ask.

Observations over the last 2 Days

Monday, April 16th

9:30am: A flash of Sensation of Wood, of being in the woods, of the smell of the Earth. Like reminding me of something, or a call.

11:30am and throughout my shift: A felt like crying while at work today, and still do. About the shooting at VA Tech. While I was was saying a prayer, and kept saying prayers throughout the morning I felt like crying.

Who do you answer a calling?

I lit candles after work, and before bed. For those that died today, as well as for the families, friends, and the all that were affected, including the gunman and his family. His family is going to get hit hard as well, being that it was their son or brother or cousin, that did this, but they may never have closure, as well as many affected by this, b/c the person who did this, killed himself.

Please understand in reference to the crying. I don't usually cry, I don't cry at funerals, I just don't cry, but lately, since starting Reiki, and meditations, my emotional side as been coming out of the shadow. Where I've hidden her most of my life. Emotions were not something I would release, not in public anyway.

Tuesday, April 17th

As I was getting ready for work on Tuesday, I smelled the Earth again. As I was leaving my room I smelled the hint of Rose w/ it. Was this from the incense that previous night. Or was it an acknowledgment.

I did another prayer tonight. I lit a candle for each direction, and burned more incense. Again for the families, and all those affected by this tragedy.

Is this because I'm more comfortable w/ who I am? Or my path?

Today

Today after work,

I felt again the need to send some Reiki Energy and to Pray, not only for the people who were killed but also for the the person who shot them, and their families and Friends.

I lit 6 candles, 1 for each direction, and 2 addl ones.

Lit some Rose Incense.

Prayed, sent some Reiki and teared up a little.

Goddess Bless.

VA Tech Shooting

I consider Minnesota and Wisconsin my home, but Virginia was my home for 13 yrs.

I have some good friends down in VA and NC, and it touches me in an odd way to hear VA hit the news like here:

I have friends and family who have friends that went to Virginia Tech, my brother goes to games there.

And it just, makes me feel bad when I hear of things like this happening.

So much potential was there in the 33 that were killed, so much potential gone.

*-*-*-*-*

Last night I lit some candles, and some incense for the victims and their families. And sent some Reiki. I felt that I needed to do this, and still need to do this today.

33 People are Dead, and it could have happened anywhere.

This week

On Sunday, I drew the 4 symbols in Reiki that I have learned.

The Power, Emotional, Distance, and Master symbols.

Then I traced over the precepts that I printed from the computer last week.

So now I have these hanging in my room, it helps me meditate easier.

*-*-*

Last night, I was worrying about a check that cleared for 50 cents less than I wrote, normally I wouldn't be so worried about it, except that this check was written to the county, and I would hate to have the county come looking for me for 50 little cents. So the bank will need to be called today.

Anyway, I was worrying about it, then in my mind I recited, 'just for today do not worry' and 'i have the resources to fix this' This helped me get to sleep really well.

Reiki

Yesterday I was brainstorming.

I today I realize a few things.

When I was attuned to level 3a, and Kristin, had attuned me to the master symbol and a meditation.

And I realized today, that doing the meditation, helped me accept my path.

I've always done back rubs, and foot rubs, and scatches of the back. Every one that I've done that with, always commented on how good it felt. One person, Maria, some one I worked w/ at Target, mentioned that she could feel the energy come through, while I did the back rubs for her.

I was always leary about turning my gift into a job, b/c i didn't want to turn something I love to do into something I hated. But Reiki helped me realize, that it wouldn't be something I hated. It would be something I loved to do. The Ren Festival helped to show that as well. It is something I love to do, and the Reiki enhances that.

So I started looking as schools for massage therapy, so I could work w/ that and Reiki.

Reiki has helped w/ meditations, my photography, and dreams both unconsious and consious.

Thank you, Kristin for introducing me to Reiki.

With this said, I'm going to take a page from a friend and turn this journal into my home for Reiki Journaling, I'll still post on my LJ and 360, but I would like to finish what I start this time.
