Reality is subjective. I never used to think that. I mean, how can reality, something that one would assume can be empirically proved or disproved, be open to interpretation, conditioned on whether someone accepts it or doesn’t accept it? Then came social media, which does have some uses (hi fam) but is also a veritable,Continue reading “Living in Interesting Times”

Continually Connecting to Ever Flowing Reiki
Early on in my Reiki practice, I knew in my head that Reiki is infinite, but I was more inclined compartmentalize it, to treat it as something that is called in under special circumstances, such as before healing myself or others. I don’t know, I guess I didn’t want to “waste” the Reiki (as if)Continue reading “Continually Connecting to Ever Flowing Reiki”
The Courage to be Wrong
I was bathing my five year old son over the weekend when he suddenly grabbed his leg with one hand and foot with the other, crying out that he had a cramp. I reacted immediately to do what I could to ease his pain, which in this case involved a combination of massage and Reiki.Continue reading “The Courage to be Wrong”

It’s common for people to tell you how they feel about things – relationships, work, politics, brussel sprouts. But it’s actually the other way around – our feelings drive what w e think. For example, brussel sprouts have never actively sought to offend anyone, yet those who have bad feelings towards them (based on input fromContinue reading “My Feelings? I Thought they Were Yours.”
Tuning In/Tuning Out
There’s an old joke about a guy who lives next to a train track all his life. Every night the B&O comes through at about 2 AM, so loud and close that the floor boards rattle in the guy’s house. Of course, he sleeps through it. Then one night the train breaks down five milesContinue reading “Tuning In/Tuning Out”
Changing the World
From childhood I took for granted that I interacted in the physical world with other people who believed likewise. I wasn’t particularly aware of that, nor did I articulate it consciously – it was just reality. The individuals who populated my corner of the world had more similarities than differences – it was a fairlyContinue reading “Changing the World”
