There have been a lot of changes going on in my life recently. And I do mean a LOT. However, this is not the place to give updates about my everyday life. What needs to be said here is my experiences with the Reiki training and attunements.
I took the course on June 30 and July 1, one attunement each day. The first night was a lot of history and listening. It was a great lesson in patience. As far as the Level I attunement, I didn't experience the extremes that others did. My palms tingled after receiving the symbol, but that was all until it was over. I felt all of what was happening in my life, all of the emotions, and was left with a residual feeling of some serious sadness. This was confusing. I wondered if the attunement didn't work. I left feeling discouraged.
The next day, I asked the master who had attuned me if my reaction was normal. She said it wasn't that common, but not unheard of. She said that the Reiki energy was clearing out all of those negative thoughts and emotions to make room for the positive energy I need in my life. That was very encouraging. I entered the day's training eager and ready to do some work.
We did a guided meditation session before we began. It was there that I met my spirit guide, or at least one of them. I've met him before on the physical plane -- the horse I rode on my vacation in Mendocino, CA. He's a beautiful, fire-red chestnut stallion named Voltaire, but the spirit's name is Aswari. Such an awesome experience. :)
We then learned the three Reiki symbols and received the Level II attunement. Same story here with the tingling palms, but this time when I became aware, I was relaxed, although I had the beginnings of a headache. It lasted all day, even with a few people doing some treatments. The treatments did help, but it always lingered.
We learned to send Reiki from a distance to a partner based on whatever needs they told you they had, how to do a Byosen scan, hand placements for both self treatment and treating others. We did a large group healing session where we had about nine or ten people to a table and everyone received Reiki from the group for five minutes each.

It was such a great experience. I am very, very glad I did this. I can't wait to start using it on some of the animals at the ARL and any of my friends who are willing. :)
Love and harmony all of your days.
