Reiki one – Qualified

By Life, PaganismNo Comments

I am pleased to announce I am now Reiki One qualified. I shall be looking for opportunities to practice what I have learned. Most of the course content I already knew (charka system, drawing down energy from the universe, etc.) however there was a number of things I also learnt (history of reiki, hand positions, etc.).

There was a focus on an exchange for Reiki which I found most interesting. So if someone asks for reiki they need to give something in exchange (wheather it be money, a gift, or a service). This way the person values the reiki given and it supports me in my time.

There has been talk about going on to Reiki 2, but I shall wait. The cards I have picked up as part of one of the exercises on the course have talked about change and new beginnings. So I wish to get my life a little bit more settled before considering Reiki 2. In addition to this, I am required to do three months practice prior to progression on the next degree.

Keeping you informed,

Antony

Reiki at the weekend

By Life, PaganismNo Comments

I am looking forward to my level 1 Reiki course at the weekend. Taught by a forma lecturer at university in complementary therapies. To get a head start (like I need one…ha…ha), here are some video’s I’ve watched on YouTube:

This one is about what Reiki is. I think the woman maybe quite knowledgeable. The bloke, who doesn’t seem to know that much (and whitters) unfortunatley does most of the talking. Antony Rating: 2 / 10.

This american woman gives a lot of knowledge about reiki and you see her practicing. However she does mention the 5th and 7th charka’s, which people new to reiki and the charka system may not be aware of.

As it’s late and I need to go to bed – I’ll add more soon. And I will let you know how the course goes.

Good & Bad News

By Life, ThinkingNo Comments

In work today I have recieved some good and bad news. The good news is that the post is to be made permanet. The bad news is that legally as I have been in post for less than 12 months, it has to go to advert. Meaning I have to apply for my own job again.

I love my job and value it. I do a good job and so far have managed to exceed some of the aims and objectives on my work plan. I recognise that I am in a good position (having done the post for nearly 12 months). However you do not know who is going to apply for the position and what skills and experience they have got, so I must prepair myself mentally for the worst.

I am pleased that no matter the outcome, the work will continue as I have a true passion for the work that I do.

My plan now is to put all my efforts in to the application form, interview (which will include a presentation) and prove I am once again the best person for the job.

Wish me luck!

Boyfriend?

By Life, Love & RelationshipsNo Comments

Yes, I am pleased to announce that David (also known as the attractive stranger) and I have got together offically. He brought me a lovely card with a heart felt poem inside and some white roses. Hopefully if I get chance I’ll post a picture on the blog before they die!

Blog soon,

Antony
