Reiki energy, and not being alone
posted by Mom on October 13, 2005

I just woke from a dream where I was left stranded pretty far out in the ocean, and a dolphin came along, nudged me onto his back, and carried me back to shore.

You can't help but see the subconscious in that.

I have a sort of strange request: I don't know how much you know about reiki, but I've seen it in action (felt it in action, even) - and I believe in its capabilities. Around 9am EST this morning, a whole wonderful group of reiki masters from around the world will be joining together and focusing healing energy on little monkey.

I believe prayer is another form of this energy, and I believe positive energy - as much as I'm not feeling all too positive lately - can do so much for the world. Even if you don't believe in reiki, could you maybe stop and say a little prayer or send some hopeful energy of your own at about 9? (Though, we'll take it just about any time, anywhere.) At this point, I imagine it can't hurt, right?

It's 4:30 in the morning and I can't sleep anymore. I had a rough, rough evening. Luckily, a coworker was still around to scoop me up and take care of me for a little bit. I wandered the grocery store until I knew Jay was going to be home. I've never in my life needed people so much, but I didn't want to be around anyone and I couldn't stomach being by myself (my parents were stranded in NY because of the awful, awful rain). What's a girl to do? So food shopping at a fairly new-to-me store it was - lots of people, none of whom know me or what's going on, no routine, lots of distractions. Needless to say, I came home with these little brownie-whipped cream concoctions they had in the bakery. Jay came home moments later and took care of me, which I'm so grateful for, because he needs to be taken care of, too, right now.

I'm going to try to sleep a little bit more - being surrounded by the kids at work is the best therapy right now, though they definitely require more energy than I have - so I need all the rest I can get!

Please - if you're around and you remember, even if it's just a little kiss blown his way - send some love around 9? Thanks.
