Today... on the drive

It seems as though I’ve completely fallen off of the grid! I have. I know I have. There’s been too many things happening. None that I care to share publicly. BUT, I’m changing. I’m evolving. I’m growing… Sure, I’d like to do a huge catch up for all of you. But the fact of the matter is, sometimes things are just better left unsaid.

I’m a light worker! Officially attuned in Reiki One! I cannot even begin to describe how different I feel. I can however narrow it down to one word.

Alive!

I feel ALIVE!

I wrote a piece in my Reiki Journal this morning about my experience post attunement.

Today on the drive…

Today on the drive to work, everything seemed clear. I step outside and suddenly a huge weight lifts from my shoulders. I can literally feel it lifting. I get in the car and turn on some music. I light a cigarette. I know it’s bad for me. I know I should stop. All in due time, I PROMISE! The music blasts and the sun is shining. It’s a glorious day! I feel my aura begin to expand. Literally as though someone is blowing it up like a balloon. Immediately I smile. Grinning from ear to ear I think… Holy Shit! I’m back! Tears fill my eyes and I say out loud “I’M BACK!” I take another puff… “WHERE THE FUCK HAVE YOU BEEN?” I laugh… wipe away more tears… go to take one more puff… and decide to toss it.

I’m so glad I’m back! Please don’t ever leave again! NEVER!
