At the Reiki 1 class that I mentioned in my last post, our teacher began by asking each of us why we were there. I have a hard time speaking on the spot, and just my luck! I was first to go.

Blockages, origins, setting intentions.

Clearly — I’m having a hard time getting started. 😰😅 So I figured I’d do what I do best, which is start writing and let a streamContinue reading “Blockages, origins, setting intentions.”
