THIS Rhett Butler Will Never Die

 So I was listening to Lorie Ladd's Patreon live stream yesterday evening and was made uncomfortable by the stories that two of her patrons shared. These were two different women who had successful lives and successful careers but were unhappy because they were not making as much money as they believed they deserved to make. They were hoping to get even better at doing things that, by my standards, are pretty darn good to start with. In comparison to the career success I've achieved in 63 years of life, these women (in their 30s-40s) have already achieved a status that I know I'll never amount to.  This ruffled my ego's feathers pretty strongly. On top of these ladies not being happy with all that they already have, they had to flaunt it all in public using up Lorie's time and energy that could have been perhaps better used assisting low-life types like myself. I had at one point thought that perhaps I'll "raise my hand" and volunteer for Lorie to coun...

I went out tonight to one of the two, monthly free Reiki clinics at HCH in Lafayette. It's my third time to attend there for the night time clinic. Tonight one of the Reiki masters that gave me my attunement was leading the clinic. She made me feel really welcome and even invited me to work with the practitioners giving Reiki to people who came for healing. I chose to wait to see how I felt after I received Reiki. I've been really consistent with giving myself daily self-healing sessions of Reiki. I don't think I've ever missed more than one day of self-treatment in the entire time since I was attuned back on August 13th. But there is something noticeably different about healing yourself and receiving Reiki from another person. At least I have noticed this from my own personal experiences. Sometimes the Reiki you receive from another person is very, very powerful. And sometimes it's not. (At least what you are consciously aware of feeling.) The last time I receive...

I've had influxes of so many different types of spiritual energies and belief systems infiltrate my mind and body in this lifetime, it sort of surprises me that I found yet another system to tap into. There is a lot of talk and hype going on around the world about the wonders of Reiki, but not so much that on it's own, it would have convinced me to seek out joining it on my own. If it had not been for the enthusiasm of my best friend, and her kindness, I probably would not have jumped into the boat with all the other Reiki-ers right now either. I'm not at a stage in my life where I'm all gung-ho about being a healer or getting healed right now. Not on the surface of my mind at least. Not in any sense of urgency or bubbling excitement like I have been at times in the past. Mind you, I do want to experience more joy in my life, and less pain in my body, and less confusion in my mind... And from what I've been experiencing with the self-application of Reiki energy so f...
