the soul
Is my higher self, an infinite field of energy.
My soul strives to learn, grow, expand with light, and ultimately reunite with the energy of the original source.

family
Went to my aunt's 85th birthday party in Connecticut.
Best parts: hearing her stories, playing with kids and balloons, A's joy in her glittery new sandals, passing out bags of flower seeds from my garden, hot coffee and homemade cookies, and the sun. Sitting in the sun in Aunt Lois' driveway drinking coffee, surrounded by family and flowers: forsythia, trillium, and dandelions. Kids running, laughing, and jumping into the hammock. Old photo albums and maps. Hugs and open hearts. Reiki attunements among garnet-studded boulders. Auntie HM and cousin S with new sandals: silky mauve flowers for HM, zippy spiky glitter for S. Spring sunshine. Cousins from NYC, Sacramento, Boston, and Memphis. Peaceful walk in dinosaur park and the beauty of the Connecticut River. Big soft feather bed at the Sheraton.
That was a good vacation.

drive like a bus
On those complicated loopy 4-lane 65 mile per hour freeways I drive like a Concord bus driver: middle lane, 70 mph. Steady. Wall to wall cars, tin cans with people inside, hurtling forward on strips of asphalt; I keep my bubble of safety. I let people cut in front of me, I leave plenty of room. Merge. I stay calm and feel generous.
Yeah, did that for 5 hours going down to Connecticut. Well, I took lots of breaks. Stopped and enjoyed the sunshine. Took me only 3 1/2 hours coming home: just one quick BR break. I drove like a bus driver.

spirit message
I was driving on the turnpike when suddenly I smelled garlic. Wasn't going past a restaurant, just cars and road. And garlic.
What spirit was trying to send me a message, I wondered. Who would try to reach me through the scent of garlic? I thought of relatives passed. Hmmm. Couldn't figure it out. It was definitely garlic.
Then I remembered the little gift shop at my last rest stop. All local stuff: I bought tiny bottles of maple syrup, lip balm, and spices. Garlic. Oh.

messages from the Universe
After feeling discouraged about my research for months, received 3 strong messages from the Universe today: continue the research! Ok, I get it, thanks!
One message came from a co-worker. We'd been trying to connect for weeks. She works at Yale (Yale!), publishes, and does research. I wanted to discuss research and publishing with her. Today she stopped by my office and we had a nice long chat about both. Very helpful.
Second message came from a hospital administrator. He told me that he's aware of me and my research. He supports integrative medicine. Research and publishing is the way to disseminate the information, he told me.
Third: an email from a respected Reiki researcher. My students frequently cite her work. We have mutual friends... we exchanged several emails. I requested her assistance and she agreed to help me!
You know what this means? Means I really have to finish up my research quarterly report, due April 1. Means I have to stop writing in my blog and get to work.
Sum it up? Hope, faith, communication, and hard work will help me achieve my goals of universal love and connection.

water
Pennacook Falls: I was scared driving over the bridge. Stopped at Boivin Park to look at the water and sculptures. I stood near the "Danger" sign and felt the immense power of the water: rain and snow melt. Water lapped into hollows and climbed up tree trunks. Water dropped and bounced back up, the spray a hundred feet into the air and visible a half mile away.
The shore is granite and quartz. There are iron sculptures and a marble Muskie memorial. In front of me: falls. To my right: falls. To my left, an arched green bridge and downtown. Behind me: tall Paul Bunyan offering an axe.

So last week
I was doing my usual Reiki class with my usual Reiki talk and PowerPoint. I talked about history, ethics, principles, and practice.
We did a relaxation exercise, and then I showed them the self-Reiki hand positions. "Them?" you ask. Oh, right. Oncology nurses. They were the them.
Only, something weird happened. Instead of quietly going thru the hand positions, I felt compelled to narrate. I didn't think about it, it just came out of my mouth: this running commentary.
It went like this. Eyes: "Your eyes need Reiki. All that computer time."
Ears. "Block out all that noise and listen to yourself."
Jaw. "Relax. Stop talking and listen."
Throat. "Speak your truth. Be kind."
Heart. "Open your heart."
Belly. "Feel your feelings.'
yeah, like that.

ghost cat
My psychic saw a ghost cat in my house yesterday.
I'm a dog woman; cats scare me.
I looked at where Denise was pointing and said, "Go to the light, cat!"
"Wait a minute," Denise responded. "You got mice?"
"Well, no. Ok, cat. Sorry. You can stay. Please stay."
