About 3 weeks ago I had my annual physical. It was the first one not done by the military in many years and so was quite interesting. One of the things the doctor told me was that I needed more fiber in my diet. He said an easy way to do that is to eat fruit with my lunch. I told him I eat a Banana every day, but what he meant was an Apple or some other fruit with a skin that’s harder to digest. So, I’ve started eating Apples with my lunch. At first I wasn’t too keen on them, they were only ok. The last few days though I’ve found myself looking forward to my Apple. It’s crazy! I mean, it’s not chocolate or sugar and I actually want it? Crazy!
Also in the last few weeks I had a Reiki session. A Reiki master is someone who can heal you with their energy. The master I worked with told me it’s not “woo woo” (new age non-sense) but actually a long practiced method of healing. It doesn’t really seem like something I would normally be in to, but Sharron went based on the recommendation of our Chiropractor and she really seemed to enjoy it. I wanted to understand this a little more and also be closer to my wife, so I decided to try it out.
I have to admit, I was a little nervous going in. I had no idea what to expect. The master was very nice and we sat and talked for about 20 minutes before starting the session. She told me that I’m very open and that’s very important for healing. She had me lay down on a cushey table and said I could close my eyes if I wanted to, or sleep or really do anything that made me comfortable. I didn’t want to miss anything, but I also didn’t want to be staring at her the whole time, so I closed my eyes, but tried not to fall asleep. She started at my head and I really focused on not thinking about anything. I wanted to keep my mind clear. At first I didn’t noticed anything, just the warmth from her hands. After a while though, I started to see some purple colors. They were odd shapes at first, but then they turned into specific things. I saw an old man with a beard and then what I thought was the Statue of Liberty, but it transformed into an Indian with a headdress. I also saw myself in the middle of a forest with a rake under a blue sky.
During the session, she moved around my body and this caused different feelings and I saw different things. I saw Parker at one point and felt an ENORMOUS amount of love for him. At another point I was in a hospital and turned to see my mother in a bed. I think this means that I’m scared of her dying. At another point I could swear that I saw myself sit up. I was still lying on the table, but there I was sitting up too. The last thing I clearly remember was when the master was working on my left foot and finished, she walked up towards my head and it was as if the sun were rising where she was. It was pretty interesting.
All in all I had a really interesting time. She told me afterwards that my paternal grandfather had come into the room during the session and “bugged” her a little. She said that he was so interested in me that she had to shoo him away. :-)
