When we did our first degree Reiki training, the Reiki Master told us that 2 side effects of working with Reiki are 1) what she called "dog breath" and 2) that electronics, especially computers, can get a bit "squirrely" on you. I can say from personal experience that both these things are true for me. I tried to post this about an hour and a half after finishing this morning's session, and this Mac was decidedly uncooperative. I opted to leave it alone and to take care of some errands away from the house for a few hours, and hope that now the computer has worked through its Reiki issues . . .

I hope everyone is feeling warmed and at peace. Thank you to each and every person who responded to this gift of Reiki. I am so happy I could end this year and begin the next with you on such a wonderful note.

My warm up exercises began this morning at 4, and Reiki about 30 minutes later. It was a very unusual session for me. I was aware of three distinct phenomena I had not experienced before. The most profound was the change in energy when I transitioned from healing for those on my regular healing list to those on our special New Year’s Eve list. The energy “ball” that I sense and in which I hold the folks to whom healing is sent usually pulses outward strongly and rhythmically, but this shifted quite dramatically to a very gentle, wave-like sensation. It grew in strength but remained wave-like in its rhythm for the entire 45 minutes it lasted on its own. The session ended just before 6:30, and I was surprised how much time had passed once I looked at the clock!

For everyone across the Dateline, I know you are already well into the New Year, and as all the rest of us join you “in the future” I want to wish you all good health, laughter around great meals with your family and friends, and love:
