Beth, how sweet of you to remember. And I have been using my reiki the past few days. My body has been so sore from the stress of moving and today I have the owners of the house coming (in just a few minutes) and so I have been panicking trying to get everything unpacked and just right (I'm a bit anal). And so of an evening I have been giving myself treatments.
Maybe that is why I have been able to break out of the cycle and see what I have been doing.
There was a time when I thought reiki could "fix" everything. This eventually led to disappointment when everything didn't get "fixed". And so I put reiki on the back-burner. But it's like you said, I can still keep up my protocols, although I definitely intend to simplify that right down. I just need to find the correct balance between the physical and the spiritual aspects of my life and stop doing everything to the extreme.
