Reiki: One Student to Another

It’s said there is a book in all of us and the lucky ones get to find the courage and motivation to look within themselves to find it, and then dare to share it with the world. If we work within our life experience and are true to ourselves, we have nothing to fear other than the shadow of fear itself. The most neglected relationship we have is the one we have with ourselves, and with the desire to know the truth, we become author and narrator of our life story in an effort to discover the real self, the stranger that lives our life. A stranger we wish to know, to like, and one day come to love.
A journey into the unknown in more ways than one; knowledge and understanding asks us to release our grip on reality and escape from a comfort zone that has held us captive for so long. Uncertainty is the constant companion to all things yet to be discovered, as we break new ground and old truths in equal measure.
As a story of my life this book is incomplete for my journey is far from over. What you are about to read is a journal, an aide memoir of a journey that brought me out of the darkness of depression and mental illness, and into the light that comes from seeking knowledge and understanding. A light that helps us see more clearly, enabling us to let go of the past, to choose forgiveness instead of blame, and to put down the emotional and mental baggage we have outgrown and no longer need to carry.

I have so much to learn and understand on this journey of self discovery, and as the universe guides my faltering steps, I hope you dear friend will walk with me for a while.

With thanks and gratitude
