Reiki II Class

Reiki II Class

I cruised into the Butterfly Rainbow Center feeling more confident and ready for learning a new skill than I had in a long time. As always, the energy hit me the moment I walked through the door. I had one familiar face from my Reiki I class and another was the Angel Writing Instructor.

There is something about the atmosphere and the people that go there that just warm your heart and make you feel as though you are all best friends and have known each other forever. It is a very comforting place to be. I am sure that is exactly what Rita and Randy envisioned when they first opened their doors to the public.

Class began with smudging, which I have to say is one of my favorite parts. There is just something about burning wood or herbs that relaxes me and makes me feel grounded, one with the earth.

Just like last time, we had class in the morning and attunements after a delicious lunch. However, this time, we learned symbols. I was terrified to take the test, as sometimes, I don’t have the best memory when it comes to taking tests. However, our instructor, Thomas broke it down so that our brains absorbed it all and actually made it easy. I am happy to say I passed the test and I am now a certified Reiki II practitioner.

After practicing at class, I went home and two of my children lines up before the massage table to see what I had learned that day. I used a little valor oil on their feet, played a chakra cleansing CD while conducting my reiki, then finished with a short back massage.

My youngest fell asleep on the table during the reiki session (poor thing had a long day playing basketball), while my son floated off the table, and back to watching the Olympics.

My homework assignment is to send reiki energy to a partner every day throughout the week and see if they feel anything. Hmmmm, Brad, are you having a hotflash about now?
