Everything is Energy - 5/20/07

Today I must admit that while not being exactly lazy, I am taking things easier. For example, I'm still in my nightgown and its 3:30 in the afternoon. Accumulated domestic duties are calling, so I decided to do some laundry and to dress the beds in the two guest rooms in their summer finery. That involves taking off the down comforters and heavy blankets and putting on the flowery quilt and hobnail chenille bedspread (dear male readers, I understand that most of you will be unable to understand the last few sentences so while I ramble on about the joys of domesticity please feel free to go build stuff or blow stuff up.) I'm aware that those types of bedding sound old fashioned, but I like that. I like antiques and country cottage type furnishings and decor. I like things that have a family history or are hand-made.

I'm also in one of my clean out the refrigerator moods getting ready for this weeks shopping. So I've been cleaning, cooking and chopping vegetables. I made Warren a cheese pizza for lunch to use up the rest of the grated cheese. Tonight I'm making Turkey Marsala with real mashed potatoes and cooked carrots. Dessert will be fresh strawberries over pound cake with whipped cream.

Hmm, I just re-read the first two paragraphs and I'm trying to figure out why I said I was taking things easier. I've been busy, not dressed, but busy.

If there are any inventors out there, I would like someone to invent walls that can change color by programming in a different color code. Would that not be cool? Change the colors to suit your mood with no messy paint or messy, expensive painters!

I often wonder what I would do with my days if I never had to go back to NIH again. Would I get bored once everything was decorated and painted to my liking? What form would my life take?

I have an idea about where I think my life is going. I've talked about it before. For the past 5 years or so I've felt like I was being called into some sort of healing work. I took the first level training in Reiki energy healing and plan to take additional training there. However, that is not entirely what I do. When I am giving someone energy healing or sending it to them, I enter into their energy field. Sometimes I am shown things like seeing an x-ray like picture of the body, or seeing symbolic representations of where people are with their illness emotionally or physically. I also feel things in my own body which might mirror their problems. I can usually feel the energy flowing and know where it is flowing into the other person's body. I also can tell when it is time to stop. I've stopped doubting that something is happening when I offer this to someone. I have given my life over to spirit to be in service in this area. I believe that if I am drawn to offer help to someone, then there is a reason for it and I don't have to know what the reason is or how the energy will be used. I have to detach from the outcome because in reality I am just acting as a conduit. Everyone could do this for themselves, but often times they need someone else to hold the space for them where they are seen as already well and whole. I believe that I am still in the development phase and that over time I will be more involved in this work than I am now.

Its time to finish some of the tasks I've started for the day so feel free to talk amongst yourselves or move about the country. Enjoy your day.
