Since I’m sure you’re all on the edge of your seats to find out how my aforementioned adventures ended, I thought I’d tell you …
Reiki: I have yet to have a second session, as my Reiki person (and friend) is sick. Isn’t everyone? And no, I don’t think its swine flu. I am still feeling pretty balanced, but will be having another session when I can.
Hello all and welcome to the week that has been, or at least, three days of it. If anyone thinks that my life, our lives, is boring and uneventful, they can read this and scrap that misconception.
I began my week with my first ever Reiki treatment. When ‘Googled’, Reiki can be defined as ‘a form of therapy that uses simple hands-on, no-touch, and visualization techniques, with the goal of improving the flow of life energy in a person. Reiki (pronounced ray-key) means "universal life energy" in Japanese, and Reiki practitioners are trained to detect and alleviate problems of energy flow on the physical, emotional, and spiritual level.’ http://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/reiki

Here, for your viewing pleasure, is my perfect day.

Welcome to freefall… I'm in my late twenties. My great loves are the creative arts, particularly music and creative writing. I have cerebral palsy (CP). In my case it means that I can't walk very easily - I use a chair most of the time. More about me…

I was watching one of those make over shows last night where one of the contestants had recently had his leg amputated. In the end, they gave him a new ‘high tech’ prosthetic leg and he commented that, as a result, he felt like a ‘whole’ person for the first time since his accident.
It’s a very personal issue. We will all have a different perspective on it. I understand his sentiment. I understand the feeling of being ‘less’ or ‘not as good’ when I compare myself to others (which we should never do, but do anyway … particularly as women). That said, I have to add that I’ve never felt ‘incomplete’ because of my disability or any other reason.
