Reiki II

Wow what an experience!

Just home from my second Reiki session, and it was better than the first!  I guess this time I knew what to expect, and engaged more with the philosophy (whatever the physiological reality may be!); it was definitely a hugely positive thing to "breath in the energy" being offered by the therapist.  And, whatever the reason, her hands (and my legs) felt a lot warmer than might be expected from simple touching...

As the session came to an end, and definitely afterwards, the feeling of complete well being is undeniable (I'm fortunate that I have an hour's "sit" as Diana is treated with a far more physical therapy - running village fetes and bad backs are not a good combination!)

So, as we (hopefully) come to the end of the 2nd quarter of my fortnightly cycle, I can hope to feel a lot more energetic than these last few days; which as per the norm have been somewhat tiring and more tiresome than normal.  As it happens, I probably have no choice other than to "improve" by Saturday - we're heavily involved with our village's "Open Gardens Weekend" (Diana doing teas!).

All being well, next week will be a quieter social week albeit meeting with my Oncologist on Monday (with all the usual questions.... are my white blood cells recovering?  Is my Mg level satisfactory?  What's my CEA number?  Can we tell anything about the cancer's activity?) 

(*)  The regular cycle of fortnightly meetings with the Centre's Nurse Consultant (dealing with the effects of the treatment on me) alternating with fortnightly sessions with my Oncologist (who's focused more on the effects of the treatment on the cancer) is quite brilliant.
