Reconnecting

Today, I went for a session of "reconnection" done by my friend and Reiki practioner, Phyllis. She is becoming certified in this healing technique, which she describes as a step above reiki. It was very interesting. In this modality, there is very little actual "laying on of hands". I lay on the massage table, fully clothed, and Phyllis, in her words, channels Source energy to my body, to be used however it needs to be used for healing. It was very peaceful and relaxing, and one thing I did notice that after being on the table on my back for about an hour, it was very easy for me to sit up afterwards. Many times, after massage or reflexology, getting upright again is kind of difficult. Most of the time, Phyllis was near the table, but at least one time, she was away from the table, near the door of the room we were in. She said often she is led to move around during a session.

I actually "saw" things. Normally, during a massage or reflexology session, I don't really "see" in terms of playing out scenarios in my head, etc. I just sort of drift away. Today, I saw a hawk, red-tail. I was driving towards the parking lot of a bank which is actually down the street from the office where I was having my session. The hawk was flying above me, then came down and landed in the parking lot right by the car. I leaned out of the car window to look at it, and it just looked back at me. Right then, there was some kind of loud noise in the building, and I was abrubtly "brought back". Then, a bit later, I saw the strange image of a pair of dice (paradise?) in a trash can, just a small kind of plastic can like you might have in a bedroom or bathroom. Am I throwing away paradise? How? Am I disregarding that I am actually IN paradise now? Hmmm. Finally, I was mentally and visually free associating, and for some reason Kirk Douglas popped into my head, well, Spartacus to be more exact, gladiator mode. It was during the scene when Spartacus fights a battle, then throws the spear into the audience, only it was ME throwing the spear. At that time, my right arm JERKED, as if I actually were throwing it! And at the same time, I have been having lots of pain in my arm from much typing (I'm a transcriptionist), and I felt as if the pain was in the spear being "tossed out" of my arm.

Afterwards, Phyllis and I went over the session. I had also felt a very strong pulse in my jawline at the beginning of the session, not something I had ever been conscious of before. All in all, I thought it was very beneficial, and I am definitely going to schedule another session after I get back from the Vision Quest in June.

Here's to reconnection and experimentation!
