| I often ask myself "Is the discovery of all this | | | | death. We are change. And yet we forget this - |
| new Reiki information helping my Reiki teaching | | | | trying to tie ourselves down, resisting that which |
| and practice?"- and this is my answer to myself... | | | | is natural. Mc Donald's hamburgers are so popular |
| The wonderful world of Reiki is changing minute | | | | not because they taste good but because they |
| by minute. Tick, tick, tick. | | | | never change. You can buy that same hamburger |
| I find that with each new day I am presented | | | | wherever you are in the world and that is |
| with more insights into the history of Reiki. I | | | | comforting - aaaah. Change can be traumatic, |
| occasionally ask myself, 'What is the use of that?'. | | | | unexpected or down right ugly (let's not forget |
| But when Reiki is your way of life it can make a | | | | exciting, stimulating and adventurous). Sometimes |

| Continually looking at what we teach and how we | | | | with interesting information but may lead us on a |

| It is humbling to know that what we once knew | | | | files in my head with more fascinating data. Tick, |
