Point of no return

I never forget what a childhood friend of mine said after he learned to play the drums.
Well, I guess I forgot slightly as this is not a direct quote but more of a general gist:
music is forever changed- it will never be the same.
The breakdown doesn't ruin music- it just takes you to a place where you can't go back to not knowing.

Le Point of no return

And if you are still following me- this is how I feel about the reiki atunement. I've had hives, I've had a cold. I've had dreams and an increase of goosebumps- I usually thought all of my goosebumps just meant I should be a record producer or something (who would get chills when appropriate talent came in..) but I now seem to get them when I am recounting a story that is meaningful, listening to a particular song, more often than ever before.
(no locusts yet, so thats good)

The other thing that is changing with me is:
I really don't feel like drinking alcohol.

The same is true for meat. It's bizarre.

I liked having a couple of glasses of wine, a few beers, or a drink of any kind. I love to stay out late. I love loud music and doing those types of things. I thought I enjoyed the escape. But since the atunement. I'm not deliberately abstaining. I just don't want to.

It feels good. I have complete ownership of the following day & I just feel great. But, it kind of goes back to my sentiment in the very beginning of teacher training: it's lonely at the top.

So, to those of you who consider getting atuned for reiki energetic healing, here is your warning.

You may not like to do the things, you've convinced yourself to like.
You will also probably, start getting up much earlier and really feeling great, most of the time :)
