Thank you, every one, for the warm welcome! =)
Prosperity...
I wish I could say that I knew everything there was to know about my Native Culture, but unfortunately I don't. My mother is non-Native and always taught that the ways of Natives, mainly Shamanism, is not the correct way to believe or live in the spiritual sense. So I was always disuaded from ever knowing such things. As a child, I was always fascinated and drawn to the ideas of Native American spirituality, but that's as far as it ever went.
As an adult, and only just recently, I've begun to explore such topics as a result of wanting to live a more organic lifestyle...which is a whole 'nother story unto itself that I won't bore you with just yet. ;-)
In my searches, I stumbled across The International Center for Reiki Training website and started reading. I shook my head in disbelief...I finally had a name for something I've always wanted to learn about, ever since I was a child overhearing my grandmother discussing "energy healing" techniques with another person. It is Reiki, and low and behold, the Center is located in Michigan, giving me easy access to learn everything I, at one time, only dreamt about. The mere thought of it makes my hands tingle, as if the energy is resting just behind a doorway that is waiting to be opened.
I quickly signed up for a class. =)
I look forward to the life-changing adventure that lay ahead. ;-)
Blessings,
Mandy
