Never really liked diane stein, read her book as you decribed and found it slightly anti-male. But horses for courses.
Dreamt of Indians again the other night. And a stone and its companion with japanese glyphs which I gave to one for the safe keeping of another. Also in the dream a cold summer. But maybe it was the cheese before bedtime that did it. bagl
As for reiki guides and the like, even though I don't think I've ever met any, They may be coming to me in my dreams and role-playing the things I need to get sorted. If so, it'd be very heyokah! (hope I didn't insult by saying that(in case the're listening)) bagl.
Wishing you the best in your quest for healing and peace
smooth sailing.
