Thank you Conflagration and Ponderings.
Ponderings, you always have a loving way of saying things, and I cherish that quality in you!
I do hear both of your points. The funny thing is that I've only been learning Chios for a week. I was attuned to level 2 this past Wednesday. I probably do have unreasonable expectations of myself, as I've been comparing my progress with that of Reiki. Chios is a different modality, with different rate of internalizing (for me at least).
I've decided to:
1) try to be more relaxed and let go of my expectations as I continue to practice
2) give it a fair chance by continuing to practice without expectations for long enough to make a more objective decision about how it has helped or not helped me develop into a stronger healing channel.
Thanks to all of you for helping me get my head back on straight.
Love & light,
Alice
