The Reiki Cafe 

Greetings from the sea. The fog was so thick you could barely make out the shoreline today. Visibility was less than 1/4 mile. It gave me something to think about in relation to all that has happened. The fog will clear eventually and what kind of a day will there be on the otherside of this fog? Fisherman use days like today to take care of the mundane yet important things ie fixing their nets,ropes traps. Fog also causes us to all slow down and take care and become more watchful. I think I am still trapped in the state of disbelief and shock of all that has happened. There are tears here but they will not come out.I think that I still am standing 'on guard '. Blessings. Beth

Dear Beth,
Funny you brought up fog. Ever since Sept. 11, my dreams are full of grey fog. Every night. I am aware that I am dreaming, and I feel many people moving in the fog, but I cannot SEE what is going on. It feels like there is movement deeply underground and that many people are in the dream with me, having the same dream, under this blanket of grey. It is very strange, and I have never had dreams like this. Occasionally, someone comes in clearly and I have an interaction with them, then all is in a fog again. It feels like I am a giant on top of a world that is dreaming. Very hard to put words to this, but I have also been waking up VERY tired!

Dear Feather
I can only relate my expereinces with fog as this. There are times when I look at fog and see a rosetta stone. The absence of color of anything and think wow this could be anything!! Then ther are other times especiaslly at night when driving that I am very stressed out by fog. I suppose fog it self is not at issue as is what is the feeling behind the fog. My dear feather do you get no rest? day in and day out carrying all these images of this tragic event. Is there a place for you to retreat to a safe harbor perhaps until the fog passes? There is so much energy being emitted from this event and you are certainly very sensitive to all of it. Here's hoping you get a better nights rest. Beth

Thanks, Beth,
Interestingly, I am meeting many people who are having similar experiences, dreaming and waking up more tired than when they went to bed. Actually, when I have my hands on someone with Reiki, I am totally, totally at peace and rest. Have one scheduled for ME later in October. Yeah! I also have found that I need to laugh with friends . Thinking we should just plan alot of parties.
Blessings,
Feather

Hi feather I'm not surprised that you have found alot of people who are having like dreams. I'm glad you found them!! I think I am beginnig to melt down now. I am not a professional mariner my expereince with knot tying was not existence until this job. I'm very uneasy about tying the boats up,sometimes one to another.Needless to say I don't do it well enough for a crusty old lobsterman. When I work on his boat I get nervous before heading in to the dock. The other captains always retie the knots if needed. I don't know why I am rambling on except for after I my knot wasn't tied right today I stared to get upset. I'm mostly upset with myself. I started to well up and began to tear. It occured to me that I have not cried at all since the Sept 11.There were several things aboutthis expereince. first, the fog cleared and it was a pristine day and now I can see clearly. I had to admit my own humaness today and in a fleeting second I felt all that vunrerability. Hoping that some one with enough sense of what is going on is making decisions. I'm afraid if I start to release it I won't be able to stop the tears. Thanks for listening and if you get a chance can you Reiki the ropes on the boats. Thanks. Beth

Hi!
Sent Reiki to those darn knots. I read an essay by a Rabbi who said that it is good for us to feel our vulnerability, for then we deepen our compassion for all of humanity, who are all vulnerable.
Healing and Peace,
Feather

Thanks Feather I appreciate your presence. Will let you know how the knot tying goes tomorrow.(It's been to windy the past few days ) Beth

HI feather your Reiki has hit its mark its interesting when you introduce Reiki to a situation you get a whole new outlook. Yestrday one of the other workers told me that Stu the lobsterman asked if I hated him. I was so shocked because I don't harbor any ill feelings towards anyone. Stu's life is really a hard road ( I thought he was 70 but he's only 50! He has no home he's on Kidney dialysis and he could be a candidate for an organ but he shows up drunk for the appts. I have been putting Reiki in things he touches but I can not Reiki him directly without his permission. He is definely a lesson in compassion. By the way the knot situation is fine now. Blessings Beth
