Namaste all my friends,
It has been a long long time since I have been here. I have been keeping to myself mostly, for the past couple of months. So, I will begin by wishing you all, and all of yours, a very happy, peaceful, harmonious, and prosperous year. May it bring you all that you need, desire, and hope for. This is late I know, and I appologize, but the intention is the same...love and light!
I have felt that I do not have much to say, and so therefore just kept quiet and still. The past 6 monhts as some of you may know were very difficult, and still are at this time. One of the lessons that I was to be learning, and still working on it was a surrendering...of fear, expectations, and some more. I am still working on it.
I have just been focusing on within for this time, and have been trying meditations during this time (which I believe have helped tremendously, even though short, online meditations). I have done, or at least tried to do 2 consequitive 21 day Reiki Retreats. The first felt very generic and bland. However, the second which just finished this past sunday was with Vinny. It was wonderful, like coming home. Vinny puntuated with his own style and included a reading from different sources, directions, and school of thought for each day. This provided a wealth of information and practice. I am truly appreciative of all that he shared with all who cared to ask or look. It was a life line for me.
During the past few months, and due to all these practices, my worst times were just a simple calm, and my best was peace, gratitude, and joy. I have also gone beyond the fears I had of owing money, and the ideas (unspoken) of not being able to pay what I owe, and applied for counsellor training and was accepted. Now I wait on the student loan approval. This is huge for me, as $1 owed was too difficult a burden for me to carry. My situation has not improved, but slightly worsened, in the financial sense, but my perspective and outlook has changed.
I am glad to be back among you all, and will try to read back all or most of the posts that I have missed. I do hope you all have been well, and your loved ones (pets included of course).
Blessings to you and yours, always
Dina
