Description
Uh, don't know what to put here. I'm 23, I live in northern VA outside of Washington DC. In college I was a Chemistry/Forensic Science major and my research in chemistry lead me to Quantum Theory which in turn led me to Eastern Philosophy and then I found Reiki. I received my Reiki 1 attunement in August of '03 and it has enriched and changed my life so dramatically and cannot encapsulate it into words.
Questionaire
General questions
What do you do for a living?
I am currently and Editorial Assistant in the Journals Department for the American Society for Civil Engineers
What religions or philosophies of life do you believe in?
For lack of any better answer I'd have to say Buddhism. Although I believe that all paths lead to the same source. If your karma is balanced and you learn the lesson need to learn in this life then you're good!
What are your favorite books?
Thats an incredibly difficult question. 'Many Lives, Many Masters' by Brian Weiss had an incredible impace on my life. 'The Tao of Physics' and 'The Dancing Wu-Li Masters' were also excellent books. In my studies of metaphysics and Reiki, I havn't had much time for pleasure reading, but when I do I enjoy comedic novels in the vein of 'The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy' and stuff like that.
What type of books do you like to read?
I'd have to say that my favorite type of book is anything that will leave a lasting impact on me. Be it a good fiction book or a book on Reiki, if you walk away with an experience or knowledge that you didn't have before, then its a good book!
What type of movies or television shows do you watch?
I watch all sorts of movies, but not too much TV (But I did have a VERY unhealthy thing for 'The Apprentice'). My fav movies are any good comedies
What kind of music do you like?
Oh No! There isn't enough text to adequatly fill in this box. I like every genre of music seperatly. I'd have to say that The Barenaked Ladies are my favorite band, followed closely by Cake, Muddy Waters, Evanesence, Nora Jones, and a number of others. I love music in all genres as long as its genuine. Manufactured, soul-less music is pointless to me.
What type of foods do you like to eat?
Well, i'm better with food that I was. As i've stated before, I'm a beginner on my path. I previously enjoyed too much food too often, but before my Reiki 1 attunement I decided to start honouring my body. Since then I've lost 60 lbs and have changed my eating quite a bit. But i'd have to say that the food I most enjoy eating is still chocolate :-)
Do you consider yourself to be more of a conservative or liberal person?
Depends on the issue!
What do you like to do for fun?
Go places! I love a good road trip on a sunny day. I have a convertable so any chance I get to drive with the top down is a good time. I like spending time with my g/f and my friends and family. Whenever I get the chance, I enjoy reading and practicing Poi (Poi is a type of fire-dancing).
What are some of your interests?
Reiki, reading, computers, movies, metaphysics, chemistry, making new friends, poi dancing (see above), spending time outside... lots more!
What achievements in your life are you most proud of?
I have issues with my ego... my largest obstacle in my path is abolishing my ego (because it can get out of hand at time). Because of this, I will pass answering this question.
Reiki questions
What Reiki level are you?
Practitioner
How did you find Reiki and how long have you been involved with Reiki?
I found Reiki on a cyclic journey. I was previously a Chemistry major. My studies in Quantum Theory opened my mind step-by-step over a progression of years. Eventually I ended where I began and discovered Reiki
What style or styles of Reiki do you practice?
Currently I am practice Usui Reiki lvl 2. I hope to recieve my Reiki 3 attunement when I am ready for it
What other (if any) healing modalalites have you practiced besides Reiki?
I have found that the Quantum Touch technique helps Reiki, but I am a beginner on the path and currently I am centered on Reiki
