One week to the day since I last posted. What a week it has been. My wife, middle daughter and I have been taking a class on Chinese energy work; it is call Long life Gevity. If you have every heard or experienced Reiki you know something about it. There are differences in that Reiki have symbols and you can charge for the session where as this training states you cannot charge and it is based in meditation.
The meditation is very critical to me as I have never felt I know how to meditate or even what it was. I remember my mother questioning meditations as being something weird or even bad. I am unclear on why she felt that way and since she passed in 2001 I can’t ask her.
In my class on Long Life Gevity I had a leader who was very strict and said breathing with eyes open and focus on a single spot for 5 breaths then close eyes and breathe normally. After about 10 minutes he said we will now end our meditation. I didn’t even know I was meditating, go figure. All this time in the past I had been over complicating something so simple. There were no mantras or clearing the mind or sitting in the lotus position, just sitting comfortably eyes closed. Interestingly enough my mind went where it went and after a while just quieted down by itself.
The class is taught in Mandarin and I don’t speak Mandarin but they had headsets with elders translating into English. It didn’t take long before I had totally tuned out the part of it being translated and I was able to follow along. I could look at this as pluralism experience as I was totally immersed in the Taiwanese/Chinese culture. The class was run the same as it is in China with all the customs and respect of the Teacher and leaders. Even the broken English was beautiful. What a neat experience.
The work done is called an adjustment. With my adjustments I have ask for work on my lower back where I have problems and with my sinuses. Teacher says that you will experience discomfort and even pain as you heal. I was not sure what to expect as my back is always giving me pain. What I noticed is that the pain is different. I can tell something is changing and I hesitate to look to critical at what the change is because I tend to over analyze everything which leaves in strange places and mostly incomplete.
Well I need to say that my wife is getting better looking and it is not just me saying it. I have been telling her she getting better with age and she say she is just happy now. Hummm, very interesting.
Well going to sign off for now
Thy will not mine be done.
