The buzz in the home hive has kept me from blogging this past week or so...it takes me awhile to process and then process some more all the changes and new ventures/adventure that show up. Transitions can be difficult; good or bad, expected or unexpected, planned or spontaneous, they require reflection and patience on my part. I'll attempt to practice both and see where that takes me.

New topic...

I'd like to address an article I read in Conde Naste Traveler Magazine that misrepresented Reiki and several other modalities in a dismissive and condescending manner. The publication physician on staff felt strongly that he should "de-bunk" the myth and value of Reiki yet unfortunately, his sources of information were clearly incorrect and invalid. While I encourage and welcome dialogue regarding complementary therapies, it seems irresponsible for a world-wide publication to misinform its readers. Let's speak openly and truthfully with valid information and experience and allow people to make informed choices about their own self-care. 

Last topic before I go....

I had a chance to read two very different and very interesting books this summer; maybe read them and share your thoughts if you are so inclined..

"The Shamanic Way of the Bee" by Simon Buxton (not sure if its fiction or non-fiction, you decide)

"The Crowning Glory 0f CallaLilly Ponder" by Rebecca Wells (the prolouge is written so beautifully that I hesitated reading the rest for fear of dissappointment!)

sending peace.
