Wow, time has flown since I have written anything on my blog. Its not that Reiki has been silent in my life, by any means, it is active, alive and I am doing well.

This summer I moved my small boat, Shatoosh, an Albin 25, from the Columbia River in Oregon to Tacoma, Washington a distance of over 450 miles. We crossed the dangerous Columbia River Sand Bar and headed north along the coastal waters of the Pacific Ocean. This section of water can be really rough and stormy. Prior to leaving, my twin and Reiki Master Jean Ferris and I laid out the charts on a table with all the different legs of the trip and treated each one with Reiki.
We could feel some rough water in some sections but after treating it with Reiki, the energy flowed nicely as we moved our fingers over the charts. As I approached departure day, many storms had been brewing, but the scheduled departure was met with calm seas, a full rainbow, whales passed our bow and dolphins jumped out of the water to greet us.
We met with similar events along each leg and while storms were seen all around us, we were always in the center with calm seas and no wind. My trip became a beautiful event each day and I arrived at my home port safe and sound.
When we practice Reiki we become a part of the still center, the calm eye of the storm, while chaos and confusion prevails all around us, we remain still and then can perform our best action. This is what Reiki teaches us.
