Purple Dragon

Well, breaking with the current set of postings I have made of late, I am going to post something cheerful!

Yes, this is still Purple Dragon - she of the miserable pity party posts.

Anyway, I have booked myself on a course. Reiki I. It is a two day course in Aberdeen (3rd and 4th May), learning about Reiki and getting my first attunement. I visited the website of the woman who does the training and attunements, and I felt very comfortable with her - almost like I know her. Actually I probably do if she FreeCycles LOL

I shall do my Reiki I and then start working towards my Reiki II and also the Metamorphic training.

I'm very excited about the whole thing, and think about it quite a bit.

Anyone else here have their Reiki?

I asked my man what he thought I should do, when I was thinking about booking myself on and he said "Let the Force guide you". Cheeky sod.

Here's a little reminder that Downshifting Week is about to start tomorrow (Saturday 19th to Friday 25th).

I'm sure you're already doing a lot to downshift and simplify your life, but it's always good to have a reminder!

I have decided that I cannot eat another living thing, so my alternative is to go vegetarian.

My experience of veggies are peas, carrots, and mushrooms and the ever faithful potato. Naturally, a diet of this would soon make me magnificently nutritionally deficient!

Does anyone have any ideas for learning about this, and going in the right direction? I need recipes and nutritional advice.

Do you ever stop and think about death?

I have been thinking about that moment between life and death. That split second between possibility and infinity. One moment, there is life, a heart beat, breath, thought, animation. All the chemical responses and electrical impulses that go to make up a living, breathing creature.

Then, suddenly, between one heart beat and the next, that all stops. Life is irrevocable. Gone. Ended. You can't grab it back. You can't pull someone back from the brink.

Where does the energy go? Physicists have us believe that no energy can be destroyed. Is that the part we call the soul?

How can someone murder someone else? How can they bring themselves to extinguish that fragility?
