Nine years ago I moved to San Diego from New
York City not knowing what to expect.
Why did I move to San Diego? While here on a visit two years earlier, I was impressed with the beauty
of the coast line; the backdrop of the mountains was just inspiring. [I’m still very much affected by the natural
beauty of this area.] The great weather, the friendliness of the people, and
the energy, as compared to the frenetic activity of New York City, was a balm to me. But that was
just the surface. Underneath it was a feeling of exhilaration, of adventure, of
doing the right thing for me.
The move went really well, everything,
literally, fell in to place. I was here for a reason, or so I felt. I knew only one person in San Diego, and not very well. I didn’t have a
job or a place to live. But a thought kept repeating in my mind, “I’m here to
help, what can I do?” over and over again. Where the thought came from I don’t
know, but I trusted it. I also trusted
that if I kept my awareness open, I would find out why.
I took a couple of office jobs and while
I liked the people I worked with, I didn’t like the work. What to do, what to do? Then one day I heard
a presentation on Reiki. I liked what the speaker said and how she said it; it
felt right. So I started taking classes with her. The more I learned, the more
I wanted to learn. My curiosity was never-ending.
More Reiki learning opportunities came to
me over the years that have made me wonder at the sequence of events that have
lead me to where I am today as a Reiki master, practitioner and teacher. I look
back on it all with wonder. Were unseen hands in it from the beginning? Yes, I would say so.
I’m
here to help, what can I do?
