-- when I give reiki to family and friends it feels like
such an honor. Well, it always feels like an honor when
I give reiki!
I feel so lucky when I do reiki.
It must be similar to a performer.
They practice their songs, they travel
to the concert site,
they wait for the audience to arrive.
And then they get to play their song.

It feels like that to me.
So much preparation, and then I finally get
to do reiki.

I did reiki with a patient today:
end-stage cancer patient.
Another nurse gave him a back rub, and he liked it.
She told me, and I offered to give him reiki.
He was so thin, and in so much pain.
I went in and asked if
I could give him reiki. He said "Yes" right away.
So I did.
I told him he was safe and loved. He fell right asleep.
I got an image of him being rocked to sleep, and
an image of a white dove.

I came out of his room and his nurse told me
that he hadn't let anyone do anything for him,
hadn't let anyone touch him.
She was surprised he let me do reiki.
I'll go back tomorrow.
