I guess my first statement would be whoever said time flies when you are having fun was correct. They must be the same person who said the older you get, the faster it flies!
Let's see, I started the month off with my newest studies in the Japanese "Art of Living" called Jin Shin Jyutsu. I had been working with a wonderful new healer who was giving me long distance treatments and suggested I learn how to do it for myself. She said she was self taught in this Japanese art of healing so why not add it to my studies? I believe it is helping me with some digestive issues. I know for sure it makes things twitch and tingle when I use my hands as jumper cables and touch certain points, much like acupuncture, and help the energy flow on through.
One thing I want to share with you is what I will call a Japanese finger meditation. If you take your left hand and hold your right thumb and take 3 deep breaths, now move to your right pointer finger and hold that in your left hand and take 3 deep breaths, now your middle finger and take 3 deep breaths, now your ring finger, 3 deep breaths and now your little finger and take 3 deep breaths. Now with your right hand grasp each finger on your left hand and take 3 deep breaths on each one. The thumb is the meridian of worry, your pointer finger is your fear, your middle finger is your anger (I wonder if that is where sticking your middle finger up came from:), your ring finger is for grief and your little finger is for when you are trying too hard. Reflexology makes sense, and, if nothing else, you have just taken 30 deep breaths and you KNOW that is good for you!
Spent a week with Grandmaster Fu at a workshop in Coral Gables. It was a fantastic 4 days of intensive healing studies. I will never forget Grandmaster's wonderful sense of humor. Those Chinese, they pretty smart folks! No wonder they live so many years practicing energy cultivation every day. I am so thankful for the blessing of being able to study Qi Gong.
After the week of Emei Qi Gong I went up to Jacksonville and spent the day (May 8-Red's and my wedding anniversary:) there with a friend while she had a test which required her to have someone there with her for a few hours afterwards to make sure she came out of the anesthesia without complications. She was pretty "out of it" and was glad I was able to hang with her. We got to spend a few days together at her condo in North Palm before going up to Jacksonville too, and, as always, had a wonderful time. I taught several classes while there to folks in the condominium complex and a lovely new friend who practices acupuncture (and lived about 5 miles away from where I was staying-we met in Boston on a bus at the airport-go figure!)
The new tenant here at the lake house is working out very well. He is here from Monday night through Friday morning and I can be here during the day while he is at work and then I have my home to myself every weekend. Now I really get paid to travel! The weekends have been filled with planting banana trees, oregano, basil, and lots of plants that will hopefully flourish. It rained for 17 days straight here so they have gotten a good start!
Flew to Ithaca for Cornell's graduation (Jason is getting his masters in science education) and then we were supposed to drive his van back to Florida. Had to fly up a whole week early so went and stayed with my dear friend, Dolores-we ventured over to Lily Dale on Lake Cassadaga and spent a lovely 48 hours at this psychic-spiritualist community before returning to Ithaca and hiking gorge after gorge after gorge!
She brought me to my son's apartment on my birthday and I spent a few days with him, helping him pack his stuff. Unfortunately, his Vanagon decided it wanted to spend the summer in Ithaca-3 mechanics and still no idea why it stalls after a few minutes. He handled the change in plans very well and we got cheap flights and arrived in Orlando Thursday.
Oh, the 678 page book I have written, 9 Months Ago Was Yesterday, was officially uploaded for copyright on May 18, 2009. I will be delivering letters to publishers over the next few months. Wish me luck.
The house in Georgia is listed with Century 21 (FMLS #3898322) if anyone is interested. I am asking $195,000 and I hate to let it go, but I can't pay the mortgage any longer.
So, life is going well, I realize daily how blessed I am and I am loving studying quantum physics and the unified string theory...I believe some day these theories will be the proof some people need to understand there is a "universal life force" that has been around since the beginning of time.
Next month will bring me back to Brooksville, to Key West and then, after a dentist appointment on the 19th, I will hang at home for the weekend and head for Atlanta and points north after that. Hope to see you somewhere, sometime:) Peace and Smiles, Diane
