Kind of a cool interlude from my journal that isn't too personal to share here. I've been dabbling semi-seriously and verrrry slowly in ADF's Dedicant Path in an effort to work in a more formal, complete way.
Ash offered some reiki for my shoulder, so we settled onto the couch together and she put her hands on me. I was feeling a bit out of focus, full of things I wanted to do and impatience with my shoulder, so I closed my eyes and worked the Two Powers - roots into the deep, leaves gathering energy from the sky. I was able to set down the buzzing in my head and simply breathe and feel what Ash was doing. Drifting a bit in my trance, I visualized also lighting the First Fire -
"spirit of my spirit
flesh of the gods' flesh
beautiful fire of inspiration
be welcome into your home"
- and it intensified what I was doing to the point where I took an involuntarily deeper breath in. We worked together on my shoulder for a bit that way.
After, Ash told me that she'd noticed a strange phenomenon. Instead of the energies seeming the usual blacks or browns of injury, or the blues or greens of healing, all she saw was white. She'd never seen that before while working. I told her then what I had been doing at the time and we agreed the energy types had worked well together. I promptly went to my altar with an offering. My shoulder zinged and buzzed for a good long time after.
