Guest guest Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 I didn't realize I had a story until I signed up to this list but looking back at alot of things throughout my life I feel like I can't treat them as random events because nothing seems random anymore. Since graduating from college I have had the rug of my expectations pulled out from under my feet and I've been lurching around and searching for something. I started doing Tai Chi last year to help ameliorate some physical symptoms that had been plaguing me that no one could diagnose until I went to a Naturopathic doctor who did some acupuncture treatments. Muscle spasms, feeling like jolts of energy where flowing from place to place. The Tai Chi was physically helpful but not emotionally. There was also resistance in me. I kept on looking, for a better teacher more information, but it was more about me then about the instructor. I read about chi, mana, prana, yoga, etc...I even feel like I was being given signs that yoga might be the best bet for me even though Tai Chi was described as yogic. I also became interested in how it seemed all these martial arts originally came from India. This and some myths lead me to follow a train of thought that lead to learning about Kundalini, trying some kundalini yoga online and eventually feeling I needed some help in pursuing this. Ever since I have been getting some signs and being lead into places I never would have approached on my own. I have also been putting together pieces of the past and seeing I was headed this way all along. Right now my focus is on the emotional balance, getting that in check. The Reiki healing session sounds promising. I will look into that.
