After almost 20 years of full-time employment I quit my job this year. For me this was a wild, wild thing. I've always believed that you have to work long hours to survive, so going from a nice 40-hour per week job with benefits to no insurance, no income, no plan was a pretty daunting leap and very hard to explain to my parents. :-)
I had got to a place where I did not recognize myself any more. I especially did not like the "me" who sat in the cubicle all day, rolled her eyes and disliked a lot of the other people in the office.
I had been training in Reiki for almost a year at that point and was feeling more and more inauthentic in my daily existence. One day, after a seemingly pointless conference call with several other office managers and administrators I had a revelation. I was the only one who thought this was all dumb and a waste. Everyone else seemed to enjoy their jobs. Who was I then to scoff at the latest corporate edict? It was me that didn't fit. It was me that was in the wrong place and the only thing to do was jump and see where I would land.
Once I had made this startling decision everything made sense. No, I did not (still do not) know where my money is coming from. But I wake up happy every day. I meditate, hike, I'm writing a children's book and, if I'm lucky, I have a Reiki client or two. Life is good and I've learned to be in the moment and eliminate worry and fear. It's been a huge lesson in Faith and Trust. Knowing that I am taken care of, that I am loved, that if I fall I will not die, I will get back up and keeping moving and changing.
I am ready. I am ready for love, real love. I am ready for family. I am ready for abundance. I'm embracing my power, not keeping it hidden. I am lighting up the world. What a wonderful world it is.

- Usui Reiki energy healing for people, pets & places in Los Angeles from the Beaming Hands of Usui Reiki Master Alison Acaster. Balance, restore & relax your mind, body & spirit w/this ancient hands-on healing method. I work with people and pets from all walks of life, in all stages of health. Some people come to me for relaxation and stress relief or to remove creative blocks, I have other clients dealing with cancer, insomnia and spinal injuries. Sometimes one session is all that is needed for radical shifts to occur, sometimes a disease or way of being are so ingrained with who we think we are that it takes something to release these blocks and series of treatments will best address the issue. Every being is different, every being is walking their own path and learning their own lessons. I can facilitate in growth and transformation in as much as the person/animal is willing/able to allow in an environment of kindness and compassion.
