Hommmmmmm ....

I FEEL liberated. Surprisingly, I haven't yelled at the children since Wednesday and my alcohol intake has depleted.

Suppose I could put it down to what I got upto one night this week. I tracked down a Reiki practitioner and, much to the jibes of even my fondest colleagues, I tripped trapped out to have my inner-being re-tuned. After a half hour chatette, I took to the couch and lay there trying to save myself from an attack of the giggles.

I was asked to close my eyes and fill my head with all things nice while a pink gemmed dowser was hovered over my 1m 83cm horizontal frame. My knee 'told' of the "big decision I was about to make", my heart told her how my emotions were in a bit of a state and my 'third eye' meant any intuition I have is totally off course.

My practitioner then set about curing me of my stress levels and anxieties by placing her healing hands on strategic chakra points of the body. Relaying my session to colleagues the next day resulted in raised eyebrows and smerky smiles but hand on heart, I DO feel 'different'. Perhaps it's a mental thing but I do sense a change in my sometimes irrational behaviour.

The new me will really be tested tomorrow when, after a night out on the town tonight that will probably feature one-too-many-Sambucas, I will put on my best smiles for a one-year-old's birthday party, day of entertaining my cherubs and whatever else the weekend throws at me!
