Thanks @debtfreewannabe321, @Baileys_Babe, @Cheery_Daff and @PennysIntoPounds, that visual image made me smile 😊 

Aaaaand the week is done! Thank goodness. It’s been hectic. Unfortunately, we are in the laser beam focus of the group QHSE manager atm and he is harassing us for this and that and also, the other, in impossibly short order … 🙄🤷‍♀️

I’m out tonight (which isn’t great planning as Mr KK’s back is bad again - he didn’t go into work again today - he sneezed last night and has been in trouble since …) and it’s so cold I’d rather hunker down and stay in … but it’s the first gong bath my friend has delivered since she broke her femur, so I’m going along to support her. I suspect it will do me good too, to be fair 😊

I have managed to submit both meter readings just now (our balance is building up nicely 😊) and need to get the toscos shop finalised and start my passport application before I go out this evening.

Does Mr KK have a back brace? My friend used to wear one for support when she was really struggling..I could never find one to fit me well but she swore by it. Wondered if it might offer him some extra support when he's bad. 
Enjoy the gong bath! I do enjoy those 🧘🏻‍♀️😌

Enjoy your gong bath. Very jealous. 🥰

Well, I got the Toscos shop finalised but needed a nana nap so the passport form didn’t get done … 😉
Thanks @debtfreewannabe321 and @beanielou 😊 We hadn’t thought of a back brace … we’ll explore that a bit more tomorrow… 🤔

My friend’s gong bath was good, different to how she used to play, but still good. I was right in front of the gong so I got the vibrations from all around me and through the floor! 😊

At the end I gave her Kaji - she gives it to many, many people but I suspect I am the only person she knows now , who can give *her* Kaji. There were still some people there who know what Kaji is and now all of sudden, we will be doing a Kaji evening in January! 😉😂 (I don’t mind, this is aligned with who and what, is the core of me and its good to be able to have the space and energy again to ‘be in’ that part of me … ❤️).

My friend looked really well, so good to see after what she’s been through over the last year 😊

I’ve googled kaji and it’s come up with restaurants etc which I don’t think that’s what your on about. Could you enlighten me please?

It can get quite complicated …
https://ihreiki.com/blog/reiki_and_kaji/
but the simplest way I describe it, is using an empowered stone and chanted mantra to transfer healing (power) to a recipient - doesn’t have to be a human, can be a plot of land, a tree etc. 

I describe it to myself and others as, the energy that plants get from the sun and build into carbohydrates. We then eat that energy through the food chain, in all its forms, which eventually reaches every cell in our body - we then release that energy like little tiny sunbursts in every cell of our body. 🌞 Kaji is a direct stream of a top up to that energy. My intention as a practitioner is to get out of the way! 😉 Which makes it very different to reiki, where you are supposed to direct the energy through your heart centre before passing it onto the recipient. (That felt super weird to me, doing reiki after Kaji!) You can try to direct Kaji, but actually it tends to find its own way, like water, to whatever the recipient needs. Often the recipient has a feeling of peace and being ‘grounded’ and calm after Kaji. 

It takes a bit of effort to get to grips with Kaji - you have to learn to chant the 40 lines of the heart sutra in sino-japanese off by heart. I also mix in various other smaller mantras, such as medicine Buddha, Fudo Myou (a fierce energy that rescues souls from hell realms) or Kannon (boddhisatva of compassion). You also need to be ‘signed off’ as sufficiently embedded and rooted in your practice by your teacher before being taught it - nominally your stone gets empowered 😉 I bought a really pretty one from Glastonbury with embedded ruby - that shade of pink reflects Kannon, but you could find a stone in a river or on a beach - it does help if it’s smooth in profile as you use it on various parts of the head, shoulders, arms and back and it helps if it slides easily. No-one ever sees the stone because you wrap it in silk. But I know what kind looks like ❤️

It’s making me realise quite how woven into my warp and weft it is. Guess that’s why it’s my user name, lying dormant until it was time to reconnect with it 😊
