the time will never be 'just right.'

Start where you stand,

and work with whatever tools

you may have at your command,

and better tools will be found

as you go along."

I got GAZED!

Braco (pronounced Brah-tzo)

came to Hawaii this week.

"Who is Braco," I wondered,

when I saw the story about him on KITV.

(video below)

As a REIKI practitioner,

my mind has already been opened to the

seemingly incredible idea that

pure, loving, healing energy

can be felt, and can reliably be

(for lack of a better word)

channeled.

I started out as a very logical,

grounded, materialist thinker.

Accepting unprovable things as true

always struck me as as an intellectual

and moral

sell-out.

Dangerous.

But slowly,

year by year,

I have learned that there is much in this world

that is yet undreamed of in our conceptions.

And in my lifetime

I have seen those conceptions grow in scope.

When I was a kid, acupuncture was mocked,

and lot's of physicians were smokers.

What we "Know"

changes every day.

REIKI is illogical,

but it is undeniable to me now.

I don't understand HOW it works,

just that it DOES.

(Like my car, and the internet)

I have worked with Dr. Hong,

a physician and Qi Gong master

who is attached to the University of Hawaii

John A. Burns School of Medicine;

My results are undeniable,

and launched a whole new phase of life

for me.

I have attended Soul Singing sessions

with Dr. Sha

whose books are New York Times best sellers.

The energy there was familiar too.

It has been hard intellectual work,

and prayer,

and life experience,

that has brought me to the point

of utilizing these things.

So how was it at yesterday's gazing session?

The first thing I noticed was a real

glow

around the people running the event.

I've learned to recognize a certain

beauty

as the result of being well atuned

to the loving, healing, forces of the universe,

and these people had it.

Not fake smiles,

just a discernible, genuine, and attractive

"glow"

like I have observed growing in myself.

I recognized the feeling

when Braco came out.

Yes, he just stands there,

gazing.

Not making eye contact,

not sweeping the room,

just standing and gazing.

It felt good.

I was especially relaxed the rest of the day,

slept even better than usual,

and my sore shoulder is almost

completely without twinge.

Worrying about the why's

and hows

of life,

sometimes prevents us from

simply experiencing it.

REIKI taught me how very much I lived from the neck up,

I have discovered my body

and am much more comfortable in my skin,

and in life,

than I have ever been.

I keep learning, and growing,

understanding just comes easily

now.

All of this is coming to the world's surface-thinking lately.

Trust your instincts to warn you

of charlatans.

Beware of sales routines.

But thousands of people in Europe

have gone numerous times

to be gazed at by Braco,

Many around the world

have sung with Dr. Sha.

Something is afoot

and I'm very happy to be dancing along.

Free your mind;

and the rest will follow.

Warm Aloha, cloudia
