Certified Massage Therapist !!!

Yesterday I graduated from Crestone Healing Arts Centre!!! By all rights that makes me a 'healing artist'. Now that is something for my gravestone. The day was long. It started with the final test that stood between me and my shiny certificate: the marathon massage. Back to back clients from 8am-1.30pm with no breaks. I knocked out a straight swedish treatment for the first person, then swedish with with some reiki on a broken finger for the second – this was very interesting – as my hand came close to her finger I felt a huge rush of heat go straight up my body and my cheeks turned bright red – then whilst resting my hand over the affected part my palms were sweating and extremely hot. The girl on the table also said out loud “that was intense...”, even though I hadn't told her what I was doing. She said she felt immense heat and lots of tingling in a finger that had been numb and swollen under a plaster cast for days.

The time actually zoomed past, and instead of feeling totally knackered as I expected, I was flying high. I was brought back down very quickly with the mammoth task of cleaning the dojo. End of the session, students clean the dojo for the next group and to clear the energy. I have never been into housework, so this was a painful experience. We even had to wash the walls???!!! Everything was cleaned, no corner left untouched – it took five of us about 4 hours. Hideous. Then we had our graduation ceremony, where my teacher gave each of us a final psychic transmission and cut the energetic cord to end the student-teacher relationship. This was a very special moment, as we all finally realised we had made it, marked with this wonderful ceremony. I realised at this point that my training here has been very special.

Now I am sat in Alamosa, the town I arrived in on a snowy dark night back in February. I am sat in Milagros coffee shop and have 4 hrs til my bus leaves for Albuquerque. The bus office was shut so I have not been able to pick up my ticket, but the staff at this coffee shop have adopted me and one of them is giving me a lift back to the office when her shift ends. So very nice!I will get to Albuquerque at 9pm tonight then get on the bus to Memphis via Oklahoma City. Should get to Memphis tomorrow night – although I have just been told there are storms out that way so there may be delays!!!!!
