So... apparently, I was so cryptic in that last post everyone thought something was wrong when I was actually describing something positive... *chuckles* Allow me to explain...
A few years ago, I was strongly considering Massage Therapy as a career path. I got a lot of information on it, even checked out a school in NJ that looked pretty good. But ultimately, I reached the conclusion that at that time I really wasn't doing it for myself... it intersected with some of my interests, but if I had done it at that time it would have been in Eyovah's memory, and not because it was really what I wanted to do with my life, whether it might be that too or not So I set it aside.
Recently, though, I came to the abrupt realization that it is again an option for me. I've reached a point in my own growth, and in my personal healing, where I believe I am capable of looking objectively at massage therapy as a career option and deciding based on how well it would really fit me.
This realization was contributed to by the recent hands-on Reiki work that I have been doing with the Taijutsu club (professional reiki in many areas is the province of licensed massage therapists) and also by both giving and receiving a massage in Taijutsu. It let me see that it really is something I could enjoy doing, and also helped me see the healing side of Reiki more directly.
I haven't made any decisions yet, and don't intend to for some time. I have a lot to look into before making a decision of that magnitude. But, the option is there again. And that's a pretty exciting thing for me.
