Hi again,

I am simply the maiden priestess of Heritage Nativist Temple, age 18,
living in Piqua, Ohio. I joined the Correllian Nativist Tradition in
the winter of 2004; I became a dedicant in Spring 2005 at Lustration
in Hoopeston, IL. I'm currently studying Computer Information
Technology in college.
My experience with energy work (not sure if it's exactly Reiki):
I have been a so-called 'hand-healer' since I was about 12 years old.
My grandmother first called me a 'hand-healer' because when she had
back-aches, I would press my hands to her back and relieve the pain
just by touch.

A friend of my grandmother's has blood clots in her calves, and I used
the same concept to break up the clots while massaging with maslac.

My grandfather has arthritis in his left hand, so bad it curls up his
fingers. I used energy to stretch the fingers and lessen the
arthritis every time I visited my grandparents, and he regained a lot
of flexibility again. I don't think he is comfortable admitting that
I used 'something other than just massaging' to help him, but he asks
me to 'do whatever it is you do' every time I see him.

Rodney (Chief Priest of Heritage Temple) has terrible circulation in
his legs, so I just "untie" the blocks in the circulatory system right
around his knees where the major blockage is, like untangling a messy
ball of yarn.

As for expectations... well I don't know what to expect. I have had
Reiki used on me and it is a wonderful feeling; I've always wanted to
give that feeling to others.
