12. Time Flies

Well, I can't think where the last month has gone! I've been so busy with volunteering, studying for my crystal therapy course, getting ready to start my Anatomy and Physiology and Massage course at Thomas Danby in September that I haven't had chance to update my blog for a while. I'm regularly donating reiki treatments to cancer patients at the Robert Ogden Macmillan Centre which has been very rewarding so far and I have had marvellous feedback and repeat appointments made. I'm knuckling down to my crystal course now too which is proving really fascinating and is beginning to make clear why crystals work as a healing tool. It's all about light and energy. Without light (i.e. the Sun) there would be no life so harnessing the powers of different colours in the light spectrum through crystals (whose colour is dictated by what colours they reflect) we can direct the particular properties of that light for relevant purposes. The life-giving energy of white light is recognised in many healing systems (e.g. as Chi, Ki, Prana etc). It connects us to the universal life force that keeps us alive and in perfect health.

I am very excited about attending enrolment for my first VTCT (Anatomy & Physiology with Swedish Body Massage) course this Thursday. I'm really looking forward to cracking on with this course and can't wait to get my uniform (which includes clogs!) and text book.

I'm fully insured as a Reiki Practitioner now with full Professional Indemnity Insurance and am a member of two professional bodies now: The National College of Holistic Medicine as a full member and the Federation of Holistic Therapists as a Student Member.

I've also made a start on some advertising - I've been using Google Adwords for a while now but I have recently invested in a basic Search Engine Submission package which I hope will pay off. In addition I'll be in the latest Yellow Pages which comes out in September. I'm also on Yell.com, Gumtree and in Friday Ads.

So, I'm feeling very positive and pleased about my progress so far.

Love and blessings

Anna
