Thanks!

Yes I agree..although exaggerated, Portlandia is steeped in truth...fun town, we visit often.

Welcome to TTB. Nice pic and name. Surprised it wasn't already taken.

I have practiced Usui Reiki off and on for 15 years (level II). Honestly, I have only had one time where I felt poorly or 'sick' after a session, and the person I was working on had serious, deep emotional issues. Otherwise, it has always left me feeling energized. As far as energy collection, I personally do Iron Shirt Qigong and microcosmic orbit before hands-on healing, so perhaps this helps as a buffer? Great discussion!

Hello! I am a simple traveller putting down roots in the Pacific Northwest this time around the wheel. I was searching for info on the Taoist Canon and picked up on a thread here at tao Bums, so here I am. Looking forward to joining the community!
