Greetings!

I have been told that I may have little to no access to the Internet while I am away but the data I gathered doing research in preparation for my journey was so prolific that I decided to use it to create the following series. This, then, is a chronicle of the situations and events that led up to my going to China.  I hope to continue the sharing of my journey as best I can during my absence but if indeed I have no access to the Internet I will complete this series upon my return….

It is with the strong desire to increase and expand my healing abilities for myself and all sentient beings, that I undertake my 100-day China Pilgrimage.

Pilgrimage Part 1 In religion and spirituality, a pilgrimage is a long journey or search of great moral significance. Sometimes, it is a journey to a shrine of importance to a person’s beliefs and faith. Members of many major religions participate in pilgrimages. A person who makes such a journey is called a pilgrim.  Wikipedia

In the beginning
Through-out history, and found in ancient texts of every religion and spiritual school of thought, are descriptions of pilgrimages made by sincere individuals who were striving for a higher perspective in understanding our world and how we, as beings living upon it and within it – are connected. In most cases the focus of the pilgrimage was a striving to understand the eternal questions – Why am I (are we) here?  Why is there so much suffering in my life and in the world? How can I become one with my God?

Through-out my 30-plus years as a spiritual adviser and energy healer, I have been constantly striving to gain a higher perspective of understanding in how our world works and how I can be of benefit with in it. It has become increasingly important to me to be a healing presence on the planet. This was why I became so excited about Reiki when I was attuned to it 20 odd years ago. I realized that by channeling the Reiki Ray of Spiritual Consciousness and Unconditional Love through me and into the world (or an individual) I was actively participating in the healing of the planet. Because of this realization, teaching it to others literally became an act of “spreading the love.”

As I channeled Reiki more and more, I could feel myself growing and expanding spiritually with every class, every treatment and reading I gave. However beginning about 4 years ago, I increasingly started feeling that my growth in this way had reached a point of conclusion. I began to feel that I had completed one level of spiritual development and that now I needed to move to the next level. I kept having the image that where I was in spiritual terms, was analogous to pacing back and forth on the banks of a mighty river that surrounded the Island of Enlightenment. I really wanted to ford this river but the right type of vehicle to help me was just not appearing. Because of this, I began to petition the Universe for help in moving forward on my path to Enlightenment.

And then I “met” Master Yu….
