I don’t know how many different practitioners I thought I would see before I found my teacher, but it happened fast.  I had a good feeling about Michelle from my first interactions with her through her web site and e-mail, and then again in person on both Saturday and Sunday last weekend.

Tonight, I e-mailed her and asked to take Reiki I with her.  My left-brained self, despite having made up my mind, thought I should do some research/due diligence, so I asked her for references and I also mentioned that I’d read that some in the Reiki community feel that lineage is important, so perhaps she could share hers with me (that is, who was her teacher, and who was their teacher, etc.).

She replied with some references and said she’d rather discuss lineage over the phone and would be available for me to call her on Saturday.
