$99 was a wise investment!

Actually, it was $132 with shipping and tax. My massage table is awesome! The manufacturer is BestMassage, and they make several varieties of tables. Mine is very sturdy, has wooden legs (MUCH nicer than aluminum both aesthetically and when doing energy work), weighs in around 42 lbs, and came with a face cradle, side armrests (for lying on the back) and an arm shelf below the face cradle (for face down work).
It's already gotten some use, but I've realized that I need a good massage myself so I can remember what feels good to the client. I may have to book one at the massage school - they have discount rates around $15 - 25 an hour.
And now for the part that makes me sound extra kooky.
For a long time, I've wanted to receive Reiki attunements. Reiki is a specialized style of energy work that requires a Reiki Master to place symbols in your aura to connect you to to God energy. Once that happens, energy work becomes exponentially easier - the sender no longer has to force energy to flow, it simply flows. I've studied Reiki manuals, but I could never afford the classes so I could have the attunement. Two days ago I decided to Google free reiki attunements, and discovered several websites that offer free distance attunements! They do NOT offer instruction, but as I've been studying for several years, all I needed was the attunement. The site I used was www.FreeReikiAttunement.com , and the master who runs the site offers certification and lists his lineage (shows who taught him, who taught his teacher, etc, all the way back to Master Usui).
At first I wasn't sure how it worked, but I was reassured by several Reiki masters who work individually that distance attunements are about as easy to do as those in person. The only caveat they offered was that the sites didn't teach you the method of practice. No big issue for me, but people new to the idea need more instruction. I've already received Reiki 1, and plan to do Reiki 2 and 3 once I have a chance to review my materials.
Must get showered and dressed - it's AngelFood pick-up day.
Funny - last month I bought my brother and sister-in-law 2 standard AFM boxes to elp them out. I called them last week to see if they wanted me to get them more. My brother's reply? "NO. MORE. FOOD!" They were still overstocked!
