Elaine,
I'm definitely still learning, but I do have a few thoughts. I think the first step is in becoming sensitive to energy is to understand that energy flows independently from yet connected to our physical body. Reiki is good for that. I practice traditional yoga, which has the benefit of getting the energy circulating. As I've started to develop the ability to sense and move energy around, I've brought that into my meditation practice with interesting results.
For me, exploring the connectedness of all of these aspects of our being is fascinating. That intangible energy and physical body and consciousness interact in ways that open up new experiences is revolutionary to our rational reductionist assumptions.
My sticking point is where to go from here. I've considered training in Reiki or some other practice of external manifestation of energy. Please share some thoughts from your workshops and reading if you don't mind.
--Andy
