Tea with a Reiki Teacher

What exactly is reiki? Well, my teacher put it best, it's a tool to have the spiritual life force (i.e., chi, qi, prana) on tap whenever you need it.
After "tea", I went to the grocery store and did other mundane errands. I enjoyed every minute of the mundane, I was living in the present (no, I don't generally smile like a clown at TJ's). Afterwards, girlfriends came over and we hit the pool with the little ones and cooked dinner together. After everyone left, I couldn't shake off this heaviness on my heart.
My heart felt constrained. I wanted to cry. I was all sorts of emotional. I didn't feel good. But I knew what this was, and more importantly I had a solution! Both of my bffs are going through heart woes -- break ups. They are hurting. This heart-hurting vibe/energy rubbed off on me. I haven't felt this way in a long time. It's been many many years since my heart has hurt like this (so much gratitude for my life partner). I googled a guided meditation on youtube to ground myself and cleanse myself of this negative energy. As soon as the meditation was over, I felt light and not heavy.
I haven't even started doing reiki yet! But already, I feel connected.
