Over the past several months, I've taken several advanced Energy classes, in an effort to enhance my own Energy Work, and my Energy Work/Reiki practice. None has brought about such interesting results, as the group emotional clearing that was done for us.

Prior to performing the clearing, our instructor, Judy DiCanio, advised us that we might become very tired, lethargic, restless or even fidgety, during and after the clearing. My personal reactions to the clearing were much more than I anticipated or expected.

About halfway through the clearing, my right arm became extremely itchy. Itchy, as in poison ivy, itchy. Later that evening, I was still scratching my right arm, in the crux. I had developed a reaction. As a result of this clearing, I had developed a poison ivy rash, in the crux of my arm, in the shape of a three inch circle. The rash occurred no where else on my body. I had just contracted poison ivy, while in a class room, in February. After the class, I went directly home. I did not walk near any woods, or any weeds.

Later that evening, as I was undressing for bed, my husband asked what I had done, to have such a large bruise on my chest. I had no idea what he was talking about. I turned and faced the mirror in our bedroom, and saw a large, fresh, dark black, blue and purple bruise, which encompassed nearly half of my breast, and upward towards my shoulder. As we looked closer, we could clearly see that the bruise was in the shape of a foot, or a shoe. It looked as though I had been involved in a physical battle, and that someone had kicked me!

I did not have this bruise, or any bruise on my chest, when I got dressed that morning. It became obvious that this bruise, along with my poison ivy rash, had been a direct result of the clearing that I participated in, earlier that day.

In explaining these reactions to our instructor, DiCanio explained that both had been the result of karmic clearing, from past lives. We agreed that the clearing had been a success for all who had participated, but the reactions varied, from student to student. My reactions were the only ones that were clearly physical, as a result of past life issues that needed to be addressed.

I've been psychic since I was a yound child. I am just now, growing my Energy Work practice, along with my psychic practice. If you have any questions, my e-mail is: ptah600@epix.net
