Reiki Day 5 - Feeling like an apprentice

Being middle aged, it feels funny to be an apprentice again, slopping Reiki everywhere in a very messy fashion.

I notice my hands getting warm and tingly at the oddest times without any regard to conscious intent. Is that uncontrolled talent needing more skill discipline? A new sensation of energies that have always been there? Reiki coaching me to pay attention to an application? My hands just feeling funny like my mouth did when I learned to play the french horn in junior high?

Unlike the frustration I felt in adolescence, I mostly find it funny now. I've drawn attention a couple of times laughing out for no [to viewers] apparent reason.

My favorite is the image of a cartoon character working with something sticky, getting more and more tangled up in it, and ending up all cocooned. I'm not sure why I feel a strong association to this. I can't imagine Reiki being either sticky or tangle-able, but there it is.
