What type of Minister am I? That’s a very good question that I’m sure all of you out there are very interested to know the answer to. This isn’t something I’d given a lot of thought about until recently. Well, I am a Healing Minister, but there’s so much more to that in who I am, what I write, and who I aim to be. I’m also a Reiki Master Teacher, a Shaman, a mentor, a student, a significant other to an amazing woman, and a Father. I could go on, but I think you get the point. When it comes to my
Reiki is the essence of life and self-preservation. It is inside the DNA of every living thing on the planet. It embodies the higher self’s connection with the universe, and it is a part of the ebb and flow of life. We are all born with the capacity to heal and maintain our health naturally. Our ancestors used this inherent knowledge, as well as other skills, to preserve not only our lives, but the lives of others as well. Unfortunately, due to the passage of time and the rapid growth of technology
At first, she could see nothing but smoke. Then, from the center of all the vapors she heard with her enhanced senses a cry in pain. Without thinking twice, she ran towards the source of it until she reached a terrified child with a burn on his leg. She started to drag the boy away from the smoke and flames, but yelped when the fire jumped out at her. But, she persevered and made it to the street with the child in hand. When she got a closer look at him, she realized that he could have only been

The speaker simply jumps to the next method of healing, without paying heed to Bibi on a face to face level. This depicts the speaker as someone that wants to heal Bibi, but fails to nurture her, and as the story is driven by the speaker’s words, the tone of the writing mirrors the speaker’s subconscious
Medicine, to the modern day world, is a way of healing the sick and helping people experience life to their full potential. It is an ingredient of a culture that allows the culture to survive through decades and centuries at a time. But what if the medicine that we know as helpful is actually harmful? When a child cuts their knee the first thing an adult would do is check the scrape and then assess the damage. After assessing the damage, the adult would normally plan a course of treatment to ensure
A Separate Peace and The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time were two very captivating coming of age novels. Although, while I was reading these novels, I may not have appreciated them at the time. Now as I am reflecting the themes and lessons that can be learned from the books, I am noticing just how great these books truly are. Just like all books, these two books carried important information and experiences that readers can learn from. Even though these books are both fiction, that
The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini is a tragic tale of guilt and redemption. The book details the life of Amir as he wrestles with the guilt of seeing Hassan raped, and later redeems himself by helping Hassan’s son Sohrab cope with extreme abuse at the hands of Assef. While some would argue the main theme of the book is redemption, I believe that the theme is simple: the past does define us, but it is through the past that we find ultimate significance.

with painful and difficult subject matter, echoed the Reclaiming Women’s Bodies by Kathy David text we read previously in the semester. Notably, I was struck by the way that the survivors at the event who spoke about their stories as a means of healing, claiming their story, and seeking visibility in a climate that would otherwise choose to silence them. I saw similarities between the way that their stories—and the stories of many other survivors—have gone unnoticed and Kathy David’s assertion
