I looked up the CranioSacral Therapy courses at Upledger today and the prerequisite is that one has a healthcare background, is a current student in healthcare, or is ready to be licensed in healthcare. I can get certified to practice it with a few courses that will be very manageable to afford, when the time is right.
So, for right now, I cannot choose the path toward being an ordained minister to follow this path. It is still possible for me to follow the path of ordained minister to be able to do my Reiki. I just need to find the right teacher to help propel me along that route.
Massage Therapy school is still in the future - probably starting in August. Unless I wait until next April and do it during the day, which is possible. I am not ready to do it this April during the day.
Now that these things are out of my mind, I will be able to use my energy to focus on other creative processes.
Thank you Universe.

Today's reflection
As I get silent and open myself to listening, I am gently reminded of the importance of this act. I am not sure what the coming hours will hold, nor the coming days/months/years, but one thing I am sure of is that they will hold exactly what they are meant to.
Current visioning includes the possibility of massage therapy school and returning to university for a master's in counseling. It is amazing the conversations you invoke when you put yourself out there and share with "the most unlikely of persons" what you're visioning for your future.
Last Thursday, I was all set to sign up for massage therapy school to start 11 April for day classes. Lydia and I talked and I was on all but "go"... But Monday night, as I fell into a sickly foggy-headed sleep, I realized I wasn't prepared to give up my "day life" of volunteering and participating on my board to commit to massage therapy school. I had to make a[nother] tough decision.
At a United Way site visit for the board I sit on, I had a really eye-opening, rewarding conversation with someone whom I have not ever (in three years) had such a deep, personal conversation with. It blew me away and I walked away from the conversation (once again) considering returning to university for a master's degree in counseling.
As a Renaissance Soul (and just a plain soul), I am charged with determining what path I am to follow right now. I keep having revelations, conversations, and conducting readings and writings that are leading me to answering this question for the immediate "future", and then new information comes into my ever-loving analytical brain ... and what I really need to focus on is trusting my intuition, trusting my gut.
I tell friends and family (and mere strangers, even) to trust their gut all the time. So why is it I am having a hard time trusting my own? Maybe because my gut tells me all these opportunities/paths will lead to happiness. Pure, divinely-guided happiness. Maybe because I am afraid of closing a door that seems viable and true, and maybe, just maybe it's because I haven't found the path for this moment in this time-space sequence. Or maybe I have and my left brain is still rattling it around and analyzing it...
For now, I return to silence. I return to peace. And I sit as a student listening; waiting for my teacher to appear.
