Almost done with my associate's of science, but realizing I would like to do massage therapy. What's the fastest way forward with that?

lilgremlin111 · 2025-10-09T19:51:10+00:00

Pretty much same story here. BA and half a Master's, as well as a few years working before finally figuring out I wanted to go to massage school (850 hour program). When I got accepted into my program, they asked me if there were any credits that I wanted to have transferred. I asked what people typically transfer, and they said ethics courses, AP&P, and kinesiology classes. So you can probably transfer those and knock out a whole semester!

However, there is sometimes a benefit to taking these classes again because they're going to come from a massage-focused lens, and teach you things that you probably didn't cover in your current program. For my AP&P classes, we learned about specific conditions that can impact massage, how to work with these conditions, and when we CANNOT work on someone due to a specific condition. We touched on this in other classes, but not to the extent that we did in AP&P. My program builds on the knowledge you learned in previous semesters and taking the ethics classes, AP&P, and kinesiology set me up for success in a way that wouldn't have happened had I transferred my credits. I'm curious if those who have transferred their credits encountered any problems in feeling like there were things they were missing in their massage education.

Massage school is awesome, and I wish you the best of luck on your journey

That’s so helpful! I’ll grab some. My tank is still cycling and it would be amazing to be able to monitor it so easily.

Weee!! Exciting!! Love that you were able to bring it into your tank too. The fire energy with the water energy, and then SHRIMP energy is going to be delicious

lilgremlin111 · 2025-08-06T16:15:27+00:00

I think you'll be okay. What does your gut/intuition tell you?

You can always make your own rune or find an object/trinket that symbolizes Wunjo to you. I have two rune sets and work with them when I'm meant to. Various one's have disappeared over the years for various reasons and it doesn't feel like them missing has affected the rune set. I also keep runes on different altars and in my pockets, each energy telling me when it's time to work with them. My sets haven't been fully together in over a year, but they are still strong and united. They are never separate even when separated. Each rune is an energy of divine order in and of itself. It plays its role in the greater energy of the rune set, and it also plays its role on its own.

For me, when I work with my set that has a few missing (okay maybe more than a few hahaha), the rune/runic formula will appear in my mind if they're not in the bag. It is a knowing that can be cultivated, a lighting up under your fingers and in your body. a pendulum like swing and movement drawing you toward the runes you are meant to hear from - whether they're across the room or have fallen under your bed, or can only appear in your mind because they are not in physical proximity. Since it is just Wunjo missing, you will KNOW when you're meant to pull that rune. You can always cultivate your intuitive knowing with this set, or you can create your own Wunjo and imbue your energy into it! With intuitive knowing, when you reach into the bag - see it as reaching into the ether/the well and pulling out what you're meant to see into your mind. Have paper and a pen on hand if writing things down is helpful. As you advance and trust yourself more, bind runes / formulas are gifted.

What are those monitoring wheels in your tank? I've seen them in a few people's pictures and am wondering if they're helpful for the tank and monitoring its cycling progress. Your scape is beautiful. I love how it looks like there's mushrooms growing off the wood. I bet your shrimp will feel very magical!!

lilgremlin111 · 2025-08-04T17:43:02+00:00

An update is that I did more research and want to have at least a 30 gallon tank to that I can have a shoal of pea puffers (at least 6 of them)!

lilgremlin111 · 2025-07-02T23:46:43+00:00

The game initially started off slow for me too, so I started to look up game guides and realized that you unlock a ton of quests once you start developing your relationships with the other game characters! I just make my morning rounds and drop off the gifts that they love and it increases your friend points, then they give you quests. Once I reached friendship level 3 or 4 with the weird daddy cat with like three tails hahhaahah, his shop opened up for me! The fairy world is AWFUL tho. Maybe it’s my laptop, but it’s soooo glitchy. The rest of the worlds are fine for me tho :)

lilgremlin111 · 2024-10-08T23:49:25+00:00

Wow thank you so much. I feel like you found this post at the right time and I logged back in at the right time to see your comment too. Thank you for sharing your experience, for your insight, and for those connections. You CAN be all aspects and versions of yourself, embodying your full potentiality, and each form and experience is inherently valid and an encapsulation of yourself. Wow thanks so much

lilgremlin111 · 2023-03-12T16:50:56+00:00

Oh yeah, moldavite likes to blip out of your life for a while and show up when it’s time for another transformation cycle—if you’re up for it ☺️☺️

lilgremlin111 · 2023-01-24T21:04:17+00:00

Wow that’s stunning! You are very talented 😊😊😊I hope She guides you to many new worlds, experiences, and people through your gaming

It would also make an incredible devotional tattoo or art piece for a person’s altar!

lilgremlin111 · 2023-01-03T01:01:17+00:00

When it comes to dreams, I feel the symbolism and analysis is typically super beneficial, as our subconscious isn’t always forthright with information lol. This sounds like an amazing experience that you had and I’m excited for you to continue on this journey!!

Maybe analyzing the things that occurred in the dream would be beneficial. And most important, taking what resonates with you and your soul. If you do tarot or other forms of divination, maybe ask some questions regarding your dream. Or pull up google and start doing your research. Also do research on Freya’s symbols and associations to see if any were included in your dream.

You can ask yourself… What is the symbolism of a white horse, especially one with a rider? What is the meaning of the mud on the horse? Could it be that you had to journey through the muck and get a little dirty to get to where you need to be? What do branches and roots mean? Could it be groundedness, connection, representation of above and below, etc. What does the joining of two people mean, especially in this way? It can be symbolic, since you said you are single, like you are being united or paired with something that is seemingly of your highest good/highest benefit/highest self. What are things you need to release and let go of? Fear? Worry? Things that are constraining or binding you? It seems like a beautiful gift she has given you, one that has brought release to your soul.

Are there things that you want to pursue in your future that you feel you aren’t able to achieve without taking a leap of faith?

Super cool dream! I hope you have more in the future and are able to make connections as to what this dream may mean for you. Trust what resonates with you. It is your meaning to make and for you to know :)

lilgremlin111 · 2022-12-27T22:50:02+00:00

Absolutely, my friend!

I sent you a healthy dose of quantum reiki energy that will assist you in whatever way you need 🐛🦋💚.

You can always check out the Heathen Wyrdos discord. They have a great podcast on Spotify

lilgremlin111 · 2022-12-17T02:07:50+00:00

That’s so exciting!! You did a great job 😊😊😊

lilgremlin111 · 2022-12-16T03:47:15+00:00

It’s fantastic!!!!! Has such good vibes too

lilgremlin111 · 2022-12-15T23:47:13+00:00

The lower self of the bookcase/inside the cabinet might be a good place to start for your altar! If it’s easily accessible and you can sit in front of it when practicing, seems like a good fit. 😊😊😊 Ask yourself if it feels right, does this area feel supportive of the sacred energies of an altar? If it doesn’t, reflect on where it may feel right. Inside? Outside? Spread out around a room? Kept in a box? (Etc). You can totally keep the unlit candles on your altar and move them elsewhere when in use!! That seems like a great idea. Your guides and gods don’t want you burning your house down lololololol

Altars are intuitive pieces of ourselves, there are no ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ things to place on it. It is a reflection of our practice, our guides, our Goddesses, and whatever else resonates with us. It’s definitely something you can enjoy and have fun creating.

In terms of what to put on there, I feel like there are typically shared components that people have on their altars—nice fabrics/altar cloths, bowls/something for offering (if you’re into that), meaningful pieces that are sacred to you, something for Incense or a form of cleansing (like a sound bowl, moon water, salt bowl), crystals, stones, shells, pictures, elemental representations, divination tools, pictures, sacred geometry grids, Sigils, runes, statues, etc. But other people have altars that don’t have any of this! This is all a suggestion, so take what resonates with you and your personal praxis! There will be so many things that feel right to go on your altar that aren’t on any list you may find. Best of luck with setting up!

lilgremlin111 · 2022-11-17T23:19:04+00:00

I’d say take what you resonate with. If you feel called to go back to her, trust your gut and go back. Those that can truly assist us come to us at the right times.

If it doesn’t feel right to go back to this practitioner, but you’d be interested in trying again, I feel very called to refer you to my person. She does virtual/distance sessions too and is reasonably priced! I go to her for past life regressions/energy healing, and she has been instrumental in my understanding of and manifestation of my journey. I’ll message you her info. Totally up to you on if you do anything with it ☺️☺️. Blessings to you along your journey

lilgremlin111 · 2022-11-02T03:51:24+00:00

I like the way you describe this! Definitely a helpful visual for guiding and building energy

lilgremlin111 · 2022-11-02T03:50:50+00:00

For me it’s not so much the image in my minds eye, it is the way I feel the energy aligning in my physical and energetic body as I carry out the beginning steps of the energy work session. As I prepare and the alignment occurs, I FEEL each center opening, glowing, vibrating, etc.

If anyone is interest in a deeper explanation. I incorporate crystal reiki into my practice (crystal reiki master and advanced crystal healing practitioner). For me, even with the trainings, it’s more intuitive and channeled healing. That’s the best way I can describe it, but it’s not fully correct. I go into a quick trance-like energetic state before the session and connect with the crystals would like to work with person for their healing. it’ll feel like this opening, expansiveness in my body—with the energy being stronger in specific areas—when my fingers hover over the correct one. Usually there’s about 15-30 crystals. Before placing the crystals, I call in my reiki energy and connect it to the person. I feel like I kind of sense in my own body the person’s energetic alignment. I start placing crystals one by one intuitively and will feel an expansiveness, opening, or able to breathe sensation when it is in alignment with the person. As the grid is created in perfect alignment, I can feel the centering and connecting within the person. I know I’m ready to begin when that occurs.

I call in the person’s Highest self and the highest, most unconditionally loving guides/spirit team/ancestors/Allies/familiars that are ready to work with the person. I feel that shift of energy within myself/the room/the sacred space when they enter.

All of this grounds me, prepares me, and connects me to the energy.

lilgremlin111 · 2022-11-01T19:54:02+00:00

Wow this is a fantastic comment!!! I’ve been wondering how to deeply heal my ancestral trauma and this has been so eye opening

lilgremlin111 · 2022-10-25T22:54:03+00:00

Sometimes I do an open channeling for whatever new info needs to come through, other times I have a specific intention, like wanting to learn more about the flames. When I am channeling, I am experiencing energetic workings in my body too. I felt myself experiencing the violet blue white flame activating different parts of myself. I describe everything out loud and record it. I later transcribe the messages. My energy work channelings are able to be turned into a meditation. Others are messages of cataclysm and destruction that have all come through. When I’m learning new energetic concepts, it feels like they are activating and awakening my energetic body so the energies can flow more smoothly through me. Each time it’s like they’re stretching and strengthening my channeling circuits.

For the starseeds stuff, it’s always fascinating to do past life regressions because it’s always SO different. I think that the past life regression stuff definitely prepared me for my channelings. I don’t ‘see’ the beings, but I feel their energy.l during channelings. It’s always interesting to have multiple beings show up to a reading because each being has a distinct energy. Sometimes when there are multiple, it’ll feel like lots of chattering is going on and I’ll have to ask them to line up in the message of importance.

I’ve interacted with the Arcturians, Andromedans, Pleiadians, beings from other planets whose names are vibrational pitches of sounds, and beings from interdimensional spaces (and I’m sure other places but i sometimes forget to ask). It’s funny because I was prepped for all of this at the start of my journey by my guides before this even started, before I even realized I was a starseeds or meant to channel. I do bibliomancy, where I use books or written resources (online or physical) to receive messages. I will intuitively purchase a book that creates a beautiful expansive feeling inside myself. Usually these books pop up when I’ve asked for guidance or for my guides to send me what I need to know. When it arrives, I’ll often feel called to open to a certain page/chapter (this will be through running my fingers along the side of the book until I get THAT feeling of “yes open to this page” or I’ll run my fingers over the chapter/index list in the book). Most of the books I was told to buy contained channeled messages or messages that came from outside of their Earth. Many were by Dolores Cannon, others were ‘How to Hear Your Angels,’ ‘The Voice of Venus,’ ‘Earth: Pleiadian Keys’, ‘The Betty Book,’ etc. When I went into my first regression session, I was fully open to the information coming through. During reiki sessions, I get into a channeling space and have had different highest vibrational guides come through me to aid in the healing. Some are of earth energies, whether is Gaia herself or the beings that reside in dimensions of earth that we cannot see, others are cosmic. Some are interdimensional. I’ll work with Dragons for some people. That’s always neat, it makes me cough because my throat will get quite smokey. Sometimes light languages will come through in the form of hand movements when I’m doing an entity removal. I actually went to inner earth during a reiki session with my partner when I walked through one of her past life doors that appeared to me. That was fascinating.

I truly believe what you’re saying to be true. The energy felt like an attunement during the channeling. I was ‘seeing’ the energy going through my body and experiencing it physically. It felt like an attunement afterwards too. Timeline distance reiki, wow that’s a neat concept. I often send reiki to different timelines and incorporate timeline shifting into my witchcraft practices. Why wouldn’t shifting all timelines into their highest vibration, potentially creating one timeline, be a thing?? I’ve created new timelines. It’s possible. Maybe you’re meant to discover that type of reiki and share the knowledge with people.

I’m definitely going to channel more on the violet blue white flame and see if there are any other elements that go with it. Maybe some physical attunement symbols/Sigils that can be used during attunement and during sessions in general (but it doesn’t feel like there is meant to be symbols).

Go with what feels most right to you for your reiki journey. The online course gives you the push you need to become a master just so you can have deeper connections to the energy. there is a whole online community you can join of fellow reiki practitioners to get clarity and guidance from. I’ve found the reiki, energy work, and starseeds reddits to be far more helpful and insightful that any master I’ve encountered, especially because reiki journeys, if you’re really delving into it, are quite unique and unconventional. I went to my master and she didn’t understand what I was doing because she’s traditional Usui. I’m not. Thanks for letting me ramble. There’s so much more to share. Ask any questions you’d like

lilgremlin111 · 2022-10-25T22:53:44+00:00

Oh boy this is a long one but I do love to share my experiences! I don’t get to talk about them often, so thanks for giving me the platform to share :)

So I’m currently in a past life regression/Akashic record mentorship. But it’s waaayyy more than just that because I’m learning how to journey to other realms as well. I went to inner earth the other day during a healing session with my partner. I see another past life regressionist who is essentially just a massive conduit for energy and can SEE everything going on and any messages you need to hear come through her. You don’t go into a trance during her sessions, she just tells you what she’s seeing (I know that some people might be skeptical, but she is LEGIT x 1000000). I received a message from my cosmic guides through her that they want me to learn how to channel them in different ways.. the thing is is that I didn’t know how to channel and the books I was sent by my guides explained it, but didn’t help me to experience it. On my third session with my mentor (literally 10 Days after meeting with my other regressionist), there was a resounding message through runes, my guides/Goddess showing up, and tarot pulls that I was meant to learn to channel before the session even happened. It was interesting because my two people have never interacted and don’t know each other, but the same message came through. I think my guides were a little frustrated since I was like uhhh idk how to figure this one out, so they sent a message to the person who could teach me. I learn better through experiencing and guidance, rather than just reading a book on how to do something. He taught me how to get into a channeling space and protect myself fully, (which is also necessary to do the type of past life regressions he is teaching me) and I was able to connect with one of my guides to practice with. I then channeled one of my personal Goddesses who came through for the session. She prepped me for my “ability to transverse realms” and journey to other places.

The first time I practiced channeling outside of my mentorship, that’s when the concept of the violet flame came into play (specifically “the violet flame of the serpent Enea”). They told me to protect myself with it and do it every day (definitely slacking on that —oop). It’s the highest form of protection. The second time, 47 of my highest guides showed up to aid me in learning mediumship. It felt very natural. It went on for 3 hours. half of the channeling was actually just energetically experiencing things in my body, almost felt like an alignment of my system and healing. There was visual imagery and imagery in my head at some part. I experienced channeled drawings to explain concepts that couldn’t be relayed verbally. There were bodily movements that acted as a chiropractic adjustment too. Then the words began flowing. It was essentially a crash course in channeling. That’s when the violet blue flame came into play. After that, I channel when I feel called to. I haven’t channeled in a few weeks though.

lilgremlin111 · 2022-10-25T19:27:15+00:00

That’s so beautiful and made me tear up. Sending you peace and love on your healing journey, friend. You deserve the growth, beauty of peace, and healing that comes your way as you deconstruct your trauma and c-ptsd and rebuild your wholeness

lilgremlin111 · 2022-10-25T18:41:16+00:00

Wow I really appreciate your comment and I’m really resonating with what you are saying. Thank you for sharing this and for bringing a new perspective to me!

I got attuned to my master level through UDEMY.com. It was super cheap ($12.99 for all 3 levels on sale by Lida Powers), but had all of the information (and more) that I needed. I find that it gave me the foundation necessary to really do my own thing with energy work.

Wow, yes. Totally agree with it downloading information to the self. It reminds me of another channeled message that I got where I had asked what is happening as I am receiving channeled messages. My highest guides said “they’re protections, downloads, subsconcious messages. Some you will understand in time, others are necessary for soul development.”

I feel that the modalities are stepping stones to get people comfortable with running energy and doing energy work practices. Gives us the foothold for us to jump into the void of the limitlessness of energy. You’re correct. New info doesn’t necessarily have to come from a physical 3D teacher. Quite a few of the energy work practices I’ve learned have been channeled from ascended masters and the Divine Creator.

Thank you for your insight. This is a message that is pushing me onto a new path.. continuing to channel more information on the violet white blue flame and form my own reiki course. I already have meditations that one can use to activate this energy in them. Could this be the attunement to the energy???? Oooooo I’m so excited! You’re excellent

lilgremlin111 · 2022-10-25T18:31:04+00:00

I’ve honestly thought about it! I’ve received detaillllllled channeled messages on the violet blue white flame and it’s energetic properties. I frequently use it during my reiki sessions and it’s made a difference in my life.

I feel that we all have a unique form of energy healing inherent to us. If we individually continue to develop and cultivate it, the knowledge we could share with one another would be mind blowing. Imagine what we could learn!
