The Light Inside the Darkness
by Brian Dean
Darkness. There is darkness, way too much darkness. It makes it hard to see, hard to believe. But if we look hard enough, we might be able to see that flicker of light. Go on. Squint if you have to. But if you really try, you can see it. There! That glimmer, that candle flame flickering in the distance. Yes, it’s real. But it seems so small. Yet if you look closely enough, it gets bigger.
As you watch it seems to grow, but not from the center. There are specks of light igniting around it. And while the original light is not bigger, all the pieces around it seem to merge with it making it look larger. It looks like a whole, but it is truly pieces, pieces igniting to add to that light.
But wait… look… those pieces of light are not just pieces, they’re people. Yes, people. People who saw the light, and loved finding it, and in doing so became light themselves. They lit up, adding to the illumination, pushing back the darkness.
Each lit person goes out in their own way, and spreads the light. Maybe they teach, maybe they talk. Maybe they simply go about their lives with a different attitude, one of hope, one without fear. Maybe they simply be themselves and allow others to pick up their energies. Either way, the light grows.
Do you see the light? If you do, allow yourself to light, to glow, to spread the “message”. After all, light begets hope. Hope begets possibilities. And possibilities beget… well, anything. Yes, it’s that powerful. Climb out of the dark. Join the light.

Random Meanderings
by Brian Dean
supplied by Spirit
We live life. We rock. We roll.
We ride in the fast lane. We get stuck in traffic.
We take out the trash. We plant flowers.
We have our ups and our downs, our ins and our outs.
We think at the speed of light and move at the speed of molasses.
We reinvent.
We make anew.
We try the path less taken.
We live. We die. And we live and we die.
Wax on, wax off.
We learn so many things.
And bundle them into the cosmic “us”.
We jump ahead and fall heavy.
We spring forward and gently alight upon the earth.
We change. We add and subtract.
We step forward and step back. Then we step forward again.
We dance. We fly. We flit from moment to moment.
Life is a dance, but one moment it is a waltz, the next, the Twist.
And there’s always the Tango.
We are constantly moving, constantly changing.
Growing. Fermenting. Reaching new heights. Touching the stars.
We create a recipe, a formula...
Take three eggs, one cup of flour, a pinch of salt, add peace, harmony, and joy.
Then step back and taste. Modify as needed.
This is us... everchanging.

Caring Palms schedules Reiki classes throughout the year. Because we can not hold them at the studio as we have in the past, we are holding them at another location, and this incurs additional cost. Therefore, we are not scheduling as many classes as we used to. We are also holding classes for a minimum 4 or more students. We also need to let the class site know a week before the class date whether we will be having it or not. So, if you are interested, sign up early.
The following is a list of currently scheduled Reiki Classes. Each class (unless otherwise marked) currently has a status of 'Scheduled'. This means that a date has been set, but no one has signed up for it yet. Once a deposit has been received for a class, the status will be 'Confirmed'. Any class marked as 'Closed' has filled up. (Note: In some cases, one may be able to enter a class marked 'Closed' with permission of the instructor.) Because we are renting the location per use, each class requires a minimum of four (4) students to happen.
You may sign up for any of these through the website, or over the phone with a credit card.
Reiki 1
Reiki 2
Reiki 3
Reiki 4
More classes will be added based on how the ones currently on the schedule go.
All classes are open to anyone wanting to learn this unique method of hands-on healing. The cost for each class is $150 no matter what level of Reiki the class is for. A $75 deposit is required a minimum of seven (7) days prior to the class date (or permission of the instructor) to reserve a space in the class. Full payment must be received two (2) days before the class date. Classes with no deposits received by the cut off date will be canceled. All class statuses may be viewed under Reiki, Reiki Class Information, and Class Schedule. You can also sign up for classes there. (Check the website for the location.)
Reiki 1, 2, and 3 classes are Florida Board of Massage Approved for six (6) Continuing Education Hours (CEUs)

If you have enjoyed the services at Caring Palms, whether that be massage, Reiki, or classes, or something else, please leave a review on one of the review sites like Google, Facebook, or any of the many places that take reviews. Lately, it has been these reviews that have been bringing new clients into the studio, and all have been glad they found us.
Anyone leaving a review will be entered into the monthly drawing to win a free session (massage or Reiki). Reviews made between the first and last day of each month will go into the drawing, and the winner will be pulled on the first of every month. Thank you all that have left reviews, and congratulations to the people who have already won free sessions.
Note: We are asking people not to post on Yelp unless you are a person that posts there regularly.

While Caring Palms has 20 5-star reviews on Yelp, only seven of them are deemed "Relevant", and one has to go through another step to see the remaining 13.

Brian is now doing readings to anyone that wants to sit for one for $50 for up to one hour. Keep in mind, these are mediumship readings, not psychic readings. If you have an interest, please contact Brian and something can be scheduled. These can also be scheduled from the website. For more information on readings, please go to the Mediumship tab on the website, and then you can see several articles about mediumship including what to expect, and what happens during a session.

At Caring Palms, we pledge to do the best work we can at every session. We not only do this to continue to earn your business, but because we believe that you deserve the best care possible every time you are here. This is true whether it is massage, or energy work, or classes. This is our promise. This is what we will continue to do.
