Workout and Reiki and Cosmos

So I worked out again yesterday as I tend to do several times a week.

But this time was different.

This was my first workout with Reiki.

And holy crap it worked out great!

Last week I had upped my level of difficulty on the stationary bike when doing all the fun hilly stuff. Needless to say, it was pretty tough, especially on the last mega-high hill, but I managed to keep the 80 rpm and got through. Then I do my usual bench presses etc for anaerobic activity too.

Anyway, flash forward to yesterday, or is it flash back only not as far? Hmm.

So I did the same difficulty, my new one, that I did last week. And as a thought, I would do Reiki while biking.

It was sort of odd at first not touching the little handle bar thingies while biking, but I didn't much.

Well, when I stopped doing Reiki my heart rate would shoot up more like what happened last week then when I was doing Reiki. Now it was definitely elevated and I definitely knew I was working out but I wasn't really getting tired. And my breathing was pretty regular.

I also didn't struggle...AT ALL.

I was just in this zone that let me know that my body was doing work. I was aware I was working my legs pretty hard but all I really had to do was concentrate on keep my legs moving at 80 rpm. Because the Reiki is usually used for relaxation, I had to concentrate to keep my legs moving at a steady pace.

Other then that it was great! Even the highest hill I wasn't breathing heavy at all and my heart rate was elevated but not at the high rate I had on the hard parts last week.

Let me just say it was a rather uncommon experience.

And it was wonderful.

I plan to go up a level on Thursday and see what happens.

Heck I might as well go to 12 since I am on level 10 already.

I also didn't get any of the aches usually associated with working out after doing Reiki after each set of working out and after on my way home.

I also did a full self Reiki when I got home just to clean out, and I had an hour to kill before going out. :)

Ok, enough Reiki talk for now. :P

Check out the Cosmos launch stuff! (The link is currently pretty busy)

that's funny that you mention that... I found reiki the best solution to post-workout-muscle-soreness around. And it def helps during the workout too....

Cool.
