Hi everyone.

Recently I've experienced some career setbacks because I shared my involvement in Reiki to some who could have helped propel me upwards.

Ultimately, I need to put food on the table and pay my rent and bills, so I've made the decision to begin participating in the Reiki community using a pen name.

Going forward, I'll appear as the username "LightBody" in forums where it is available, and I will no longer be using my real name. Instead, I will use the pen name Kiyoshi Takahashi, which is inspired by an ex-Japanese boyfriend who remains a close friend. (misc note: for what it's worth, my friends name is KiyoTaka), and my spiritual Reiki guides.

How you choose to address me is up to you... I've never wanted to keep who I am, which includes my life-lessons and how they have helped me heal and transform into someone better, from the Reiki community. However, in this situation I really need to give priority to my family and home life.

I hope that you understand, and again, just address me in the way you feel most comfortable.

Thanks for your understanding and support.

Congratulations LightBody
Changes are growth spurts
that happen when needed

Thanks for the explanation, LightBody. As I said, my own transparency is only a decision for myself. I would not try to persuade anyone else. Very best wishes,
Yeruham
