“I am so interested in you.” This pointed statement took me aback. It was not romantic, sleazy, or full of innuendo. It was a simple statement that I didn’t quite know how to handle.
It was almost two weeks ago now that I embarked on a journey that I wasn’t expecting. This journey was not to a place I could travel to through planes, trains or automobiles. In fact, it was not a journey of miles at all. This journey is one of my mind and body. Throughout this journey, I have been faced with many questions, and doubts. But that is what makes an expedition memorable. The most prominent question I have pursued is this: Can I explore spirituality through an outlet other than the religion I have been raised in?

I was overwhelmed a bit. My curiosity had been sparked, and would not now be easily quenched. I knew I wanted to learn more, and I knew the way in which I wanted to learn. So, I asked Elias to mentor me. I wanted so badly to learn as much as I could, especially now that I had somewhere to begin and I also now had a personal connection. I could barely contain my excitement, checking back to Facebook far more often than was rational. The next day at ballet, still with no response, I ran up to him the minute he came in the door and asked him. I watched him process the idea. He said he would have to think about it, but was interested in the concept. I was pretty ecstatic. I just was so desperate to learn as much as I could as soon as possible.
5 We worked throughout the week, usually during our quick 15 minute break for intermission during the show. One time, Grace, Elias and I sat in a circle and played with three people, rather than just one on one. We first connected all of us together by looking in the empty space between the people across from us. This created a very balanced flow of energy around the circle. When we switched to Elias and I looking at Grace, and Grace still looking into the space, the energy flow changed completely. Suddenly, Elias and I were connected, while Grace was a bit on her own. Yet, Elias and I’s energy was focused on her, so she could feel that. It was so interesting to explore the ways concentration of energy can affect our connections and what we feel from one
