This is my first post on my first blog. I am very excited to be starting this blog and to start reaching out to people all over the world. This blog is an extension of my new website Brian Reeder.net. First, I must thank my best friend, Corey Proffitt, for the wonderful work he has done in building my website. He is the owner of New Image Web Design, and anyone who looks at my site will see a fine example of his wonderful talent. If you need web design, get in touch with Corey at the New Image website which is linked above.
So who am I and why am I here? Good question. I am a 38 year old native of Kentucky. I have been a certified astrologer through the Ivy Jacobson School of Astrology since 1997. I am a Shoden level Reiki practitioner,having received my certification on Sept. 9, 2007, from Robert Fueston of Lexington, Ky. I am an author who has worked in different generas. My first book is a study of the genetics of color and pattern in the domestic fowl, which is based upon ten years of intensive research I did with poultry which was focused on immunogenetics, with color and form being an interesting sideline. My latest book is a hybrid of scifi, horror and philosophy and is titled I, Valeria, available through Amazon and many other book sellers on the web or through your favorite bookstore.
I am also a dedicated yogi. I am not a yoga teacher, but a practitioner. A yogi is someone who practices yoga daily, though I have learned through my practice that there are some days when my body doesn't want to do any yoga, and because I am in union with my body, those days are days of yoga too; the yoga of rest. I have found yoga to be so important to the proper function of the body. I have never found any other system of exercise or therapy that does for me what yoga does. It is amazing and, honestly, if I hadn't experienced this myself, I probably would never have believed it was possible to have such increase in strength, vitality, and repair in the body from the asanas and pranayama of yoga.
I am going to close this for now, but there will be much more coming. I hope to make individual posts dealing with specific aspects of astrology, yoga, Reiki, my writing and myself. Check back often, as lots will be coming along, some specific and informative, some probably just rambling and free-flow.
May the long time sun shine upon you!
Brian
