Just kidding. Am I worried that the entire nation of Germany routinely uses a psychic octopus to foresee its victories or, as the case was against Spain recently, losses in soccer? Nah. But it's a pretty funny story.

Paul is of the 8-armed variety, an aquarium dweller at the Oberhausen Zoo. And he's pretty uncanny when it comes to choosing the right country's flag, when it's placed in a box containing a tasty, snackworthy mussel. He also predicted that Spain would win the World Cup final, which it did just a few minutes ago. Nice work, dude! But there's plenty of work for all of us who travel in psychic circles. I'm just not the jealous type.  

In other news, I attended a great Reiki class yesterday. Looking to add more of this to my readings and to my "other" job, as an energy healer. I'll be fully certified in another month or two, then go for the master level early next year. Loved the unstructured, practice-heavy nature of the class, and the other participants ,who all shared their wonderful stories and energy. 

Also looking forward to the Matrix Energetics Level 3 seminar in August. I've had really great results with Matrix, on  everything from chronic pain to migraines and manifesting new relationships. Try to get an octopus to do that! :)
