Continually Connecting to Ever Flowing Reiki

Early on in my Reiki practice, I knew in my head that Reiki is infinite, but I was more inclined compartmentalize it, to treat it as something that is called in under special circumstances, such as before healing myself or others. I don’t know, I guess I didn’t want to “waste” the Reiki (as if)Continue reading “Continually Connecting to Ever Flowing Reiki”

The Daily Draw: Nine of Pentacles

Starting today I will be blogging what I’m inspired to write as a result of drawing a tarot card of the day. This writing may range from  direct interpretation to free-associative stream-of consciousness, depending.  I will no doubt be consistently inconsistent. Shall we get started?   Tarot nine of pentacles: The raw talent is there, and you’veContinue reading “The Daily Draw: Nine of Pentacles”

The Courage to be Wrong

I was bathing my five year old son over the weekend when he suddenly grabbed his leg with one hand and foot with the other, crying out that he had a cramp. I reacted immediately to do what I could to ease his pain, which in this case involved a combination of massage and Reiki.Continue reading “The Courage to be Wrong”

Forgive

Forgiveness means being able to let go of hurt and pain you’ve endured in the past. Forgiveness means refusing to spend any more energy dwelling on the past and the emotional baggage that you’ve collected on your journey from there to here. Forgiveness may or may not have meaning for the person you are forgiving,Continue reading “Forgive”

Be Yourself

One of the greatest challenges we face in our development is self-discovery, finding out who we are, being ourselves. We start off innocent children. Inevitably, we encounter people who want us to conform, beginning a power struggle that will follow us throughout our lives at home, school, church, peers, the workplace, etc. Socially, the world seemsContinue reading “Be Yourself”

Hello Again

Forgive me readers. It has been just over a year since my last post. I meant to get in touch sooner. Between moving house, managing four children between the ages of five and two, sporadic appearances by assorted teenagers, work commitments, etc., etc., I just haven’t got around to it until now. Which is notContinue reading “Hello Again”

Forgiveness is a Choice

Last week I collected a fair bit of baggage over an event that I had been looking forward to attending for the past seven or eight months. At the time I first learned of the event, someone volunteered to perform a service for me that would enable me to go. When the time came, thisContinue reading “Forgiveness is a Choice”

Tuning in to a Reiki Client

  I’ve been writing about awareness this week, and how we tune in to the world around us. Today I thought I’d write about the ways in which I tune in to reiki clients. The first way is the most obvious – speak with your client. Ask how they are feeling, why they are seekingContinue reading “Tuning in to a Reiki Client”

My Feelings? I Thought they Were Yours.

It’s common for people to tell you how they feel about things – relationships, work, politics, brussel sprouts. But it’s actually the other way around – our feelings drive what w e think. For example, brussel sprouts have never actively sought to offend anyone, yet those who have bad feelings towards them (based on input fromContinue reading “My Feelings? I Thought they Were Yours.”
