“If every 8 year old in the world is taught meditation, we will eliminate violence from the world within one generation.” Dalai Lama That’s a great aspiration, and a strong statement. Regardless of whether it’s absolutely true there’s no denying that teaching meditation at an early age can have profound, positive affect for the student.Continue reading “The Relax Game”

The Daily Draw: Queen of Pentacles
What I am inspired to write on a given day about the tarot card I’ve drawn today. (yes, I know I changed the name. This series is a work of progress, much like myself.) Queen of Pentacles: This is someone who is very nurturing and strong willed. Mammy knows best. If she has a good feelingContinue reading “The Daily Draw: Queen of Pentacles”
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 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”
Doubt Takes a Back Seat
I’m coming up on my first anniversary as a Reiki Master next month. With a houseful of small children, and an overworked, stay-home partner, I’ve had plenty of opportunity to stay in practice, from winding babies to healing backaches to clearing negative or chaotic energy, not to mention self-healing that helps me to be moreContinue reading “Doubt Takes a Back Seat”
No Dumping
Emotional baggage is a peculiar thing. It is invisible to the naked eye, but it can feel so heavy when you carry it. I’ve let myself get weighed down under such baggage, and struggled in such a way as to attract attention to my load. And it does attract attention, usually in the form ofContinue reading “No Dumping”
