Be Here Now
There is always, it seems, a balance to be mindfully walked. Balance between action and patience, balance between faith and action, balance between surrender and preparing. They are all related, and all a part of my life lately. The tough part is deciding how much of each to put into the mix for the right […]
Alice’s Awakening
People often ask me how I got here, how I became a passionate Reiki teacher. Here’s the story, and links to a number of posts written at the time of the events I’ve described here. Please enjoy. When I was a kid, I wanted to feel special. Doesn’t everyone want to feel special, endowed with […]
Religion, Spirituality and Reiki
This week, I’ve been thinking about the ideas of faith, belief and spirituality. These thoughts usually come up for me when I’m at services. Rarely do formal worship services resonate with me, although I sometimes have to go and participate with the family. Friday night was one of those times. As I do when I’m […]
Emerging into the Light
Hello!First, I’m feeling better from my “Spiritual Upgrade“ I wrote about last week. Funny how I know it’s over – I do feel lighter and more clear-headed. Also, when I drive, the yellow line in the middle of the road has a big blue aura around it – lol! I notice that and realize I’m […]
Reiki Retreat This Weekend!
Hello friends! Tomorrow morning through Sunday afternoon I will be away from my computer (gasp!) in a nature reserve with 14 Reiki practitioners and Reiki Masters, learning, sharing Reiki with each other, and connecting with nature. Woo-hoo, I am so excited! And look what I made to bring with me: What do you think? I’ll […]
I’m Seeing the Difference – or Not Really SEEING.
This weekend, I’ve had some nice time to myself to work on studying and practicing learning Chios Healing. I have to say that I’m finding it much harder than Reiki. Reiki came naturally to me, and it doesn’t require any special exercises or abilities. (Maybe that’s why it came naturally to me- ha ha ha). […]
Snowed In
We got hit with a major snowstorm from Friday through very early this morning, leaving us with 2 feet of snow and with everything closed. So unfortunately, was the Reiki clinic where I was planning to go volunteer and give hands-on Reiki on Saturday. I guess it will have to wait a couple of weeks. […]
Waking Other People to Reiki
I had the fortune of spreading the word about Reiki some more. (There I go again – can’t seem to help myself!)One reader who stumbled upon my blog emailed and asked me to send her distance Reiki, as she was curious about what it would feel like, or if she would even feel it. She […]
Hands on Feet
On Tuesday, a friend who wanted to learn more about Reiki came over so I could have the welcome opportunity to talk about Reiki to someone who actually wanted to hear me talk about it. I talked all about how I came to learn about Reiki, and how it’s become such a large and involved […]
Increasing the Connection
Today I tried something new – Hatsurei Ho. It’s a Reiki meditation, intended to connect one more with the Reiki energy, and it has been referred to as “the Jewel of Reiki,” a metaphor I like a lot. My experience with trying it was to really feel the energy moving through me, and I enjoyed […]
