King's Touch Reiki

 In the early 90s, I began making  flower essences  shortly after joining the Healing Arts Team at Breitenbush Hot Springs and becoming a Reiki Master.  One of my books on essences was Machaelle Small Wright's. I'd been gardening co-creatively with Nature since reading about Findhorn in the 80s, and later discovered Machaelle's Garden Workbook. When she published her  Medical Assistance Program (MAP),  I got her initial handouts, then the book. Petunia - creative visionary With this program (developed from her work with Devas and nature spirits, Machaelle began to work with a "team" for personal health - both physical and mental/emotional. It dovetails beautifully with energy work including Reiki and etheric healing, tuning forks and lightweaving, and during sessions received from other healers. The team includes: PAN (the CEO of nature)  Great White Brotherhood (Ascended Masters, including Motherr Mary and Christos, and the Reiki guides) Deva  of Healing (and pos

Ask a cat if they would like some Reiki, and they'll likely tell you they invented it!!  When i embarked on my Reiki journey, it seemed by 'happenstance! During her talk on the asteroid  Chiron, the 'wounded healer , Analyse mentioned Chiron oversees healing initiations, & invited those interested to register for a Reiki class in a few weeks. I was intrigued, & signed up for the class on the spot. I'd long realized there was 'more we could do' with our hands, without personal effort; but hadn't been sure how to tap it consistently.   One other student and one of Analyse's new Masters and I arrived for the class. After the introduction, we moved to the massage tables for our first sessions, and the resident kitty was at the door, wanting in! It joined Analyse for sessions, then would go out during the Reiki lessons!                    Coal and Ash (grandkitties) In the years since that first class in 1989, I've done Reiki on animals, or they&

The Reiki precepts begin kyo dake wa , just for today ... When we have Reiki, we can invite the energy to flow into our activities and interactions throughout the day.  While Takata awaited surgery in Dr Maeda's hospital in Tokyo, each of the meals prepared by the doctor's sister the dietician was blessed with Reiki : green tea, Rice, beans, steamed vegetables (especially carrots & beets), seaweed. As she learned Reiki herself, Mrs Takata blessed her own food and drink, and later recommended her students do the same. Teachers in many traditions suggest blessing what we ingest, it's something we do daily, and soon becomes second nature. We can also use Reiki around the home: set up an altar hold seeds or herbs a minute before we plant them bless a craft project we're working on sweep the floor play a musical instrument atune to objects as we decide whether to keep them, or pass them on In addition to doing sessions on ourselves, our pets and each other, we can use Re

  While studying to become an   Intentional Creativity teacher and coach   in 2015, one of our assignments was to offer  Red Thread Circles  and events. I included a simple circle as part of a 1st Degree Reiki class, and we created Reiki journals in 2nd Degree - the students loved them! My teacher Maestra Shiloh Sophia invited me to consider the connections between Reiki and the IC teachings,  "I know there are connections, explore what they are."  A Chinese legend tells that we are connected before birth with those whom we're destined to meet by an invisible Red Thread. Through out our lives, the thread may twist, stretch and tangle, but will never   break.  We each hold, and are responsible for a unique piece of this thread.  With Reiki, we often feel the resonance of connection when we meet other  Reiki practitioners, or first connect with our Master. The teachings and practices of  I ntentional Creativity® and Reiki support each other in a beautiful way. Over the l

  My massage mentor had polio in the 40s, and recommended we take Tai Chi in '83 to support the bodywork! I took a Yang long form from Maria Wen Yen Liu in Salem, and we began each class with a series of Qigong warm up exercises .... I continued taking ballet (from Lynn Marchant, a world class teacher from the Bay area, who had also studied Tai Chi) and the Yang form, till I moved to Breitenbush Hot Springs in '91.  I began teaching a drop in Qi class for Breitenbush staff and guests 2x a week, as part of our Daily Well Being offerings and took classes and workshops as I could. One from a Qigong teacher that Heiner F. brought from China included eating stars (!) and a Tiger form, plus exchanging Qi with trees ... (94) I took Reiki before moving to the Bush, and became a Reiki Master that first year, often including Qi movement in our Reiki Classes. I particularly loved practicing my own forms and Qi dances in the Sanctuary, the Forest Shelter, and the beautiful outdoors. When

When I began offering Reiki classes in 1991, I had just begun making flower essences, and blends or "bouquets." I had several reference books and a few essences from others, and appreciated the ways the energies of Reiki and the flowers dovetailed.  One of my sets is the Rose 2 Essences from Parelandra, which are designed to "address the electric system's support during a deep expansion experience. Here, one is not processing ordinary, everyday change and challenges. When faced with this kind of expansion, we are required to function in new ways, and with patterns and rhythms yet to be experienced. The Rose Essences II set assists that phenomenon by balancing and stabilizing the electrical system and its circuits that support all deep-expansion activity." Jude the Obscure This perfectly describes the kind of deep expansion we experience during Reiki initiations!  I brought essences to my classes, and often made an initiation " bouquet " to he

During our Reiki journies, we experience ebb and flow, when we feel less or more connection to the energy. I remember my surprise when I asked a couple who had taken separate classes how they used Reiki together, and they said, "oh, we don't really use it any more!"  ... and my thought:  "but Reiki flows every time you touch each other!"   Now, that's my belief - that Reiki flows as it's needed, and is amplified in the presence of other practitioners ... And ... adding the element of intention helps focus the flow!  Interested in healing from an early age, and in sharing what I learn with others, I was drawn to teaching Reiki from my first initiation, and to teaching Intentional Creativity® when that came my way. It seemed natural to explore the connection between the two, to follow the Red Thread  to weave them together. In 1991 as I began teaching Reiki, I thought about Dr Maeda bringing out traditional writing implements to craft the letter t
