Clearing

 Recently a friend sent a note, saying she was experiencing pain in her upper body and neck, and feel it is related to 'releasing ancestor pain bodies.'

In addition to sending distant healing, I suggested she do one of my favorite clearing exercises, followed by a short self treatment.  You may wish to try it as well! 

Take a few minutes to set sacred space - dim the lights, light a candle, and invite your angels and guides to assist.

Cozy space

Three Sweeps (I usually stand):

Rub your hands together

Bring your hands above your head: Fingers facing back, little fingers together, hands a few inches above your head. 'sweep' down over your hair and shoulders then sides (just off the body)
At the bottom, flick your fingers toward the floor/ ground. Repeat twice more: 

  • 'I cleanse my aura (sweep & flick)
  • 'I cleanse my spirit (sweep & flick)
  • 'I cleanse my body (sweep & flick)

Imagine anything cleansed / cleared goes into the earth as compost! 

Take a moment to register how you feel.

Cosmic healing
Now, rub your hands together again, and sit comfortably for a self treatment. Your hands will rest comfortably on the body.
Hold each position for three 3 breaths - or longer as desired.  If you practice at 2nd degree or Mastery level, use any symbols which feel appropriate. 

  1. Palm the eyes (cupped palms)
  2. Move one hand, then the other to your temples (fingers point up over the top of head)
  3. L hand to back of head/ occiput, Rt hand to crown
  4. Throat, thumbs near collarbones
Now,  slide your R hand across to cuddle your L shoulder, and your L to cuddle the R shoulder. Tale a breath and relax. 

Imagine a lavender infinity ♾️ over the base of your skull. The past and future are dancing along the loop - the center point is the present. 

With each exhale, blow your breath out, releasing any of the ancestral pain. Do this at least 5- 10 times. 

When you feel complete, move your hands down to 'hug' your upper arms, and gently rotate to your Left, then Right several times, taking it slowly, and looking over each shoulder. 

Now brush your hands down your arms and hands, and flick your fingers as before. 

Shake out your hands, stretch. and do some gentle movement as you return to the present, and again, observe how you feel.

Practical Reiki

 The Reiki precepts begin  kyo dake wa , just for today ... I love the concept that we become the jumper cables for the energy - it flows through, not from us. When we have Reiki, we can invite the energy to flow into our activities and interactions throughout each day.  Morning bowl While Mrs Takata awaited surgery in Dr Maeda's hospital in Tokyo, each meal 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 that her students do the same. Teachers in many traditions suggest blessing what we serve and ingest, when we do this daily, it 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 whilst talking with a friend or on the phon...

Fourteen Day Challenge

 Following our weekend Reiki 1 class, I've decided to do a personal 14 day Reiki challenge .  As I revisited my Reiki journals, I was reminded of previous challenges I've done, and they are  a lovely way to refresh and recharge our energy.  It's 35 years since I took first Degree Reiki, and  that first day, our teacher Analyse invited us to go to sleep with one hand on our heart, and one on our belly. This is one of the simplest self-Reiki forms.  Reiki journal I began a page in my Reiki Journal, to track my Reiki sessions and practices.  I plan to choose a session and one or two practices daily. I do a morning blessing most days (Cherokee and a Reiki morning meditation/ blessing.  Self Reiki options: B : Basic self Reiki (~ 45 minutes  C : Chakra treatment (~ 30 minutes G : Gasshô practice (12- 15 minutes H : Hatsurei-Ho   (meditation - 12 minutes Practices and self care There are many practices that we can use to support our Reiki jo...

Reiki for the Home

Image
As I prepare for tomorrow Reiki class, I'm thinking about different practices and uses for Reiki. Including Reiki in trending your home is simple and effective.  A tip that comes from Amanda Gibby Peters of Simple Shui is to use salt for an, " everyday, any situation cleanse. You simply leave a small bowl of (sea or Himalayan) salt out for 24 hours."  Salt and NW Reiki gathering stone At 24 hours, dispose of the salt outside in the dirt or trash - whatever makes the most sense for you. You will feel brighter and lighter immediately! The salt collects stagnant / negative energy, and 'gremlins' so it's important to take that next step and toss it out!  Infuse your broom with Reiki and cinnamon Like smudging, you can bless a space with Reiki. One of Hawayo Takata's stories was of touching and blessing the walls of her Reiki House, as it was under construction. I did this with Rose Cottage, plus several Feng Shui practices. Put a bit of cinnamon essential oi...
