Reiki 2

  When I took First Degree Reiki in 1989, I knew I wanted to continue with the trainings, and eventually, to open the Reiki door for others . The next step on the path to Mastery the Second level, or Okuden . A year later, I was able to take that step.  Some time ago, my  ᏦᏍᏓᏓᎸ (tso-s-da-da-lv /  Sister)  in Reiki, Sheila King , wrote: 'Going deeply into your heart           Going deeply into your healing                     Opening yourself to the light ... 'The Japanese word Okuden means 'the Deeper knowledge'. To take Second degree Reiki means to open to deeper levels of Reiki and to yourself. Reiki on all levels is like  light in our lives, shining in all the dark corners, bringing us into alignment with our Higher Selves.  'First degree is like a flashlight shining within us. As we complete the shifting this illumination brings, we are ready to welcome the brighter stronger...

Grounding

Image
  Before taking Lightwork with Amorah Quan Yin in the mid 90s, she asked that we prepare by working on grounding and setting our Aura 'Bubble' for a couple of months before coming to the retreat.  Shining star - 2017 She commented that asked noticed massage therapists and other healers often forget/ don't know how to consistently ground, and it was important for us to learn! This also is a good practice to deepen with prior to Reiki training.  Well! I could certainly relate to not always feeling grounded, even with my massage, Qigong and Reiki practices!  Learning to ground ourselves is an important facet of self care, and for working with others.  Amorah suggested women imagine our grounding cord the size of a tennis ball at first, and later, a softball or larger.  Invite the cord to drop from the belly/tan tien to the core of the earth. For men, begin with the smaller cord, sinking directly from the root chakra. Allow some time to experiment with differe...

Clearing Trauma

Image
  In a recent post in our virtual Reiki Community group, a practioner asked for tips on releasing trauma after giving a session, which triggered an old personal trauma.  I seconded the suggestion of using EFT as a tool to clear their own trauma, and receiving Reiki and Acupuncture from those who feel safe and resonant. All my teachers have recommended receiving treatment from others when ill or under stress! Borage - comfort and courage I shared a practice learned in Lightwork: Before the session - envision a ' matching picture rose' between you and your client, assign it the task of absorbing and transmuting any of the same issues that might come up. See it's stem being well grounded (and ground yourself before the session *) ... After the session, seperate your energy from your client, and observe 3 things in the room, then DISSOLVE the Rose! See it evaporate, taking all which it's  cleared with it. If you have a saltlamp in your space, be sure to turn it on be...

Reiki at a Distance

Image
 After nearly 40 years as a Massage Therapist, and 30 with Reiki, I am shifting my practice to include more virtual work, and fewer in person sessions. Reiki and other energetic offerings are often more powerful when offered remotely, which gives us the opportunity to work together wherever we are in the World! Time angel In a  constantly changing world, we are often asked to Pivot to adjust to new energies and opportunities. This last year has invited many of us to rethink how we connect, and what we offer.  When we combine Reiki with a dash of creativity ...  happens! Remote Reiki and Lightweaving sessions r educe stress, support relaxation, rejuvenation, and a return to wholeness. They heighten one's ability to connect with our inner light and with others in a deeper, more compassionate way.  I have been using Tuning Forks in my work for over a decade, and these translate especially well for distant sessions.  I use both the  Intention tuners ...

Lightwork

  Living and working on Healing Arts at Breitenbush in the 90s, I was blessed to attend the Annual Reiki Gathering with Phyllis Lei Furomoto, and to study with healers and mentors from many traditions and backgrounds, including Wheels of Light author Rosalyn Bruyere, the Breema community, Egypt scholar Nicky Scully, Qigong teachers, ethetic healer Eric Vormanns, Lightwork teacher Amorah Quan Yin, and many others. I met Mt Shasta healer  Amorah  shortly after moving to Breitenbush thirty years ago, and enjoyed our chats and hearing about her Pleiadian Lightwork, and the book ( Pleiadian Workbook ) she was writing. So when she offered her month long intensive training several years later at Breitenbush, I signed up!  I had moved to the coast, but was asked to 'fill-in' in the Healing Arts, during the time the workshop was scheduled.  So I asked for and received received permission to schedule my sessions around our workshop time! As Amorah suggested, I purchased ...
