After your Session

Image
 Sometimes, receiving or giving Reiki will bring up emotions for clearing - I recall my teacher Alalyse inviting us to try to  observe those feelings, and not react to them.  Years ago, a friend found she sometimes felt open and vulnerable after giving or receiving Reiki - if you experience this, consider adding some practices for integration.  Spiral of life After the session When ready, open your eyes and notice three things in the room. Ground yourself, and imagine mama Gaia welcoming any released energy as compost.  Place one hand on the top of your head and the other on your belly. Imagine your energies being 'sealed up' as you prepare to leave the healing space.  Sweep your hands from just above your head, over the back of your neck, down your sides, and flick your fingers, imagining anything extra being released into the earth. Repeat at least three times. Bless and drink a glass of water, inviting the energy to integrate into your body, and anythi...

EFT Points

As I've mentioned before ,  EFT Tapping compliments Reiki wonderfully. This morning I joined a practice session with gals in the UK and Mosambique, and tapped around frustration and self worth. One participate 'volunteered' issues she was struggling with, and tapped with the host. The rest had our mics on mute, and tapped along.  As is common when I join a group session, I felt connected and more relaxed afterwards.  And everyone benefits by tapping on our own version of the issue presented.  In a recent newsletter, my friend and local EFT Practitioner Karen Aquinas offered a teaching that  Nick Ortner of The Tapping Solution recently shared - information he compiled on the topic of the Tapping points, and why we use each one.   Cucuzzi gourd flower I thought you might also find these helpful.

Reiki and MAP

Image
 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...

Qigong, Tai Chi and Reiki

Image
  My massage mentor had polio in the 40s, and recommended we take Tai Chi in '83 to support the bodywork! My own mum had polio in 1921, and needed to use crutches for balance - she encouraged me to be a active as possible.  I studied Yang long form Tai Chi with Maria Wen Yen Liu in Salem, who began each class with a series of Qigong warm up exercises. Maria learned from her father in China, beginning at 3 years old!  I had begun taking Russian ballet 5 years before, with Lynn Marchant , a world class teacher from the Bay area, who had also studied Tai Chi. I continuedwith both ballet and Tai Chi, till I moved to Breitenbush Hot Springs in '91.  At Breitenbush, I began teaching a drop in Qi class for staff and guests 2x a week, as part of our Daily Well Being offerings, and took workshops as I could. One on 1994, with a Qigong teacher that Heiner F. brought from China, included eating stars (!) and a Tiger form, plus exchanging Qi with trees ...  I took Reiki ...
