Amida Buddha is guiding

  In 1989, I went to a harp concert with the amazing Karen Bruner in January ... and met my Reiki master at a talk in the same room in September, 9 months later.  In the summer of 1991, two 1/2 years after first meeting Karen, I saw her at the NW Reiki gathering, "ah!! She does Reiki!! That explains it!" ... (The thread connecting her to my own Reiki journey - I'd just become a Master at that point) When I took 2nd degree in '89, I dropped the symbols into the drum I'd made, and brought with me - and in 1993, when I got my first harp, dropped them into her!  Drums and Native American Flute Before 'finding' Reiki, I was 'waiting' for a book, and would visit a certain isle at Powell's City of Books, hoping it was be there ... this went on for at least a year. (Powell's was an hour away in those days - longer now with more traffic)  I'd go to the section with tomes on Tai Chi/ Qigong (which I began learning in 1983) and other movement a...

Reiki Anniversary

This month marks my 30th anniversary as a Reiki Master -  When the student is ready ....  A friend calls it holes - when you know something's important, and you need to do it, but - why? I can trace my "introduction" to the healing modality I'd been seeking to a harp concert  (by a 2nd degree practitioner!) 9 months before, in a bookstore about an hour away. Who could resist Karen Brunner's title, "Out of the Silence, Into the Wind" ... And her tape, Where the Dragons Come to Drink - recorded the summer before during the Lion's Gate portal, 8-8-88. So I was drawn to that January concert!  ... After the amazing concert, I looked for the right book , picked up one on Chiron (Barbara Hand Clow's), the wounded healer ...  That fall, I saw an announcement for a talk on Chiron - at the same bookstore that hosted the concert! The catalogue was in the Mail, when I returned from offering a talk to on asteroids to a local Astrology group - how could I No...

Cats Invented Reiki

 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 her upcoming 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 f...
