King's Touch Reiki

 Have you tried  EFT ?  This energy meridian therapy, which involves tapping on a series of meridian points, is an excellent modality! It's very effective on its own, and a wonderful compliment to Reiki. In EFT, points on the upper body (head, chest and hands) are tapped in a specific pattern - often as you repeat an affirmative phrase.  Several years ago, I enrolled in online EFT courses with  Graham Nichols , and I enjoy occasional group sessions with a local practitioner.  In a conference call, Graham suggested we choose a couple of positive characteristics, and tap on them morning and evening for the next 14-28 days. This is a lovely 'next step' following our 14 day Reiki challenge! Some possibilities: Ease and Well-being Love and respect Love and forgiveness Joy and gratitude Confidence and excitement Comfort and balance in times of sorrow Some wonder if combining Reiki and EFT might result in "too much" energy ...  on the contrary , I feel they ...

 Mrs Takata often told her students 'Hands on, Reiki on!' - emphasising how simple it is to connect with Reiki.  I liken doing a Reiki to charging a battery, if a battery is low, when you attach it to a charger, it 'draws' the energy it needs through the cord or jumper cables. When you take it off the charger, it no longer draws energy. Denise Linn - 'Flow ' When we place our 'Reiki Charged' hands on someone, they draw the energy through us - 'Hands on, Reiki on!' When we remove our hands, they no longer 'draw' energy.  Mrs Takata also suggested eating simple food, full of vitality, in the hospital, she likely received simple Japanese fare - rice, steamed vegetables, Miso soup, fresh water & green tea. Think of what will help you recharge!  Preparing for Initiation, and integrating afterwards, students are encouraged to eat consciously, healthy fresh food where possible. To drink a bit more water (which helps our human batteries re...

One of my artist friends, Karen Sue, paints each morning for 20 minutes on watercolor paper, and began making intention boxes! She's taking them to a Valentines Day event, and has a little poem about putting intentions in the box. I thought of our Reiki Boxes , what a great way to combine two intentional processes!!  My mom used to make pretty little boxes using old Christmas cards, as shown in this Karen Sue's intention boxes little tutorial !  Karen has made the  bottoms of her boxes deeper. This is an easy way to make a small box of your own, for Reiki prayers, gratuities, intentions. I'm eager to make some of my own! 

Do you struggle to create harmony between your obligations and personal time? Do you often run out of juice before you run out of day? Do old stories run your life? Are you exploring how to bring more creativity, joy and passion into your life? Do your actions and use of time/resources align with your values? When we combine Reiki with coaching, and add a dash of creativity, Magïc happens! Coaching within the Spiral assists as you integrate your current practices, open to new possibilities, and refine your goals. Reiki  reduces stress, supports relaxation, rejuvenation, and a return to wholeness. It heightens one's ability to connect with others in a deeper, more compassionate way.  Coaching is a collaborative partnership, fostering positive change, and creating with intention supports shifts that last. Adding Intentional Creativity projects puts the shifts into palpable form. The gentle energy of Reiki is an ideal complement to coaching. Blending Reiki, Crea...

A question students often ask is, " do we need to protect ourselves when offering a Reiki session?"  Well, no, ... yes, ... maybe!  No : In general, Reiki is"self adjusting," flowing where it needs to, in exactly the right amount, for both the practitioner and the receiver. Anything released returns to the earth and elements as energy. Reiki also recharges the giver during the session! Yes : Some individuals tend to take on others' energy more readily than others. Do you get easily fatigued in a large group? Are you sensitive to outside energies in everyday life? Try some of these suggestions, and observe what works best for YOU!  Intention : Taking a few minutes before and after a session to focus in and set your intention. You might think of this as "protection," or simply something you do! Invite anything released go into mama Gaia as compost, or hand it off to their guides and angels.  You may notice that your daily self-Reiki practice brin...

In a recent e-mail, my friend Reiki-Master sister 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 light that is Okuden. Initiation into Second degree gives us much more Light & energy to direct. ' With first Degree Reiki, we place our hands and the energy flows, beautifully, magically, what a blessing! It is unconsciously available at any time ... with Okuden, with deepening, w...

Plumeria In the Flower Essence Repertory , Patricia Kaminsky & Richard Katz write: " In selecting appropriate essences, one can start with the positive goal, and then uncover the emotional or mental pattern which blocks the purpose. Likewise, identify the client's pattern of imbalance or suffering, and then determine the positive quality which needs to be developed."  This applies when choosing an individual essence, or when formulating a combination, a  'bouquet.' I began making essences just before becoming a Reiki Master in 1991, and have used individual essences and 'bouquets' in my classes since the beginning. I find them helpful for the integration process and add a way to  reset  our fields.  I find essences often 'present' themselves to be included in bouquets, as soon as I set the intention of what I wish to address, both positive goals, & shifting blocks to achieving that goal . Here are the flowers I included in  'Hea...
