King's Touch Reiki

  One of my favorite protects is to create Juju Journals and Smashbooks!  Whilst in the Color of Woman teacher training, our Red Thread SiStar  Catt Geller  wanted an option suitable for participants in recovery and low-income. She thought of using simple composition books - and  Cosmic Smashbooks  were born! Catt introduced ed a Smashbooking as a way to document and process during Color of Woman.  After my own graduation in 2015, I corresponded with Catt, and was granted permission to teach local classes for several years, before she began  her certification program.  I offer a simple journal making process in my Reiki 2 classes, inviting students to document their Reiki experiences. In these 'Good Medicine journals,' we used Apothecary vessels to transform  old stories  into  remedies .  Reiki 2 Good Medicine journals Composition books - inexpensive and readily available - provide a simple foundation for Journaling using...

  There are may ways to 'send' Reiki over distance of space and time. For several years , one I've used is writing prayers,  charging the with Reiki (sometimes drawing the symbols), and placing them in my Reiki box. I also invite friends and clients to write the prayers themselves.  Reiki Box The box can be folded from a card (here, I've the box for a chocolate bar) , and decorated as you wish. For this one, I've used acrylics and mod podge on brown packing paper.  Box and collage papers To  activate sending Reiki,  use the techniques you've learned. 'Turn Reiki on, ' draw the symbols, then focus energy on the Reiki Box. If you haven't taken Second degree, simple hold you box, and use your intention to Empower the healing.  Follow your instinct for how long and often to 'send' Reiki.'  You could keep your Reiki Precept cards in this box as well.  Blue crystal heart I placed this blue crystal heart in my Reiki box, and will tuck the pray...

 Embrace the power of the Equinox to fully embody Divine Timing and the power of the present moment!  So often we get caught up in "Should have, .... Could have, .... if only..."  And forget to enjoy the moment we are living!  In our Intentional art community, we often say, "there's no behind" ...  Perhaps you're on step 3, while others are on step 5 ...  What if we don't race to 'catch up,' but focus on the inquiries and lessons of step 3?  Someone is likely on step 1 or 2 ... which lay the foundation for the following steps.  When we rush to 'catch up,' often something important is overlooked - which may be perfect in its own way, and may be the reminder we need to stay present.h The Reiki precepts invite us to embody presence, and several begin, "just for today,'  This day, of equal day and night, may we find the balance of Divine Timing, and be present to the possibilities inherent in this moment!  JUST FOR TODAY, MAY WE BE P...

 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...

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...

When studying Intentional Creativity last year, preparing to become a Color of Woman teacher and IC coach, I needed to offer several Red Thread Circles and events. My teacher Shiloh Sophia invited me to consider the connections  between Reiki and the IC teachings, "I know there are connections, explore what they are." A Chinese legend tells that we are connected before birth with those whom we're destined to meet by an invisible Red Thread. Through out lives, the thread may twist, stretch and tangle, but will never break. We each hold, and are responsible for our own piece of this thread. I immediately saw a connection with my own Reiki Thread, and considered how to weave the IC teachings to support my Reiki students. In April on 2015, I included a simple red thread circle during our Reiki I class, inviting each initiate to share her piece of the thread. During 2nd Degree class in July, we incorporated the symbol practice sheets into a Medicine Basket journal cover...

What stories run your life? Can you imagine learning ways to identify and clear the ones which no longer serve? Can you feel into living unrestrained by the old patterns? Reiki and the soulful story process offer you that opportunity! Many of us live with past beliefs and old responses, which keep us from living the lives we long for. When we bring those old stories to light, we have a Golden opportunity to change the script. Reiki and Intentional Creativity alchemise the transformation, making a path for true change. The Reiki principles offer a set of guidelines which can help us define core values and  Soulful Story Cards change the stories. Adapting them from  principles set forth by the Meiji emperor, Reiki founder Mikeo Usui offered these ideals to his students: For today only Anger not  Worry not With appreciation do work To others be kind Show gratitude Reiki and Intentional Creativity offer many tools for personal growth and positive shifts...
