Journal - Apothecary vessels

Image
  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...

For men, begin with the smaller cord, sinking directly from the root chakra. Allow some time to experiment with differe...

Reiki, Lightweaving & the Violet Transmuting Flame

Image
This past summer, my friend & SiStar Reiki Master Sheila King offered a class on 'Lightweaving' to a group of Reiki Practitioners. Sheila was my small group leader at the Breitenbush Reiki Gathering in the early 90s, & I've appreciated her wise, warm presence and teachings ever since. Sheila writes : " Light Weaving is a method of healing that works primarily with the energetic body. Light Weaving restores missing connections in the energetic body, and also restores connections between the energetic body and the physical body. When missing connections in the energetic body are restored, the related dysfunctional area in the physical body receives more complete information and energy and so can restructure itself properly.  This restructuring not only happens in the physical body, it also happens in the related emotional and mental structures. And with this restoration, every pattern related to the dysfunction will heal. Usually with this treatment, people ...
