Mount Shasta on a clear day
If you have been absorbed with holidays, celebrations, people and travel, perhaps right now is a good time to set aside some time to center and focus, to clear yourself, your thoughts and your emotions, for this new year or new place in your life.
Someone not knowing about Reiki and reading this would think I’m singing a song line here – but this is the mantra my teacher sent us home with after completing Reiki Level I. We were to put our hands on ourselves and “do reiki do reiki do reiki” everyday! Just in time for the stresses of the holidays, here is an article about self-care! Read More→
by Pamela Kirstan in a newsletter I enjoy. It was titled “Whatever Floats your Boat” and in it she talked about the various and different spiritual, mental and physical trends and practices she has used and experienced at different times in her life, all of them adding to her journey, and then about what is floating her boat right now. The message was reassuring in that it embraces the fact that change is constant, and that we are constantly in a state of becoming, trying on that which fits us for a season or several and changing out what works for us as we evolve and grow.

Reiki and ConflictAt work we have a sign: Don’t Rile the Redheads
I work with the Irish – a Flaherty, a Gallant, and a McCarthy. Tempers can flare, and when they do sparks can fly and people duck down in their cubes. The office gets very silent and intense.
If you unwittingly walk into the middle of an exchange of tempers you can get hit – right in the solar plexus – the power center – and get the sunshine dumped out of your sails, like I did one recent morning.
Ablaze!
It is fire season, and having spent several years living in the West I understand what it is to watch the earth burn, breathe smoke and ash, stand on your deck and see the glow of fires around you and run the hoses and sprinklers through the smoky gloom of a not fully dark night to ensure dampness and safety. Sleepless in Idaho was not like sleepless in Seattle! Read More→
Follow Your Path
“Distance” Reiki healing involves opening to and realizing the oneness of existence through the practice of Reiki as learned in Level Two training, which allows the practitioner to bring the experience of a Reiki session to others who are not present, to open the flow of Reiki to present and past situations as well as to future situations for the highest and best healing good, and allows Reiki to flow across dimensions.

The opinions and thoughts expressed here are the result of my own experiences and observations and are purely that. They are not authoritative or medically substantiated, except where noted, but if they are not shared they are not accessible as part of a larger body of observation and knowledge.
Recently I was hired to bring Reiki to a late-stage dementia client by their family member. I have also given a session to an early stage person and their care partner. In addition to working with my recently passed mother, these experiences have brought a new dimension to my dedication to Reiki for Alzheimer’s. The early stage clients had just began a drug trial and it was difficult for them to assess what was attributable to each when more than one new experience was introduced, so we have decided to hold on continuing with Reiki until they are more settled. These brave souls are on an incredible journey and I respect their process, however this early-stage session raised observations and possibilites I would like to pursue further. Then there is my own path, where it is, and where it may lead, that I work with for myself each day through self-Reiki. I will explain.

A commonly asked question. There are several possible answers –
Some people have no perception of any kind during a Reiki session, others have positive results – peacefulness, relaxation, lightness, and some may feel a sense of disturbance Read More→
to keep her sleeping place clear after completing a clearing on the space.
I had an immediate thought about what she needed, but told her I would meditate and ask specifically for her. The result was a journey into exploring crystals for sleeping. I have come up with a basic set of three crystals for use that seem to be bringing about a peaceful, light and full sleep experience (I decided to try them myself with some good results.) Here is my crystal recipe for a peaceful sleep to promote healthy relationships in a clear space: Read More→
Last blog I talked about passive Reiki Energy. Everyone who is attuned always has the capacity for active Reiki Energy. It never goes away.

So how do you reconnect with a conscious sense of Reiki energy flowing in your life now, perhaps to use it actively to support you in going forward, in helping others or in getting through a difficult time? Read More→
