The Journey of Reiki: Unveiling the Path to Spiritual Growth

In the labyrinthine passages of life, we often find ourselves seeking deeper meaning and purpose. Amidst the daily struggles and triumphs, we yearn to connect with our inner selves and the world beyond our immediate senses. This quest for spiritual growth has been a recurring theme throughout my life, and it was through the enlightening art of Reiki that I discovered a profound and transformative connection with my inner being.

Reiki, a Japanese healing technique based on the concept of channeling universal life energy, entered my life at a time when I felt spiritually lost. I was introduced to this ancient practice, promising a path to self-discovery and healing at a healing retreat. Feeling very lost I decided to embark on this journey, keeping an open mind and heart.

The initial encounter with Reiki was a revelation. As the healing energy flowed through me, I experienced a profound shift in my consciousness. It was as though dormant seeds of self-awareness were being tenderly nurtured, awakening my senses to the subtle rhythms of existence.

Throughout the course of my Reiki practice, I began to witness an intricate dance between the physical and metaphysical realms. It became evident that our bodies, minds, and spirits are intimately interconnected. Reiki serves as a bridge, uniting these facets into a harmonious whole. By addressing energy imbalances and blockages within us, it clears the path for spiritual growth to flourish.

One of the most remarkable aspects of Reiki is its ability to unveil the layers of emotional baggage we carry. As I delved deeper into my own being during Reiki sessions, I confronted suppressed emotions and unresolved traumas. Through this process of acknowledgment and release, I found a newfound sense of emotional freedom and resilience. It became evident that true spiritual growth could not occur without facing the shadows within and embracing all aspects of ourselves.

Reiki also kindled an extraordinary sense of empathy and connection with others. As I channeled healing energy, I realized that we are all interconnected, sharing the same universal life force. This awareness deepened my compassion and reinforced the importance of kindness and love in every interaction. Reiki taught me that our spiritual growth is intrinsically linked to the collective journey of humanity, and we play an active role in uplifting one another.

As I continued to walk the path of Reiki, its influence extended beyond the healing sessions and into my daily life. Mindfulness and gratitude became constant companions, guiding me to savor every moment and appreciate the beauty in even the simplest of things. The pursuit of material possessions and external validation lost its allure as I discovered that true fulfillment lay in the richness of spiritual connection and inner peace.

With each passing day, the transformative power of Reiki strengthened my belief that spirituality is not confined to religious doctrines but is a universal force that transcends boundaries. It instilled in me a profound reverence for the mysteries of existence and ignited a yearning to explore the depths of the spiritual realm.

Embrace Your Inner Journey

If you, too, yearn for a deeper connection with your inner self and the boundless universe, I implore you to explore the path of Reiki. It is not a mere remedy for physical ailments but a gateway to spiritual growth and self-realization. Through Reiki, you can uncover the hidden facets of your being, heal emotional wounds, and forge a powerful bond with the world around you.

Start your journey with an open heart and mind. Immerse yourself in the healing energy. Embrace the vulnerability of self-exploration, for it is through embracing our vulnerabilities that we discover our strengths.

May you find solace in the wisdom of Reiki, and may it illuminate your path towards spiritual growth and a more profound connection with the universe.

Lose 20 pounds in 6 months

Lose 20 pounds in 6 months.

That’s what the doctor told me to do.

I went in for a diabetic checkup.

My A1C is 5.7!

For those of you unfamiliar with what the hell that means, 5.6 or lower is not diabetic. I’m almost there!!!

My blood sugar is fairly stable with the medication and diet that I have been following.

The diet sucks!

No grains, no sugar, no high carb fruits or veggies or dairy products.

I eat a lot of meat, cheese, nuts, and low carb veggies. I eat some sugar free candy, not a lot cuz it can screw up my gut. I eat a little bit of berries. I have a little half and half in my chai tea.

I’ve done rather well for 4 months sticking to it.

But I’m really missing CARBS!!!

The doctor said I can have some carbs if 90% of the time I’m sticking to the low carb plan. YAY!!!

In 2022 I dropped 40 pounds using intuitive eating. That means eating what I want, when I want, how much I want, as long as I’m listening to my body. I think I’ll try to implement that with low carb eating.

I’ve been using Reiki on myself to help heal diabetes too.

I’ll also be using Reiki to help me lose weight.

What is Magick?

What is Magick?

What is Magick? The kind spelled with the k.

Magick is the study and application of psychic forces. 

It uses mental training, concentration, and a system of symbols to program the mind. 

The purpose of magick is to alter the self and the environment according to the will.

 A little history…

Most of the magick we see today comes to us from ancient Egypt and Chaldea. The Chinese, Hindus, and Tibetans developed their own unique types of Magick.

Western Magick was locked up by the Egyptian priests for thousands of years and then suppressed by the rise of Christianity. It was not until medieval Europe that the alchemists and Cabalists rediscovered Magickal knowledge. 

Only during the past hundred years or so has western culture been open minded enough to permit widespread investigation of the subject. Only since the start of the twentieth century has science shown much interest in it all.

There are many different forms of magick, each with its own unique practices and beliefs.

Some of the most common forms of magick include:

• Wicca: Wicca is a modern pagan religion that emphasizes the use of magick for personal and spiritual growth. Wiccans often practice rituals such as circle casting, spell casting, and divination.

• Chaos magick: Chaos magick is a non-traditional form of magick that emphasizes the importance of individual creativity and experimentation. Chaos magicians often use a variety of techniques, such as sigils, invocations, and meditation, to achieve their goals.

• Hedge witchcraft: Hedge witchcraft is a folk tradition that emphasizes the use of local herbs, plants, and animals in magick. Hedge witches often work with spirits and deities from their local area.

• Traditional witchcraft: Traditional witchcraft is a system of magick that has been passed down through generations. Traditional witches often use a variety of tools, such as wands, cauldrons, and tarot cards, in their practice.

• Ritual magick: Ritual magick is a form of magick that uses specific rituals and procedures to achieve desired results. Ritual magicians often work with a variety of deities, spirits, and other entities.

These are just a few of the many different forms of magick that exist. There is no one right way to practice magick, and what works for one person may not work for another. The most important thing is to find a form of magick that resonates with you and that you feel comfortable with.

It is also important to note that magick is not always about achieving specific goals. Sometimes, the purpose of magick is simply to connect with the divine, to explore the unknown, or to express oneself creatively. Magick can be a powerful tool for personal growth and transformation, but it is also important to remember that it is not a substitute for science or medicine.

Forms of magick that I use:

• Meditation

• Crystals

• Pendulums

• Oracle Cards

• Tarot Cards

• Journaling

• Manifestation

• Energy Healing

• Astrology

• Human Design

• Grounding in nature

• Intention

I consider myself an Eclectic Witch. I pick and choose what I like and use that for as long as it feels like it's working.

How Reiki Helps Autism

Reiki can help both kids and adults with Autism.

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a complex developmental disorder that affects communication and behavior. There is no one-size-fits-all treatment for autism.

Reiki is a Japanese energy healing technique that promotes relaxation, balance, and well-being. 

There is an energy field that surrounds and interpenetrates the body. This energy field is disrupted in people with autism, which can lead to the symptoms associated with the disorder.

Reiki practitioners channel universal energy through their hands, restoring balance to the energy field and promoting healing. Reiki can be administered in a variety of ways, including hands-on touch, distance healing, and self-treatment.

Reiki has helped to:

• Improve communication skills

• Reduce anxiety and stress

• Improve sleep quality

• Increase self-regulation

• Decrease repetitive behaviors

Read what some parents have said after using Reiki with their ASD kids:

• "My son has been receiving Reiki for a few months now, and I have seen a big difference in him. He is calmer and more focused, and he is interacting with others more. I am so grateful for Reiki."

• "My daughter has autism, and she has always been very sensitive to touch. But when she receives Reiki, she seems to relax and enjoy it. I think it is helping her to feel more connected to others."

• "My son has always had trouble sleeping, but since he started receiving Reiki, he has been sleeping much better. He is also more alert and engaged during the day."

• "My daughter has a lot of anxiety, but since she started receiving Reiki, she seems to be much calmer. She is also more willing to try new things.

It is important to note that Reiki is not a substitute for traditional medical care.

If you or your child has been diagnosed with autism, it is important to work with a qualified healthcare professional to develop a treatment plan that is right for you. Reiki may be a helpful addition to your treatment plan, but it should not be used in place of traditional medical care.

If you are interested in trying Reiki for you or your child with autism, there are a few things you should keep in mind. First, it is important to find a Reiki practitioner who is experienced in working with children with autism. Second, it is important to be patient. Reiki is a gentle healing modality, and it may take time to see results. Finally, it is important to remember that Reiki is not a cure for autism. However, it may be a helpful tool that can be used to improve your child's quality of life.

If you are interested in learning more about Reiki, there are many resources available online and in your local community. You can also talk to your child's doctor or another healthcare professional about whether Reiki might be right for your child.

My personal experience with Autism started 26 years ago when my oldest child was born. I understand the struggles and heartache that comes with having a child with this disorder.

I didn’t find Reiki until she was 23. I wish I had earlier. I have seen how much it helps her now as an adult. She is now trained as a Reiki Level II practitioner and uses it on herself and her two children. 

I offer Reiki plus coaching sessions for adults and teens with autism, and parents of autistic children. I also offer Reiki only sessions for children with autism.

Reiki plus coaching sessions helps to heal the trauma caused by living in a society that isn’t set up for Autism, plus we work together to find ways for you to live in this society without picking up more trauma. 

Reiki only sessions are done distantly. This allows your child to receive the reiki without disrupting their routines.

What Is The Higher Self?

 

What Is The Higher Self?

 

Are we just a body with a personality? From my understanding, we are much more than that. Each one of us has a higher aspect. This higher aspect has been typically called the Higher Self. Others have also referred to it as the Oversoul or Overself.

 

Who and what is the Higher Self? The Higher Self is the intelligence and wisdom aspect of our own self. Ironically, the Higher Self is impersonal and does not have a ‘sense of self’ like the way our personality is. Nevertheless, it serves as a guiding aspect for the personality or ego.

 

Can this elusive higher self be contacted?

 Yes, and typically it is done through meditation or some other altered states of consciousness.

I first encountered my Higher Self through a guided meditation at a retreat.

She looks much like me, only healthier. She has a white aura around her, usually. Sometimes it is indigo or violet.

She's been where I have been. She knows where I am going. She is wise.

I can ask her questions and she will give me guidance.

She shows up in my Reiki sessions. 

If you would like help reaching out to your higher self, schedule a session with me.

Healers need Healers

Grief hit last night.

I had my daughter and her two kids over for most of the day. Even though there were fun parts, it was stressful and my blood sugar showed that.

After she left, I was exhausted.

My husband made dinner. It was a little higher carb than I really wanted, but I was grateful that I didn't have to make it.

While he was prepping for today's Dungeons and Dragons adventure, I watched a little YouTube, and drew on my tablet.

And I ate. 

And I ate.

And I ate.

UGH!

I know I'm an emotional eater.

I know I have tools to deal with being emotional.

But...

I didn't use them.

(head slap)

If I was a drinker, I probably would've drank too much. But alcohol makes my body flush all over and my it is really uncomfortable. So I'm not a drinker.

After I realized I was emotionally eating (recognition is the first step to fixing anything), I sat with my feelings. 

Sadness.

Grief.

Feeling alone.

Loss of future carbs (dessert, bread, rice, pasta, tortillas...).

FOMO

We go to a lot of social functions where we eat and even though I know there are other diabetics there, I see them eating stuff that I know will spike my blood sugar. I've been there before, when I've had Crohn's flares. I know what this is going to feel like watching others eat food that I can't have.

I know I can have these foods, that I can take more insulin to counter it, but that doesn't feel healthy.

So, I sat in those ugly feelings.

Why?

Because I know if I don't feel the feelings they will find a place to live in my body and wreak more chaos. I'm sure there are emotions that I didn't deal with that are behind the pancreatitis and diabetes. I haven't done the work to clear that yet. 

I didn't know I needed too. 

Because I didn't look there. 

I haven't done a full body scan on myself in a while. It's harder to work on myself than it is to work on you. 

You are easy.

I can find your shit easy. Clearing your shit is easy.

Healers need healers.

I've got shit to clear out around that. I'm still feeling very much like I need to DIY my healing. 

Feeling the need to DIY instead of paying someone else to do it is a trauma response.

SHIT!!!

It feels expensive. CRAP! That's scarcity. 

I guess I need to go find someone to book a session with.
