Reiki-The Healing Touch

I've always been interested in Mind Body Spirit connection. It was a time of my life that I needed healing myself- I gained weight, I was seeing an allergist and an acupuncturist. I realized that in order for me to share myself fully with the people I love and care about, I have to go to the center of my being and ask myself- WHO I AM ? and WHAT DO I WANT? It was three months before my graduation from The New York College of Health Professions (Holistic Nursing Program) when Reiki came to my life. What is Reiki?

Energy Portals: My Gift in Service

Every one of us needs help navigating through life. As Donne stated so clearly, "No man is an island," and it certainly does help being in community with one another. After all, we know the universe works on the principle that what we send out always comes back to us. So it certainly makes sense that in helping others we are also helping ourselves. Regarding service to others, I am a Light Worker who willingly offers a special gift that I have been given. . . unique images and accompanying messages that are "gifted" to me for the sole purpose of assisting others on their path.

Why I Disagree With My EFT Hero And What You Can Do

I often see bitter and angry comments (no doubt from people who were as starry-eyed as I once was), about anything that is not Gold Standard or Optimal EFT.

Nick Ortner was criticized very heavily when he first started it.

As someone who has sat on the then Reiki Regulatory Working Group in the UK, now known as the Reiki Council, I am delighted to see how seriously Reiki is being taken in the UK now.

WORKING WITH SYMBOLS The initiation into the second level brings the knowledge about using three symbols, whose application possibilities are limited only by our own visualization abilities. At the same time, it is good to bear in mind that the essence of Reiki is always in releasing what one wants to achieve (confidence that what needs to happen, will happen).r

Reiki Dreams

I had the most amazing dream last night. I dreamed that I was locating spots in the ocean. I believe these were areas that the earth was sending signals that needed healing energy. I would find the areas then I would call pods of whales. The whales would show up after I got to a location in the ocean, so I guess I called them. Also, high frequency cosmic energy would appear at these spots too. It appeared to me as a beam of white light. I knew the light beam was coming from outside the earth plane. The energy was amazing.

Why Some Say That Dieting Makes You Fat

Dieting is a great short-term solution, but for most people, it can become a long-term challenge. Some would go as far as saying that dieting makes you fat.

So what is going on there, and why do you sometimes hear that dieting makes you fat? To answer those questions, let us take a look at how the body works with respect to fat and energy.r

5 Ways to Help Reiki Flow Stronger When Someone is in Pain

Last night when my 5-year-old daughter had her first earache I was reminded how to most effectively give Reiki to someone in pain. She was crying, moaning and in the worst pai I’d ever seen her in.

The Reiki didn’t seem to be flowing strongly. So I got out my homeopathic remedies and gave a couple of rounds of those. Then I pulled out the Children’s Tylenol, for the first time ever for her.
