What is Reiki?

What is Reiki? Reiki is healing energy. Reiki is all around you all the time. Reiki is within you, within me, and within that tree over there. Reiki is the energy of life. A reiki session involves using the practitioner's  body as a vessel and the hands as a "spout" for the reiki energy to flow into you. Once the energy is within you, reiki will go where it is needed most. Reiki can be used to balance chakras, promote self-healing, and to relax in the midst of a stressful situation. Reiki practitioners do not actually do the healing. Reiki, itself doesn't heal. Reiki energy basically helps you vibrate in a way that promotes self-healing. Our bodies are designed with an amazing built-in self-healing (immune) system, that works wonders, if the conditions within your body are correct.   When you receive a reiki treatment with me, be prepared to relax, in a BIG way. You will sit in a comfortable chair (for a quick treatment) or lie on a massage table (for standar

My volcano has been spewing and spitting, boiling and bubbling, on the verge of explosion over the last few days. But like I was supposed to, I managed to hold it in just a little longer. When I woke up this morning, I felt instant anger. Today WAS the day. I decided to finally take some time for myself. I had about

Just for today, I will not worry.      Worry drains your energy. The energy that you are using to worry about a situation is applied    toward manifesting the things that you're worried about. Keep your thoughts positive and trust that  all will work the way it is meant to be. Just for today, I will not be angry.       Anger, like worry, drains your energy. When you are angry with someone, you are giving your energy to that person. When you are angry at a situation, you are adding more fuel to that situation and in both cases, you're attracting more of the same into your life. Anger is a secondary emotion. Find out what is behind the anger and process those feelings. Just for today, I will do my work honestly.      If you have a gift, and you choose not to use that gift, then you are doing a disservice not only to yourself but to the universe. You are here for a reason. Find that reason. Put your all into fulfilling your destiny.       Just for today, I will gi
