We are not taught to listen to our Soul, in fact, we are often taught to ignore it, to build our lives around an agenda that society, our parents, our peers —someone else— has told us matters. And we do live that way, starving our Soul, until it begins to make itself noticed, calling patiently to us again and again. We may decide not to make room for it in our life, to bury its message, until its call turns urgent and we become depressed, or we get sick or some terrible event shakes us out of our blindness.

How did I start using aromatherapy in my Reiki sessions? I actually came across Essential Oils before I started Reiki. I saw my friend using Essential Oils on her dog and it caught my attention. I started to do some research and eventually used Essential Oils on myself. As I started to study ...

Many people find the concept of spiritual guides, angels, Reiki guides, and enlightened beings to be beyond belief. This is often simply because they may not yet understand how to work with these beings of Divine love. Over my years of working with Reiki and following my soul’s longing to learn about the angelic realms and inner planes, I have developed a deep inner knowing that we have spiritual helpers, guides and assistance all around us, and within us. One of the first things that I learned is that we cannot receive non-emergency, angelic, or spiritual assistance unless we ask.

Who are we and how do we define ourselves? Are we simply the sum of all we do and accomplish? If asked to define ourselves most people will give a summary of their life’s work, accomplishments, and how they relate to others. For example, “I am a Doctor; I have a wife, and two children. My ...

copyright © 2011 Don Beckett A LOT of people have been asking this question privately for at least a few years. The answer is not one that most of us are eager to acknowledge. We tend to brush it aside and go on with our own work. But suddenly I feel we need to acknowledge it, for the sake of people who are just beginning to learn about Reiki. We need to let them know what Reiki is and what it isn't — because many of them are being fooled, and led in harmful directions.

There are two Reiki paths, the path of healing and the path of personal transformation. The most useful thing regarding the second path we can develop with Reiki is our creativity. The process of increasing one's creativity primarily means making several important decisions, adhering to them consistently and having confidence into the final result.

Karuna Reiki can bring soul recognition that complete peace is already within us all. The air was crisp and clear and the sounds of a nearby mountain stream were soothing my spirit. I had slipped away for a few moments of quiet introspection at the Karuna Reiki Retreat I was co-facilitating in Colorado this summer.

Before we define what an attunement is not, maybe it is easier to define what an attunement is. A Reiki attunement is a special form of initiation into Reiki at a certain level. During the attunement, the Reiki Master traps the energy into their body and pass it onto the student. This usually involves a form of ceremony or initiation, for example by leading into a meditation or having soft music. The attunement is said to tune the student into the Reiki channel, pretty much like we would tune a radio to a particular frequency.

Symbols, Initiations, Attunements There are many ways that people are introduced to and relate with Usui Reiki energy. There are a multitude of different teaching methods and initiation attunement styles. It is in the spirit of Reiki for practitioners and teachers to honor all manners of teaching and attunement.

This is a very common question in my inbox, and it goes something like this: "I would like to drink more water. I drink soda pop, tea, and coffee, and I'm ashamed to say I put sugar in my tea and coffee. It doesn't taste the same without it. But all diets and eating regimes say to drink more water instead. And I have a big problem with drinking water. I did very well in my weight loss last time, but I have put everything back on again, because I came off the wagon and lost all self control and willpower.

"Christian Reiki": good idea, or bad? I am a Christian and a Reiki practitioner (a pracitioner of what I call "Christian Reiki"), and I know very fully that what I am doing is "of God", and is really helping people to heal. I know this through observation and through my intuition. I do however know that there are those who don't believe this, and don't understand how Christian Reiki could be valid, and I respect the place they're at as well. I know various Bible verses are qu

Joshua Rosenthal's book "Integrative Nutrition" is an excellent resource for anyone who wants to explore and discover the truth about giant food corporations and pharmaceutical companies and how they affect the American diet; the strengths and weaknesses of the popular diets in the market; the reasons why we should listen to our body when we crave for certain foods, the Mind Body Spirit connection, healthy recipes and much, much more. Great pictures,layout etc.

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.

Our heroic life is demanding and inspiring. The possibilities of learning and gathering experiences are limited only by our imagination and courage. We wish to have something to guide us in direction of confidence, freedom and exaltation, and we wish to hope that it would make us better and more loved.

Have You ever wanted to get somewhere faster than humanly possible? Do You believe You have the capacity to warp time? Do You believe time is an illusion? Then read on… The first time I warped time, I had no idea that I was even doing so. I had no conscious thought about warping time. I was aware that time was an illusion though.

Whenever I am in the audience of someone who channels an ascended master, I am always humbled at the idea that we are loved so much on the other side of the veil by those of the Light who sincerely want us to hear important messages for our wellbeing. In that vein, I sought to raise my own vibration in order to be a channel for such vital communication.

I remember that time early on in my hypnosis career. This was before I had discovered EFT. I worked next door to a very good Chinese doctor and excellent acupuncturist. I wanted to take in the more challenging stop-smoking cases and had heard that the combination of acupuncture and hypnotherapy were producing great results. So I spoke to my acupuncturist colleague and we agreed that I send him the more challenged clients for acupuncture in combination with my hypnotherapy. We had success after success. People I had previously not been able to help were succeeding with relative ease.

I am currently promoting EFT, otherwise known as Tapping, as the number one method of stopping smoking. And you may well as - why is EFT the best way to stop smoking? EFT is in my opinion the best way to stop smoking because it can remove all the underlying reasons why a smoker smokes. When all the reasons for smoking no longer exist, there is simply no driver for smoking, no desire for it whatsoever, and smoking simply becomes a thing of the past. We are not talking about the most basic applications of EFT here.

Are you are facing a decision that you feel you can’t possibly make? Perhaps you are at a place in your life in which you know you cannot remain, and yet, you don’t have a clue where it is you should go. Maybe your life feels empty, meaningless, something is missing. Do you often feel depressed, do your moods change according to the company you are in and what is happening around you?

As a Reiki practitioner for about 10 years now, one of the most amazing things about the beautiful healing art Reiki is its versatility. Not only can an individual use Reiki’s healing energy for their own healing, it can be used to help heal others from any distance. It can be sent to a future situation as well as events in the past. Reiki can be used with other healing modalities such as crystal energy work, any other energy healing, EFT (“tapping”), and along with Western m

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.

WHAT IS REIKI? The treatment Reiki originated from Japan, and it is used for stress reduction and relaxation. Reiki is also valuable for promoting health. This treatment was developed by Dr. Mikao Usui, who traveled, studied and researched ancient Buddhist teachings and spiritual leaders. From these experiences and what he learned he was then able to develop the Reiki Method. Since then, reiki has spread all across the world. The technique is conducted by moving the hands o

Reiki has to be practiced and Reiki has to be believed. Once this is achieved, everything becomes easy and simple. We then wonder how it is possible that we did not know this before. 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

The Leader's position is surprisingly specific. It is often extremely demanding, but always inspirational. Doing it, one feels a great creative freedom and the possibility of a continuous personal development. In my previous years of managing and leadership experience, I tried as much as I could to continuously develop myself in achieving good results. What I have learned is that my results were always connected with performance of my team and that I must invest a great effort in improving the effectiveness of the people who work for me.r

Dr. Mehmet Oz in his recent show discussed different healing modalities, one of which is Reiki. What is Reiki? Reiki is Spiritually Guided energy. Reiki can be defined as a miraculous and sacred energy of the universe. Reiki is the name of the energy that is used by Usui Sensei for the cosmic/universal energy. Rei: Spiritually Guided, God's Love or Light, miraculous, mysterious, sacred. Rei guides the ki, the second Japanese character in the word Reiki and stands for life energy.

I always teach students in my Reiki workshops that Reiki will lead and guide them along their paths if they open themselves up to receiving Reiki guidance. I am a Reiki Teacher, yet the fuller truth is Reiki itself is the Teacher. I am a vessel that the energy and information goes through. Just as the Reiki practitioner is a channel for the healing energy to move through.

…thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself…leviticus 19:18 If we look at this, as it is worded in the fourth of the Reiki Principles, it appears to be fairly straightforward. It is pretty obvious to us that one of the most important things in this world is to love and respect others, show compassion and tolerance, patience and understanding etc. We also know that we must be kind to EVERY living being and this would of course include animals, insects, plants etc., etc.

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. Of course that’s hard to watch and not be attached to the healing results of Reiki. I instantly gave her Reiki to her ear. The pain didn’t seem to be going away. 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.

Before I got involved with Reiki healing.I was the type of person who ran around on nervous energy.It was my belief that we were victims to situations and events and the concept of creating reality mindfully and consciously was an alien concept. My understandings have changed radically over the years. During my own Reiki 1 course the penny started to drop that my attitudes and thought patterns influence my wider reality. I began to understand that I was the one creating my re

Have you started on your EFT weight-loss journey and find the weight not shifting like it would if you were dieting or doing boot-camps? Well, to lose weight, you need to eat less harmful foods, a moderate amount of healthful foods, and exercise more. When you first start your EFT journey of releasing old and unhelpful attachments, you are being prepared for that. You see, when people simply change their food habits without enjoying doing so, they end up feeling deprived, and more often than not, eventually put the weight back on.

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. Either that or you find yourself eating less and less, not to lose weight, but simply to maintain your weight. It is as if diets have an inbuilt failure switch that eventually turn themselves on for most dieters. It really does not seem fair, does it?! 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

Dear SelfGrowth Friends, Each new moon, I receive a vision and channel an accompanying message from the spiritual OverLight of the portal. The energetics of the image are explained, as well as the spiritual work that can be accomplished by going deep within the portal during meditation - or willfully visualizing the image. Although I have not painted in over forty years, I am guided and humbled to bring this information to others.

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?

Just for Today...I Will Not Worry "Worrying about something that may never happen is like paying interest on money you may never borrow. " The above quote is very apt for it brings home the absurdity of worrying! But we are human, and worrying is something we are very adept at, and do often. So how do we train ourselves not to worry? By training! By practicing...and by understanding where worry comes from and why it is just simply an energy draining, non-productive, past- time.

I'll never forget how I felt the day the vet told me that my dog, Rocky, was going to lose his paw due to a tumour. Rocky loved to run, it was his passion in life, and I knew that if he were to have that paw amputated, that his quality of life would suffer. I knew there was a better way, and that's when I turned to Reiki. I gave Rocky healing Reiki treatments daily and within 3 weeks that tumour went away. Rocky was able to run like the wind once again. I was able to help my

We have an opportunity during the energy enveloping us each new new moon, to put forth our intetentions of what exactly it is we want to manifest in our lives.

As a holistic lifestyle coach, many of my clients come to me because they want to lose weight. In addressing issues of weight gain; I take into consideration the underlying reasons of weight gain, knowing that it is about more than just the food people are eating. What I have found is that stress can lead to overeating as well as emotional eating. Think about when you are upset; do you tend to overeat or eat unhealthy "comfort" foods to excess? rnPerhaps being in uncomfortabl

We all want to start the new day refreshed and rested. However, if we cannot sleep, we can be tired upon awakening and tired throughout the day. We may find it hard to focus, making mistakes in our work. And of course, lack of sleep makes us irritable and feeling down. If you know someone with insomnia, you will be familiar with how debilitating it is. Insomnia can be defined as the inability to sleep through the night (for shift workers, this is the inability to sleep through your sleep time). This could manifest as difficulty going to sleep, difficulty staying asleep, or both.

"Look for the mysterious in life. Wherever you look – in the white clouds, in the stars in the night, in the flowers, in a flowing river – wherever you look, look for the mystery. And whenever you find that a mystery is there, meditate on it. Meditation means: dissolve yourself before that mystery, annihilate yourself before that mystery, disperse yourself before that mystery. Be no more, and let the mystery be so total that you are absorbed in it. And suddenly a new door opens, a new perception is achieved." - Osho Yes, words of wisdom indeed.

Weight-loss, in my experience, is best done by losing the reasons why we overeat, under-exercise, sleep very little, or are mega-stressed. All of these reasons have been proven to contribute to weight loss. Emotional Freedom Techniques, in most of its forms, involves saying what we desire that does not serve us, whilst stimulating special acupressure points to release these feelings at their energy source. Without the energy fuelling the feeling, the vast majority of tappers release the negative feelings leading to their reasons why they got overweight.

Copyright © 2009 Don Beckett As I write this (August 2009), here in the good-old U S of A, there's a raging debate over what to do about "Health Care." Western Medicine, of course, is the king on the throne of Health Care. And "Health Care" is post-Orwellian code for the manipulation of the symptoms of disease. The turmoil over Health Care is about who will pay for the Pills, Procedures, and High-Tech Machinery involved in that. Diagnosing the "Health Care" catastrophe

In energy healing terms, an addictive substance or behaviour is something that one partakes in to alleviate anxiety. And to most people, that seems totally against everything they believe in.

‘Reiki’ is a Japanese word and means ‘universal life-force energy’. In the last part of the 19th century a Japanese priest, Dr Mikao Usui, rediscovered a way of channeling this healing energy, creating the Usui System of Natural Healing, which is now better known as ‘Reiki’. Reiki is a totally safe, non-intrusive hands-on-healing technique for physical ailments, but it is much more than a physical therapy. It is a holistic system for healing body, mind, spirit and

What does it mean to forgive? What’s the purpose? Why should we forgive? Since practicing Reiki for the last 11 years, I have seen many people forgive themselves and others. Reiki can assist in clearing the energies of anger and resentment, and help people to forgive in a gentle and loving way. Forgiveness is never about the other person. It is always about us. It is about letting go of the feelings that have been holding us back, weighing us down, and keeping us stuck. It

When learning energy healing, one soon learns that for most people, the right side of us is the male side and the left side is the female side.

However, for most people it goes something like the following.

Most of us have been heart-broken at one time or another. The pain is immense, almost unbearable. Maybe you listen to sad love songs, maybe you cry or drown your sorrows, or perhaps you just go about the day in a complete daze, hardly able to function or get motivated to do anything. You want to be with that someone, you want to call them, hear that loving voice again, feel the warmth of their embrace, be with them; and then you remember that you can no longer do that. Where there was love and happiness is now a painful void. What do you do?

Many years ago, when I had my very first spiritual healing session, I was told that I had several spirit attachments and, during the session, they were released to the light.

As a dedicated Reiki professional, one thing I find incredibly frustrating is an almost universal belief in a number of 'Reiki myths' amongst Reiki practitioners and Reiki teachers.

There just isn't enough time in the day; between taking to the kids to school, going to work, grocery shopping, taking the kids to their sports practices and events, housework, ect...

So, you have trained in one or more complementary or alte ative therapies and are hiring a treatment room or have set one up somewhere suitable in your home. Now, you will want a return on your investment. Or maybe you are happy with the odd client here or there, but your partner would like to see a return on investment (ROI). This is an important consideration. Everything you do has to be with ROI in mind.

I feel Reiki is a crucial foundation for anyone who is trying to heal. When I am channeling Reiki energy to a client, I am calling on a higher source to offer healing energy to that person where ever they need it. That is the amazing thing about Reiki. It doesn't matter how old you are, ...

Reiki is an ancient method of healing that has been used for centuries. Since it’s reintroduction in the early 20th century, various methods have been produced and one of them although considered by some as radical is called Feiki Reiki.nnBut why is it a radical form of Reiki? This is because the technique not only recharges your energy but it also awakens your senses. This makes you realize that nothing lies outside ourselves when the power and everything else we need

Western Reiki evolved and, there was a concept that the Reiki practitioner was liable if they touched a person. Then there was the knowledge that the ministers of different religions did a form of reiki by Laying on of Hands . It was assumed that Ministers were exempt from the laws of the state and if one could become a Reverend then they would be exempt from liability and gain a sort of credibility. What actually happened was when a person who didn't know what Reiki was saw

Everything is energy, be it a particle or a wave. That is what Quantum Physics has recently discovered. It is also the premise that Oriental medicine and indigenous world-views have been operating on for centuries. Since everything is energy, so is the human being, so are you. Your body, your emotions, your thoughts… it’s all energy. When your vibrations are low, you feel heavy and slow, emotionally, you are unhappy or depressed, and spiritually, you are cut off from your knowledge of your Source.

As we age, we do so many things to attempt to get and stay healthy or try to maintain feeling well. We spend thousands of dollars on vitamins, herbal supplements and exercise equipment to be sure we live a long and healthy life, right? Well, what about another type of preventative medicine… ...

My very first introduction to Reiki was in 1994. I had never heard of it until a good friend of mine told me about it. It was during one of our long phone conversations about there being something lacking in our careers as health care workers. She was a health educator for the Board of Education of New York and I was working as an HIV prevention educator for the New York City Department of Health, although I was also working per diem as an HIV Care Nurse for a private nursing

My relationship with Reiki started long before I even knew the word "Reiki". My first "teacher" was my beloved cocker spaniel named Prince. I was convinced he could read my mind which I later learned he was actually reading my energy. Prince was my constant companion, my playmate, my friend, as well as my teacher. He had a way of making me smile even in my darkest moments...you see I had what most would call a nightmare for a childhood. When I was down, he would nudge me with his muzzle in an attempt to get me to pet him.

What do "Colour, Sunshine and Sleep" have in common? Nothing is more effective then lifting your mood with sunshine, a natural anti-depressant! Sunlight is our main provider of light, heat and energy. Light consists of the seven colour energies: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. These colours have each a different wavelength and vibrational frequency, which hold various attributes and affect us differently. Science has proven that certain colours can calm the mind while others stimulate mental activity. Light is colour nutrition for the body and our general well-being.

Reiki can be a powerful tool for personal growth and healing. The energy of Reiki originates from the ultimate spiritual source. As such, it creates only the best results. Reiki is used to heal the spirit, mind, and body. It is also used to guide one’s life. Use it to develop your talents. Improve yourself and everything else around you. These are just some of the practical applications of Reiki the moment you choose to be attuned to it.nnLearning Reiki’s self-hea

We all have the innate ability to improve the quality of our lives. When I first began to explore the areas of alte ative, complementary, and energy field medicine in the 1990’s, I didn’t fully comprehend how dependent our culture had become on pharmaceutical science to “fix” the problems of well being we faced in our lives. Recently, America’s current medical establishment has acknowledged the mind-body-spirit connection and, as a result, has begun to conduct formal studies

There is only one way to lose weight and it is simple...Burn more calories than you consume. That is it, pure and simple.

These issues have to be focused on during the entire healing session. They have to be more than willing to release and eventually heal such issues. Recip

The word empowerment is often misconstrued and misunderstood. Many people believe that having power is bad, frightening, or being empowered will keep them separated from others. Many of us give our power away to other people. It happens all the time. It may be your husband, wife, girlfriend, boyfriend, boss, co-worker, parents or your children. Maybe we think that they know more than we do or that they know what’s best for us. Maybe we don’t want to be in conflict, so we

The Reiki Touch: Healing by hand is part of our human heritagenby Steven McFadde Every person has the ability to channel healing energy through his or her hands. It is part of our human heritage. In fact, laying-on of hands may be the oldest healing modality we have, dating back many thousands of years, and it appears near universally in cultures around the globe. Rather than seeming unusual or phenomenal, healing by laying-on of hands should seem profoundly familiar for it

Reiki is the union of two Japanese words, “Rei” (meaning “spiritual/divine consciousness”) and “Ki” (meaning “life force energy). Reiki is “Divinely Guided Life Force Energy”. The Chinese call this energy “Chi” and the same energy is known as “Prana” in Sanskrit. Reiki was founded by Mikao ...

A common question from EFT newcomers is about reactions to EFT like yawning, sighing, giggles, tears, burps, and laughter. Yawning can be a particularly confusing reaction, as we connect it to tiredness, boredom, and exhaustion. For some tapping newbies, it may be alarming to yawn, especially if the person has a tiring physical or emotional condition. It may feel like a warning sign that they are about to get worse rather than better. Fortunately, nothing can be further than the truth.

Reiki for the dyingr In recent weeks my father has been making the transition between life and death. In this transitio I have been using a Reiki technique developed by myself and Dr. Harold Bob of Season’s Hospice to ease his pain, and to make his passing more comfortable and less fearful for him. The technique used is slightly different from the Reiki used on people who are not in the active dying phase. When someone is transitioning, most of the energy below the waist begins to shut down and no longer functions.

Traditional Medical Practitioners (TMP) are now encouraging people to eat less animal flesh for many different and equally valid reasons. Most of the reasons relate to the fat content or the method of cooking. I have yet to hear TMP’s discuss the reasons I do not eat animal flesh especially beef. My first reason is probably the most emotional reason which is they are adorable; there I’ve said what most of you are probably thinking. Aside from their big brown eyes and wet nose, there are other reasons I choose not to eat them.

Pregnancy is a special time in a woman’s life. It’s a time of great change, and these changes often mean increased stress. During pregnancy, the expecting mother’s state of relaxation is important both for her own health as well as that of the child.

The life energy that Reiki promotes aids in the development of the child bot

With the number of teachers, trainings, and institutions teaching Reiki, interested apprentices are at a loss as to where and who to enroll under in order to receive the Reiki attunements necessary to practice the art.

Reiki healing has a lot to do with harmony, music, sounds, and drums. Healing through Reiki requires rhythm. And that’s something that has to be achieved for healing to take effect. nnDuring one’s childhood, adults tend to see children rather than hear them. This concept has to change because in today world, people are remembered with the sound that they make. Sounds are a person’s participation in the symphony of life.

This week I was mainly obsessing about cakes and worrying about my blood sugar after reading The Sugar Addict’s Total Recovery Programme. I love rituals and ceremonies, especially those involving cake - I even started collecting photos I’ve taken around the world, put it on my Facebook in an album - World Cakes I have Eaten and their Significance. :) I’m going to justify this need to comfort eat and get satisfaction from sweet things by sharing this extract from the Yoga Cookbook: At the end of any satsang prasad (blessed food) is distributed.

Reiki which is pronounced as Ray Key is a holistic healing system that uses universal energy to heal an individual. In order for this to work, you have to be trained by a Reiki master. Since its rediscovery in the early 1900’s, various forms have evolved and some of them use Reiki music. nnReiki music is used to create calm and peaceful atmosphere in order for the healing to take place. This is available for download while some retailers sell these in CD online. One exa

When I first heard of Optimal EFT, I was amazed by what I had been missing all those years of doing Reiki. It is such a simple refinement, and although not always suitable, it is a real gem in most cases where a client wants a punchier Reiki or Spiritual Healing session. Since I have been trained in Seichem Reiki (what is sometimes called Reiki and Seichem or Tera-Mai Reiki), this is the basis upon which I have chosen to make the comparison.

To better understand self one must become familiar with the multiple dimensions of our being and the intelligent energy that works through these dimensions of spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical self. This understanding will lead to embodiment, realizing the divine self within and then manifesting it in our physical form. The enlightened self is able to make use of this power for healing, personal growth, and experiencing a better connection with the creative source. n

Reiki healing can go very smoothly for the new practitioner. That is, until a strange or scary experience happens, such as feeling a sharp or sudden pain as a consequence of channeling the Reiki energy for the client. This is especially since the energy not only goes into the client but out of the client as well.

One of the remarkable things about Reiki is that you can have a Reiki treatment from a distance. You might have a busy schedule or maybe you are unable to physically attend a Reiki treatment.

In her book she talked of having your angels or healing team run Reiki while you sleep, thus providing "gentle energy clearing and integration".

I was amazed when reading this and asked my Reiki guide if this was possible. The response was "Yes." I then asked if my guide and angels would p

Insomnia can be exhausting. Sleep is something that most of us take for granted. And yet, when we cannot sleep, this can have consequences on everything in our lives, from our performance at work to our health, and even our weight. Insomniacs typically try everything first then find out about EFT, and then for some it works a charm. For others, it does not seem to work. Here is a list of the most common tapping mistakes.

A long time ago, before my extensive experience in holistic health, when I was a saleswoman for courier delivery services with very little holistic knowledge, I had strong opinions about disease and stress. I was convinced that stress has very little impact, if any at all, on disease. To be honest, this is because I had been told that I had a psychosomatic illness that was a pure construct of my mind, and nothing could have been further from the truth, as doctors have correctly diagnosed later.

I am honored to write about the truly amazing children I have met who possess remarkable abilities to heal, see energy fields, and embrace a 6th sense. I vowed to one day write their story, and now the excitement of publishing a book about them -- and the many others who are being born now with spiritual abilities, is exhilarating! What makes this book unique is that it explains our changing world and shows how spiritually gifted children are an integral part of our evolutio There are easy to read guidelines for parents who are raising such remarkable kids.

Time and time again, when helping people with weight loss emotional blocks, this one comes up. As a matter of fact, it is a big block in the way of releasing any habit that does not serve us. And eating more than we should for our optimal health and happiness is the main habit involved in gaining or keeping unwanted weight. And this big block is the emotion of deprivation. Deprivation is a big one. Most people do not realize this until they tap for it, and suddenly, many deprivation issues come to the fore for healing.

This Reiki Principle And Becoming A Full Time Practitioner "I earn my living honestly" and "Devote yourself to your work" are two interpretations of the Reiki Principles gifted to us by Mikao Usui. I took them literally and lived as an energy practitioner since. So, how do you do it? One of the challenges that face many an alte ative or complementary therapist and practitioner is that most work available out there is self-employed. There are of course opportunities for an employed job. But they are very rare.

EFT, short for Emotional Freedom Techniques, is a great holistic healing method that has worked wonders before my eyes. In my opinion, the name does not do the method justice, as it can help with so many physical conditions. Having used this method for many years, I am still amazed when I see yet another unexpected result. This is especially so when the logical part of me has already deemed it impossible.

When I worked in a busy clinic the City of London, I was one of the most sought-after massage practitioners. And yet, for most of that time, I only had the basic ITEC qualification in Anatomy, Physiology, and Body Massage. And even though I later added Deep Tissue and Indian Head massage to my repertoire, I can honestly say that the actual strokes themselves that I gave was not so special as to give me so many happy clients. It was something else.

The success of a stop smoking treatment depends on the underlying factors that lead to a desire to smoke. The more factors there are, the longer it takes. By the same token, the less factors there are, the faster the road to success.

How do you improve your self-confidence? In NLP, there us a very simple answer. NLP is short for Neuro Linguistic Programming. It works by seeing what it is that successful people do and say, and then mimicking that. In other words, if you say what a successfully confident person says, others will see you as confident. And when others see you as confident, people will treat you with respect as that confident person. And that will give you more self-confidence.

Does Reiki really work? Usually you just have to ask the person that has received a Reiki treatment if it works or not. Of course, "works" is a subjective term in some cases. If someone receiving a treatment has nothing wrong with them, they still will receive benefit from the treatment. Reiki helps the person get to a deeply relaxed state in a short period of time. In fact, a 15 minute treatment is equal to an hour's nap. A typical response from one at the end of Reiki treatment is "That was amazing!" The recipient usually feels very refreshed and revitalized, just after a short session.

This is a scam that was attempted on me. Of course, I did not fall for it. I contacted my web person, who told me it was a well-known scam, explained to me how it is done, and informed me how I can report it to the authorities, in order to help other therapists that may be targeted by this person or persons. This is the story. As you can see, it started very convincingly...

Mindfulness and the Power of Living in the Moment Before discussing Mindfulness itself, just some food for thought which will lead us into a full discussion of the topic… Previously I wrote about the power of forgiveness in helping us get out from under the Shadow of the Past.

What is the perfect body image? What should we really aspire to look like? Do women have to be the smallest size, or will a medium do? Do men have to be muscular everywhere? Do we have to fit into skinny jeans? Do men have to wear tight trousers when in fashion? Do women have to wear make-up every day? What is the right look?More to the point, do you find yourself sometimes ashamed because you don't look quite like those in magazines and on TV? Do you hide behind make-up (for women) or big muscles (for men)? If not, would that make you feel lesser than others? If so, read on.

Someone with low self-esteem can be limited by beliefs that they do not even know are in their way. These beliefs may have been your "normal" for so many years, that they seem to be the absolute truth. However, there is no absolute truth. There is your truth, my truth, his truth, her truth; everybody's truth is different. However, there are some beliefs that are held in place by energy blocks created in the past, in childhood, or even beyond. Are you ready to challenge your beliefs and see if they are real or if they resonate as absolute truth? If so, read on.

What is especially challenging being an EFT Practitioner is that EFT is not mainstream, and therefore not widely known or searched as yet. For example, the mainstream online business directories does not have a section for EFT Practitioner. So you need to know and sell to your market even more cleverly than, say, a Massage Therapist. What is your EFT Practitioner personality? Is it calm? Is it feisty? Is it excited? Is it frank? Is it diplomatic? Is it caring? Is it no-nonsense?

Does any of this sound familar to you? I never really seem to lose the desire for ice cream; I still cannot resist chocolate; I love eating treats and goodies. Do you find yourself tapping on these things, but still want to (and often do) eat them anyway? Should you initially at least, force yourself not to eat those lovely treats and goodies? In my experience, I would say never force yourself. Try tapping on all the points, in preparation for the next module, one sentence a point, no numbers (SUDS), no Setup or Reminder:r

If you are an existing or budding Reiki healer, this is one in a series of articles to help you along the way. First of all, let me congratulate you for walking this path. Reiki is a beautiful energy and way of life, and it is wonderful to help people heal, grow, and develop. Well done for having come this far, and for caring!

EFT is short for Emotional Freedom Techniques. It involves a mixture of stimulation of certain acupressure points whilst saying releasing wording. I am happy with the "Emotional" in the name if we define an emotion as any mental or physical manifestation caused by an energy disruption which, in turn, was initially caused by a psychological or physical trauma of any kind.

Sometimes Reiki Healers go to a healing share group and find there are silly rules to stick to. In the bad old days in the UK, there used to be a rule at many a Reiki share that only healers from a specific variation of Reiki were allowed to join. I ear that in Cape Town, some Masters giving share groups are even more exclusive. For example, anything to do with aura reading is forbidden, because that is supposed to be part of a kind of Reiki that has a non-disclosure agreement.

Most of us know someone who accuses us of wrong-doing whenever we ask that they do what they should have done. For example, you may have a colleague who should have finished some work by a certain deadline, and your part of the work depends on their finished work. And when you ask for their work, they accuse you of being domineering, complain about you to HR, or just say that you are not their boss, or something like that.

You may have seen some EFT videos or tapping scripts that tell you to say "I am fed up with this pain" for one round, followed by "I want to get rid of this pain" for the next round, then "I want to be pain-free" for the third round. Or you may have been advised to do one negative round followed by one positive one, all the way through. Hence why you are reading this article on what to say for Pain in classical EFT. Because sometimes it works for you, and sometimes it does not.

In classical EFT, originally founded by Gary Craig and now championed by many famous EFT practitioners such as Nick Ortner and his great team, we tap on a problem until it gets to zero. The zero point is a neutral state of feeling or emotion, whether that emotion is a physical pain, a craving, or an emotional pain. This is measured on a scale of 10 - 0, where 10 is the worst we can feel and zero is neutral.

One of the most frequently asked questions in EFT is how to do surrogate EFT. Surrogate EFT is also called proxy EFT, proxy tapping, distant EFT or distant healing by EFT or Tapping. It all means the same thing. The person or animal you are tapping for can be with you or far away. It does not matter. You can tap for them using your own body. So you use your body as a surrogate for their body.

"I earn my living honestly" and "Devote yourself to your work" are two interpretations of the Reiki Principles gifted to us by Mikao Usui. I took them literally and lived as an energy practitioner since. So, how do you do it? How can you use your complementary or alte ative health skills to live your authentic vocation dream?

If this is for you, let me say that my heart goes out to you, as I know from experience what it feels like when you are faced with this situation. There are decisions to be made, in order to keep your beloved fur-baby comfortable and as free from suffering as possible. It is heart-wrenching, no matter how you look at it. But maybe we are all transient beings in animal form, and maybe the most important element now is to have a calmer energy. This helps both you and your dog.

Can you pump up your self-esteem? How about being your own cheerleader? Does that sound scary or do-able? Whichever it is, I hope this can help. First of all, if it sounds like a scary or unsafe thing to be your own cheerleader, this is where and energy healing modality like EFT comes in. If EFT is not for you, then you may prefer Matrix Energetics, Reiki, Spiritual Healing, Theta Healing or any of a number of effective modalities to help you get there. Secondly, you can try the following exercise.

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. This is why I ask for open minds, open hearts, and more positivity. It is all too easy for people to attack what is out there that brings people to EFT. Take The Tapping Solution, for example. Nick Ortner was criticized very heavily when he first started it.

If you are looking to think more confidently, what you want is a mind that is controlled by you yourself rather than those all too familiar negative and self-critical thoughts that creep in. Well, in EFT, short for Emotional Freedom Techniques, those negative and critical thoughts are said to be kept active by an energy disruption. So by releasing it and helping your energy flow, your thoughts turn more to self-confidence.

Have you watched Late Night with Conan O’Brien recently? Well I don’t usually watch the show because it comes on during the time I am working. But last night I was having trouble keeping focused on my work, so I though I would take a break and watch it. Now, if you are like me, you have music ...

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. Of course, there are many that do not realise the benefits. However, at the end of the day, it is about choice. A Reiki Healer can choose to be officially recognised or choose not to.

Want to feel more self-confident? Want a better image to project to others? Start by forgetting everything you see in the papers and in magazines about the supposedly perfect body image: So you walk into a dinner party or family gathering and instantly feel awful because you are not the thinnest, strongest, blondest, blackest, biggest-eyed, smallest-nosed, or whatever the press says you should be.

If you have been abused as a child in any way and this affects your confidence, first of all recognize that the love has to come from you. This is hard, if you have been trained by parents/guardians/people in authority that you were not lovable. Of course, this is to justify their abusive actions. But the net result is your feeling unlovable. So how can you love yourself if you believe you are unlovable? What a conundrum. However, it is not without solutions.

Maybe you have studied EFT or a similar tapping or wellness modality. You may have been first attracted for your own well-being, and delighted with your results, then wanted to go out and help the world! You studied to the highest level you could, then waited for clients to come... And this is where most people give up and go back to having a "day job". But it does not have to be that way.

Reiki finds its way into our lives in many different ways. And it has found its way into the Big Brother house again just now. I am not sure how I feel about that. I can see that there is a lot of good in Reiki on reality TV shows, and I can also see that it is not exactly best represented on them. So is it a good thing, a bad thing, or just a thing?

Most of us could do with a little more self-love. After all, if we love ourselves more, we can allow ourselves to achieve more, we have more self-esteem, we can attract people to us that are attracted to the energy of love, and we can feel love. And love is a great feeling.

There are now many variations on EFT as the techniques and their variations develop. Here is one simple way to do EFT, otherwise known as Tapping, amongst many other variations. It uses the dissociated state. This means that you are distanced from the traumatic event you are seeking to release from your energy system. When we have a safe distance between us and a trauma, it is easier to deal with.

I get this in my inbox, and it goes like this: "Since my teens, I have suffered bouts of acne. And I notice when my skin is clear and someone gives me a compliment on my skin, I come out in spots. The same thing happens with weight. If someone compliments my figure, I stop looking after it. There is an energy block somewhere, and I need to release it." Here is a simple Tapping suggestion to help. Imagine there are two of you. One is the Logical You;

You may well wonder how effective the Reiki can be with distractions around. There may be a television in the background, you may have a teenage child or a share a home with someone who plays loud music, you may have a young baby who wakes up crying for attention in the middle of your self-healing, an elderly parent who suddenly needs to be taken to the toilet, children to listen out or look out for, or any number of things.

We all berate ourselves from time to time. Some of us more than others. And constant negative self-talk cannot be helpful for our self-esteem and self-confidence. You can try noticing next time you hear a critical voice inside your head. Be aware of what it is saying to you, and let us diffuse it with EFT. EFT, short for Emotional Freedom Techniques, has the power to release emotional blocks completely. It does this by a specific combination of stimulation of acupressure points along with releasing wording. So EFT is great at diffusing and dissolving negative self-talk!

In our modern day world we have forgotten how to sit in absolute stillness, breathe and meditate waiting for Spirit. From our conception we are surrounded by a cacophony of noise. We have music, television, car noise, crowds, all clamoring for our attention. We’ve grown so used to this hectic ...

There is a new 419-type activity coming from a far-Easte country. This is especially important to note if you are in an industry where confidentiality is needed. For example, if you are a therapist. Someone from a business online networking site I belong to has tried to do some very dodgy deal with me away from the site. He contacted me on Skype and asked that I keep his contact confidential. Naturally, as a healer, I thought he had a problem that he wanted to solve for which he wanted reassurance it will remain confidential. So I agreed.

EFT, short for Emotional Freedom Techniques and otherwise known as Tapping, is an acquired taste. It took me a whole year to try it and I was hooked immediately. And different people have different initial feelings about it.

We are our own worst enemies sometimes. We can be so cruel to ourselves. "How could I have posibly said That?", "I'm too fat", "How could I have done something so colossally stupid?", "I don't have anything interesting to add to the conversation", "Surely this person will not like me when they really get to know me", "I'll never be as good as this person at this job", and so on. Does any of that sound familiar?

Can you literally use your fingers to stimulate your upper body and get rid of stress? Well, that is what we do with EFT, short for Emotional Freedom Techniques. We stimulate the upper body with the fingers whilst connecting to whatever is stressing us, and usually, the stress then goes away and we wonder what all the fuss was about.

You may have suffered some low moments, maybe friends tell you you should love yourself more, or perhaps a therapist has suggested it. You may have read various self-help books about how to find this elusive self-love, all in vain. Whenever you look to improve your self-confidence, up pops self-love in yet another book, manual, therapy session, or workshop. "Enough already", you may think, "I have tried this self-love thing, and it's not working. Why can't I just be calm or happy without this loving myself stuff?"... And that is a really good point.

In my industry, there are many caring people. After all, it is a caring industry. We care for humans and animals. We post about abandoned, neglected, and abused animals on social media. We do our best to raise awareness. I do wonder, however, about the people who dump their animals at a shelter.

What can one expect after having had an “Angelic visitation”? Have you ever wondered how your life might be impacted after having such an amazing experience? Well Suzanne O’Brien knows first hand.

FIRST of all, let's acknowledge that much of what is passed off as Reality nowadays is just the opposite. For example, any kind of medicine except pharmaceutical drugs, nuclear radiation, and surgery, is commonly called Alte ative Medicine. The implication is that drugs, radiation, and surgery are Real Medicine, and any other kind of medicine is Fake Medicine. People easily accept this notion, especially because most of us have such a profound ignorance of history.

When should we give help or advice and when should we bite our tongue and let the matter be? It is a hard call sometimes. What to do when faced with an urge to say or do something which we perceive to be helpful, even essential? But is it really? How can we really tell? We all want to help others. Well, most of us anyway. Altruism is often said to be a quality that has evolved in us in order to live together as a society. But when we want to help others, when are we truly being helpful and when are we making things worse?

It was his turn to look after his toddler son. And it was morning, time to soak his skin thoroughly in hot water in the shower, so he would be very smooth-shaven when he shaves. His son was crying. He could hear it but was not listening. The voice of self-criticism was louder. It said to make sure there was not a hair out of place, not a bump of skin. He was frantic, a morning ritual normal for him.

With this in mind, here are a few pointers about what constitutes EFT, Tapping, or EFT Tapping (The distinction will become clear). Every form of EFT has these elements in common:

Hands that Wield Power: A Beginner’s Guide to Reiki My grandfather had been a postmaster for nearly 40 years before he retired. They say the strains of the best work usually appear later, and that’s exactly what happened: he developed a serious heart disease and a number of side effects; ranging from stomach problems to poor immunity. By the time he was sixty, his body had prompted him to retire before his mind had intended to. Now, my grandfather was what you would call

Do you have your own quirks, mannerisms, and eccentricities that you hide fro your therapy clients? It is your own special traits and uniqueness that make you different from anyone else in your business.

Many of us are taught that self-praise is selfish and immodest. Some have even been taught that it was wrong. Or perhaps it was indirectly inferred that it was wrong. For example, we may as children have heard our mother, father or teacher say "look at her, she's so full of herself" or look at him, he is always bragging about his latest car". Some of us are even taught that we must be "humble", be ashamed of ourselves, or not blow our own trumpet.

Reiki therapy is often remarked upon for the benefits sceptics receive following Reiki treatments. Reiki energy is not driven by conscious thought. It is directed by the deeper mind, the subconscious aspect of a person. When you breathe or when your heart beats, are you thinking about it? Are you controlling these important functions with your conscious mind? It is ironic perhaps that most adults assume we need to be thinking in order for things to happen. Yet, when it comes

Have You ever thought to send Reiki to historical events? Anyone effected by a historic event across time and space has the possibility of being restored to wholeness when you send Reiki to the past. Imagine the healing energy going across time and space causing the DNA of everyone to be healed. Can you feel the Reiki restoring wellness to thousands of people? So there's no hooks from the past eroding our enjoyment of life here in the now.

HEALTH TIP: I wanted to share some truth about coconut oil. Back in the 1960s when I was born, coconut oil was believed to be the “Devil inca ate” (in liquid form) with more saturated fat than lard or butter, rendering it a “cholesterol-raising” … “heart-attack-causing” … “artery-clogging” nightmare. But is this truth or fiction?

While a Reiki 1 course can be a life changing experience, it is understandable that participants can have lingering doubts about its effectiveness following a Reiki class. It is only through the experience of doing regular self Reiki treatments after a Reiki training that doubts subside. At my Reiki courses in Dublin I get a broad spectrum of personalities represented. People come from all backgrounds and walks of life. However, the one thing most adults have in common is a d

EFT is great for improving self-confidence. You really want a mind that is controlled by you, not those negative and self-critical thoughts that creep in. Well, in EFT, short for Emotional Freedom Techniques, those negative thoughts are said to be kept active by energy. This is like a way-too-bright light that keeps you awake all night, being kept on by an electric current. Of course, we can turn off that harsh or too bright a light and get some nice sleep, right? All we have to do is turn off the switch. Failing that, we can take out the plug at the mains.

Anxiety is debilitating. It can be mild, more of a nervousness, or it can make life very difficult indeed. So what are its triggers and what can you do about them?

The world is not really a stranger to the healing powers of crystals. The eastern world for centuries has acknowledged the healing power of crystals.

There are many New Age groups that have begun to form negative vibrations around New Age concepts- much ego is involved behind the scenes and many are manipulating the thoughtforms to bring the vibration of the positives down. Please remember to feel the vibration beyond the words. If you feel pure Love and it resonates, enjoy it. If not, you are advised to follow your vibration. It is not about the images, the symbols, the words, the mind chatter...it is about love energy.

Watching Come Dine With me, I cannot help but wonder if it influences our choices of food or entertainment. And I include all similar programs on television. From a complementary health point of view, influences of TV programs on our choice of food and entertaining can go two ways; there is the healthy way, and there is the unhealthy way.

I have been noticing a game played by my grandchild and friends, influenced by TV kiddie shows. I call it the "stuck" game. Whenever something needs doing, instead of attempting to do it, the cartoon characters get "stuck", and they say "stuck". It becomes a game for the toddlers. I think it is OK for toddlers and there is nothing wrong with it. But, I see another game being played by adults, who ought to know better. They have this game called "illness' or "disease".

EFT, short for Emotional Freedom Techniques, is a powerful combination of acupressure and releasing wording, designed to give you fast results with any goal that you want to achieve. Probably the biggest question people ask with EFT is what to say when they tap. No matter what kind of EFT you have learned, this still is the heavy EFT challenge for many. And it is the same when it comes to weight. Weight loss has an extra complication. You see, we need to eat at least about three times a day. And every day can present new challenges.

Most of us set goals in our lives. Even people who say they do not set any goals are doing so anyway. For example, we plan to wake up, to go to sleep, to eat, to drink, call a friend, and so on.

And I know you are reading this because you probably have some good achievement that you wish to aim for, so here are a few tips from my personal and client experience to help you in achieving your goals.

Or perhaps EFT is totally new to you and you are reading this article looking for a new way to open the door to a confident new you. Read on, and all will be revealed.

The energy issue directs the world. Industry is dependent on energy. People are too. We need energy to grow and progress, and therefore we have to keep taking it from our environment. Since absolutely everything that exists is just some form of energy, we can say that energy is all we have. This is why we must be responsible for our own energy; we must look after it and constantly replenish it with new and fresh quantities.

The Animal Kingdomr This morning at the end of my meditatio I was asked to share the following: 2 of my favorite books are: Animal Speak and Animal Wise by Ted Andrews. Over the last few years I have enjoyed so many meetings with the birds and land animals. We forget to stop to listen to them and share our blessings for them being with us. We have so much to learn by watching the animals of our planet. From watching their eating habits: to watching them communication with each other and the world.

Many people are turning to more natural and holistic ways of dealing with illness and pain.

It has gained quite a bit of popularity over the past few decades. It is being offered in most hospitals and hospices nowadays.

As you may or may not know already, EFT is a way to break through any blocks in your path to health success and happiness. These blocks are made of energy, or better understood as imprints in your mind-body.

You may well wonder why. Let me explain.

EFT is a very powerful technique. It takes people from a place of Small or Medium self-love to a Large self-love, or as it is usually measured, from a 2-6 on a scale of 0-10 to a 9 or a 10.

Becoming successful in any field or endeavor does not happen by luck. Hard work and determination might be where some people would begin. However, there are several inner key factors that set apart those who demonstrate success. Statistics show that 4 out of 5 businesses fail within the first two years of operation. When you look at someone who is successful, his or her secrets are not always on the surface. A lot of their success factors cannot be seen because their winning combination starts within.

What is it that makes distributors of shoes only buy 1 pair of UK size 9 shoes for women, if any at all? There is a demand, but the suppliers will not supply. And as I have embraced a healthy way of life, I no longer am prepared to wear shoes that are too short or too wide (most size UK 9 women's shoes are wide). I have narrow long feet. And a female body. More importantly, I have a female brain. I identify as female.

In the past, I never thought much about Reiki for brain trauma. Most of the traumas that I have used Reiki on were for car or bike accidents or bad falls, but they never involved the head. When my Reiki student Nancy contacted me to help her on January 5th she said that her fall occurred on November 17th causing trauma to her brain. She was frustrated with how slow her healing process was. When we talked she said that her complaints were double vision, balance issues/dizziness, mind fog, pain levels that needed narcotics, she was not getting good sleep, and her quality of life was not there.

I have not always handled my money wisely. Like some of you, I made some investments that bottomed out. Divorces diminish a person's net worth. And yes, I could have also set more aside, but chose to spend it instead. So I work a full time day job plus work at developing my own business evenings ...

I have worked with clients from their 20s to 40s with many fertility challenges. Reiki works for a lot of these women. Recently I had a new client who had a different challenge to getting pregnant. She is in her mid-30s and very healthy. Her labs showed that everything should be working for her to get pregnant. After years of trying and working with specialists, her doctor recommended that she do in vitro fertilization (IVF).

Today the sky is overcast, the trees have golden yellow leaves, the black bark of the trunk and branches can be seen through the light colored leaves, and what was once a giant green presence will shortly be a skeleton silhouetted against the sky. We see the same thing in different ways on ...

Are you confused about the different types of Reiki Training in Ireland? Every where you go,Reiki training is advertised. There has been confusion about how Reiki training in Ireland is structured, the format and content that should be included in Reiki classes, and the general standard of Reiki teaching being marketed. Reiki teaching in Ireland does not undergo statutory regulation. This explains the lack of uniformity in all level s of Reiki courses available. In 2002, I co

A friend has just shared something on Facebook. It is an article by a "christian" (small "c" intended). This person goes on and on about the dangers of coloring books using mandalas. He connects the devil (small "d" intended too) with mandalas in a weird way reminiscent of a best-selling author's convincing enthralling fictional tale.

When I used to work in the Renaissance Fair, Tarot readers were classified as entertainers, along with the musicians, actors, jugglers, dancers and clowns. That did not offend me. I love to meet people and read for them in any circumstance, and if it is a festive one, that is fine with me. Over ...

If you are a person who likes to read for pleasure and enlightenment, there is always something new vying for your attention. Of course, although new books are enticing, the old classics are often worth another look. There are layers of meanings that are revealed to a mature person that escape ...

Perhaps, by now, you've heard the saying, "Love heals all wounds." After having spent over nearly 15 years doing hands-on healing work, I would say that is very true. When doing hands-on healing, the healing practitioner becomes a channel for life force energy. It is this life force energy that animates us and gives us life. Without it, we can become ill.

The suit of cups (also chalices, cauldrons, grails, hearts) is the suit of emotions. This includes love, friendship, trust, happiness, faith, and intuition, our gut instinct. How many times do we make decisions based on gut instinct? How many times do we choose our friends, lovers and business ...

One of the enduring mysteries of life is death. Why is it that we care about what happens after we die? Is it that the thought of just a short span on Earth is not enough for us? That we hunger for life so much that we want it to continue even if we have to imagine some other form for it to ...

Jennifer’s story: The day the fertility doctor tried to call me with the genetic testing results from my embryos, my cell phone battery was dead. Upon plugging in my phone, she called back saying, “You have two genetically normal embryos, Jennifer! That’s unbelievable. I told you there was a 1% chance of pregnancy, and now (with this information), you have a 72% chance of having a baby!”

I was quite delighted to hear Dr. Oz tell his millions of viewers on his show that he, not only, promotes Reiki, but he also believes Reiki to be ,“Ultimately, the most important alte ative medical treatment of all.”1 I knew this way before Dr. Oz espoused the healing powers of Reiki. As a practicing Reiki Master with over 20 years experience working in the field of holistic health, I thought it was great that Reiki was getting the recognition that it deserves.

She also said that we should see her eye sight improve quickly. Well a year and half later and her sight was not improving and the doctor was conce ed.
