Who are you waiting for?

Reiki blog image   When I was younger, in times of crisis, I would long for an answer, or look for someone who would give me the answers I was looking for.  I ended up becoming an English Literature major in my undergraduate years searching the novels and poems of others struggling to find meaning in life.  I looked to teachers, friends and in my relationships to delve into the deeper aspects of their minds:  do you kno

My Dear Sister

Reiki blog image     My sister is gone. Candice was my best friend. Starting out my little sister, we shared life's treasures and interests throughout our lives together. I rediscovered a gift she had left me on a previous birthday. It speaks to me, and I hope it speaks to you as well: "Happy Birthday. Certainly a year to celebrate all kinds of growth! I hope you find some moments of relaxation and peace today. You try so hard to live well...

Courage

Reiki blog image https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p9hKbkdJT04 You have lived through so much. It took courage to stay, to live each moment - one to the next. Sometimes you questioned if you would make it. Suffering extends time. Maybe it seemed like forever. Heavy. Hopeless at times. Crushed. And then, no more. Not one more minute. No. The courage to say No.

"The Breath" as Teacher

Reiki blog image I allow, naturally, the breath in.  I take in life.  I allow it to flow through my whole body.  It happens without thinking.  I don't have to do anything but allow it in. Then I notice a natural pause.  A moment to immerse in the stillness.  The space where all truths reveal.

Use of Reiki to release the energy of trauma and abuse

Reiki blog image Well, you see that I have taken you down the rabbit hole to Reiki.  What, you might ask, is the relationship between Reiki and the trauma of an abusive relationship. If you could actually "see" the negative energy that comes at you when someone is yelling at you, demeaning you or verbally attacking you, you

Response to Previous Post: FREEDOM

Reiki blog image "Being FREE of the shackles that held me prisoner for over a decade is a feeling that I cannot put into words. To know I do not have to look over my shoulder or watch what I say brings me nothing but overwhelming joy. My house is now a home!!  I can be me all the time now!  It took me what feels like forever to get the courage to move forward and believe in myself. I did it at...

I feel free!

Reiki blog image   Here is the latest on one of my clients.  She was in a decade long abusive relationship.  She has worked through so much, and this is her today: "I feel free. He is gone and the divorce will be final next week! Today would have been our 10th anniversary and I don't miss him at all. I never thought I would see this day. I see the world as it is now. No more denial and hiding from the...

Carla: Chapter Seven

Reiki blog image "During the Reiki Fusion session, I was curled up in a ball. I realize that is symbolic for how I lived my whole life. I turned away from life and challenges and withdrew. I was passive and closed off. I was scared all the time, and I didn't even know what I was scared of. I never tried anything new. I was a machine, a steam engine: I just kept going without feeling. I was a shell, just making it...

Clearing the Path; Chapter Six

Reiki blog image Here is Carla, brave Carla as she finally sees the figure of her mother appear:   Suddenly I could see an image of my mother. It was a picture of her that I remember. Whenever I tried to imagine her face, I could never grasp her image. It would always flicker. This time I was able to see the image clearly. She was sitting on the floor, leaning back on our old couch. She was wearing a dark gray Mickie Mouse...

Clearing the Path; Chapter Five

Reiki blog image Here is Carla, brave Carla: “I just finished my latest Reiki Fusion experience with Cynthia. As usual, I figured nothing would happen and I would just be laying there, feeling silly. Almost as soon as I arrived, we went to the table. I was finally ready to face myself, the experience and possibly the faceless figure that I saw the last time. As soon as I laid down, I felt myself settling into the table. This was a good sign,...

Carla continues to grow: Chapter Four

Reiki blog image "I am much calmer now. My Doctor told me I have Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and I realize I have had this most of my life. Since we did the Reiki Fusion session I feel calm in a new and different way. I have an almost universal faith that everything will go as it needs to go. My stress has dropped out of sight. I am amazed. I can just BE now in a way I couldn't before. It feels...

Dadirri

Reiki blog image Here is an Australian Aboriginal approach to healing trauma that I find beautiful and so consistent with the Reiki Fusion approach that I have developed: Miriam-Rose Ungunmerr-Baumann "Aboriginal people passed on stories orally as they knew no writing. Listening to the story-teller was vital to reproduce the story accurately to the next generation of story-tellers. Deep listening describes the proce
