#Reclaiming Power

This is an excerpt from our next book coming out soon:

Reclaiming Power

I have been called many names

I let them bite into my soul

But they are but words

And as mere words,

they have only as much power

as I grant them

Today I reclaim that power

I say each word

And then I smile

And I tell that word

You are no longer my enemy

You do not define me

You do not have power over me

I set you free to return

to those who sent you

It is their hateful souls

that own you and need you

I do not need you

I am fine without out you

I am better than fine

I am Brilliant

Wonderful

Awesome

Superb

All of these and more

Those words I claim

And give power to

For those words nourish my soul

Unlike those hurtful names, those ugly words I have set free

Even when I am broken in spirit

or not on top of my game

Even when I make mistakes

that I later feel shame or embarrassment by

I am not those hateful names

Those words sent to destroy me

To label me

To minimize me

To ridicule me

To demean me

To shame me

BAH and away with all those words

My mistakes are my lessons

Though I wish I had not made them,

I have learned by them

I am a better me

I am stronger

And I have grown

And through that growth

I have outgrown the ugly, hurtful names

that others have thrust upon me.

Today, I push them back to their owners

They have need for them

whereas I do not

My soul feels unbound

free of those hateful words.

It is a wonderful day and I feel awesome

I AM awesome.

Look Within

Buddha wasn't a Buddhist, Jesus wasn't a Christian. The great ones didn't create a religion, they just said to LOOK WITHIN. They recognized the truth that is always here, always present, but so easily forgotten. We are not able to see this because of a mind that is veiled by ignorance, hatred and greed. They also never called themselves great ones, that is what others have done. Look within.

Feel Emotions - They Are Natural

I have been watching a series on Netflix that has had me on an emotional roller coaster. I guess you could say that it is sappy to be caught up in a tear jerker. However, emotions are very natural and to deny them creates energy blockages. Sadly, it is easy to be "tough" and "suck it up" and "be strong" and all those catch phrases but the truth is, if we are sad and need to cry, or we are angry and need to yell, then we should do so. I'm not saying grovel and get locked into feeling sorry for yourself or go into a full out rage and smash things or be cruel to people with your anger, but do allow yourself to experience the emotion you are feeling even if you have to find a place alone to do so.  Emotions are types of energy and they need released. If we deny our emotions, we create energy blockages which in turn manifest into physical ailments over time. So, allow yourself to feel ALL emotions, not just joy and happiness, embrace sadness and anger also.

Stay energetically healthy - cry when you need to, laugh, yell, scream, be angry, be happy, recognize worries, examine them, rationalize them and then set them free. Experience your emotions but don't stay emotional.

Shedding a tear and moving on, after all it is just a movie, but it moved me to tears, so I cried and I am not ashamed. And I feel better now. I am human and that is good.

Bright Blessings,

Energy Healing

I healed in the spiritualist church for along time and  i found out it was the same healing as reiki, but the difference being, we didn't use symbols and didn't need any attunements to become a master as that is just a title, do we really need titles to validate ourselves.

I enjoyed my time at the church but it wasn't for me, so i left and went my own way. So i decided to learn Reiki myself and become a reiki master/teacher, still people hung up on titles, not sure why titles seem so important to people, as said above the only real difference is the use of symbols, these symbols are nothing more than a way to give you focus, they hold no power themselves unless you believe them to have power, so it is not necessary to use them in order to heal someone.  You will find the healing will be done without them.

We would take a few moments to ourselves, around 5-10 minutes to sit quiet and calm our minds and ask for the healing energy to be allowed to come through us and to heal those that wanted to accept it, if you wanted we would ask our guides to help us with the flow of energy, say a prayer as you heal to help you focus the energy, it is for all religions and anyone to use and to adapt.  For some visualizing the energy coming from their body and down out their hands also helps, there is no right are wrong way to do this, the energy will find its way, it is what feels right for you

When healing i did not think about it, i would feel it and let it come naturally from me to the person receiving the healing, the energy will flow itself you do not need to think and try to push it onto any given spot.  Just calm your mind and give with love, compassion and feeling.

In this you are calling upon the energy what is within, around and in the universe to assist you. It is about caring, compassion, love and feeling, healing from your heart and meaning it. Passing on the energy to others to help relax and heal them.

Reiki isn't better than other healing styles, they are all the same really, some might disagree but if you think about it, they all use energy to heal (same energy as well), so they are all the same, just done in a different way, so what is the right/best way to do energy healing, the best way is what feels right to you.

The intent to heal.

Problems, worry?

It is good to listen to friends when they have problems, but sometimes it can drain you.  Also when you tell them something they just refuse to hear the truth and keep doing the same old thing and falling into the same trap.  So what should you do, nothing is the answer, they need to learn for themselves.  You can be there to hold someones hand all the way as they can not learn from that, advise is good but sometimes they just don't want to hear/see it.

Sometimes you just have to say, ok enough, not talking about this anymore. Walk away its not a bad thing to do, you also have to look after yourself, you can't allow someone to drag you down and the only way someone can, is if you allow them to. Like stress, the only way you will feel stress is if you allow yourself to feel stress, it is that simple, you have the control over yourself, no one else does, the situation doesn't affect you, you affect yourself.

It can take a bit of time to realize this, you control yourself and what you allow yourself to feel you will feel.  Sometimes its not so easy i admit, if my son/daughter hurts themselves i worry,  who wouldn't.  That is not the type of worry i am talking about.

I would like to say more on this and i will another time, but for now have a great day all.

You are in control of yourself.

How do you cleanse yourself of negative energy?

As with a lot of things, there are many ways to do the same things. How I cleanse negative energy depends on the circumstances. For many years, when I found myself in extremely stressful and upsetting circumstances at work, I would excuse myself and go the to restroom. Once there, I would physically wash my hands under cold water and visualize all the terrible yucky stuff going down the drain. Then I would dry my hands and sometimes blot my face with the damp hand towels. It was always an amazing refreshing technique that helped me push through the rest of the day.

I also love to do the shower cleansing where while literally in the shower, I visualize the water rinsing every bit of negative icky uggy yucky energy clinging to be being sprayed off and washed down the drain. And

Time to Myself

I was asked what is something i really enjoy spending my time doing, but not to include my children, something i do.  I thought about it, not much haha, i really enjoy meditating.  Meditation is something you can do anytime, anyplace, anywhere, you don't have to be in some strange position.  You could be at work, sorting a math equation out and still meditate.

Some people think you can only meditate if you are in a deep breathing, sitting position, not true at all. Anyone can mediate at any time they wish and if you are new to meditating this is a good thing, for someone new to jump into an hour of sitting and trying to let your mind go isn't really the best thing to do.  Just start small and build up, your not going to be a Zen Master over night :)

Morning out

Sitting in a room this morning with five other people filling out paper work before doing a small literacy test and the amount of paper work involved was silly to say the least, having to repeat what you said in each one and sign this and that over and over, couldn't help thinking this is a pure waste of paper and to top it all off, once you are done you sign for them to destroy what you have just spent a few hours filling out. I asked them, surly there must be another way to do this, all I got back was don’t shoot the messenger we do it cause we have to, so you do as well.

What a waste of time, energy and paper work,  still don’t understand why you need to fill it all out if its getting destroyed once its over, just doesn't make sense to me.  Maybe I am wrong.

While sitting I was able to just let my mind wonder and relax.  Calmed my mind and had a good day. Doesn't matter what you do, you can always relax and calm yourself, you are in control of yourself. I am happy that i'm the type of person that doesn't let very much bother them, after all life is short, so why worry about something.

Energy Healing

I have done energy healing now for many years now, i find it relaxing, calming for both myself and the person receiving it.  Some come to rid stress and worries, others just to relax and have that me time to switch off for a little while.  It is a good thing to have a little me time, everyone should try and do that if they can.  I know people have very busy lives, but its only busy if you allow it to be, you control what happens so you can give yourself time if you want.

When doing the energy healing it is only right to ask the person if they are comfortable with you placing your hands on them, as you don't need to so its good to tell them about what is going on and what options you have available. Some don't like the relaxing music, that is one thing i have been asked about, when meditating do you have to listen to meditation music?  no you don't, you don't have to listen to anything, infact you can meditate to anything you want and at anytime.  Its about what is right for you.

Energy Healing Vigil to Help a Tree

Greetings All!

I have a beautiful Pecan tree in my yard that is estimated to be about 150+ years old.  It was one of the attractions of buying my house a year ago.  We saw at the time of purchase that she had some damage to her trunk but we had no idea the extent of her pain and illness.  Not long after we bought the house, high winds came and a HUGE branch dropped off the tree and landed partially on the roof.  I'm happy to say that the damage was minimal to the roof. However, this lead to the discovery of the extent of the injury our beloved tree is suffering from.  She has bark separation which we now know means that it diminishes her abilities to sustain herself since it is through the membranes under the bark that carry nutrients to the upper portion of the tree.  Long story short, our beloved mighty Pecan tree has been diagnosed as dying and dangerous and has been recommended to be cut down.  This has caused me tremendous grief and I have cried and cried for this tree. So, now I put out a plea to all the healers, please help by sending loving energy to this tree either so that it may be healed and manage to sustain itself or so that it's spirit can release and know that it was loved and cared for and that its passing was noticed.

Bright Blessings

Reiki and Energy Healing

Reiki and Energy Healing

Reiki is a Japanese form of complementary or alternative medicine developed (or rediscovered) during the latter half of the 19th century.

Reiki (霊気, /ˈreɪkiː/) is a spiritual practice developed in 1922 by Japanese Buddhist Mikao Usui, which has since been adapted by various teachers of varying traditions. It uses a technique commonly called palm healing or hands on healing as a form of alternative medicine and is sometimes classified as oriental medicine by some professional medical bodies. 

Through the use of this technique, practitioners believe that they are transferring universal energy (i.e., reiki) in the form of qi (Japanese: ki) through the palms, which they believe allows for self-healing and a state of equilibrium.

First Communication

Stepping on from Sensing Your Spirit Guide

-- Yes/No Palm Exercise

Ok! So you sense your Spirit Guide now and you are ready to communicate! How do you do this? Here is a simple yes/no technique using your body. Although a pendulum could be used for this same purpose, I choose to use the palm exercise because it lets you interact more directly with your Guide and feel their energy.

Hold your hands in front of you palms up. Designate one hand as "yes" and the other as "no" -- doesn't matter which hand is which as long as you use the same designation each time. I personally designate my right hand

Sensing Your Spirit Guide

This exercise will enable you to sense the energy of your Spirit Guide. Seat yourself comfortably in a chair, bench or on your bed. Ask your Guide to come sit beside you. At this point you may or may not feel anything but do pay attention to whether you feel any change in sensation around you. Ask your Guide to move in really close to you so that you can sense them better. What do you notice? A tingle in your stomach? Does the hair on your head or body feel tingly. Your hands prickle? Do you feel vibration in your body? Or do you hear a buzzing in your ears? Or does sound suddenly cut off in one ear? To test this sensation, ask your Guide to move away. The sensation should lessen or stop. Now ask your Guide to move in close to you again and the sensations should return. There is no right or wrong way to sense your Guide, there is only YOUR way. One person may flush warm, another may shiver with a chill. Some get tingly fingers or hands, while for others it may be the feet or legs. Some get butterflies in their stomach. Others feel a waft of air on the back of their neck. The possibilities are endless. Your job is to determine what your *signal* is that your Guide is present. Repeat this exercise often so that you readily recognize your Guide's presence.
