View image | gettyimages.com

The Vegetarian/Vegan card screams EAT BETTER! This card brings to our awareness the need to eat healthy green vegetables, fruits, nuts, etc. Good health starts with the foods you put into your mouth. When you ingest healthy whole foods, you are eating foods not only good for the body, but also goos for the mind and the spirit. These foods are Reiki, these foods are vital life force energy, they are alive at the time you eat them.

Be mindful of what you are eating, and how you feel when you eat. And remember, to pray and or Reiki your food!

Have a healthy week!

Willingness to Feel - Opening to Understanding

From the Daily Om, April 23, 2012

When we are resisting something based on a limited understanding, we must then open ourselves to willingness.

There are times when we may find ourselves struggling or even fighting with our thoughts and emotions. We may feel that something must be done in a certain way or not at all, or there may be some other situation that feels absolutely black and white. But life is not this way—it’s the way we are looking at our experiences that is causing the turmoil within us. When we become aware that the struggle we are having is with ourselves, we can turn our attention to the source in order to solve the problem, but we must be being willing to look where we need to and feel emotions that may make us uncomfortable at first. Then we can choose to really open ourselves to understanding all the options we can imagine. We are likely to discover that we are resisting something based on a limited understanding, and we must then open ourselves to willingness.


When we are willing to look at all the possibilities, we also become willing to accept that there is room for more than we can imagine. We can release ourselves from the grip we had on our emotions and stop limiting ourselves. We may have been unwilling to experience feeling loss, confusion, fear, or even joy for some reason or another, but when we realize that our understanding was limited we allow space for the universe to move in our lives.
Opening ourselves to willingness may feel like we are surrendering or abandoning all that we believed. But at the same time it is an act of power and courage because it is a conscious choice we make about how to apply our personal will. Being willing is to be in a state of willing something into creation. It is at once allowing ourselves to be while also choosing to direct our energy in a focused way. It is being and doing from a place of openness, where we can work with the universe rather than resist it. It is an open hand rather than one that is clenched into a fist. When we make a step toward willingness, we open ourselves to truth, possibility, and the movement of the wise universe in and through our lives.

Angel Card of The Week: Dawn/New Beginnings

This week's card is from Dr. Steven Farmer's Earth Magic Oracle Deck, the Dawn/New Beginnings card symbolizes the coming new coming dawn after the darkness. This is a week to see any previously challenging situation with a sense of renewal. There is limitless opportunity to start over in an energetic sense; this ideal can be particularly beneficial if you feel trapped in a home location, a challenging job, legal contract, etc and may be bound to these things because of circumstances beyond your current control. You are always in control of your own perspective.

This week focus on shifting your perspective, shifting your circumstances if possible, and placing your energy on the new positive opportunities ahead of you.

Have a Great Week!

Angel Card of The Week: Mediumship

This is such an intriguing card, Mediumship, you may jokingly think of, 'I see dead people' when you hear it, or it may bring up emotions of sorrow, loss, fear, etc. The Mediumship card can take on many meanings, such as you communicating with a departed loved one, you being a Medium or conduit of sorts, or any other Spiritual Communicator. Upon first viewing this card, it conveys a beautiful message of the communication with loved ones who may no longer be physically present, they are certainly still existing on another plane. 

The Mediumship card asks us to see, sense, smell, hear, or feel into those moments where a departed loved one, seems to be near. Trust in these feelings and know that they are still coming around to check on you. Trust that you can call on them and give them messages, they will receive them. Also be mindful of your dreams, they may have some insightful messages to you. 

Have a wonderful week. 

Angel Card of The Week: If You Get Nervous Focus on Service

This week's card, "If You Get Nervous Focus on Service," is not about you, it is about us. This card asks us to be of service in a public way, this can be as a healer, teacher, mentor, public speaker, etc. Many people get nervous and think about the I; that you may stumble with your words, or that the client being healed is not receiving the healing, or that the inforamtion you are sharing is not being received. Bring your mind from away from that line of thinking and focus on the reason for the action at hand.

If You Get Nervous Focus on Service, this is such a truly helpful statement, when I first started as a Reiki practitioner I thought I had to feel something and my mind would wonder if the client was feeling something happen. I know better now, with Reiki and other energetic healing forms, even public speaking, you may tend to wonder if your intention was received, but that you must trust that what is meant to transpire is happening in it's own way, or will happen at it's own time. I have had some amazing physical sensations while giving a Reiki treatment, where the client didn't seem to feel anything at the time. I have been on the other end of this as well, where I felt nothing when I was giving, but the client had a great experience. Reiki, like other intelligent energies (or intentions) will get to where they need to go, when they decide the time is right.

Remove expectation and see your being of service as beneficial no matter what. If You Get Nervous Focus on the Service at hand.

Have a Great Week!

Moon Turn The Tides, Gently, Gently Away

Reiki inspires so much creatively, whether it's music, poetry, visual arts, dance, etc.
I'm in such a musical mood tonight I thought I'd share something that always touches me...perhaps it's the beautiful Venus ruled Libra Full Moon that is floating across the sky, or perhaps it's me getting myself out of a funky week, and music seems to help quite a bit.

Music is very healing! I urge you to find your Theme Song!

I particularly love this one; this is one of Jimi Hendrix's lesser known songs to the mundane; Moon Turn The Tides, Gently, Gently Away. This is one of the prettiest, calmest, and suddenly intense songs! Jimi was always a bit on the gentle-manic side, and I too fall somewhere in-between.

Most of the song is his beautiful beach-tinged rhythms on the guitar,
he has one line that sticks with me, "I can hear Atlantis full of cheer."
In my mind he's playing his guitar on a beach on Neptune,
his intention is an Evocation of Beauty, to cause a stir in one's soul...
the skies are electric blue & pink, and he has lured
the cosmic ships out if the water.

Groovy :)

Peace & Enjoy

Angel Card of The Week: Integrity...Part 2

This week's card is a repeat from 2/12/12. Usually if I pull a 'repeat card' from any of my oracle cards, I will put it back and reshuffle, well I did that, and did that, and did it again, yet the 'Integrity' card continued to come up more than four times! I felt to hold my own integrity, I had to repost this card for myself as well as those who needed to read it. So, here we are again.

This week we must be reminded to act in a manner that expresses our inner truth. To quote myself from 2/12/12, 'We may engage in activities that feel good, and are good for us but fear judgement or ridicule from others.' To read my original post in it's entirety click here.

Listen to yourself, to the deepest parts of you and hold your integrity.

Have a great week!
