My Healing Art

My Healing Art, Ki Healing

Although many of you know that I am a certified massage therapist, many of you might not be very clear on what my work is about. This is probably because it has been evolving quite a bit especially over the past two years! It’s true that I am a massage therapist. I consider massage to be the foundation of my work and it’s important to note that it’s spiritually based. That means that I cater to the well being and nurturing of your spirit self. Call me a spiritual counselor if it makes it easier to understand. For me to be able to counsel, nurture, and cater to your spirit, I offer different ways to do this. One way is through massage therapy, another is through Reiki. Reiki is Japanese for Universal Life Force. This body treatment is subtle, nurturing, illuminating, balancing and of course, healing.

Another aspect of my work is through Spiritual Direction, a companioning of your spirit’s journey. It’s so important to have someone help us navigate our unique faith journey as we grow deeper into ourselves and draw nearer to God (feel free to replace ‘God’ with other terminology you are more comfortable with, i.e. Source, Universe, Higher Power). With this offering, I help you to notice and respond to the movements of God as experienced in the events of your life and in your prayer. As a spiritual director or I am a listening and supportive companion who creates a sacred space for you to look honestly at your relationship with the Sacred (God) as it is lived out in every day life.

For those who seek guidance from their guardian angels and/or their spirit guides, I provide two similar services: Angel Card Readings and Channeled Readings/Guidance. With this offering, I help you in different areas of your life to gain clarity and focus, with discernment and confirmation, to see “big picture” perspective, and finally to move out of feeling “stuck”. Specifically with this offering, I work with your Angels and Spirit Guides.

Most of these services are ways to help you manage your energy, but I also provide Energy Management consultations to address what may be happening in your life at particular times. I provide you with supportive listening and coaching to help you get grounded and balanced anew. I also offer special mineral (gemstones and crystal) therapy products to assist you with the management of your energy. I am affiliated with VibesUp. CLICK FOR MORE ABOUT VIBESUP

Keep Your Vibes Up; Feel Good Be Well

Vibes Up is based on the belief and fact that nature has innate healing energies. These healing energies can be used to help us attract particular energy frequencies that we specifically need and want, such as Love, Passion, Peace and much more. Vibes Up uses crystals, gemstones (mineral life), and essential plant oils to help us raise a particular energetic frequency. They have a patent pending on their Liquid Crystal coating that works to amplify the specific energy even more.

Crystal Quartz (a major ingredient in the liquid crystal) is able to oscillate very precise transmissions of information, i.e. crystal quartz clocks, liquid crystal displays or LCD TVs (a.k.a. crystal technology). It also can amplify/expand energy --- expanding and amplifying precise bits of information that carry particular frequencies, such loudspeakers or cellular phones (crystal technology).

Basically, Vibes Up products work very much like tiny loudspeakers or tiny LCD TV's that transmit or vibrate out to the universe the specific energetic frequency you need and want. The transmission goes out and receives a “like” frequency, and brings it back to you. This is how Vibes Up:
A) keeps your vibes up and B) keeps you connecting to the specific energy you seek in your life.

I love these products because they have brought me and my family many good feelings as well as many positive changes in our lives. Whenever I am feeling down and out I make sure that I have at least one of the products on me or touching me. Literally, it’s a matter of minutes before I experience a shift in my energy.

One of the first bracelets I bought was a Love bracelet. I felt like my heart was closed off and had intuited that I needed to work on opening it more. At the time, I wasn’t totally sure how I could or what I would do to open it. Like kismet, I met Kaitlyn Keyt, the founder of Vibes Up. I was literally drawn to her natural creations. When I entered her space (filled up with crystals and gemstones) I felt a fantastic energetic buzz. I felt really good there. I knew that I had stumbled upon something really special that completely resonates with me.

Since that fateful day, just one year ago, I have worn my Love bracelet and my heart has drastically opened. It has opened much more than I ever expected in ways that I couldn’t have thought of myself. And just like, "Suddenly Seymour", I even met a special someone that is now my special honey. Because the products resonate with me and truly do work,I sell them, too!

Reiki Simplified For The Curious

I love Reiki because basically, it is a very simple, experiential, enjoyable healing technique and in the same breath it is so very profound. Reiki is the name given to this system of natural healing for the body and mind, developed by Dr. Mikao Usui who lived in Japan during the the 19th century. The ‘Rei’ means ‘universal’ and the ‘ki’ means ‘life force energy’. Reiki is also referred to as a path to personal growth.

While many people cannot yet physically see ‘Ki’, physics explains that energy exists in everything and that it’s everywhere. It is in the air we breathe, in the food we eat, in the light from the sun and the moon. Inanimate objects have energy too, just lower frequencies of energy, though.

This Life Force Energy is the creative force behind all of life. It is that which nourishes and sustains natural life cycles such as cycles of birth, life and death of all living things. When we are connected with this energy through Reiki or through Prayer or Meditation we will feel less separate from other living beings and things. Rather than separate or isolated, we feel more whole within ourselves and within all of creation. We feel a greater sense of unity to all that surrounds us. We also start to feel supported, safe, and confident to be all that we are.
This Life Force is within us. It is a subtle energy that exists within our bodies and minds. It also exists in plants, flowers, trees, rocks, minerals, and crystals – in nature.

For me, taking walks in nature has a very healing effect. Part of me doesn’t know how it actually happens, but I don’t need to know because I experience a shift in my subtle inner energies. If I feel pre-occupied or anxious there is hardly anything else more effective to calm me than a walk among “my” trees. After I emerge out of their natural care, I am new again. Magically, anxiety is far removed from me. This healing effect happens each time. It always works. Amazingly, the natural energy from the trees, rocks, sun etc. has a corresponding effect on my body, my mind, and my spirit.

This Life Force Energy runs through our bodies through subtle energy pathways called meridians. When these pathways are blocked or out of balance because of stress, let’s say, illness can result. Like other alternative/complimentary therapies, Reiki helps the body, mind, and spirit to rebalance itself and to unblock the energy pathways .This promotes health and well being in us.

Reiki does not have any dogma or belief systems attached to it. It is practiced in almost every country in the world. Thankfully, its healing intelligence transcends religious, cultural, and political boundaries. It can fit practically into any lifestyle physically, mentally, and spiritually. It is truly universal.

Angels 101

About Angels! – Concise and Practical Knowledge, Part 1

You’ve heard of Angels but do you know who they are? First and foremost, they are messengers of and for God [feel free to replace ‘God’ with other terminology you are more comfortable with, i.e. Source, Universe, Higher Power etc.]. Angels are God’s volunteers and often work very closely with us humans. However, angels are not human. They can be described as spiritual presences…little bit like holy ghosts or beings of light. These are loose descriptions because ultimately the experiencing an angel is an individual and unique event. Angels can and do incarnate into human form from time to time. Yet, at other times they employ fellow humans to act as angels on their behalf. Folks that work with angels (whether consciously or not) are often referred to as Earth Angels. Generally, Earth Angels are on earth to serve – serve the earth, serve humanity, serve God’s will. Think for a second about whom you know in your life who has been your lifesaver, comforter and bringer of peaceful feelings. Who is always ready and willing to help the cause whatever it be? These fellow friends of yours may very well be Earth Angels.

Can you recall a time when someone you didn’t even know came to help you in whatever kind of way, big or small, right at the very nick of time? Did you ever think that he or she was possibly an Angel incarnated? If so, you just may have been right on.

Angels are non-denominational. They are universal. They don’t just belong to certain religions or belong to biblical or Christian beliefs. While Angels do have roots stemming from Christianity to Hinduism, one of the most important points I must make is that Angels exist for every human being and always have -- agnostics, atheists, and believers alike. As God’s volunteers they serve to bridge the realm of humanity with that of the Divine. How we experience this connection or bridge may be different , for you, for me, or for your neighbor but be assured that angels have something to do with all that is divine.

How can we reach the Angels? I love answering this question about angels because they are just so easy to reach. Literally, all we need to do is ask them. What do you need? Just ask them. Call on them. They are always right by your side ready to assist you. In fact, your Guardian Angels never leave your side. Consider them your personal escorts, with you everywhere you are. A little puzzled you might wonder, “Hmmm, how do I know they’ve heard me.” Well, like anything else you try for the first time, you must be open to try, trust it’ll work out, and then let it be. Be expectant; be ready to see how they work for you. Angels are not complicated creatures. They answer our calls in very simple ways. For example, if you ask them for help to find something, you’ll find it. If you don’t find it, it’s not because they didn’t hear you, it’s simply because they’re working on strings to give you a bigger blessing. When you receive that bigger blessing acknowledge it and you will know the angels worked for you.

What specifically can Angels do for us? Ohhhh, let me count the ways. Another reason that I love Angels is because they are practical healers! The things they can do for us address the goings on in our everyday ordinary (or extraordinary!) lives. These are just some of the things that angels can do for us: Help us to find our life’s purpose, be better at stress management, feel financial peace, cutting addictions, increase energy, help with sleep issues, with job responsibilities, healing your pets and the list goes on! You may be asking yourselves, “…but how do I come to the angels with these matters? They’re probably too busy for me anyway.” Remember what I mentioned above. All you need do is ask them for help. They are just waiting for you to call on them because that is their job, to help you. You can make up a simple prayer around your matter, write it down and read it as many times a day as you’d like or you can just start talking to them, ad-lib.

Go ahead. Start getting to know your Angels this season!

**I plan to continually post Angel prayers that I read, use, and write within this blog; feel free to change the words around to suit you. **

Energy Shifts, Astrology and Healing

Whooo-whee! How about the energy out there these days? Maybe some of you have been feeling the subtle energies shifting and feeling as though everything is so intense, and it is just not letting up. I have been experiencing the energies as being really draining! I'm usually pretty optimistic and in high spirits, but lately it is has been painfully challenging to stay high. I know that many light workers and sensitive people are feeling this way. Even those that are not generally as sensitive but who are becoming aware of subtle energies for the first time in their lives are feeling the intensity.
I think a lot of us may feel like we are alone in having these feelings. We may think that whatever drama is occurring is only happening in our lives, but the vibrations we are sensing are very real.
Being the natural investigator/researcher that I am, it wasn't enough for me to just say, 'oh damn, it's just another set of miserable days for me, just gotta get through it.' Nope, just not enough. When I sense that the energies are shifting it is because I feel it as vividly as getting hit by a bat over the head. The small hairs on my back and arms are always on stand by and they can't seem to fall back into place. That's just not natural to me. So I just know something is up, but I can't explain it. Being that I am reasonable in nature, I seek an explanation. Well, you want one, too, don't you?
I found an article that really helped to clear things up for me. Let me forewarn though, if you are not into the dynamics of astrology it might not be your cup of tea. If you read your horoscope in the range of sometimes to often, then I think you should give the piece a chance. It is a wee lengthy, so prepare to read it with time and minimal interruptions.
For those that want the the nuts and bolts of it: we have a planetary conjunction that rates pretty high on the astrological events scale. The action won't stop until Feb 2010. The two major player planets are Chiron, the Wounded Healer and Neptune, God of the Sea -- do you know how deep the sea is? Of course you don't, but as you may have guessed, it's pretty deep. And we all know where deep goes -- to the depths of our souls and then up to where God lives. (smiley face here). We have Chiron begging us to delve into our painful pasts, dig up the hurt so we can heal it forever, coasting alongside Neptune, eager for spiritual enlightenment. This conjunction can really make a roller coaster ride of a recipe. And the planets have dark sides! Think of a strung out Cinderella. Not a pretty thought, I know. But, there is an upside.Think of a mythical Phoenix bird. Much nicer, right? So the question is, how are you going to approach these changing times? This planetary movement reaching it's exact conjunction? Have you been or are you acting like a drug addicted Cinderella or have you been attempting at flight like the transcendental Phoenix? My soul will be working it out so that I emerge as the latter. We have an opportunity to truly heal during these times. We have an opportunity to let go of all our past wounds forever and emerge as the divine beings that we are; the God like people that we are deep within. I pray for me, my family, my loved ones, the light workers, the emerging souls that we may work to create a beautiful planet earth where peace and love reign over humanity.

And now the feature article, "The Chiron/Neptune Conjunction of 2009 - 2010" - Lynn Hayes. For the full article, click this link. ChironNeptuneConjunction

One of the big astrological events for 2009 is the triple conjunction of Chiron and Neptune with Jupiter that will culminate at the end of May when all three planets are within 1 degree of each other in Aquarius. Although the exact conjunction won't occur until February 17, 2010, Chiron and Neptune are within a degree of a conjunction now, so this planetary event is definitely well underway.

So what will this mean for us? Chiron teaches us to face the old wounds of our past and allow ourselves to be healed, opening us up to greater wisdom and understanding that we can then pass along to others. Neptune inspires us towards a more transcendent experience of our lives that encourages us to recognize the impermanence of life's mysteries. However, each of those planets have a darker face as well that can arise. If we resist the Chiron experience we can become stuck in our own wounds, unable to see that they are of our own making and unable to let go. If we resist the Neptune experience we can feel confused or become deluded by our fantasies and illusions.

Both Chiron and Neptune pose difficulty for the expression of the ego. Chiron requires that we process the wounds of the psyche before the ego can manifest in a truly healthy form, and Neptune calls for the transcendence of the ego into the divine unconscious: "from a drop of water to the endless sea." In Aquarius that transcendence of the ego is even more important as Aquarius is a transpersonal sign; the sign that loves mankind but isn't so crazy about people as individuals. The new "transhumanism" is a signature of Aquarius, in which technology and innovation are used to perfect the human being.

How Does Energy Healing Work?

I received a really great question from a fellow light worker around energy healing and I thought it would be good to share my reply. She thought that others might have this question, too. If you do have questions around how energy healing works, hopefully the below will shed some light. This is the very basics of it. I tend to like things basically. If you have any other questions about it, feel free to shoot me an email or leave a comment for me on this post.

--About how energy healing works, I have thought much about it, too.

There are many ways to understand the workings of healing energy . For me, this question begins with what the meaning of healing is. For the kind of energy work that I do, healing is the process that it takes for us to be awakened to the Life Force, the Creator within our selves. I feel that being brought to this awareness is what offers us a path to healing. Having said that, the "healer" can be thought of as the transmitter of healing energy, like you said, or a catalyst,facilitator or incubator of it. The real healer is the person doing the actual healing.

--So then, what happens to the physical problem/dis-ease of the being? Where does it go?

Here, the whole of the being fully opens itself (consciously or subconsciously) to RECEIVE. In the ability to get out of the way, so to speak, one is able to fully receive the life force energy that is always there for us to tap into. The being receives and the healing takes place which could look like something that gets better with time or could look like a spontaneous healing. As we are creative beings and have generative abilities, we also have RE generative abilities :-). The dis-eased energy does not go anywhere. Here is the best part.... the energy transforms! It changes into something else-- into EASE. Feeling good and being well takes it's place.

--As for prayer ...

The words we speak and words themselves hold energy/vibration that can actually shift/transform energy. The healer is open to receive and ... you know the magical rest!

Isn't it so amazing?

Laying On Hands

For many folks the laying on hands is considered hocus pocus. To some extent, I can understand why people would think that. It can be hard to comprehend how it works. It works so simply that it is hard for us to get that it even works at all.

I believe that we are all born with a natural ability to heal ourselves. We also have natural abilities to heal others. Our hands are basically hot spots for our living energy to radiate out from. Let me repeat what I just last wrote -- our living energy. This living energy is the source of this natural ability to heal. We can understand this living source as love primarily and belief in the healing. It is really that simple!

Living energy is everywhere and everything in this universe. It is vast. And we humans are this living energy, too. We are vast -- beyond our current beliefs.

It is my intent to help change minds in order to help expand on current beliefs. I want to help to expose just a tiny bit of the vastness.

I recently read an article about Hands-On Spiritual Healing. I want to share it with you. It's a short read, but supportive of laying of hands healing. Enjoy!

Hands On Healing

White Light of Protection

As light workers awaken their light bodies we naturally become more radiant or bright lights. Our vibrations shift to higher frequencies.

Originally, I had thought that radiating more light energy would automatically create a protective shield around us. While I still think this is true (according to like attracts like law) I have also come to understand that the brighter the light radiates out the more it may attract -- both high frequencies and low frequencies. Lower frequencies are attracted to Light in much the same way that a moth is to a flame (a light source). Common theory states that moths use light sources as a navigational compass, or a guiding light so to speak, so that they can fly in a straight line. Workers of light (we know who we are) are guiding lights to "nocturnal creatures" sometimes guiding them towards a straight path. At times, these moths circling our bright light can be unwanted ... so, what then?

Well, then ... this is where we draw upon the very light we are radiating for added protection --- the White Light of Protection.

Here is how to use it:

FIRST -- You need to find a time and a place in which you will be undisturbed. If that means taking the phone off the hook, then do that. If you are at work, then go into the bathroom for a couple of minutes and do this very quick and easy meditation. This will only take a 2 or 3 short minutes. Then sit down and make yourself comfortable. Put your feet flat on the floor and let your hands rest on your lap, with the palms facing up. (Or you can sit on the floor in the Lotus position, if you prefer)

SECOND -- Place your thumb and index finger, or your thumb and middle finger, together. This is the east Indian position called "mudra" and has been shown in laboratory testing to actually make a connection in the brain that induces a relaxed feeling and light level of meditative trance.

THIRD -- Take 3 SLOW deep breaths, making each breath out longer than the breath in before it. ... Then ... imagine White Light coming down from above and entering your body through the top of your head. ... See and feel this White Light filling every part of your body and mind. ... Make it real with the power of your mind. ... See any dark places and spaces that might be within you fill with that White Light. .... See it .... feel it .... sense it..... This might take a few minutes the first few times you try it. As you keep doing it more and more it will take less and less time, until it takes just a few seconds to do .... When you see or sense your body AND your mind totally and completely filled with the White Light, then see a little bit of it coming out of your body through your solar plexus, just above your belly button ... and then see it surrounding your body like you are surrounded in a protective eggshell of positive White Light. ... This White Light is God-energy and it will cleanse and protect you.... KNOW that you are totally protected....

Intuitive Counselor VS Psychic

I was searching information on intuitive counseling and stumbled upon this great video. The main reason I want to post this is because I feel mischamcp really lays it down ... at least for me. When I heard her explanation on the difference between Intuitive Counselor and Pyschic it just straight up resonated with me. I am grateful to have found this video. I have found words to express how I feel about these words! This also serves to help me explain what's in my medicine bag -- meaning, what I do.

I don't feel it should matter so much what we call ourselves as much as what that is should really feel right. Know what I mean? Maybe another reason for why what we call ourselves may matter is so that the folks we are serving also resonate with it.
