Reiki Classes

Reiki energy is different from other forms of energy work. This method involves connecting you to life energy (ki) from the heavens (rei) which is divinely guided so that it can do no harm. It is a more gentle form of energy work that helps the physical body and emotional body soften and release. Reiki does not need to be directed for healing, this energy is divinely guided.
On an emotional level, Reiki helps a person release what they have been holding so they can open to laughter, life, and wonderment again. This facilitates healing by moving out carbon monoxide and lactic acid from the physical body creating a deep sleep healing state. For optimal health, ideally everyone would have a Reiki session once a week. By learning Reiki yourself, you will be able to work on yourself daily. The classes offer such a deep healing to each student.
My classes involve two different types of Holy Fire World Peace® Reiki, beginning with Usui Reiki and advancing with Karuna® Reiki. All the classes are based on the upgraded multidimensional Holy Fire World Peace healing energies for a more thorough clearing of soul level karma. This allows for healing on many layers of the aura each session for faster recovery from illness or injury.

Holy Fire World Peace® Usui Reiki


There are three levels to Reiki. Level I, II, & III/Master. I teach Holy Fire World Peace Reiki with traditional Usui Reiki foundation which is an excellent foundation for a healthy practice and loving way of being. By learning how to work on yourself first and have healthy practices, you will be able to harness this healing energy for soft tissue injury healing, releasing daily stress, improving digestion, and better sleep for yourself and others. Each level increases the flow of the Reiki Energy, read more below. Usui Reiki flows like water from a hose. The goal is to expand the flow rate over time so that the flow moves more like a fire hose than a garden hose. Practice each day improves the flow as well. Plants, animals, computers, all benefit from improving their function with Reiki. Start with level I and go play! Book now.

Holy Fire III® Karuna Reiki

Holy Fire World Peace® Karuna Reiki provides 8 new symbols to elevate the frequency of the healing energy work in two different levels. Karuna Reiki moves like a slow foaming energy on a deep cellular level and is the arch angels healing energy. Pre-req is completing Master Level Of Holy Fire World Peace® Usui Reiki at least 6 months before learning while also having at practiced on clients in a professional setting.

The first four symbols provide the healing anesthetic, laser focus, healing relationships, & grounding energies. These are helpful because this level repair subconsciously may meet resistance. The last four symbols offer more tools with Earth healing, peace, reclaiming power, and connecting to higher self/wisdom. You will receive eight new symbols to access ArchAngel healing in this level. Book Now.

In my classes I focus on a foundation in energy grounding and flow throughout the energetic core. This helps to protect the practitioner and maintain healthy energy boundaries.

If you feel called to practice Reiki and learn more about Chakras and the Energy Body, Reiki classes are a great way to start!

I learned Reiki in 2002 with a weekend intensive. It is more intense than learning Level I and then waiting a few weeks for the energy integration and practicing self-treatments before doing level II. There can be some rather deep healing as your body adjusts to the higher vibrations of energy and you may experience a purge of old wounds. I experienced an old illness of tonsillitis for two days after my weekend intensive but then all cleared away with soup, hot teas and rest. This also coincided with a much needed release of old limiting beliefs during that time.

Dedication to self-care is essential if you would like to sign up for the full weekend intensive. If you feel very passionately about diving in for a quantum vibrational shift, please do sign up for both days. If you are more interested in taking the traditional path, feel free to sign up for either day separately. There is no right or wrong way to open the channel for Reiki Healing energy. Book now.

Holy Fire III® Usui Reiki Level III/Master $888 Include ICRT book

beautiful beauty blue bright
Dive into the journey within.

Level III is a process of connecting you to your higher self with a placement of the Reiki Master Symbol (Master) and learning to tune in to the energy for additional techniques for healing yourself and others. I prefer to divide level III into separate classes spread over three days. After a few months of integration and practice you make choose to learn to become a teacher with me.

Master level is more than the Usui Master symbol and practice with this new energy. We learn techniques for aura clearing and energy block removal. We also learn guided healing meditations, attachment removal, and more. This level gives even more tools and I prefer to spend time working on the mastery of these skills. We dig into moving meditations and more.

I love to provide time to practice with each one and then leaning into giving attunements. Practicing the cosmic orbit meditation ahead of time is super important as your awareness grows each time. We start with Healing Attunements and move through moving meditations as well.

These classes are like opening the door into yourself.  Many ways to learn and to heal yourself will be presented.  Some aspects will resonate more for you than others, It is important to honor this and allow for you own path to unfold. Book now.

Holy Fire World Peace® Karuna Reiki $1088 Includes ICRT book

Holy Fire World Peace® Karuna Reiki is a newer, more powerful Reiki energy. Combined with the trauma healing aspect of Holy Fire, Karuna Reiki connects healing as the cellular level. The founders says it from the archangels frequency. We are literally channeling the loving energy to help us shed the heavy, low frequency states. The energy flows in a different way, instead of like water from a waterfall, it moves more like a foam and expands on a deeps level. I have felt it move energy blocks on all levels of a person’s being for long lasting relief from pain and stuckness. My clients say this energy feels more powerful and gets them into Alpha dreamstate very quickly in either the first or second session. I found soft tissue injuries healing in 1/4 the time needed with Usui Reiki alone.

This class is three full days to cover the 8 new symbols and develop a relationship with each. I ask that we make a meeting time a month later to practice and connect with each one again as the energy of each has a different frequency and healing purpose. We will also learn to teach others to the Karuna Reiki energy. Book Now.

We dig into brain entrainment a bit in this course as well. The frequencies below represent the difference between the frequency flowing from each hand which lead to brain entrainment. Example 1056 htz and 1060 htz create a wave of 4 htz leading to theta state. Read more about Sound Therapy Brain states here.

Frequency rangeNameUsually associated with:
> 40 HzGamma wavesHigher mental activity, including perception, problem solving, and consciousness
13–39 HzBeta wavesActive, busy thinking, active processing , active concentration, arousal, and cognition
7–13 HzAlpha wavesCalm relaxed yet alert state
4–7 HzTheta wavesDeep meditation /relaxation, REM sleep
< 4 HzDelta wavesDeep dreamless sleep, loss of body awareness
Reiki is typically in the above ranges 0.5 Hz to 30 Hz.


Acupressure with Tuning Forks Class $125

In the course we will practice using an Otto Tuner (weighted tuning fork) at acupressure points for energy balance through the physical body for optimal Chi aka Prana or Ki. Please bring either a 128 htz, or 136.1 htz tuning fork for the class. I will provide the manual. We will spend time talking about contra-indications, things to consider, practices, and special points and routines. For class registration I will ask about health challenges you would like to learn to work on with this method for our
If there’s enough interest, we will gather and continue practice once a month-$20 offering suggested.

Healing Emotion Traps

woman in Seattle Train Station

Have you ever been stuck, like really stuck? Replaying a scene of an argument or breakup over and over again in your mind? These are emotional traps that form when we are children as a way to keep us from understanding the power within. I have wasted so many hours stuck in the same story for much of life. One of my story stuckness revolved around shame, my personal theme: Body-shaming.

Emotion Traps Discovered

As a young adult, I hit a point when I was reading my journals, reviewing my life, when I realized so much of it focused on shame of my weight and body size. I suddenly decided I didn’t want to focus on that anymore, I wanted to let go of the anguish I felt thinking about it. Like a switch flipped, I moved on to focus on other things. There was so much more to life now that that theme was gone from my storyline. I cleared part of the emotional trap of body shame. This was the beginning of my understanding of Emotion Traps.

This didn’t mean that I was immune to shame, no it still hurt when I heard fat shaming and other body judgements. I took that hurt and judged others but in reverse. What helped tremendously was the day I realized that some skinny people wished they could gain curves. I stopped reverse body shaming in that moment. A softening occurred in my heart as I learned there was no way to know what emotional traps surrounded others. This opened the door to compassion and curiosity about where others experienced shame and their own emotional stuckness.

With Reiki practice in my life, I began to notice areas of dense energy tended to be around the hips and shoulders way out in the energy field of each client. They would have certain hot spots near the different chakras where my hands would light up which appeared to tie in to different emotions. My first Biofield Tuning Session I received, revealed a tremendous amount of stuck shame from my childhood. This release gave me great insight into the potential for healing using Sound and Reiki to help move out these areas of dense energy storage, these Emotion Traps.

Experimenting with Clearing Emotion Traps

From Eileen McKusik’s Biofield Tuning Course

With Biofield Tuning training, I learned a map for these stuck emotions. Incorporating this map with both Reiki and Biofield Tuning helping clients identify and release the stuck emotions. Using Reiki, Chanting, Tuning Forks, these areas would clear and release physical body pain or heaviness. Clients would experience relief from old injuries, stuckness, and digestive trouble. Emotion Traps are the best name for these areas. Emotion Traps helps me better understand what, why, and how I keep seeing this pattern.

Understanding more with practice, I found that helping clients to participate in the release allows for a thorough healing that lasts longer. Using Holy Fire Reiki has helped as the energy has such a flame-like quality, dense energy simply melts away. I also ask clients questions about the size and shape of the dense energy. When they visualize it, they are able to more thoroughly let it go. We are each our own best healer I remember over and over again.

Merkabah Pattern Revealed By My College Roommate

Recently, I became super focused on these larger pockets of dense energy further out in the field. I keep finding them in the areas about 5 feet from the shoulder & hip on the right-divine masculine energy and left side- divine feminine. With meditation I asked for more guidance regarding these areas. What do they represent and how do I help clients release these more thoroughly?

Using Reiki, chanting, toning, and tuning forks to activate and clear these dense energy areas, I found clients were experiencing exponential clearing, lightening, and healing. This technique was repeatable, but I wasn’t quite sure exactly what I was doing until I saw a Biofield Tuning course on Digesting Emotions. Eileen called these dense areas Emotion Traps. What a perfect name. It is not my fault that I get stuck in certain emotions over and over again. My responsibility is to clear these areas from myself. From this place of growth i will teach others. My focus shifted to reminding everyone how to digest their emotions with kindness and energy for optimal health. I felt I was close to the target but still missing a part of the picture.

My path led me to visit with my friend Gretchen in Bellingham Washington. We met back before college on orientation to Young Harris College and decided to be roommates. Gretchen taught me so much about deep feeling and intuition. My left brain wasn’t fully ready to embrace all she was bringing into my awareness, but the door was opened. This visit she showed me her paintings about awakening and spiritual portals and healing. I saw clearly the pattern that I was working in my clients in one she painted with the merkabah in 3 dimensions. She had some paintings that accurately showed energy patterns of healing I see during sessions. This unlocked more understanding.

Sacred Geometry with Reiki Repair Aura

My eyelids have been flaring up with allergic dermatitis and eczema over the last several years, but none as bad as this year. Gretchen has been tending to her own organic farm and created her own skincare line. She gave me some soap and facial oil to help my skin. Her facial oil has been the only thing that gives my skin lasting moisture all day without any irritation. Check out her skincare here. So here we are 25 years later finally having a complete alignment despite living on opposite side of the country with a kids and careers in between.

Once I returned home I researched the merkabah. I recognized how the form fit over a person and could help establish a structure for their aura to stop collapsing. Activating the points on the merkabah at the emotion trap areas creates a flow structure, like a crystalline grid within our aura. Emotions no longer trap dense energy and accumulate stuckness that shrink the aura and keep physical bodies from healing. I now work these points on myself and my eyelids clear up. I’m so grateful for leaning in to synchronicities.

This has been a powerful pattern to work towards the end of the session once the body stress is cleared. The energy link up is guided by their higher self and my higher self at the highest frequency healing that is able to flow through. This discovery is so exciting! It’s showing up in several healing modalities at once, so I know that NOW is the time. Sacred Geometry applied to Reiki and Sound Healing is the way to help maintain a wide aura that is flowing continuously. This flow is the KEY!

Why is Aura Repair needed?

There are many reasons you may need aura repair. The Aura is the biofield, an electromagnetic field that surrounds things. From the Earth to the heliosphere around the sun, there are poles through which the energy flows. Humans, animals, and plants are the same. Even rocks and crystals have an electromagnetic field. The Aura of a human is composed of many layers as we have complex layers to our emotions & connections. With energy work modalities, practitioners work to strengthen the flow of energy and the surface tension of the field to help a person experience radiant health. When someone suffers from exhaustion, struggles to identify their own feelings, or is aware of too much outside of themselves (HSP), they likely need aura repair.

Feeling Fatigued?

Feeling exhausted after being around others, indicates a person has small rips or tears in their aura and unintentionally pours their energy out into others. In Aura repair, the rips and tears are smoothed over, reconnected, healed using sound or energy work. Reiki, Quantum Healing, Healing touch, or other Chi/ Ki moving practices to help restore higher frequency and intensity of flow through the energy field. The better the flow, the more resilient and flexible the field becomes allowing for it to move and push back rather than rip or tear.

When chakras are flowing well, the aura layers expand.

Need Headache relief?

When someone has frequent headaches, it is very possible that the flow is blocked around the bottom of their aura. The energy may be compressed due to stressors or shallow breathing which leads to energy stacking up the body with no release point. Then the hard stress energy pushes out around the head causing headaches. Ideally the grounding gives space for the stress to release out of the body into the Earth allow for best flow within the aura. With Aura repair, these pathways can be restored and the headaches resolved or reduced significantly.

Feeling Extra Sensitive?

Another symptom of the need for Aura repair is feeling others emotions or energy too intensely. Typically the main symptom of aura needing repair, this over awareness of others is a survival reaction which causes aura shrinkage. The smaller, distorted aura becomes more permeable in a very short amount of time. With repeat exposure to others becoming a learned painful experience, individuals may need days to recover their lots sense of self and energy. With Aura repair and training for proper grounding techniques, this type experience can be a distant memory.

Absorbing Others Emotions or Energy?

Are you ready to stop absorbing other people’s energy or emotions? When you can learn to create a nice wide grounding, you will amp your flow of energy. Then you release stress with ease. The energy flow through the lower back must go from a 2 lane highway into a 12 lane highway. This will allow your own healing energy to help you stay fully embodied and expansive way above and below you like a bubble. When your energy flow stops at your stomach or heart center then it becomes pinched and will either; push out the front (worry of future-anxiety) or the back (living in the past-depression) which leaves you open to absorb others energy or emotions.

When you connect with your center and have a wide ground connection for all hard, sticky, heavy, slow energy to discharge into the Earth, you will have much healthier sense of your own emotions and energy. This creates a fast current like a waterfall through your whole being. This flow will improve the strength of the Auras surface tension, again helping with healthier energy boundaries. You now pour your energy into yourself as you activate your flow through the solar plexus to fountain forward and then around your back to nourish your aura. Your aura has strong surface tension so you nourish you and stop absorbing. Book an Aura Healing Session to begin your healing Flow journey.

Energy Chord Clearing

A seasoned practitioner can also sense when old wounds are connected to another person or if someone has connected to old wounds. This is called energy chording. Many well-meaning friends and family chord into a person’s energy by telling them what they should do and focusing on their idea of the next step for other person’s path. With Aura repair, the invasive energy of others can gently be removed, the connection severed, so that a more healthy relationship becomes an option. Typically both parties feel relief with the repair as there was a burden. The responsibility for another’s happiness and well-being as well as surrendering a sense of self on the other end of things causes energy imbalance. Energy Chord clearing can be simple once you’re grounded and centered. Watch my video here. After Aura healing work, client’s begin to understand healthy boundaries from a whole new perspective.

When you have a good practitioner to help you have a strong, flowing aura with a good surface tension, you will feel energized, a stronger sense of self, and lighter. A good practitioner will also help you have a good idea of how to ground your whole energy body and all the aura layers. Check out the different modalities and reach out to Serenity Attunement for Aura Repair today for your free assessment. We are happy to help you sense how a strong flowing aura makes you feel.

Expanding Reiki Energy-work with Quantum Healing.

Have you ever wondered about this “energy” that people talk about? Have you watching Masked Singer and felt the most powerful performer give you goose bumps? Have you watched Dancing with the Stars and felt inspired watching? This is energy moving through them into you. These talented individuals are filled with love while doing these activities, and we feel it as observers.

This energy of love has a very powerful frequency, and other beings match it through entrainment. This process is similar to playing a piano and the sound wave causing the string on a guitar across the room to vibrate. The same thing happens with two grandfather clocks on two separate sides of the rooms, eventually they match the swing of the pendulum to each other.

Since we are made up of mostly water and we all have an electromagnetic field that radiates a frequency when we are happy, energized, or filled with love and excitement, it only makes sense that we can help each other using frequencies to heal our bodies. The thing about the electromagnetic fields though, is that is behaves like plasma (see Biofield tuning). What else behaves like a plasma?

Fire.

Fire dances and twists, turns and burns through most things as the fire grows stronger. Oxygen feeds the fire. This is how energy works in the body. With breathwork, energy moves quickly and more powerfully burning off blocks from emotional holding. Holding any emotion causes a block or a dam to stop the energy and stagnate within that area. This lead to a build up of lactic acid and carbon monoxide over time. This causes soreness, inflammation, and over time disease. With practice, one can learn to be aware of this energy field and help it grow strong and burn off any blocks and allow for good flow and prevent disease. All energy modalities involve some sort of movement of life energy, whether through breath work and movement in Thai Chi or Chi Gong, or having someone else channel high frequency energy to entrain the recipient through Reiki, Healing Touch, or Quantum Healing. Quantum healing is different because it combines the energy work like Reiki and Healing Touch with breath-work.

This amps up the frequency by Quantum leaps into a whole new realm of potential for healing. Every client has felt the energy almost immediately. To me it feels like a warm hug and then starts to move through the body in waves. I have witnessed powerful release of old injuries, traumas, and old ways of thinking over these last few weeks. It’s been really beautiful to watch clients relax deeply and allow their body’s to heal at a whole different level.

If you are ready to take your healing to a new level, reach out and try Quantum Healing! I am super excited to bring this new modality to my clients as I felt it provide a deeper level of reconnecting each one of us to our healing potential. There is powerful healing energy in everything around us and this really helps to provide that reconnection that we have all lost somewhere along the way.

If you are new to energy work, please reach out and book a session. Your body can heal, it just needs to reconnect and remember what that feels like!
I love working with all ages, children and adolescents can really benefit from this work, as do animals and plants. Reach out if you have a loved one who seems disconnected lately. This Quantum Healing can powerfully reconnect them. Book now.

Reiki For Healing

Above all else, being kind is the best expression of love. Healing requires an abundance of love and compassion The more I teach Reiki classes, the more I feel it to my core. Reiki Principles are a simple and clear guide to love.

Just for today, do not anger. The energy of anger is powerful and spins fast like a fan. Unfortunately, when that fan is spinning we have no control and everyone in its path gets hurt. The key is to recognize anger and pause, pull the cord to the power source and go for a walk. Allow the fan to slow down and look at what hurt feelings powered it up in the first place. Tend to the hurt feelings with kindness. Love the opportunity to care for the hurt and heal this old wound.
Gratitude fills me with the opportunity to heal this in the moment to moment. I spent years running around trying to have a house clean enough, my business organized enough, my social media posts seen enough to grow my business. When I sat a listened to what was hurting, I found it was my spirit. It was time for me to be sure to play and do things I enjoyed. It was time to put me first. I had all my responsibilities handled and now it was time to focus on having fun.
Just for today, do not worry. Worrying takes you out of the present. The key to healthy living is staying in one’s body and mind in the minute to minute. I knew this intellectually, but it took me a long time to walk in the present moment. The more I learned to focus on inhabiting my body and treating it with kindness and care, in how I sat, stood, and held myself, the more present I became. I started to recognize how out of alignment I was when I worried, my hips tilted forward and then my whole spine and neck was out of whack. The importance of releasing worry to release my body was never more clear.

Just for for today, work honestly. This one is so important to unravel. I try hard to be honest to everyone, but what I realized is I wasn’t being honest to myself. Some days I didn’t want to be super helpful, creative, resourceful, and persistent. Some days I just wanted to rest. And once I realized how to recognize this, I realized this was me learning to be honest with myself. No one is perfect, and some days I get to lie low and be restful work slowly, to allow kindness to flow back through me. Allowing myself to process and understand my feelings was powerful. Giving myself space to not work at maximum efficiency gave me room to allow others to do the same.
Be grateful for your many blessings. Taking time every day to go through things for which I can be grateful helps me to start off on the right foot. This practice helps to switch gears and be thankful. Gratitude is essential for healing resentment. I needed this as I learned how to be kind to myself. Resentments were melting away and this focus on gratitude helped me to push that old dialogue and pattern out of the way.
Be kind to all living things. We loop back around to the most important thing. By being kind to another, that gives them permission to soften the heart and unwind their own inner dialogue. Being kind to myself, is equally important because it gives other permission to do the same. By being kind to myself, I have room in my heart, mind, and body, to extend grace to others. These principles are such an important key to healthy living. Reiki practice keeps me unwinding and unlinking, to be a better channel of unconditional love.

Learning Reiki is Learning to Love

When I first began my journey into Reiki and Energy work, I was really skeptical. All I knew was that my mother’s ankle had been healed after a bad sprain by someone doing Reiki on her at a party. I was fascinated. Little did I know that Reiki was really learning how to be a channel of love and compassion and this is what heals.

As the years have gone by and I teach more and more classes, I remember the beginning by watching my students. Feeling a bit of doubt, but feeling certain about the sensation of Reiki during the class. Self-treatment sessions are recommended daily. At first I just worked on injuries and neglected self-treatments, curious how Reiki worked. But as years went on I began to understand why self-treatments were so important.

The key to allowing deep flow for self-practice is love. Being able to generate feelings of love is a huge part of being able to channel Reiki. I have no trouble feeling love and compassion for others, but have trouble doing so for myself. By doing daily self-treatments, I have to carve out 15-45 minutes to just listen to my body and learn where I am holding tightness, pain, and emotions. And yes, despite having practiced Reiki for many years, I still hold onto stress and emotions. Remembering and understanding why daily self-treatments are recommended has been a game changer for me through this pandemic.

With this awakening, I learned loving others and connecting to Source, God, Love is the most healing action. The way to allow for more powerful Reiki for my clients is to turn this action on myself. This pandemic has allowed me the blessing of understanding the importance of self-love and self-care made a daily priority.

With so much uncertainty, the one true certain thing is our ability to love ourselves. No matter what happens, we have control over this most healing action. This is the key. No one else can do it for us. We have to learn how to use our most powerful heart generator to feel love for ourselves, all our emotions and mistakes in order to offer this to others. This is how we heal.

If you feel off balance, overwhelmed, angry, frustrated more than you feel love, it may be time to schedule a Reiki session to remember what love feels like flowing through your physical body. Reach out to schedule a session today. Healingwithangels77@gmail.com and just let me know if you prefer mornings or afternoons, weekdays or weekends. Much love to you.💖

Navigating the Inner Landscape with Reiki and Energy Medicine

The last few months of this pandemic world has created an opportunity for me to dig in an heal my old patterns. A few of my old fears rear their ugly head when stressful life situations come my way. I know myself thankfully after years of sitting with my emotions and making space to witness them, and so I could tell I was spinning out. Time to dig in and make space for healing.

My trigger is financial hardship and my response is to get angry. So there’s been a good bit of that around the house which is my clue to get some alone time outside.

While sitting in the yard doing breath work and imagining myself floating like the wind through the leaves on the trees I understood I was hurting myself by working too much. I had been focused on researching grants/ loans and department of labor rules. I had been pushing myself too much. Time for me to pause and let go of the illusion of control. It was time for me to float on the river and practice being a leaf on the water; the swell was here. There’s nothing I could do about it but simply be.

Unwinding that spring of fear around money is an ongoing process, but I have simply learned to pace myself and pause when I am starting to feel angry, annoyed, or frustrated. I am doing reiki and acupressure to rebalance the energy and unkink the blocks that come from stress and create anxiety. That allows me to get in touch with my physical body and reconnect my awareness allowing the flow to return and rebalance my emotions. Then I am able to feel that reconnection through my feet to the Earth. The emotions and stress now flow out into the Earth and she nourishes me in return. There’s literally nothing else to be done but go outside and chose to enjoy the beautiful life around me.

This is a process of forgetting and relearning every few weeks of this pandemic, but what a great time for me to push against the growth edge and learn a new lesson completely with lots of practice. Truly as long as I have the ability to feel amazement at our gorgeous world filled with life, I can feel we have enough.

Following the Reiki Principals

The ocean just wipes away stress and I feel so free in the wind and the waves.

Along with learning to connect and channel Reiki energy with an attunement, we also learn the Reiki precepts. These guidelines provide an ideal way to live one’s life in order to be the beacon of universal life energy from the heavens. These ideals provide a goal for the way to be walking with love and compassion. These precepts have given me so much to work on for the last 20 years. The precepts are as follows:

Just for today, do not worry
Just for today, do not anger
Just for today, do your best
Just for today, be grateful
Just for today, be kind to every living thing.

Simple enough, but oh so challenging. The key to being able to walk fully in all of these practices has been to take time to breathe deep and quiet my mind. Then in that space I am able to allow my body to release all the stress and emotions I have been holding. Meditation was impossible for me until Reiki. This practice has truly changed my life from one of surviving to one of thriving!

Just for today, is super helpful for me as it takes away the pressure of having to live up to this all the time. Since this is just for today, it feels very doable. I love that each one starts with what I feel is essentially saying, focus on right now.

Do not worry. This precept is easier some day more than others. I truly have come to realize, as long as I am taking time to breathe deep and take time for me a few times throughout the day, then this is possible.
Thoughts can be my biggest enemy, but instead of fighting them I have learned to see the worry as a clue it is time to be peaceful and take time to relax. Do not worry, but instead do.

Trying to control anger did not work. I had to view anger as a baby to be tended to.

Do not anger, has literally been my most challenging practice. The hardest part was to see how I was hurting and tend to that on my own. I learned to accept responsibility for my emotions and then talk to others after I had determined the root cause.

One book that helped me tremendously was ANGER by Thich Naht Hanh. This book describes the importance of personifying anger and seeing Anger as a baby. I had to learn to tend to the baby, and take it for a walk until it calmed down.

Next I learned to dig in and examine what was the hurt underneath. This skill is super empowering. No longer was I victim of my emotions or what someone “made me feel.” This simple precept took me years to master. And now that I have, I want everyone to know how important and powerful this is!

This technique of tending to Anger is a key step in Reclaiming your Power. You have the power over how you react to situations. You have the power to tend to you emotions and love them all as a part of you. This is self-love.

Once you have mastered the concept, the next step is to practice and feel it. Set up a session with me to learn or remember how to Reclaim your power through self love. Email healingwithangels77@gmail.com to set up time for self work.❤️
