I am now certified as a Reiki Master Teacher!

What a beautiful weekend with amazing people and a wonderful experience!

I feel so invigorated with love and peace and optimism!

I received my Reiki Master and Reiki Master Teacher certificates this weekend from Libby Barnett. And in the process met some remarkable people. Julie Hahn from Brigham and Women's Hospital attended with her daughter Brady Hahn (her own site). Her document from about volunteering at the hospital (click link here.) Julie will be writing a book about Reiki and the benefits seen through her work at the hospital. A recent article regarding Hospital Reiki Training Program (click here.)

I'm still buzzing from the energy and mindfulness of the two classes. I also discovered why I haven't painted my Reiki practice studio.... I can't say, but now I know and it's really wonderful. It will be completed very soon and as it should be.

And my biggest take-a-way from this experience, LOVE. Lead with Love. Be in the moment and be Love. And put into practice the 5 Reiki precepts.

At least for today:

Do not be angry,
Do not worry,
Be grateful,
Work with diligence,
Be kind to people.

And from the Brigham;



Namaste

Mixed emotions

So there have been a lot of things going on in my life lately and some have been good and some have been not-so-good. My emotions have been up and down as a result. I have been working on allowing myself to go where the Universe is leading me. I've been trying to not beat myself up for not getting things done in the time frame I imagined they would be.

For example, the studio space for my Reiki practice is still not finished off. Each weekend seems to have something planned that takes away from getting it done. But here's why I'm conflicted... These obstacles have been wonderful experiences. So, that is why I feel so mixed.

Breathe. That's what I need to do. Just breathe and love. Let love be my guide.

This weekend is my Reiki Master class with Libby Barnett and I'm really looking forward to that.

The next week I'm on vacation and will be visiting my oldest brother in North Carolina (I've never been down to see him there.)

And when I get back, I'll be "on-call" for my regular day job all weekend.

It won't be until August that I think I will be completely able to finish the studio and make my "Grand Opening" announcement.

Okay Universe. I will use this time to grow with my Reiki and intuition and find peace and patience.

Over share perhaps?

I've been debating whether or not to share these last two events because they may seem over the top. But this is a journal after all, so I will.


So, at around 2:30am (May 29th) I woke up and then got up to go to the bathroom. When I stepped outside my bedroom, my daughter met me in the hall. She was upset because she said she had a bad dream. We went downstairs to the bathroom together. Afterwards, I walked her back to her room, tucked her in and she went right to sleep.

When I got to bed, I started to drift off, but then I felt like I was hearing something and I was expecting either my daughter to get back up or her little sister to come in so that I could take her to the potty. But then the next thing I feel is that we lost power and the night lights are out. So I wake up a little more. I was going to wake my husband up to call Unitil.

Next thing I see is a middle aged African American woman kneeling at the end of my bed. I freaked out. She then took my left hand. It came to me that her name was Maria. hen another woman appeared. She was wearing a blue outfit, like something a woman from India would wear, like a long shirt and flowing pants. She had black hair and light skin and a happy calm face. I wasn't afraid of her. She stood in front of Maria and then Maria laid on the ground and faded away. I don't know who this woman in blue was. But now that I'm thinking about it, I think she was a guardian and she pushed Maria back in an effort to comfort me. I don't think that Maria was trying to hurt me, but I think something bad happened to her and that she wanted me to know and my fear and freak out was just her energy transferring to me.

I woke my husband up and we talked about what happened... He was very supportive. Later that morning, he woke up from his own dream and said it was really weird. My first comment was; "were you flying?" and he says, "A plane crashed into the house...."

And on my way to work, I was thinking about my co-worker who's wife channels with spirits and sure enough, he was in his car right behind me when we pulled in. I told him my dreams... He said that his wife really wants to talk to me....

I'm still shaking a bit... wow.

Then June 2nd I was relaxing and searching the web on my phone... It came to me that I should know who the woman in blue's name is. And then I wondered how I would know. So, very quickly I found some information that talked about how you can find out. It was very simple instructions. Relax and start meditating and count to 20 for each inhalation. And by the time you get to 20, you should have a name in your mind or even hear the name.

Well, I think I got to maybe 7 or 8 when the name Karen came to me...but I kept counting because I thought that maybe it wasn't just Karen... and so then when I got to 20, I was 100% sure that the spelling was Karin.

So, then I wanted to look that up, because I can tell you, I have never seen it spelled that way and didn't even know a thing about it.


Meaningpure

When I saw what the name means, I felt such a burst of energy I cried a little.

So excited to make the next step in my journey

I am very happy and excited to announce the opening of my private Reiki practice. I will be setting up a fantastic space in my home that is an ideal area for providing Reiki healing. I will be renovating a walk-in basement studio apartment in my house that is currently our exersize room. It's a fanastic space with it's own private 3/4 bath, a kitchenette, cable, phone and windows facing the rising sun from the eastern skies. There's ample room for yoga, meditation and of course a Reiki table. I also plan to have a small office desk and sitting area for consultations and coaching. I've selected the paints and general decor and will be replacing the flooring. I hope to have a grand opening in the next few months, but will take sessions on a soft opening basis.

Connections continue

I saw a co-worker Alison walking in the hallway . She looked really stressed out so I decided to ask her to join me for a tea break. Over tea in our small office kitchenette, I started to talk about Reiki. I mentioned who I took my training from (Libby Barnett) and that she even co-authored a book. Then Alison says, "Is the other author named Maggie (Chambers?)" I replied, "Yes."

So it turns out that Alison is good friends with Maggie's daughter and personally knows Maggie.

HA!
