Looking Back and Moving Forward with Reiki

Tonight I was reading an article written by Mari Hall and her experience of using Reiki in her life. Daily it seems that we hear of others who are experiencing emotional, physical, mental and spiritual distress. There are many alternative and complimentary modalities that can assist when times are rough.

Tonight on the news they showed a young mother of two children who was diagnosed with colon cancer that had spread to other organs. Her doctors did not give her much hope. She asked about complimentary treatments and found that Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Hospital located in Seattle has a program that does include complimentary treatments to her regular Western medicine regime. They offer yoga, massage, exercise, nutritional counseling and I bet various energy healing techniques. This woman has reported since she has been doing the complimentary practices, the tumors are shrinking and her lungs are now clear.

Here is Mari's story........

Looking Back and Moving Forward with Reiki

by Mari Hall

This is an excerpt from the complete article that appears in the Spring edition of the Reiki News Magazine.

I recently took a few days to reflect on the events of 2007 as well as how my life was before and has been after Reiki. Have you also had thoughts like that or found yourself saying, “Before Reiki I was…, and after Reiki I am…?”

Before Reiki I thought the world was harsh and hard to live in. I had decided it was not safe to show emotions, certainly that love would hurt, and the people in your life would never be there for you. I lived life closed, depressed and isolated. I was an outsider looking in at life and watching other people. I knew it was not safe to participate in life because you could not trust anyone…after all with my track record my mind was firmly made up.

I had few close friends in school and spent much of my time in my room painting or writing in my journal. By the time I was 37 I had two failed marriages and had spent enough time spent in the hospital with various illnesses to know things just did not come easy and that I did not deserve any better. I was told by my doctors that by the time I was forty, I would be totally paralyzed and in a wheelchair.

In 1980, I participated in a Reiki course and started to give myself Reiki. The paralysis in my body disappeared, but most importantly, I felt that I had touched my soul and awakened from a long sleep. I experienced a return to harmony on all levels and a deep peace.

Continuing to use Reiki as a means for inner harmony, I began taking self-development courses to heal my past. This helped me to forgive and move on. Reiki was my constant companion through that period. It still is. Since that first day with Reiki so many opportunities have been given to me, chances to say yes instead of no to life. Life has not always been rosy and all my problems did not cease to exist after Reiki. In fact it seems at some level that the heat was turned up. Reiki continues to help bring things up to heal physically and emotionally. I have been challenged to live my life in the present moment, to be true to myself, honest, and fearless. Fear-less meaning that I have come to realize that what I fear most I bring to myself. Reiki helped me change my belief structure. Feeling the way I did before Reiki became uncomfortable. Fearing shut down my energy; Faith, which is the opposite, opens me up, frees the soul and fans the flame of love in my heart.

Reiki was the beginning of my spiritual journey. There was a time when I thought I had taken that first class only to learn some Reiki techniques that might help heal me, but what actually happened was that Reiki supported me on my return to wholeness of body, mind and spirit. Every step I take with Reiki confirms the truth of this. It is a never-ending process of discovering myself, and indeed, a spiritual journey unlike anything I could ever have imagined. I have heard Grace defined as the outward expression of the inward harmony of the soul. At times I did not even realize that parts of me were not balanced until they were harmonized and I felt different… certainly more alive and filled with grace.

I know without a doubt that if I had not taken that first step with Reiki my life would be very different today. I see parallel lives: on one side “without Reiki” there is a lonely woman in a wheelchair all dried up with no life in her; on the other, “with Reiki”…me as I am. And the two are vastly different. Before Reiki, I would never have quit my job and flown to Europe, much less found myself teaching with the passion of an awakened heart in the UK and throughout Europe. I had been lit from the inside. I now cared not only for myself, I but could see how connected I was to others and how interconnected we all are. I saw and experienced a bigger picture that was beautiful. . . . . .

Inspiring Quote "My Name Is I Am"

I AM

I was regretting the past

and fearing the future.

Suddenly my Lord was speaking:

"My name is I AM"

He paused.

I waited. He continued,

"When you live in the past

with its mistakes and regrets,

it is hard.

I am not there.

My name is not I WAS.

When you live in the future,

with its problems and fears,

it is hard. I am not there.

My name is not I WILL BE.

When you live in this moment

it is not hard.

I am here,

My name is I AM."

Munay-Ki (The Hero's Journey)

Open up to your luminous light!

Munay-Ki
The Hero's Journey
Alberto Villoldo, Ph.D.

The Munay-Ki are the nine great rites of initiation of the medicine way. The word munay means “I love you” or “BE AS THOU ART.” The Munay-Ki are the nine gates that heal us and transform our human energy field into that of homo luminous.The prophecies of the ancient Americas speak about a new human appearing on the planet – one who lives free of fear and resides in his or her transcendent nature. The Munay-Ki are the codes for the new human. They are delivered in the form of energetic transmissions. The ninth rite, the “Creator Rite” was transmitted for the first time in the summer of 2006 at the Holy Mountains in the Andes. The nine initiations of the Munay-Ki have only been available until recently to the high wisdom keepers of the Americas.

Crescent Moon Alert

April 4, 2008: The date was March 8th, less than a month ago. In a remote corner of Kansas, the sun was going down and the deepening twilight beckoned to photographer Doug Zubenel driving through the countryside. Something photogenic, he knew, was about to happen.

He turned his car onto an unfamiliar dirt road and proceeded into the sunset. "The brilliant sun did not allow me to see the cement railings on a bridge over a small creek. The next thing I knew, I had totaled my car!" Zubenel emerged from the wreckage, phoned 911, and while he was waiting for the tow truck to arrive, took the picture:

"It was a beautiful 1-day old crescent moon," says Zubenel. "It looked a lot better than my car!"
This perilous scene is about to repeat itself—three times.

The Spontaneous Healing of Belief with Gregg Braden

Gregg Braden on video discussing information from his newest book, "The Spontaneous Healing of Belief." Worth watching and sharing.

Spring Cleaning - The Lightworker's Way

Oh, what a beautiful day we awoke to this morning. It is actually sunny and warm in the Pacific Northwest! Mt. Rainier is glistening with snow, daffodils are in full bloom, and I decided to do some serious Lightwork today. Armed and dangerous with my advanced taser can, look out world your getting a thorough cleanse!

Gregg Braden and Translations 2008 Newsletter

Just a little information for those who have followed Gregg Braden's work and read his wisely written books. You may enjoy checking out his newsletter.

Quote from Gregg:

"Scientific evidence now reveals that belief affects everything from the healing of our bodies to the atoms of Reality itself! What could be more important than understanding how to use such an awesome power to reverse disease, create peace and abundance and even change Reality itself? In a world where the greatest crises of recorded human history now threaten our survival, the stakes couldn't be higher."

Elephant Paints Self Portrait

Chiang Mai - Elephant Painting (Some good Chi)

This morning I was treated to a wonderful video of an elephant painting. Minutes before that, I noticed a new device a family member had plugged into the computer, and I asked what it was. The reply was, "It's a memory stick." Seconds later, I'm watching this elephant with paintbrush extending from its trunk and with gentleness and ease, the strokes fluidly move over the canvas. Having a memory like an elephant sure does take on a whole new meaning. My friend who is an animal communicator mentioned that perhaps it's not the memory that is important, but perhaps its because the elephant is in NOW time. So, if we were to lose our fascination with trying to retain every bit of memory, or have a device to plug into our computer to assist us in retaining and processing every bit of information, could we also paint like an elephant or Van Gogh and believe there is nothing we cannot accomplish having dropped the fear of losing control and shifting more into our right hemisphere or as they say, "Being in the NOW"? Does the memory stick for adults serve as a child's blanket or favorite toy that gives them the feeling of safety? Or does the memory stick allow us to not have to remember all the bits of information, so we can unplug and free our own internal space? I once read that "Alzeheimers" allows one to be closer to Spirit or in the NOW. All this mind chatter before my cup of Yuban! Oh Yuban, take me away........so I can ban from the YOU and find my true SELF. Oh, I think that is the Palmolive commercial and I just noticed the live or olive with Pal... becomes good friends with self or eat more olives or the "O" represents wholeness found when we pal with self and become good friends as in the (yin/yang, masculine/feminine/right and left hemispheres) truly enjoying each other's company. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this video as much as I did.

9/11 - Prayer for the Heart and Soul of America

Tonight I opened Steve Bhaerman's email and reflected on his words. May the vibration contained within the words of his prayer be felt in the deepest core of your being.

May the power of love and courage be embodied in each of us as we face darkness as beacons of light. May we light the way for others with joy and laughter, the weapons the darkness fears the most. May we gather together locally with the global idea that we are each a precious cell in the body of humanity with a loving gift to bring. May this wildfire of truth burn from the grassroots up, and may it vaporize the structures that no longer serve us. May the new leaders arise -- humble yet bold -- and may the structures emerge to help us create the maximum happiness using the minimum resources. May we understand that heaven is a practice, not a destination, and may we practice heaven until heaven becomes practically real. May we also understand that we choose which game we play in life, and now we must choose the world game as the only alternative to the end of the world game. We cannot know for sure the outcome, but we can know in our heart of hearts that it's the only game worth playing.

May we commemorate the next anniversary of 9/11 as a free people with nothing to fear from our own government, and may that government be a reflection of our highest aspirations for both good and freedom. May we do this for all humanity and for all our relations, and may we celebrate a new convenient truth ... global heartwarming.

Another "Z" Day

This morning I ran across an article on "ZAADZ." Here is a little excerpt from the article.

"When you hear the word 'Zaadz,' what comes to mind? If it's enthusiasm and joy, self-empowerment and changing the world, you're in good company.

Actually, the word zaad (pronounced zahd) is Dutch for 'seed.' When Brian Johnson, Philosopher and CEO of Zaadz first sat down with the idea of joining his two great passions—his interest in spirituality, personal growth, and bettering the world with his passion for entrepreneurship and business—the notion of 'seed' kept coming up.

"Amazing how much potential is in a tiny seed," says Johnson. "That power reminds us of the amazing potential within each of us. We thought the idea of creating a company that inspires and empowers you to bring your 'seed' to actualization would be pretty powerful. So, we created 'Zaadz.'"

And Zaadz, now the world's fastest-growing social networking site for socially and spiritually conscious people, is living up to its name."

X-Coaster Passengers Left Hanging Upside Down

Just after I finished posting my last entry on the "X", I opened to AOL and discovered this picture as a main headline. It was the X-Coaster words that certainly caught my eye.

It looks like this group got caught in the loop of time and are left hanging upside down. This sounds like most humans! Fourth Dimension or Time will keep you stuck in the loop, until you ramp up your energy fields into a higher vibration, and travel into the 5th! The Age of Aquarius is upon us!

(HOT SPRINGS, Ark. (June 10) - A dozen riders on a roller coaster spent half an hour hanging upside down - 150 feet above the ground - after a power outage shut down the attraction.

It took about 30 minutes for the city Fire Department to rescue the riders using a ladder truck Saturday evening, said Aundrea Crary, spokeswoman for the Springs & Crystal Falls amusement park.

Spectators cheered when the riders were brought to the ground from the highest point of a loop on the X-Coaster, but one passenger threw up after reaching safety.

The X-Coaster was one of several rides brought to a halt by the outage that originated somewhere near the park.

"You could tell who got off the (X-Coaster) because their faces were red," said Angela Salter. She was riding the Gauntlet, another coaster, and said park employees worked quickly to free her.

The park resumed normal operations, although the X-Coaster remained closed.)

Freedom - Moving out of Time

"X" Marks the Spot!

This past Tuesday was a very synchronistic day. There were many pictures of the "X" appearing before me, and my friend dropped by to give me a present. It was a large round clock with the hands at 10:10. The whole day seemed to want to get my attention. That evening I stopped by to visit a friend and was relating my day, when all of a sudden this "X" started forming on my car. This has happened one other time on July 4th two years ago. The 4th of July always reminds me it is really Freedom of the Soul we long for. This time there is a bright light in the middle of the "X". I believe it is a message that when we power up our energy and center it through the HEART.......we are able to move our awareness out of time, where true Freedom is felt.

This morning I opened a book entitled, "The Eye of the I" to a page and read, "In the Presence, all sense of time disappears, which is a crucial aspect of peace. Once the pressure of time ceases, it is recognized to have been perhaps one of the primary sources of distress that accompanies the human condition. Until the sensation of time stops, one does not have any possibility of knowing what real freedom or peace feels like."

A Roadmap to Inner Peace

A Roadmap to Inner Peace

(May these symptoms be contagious and feel free to pass it on to others.)

Symptoms of Inner Peace

by Saskia Davis

Nothing like a little humor to add insight into the traits we seek to emulate...
Be on the lookout for symptoms of inner peace. The hearts of a great many have already been expose to inner peace and it is possible that people everywhere could come down with it in epidemic proportions. This could pose a serious threat to what has, up to now, been a fairly stable condition of conflict in the world.

Some signs and symptoms of inner peace:

· A tendency to think and act spontaneously rather than on fears based on past experiences.

· An unmistakable ability to enjoy each moment.

· A loss of interest in judging other people.

· A loss of interest in judging self.

· A loss of interest in interpreting the actions of others.

· A loss of interest in conflict.

· A loss of the ability to worry. (This is a very serious symptom.)

· Frequent, overwhelming episodes of appreciation.

· Contented feelings of connectedness with others and nature.

. Frequent attacks of smiling.

· An increasing tendency to let things happen rather than (try to) make them happen.

· An increased susceptibility to the love extended by others as well as the uncontrollable urge to extend it.

WARNING:
If you have some or all of the above symptoms, please be advised that your condition of inner peace may be so far advanced as to not be curable. If you are exposed to anyone exhibiting any of these symptoms, remain exposed only at your own risk.

Mother's Day Proclamation

Mother's Day began with a woman named Julia Ward Howe, who nursed the wounded during the American Civil War. In 1870 she started a crusade to institute a Mother's Day as a Day for Peace. She said: "Arise all women who have hearts, say firmly: Our sons shall not be taken from us to unlearn all that we have been able to teach them of charity, mercy and patience. "We women of one country will be too tender of those of another country to allow our sons to be trained to injure theirs. Disarm! Disarm! "In the name of womanhood and of humanity; take counsel with each other as the means whereby the great human family can live in peace; promote the alliance of the different nationalities, amicable settlement of international questions, and great and general interests of peace."

Julia Ward Howe Boston 1870

May this original intention for Mother's Day, be brought back into full implementation and the Divine Feminine arise in every man, woman and child on this earth.

Behind Da Vinci's Vitruvian Man Stands A Woman

Sandpoint, ID—Leonardo Da Vinci’s most famous drawing of “The Vitruvian Man” has a woman standing behind him in the circle.

A new analysis of this icon for natural living and holistic healing explains why both sexes are represented. Close inspection shows the woman stepped out of the box of earthly limitation into the cosmic circle depicting Divine unification.

The author of this research is a well known Harvard-trained scientist, Sir Leonard George Horowitz, honored last year by the World Organization for Natural Medicine as a “World Leading Intellectual.” His sixteenth book, LOVE the Real Da Vinci CODE, claims Da Vinci clearly honored women by drawing one behind Vitruvius. Her hands and feet touch the cosmic circle, whereas his remain confined to the earthy square.

This new explanation of Da Vinci’s art features sacred geometry—the circle is divided by nine appendages. A new math-based musical theory important for civilization’s salvation and spiritual evolution is advanced, according to Dr. Horowitz.

The circle represents what Horowitz calls the Perfect Circle of Sound™. This mathematical–musical–matrix was fundamental to Da Vinci’s creative genius. Da Vinci’s mentors, Plato, Pythagoras and Vitruvius linked this design to a musical instrument called the “monochord.” The instrument’s single string was strung in a circle. It played nine sacred notes with a movable bridge.

“That’s why Da Vinci drew nine human projections juxtaposed with the circle,” Dr. Horowitz explains. “This Perfect Circle of Sound™ creates everything in the universe according to advancing physics, mathematics, and music theory. Everything is built on sacred spiraling geometric forms like the galaxies that spin to obey laws of physics and mathematics. This art offers direction for understanding the universe and people’s place in it. Playing this music cultivates Divine-human communion. Research shows the tones are alsofundamental to natural healing.”

Upon close examination Vitruvius appears to be angry, probably because he’s “stuck in the box.” His genitals are fixed at the center of the square that analysts equate to the earth. At the center of the circle is the female reproductive organ—the umbilicus.

“Da Vinci mastered mathematics and music theory,” Dr. Horowitz concludes. “He drew his observations from water investigations. We have proof that nature crystallizes from sound on water using spiraling sacred geometry.”

Molecules and body chemicals, for example, operate according to mathematical-musical laws, akin to following the path of least resistance in an energy grid or Divine plan. That plan, or law, is this reverberating Perfect Circle of Sound™ impacting water and precipitating everything in a quantum field.

A feature length documentary called The LOVE CODE (www.thelovecodemovie.com) is being released this week along with Dr. Horowitz's new book. (Tetrahedron Publishing Group;888-508-4787) Six musical albums featuring these sounds will be available to music stores by mid-March.
