Not All Pagans Practice The Same

It's amazing to me that R and I are so in sync even though our pagan paths are very different they perfectly parallel in so many instances... In times of darkness and difficulty I immediately reach for my 'reiki toolbox' and start serious manifestation and intention setting. Tonight I was explaining some simple concepts and he just 100% accepted and agreed that he does pretty much the exact same thing without labeling it ... And then we talked next steps and fine tune planning... He gets me. I get him. So blessed to have this man walking this path with me. In good times. In bad times. We've got this. Together. 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

Fake Lightworkers/Reiki Practioners?

BEWARE... SOAPBOX AHEAD: Whenever I find myself on a witchy site where they regularly hurl insults insinuating all reiki masters are "fluffy bunny lightworkers," I leave... Not because my ego is frail 🤣 but because they're utterly clueless about what they're talking about... and if they're wrong about reiki practioners/masters, they're probably clueless about most things. Reading a book on the subject doesn't make a lightworker... or even break the surface on what a Master Practitioner is.. or does. There is some scary shit in the darkness and being a reiki master means opening myself to diving deep into the seven layers of one's aura and finding the barbs, the damage, the holes in their energy fields... facing the dark energies that created that damage and removing them... but only with that person's consent. I'm never sadder than when someone hires me to find their damage and report back what I've found only to have them tell me... "I'm not ready to release that trauma, that demon, that chaos. Leave it for now." Meanwhile, that damager is living rent free in their energy field and literally sucking the life out of them, causing them illnesses that may eventually kill them. So if you need a Healer... find a good one ... don't accept a fake.

Reiki and Animals

I got to put all my healing to the test again as Karma one of my Feral Four (4 week kittens dumped in front of my house) has a huge abcess of his backside. He's apparently been hiding it for days and when it ruptured I thought he was bleeding out! it was bad but thankfully the vet is only about seven minutes away!!! and I gave him reiki all the way there! The doctor sedated him and discovered one of his anal sacs had completely ruptured. The doctor seemed convinced that he'd have been in serious trouble if I had waited even an hour longer. **The hard part will be keeping him away from his siblings while he heals ... the vet said it could be one to two weeks because she kept the incision she made open so it would drain. I know... the gross factor is killing me too... but he is my baby. ***yes, Karma will be getting reiki several times a day in addition to his antibiotics KARMA UPDATE: My little man is home... completely bleary eyed and stumble-y... so for his own safety he is in a quiet, dark, isolated room tonight. **Thank you all who kept ma and Karma in your thoughts today!! Made me feel a little less alone while dealing with this latest drama.

What's Going On with My Health

I haven't said too much about my difficulties lately. .. accept to say that my symptoms have made a definite diagnosis possible. Until now. Yay I have an official disease! My doctor finally takes my symptoms seriously. ... I'm sure all my chronically I'll friends can appreciate my happy level over this... even though I've been assured it's Psoriatic Arthritis. **Sadly, a bit late as my disease has progressed, but not beyond hope... **which means that against all I've been taught by my parents since birth...to avoid Western Medicine at all cost...no longer works and I am on (serious) medication that has (serious side effects.) ... sucks ... however, tangent ...despite what many of my more 'out there' friends (and I use that phrasing because these are my people, I have been one of the outer fringe my whole life and I love that we'reout here together) I have not "caved to fear" or "stopped believing in my own power to heal".. I prefer to think I am approaching a serious issue from all angles... ahem, back to what I was saying I'm still mostly raw vegan, I'm still meditating, I'm still practicing reiki, lighting candles, walking circles, and surrounding myself with healing crystals, I yoga, sungaze, and practice grounding... *Heartbrokenly, I'm not seeing clients until my meds and new lifestyle even out. it may be thirty days .. it may be longer. I'll contact my regular tarot and reiki receivers individually. **Sadly, I am not dancing on a regular schedule because my feet are still my biggest issue, but am hopeful that if the weather breaks I will be. I just can't risk tearing a foot tendon ... **Double sadness... I am not writing... brain fog is a real thing. I am hoping that over time the meds relieve this most stubborn symptom. ***I guess what it all boils down to... it has been a long hard lonely winter... and for all of you sharing posts that make me smile, or for sharing something about yourself that I didn't know, or posted medical and political updates.. Thank You. (I've kept my comment sections private for awhile but feel free to comment and I will see them. Not sure when or if I will turn them back on as most of what I've been going through has been emotional struggle)

Personal Challenges

Most of you know I've taken a long sabbatical as a Reiki Master/Life Coach/Yogini since I was struck down by a mystery illness that left me nearly bedridden for most of a year. I felt it was not only destroying my body but my ability to heal others and teach... since I couldn't even heal myself. Talk about feeling like a failure! So, I closed my doors... But what was really happening? Now, in hindsight since fighting the battle and winning, Im stronger mentally, physically, and spiritually than I ever was before. I was/am still healing deep spiritual wounds that caused internal illness that was finally diagnosed as Psoriatic Arthritis. I would have never faced the mental, emotional, and physical traumas that I allowed to manifest in my refusal to face the shit I'd turned my back on , ran from, and buried. Without the manifestation of serious illness, I wouldn't have become as strong as I currently am...I would never become as strong as I am yet to become. Aside from tarot reading at Ohio Rennaisance Festval and reiki for some longstanding clients who have accepted and understood my struggles and believed in me anyway, I'm not quite ready to again don the Healer Cloak professionally but looking over the last few years, I know I never really ever took it off :) Thank you dear friends who have continued to come to my door... 🙌 "....people do not reali(z)e how much self and internal training a healer has to go through to become an effective healer. And most of the time the training becomes part of the lifestyle of the healer, because the healer understands what it takes to become whole on the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual levels.

Every Single Day

I am a Reiki Practitioner every day ... don't ever question my faith ... I have witnessed more miracles in this lifetime than a person may have a right to but I am sacredly thankful for each and every one ... and sometimes the only thing standing between me and the dark, the despair, the overpowering... is the flickering flame of my prayer candle and my faith the intention will hold back all evil.

Reiki Crystal Power Grids

Ive been creating personal reiki crystal power grids since I was first attuned to and became a reiki master. Typically, fourteen crystals are used but I've used as many as fidty-six! I'm an overachiever lol Once charged with Reiki energy they will continuously send Reiki in the direction its been directed to go. Its a great option for sending healing energy and/or protection to myself and others... even long distance. There have even been World Healing Grids created by myself and others as part of a joint effort! I'll be teaching a class in January for anyone interested in learning (who has already completed a beginner session from either myself or others as long as you have a certification of completion!
