Reiki healing for 16 year old Cat Not Using Litter Box

Reiki Furbabies — Mon, 06 Sep 2010 12:30:11 +0000

We received this email from a new client: Mittens has been doing her business outside the litter box for the past approximately 2 months. She has been to the vet and she is ok. She does not seem to have any illness that we can detect. Thank God the litter box is in the garage. [...]

How Reiki Treatment Helps Doctors

Pamela Miles — Sun, 05 Sep 2010 13:57:24 +0000

The space between the science and the patient can be formidable in today’s medicine. It’s the physician’s job to bridge that gap, but knowing how to fix a problem and engaging the person as an ally in her own health and well-being involve very different skills. Medical fixing requires a take-charge approach, especially in surgery or [...]

Introducing Reiki Fur Babies’ Intern!

We love this young lady!! We had never even considered having an intern. Until Lauren wrote us this heartfelt letter that I was so touched with. During the interview, Candy let her ask us questions for an hour! She is a great fit. Colette Baron Reid told me that I would be training someone, well, [...]

Reiki and Material Goods

Lynda Lippin — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 15:15:00 +0000

I find it interesting that so many people assume that just because a person is more spiritual or healing that she must have an aversion to material goods, such as Balenciaga or Prada handbags, Manolo Blahnik shoes, and fine dining. Now I am a Reiki teacher, a student of the Universe and Law of Attraction, and a believer in miracles. And guess what? I love designer handbags, clothing, and shoes. One of my repeat guests and now a dear friend gave me a pair of Norma Kamali cat's eye sunglasses as a gift and I am so excited! A love of the finer things in life and spirituality are not mutually exclusive.

Reiki Healing for 8 mo old Pit Bull with Allergies

Reiki Furbabies — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 12:11:57 +0000

Hi ladies, I have an 8 month old pit bull puppy that has been suffering from allergies since he was 3 months old. I’ve always had a suspicion that something more was going on, but when vets see his skin, they automatically say “allergies” and give me steroids, or benadryl. I want to have a [...]

Reiki for Parrot that Picks

Reiki Furbabies — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 12:30:51 +0000

Savannah is definitely one of our regulars. I’ve lost count now on how many sessions she has gotten. But Mom has her getting them twice a month. Sometimes Savannah will talk about what’s going on at home, her new “brother”. But this time she mentioned the angels! I think that is very cool. Since we [...]

Transitions and Connections

Alice Langholt — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 13:15:00 +0000

I'd like to begin by thanking all of you for reading, and especially those who posted supportive and sympathetic comments regarding my mother-in-law's battle with cancer. Your words were comforting and I appreciate all of you for taking the time to offer love and caring.

My mother-in-law, Lillian Langholt, passed last Saturday, August 21. She died at home, with family nearby. My mom, dad, husband, and children were at her side constantly for her last three days while she struggled with the process. We gave her love, soothing words, and Reiki as much as we could. Hospice was brought in to offer additional support. It was very hard to tell the kids that Nana was going to die. We held each other and cried after we told them. When she passed, it was somewhat of a relief because she was not actively struggling anymore. The funeral and the rest of the week happened quickly, but felt like time was moving slowly also. I guess that is the nature of such things.

My kids are doing well. They are grieving in their own ways. My oldest has been a little short-tempered lately. My son had been chewing the inside of his lip and it got swollen and infected. I took him to the dentist. He also cried in his sleep one night and I held him in my bed, giving Reiki to help him. He didn't remember it in the morning. My youngest daughter had some potty issues - some accidents that were uncharacteristic of her. We understand. We know it's a process that will take time to heal.

One thing that I know has been most powerful from the experience is that my kids will always know the value of what you do for family. No matter how little or much my mother-in-law needed us, we were there for her. There were no questions. We were there. Every day, as long as she needed, until it was round-the-clock and even then. We were there. My kids didn't want to leave her side, even when she couldn't acknowledge their presence for more than a few seconds at a time. They saw, lived, and understood that this is how a family cares for each other. I am moved and grateful for the opportunity to instill this value through our actions.

There is yet much to do in terms of logistical follow-up that will take probably close to a year. The house, all the stuff in it, leftover bills and accounts, paperwork. Many projects await, and we are dedicating a portion of each day to starting to work on it.

We are also grateful that Evan had this time to be able to devote to caring for his mom, as I mentioned in previous posts. Perhaps now he will be in the right alignment for the perfect job and him to connect. Divine timing. He will never have the guilt that would have come from needing to work, not having vacation time, while his mom needed him. He was there. It's a blessing.

Interesting was that the night before her funeral, I was online and a friend who I hadn't talked to in a while suddenly intiated a chat with me to tell me that she was in labor. I wished her blessings on her birth experience (she had a healthy and beautiful baby boy later that evening), and was truly thankful that the perfect timing of her chat was there to remind me that life begins anew, even as one life is over.

And due to the series of events this past week, I've had the opportunity to do some thinking about life, death and transition. I've come to some conclusions that I would like to share. As always, it's a work in progress, as life is a journey of learning. This is where my thoughts have landed me:

The soul is a part of Source - we are ONE - our soul is our God aspect. It is housed in the body so we can experience life, but not separate - ever -from Source.

The feeling of being separate is an illusion so we can experience life in physical form. It's a gift.

Meditative practices tune us into the awareness of ourselves as One, but we have to be grounded also, so we can experience life in this body we are gifted with as long as we can.

Physical sensations are not available to the spiritual aspect of ourselves. This is the gift of life:
to feel
to experience
to sense,taste, touch, love,
relate to others.

Embrace this gift and you show appreciation for it.
live, learn, love
this is the meaning of life (in my humble opinion.)

So LIVE. Embrace the gift of life in this physical form. Death is a separation from the physical form. It is not the end, but it is a separation from the chance to live in this physical world. One can live a balanced life by experiencing and appreciating the beauty of life we feel through our earth-bound five senses, and also sensing and appreciating our Source-selves through meditative practices that help us renew our awareness of this connection. For me, Reiki does this and is even more profoundly meaningful for me because it allows me to help others feel it too, and I can facilitate their opportunity to receive healing energy when they are receptive.

Life ends, life begins, God bless life. Amen.

Reiki Or Techy?

Chikara-Reiki-Do — Sun, 29 Aug 2010 00:13:23 +0000

Good mornin' everyone... No wonder everyone felt quiet dispair last week...this week has turned into 'techy hell'...ha ha ha! Nothing has been straightforward or uncomplicated. So, if you have also had gadgets or digital stuff that won't do what it says on the tin, then do be patient...you are not the only one pulling your hair out...ha ha ha! I shall swiftly move on to do a couple of short questions before the computer plays up again :-( The question... Q...Is reiki helpful in achieving calm in Parkinsons patients? A...YES...But as with any therapy, in truth, you have to try it and see. What works for one person may not work for another. With Parkinson's disease you get...
