Reiki Art – Energy

Energy healing you see and feel…

It is possible. We are on our way. We’ve been here a long time and the enchantment of our lives calls to us every moment.

Listen, seek your own song, your own music, find your laughing place and celebrate–dance to the music. Any way is okay. Any old… any new way.

Many blessings.

Intentions: inspiration, grace, joy, and blessings via Reiki and Crystalline Consciousness Technique (CCT).

Today, I went to one of Ener-g’s squidoo lenses in search of a phrase she used about donations. I had received a free money reiki energy healing the night before from Amy Flynn, which I felt in my body and which was so relaxing that I had to lie back in my lounger.

I saw that Ener-g had changed that lens, and before I knew it, I was following along.

I came to the photo of her healing hands and felt the energy coming off it. I stated an intention silently as I connected to something that had at times felt like I had a pinched nerve and had a wooden crutch under my armpit on my left side.

I thought that I’d like to receive more help with that. As I gazed at the photo, I felt that my arm was in a sling and saw a hazy picture of it in my mind’s eye. I also heard, “now move it to the right side.”

I started to shift it then thought–it’s a release of some kind.

“Expelliarmus! Magnetize this energy out!”

The left pinched area felt a bit lighter.

I saw in my mind a sling and then noticed that the sling held my right side as well as though by pulling up on points on the top of my body midway between my neck and shoulder.

The feeling in me was that whatever was there being pulled up was much lighter than on the left.

I recognized the visual of the sling as the kind that a stork carries a new baby in. Since I’m not pregnant and am not planning to be, I knew it was symbolic, a metaphor for giving birth to something. But what?

I wondered, Is it this story, fable, adventure? Or is it something else? The rebirth of A Place4Us?

If you who are reading take the metaphor of APlace4Us and allow it to enlarge in your imagination, what happens? What is APlace4Us for you? Where is it? And is it one location, many, the earth?

Breathe. Grow. Blossom.

yellwresonantseed1Fascinating. I remembered using a fun link some time ago to give myself a Mayan Calendar-based mythic signature or mythos archetype. I’m a Yellow Resonant Seed, and I think the glyph for that on the left looks kind of like a person’s face and like a boat. Ohh, we’re on a journey.

I returned to the link today for some strange reason associated with writing up presentations for schools, conferences, libraries and the like as a writer, artist, dancer and professional weaver of yarns. It is also associated in my intensely jammed full and creative mind with exploring the links between fantasy and science or everyday life options. If you do this like I do, you read books like Life Colors by Pamala Oslie and Energy Medicine by Donna Eden, while remaining a fan of Chris Crutcher, Madeleine L’Engle, Susan Cooper, Kate DiCamillo, Alice Hoffman, Marion Zimmer Bradley, Anne McCaffrey and others. You probably also love oracle decks like Brian Froud‘s funky fairy oracle, or the Animal Medicine cards. I hope to receive the Hawaiian deck that contains red-footed booby birds because I love mystic flora and fauna as much as real ones, if you get my drift. And no, I’m not lost in a snow drift although a friend once fell into one as a child and was buried up to his neck. We got him out, though. (this is called going off on a tangent, but it might also be a road less travelled.)

But coming back online here with this, in my exploring I came to the words, “Inspiration Channel Attunement,” and thought, “What? What’s that?” I found those words together on another link with commas between them.

Now, I feel I’m definitely here to inspire as I continue to shift from a workaholic 9-5 jobber to something else, but what caught my attention was that this came in meaningwise to me as though I could give this kind of attunement or activation. Energy practitioners often pass on knowledge to students in this way. I suppose it’s similar to being a mind-melder, ballet teacher, or urban shaman. You absorb, glean, and reverberate in all parts of yourself with what you’re studying and becoming, and your teacher helps you attune, acclimate and assimilate.

For me, “channel” has two meanings, however. I channel energy and ideas, but I also am on a channel or frequency, like a T.V. station, and it is one that behaves as a radio transmission tower. It emits musical theater songs and dance, and tunes of joy and love, plus fairytales and storytelling (using metaphors, archetypes, etc.) bird sounds and waves of bliss.

It’s fun to discover analogies about oneself and see what ancient cultures thought. But I’d like to engage some of you right now both energetically and creatively.

What could I do for you in an Inspiration Channel Attunement, or as an Inspiration Channel for your own form of wavespell? (which sounds an awful lot like my urban fantasy novel, Jones, that I’d like Alex Etel to play the lead in before he’s past the age for it, along with someone yummy and ageless for the extraordinary being, L).

Those of you who resonate with attunements, what kind of Attunement would an Inspiration Channel Attunement be for you? Of course I thought Reiki right off the bat, and I am a Usui Reiki master teacher, who loves Fairy Nature Realms Reiki at the moment, of which I am also a master and teacher, but there are other kinds of Reiki and energies besides these.

aug11mayacalendar1What comes to you about this? And if you’d like more links to have your own kind of fun with this “game,” I’ve dropped some in below. I can’t speak for them as I have not yet visited them. There seems to be a lot to know about dreamspells and the Mayan point of view on time. I hope to visit some of these links myself little by little as I feel “called.”

Happy Galactic travels, odysseys, and dreamtime quests!

enchantment of everyday life small opt

Sometimes you need to stay and focus awhile on one image or one sound or one aspect of nature to receive its gifts

Numero Uno. Relaxation – It’s the gateway to awareness. Ahhhh.

Number Two. You can get that here free, but it usually feels better to receive it through physical contact. That means massage, Reiki, healing touch, breathwork, energy work like CCT – Crystalline Consciousness Technique, hugging your children (if you have them), and giving members of your family and your good friends opportunities to receive sessions that offer professional touch as gifts.

Look for deals in the Toledo area HERE

Please leave comments so others will know this is the place to BE, explore, learn and more–virtually Free.

Are you one of those people who only go for a massage once a year?

Are you too busy to go for a massage because you have to undress and then worry about messy oils in your hair? Too much hassle?

We have solutions for you:

I intend serenity, stillpoint, ease, openness, and flow or something similar that comes to you from your heart and intuitive sense

  • Follow one of the links  on this site and enjoy a variety of relaxing forms from art and music to Reiki, sound healing and meditation
  • Set up a lunch hour session of energy realignment from a CCT/Reiki practitioner and breeze in and out without having to undress, re-dress, or worry about messy oils (in northwest Ohio, click here)
  • Look at your life differently. Perhaps this will help you: Author G.K. Chesterton once said, “In everything that yields gracefully, there must be resistance. Bows are beautiful when they bend only because they seek to remain rigid. Rigidity that slightly yields is all the beauty of the earth. Everything seeks to grow straight, and happily nothing succeeds in so growing. Try to grow straight and life will bend you.”

Let us and others know what worked for you so we can pass along the good vibes, or click on the donate button to give us an energetic thank you for the service we provided.

In northwest Ohio, set up an appointment with a CCT or Reiki or Faerie Realms Reiki practitioner at Kneading Time Holistic Therapy. Need a name to mention? Try Melanie.

What is a Staycation? Literally what it says: you stay around or in your locale for your vacation. A Spa Vacation Day or Weekend is a bit different.

It can be an adventure that starts here–online–as you gather information about what you want to experience that’s restorative or says spa and vacation to you (and members of your family if they or someone else is included).

Here are some ideas:

Pampering

Delicious food: depending where you are–Souen in New York City;
                Poco Piatti in Perrysburg or Toledo; Nagoya Japanese Steak House

Spa products

Being on a beach, near water, or in nature: Wildwood Preserve in Toledo, Wintergarden St. John’s Woods in Bowling Green, Ohio; Nyack State Park, Rockland State Park or Central Park in New York

Exploring new places like a local bookstore or magical shop like The Happy Badger Trading Portal in Bowling Green, Ohio or East/West Books in New York City, or discovering little nook art galleries like Spectrum in the Toledo Botanical Gardens, the latest show at the Toledo Museum of Art, or something else equally cool and inspiring and maybe inside on hot summer days (such as after strolling through the Crosby Arts Festival). Smelling the roses is a fine way to go.

Something exotic

Going shopping

Seeing a Broadway show or something similar

Visits to local haunts, favorite or new: Try the 577 Foundation in Perrysburg for community gardens and an awesome biodome. There’s also a children’s garden that the fairies adore!

 

Need directions?

Make your list, and then you invent and intend. You can even try the lens “Give Yourself That Million Dollar Treatment” and ask for a spa vacation. See where it takes you–mentally, physically, energetically, spiritually.

If you’re into spending a little bit on yourself because you’re that worthwhile, you might start by having breakfast at a new little nook that seems exotic. Maybe that’s a Paneras, or Cafe Marie’s, or if you’re in Bowling Green, Ohio, Call of the Canyon.

Or maybe you’ll rise at dawn, pack up your camping gear and head for your backyard or that campground a few miles away that you always intended to visit but never have. Or maybe today’s a visit to the Butterfly House to inspire that butterfly or fairy garden you’ve been meaning to create.

You could literally give yourself a session in a spa or with a practitioner who you know brings heaven on earth, or you could travel to your bathroom, local health food store, or a beauty products haven and pick up some aromatherapy products–candles, bath beads, whatever catches your eye–and, you could also visit your local flower farm or florist or your own garden and use what you have: rose petals, any fragrant flower for a bouquet (or stay outside on your lounger and inhale, relax, visualize, and meditate). 

What totally awesome Sex in the City kind of drink comes to mind? Get the ingredients and make one. Or better yet, watch the movie and get re-inspired. Have a Girls’ Night Out. You might even add some get happy entertainment like a fairy or angel reading.

You can also play some inspiring music. Some of my favs include: Enya, Rob Thomas, Yanni, musicals like Hair Spray or Mary Poppins, and classical music like anything Mozart.

I’m listening to Josh Groban as I write this–remembering the rain and the train of thought that says, “After the Rain” Christopher Wheeldon choreography and poetry like Rumi, a night on the town, and later, some moon, cloud or star-gazing.

Hopefully this will get you started and maybe some tunes or books (curling up with a great book is vacation material to me).

Whatever you do, think “enchanted” and you’ll find something magical comes your way, for sure. Don’t forget after your power nap, to open your eyes and ears and heart to receive it!
