Reiki - Halifax and Dartmouth

Hello and Greetings to all.

I have received my Reiki 1 this year and will probably not be able to afford my second level until next year or so I believe...

I am looking for feedback from any individuals as to their experiences with reiki. I am interested in any info surrounding self sessions or sessions on other people, pets, plants, food, etc.

Much love to all and hope this finds those it is meant to find.

CountDown is Seriously On Now...

Okay, as I said something last time there was an American election I am briefly going to state that I hope that these Elections go the way that they should and there is new leadership established, not the same old thing as usual.

Second, I hope most sincerly that with all of the "protection" that the states offers to their people and overseas, that regardless of whom is voted in, that there is sufficient protection around the president at all times.

Get out there and vote smart Ladies and Gentlemen!!

If you have something negative to say about this brief blog posting then I really wouldn't bother messaging me about it as I just ignored the nasty comments last time. However if you have anything intelligent to add one way or another I will post the comment.

Much love, get out there and vote ladies and gentlemen!!

Follow-up from Perez's Site...Obama Pin


Hello again all.

I saw this pin and became very disgusted with who ever created it, made it, and wore it...if it was a joke pin that was digitally made then I apologize, however if this was a serious pin then I am ashamed of those who wore it and can only be thankful that you are an American and not a Canadian.

Were it a Canadian that wore it, I would have to say that clearly anyone who has a clue (which I thought most canadians had at least a bit of a clue) and not completely ignorant, that this was a horrible thing to participate it.

As soon as I saw the pin I was instantly fed up. AND to top it off...I certainly hope that McCain has enough sense to condemn those that wore it...but where it was in texas at some rally...I highly doubt it would be openly condemned for the trash it is.

LET us hope that Canadians are more forward thinking.

The next issue

Well...hello all. I've just encountered a let down of sorts. I did not get the job that I had applied for...the kicker of it is...I lost to someone with wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy more experience than myself in that particular job as that person is the top in that field and is retiring within a year or two...it just boggles my mind that everytime I lose a job competition, it's that I was one away from getting it, but someone wayyyyyyyyy more skilled than me WHOOOPED My BUTT in the interview...I can't even be cranky about that. LOL. That's the part that gets me..I am not losing in incapable or silly people, but to veryyy knowledgeable and informative and on top of their game people.

I can't even imagine how cranky I would be right now if someone worse than me had gotten the position, and we all have been in that situation at one time or another...well it has only happened once to me that someone less capable got the job and it is my plan in life that this should never happen again. I mean it's bad enough that someone that's good beat me, but someone that isn't would make me lose my mind. :P

In terms of Reiki the sessions have been going well. I try to incorporate some level of reiki into my life everyday. Either a quick self session during my lunch break, or soothing away the headaches when you hear you have been passed over for a job by someone more qualified....ya know. :P That sorta thing.

I am planning on doing a self session today as I believe that I am getting sick. I hate getting sick...and I am a big baby when it happens so if i get stuck at home sick expect a couple of posts on here for the same day. ;)

So *sigh* I did not get that position, and I wish I had of, but there are a couple more positions to be posted yet so just hold your breath and maybe in another month or so I will be here saying YAY about another job...:P Meh...We will see. ;)

Anyways I guess this is it...I wish I could go and take my reiki level 2 on the 22nd of this month, but I just can't swing the money right now for it...reiki will be available to you when it is time to take level 2...that's all I get when I meditate on it...the money will come when it's time...hmmm...A good theory but that's just a way to say when you work your butt off for a pay raise you won't get it...Giggle...no that's my bitterness talking. :P

I absolutely believe when I am ready then the opportunity will be there...obviously I am not ready yet.

Much love to all.

Reiki this week...

This week has been a challenging week.

First off my cousin passed away, she will be missed, but I am glad she is no longer in pain. My thoughts are with her.
Then the next day another family member passed away from the same side of the family. It has been a difficult week for many.

I have been sending out reiki to individuals as able, and I hope that it has been helping them...but that's it exactly, all I can do is hope where I am not at home.

I had to take Tuesday off, I just couldn't make it through I was so tired from all the stuff going on with my family, plus I was on the tail end of a cold/flu thing.

So I spent Tuesday and Wednesday sleeping, and then meditating and going through 2 different guided meditations. One is a guided meditation for Reiki that I have on CD that I enjoy thoroughly each and every time that I do it, and the other is on youtube "REIKI RACHEL" has some really relaxing exercises, certainly worth looking into, as I personally enjoy these very much. I find her very soothing.

After Tuesday I have made it successfully through the week, but it has been a long and tiring week for the family. I will continue sending out reiki to those in my family that require it, and someone still requires it because it is still flowing.

God bless them all in their time of need. My thoughts are with my family.

However as a result of my Tuesday recharging day, I have made it through this week far more successfully than I would have hoped. I achieved quite a bit this week considering I was not at work Tuesday at all. And I thank my employers for their understanding of my situation. I am lucky to have bosses like them, as you know many bosses don't see the need for time off outside of "immediate family" for a death, but thankfully mine do and understand the pressures that this places on my family. I mostly needed the time off to recoup. There were phone calls constant for 2 or 3 days, and being a scorpio with a life path 2, and rising sign of cancer I tend to take on other people's troubles. Reiki has been an excellent source of helping me cope with this part of my mentality, and to help me to let go of things that are not mine to worry about. It is taking me a great deal of time to deal with letting go of other's responsibilities, but I am trying and eventually I will be where I am supposed to be.

I am currently working on divining my spirit guide's name as I had tried meditating and visual exercises, which I am continuing to do, but it is slow going, at least I am receiving calm and peace during these meditation sessions. :)

Nas Concert and Recent Developments

Hello all. So last night was the Nas concert and BOYS was it good!! WHOO!! I had a blast. ;)

On an unrelated note the reiki has been flowing fairly strongly during my recent self sessions, and other sessions. Also, I smudged my apartment the other day...and I also bought a new pendulum and am currently working on becoming familiar with it.

Not much else...too tired. Talk to you all again soon. :)

Still going

It's as I suspected. My sisters were too sensitive to receive, or where not in the right frame of mind...I am alright with that...all I can do is keep trying to do reiki. If people are not interested then they are not interested but I am going to keep practising...it is just a mentality I believe...although I am 100% that I need to be doing MUCH more meditation then I have been up to this point. I mean I am doing daily sessions on myself, plants and the pets, but working up to people is truly my goal...and the people I have done it on so far do not understand...I need to do a full session on someone...I will need to think about this...for you cannot really learn more until I begin doing full sessions...perhaps I should just continue on myself..people will ask me if they want a session correct??

Anyway, all in all I had a good weekend but did not exercise the reiki ability as I should have done, but when you are running around shopping and hanging out with family all weekend there is not a lot of time if they do not wish to have session done. :)

On a go-forward note...time to get my butt moving on this. :)

2 weeks after attunement continued...

Hello all.

So not a lot has changed since the last post...

I have given both my fiance and my cat and all the plants at work reiki sessions and so far they are all benefiting from the experience, or at least they seem to be.

I am still experiencing frustrations that I am not in possession of a reiki bed...it makes me sad that I cannot do a full session on anyone due to my comfort. If I could blot out my discomfort then I could go through an entire session, or if someone had a high enough table that I could lay them out on that bad boy then it would be good...but right now as things stand..... I can make it through roughly a 30 minute session on people, my cat only does it for 10 - 15 minutes, but she is losing weight, looking healthier and not attacking me when she is in a playful mood anymore...now she just does her running away and then running back, and jumping when I move...it's cute and wayyyy less painful than when she was getting me before. :P YAY for Reiki...it is mellowing my baby out.

Also, my anger issues....? AHAHA. They are lessening...I do not feel anger anymore..sure I get worked up, but I make myself sick if I fight with people or get too upset about any one thing...so surely it is best to ignore the stupid stuff because really life is too short to fight with people about dumb stuff.

I am not even as argumentative as I was...sure I am still me :P and I'm going to let my opinion be known...but I am not going to go and freak out at someone...I can logically explain it to someone, and if they don't agree then that's fine...Hey...Maybe they are even right??? *Note to self* - doubtful that I would be wrong. Ahahha. *Just teasing, don't be getting worked up out there people. :P * (You know who you are. :P)

This weekend I am going to be getting together with my sisters and my mom to have a "girl's weekend". It should be really nice...here's to hoping. (my sisters and I tend to disagree quite a lot...it's not something i can control, but this will be the first gathering since my attunement, so i am hoping that I can just ZONE people out when I disagree, because even though I feel changed from my reiki 1, my sisters are not changed and also enjoy confrontation... *It's in our blood.* :P

Anyways, that's all I have for now...wish me luck. I am thinking of giving my sisters and mom a reiki session, or at least the ones that can handle it. :P My sister is VERY sensitive to the energy. :)

The 2nd week following the attunement...

Okay so arguing over things is no longer something that I can keep up for any amount of time. I used to argue a lot...however this is definitely something that I no longer have any interest in. I am more than willing to discuss something with someone, or talk things out, but I no longer have that nervous tension so backed up that when I argue with someone I snap and it becomes escalated. I can't do that anymore and I am really glad also that I can't.

I do not like arguing with people and in my family not that we argue a lot...we are actually doing alright at the moment, but I no longer feel the need to correct "ignorance" issues. I mean I do, but I state my point of view, that's it and then if the other person does not care to listen then that is absolutely their choice and I have no desire to force my opinion on anyone else...

If you know me personally at all, you will know that I used to be down to argue about anything. I was not understanding other people's reasons for not understanding my point of view and I consider that more when I am talking about any topics, but especially sensitive topics with peers or anyone.

I have to say that I am feeling more proud of myself now... I do not feel as self concious as I used to, I still have a great deal of nervous tension, but I am hoping that as time progresses I will have this with me less and less. *That is my hope anyway.*

My cat practically begged for a session this weekend. :P She crawled all over me, and I knew what she was looking for, so we cuddled up in our chair and away I went. I think my cat and I need to come to an understanding though that she does not HAVE to maul and kiss mommy all the time while we have the session. :P She can just relax and enjoy it, which she does, but she begins by mauling and that is not necessary. I know she enjoys it and appreciates it. So far she has been my most successful recipient by far, but at the same time I am not able to practise as long because it hurts me to lean over someone.

I WOULD LOVE to get myself a reiki bed. Just a plain one for a nice relaxing session. This is definitely not something that is going to be soon in my path as I have other things that I am needing, but most definitely will be looking into this...OH and if someone needs to get rid of theirs they could always let me know. (If you are moving or something like that...)

My teacher says if you put out the good intention that there will be some sort of positive return from that, so even if you know where I can get a nice bed within the HRM area for cheap...???

Thank you all for listening to my ramblings. Much Love. ;)

Day 4 Since Attunement... :)

Ok...So I am really tired today but that is because I didn't do my session this morning like I like to do...However... what I have to mention is that I have plants at my work and I have been giving them reiki on my breaks, lunches or when I first come in and anyways, I have a spider plant that was nothing and now he is beautiful..

He was literally only a little transplant of a much larger plant, and I didn't think he'd even be able to grow any he was so small...but he is BBIG and BEAUTIFUL now. Well rather he has like 6 offshots now whereas he was only 1 before.

My next task is to Reiki a cactus we have a work (different kind) that is half dead from where we had him sitting, but I am looking forward to seeing what kind of a difference I can make on him.

Our other plant at work is HUGE. I mean he was large before, but since starting to REIKI him what a difference.
My cat loves the reiki but still keeps the sessions short but she comes back when she wants to. My fiance on the other hand would have an all day session if I could do it...

One thing is for certain...if I am going to begin giving sessions to people then I need to get a bed for it, because I did the session with my fiance just laying down on our bed and it is Wayyyyy too low for me to be doing that. (need the higher table) (DEFInITELY)

Anyways, that's all for now...just some quick observations, but I am loving it, practising often, and hope to move on to my test group soon. (You know, the volunteered friends and family who have inquired..)

Much love to all. Have a wonderful night.

Day Two since attunement....

Wonderful. Really. I can't even believe it.

I am sitting here in my chair at work, a couple minutes prior to when I have to start work....

TIRED as you can possibly imagine as it was too hot and stuffy for me to sleep comfortably last night...but still here I am, and after a couple of energy rising exercises I feel great. :) I know that I am still tired, but I am very comfortable, and the tiredness kind of blends in with the energy I now feel flowing through me that is much more noticeable than I once felt it to be. :)

The energy flows across the back of my shoulders as I have thought that this is an area that requires energy to help in getting rid of the garbage there. As a life path 2 I kind of seem to be able to soothe people just by listening, however I also pick up a lot of their garbage...the positive thing being of course that I can now protect myself from this a little bit...so as I sit here, every once in a while I think about the energy and think about my shoulders/back and sure enough the chills will flow across my back and with each sweep it feels just a little bit looser.

On a related note, I had my first mini session yesterday with someone...This was only 30-45 minutes and I felt that he could have certainly benefited from more, but he was loosey-goosey when he finally got up.

During the session he fell almost asleep he was so relaxed and I am thinking that I will begin shopping around for the right music to use during a session. I have an idea what I want as I had a dream I was talking to someone and they were telling me which would be the right music to use, and I have the impression, but as I did not have my journal handy (I fell asleep on the couch not my bed.) BUT I am fairly certain that if I go to a music store and look around that I would know it by seeing it...it's just a feeling I have. :)

Anyways, so that is where I am at today. I will probably post again tonight as I want to try a self session by Patricia Cyr *(guided exercise)* but will let you all know how that plays out. :)

Much Love! Let the positive thoughts and vibes flow.

One Day After My Reiki 1 Attunement

Hello All.

To begin, as you may or may not know...I have been wanting to attend my Reiki 1 Course for certification and to learn the wonderful thing that is Reiki.

My attunement was a very special process for me. I have never felt that way from sitting in simple meditation...or should I say rather that I have never been able to reach such a deep state of calm and peace so quickly...But as soon as my teacher began the attunement things just felt right.

Colors flashed behind my closed eyes, peace and calm surrounded me, and a couple of other things or impressions came to me during that time as well, and my attunement was a very quick process that seems to have made absolutely no difference from my friend's who have been attuned during a longer process, or perhaps it just didn't matter for me..where every one is unique and has different experiences, there are I am sure many outcomes for many individuals.

As I sit here, I reflect on my first session besides on myself, plants or pets...this was on my Fiance. I have to give him points, as whether he believes in it or not, he does understand that this is something I need to do, and that while he lays there he feels tingly, warm, calm and almost able to fall asleep.

I will be continuing to make notes or random comments such as this as I make my way along this journey of learning Reiki, and anything else I happen to come to realize or learn.

Thank you for your time to any who read this. Much Love to all. Think positive thought and positive energy will find you.

It's Almost Time!!

That's right friends. :) My Reiki Course is this weekend. I am hoping for no delays, and that I don't get too lost in Sackville on a sunday..the buses aren't that good and I would be VERY SAD if I missed my bus or my course.... :( *SIGH*

I will get there though...No one holding me back this time...the money is set aside, I am ready to go!!

I have a friend coming with me I believe....she has not said 100% for sure yet, so one way or another, I am going to have a small class I am pretty sure....

Anyways, I am VERY EXCITED...and will be back sunday night or monday with my two cents on my course and the outcome, and then a periodic update following the attunement process....

WISH ME LUCK! It feels so right that I am taking this course...let us hope that I am going to be able to help those I love with it.

MUCH LOVE ALL!!!

Joke from a friend to lighten your day...

A female CNN journalist heard about a very old Jewish man who had been
Going to the Western Wall to pray, twice a day, every day, for a long, long
Time.

So she went to check it out. She went to the Western Wall and there he
Was, walking slowly up to the holy site. She watched him pray and after about 45
Minutes, when he turned to leave, using a cane and moving very slowly, she
Approached him for an interview.

"Pardon me, sir, I'm Rebecca Smith from CNN. What's your name?

"Morris Fishbien," he replied.

"Sir, how long have you been coming to the Western Wall and praying?"

"For about 60 years."

"60 years! That's amazing! What do you pray for?"

"I pray for peace between the Christians, Jews and the Muslims."
"I pray for all the wars and all the hatred to stop. "
"I pray for all our children to grow up safely as responsible
Adults, and to love their fellow man."

"How do you feel after doing this for 60 years?"

"Like I'm talking to a fucking wall."

Oh my aching head...

Hello Everyone,

Today is a long day...that is all that I can say. My head has the feeling of a cold that will not go away, my drugs have me floating in la la land and feeling unable of handling the simplest request today without attacking someone. Oh no, the darned colds.

What I came on here to post today, is not to complain about my health...but rather that I am looking for suggestions on how to piece together a BBQ reception for a wedding. Specifically, any suggestions or ideas of what you would expect to find if you were invited to a BBQ reception and the type of venue you would expect.

Thank you for any assistance you feel up to offering.
