Website Building – A lesson in patience
Hello Dear reader. I wish I could say how well it went as I attempted to build a website for my reiki business; But no. No, it did not go well, for me. The tears I held back last night came out so fast it surprised even me. I was set up and told, “This is the fun part, you get to pick your own style and set up your website so it reflects you.” I scrolled and clicked and the font colour did not work with what I picked so I picked a new set up I didn’t like but the font colour would work and started to cry. My offspring took over, and I allowed my emotions to flow as my mind closed like a slammed door on the idea of creative web design. The road ahead is a long one, so the picture reflects, but I will travel it, I will!
Reflections – Sat. Dec. 30, 2023
When faced with hard things it is such a humbling experience. I have so much more patience with others after not being able to do something myself. I just want to share my reiki with others, I never wanted to have a website, or have to do social media like Insta and TikTok. I only use Facebook for groups I belong to and sometimes to sell stuff on marketplace. I am not a poster of life events or follower of my friends from growing up.
I like doing reiki and wish I didn’t need to have a website but I need a way to be found so I can share my gift and help others – which is a big part of living my highest timeline. Which is now. There is no other time except the day to day that we live and experience every day. When I hear about jumping time lines and living our highest, best life it makes me feel good but the reality is, that to get there (living our best life), is work. Like anything that brings us happiness and rewards, there is the whole Little Red Hen story – seed, care, wait, tend, and finally, after a long growing period, there is a harvest. After the harvest there is still the grinding and baking before the delicious reward of all the hard work is seen and enjoyed. I honestly never realized how true that story is and how deep the story reflects on real life! Thunder & lightning bolt moment!
I hope my daily blog is showing you someone that you would like to meet and allow me to provide you with a bit of relaxing, quiet time for yourself. Reiki is a time to escape the reality of life and just enjoy peace and tranquility while I move golden light energy through you, moving blocks that may have you stuck and providing a release of tension, anxiety or anything you want to let go of. Although there is no guarantee of reiki providing instant release, the time spent giving yourself some pampering is so rewarding! I feel so good after I lay down on my own reiki table, listen to a playlist and give myself a reiki session. The peace and calm I feel for hours and sometimes days afterward are so rewarding that it tends to compel me to go to bed early and give myself bedtime reiki to promote better sleep, awakening more relaxed and confident to start the next day. Yes I praise reiki because I am truly passionate about the power it has to help you feel better, reduce feelings of anxiety and find calm. Reiki is light energy. I believe a lot of the good feeling that comes from a reiki session is turning off technology and returning to a grounded, quiet place, where ones mind and body relaxes, which often doesn’t happen in daily living. Sleep, is sadly, the only time some people disconnect from technology. Give yourself some love, come for a reiki session with me.

Happy New Year 2024 – clear and be positive!
A light snow falls outside on this last day of 2023. The snow melts as it hits the ground, leaving a shiny surface on everything. Almost like a thorough washing away of the old year, as the clock ticks closer away this last day of December. I cleaned my house, top to bottom and smudged with palo santo incense -I love the smell of this, leaving my soul feeling clean too. I want the new year to come in to a cleansed area so I begin on a positive vibe. I even rearranged my reiki space to make it more spacious, for you, dear reader, should you become a client.
Space is so important that I will take a moment here to mention the importance of keeping your home or your room clean and clear of clutter and mess. What you see outside of a person, in their space, reflects what is inside, in the Soul. Clearing and making room for good things is important so that when the goodness is sent to you from God and the Universe, you will have space to accept it into your life. Yes, this has been said already, but a new year is a great time to let go of that which no longer serves you and release it so you can be prepared to welcome better things in. I am not saying remove things, I just cleaned and rearranged – I did not get rid of anything, yet.
I am holding a positive attitude and letting go of negativity and low vibes. I choose to be the light. I believe if we all took time to send love out to the world, it will make a difference. Each one of us is one more person sending love, and collectively we do make an impact on the vibes that drift in the ethers of the Universe, affecting others in a good way, if we choose. You make a difference. I make a difference. We can create the world we want by sending love when someone pisses us off, instead of getting angry. It is a new concept that takes practice but it leaves me feeling so much better than carrying anger. I know each person has a story and I respect that often the anger they send has nothing to do with me. Try sending love -just imagine the next time someone is driving too slow in front of you, send them love. (One day you may be so lucky to have all the time in the world to go slower) Ask God, the Universe or what ever you call your Higher Power, to take the grumpiness/anger to burn away in the ethers. Imagine it going and dissolving like a firework -gone. Then go on with your day and forget about it. The more you do this the better you feel. Figure out what triggered you and work on that -but you don’t have to sit in uncomfortable feelings.
Begin the new year with a positive attitude and remember to send off negative energy like a firework. I wish you and your loved ones all the best in 2024. Start with yourself feeling and acting better and you will be amazed how you attract positive people and things into your world. Let me know how it’s working for you after a few weeks. I love to hear from you, dear reader. Much love and light!
Happy New Years Day !
I wish everyone a healthy, joyous, prosperous new year. May you and your family find peace and happiness that lasts beyond the holiday season. I hope you all have a good day and wonderful new year. Starting today. The new year holds so much hope, but its the same as every other day unless you change your perspective and do whatever it takes to make your new happen.
I started my day as I usually do, with coffee, treadmill, and inspiration. I listened to a coaching program I purchased back in November ’23 to get myself motivated to grow my reiki business. It helps. The package is advertised as 4 different lectures but each one uses the same principals and mantras so it’s kind of a gimmick to make you think your getting 4 different things but it’s essentially just the same stuff being said, different nights, recorded and sold as a package of 4. It works to motivate me, although I feel a bit dupped, in the end, I am motivated, so that’s what matters. I hope you find something to motivate you and keep you on track. Perhaps buy a real coaching package or a pre-recorded one lecture package?
I live close to Toronto, Ontario, Canada so it is starting to get colder outside. By colder I mean plus 5 celsius (41 Fahrenheit) or winter coat, splash pants, puffy gloves, a wool hat and scarf weather. I went outside to enjoy the bright sunshine but it was cold enough I did not do a long walk. No snow yet, which I am grateful for. I decided to watch some YouTube videos to figure out the website building. I want to add links to pages so you have: About Me, Intake forms, booking links, pictures of my tranquil reiki space, and a link to Google for reviews, with a map to show where in the world I am. I can send reiki anywhere in the world but I like to have people in for the immersive experience. It is so different when you are in person that I hope you can come experience it for yourself. Perhaps tomorrow I will explain the reiki session in detail so you know what to expect when you come in.
With my renewed motivation I must go watch some videos and experiment with the website. I do hope I make some progress. All the best with whatever goals you have for your new year, dear reader! Light and Love to All!
My Reiki Space
I want to add photos to my website so I sat a long time, from various angles, looking at the space I do reiki sessions. It is relaxing, to me, but it’s hard to know what a stranger may feel, coming in. I try to see it from a new perspective, as a client might. I decide I should add some reiki touches. What is a reiki touch? Are there things that belong in a reiki room? What things?
If you have never had a reiki session allow me to share what it is like in my reiki space. I have a room, just beyond the entrance of my home, where the sessions take place. It has a couch, a small table and a chair that I use to do a preliminary talk with my client prior to the reiki experience. Its kind of plain. I don’t need anything else in the room, and prefer to keep it clear so the reiki energy has room to flow and I need room to move around the reiki table. The reiki table is the same as a massage table, soft and comfortable. I add extra padding to mine and drape soft flannel sheets over it so its warm and cozy for your experience. I have seen some reiki rooms with different things but since the reiki experience is done with the client laying on the reiki table, usually eyes closed during the session, there is not a need for much decor; In my opinion.
When you come to my reiki space, you will feel the tranquility of the space, and there are just enough items to be comfortable, without feeling crowded. I invite you, dear reader, to contact me, and come for a reiki session, so you can give me feedback, as well as provide a review for other readers. I added a candle because I was meditating in my reiki space, yesterday. My reiki space is ready for you, dear reader, just as it is.
May your new year be going well and the joy of the new beginning linger with you as we glide throught the first week of 2024. Light and Love
Creating the Space
It takes some planning and lots of patience to create a space that is both inviting and functional. As a person that lives and works in the same space it must work for both purposes. I believe I have it now. I added photos to my website so you can see it now, too. I hope you share positive feedback about my reiki space.
Reiki on myself has been super effective to get me moving. I gave myself a reiki treatment several days in a row and I am really feeling the flow of energy through my body, mind and Spirit now. I have so much inspiration and ideas are flowing like they haven’t in a long time! Perhaps it has something to do with the huge solar flares lately as well, as that is huge energy popping into the universe and rippling out to us all.
Have you felt a surge of energy lately? Is it the new year excitement? Please let me know in the comments. Love and Light to all.
What’s A Reiki Session Like?
Relaxing! In a word. We start with an intake form, that tells me a bit about you and what brought you to try a reiki session with me. After our chat we get comfortable – you on the reiki table and me at your side explaining the hand placements I will go through and answering any questions you may have. Then you close your eyes and relax while I do my thing. It’s that simple. There’s relaxing lighting and music to set the tone and all you have to do is relax and enjoy. I have some scented oils diffusing or earthy incense to clear the energy before we begin. If you are sensitive to scents, I will, of course, not use them. They really do help with the mood though. Afterwards, you sit for a few minutes to feel the experience and then we discuss anything that came up for you and when you would like to return. It’s best to do a few treatments initially to get any of your stuck energy flowing – leaving you feeling energized and refreshed. You may choose to wait a few days, or even a week or two – it’s totally up to you.
I do a follow up with you in a few days to check in and see how you are doing – do you feel more relaxed now, are you more positive in your daily routines? Anything you notice we can discuss.
Also, I appreciate feedback – initially and a few days later; I want you to have the best experience possible. That’s the basics of a reiki session. Each session is 45 minutes to an hour long and very relaxed. You wear comfortable clothes that you can lay down in, and move around easily.
If you have any questions or comments please leave them below. Love and Light!
Notice the Signs!
Are you, dear readers, lovers of books? If your reading a blog, you must be a reader. Honestly, I say I’m a reader, but lately, I find I myself listening to audiobooks more than reading. I keep books in my vehicle so that I always have one if I get stuck in a waiting room or some place where it would be helpful to have a book to pass time. I like a book at the beach as well.
I have noticed the past few books I have listened to are such a reflection of my own life and what is going on. Either I am getting very good at picking random books or my intuition has become amazing to bring exactly what I need to awaken myself and get me headed in the right direction.
I believe the first book that really woke me up/affected me spiritually was one I listened to a couple of years ago; The Alchemist. I was so affected by the story that I think about it every time the wind blows strong. I have always thought the wind is an excellent way to get universal energy moving and the story confirmed this belief for me. In my mind, the wind was an indicator of things about to happen/change in the story. I won’t spoil it for you.
We all take different things from the same stories. What influences me may be very different than what you recall about the same story. I like books and stories about ordinary people that follow a dream and it all works out. Not a sappy, happy-ever-after, but a story that I can relate to, as someone following what is placed in my heart and hoping it all works for the good of everyone -including you dear reader.
There are going to be unforeseen blips along the way, but overall, if we stay on our path and do a little something each day, to reach our highest timeline, living a life we dream of, I believe we will succeed. What have you done today to move closer to your dream life? Love and Li
We Got Snow
Standing at the window it’s like being in a shaken snow globe. The snow outside is swirling, large flakes falling, sometimes gently, and then a blast of wind sends them sideways, in a cloud, like a bunch of dandelion fluff. Then I go to work in my office, in front of a window and a flash of light demanded my attention. Ummm? What was that, I wondered, with some surprise? I kept glancing, distracted, out the window so I would catch the light burst source, should it happen again. Of course it did! Never in my life have I ever before seen lightning in a snow fall! Then the snow ceases and the wind calms. I hear a rumble of very deep thunder. Jaw dropping thunder followed by a flash of lightning within ten seconds! Unbelievable! There is chaos in the air and the forces of nature are having an all-out battle tonight. So grateful, thank you God, that I am fortunate to bear witness to such an amazing event. No rain. No snow now. Just amazing, deep, rumbling thunder and blinding lightning flashes. I am so grateful that I chose to work, instead of watch television. Nothing on tv could ever be this good. This was night; Then, today, I am driving and I see the most beautiful, really they are always beautiful, rainbow! I feel so grateful and that I am truly surrounded by God’s loving arms, and Angels guide me to see the most wondrous nature this earth has to offer. So, so grateful. Not one, but two rainbows – one going to my destination and one returning hours later. Truly blessed, I am. I wish you all such glorious blessings in your lives today, dear reader. Love and Light.
