Hey wait-a-minute…the clock in here says it’s only 9:00, not 10:00…Darned Automatic Daylight Savings on the VCR!!!! >:(  Not in such a rush after all, so we got everything loaded into the car and pulled out of the driveway with enough time to get a Grand Slam breakfast at Denny’s before heading over to Eye of Horus for my Reiki Sunday.

I forgot the boom box for my ambient music!!!

I arrived in plenty of time for set-up, light incense, light candles, fill the room with Reiki using the First Reiki Symbol CKR…ahhhh. Then I shut the door and laid down on the table in the Twilight Room and gave myself some much needed Reiki.

When I came out I was told that my 2:15 appointment couldn’t make it, but they would call back and schedule their Reiki session for another time. I thought cool! I had a 2:15? I knew about the 1:00 appointment, so I was glad to hear that I’d had another one scheduled, even if they cancelled.

Then, just before my regular shift started a gal wanted to give Reiki a try. So with a 15 minute Aura Session we concentrated on clearing her Chakra’s and giving her a nice Reiki charge for her performance in a play later that day.

I browsed through the store until my 1:00 showed up, we had been emailing back and forth and this was her first Reiki Session, and she wanted The Grande. We did quite a bit of Aura Cleansing, as well as releasing some chords (a Pranic Healing technique) from her past so she could move forward more freely. All this as well as complete head-to-toe Reiki on both the front and back body. It’s fun pulling out all the techniques I’ve learned to give somebody the full Reiki Energy Tune-up! The session went very well, and my clients both walked away happy. That’s all I can ask as a Reiki practitioner.

I brought my journal and a book to read, so I spent some time doing that, as well as wandering around the store. Later that day the Eye of Horus staff that was at the Rock and Gem show returned with their purchases. Some beautiful amber pieces came in which Jane showed to me, and then we talked a bit about the upcoming Psychic Saturday, where I will be doing ten minute Reiki Sessions. She said that nobody had signed up for the Reiki yet, just readings…gee, I wonder why…The AD:

No mention of Reiki…so here is the new and improved version of The AD:

Sure there are 6 readers and only 1 reiki master, but nobody would know there was the reiki going on at this shindig. It’s up to me to take the bull by the horns and let everyone know, so that’s what I’m doing right now!

I use both with my Reiki and they are both valid…and it’s still the same Reiki. It’s just a focal tool for the mind, like the hand positions, and I do beleive both systems are completely valid and are real working energy points within the body. As a painter I learned to work in layers, starting with the framework of a drawing, filling in tonal values, and finally adding the colored layers.

Well, that’s how I work with Reiki too. I start with the Hara and then I work the Chakras as well. I learn as much working with my own energy as I do working with clients. Tonight I feel the need for a big overhaul, so I’m going to work with my Chakra’s one by one. It’s one method of keeping my energy system charged and working well, in balance and harmony with my life’s purpose, whatever that may be.

I usually start from the top and work my way down, but this time I think I’ll start at my root Chakra and work my way up, from Earth Ki to Heaven Ki to put it in Japanese terms. I do honor and respect the origins of Reiki, but my personal understanding of energy also includes the Chakra system. Reiki and Chakras work well together, and many of the western teachers were taught that way from the start.
