Reiki Weekend Report

Beth Hansen-Buth — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 04:25:56 +0000

Well my first big Reiki Weekend went well indeed. We began the festivities with the Friday Night Reiki Share, which caused all kinds of confusion among the cats as to why Mom was cleaning every night all week, but I digress. The Reiki Share went well, and everyone got a turn on the table. Even the cats helped. Now, I’m very excited about the next Reiki Share, and I’ll be sending a reminder out to the Meet-up group. Oh yeah, and in an effort to be inclusive, rather than exclusive, I’m welcoming those who do other types of hands-on healing and to people who want to learn a little bit more about Reiki before jumping in and taking a class. Just sharing the love is what it’s all about. I’m a healer not an elitist after all.

And that brings us to the next two days of my big Reiki Weekend, with The Shadows Holistic and Psychic Arts Faire, where I was offering Faeries Oracle Readings and Mini Reiki Sessions. I had a really good time both days, and had the same number of clients each day, though the overall traffic was better on Sunday. It was all weather related, as on Saturday it was still Summer and on Sunday it suddenly became Autumn. And it is still blowing in even as I write this tonight. One of the interesting things is that I got a couple of readings which really has uplifted my outlook about my future. I’m doing what I need to be doing right now, and I’m just going to keep on with it. It really feels good to know that I’m pointed in the right direction and going and the proper pace as well.

The evening finished off the weekend with sending Reiki to my Sister-Outlaw who had a challenging morning, and then to my husband who had a challenging day. While I was at the Holistic Faire, my darling David was trying to do a yard sale on a windy and occasionally rainy day. So he was pretty tired and sore by the time I got home, as he had chased things across the yard, put shelving units back up that tumbled down, and scurried everything into the garage before the rain got too hard.

The good news is that while going through boxes, he found my long lost cloak which I thought was gone for good these past four years or so. I really could have used it during the 2006 Renaissance Festival season where I was selling my artwork, because the weather was about as blustery as today’s for much of the run. But I have it now, so I get to wear it and be all Witchy for Halloween (a.k.a. Samhain for us witches) this year. This and the cats were extra snuggly tonight and I consider it a wonderful ending to an excellent Reiki Weekend.

Kinda crazy of me right? To be completely honest with you, I thought I had another weekend between to take care of everyday life things. Silly me!

In other news, I ordered some Postcards which will arrive in time for the 2nd event. Just a little October promotion that I’ve got tucked up my sleeve. I am soooo ready for Autumn to begin.

Talking Metaphysical

Last night we had our Tuesday Chat & Social for the TC Energy Healers & Energy Workers Meetup Group. It was a nice, relaxed little get together in the outdoor seating are of J&S Bean factory in St. Paul. There were about nine people there over all, and it was a pretty fun time. A night of free-flowing conversation with energy healers was definitely a better option than sitting in front of the TV all night! We sat out back where they have a walled in garden with many options for seating. A large, rough cut marble slab acted as our coffee table. I had my usual, a decaf mocha, and it was mighty tasty. There won’t be too many more outdoor excursions, because this is Minnesota after all, so I’m glad I was able to experience the evening outdoors with positive energy.

There were massage therapists, other Reiki practitioners, and other energy healers there. Our conversation started with the nitty gritty details of marketing and managing a small business, but moved on from there. One of my favorite conversations of the night was how to clear the energy in your neighborhood.

Buy White Sage in bulk – about a pound
Add in chunks of Dragon’s Blood or sprigs of dried lavendar
Light a fire in your backyard fire pit at midnight and allow it to burn down so it’s just hot coals
Start sprinkling on your Sage or other aromatic herbs or incense with the intention of sending positive energy throughout the neighborhood

So you are basically smudgeing the whole neighborhood! It’s best to do this at night after midnight so you won’t be bothering any of the neighbors with your smoke. This is definitely something I want to try, as I do have a fire-pit in the backyard. It sounds like fun doesn’t it?

After that we also talked a bit about aromatherapy, psychic experiences, communicating with our guardians and guides…you know, all the cool stuff. I left before it was finished because I wanted to get home at a reasonable hour. It was definitely time well spent and I hope to be able to attend again.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot! I mentioned that I wanted to host a Meet-up of my own, so my Friday Night Reiki Share is now an official event of the TCEHW Meet-up Group.
