    • Home Clearing and Reiki Maintenance

      Posted at 12:52 pm by N. Higashi, on March 28, 2014

      Home doormat pic for home clearing blogDo you ever find yourself walking around your home and you suddenly get the “heebie-jeebies”? Or maybe you are house shopping or visiting a friend, enter a room, and something feels “off.” I’m not (necessarily) talking Ghostbusters here, but all things are comprised of energy and some will remain from previous residents, incidents that happened on the land the home was built upon, and even may live on from your own experiences (e.g. that terrible night of teething, disagreement with your spouse, etc).

      As I mentioned in my previous post, we just went through the home buying process. Once all was approved and we got the keys, the order of appointments we scheduled went something like this: painters, vent & floor cleaners, and a Home Clearing. Our previous owners had a series of renters after living in the house for several years. Aside from a multitude of people coming and going, unfortunately we also recently learned that our sellers are now going through a divorce. Plus, on one occasion when we were walking through before our move, I got some serious above-noted “heebie-jeebies” in the room that was to become my office. Imagine trying to focus on writing, organizing, and/or distance healings with a case of the “heebie-jeebies”… Not gonna happen! And if I felt uncomfortable, how was my two year old going to feel in the space? (Enter protective Mama Bear here – no funkiness welcome around MY baby!)

      I have read and heard about multiple methods used to clear a space. Some people may have their home blessed by a church group or priest. Others might use sage or oils. I even learned how to do space/object clearing myself during my Reiki classes. I do this sporadically at home (you never know what the cat dragged in, so to speak) and also prior to healing sessions being conducted in a rental space. This ensures that we have a “fresh” environment to live and work in.

      But, for a job the size of our new home, with the intensity of the energy that I was feeling and the history we were already aware of within its walls, we called the “big guns” for assistance. For us, the “big guns” come in the form of a powerful healer named Margaret McCormick. She does all of her work at a distance and sends a detailed report of her findings (this service costs $50)… And, unsurprisingly to me, our house had quite a bit going on. For instance, there were 529 energy “imprints” which are defined by Margaret’s Guides as:

      “Anger, pain and suffering and other negative emotions leave what we call imprints behind. This is like a segment of energy caught in that time and space that is encapsulated; an imprint of that moment in time. It is caused by intense emotions.

      These imprints will last through time and space for many, many years. Cleansing can erase imprints. There is nothing there to send to the light, but it can be what we describe as erased by cleansing. An imprint is vibrating at a negative rate and is, therefore, a negative energy.

      You might view these imprints as a “thing”. They are not a soul, they do not have a consciousness, they are like a picture snapped at a certain time and place, capturing that energy of pain, violence, or anger in that moment.” 

      What did she do with the imprints? She “transformed them into a Divine frequency of love.” Who doesn’t want that? Anger, pain, sadness, and other negative emotions transformed into LOVE. Yes, please!

      Now for my maintenance plan… As I mentioned, I have been trained in space clearing techniques and I also learned how to do energy gridding (with my Reiki Master, Dr. Anne Reith). I was drawn to working with crystals from the start and I will use them to amplify not only my healing sessions, but also grids that I create. Reiki energy gridding can protect the designated space from unwanted energy and will fill the area within the grid with certain attributes. Utilizing the crystals I have chosen for our home (citrine, green aventurine, and Tiger’s eye), I set the intention of this grid to include: protection, peace, harmony, clarity, focus, and calm. My grid can be reworked (I can change the crystals and intentions at any time) and it will need updating over time.

      In closing, there is no one correct way to clear your home. If you are thinking about doing so and not certain about which road to take, I suggest turning inward and trusting that inner voice. It is the Divine guiding you. What feels like the right way to you? And the winner is… the first answer that popped into your head or heart! Go with that!

      And finally, a quick and important side-note; the “heebie jeebie effect” wasn’t the same as knowing instinctually that something “wasn’t right.” If my husband or I had had that feeling in our guts, heads, or hearts, at ANY point, we never would have made an offer on the house. Not to be redundant, or maybe, definitely trying to be redundant… I am a big (huge, enormous) believer in trusting that inner voice- it is there to protect you! In our case, it felt more like the house needed a deep cleaning; a removal of not only dirt and grime, but also the energy residue that was hanging around. And the way it feels now? You know how good it feels after you have finished cleaning? That “sitting-on-the-couch-after-taking-a-long-hot-shower-and-sighing-while-you-sip-on-or-take-a-bite-out-of-whatever-your-desired-indulgence-might-be” happy feeling? Kinda like that… only waaaaay better. 🙂

      With Love & Gratitude,

      Reiki Mommy

    • Reiki to the Underwriters

      Posted at 4:40 pm by N. Higashi, on March 21, 2014

       “What’s that you say? You sent Reiki energy to the underwriters working on your loan?” The answer is a resounding “YES!” Yes, I did. You might be thinking that this sounds crazy and are maybe even wondering how I could do such a thing when it isn’t something that they requested and/or even knew about receiving (I address this in closing below). Truthfully, I was pretty shocked to be doing it myself. But the amazingly beautiful thing about becoming a Reiki Practitioner/post attunements at any level, is that when you open yourself up to Spirit and allow their guidance to do just that, guide you, something that seems off the wall (even to you), suddenly becomes the ONLY thing that makes perfect sense.

      As small business owners, we found ourselves in quite the pickle when dealing with getting our loan approved for our new house. Long story short, within four days we had bought one home and sold another. AMAZING! Multiple metaphysical teachers/authors/theories state that when something is “right” then all will fall into place easily and quickly. My husband and I do our best to stay in that type of positive mindset and were excited to have validation that we were doing the “right” thing. And then (insert the dreaded “duh duh duuuh”) we started dealing with the bank. We had a solid down payment and great credit history, but as we all know, regulations have become much stricter and a husband/wife team is a lot more risky than a corporate employee situation.

      But, enough about that, you’re probably wondering what drove me to send the underwriters Reiki and how I did so. We had entered into the second week of “we need more information” processing and I may or may not have been losing my mind (yes, even Reiki peeps lose their cool sometimes). I kept being guided via that soft, confident voice in my head (aka Spirit) to send “them” Reiki. Per natural human being (Conditioned Self) response to that voice, I shrugged it off and thought “Yeah, right.” When I was prompted again a little later, I still refused to listen, thinking, “This house stuff is causing you to act all kinds of crazy Nicole!” Finally, after that voice had grown a little louder and sweetly urgent, I caved. Figuring, what could it hurt? I began a brief group distance healing session, right on my couch with the little munchkin on my lap. I set the intention that the healing energy be received by the underwriters and any/everyone working on our file/transaction. I was guided to focus on releasing anxiety and sent symbols that encompass compassion and love, and assist us to access: Divine Wisdom, Divine Will, and Divine Peace.

      The outcome, you wonder? Things did ease up and within several weeks, we were approved for the loan and moving into our new place. Am I claiming that the Reiki got us a house? No, not at all! But, I do strongly believe that it was a catalyst for removing some blocks to the progress we had been making and more freely enabled the positive, peaceful energy to begin flowing again. One of the most awesome things about being a Reiki Practitioner is that by being the conduit of God/Source energy, you are receiving a healing yourself right along with the intended recipient(s). Could my Guides have urged me to do this distance healing so that I might chill out and stop trying to control the outcome so much? MOST DEFINITELY.

      Whether it was for me or the underwriters or both, I personally believe that we all make better decisions when we are not feeling anxious or stressed. Please keep in mind that Reiki can do NO HARM, so I felt comfortable and confident sending this healing energy and prayer to the people working on our loan. As a quick side note, I was taught and completely agree that if this healing modality was not something that they would have felt comfortable receiving, then their Guides would have intervened and accepted the energy and used it on their behalf.

      I am continually amazed by what can unfold if we “simply” allow it to do so. I emphasize the “simply” because there is nothing simple about just letting go and allowing, at least for me. But, this Reiki Mommy is living the benefits of God/Source energy in constantly surprising, ever-changing scenarios. I HAD to share this story mostly because I am still inwardly giggling about my experience sending “Reiki to our Underwriters.”

      With Love & Gratitude,

      Reiki Mommy
