      Hi Anne!                                                                                                                     

       …Then for fun, we had munchkin choose a card. She chose Opal, who shares the message that the angels and God are watching over our children! We were covered in goosebumps and stunned, but also not surprised. Validation in any form is SO darn COOL!

       Thank you for another great class!!!

       Hugs,

      Currently, I am preparing to leave my little one overnight for the first time. She is 2 years old and my practical brain knew that this day would eventually come. Sadly, knowing that isn’t softening the blow to my heart one bit.

      Believe me; I keep playing the obvious over and over again in my head… “She will be cared for by two of the people who her love her most, her dad and her grandma; I will be gone for less than 24 hours; It will be nice to spend some time with girlfriends, etc…” When these reminders weren’t enough for me, I turned to Reiki and prayer. I conducted a group healing session and stated some really cool affirmations aloud. I did feel better… buuuuuttttt, it still just wasn’t enough. Then I “heard” this soft voice urging me to “go to the cards.”

      I bet you are curious why I started with an excerpt from an old email above. I actually sent it to my Reiki Master following a class I had taken with her called, Connecting with Your Angels and Guides. After that class I purchased an Oracle Card deck (Messages from Your Angels, by Doreen Virtue). For those of us who tend to get wrapped up inside of our own thoughts/heads/minds, this type of tool can be very helpful, especially during those moments when you aren’t quite sure how to turn off your ego and actually hear the responses to your prayers.

      If yophoto (18)u’ll notice, I refer to my daughter pulling the Opal card (see pic). This was in January, 2013. Ever since that initial experience, each time I have busted out that deck, my little one has pulled the Opal card (no joking or over-exaggerating here) EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. (There are 44 cards in the friggin’ thing!!! Yowza!)

      Typically I turn to these cards when I am stressing over something or allowing fear/anxiety to lead me astray. And of course, whatever mom is up to, toddler wants to do too:) Now, I’m not fooling myself. We all know who really needed to see that Opal card. I had to share this story though, because even when I have come so far with trusting in Divine timing, intervention, and wisdom, I still have plenty of occasions when reassurance, validation, and confirmation are GREATLY APPRECIATED.

      So, I may not be doing back-flips out the door this trip (I will revisit this statement and potentially modify when I have a teenager), but it is pretty gosh darn awesome that my daughter has her guardian angel Opal assisting her dad and grandma with the babysitting duties (and that Opal saw fit to let this lady know that!).

      With Love & Gratitude,

      Reiki Mommy

    • Gratitude for Reiki (today)

      Posted at 2:14 am by N. Higashi, on May 11, 2014

      Top 5 reasons I am grateful for Reiki today:

      1. My munchkin is getting sick.
      2. She also gets anxious around too many other kids.
      3. My friend’s baby had to undergo a medical procedure.
      4. I fell down my stairs and have a monster bruise(s) to remind me of it.
      5. It has been 2 weeks since my last blog post… I am falling behind and don’t know where to begin!

      Um, yeah, so these probably aren’t the (insert sing-song voice here) “energy is incredible”, “life has no issues”, “flowers, sunshine, and rainbows” examples you were thinking I’d write when I decided to note why I was grateful for having Reiki in my life today. In fact, prior to discovering Reiki & Karuna Reiki®, those above noted 5 items would have me feeling completely out of control, overwhelmed, nervous, frustrated, and confused. And the ensuing result would have been a shut down in one form or another. Maybe eating several king size bags of candy, tears, or snapping at the hubby? Nothing good, that’s for sure. Instead, I was guided to just start writing. The thoughts (aka messages from above) went a little something like this: Create the list. Look at it and know that all is well. Be calm and just trust that you can and will handle it.

      You know how I have grown to trust that inner voice? For me, getting attuned (to Reiki energy) kind of strengthened that phone line, so to speak… No more choppy connections here. In one way or another, Source’s loving messages get through to me. Thank God (literally)!

      Plus, I am a girl who likes action. I love that I have Reiki to turn to when my child is battling a cold or anxiety issues. If and/or when I doubt that it will work (I am human after all), the healing energy “spontaneously” turns on while I’m sitting in Starbucks and I immediately think of my friend and her baby. Come to find out, they had just arrived at the doctor’s office and were filling out paperwork prior to his procedure when this happened.  “Proof” also arrives in the form of a rapidly healing enormo-monster bruise, thanks to self-Reiki “treatments.” And, finally, after several weeks of not being able to decide on a topic to write about, I am blessed with the gift of this list and the circumstances that led me to creating it (which just so happen to be a sneezing, snotty toddler who had a rough time in her music class this morning).

      In looking back at my life prior to Reiki, the metamorphosis has been incredible. I am not a different person at all. I am just more…whole. And I am MOST grateful because I am able to bring a more trusting, less afraid, complete woman into our home as an example to my daughter and any future kids that choose to enter this Reiki Family. Being more peaceful and accepting has created an environment where each of us will thrive. Just look, I can write out 5 potentially “crummy” things and turn them into reasons I am thankful for something. It is my hope that many families get to experience this kind of peace by taking any route that makes them feel good. It could be Reiki, but really, anything that helps you to know and/or realize that you are supported and strong sounds like a perfect place to start to me!

      With Love & Gratitude (as there’s never too much to go around),
