I've gone and done it.  I am now a member of the International Association of Reiki Professionals.  For those reiki folk looking for business support for your reiki practice, give them a try.  You can even get insurance through one of the affiliates.  If you like, take a look and see what you think.  Reiki blessings to all....

Every now and again I like to talk about what I'm reading (aside from those books folks ask me to tout). I am currently loving The Shadow Effect: Illuminating the Hidden Power of Your True Self written by Deepak Choprah, Debbie Ford and Marianne Williamson. I have long been aware of the concept of the shadow self, the part of that, due to...

I've had a pretty busy week and was remiss in posting a reminder about our reikishare tonight.  If you are in the New York area we would love to have you at 251 Union Avenue in Mount Vernon, NY at 7 pm.  You don't need to have reiki to participate.  We will have some light refreshments.  $10 love donation is requested. Please RSVP to...

It is the 4th of July and for some unaccountable reason I have been watching the Jaws marathon on one of the channels.  I have a special affinity with the original version, I have to admit.  The movie was filmed on Martha's Vineyard where my family used to summer (and continues to summer, when we get the chance) and there are many places that I...

The first time I heard the word smudging, it was in reference to a reiki event someone else had attended.  The participants smudged each other with sage before the beginning of the event, I was told.  Being a kindergarten teacher at the time, I imagined folks playing in dirt or sand or maybe washable paint  and smearing it on each other. ...

Imagine my surprise to be in New York, one of the outer boroughs at my daughter's college orientation, when it appears to me that the screen on which we are watching a power point presentation seems to wiggle in ways that such screens are not designed.  At least I thought it did.  I glanced around the room to see if anyone else was perturbed by...

Have questions about what reiki is and isn't?  You might like this video put out by Laurelle and Michael.  By the way, Laurelle puts out some outstanding meditations.  Give the chakra clearing a try.  I guarantee you'll be glad you did.

Hope all you dads and offspring had a wonderful day together.  Here are a few of my favorite Father's Day quotes for inspiration or contemplation.  If you have a favorite quote you don't see here, make sure to leave it in the comments area. A truly rich man is one whose children run into his arms when his hands are empty.  ~Author...

When Elyse suggested we go to mediumship development classes, that's when I thought she'd finally lost it.  I mean, is there anything about me that suggests I'd be good communing with folks from the other side? I don't even go to funerals unless somebody makes me. So imagine my surprise when it comes time during our apprenticeship to make...
