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...

The other day, as I sometimes do, I went browsing around the internet in search of articles on reiki.  I found the usual skeptical nonsense--reiki is "purported to be some random energy, blah, blah, blah."  I am used to it so it doesn't bother me that so many seem so determined to tear down stuff they know nothing about.  But I came across one...

I have an admission to make.  I've never felt comfortable with the term Reiki Master.  Not only am I a girl, so I tend to want to be a reiki mistress--but that brings to my mind all sorts of activities that require whips and leather clothing.  To me the word Master implies being in control of something rather than allowing something to flow...

I hadn't really planned on writing a part two to this article, but so many people ask me about self-protection that I thought I might add another post on the topic.  Self-protection isn't hard, but I find a lot of people, particularly women are reticent to invoke self-protection.  Many people feel that they are in some way rejecting others or...

Just yesterday I got my latest copy of Reiki News, the publication of the International Center for Reiki Training.  I am part of this lineage, so I am always proud of the quality magazine that is produced by William Rand and his folks. Then I found out today that there will be a new Wold Peace Meditation.  Believe me folks, taking part in...

One of my students recently e-mailed me, wondering if she hadn't picked up something negative after sending reiki to someone who is ill.  As she had just been attuned, she was also afraid she somehow "wasn't doing it right." Two  things new reiki people need to keep in mind is that immediately after a reiki attunement, your body, mind and...

Laurelle Shanti Gaia fellow lightworker and one of my Reiki sheroes offers a different perspective on the situation in the gulf.  She begins her call to action thusly: I am writing this simply because I hope these words will inspire you to align with the true essence of who you are, to raise the vibration around this situation. To...
