Reiki is a Japanese healing practice that is used to heal physical and mental trauma, and to support mental clarity and spiritual well-being. In Japanese, the word "Rei" refers to a higher intelligence that permeates all living and nonliving entities and guides the inherent functioning of the universe. The word "Ki" refers to the nonphysical energy that flows through everything that is alive, including plants, animals, and human beings. The combination of these two words is what defines reiki as "spiritually guided universal life-force energy." Reiki is always for the highest possible good with no attachment to what that may look like.

I had already logged thousands of hours as a bodywork practitioner before I tiptoed into Reiki, which I thought was a lot of New Age hooey. I loved to laugh at it. But then one day I had an accident and tore open the bottom of my foot, and due to its position the open wound refused to close and heal. For ten days it was like this, bleeding and open. Then on the tenth day I showed up at bodywork school (with a cane) and one of my friends asked what was up with my foot. I told her and she took my foot in her hands without saying anything and soon I felt a fire boiling in my foot. "What the *&?! are you doing to my foot?" I said, searching for some visual clue and seeing nothing, which seemed impossible. "This is Reiki," she said. ....Then when I came home from school an hour later, there was a fine new seam of baby skin closing the wound all the way across.

So I became a Reiki Master. It was not easy, and is an ongoing journey of progressive growth. Really, making it through training and getting the label was just the beginning.

I find Oncological Reiki particularly rewarding. I remember one client came to me before a breast cancer operation, scared and in pain, and wrote me the loveliest note afterward saying that thanks to me, she faced the operation in peace, and that best of all, she had astonished her doctors: they had prescribed a huge course of pain-killing opioids for her after the operation and she said, she felt no pain, and so hadn't taken any of them.

I more often do Reiki for emotional or mental blocks. But it's fun to mention a couple more physical anecdotes. When new research finally came out supporting Reiki as an anti-inflammatory, I shrugged: it took them this long to notice? Anyway, once someone came to me with a jammed finger that was swollen the size of a banana. I Reiki'd it and within an hour it was back to finger-size. And most powerfully, once I did Reiki for a little boy with an upset tummy who wanted to throw up, and by the time I took my hands away, his nausea was gone.

I am a Reiki Master.

Pranayama are breathing exercises which clear the physical and emotional obstacles in our body to free the breath and the flow of prana - the universal life energy that runs through us and everything around us. The way we breathe, move, think, and act contributes to the flow and vitality of prana.

Breath is life.

Daily stressors, tensions and physical habits can create physical and energetic obstacles in our bodies. We develop unconscious breathing patterns restricting the flow of breath and prana. When we free the breath through pranayama we allow life energy to flow through the body. This energizes, relaxes, and heals the body, letting everything fall into place.

Breathe.

After doing an intense and rigorous six-month-long pranayama and meditative visualization mentorship training with psychotherapist yogini Stacie Overby, I have continued my own daily pranayama meditative practice for years. It makes life simple and clear for me and makes needless drama go away. It helps me live in harmony with the truth. All those things people say about meditation are actually true. I can mentor you while we develop your own unique pranayama practice based on your own life situation.

Tarot is a key to our inner wisdom. When we consult the Tarot, we learn the lessons we need to live an inspired life. It’s like holding up a mirror so as to access the answers inside our subconscious. Tarot helps with personal development, making choices, manifesting goals, meditating, and any process that requires listening to and understanding our inner voice.

I do not use Tarot for making predictions. I believe it is most useful for telling, not the future, but the present. I use it as a counselor, to access our intuition and inner wisdom, freeing us to create our own futures and empower us to manifest our own goals.

I have been reading Tarot for thirty-five years...which is a bloody long time.

Runes can illuminate a current situation, thus offering us choice and personal empowerment. The better we know our lives, the better we can actively live them. Runes give clear answers to clear questions. Readings can contain issues of which you were unaware, or are weighing on your mind, and feelings that need to be noticed. Runes help us understand ourselves better, and this personal knowledge gives us control.

I do not use Runes for making predictions either, for the same reasons. I am a counselor.

I have been reading Runes for twenty years...which is also a bloody long time.

Qi Gong, widely known for its healing effects and spiritual empowerment, combines movement, meditation, and breathing to regulate and enhance the flow of the body’s vital energy, improve blood circulation, strengthen the immune system, and calm the mind. Its primary goals are to achieve better health, to promote healing for self and others, and to preserve life. Its highest goal is to realize the spiritual enlightenment or immortality and achieve the “complete emancipation of body and mind”.

I studied Qi Gong for a long time and like to incorporate it into my work.
