A Blueprint for Wholeness

Did you know that God has given YOU the blueprint for wholeness? Every one of us are beings of unlimited possibilities, including wholeness – its just that sometimes we create possibilities that wreak havoc in our bodies or minds. Reiki allows us to tap into that blueprint of wholeness – as shown by Kay’s amazing story of healing, found on the International Center for Reiki Training website. We believe you will be inspired.

Heart Healed

I sort of bumped into Reiki. In 2000 I wasn’t feeling well, and after a lot of tests I was told that I had had a silent heart attack. I have diabetes. I was told that I needed a heart catheterization, so one was scheduled… a two-week wait. During this time I went with my partner to a college graduation party. There I met a woman who asked me if I was feeling OK. We discussed a few things, and then she asked me to come to her house during the week.

…The only night I could go was the night before I traveled four hours to Syracuse for the test. I went, not knowing what I was invited for. She asked me if I had ever heard of Reiki, and I had not. She asked if she could do a treatment-what did I have to lose? The treatment was wonderful and lasted about an hour. I became very calm, then very emotional–such a release. When she was done she let me talk about anything I needed to talk about. I felt so loved, protected, and different.

I had the [medical] procedure the next day. I was scared; I won’t deny that. During the treatment I began to cry; fear was taking over. The doctor told me to look at the monitors. There must have been ten of them against the wall. He then told me what he saw, and didn’t really understand. He said there was a very healthy heart on the screens, very healthy. There was no evidence of a heart attack, just a small valve problem. After the procedure he came to my room to talk with me. He said that he was sure I had had a heart attack-the echo, ultrasound, etc., had all indicated that I had, but there was no evidence of a heart attack. He didn’t understand it, he said. I said I did.

After I got home the next day I called my friend, my Reiki teacher, and told her the story. At that point my desire to know and use Reiki began. She was a Reiki Master, and from her I too have learned. Do I believe the Reiki made the difference? Yes, with all my heart and spirit. I tell this story when I teach Reiki, and always become emotional, as I am now.

Chakra Power

Each month we will give you an introductory taste to one of your seven main vital energy centers known as Chakras. When energy is flowing freely through our chakras, we feel grounded, creative, powerful, loving, confident, intuitive and connected. When energy is obstructed in our Chakras, we feel constricted, sickly, depressed, confused, fearful and disconnected. Isn’t it time to Heal Your Life?

Claim the power in your 5th Chakra this month!

This is the Center where the power of Will and Communication reside. Also known as your Throat Chakra, it is located in your throat and resonates with a beautiful sky blue.

Your Throat Chakra deals with willpower, or the power of choice, which is different than the personal power we dealt with in the 3rd Chakra. Your 5th Chakra is concerned with personal expression in speech, writing, singing and the arts. This energy center governs speech, sound, vibration, and communication. True communicators recognize their rights to express their feelings but do so in a way that does not diminish the other person. They integrate both heart and mind in their communication.

Do you ever find yourself taking part in verbal abuse? Do you talk too much or cut people off in conversations? Or, in a dramatic flip of the coin, do you hold back your thoughts, swallow your feelings or words, do you stutter, suffer from silence or rarely speak? Do you get sore throats easily? Are you often clearing your throat? If any of these hold true for you, your 5th Chakra could be out of balance.

To assist in the healing of your throat Chakra, express your thoughts in words that bring value to your communication. Be an active listener and hear hidden truths. Honor your own words as you allow others the respectful space to speak their truth, even when it is not yours. Use crystals with energy frequencies that support the 5th Chakra, such as turquoise, sodalite, aquamarine, and lapis lazuli.

Enjoy the abundant beautiful blue of the sky, and perhaps even water while you say the following affirmation:

Affirmation: speak only the truth. I communicate easily with honesty and integrity. I hear only the truth. I listen without judgment. I comprehend with compassion. I speak my will easily.

Terrific Tips for Health & Healing

By Deborah Zbicki, Health Consultant
Did You Know That Peppermint Oil Has Many Uses?
Peppermint oil is a very good digestive aid. A few drops in a glass of water makes a great, refreshing beverage that tastes great and improves digestion. This oil can eliminate or reduce nausea, gas, bloating, and abdominal cramps.

The oil can be rubbed onto aching muscles to provide relief. A few drops can be massaged into the temples to reduce a headache. Peppermint oil can be applied to the chest, to assist with colds, flu, and fevers. The oil can also be rubbed into the bottoms of the feet to alleviate body aches and pains.

Peppermint oil can be applied to the throat area to assist in balancing and opening up the throat chakra energy center.This oil can be applied topically to the skin, but should be diluted with another oil before skin application.
