Reiki and Teens

I was just reading an article on Reiki and teens and how some schools are actually bringing Reiki to the students. The teen years are such turbulent times with so many emotional issues that arise it just makes it hard to be a teen. The article states how Reiki is great for teens as they don't have to talk. They can just relax into the experience. It also works well with ADD and ADHD students because it can calm and balance. Reiki can also help with depression. The article states that one school in Maine offered Reiki to students after they had lost 8 students to accidents and suicide in six months! The school reported that Reiki helped the students cope with the losses. Maybe we should have a Reiki practitioner on staff in the schools! Or a class to teach teens how to give Reiki to each other. I would love to be a part of such a program. Those of you who are teachers out there, let your administration know about the benefits of Reiki and how it might help your students. What a blessing this would be to our children and our world!
May your day be filled with all good things,

Reiki for Grief

The January 2009 edition of the magazine Natural Solutions has an article on page 72 entitled "Reiki for Grief". It tells the story of a woman who was experiencing physical pain in her tailbone after her mother's death. The medical profession prescribed analgesics and stretching to ease her pain, which did not help her. She had the opportunity for a Reiki session and it proved to be healing for her. It released the pent-up emotions she was holding in her body and her pain disappeared. It has not reappeared in 13 months.

Reiki is such a phenomenal form of healing. I have seen it over and over again in my practice, release emotional issues that we have suffered with in our lifetimes. This deep form of relaxation allows the body to reset itself (according to Pamela Miles, author of Reiki: A Comprehensive Guide). Reiki truly shows the connection between body, mind and spirit, healing the body as we release the emotional content of our pain.

Welcome!

Welcome everyone to my new blog! My old one had problems in that it wouldn't let anyone leave a comment. That's no fun! So I welcome your comments on this one! I really want to get some discussions and insights going around Reiki, Shamanism, all things Celtic, etc. etc. etc. Let's all share our knowledge and brighten each other's day!

For all of my Reiki and Shamanic Students this is a forum for you to bring up questions and experiences that you would like to share. Did you have a great journey you'd like some feedback on, or an incredible insight? Please share it with us all!

Also, I am currently in the process of writing a book on ethics for energy workers and would love it if you would like to share some thoughts on ethics or have some experiences, both ethical and unethical, that you have encountered in your training and in your work. Those of you who have been in my classes know I am passionate about this subject as I feel it is lacking in the training of energy workers.

May your day be filled with the essence of joy!
