Energy healing/clearing is something that I recommend be done on a regular basis.  But what does that mean exactly…right?

Let me tell you a little bit about my journey with energy work.  I’ve been having regular energy work done since 2008.  This may surprise some of you.  Some people may think, “what could she have been working on for almost 8 years now?”  It isn’t about that.  I have regular energy work done because I like how my energy body feels when it is clean, clear and balanced.

When I first started with energy work, yes, I had some clearing to do.  There were deep emotional wounds that I had been holding onto for many years.  It was time to heal those wounds and move forward.  I chose energy healing as an excellent way to help me with clearing this energy.

In 2010 I decided that I was going to go to New Brunswick and try a modality called S.A.C.  This decision changed my life.  Completely.  I fell in love with this healing modality and after my first set of sessions and a few Tune-up sessions I decided I was going to learn this modality and bring it here to British Columbia.  I still go back to New Brunswick on a regular basis for my SAC tune up sessions.  This is a regular part of my energy body maintenance.

We must start thinking of our energy body as we would our physical body.  Yes, we can’t see (well, some of us can hehe!) the energy body, but it is there!  It works in tandem with our emotions and physical body.  Part of leading a healthy life is to exercise, right?  The same goes for clearing our energy and balancing our chakras.

As we go through life, we deal with daily stress, emotional stress/trauma, anxiety, work, depression, among other things.  What can happen is that this emotional energy will sit within your energy body and become stagnant.  As it accumulates over time it can start to feel more dense and even possibly affect the physical body.  Even if we have started with some energy work, it is important to keep up a regular schedule so that we can maintain a clear energy body.

Ideally, everyone could work on their own energy body and clear their own chakras, on a daily basis much like exercise.  It doesn’t take long at all once you get the hang of it.  If someone decided to work on their energy body themselves, from 3-5 times per week I would recommend them to see a professional healer once a month, maybe once every 6 weeks.  This will ensure that the healer picks up on anything that that person missed.

Unfortunately, most people are not this disciplined with their energy clearing.  This is OK!  No need to get down on ourselves about this.  What this means is that I would recommend booking more regular sessions with your healer, perhaps every 2-3 weeks.  You can choose to continue this course of action and eventually work yourself up to more regular clearing on your own, with monthly follow ups with your healer.

My regular clients notice a difference when they come for their scheduled sessions. They feel lighter, energized, happy and see movement within areas of their lives. I always encourage working on their own, and seeking out guided meditations to listen to at home in between their sessions.  It’s important to become self reliant with your energy clearing, and as a healer, I am here to help you towards this goal.

Having said that, although I believe that you can be self reliant with your energy clearing, it is important to go to see a healer on a regular basis.  They will see things you don’t see and they will help you with your spiritual, emotional, mental and physical growth.  Regular energy work can also speed up the process in moving forward.  This is a great side effect!

I am here to help you on your journey, no matter where you are in this moment.  Book a session with me today.

I’ve decided to put out a Level Two Reiki class for those students wishing to take their healing skills to the next level.

Level two was a fun class for me, actually I think I enjoyed level two the best.  We are a little more interactive and hands on in level two.  I was nervous about this when I took my level two class, so now that I teach it I ensure that I create a really open environment so that my students feel comfortable and at ease when learning.

In level two, you will learn two very powerful symbols, one of which is for Distance Reiki.  You will learn how to write them, and how to direct their energy during your healing sessions.  We will do a guided meditation to clear out blockages and help you to get to the next level in your journey.

In this class we will explore hands on treatment of others and really dive into the symbols and what they can do for you and others.

We will also be covering setting up your treatment space and Reiki client sessions for those who wish to focus on their practitioner training.  Students who successfully complete the class will receive a Level Two Reiki Certificate.

Pre-requisite:  Reiki Level One, 21 day self healing cleanse, 8 hours of practice time on others.

Trying to figure out which crystals/stones to use to help open, balance or boost chakra power can be overwhelming when first starting out.  There are so many different options to choose from.

I found this beginners guide from energymuse.com that can help you pair up a crystal to the chakra you are working on.  Choose one of the stones that best resonates with you and hold it in your hand or place it on the chakra when meditating.  Make sure you clear/program the stone before you use it.

What stones are your go to stones for clearing/balancing your chakras?  Let us know below!

Reiki Level One

Available to 4 students, this level one Reiki class will provide a deep understanding of Reiki and the importance of the Self – Healing energy this level brings.

We will discuss the history of Reiki, as well as learn self healing techniques and hand placements. There will be a relaxation meditation taught to help you on your way. You will also receive your first attunement, which includes the first powerful Reiki symbol.

Students will be given practice time to become comfortable with using the first symbol and the strong energy it harnesses. We will practice self healing as well as healing on others. Students who successfully complete the class will receive a Level One Reiki Certificate.

When starting out or continuing our spiritual path it’s important to be clear on why we are doing this.

What is the outcome?  Short term or long term goals?

It can be easy to lose sight of why we are working on growing spiritually if we don’t have a reason or multiple reasons why.  If you are feeling stuck on your path or not sure where to go with your own personal growth take a look at why you may want to make changes in your life.  Some examples of a few “why’s” are:

• to heal from the past or present
• to find your purpose
• to build a business
• to relieve stress or anxiety
• to create more happiness in life
• to create better relationships

When we have our goals or chief aims defined it makes it easier for us to look at the steps involved in getting there.  One of the first goals I started out with was to heal from my past and present.  So I took that goal and I asked myself, “Where do I go from here?”.  When you ask that question, you will more than likely get an answer or many answers as to where to go next.  All you need is one step.  Then once you take that step, the next step follows.  My first step on my healing journey was to take my Reiki Level One.  From there I branched into many different avenues.  You just need to take that first step.  Whether it be to take a class, read a book, meditate, clean your house, sell your car…just take that first step.  Then you can take the next step…and the next and next.

My life completely changed after I took my Reiki Level One class.  It didn’t happen all at once, but as I needed it to.  I am still on my journey and will be until the end of my time here.  As we continue on our path our goals change, and we want to look at re-defining or changing our goals on a regular basis.  As we change, our goals will change.  It’s very exciting really.  We get to re-create or create new adventures and experiences in our lives!

This is something you can choose to do on your own, or with help from someone.  I did both.  I worked on myself through healing and awareness of thoughts, and I also received mentoring and healing from a select few mentors.  I found that this was a great combination and it worked well for me.  One thing to remember is to be patient, and kind with yourself.  Also, to understand that it doesn’t always happen with one session (this would be rare).   Once we get clear on where we want to go, there is usually some work to do energetically to clear out old energy or beliefs.  This takes time, which is great!  We are able to enjoy the scenery on the way to where we are going!

If you are looking for help with clarity on your path or with clearing out energy that isn’t serving you anymore, booking a session could be your next step!

I’ve decided to start up the Reiki Shares again and would love to see you there!  The next Reiki Share will be April 28th from 7pm to 930pm.

For those of you that have not been to a Reiki Share, what it is, is an opportunity to spend an evening giving and receiving Reiki in a group setting.  There will be a discussion period as well as a mini meditation at the beginning of the evening with Reiki to follow.

There is a suggested donation of $10 to go towards costs of the evening, but no one will be turned away due to lack of funds.

Due to limited space, please R.S.V.P. to reserve your spot.

Are you feeling stuck as a healer?  Not sure where to go next or just feeling demotivated?

As a healer one of the best things we can do for ourselves is to continue learning about our craft.  Whether we choose to work on and master one modality or look at adding a new modality to our tool belt, both avenues are good places to start.

I personally have chosen to work with multiple modalities and will continue to add to my tool belt throughout my life.  As a student of Life it is important for me to be open to new things and to keep in my awareness that I will be always learning.  This allows for change and a continuing flow of new energy to surround me.  If I find myself feeling stuck or demotivated it can be a signal or sign for me to start learning again.

When I talk about starting to learn again, I don’t always go to something new.  Many times I will go back to the modalities I have and re-learn or re-read or search out new information from different practitioners/teachers.  As a Reiki practitioner/teacher, one of the things I tell my students is to read many different books on Reiki, look at classes with different teachers, as well as sitting in on a class they have already taken with me.  There is always something new to learn or a different perspective to see.

If you aren’t drawn to one of the modalities in your tool belt, then seek out a new one.  I think one of the things that we as healers can get stuck in is feeling like we take too many classes.  That we can allow other people’s perception of “oh..you’re taking another healing class?…aren’t you done yet?” get to us.  There is no “done”. It’s time to let go of that energy and free ourselves of the perceptions of others and realize that we will ALWAYS be learning.  Learning is great, it’s exciting, it’s freeing!

Where do we start once we have decided to start learning?

It’s important to be drawn to or excited about what you are going to learn.  This will make that first jump back into learning easier.  If starting something new overwhelms you, then look at what you already have in your surroundings.  Pick one of those books on the shelf that you haven’t read yet and start reading it.  Choose the one that jumps out at you.  Call up your teacher(s) and ask them what they have going on in the next few months and see if there is something that peaks your interest.  Ask them to sit in on a class you have already taken.  There are many places to start.

Start here.  Which healing modalities peak your interest?  Let me know in the comments below!

Reiki is such a wonderful way to connect to, clear and balance our energy.  For those of you that have regular sessions done, you know the benefits of Reiki and notice how great you feel after the sessions.  Energy clearing/healing is just as important for our children as it is for us.

Our children are dealing with stress and emotions just as we are.  The stresses may not be the same, but in their world it is stress.  Just like us, they can internalize the stress or emotions.  Also, just like us, they will learn how to manage and process the stress/emotions like we did.  By learning through example from our parents.  As parents, it’s important to become aware of how we are dealing with and expressing our stress or emotions.  When there is an audience at home, that is learning from us, this can be a challenging feat.

I really do believe that parenting is one of the hardest jobs out there.  It can also be one of the most rewarding.  What I would like to do to help parents along their journey with their children is to offer a Free Reiki Workshop for children under 14.  What is this exactly?

What I will be doing is setting up, on a regular basis, a one day workshop where you can bring your children in to have a Free 20 minute Reiki Treatment.  The first one will be held on January 5th, 2013 in Maple Ridge, BC, Canada.  There is a limited amount of space available and is offered through my online scheduler.  As their parent, you will be present for the duration of the treatment with your child.  If you have any questions, please contact me here.

You can register your child/children here:

Working with gemstomes is a great way to balance your chakras.  They are believed to have the power to open, close and rebuild damaged chakras.  You can use them on a solitary basis or combine the use of them with any of the healing modalities you have in your tool belt.

Each of the seven major chakras have one or several gemstones associated with them.  It is important that when you are using gemstones, that you learn to clean, clear and program your stones, which should be done on a regular basis.

When you first choose your stones, from a trusted seller, one of the first things you will want to look at is clearing and cleaning your stones.  Since they may have traveled many miles and have been through many hands, it’s important that the stone you will be using is clean and clear.  They will then be ready for programing.

When using them for clearing or healing the Chakras, they are generally placed directly on the Chakra points but may be placed around the body to increase the flow of energy.  One thing to keep in mind is that they should never be placed on open wounds.

When we work on balancing our Chakras, this allows for a release of excess energy, redistribution of energy, or even an energy boost.  People that balance their Chakras on a regular basis often report increased energy, improved sleeping patterns, balanced emotions, and live a more positive fuller life.

We are all unique.

We all have gifts and talents that differ from each other that make us unique in what we do and who we are.  One of the things that I believe in and have told my clients, friends and family is that when picking a healer / mentor / intuitive; pick someone that you resonate with.  Choose this person because you are drawn to them, have a feeling of familiarity, trust, or comfort with them.

You might not even know why you are drawn to that person in that moment, and this is OK.  By being true to who you are, and allowing the process of finding your healer to happen, elevation happens.  You open yourself up to new possibilities, healing and vibrational elevation/evolution.

Don’t rob yourself of this experience.

Which takes me back to the fact that we are all unique.

We all have gifts and talents that differ from each other that make us unique in what we do and who we are. 

I create an environment and surround myself with people that are supportive and celebrate our success.  The competition we create is within ourselves, not with others.  I don’t believe in fear based competition. 

I believe there are enough clients for all the healers out there and there is a perfect healer for every client.

My clients come to see me because I offer something different, something that they are looking for and resonate with on a soul level.  It isn’t because of a flyer in the mail, a coupon or discount.  Not because my rate is higher or lower than others.  Not because I am better or worse than others.

For example, if you don’t want to make changes, take 100% responsibility in your life and what you have created thus far, have ulterior motives or are looking for a way to entertain yourself, then I am probably not the right intuitive healer for you.

I can help you get to where you need to be, to help you find yourself, and give you clarity on all aspects of life.  I can help you raise your vibration, release your limiting beliefs, and lead a more positive fulfilling life.  If that is what you are looking for, then I am most likely the right healer for you.

Every client and healer is at a different stage in their evolution.  It is important to find one that you resonate with, so they can help guide you in your evolution.
