In my classes I use a black tourmaline crystal as a sharing stick. I adopted the practice as a way of allowing everyone a chance to speak and be heard. It is a way of creating community and connection in a very short time. What started out as an inclusion of a practical nature, has [...]
Spring begins in the depths of winter. There is always the hidden promise of warmer weather and easier times. Just like the seasons, our lives are just cycles within cycles. Our wishes begin manifesting not when we receive them, but right in the moment of decision. Right at the moment where we begin to think, [...]
I love little independent cafés. They are geared down sanctuaries for our city-life. Little eddies of time in the fast flowing pace of modern, twitchy life. These little shops have a personality. They have character. The feel like a cozy tea and good book. They allow us the rare opportunity to connect. Not plugged in [...]
I had the recent joy of being attuned by my Master level students in class. It is such a pleasure to be the receiver. This is especially sweet since I spend so much of my time teaching. Getting the chance to receive Reiki is bliss. In an attunement to Reiki, a tremendous amount of ki [...]
In just a few minutes, Reiki can change everything. Shifting longstanding patterns and leaving behind peace and possibility. Yesterday, I was stuck, not quite writing, not quite stopped.

The other day my darling husband found this hilarious web series. These two women have impeccable timing and brilliant smiles. It is seriously one of the funniest things I have watched this year. Enjoy! :) http://youtu.be/8UZJRR8OHhY
So, a funny thing happened the moment I decided to return to blogging daily… It crashed. My website, it crashed hard. My access to the backend of my site was completely FUBARed. Even now, I am not sure if my words will just pop into the ethereal internet abyss. I am a huge fan of reading the synchronicities [...]
I say this every time I teach Reiki, “I love this one!” And I really do. Each class offers it’s own source of revelation and inspiration. There is working through the material, sure. But the sharing that happens in every class always has something to teach me. I’m always excited to learn something new. As [...]
