How to Use Reiki as A Sunscreen and Get More Vitamin D


The Reiki Muse

Reiki can be used to boost your sun protection and vitamin D absorption.  Turn the sun into your friend when spending time outdoors with Reiki.

Spending time in the sun without sunscreen is healthy, at least for brief periods of time.  That’s how our bodies produce vitamin D.  A good time to spend outdoors without using sunblock is before 10 am or late in the day when the suns UV rays are not so strong.

Popular belief holds that the sun’s radiation is harmful.  We are encouraged to wear sun block which almost completely turns off our body’s ability to produce vitamin D.  Vitamin D is important for calcium absorption and melatonin production. A lack of vitamin D has been linked to depression, certain cancers, diabetes and osteoporosis.

Reiki can be used as a form of sun screen.  If you hold the personal belief or experience of the sun’s rays being harmful, you may want to start by working with the Reiki to clear your beliefs.

Once you feel more aligned with spending time in the sun with only Reiki sunscreen, give it a try. Start for short periods of a few minutes.

How to use Reiki as a sunscreen:

Turn on your Reiki and imagine that your aura boundary is charged with golden light. Use the mental/emotional symbol and the power symbol along with the Karuna Reiki ® symbols, if you are attuned to them.

Affirm that your body absorbs only the sun’s healthy energy.  Know that you are recharging with uplifting, warm and nourishing sunlight. Feel your body getting enough healthy UV rays to support your body in producing the vitamin D it needs for your overall wellness.

Affirm and trust that your auric field deflects the harmful UV rays. Imagine your the outer layer of your aura is a UV filter. You can set this filter to allow the amount of sunlight that serves you in. Feel yourself glowing from the inside out.

While you’re enjoying your time in the sun, remember to soak up the healing and revitalizing Earth energy too. I think the Earth’s healing energy feels similar to Reiki.  Take off your shoes and soak it up into your feet.

If you are spending all day in the sun follow your own guidance and wisdom about using sunscreen. Getting sun burned is no fun either. You may need to build upon how much time you can safely soak up those sun’s rays without sunscreen. Turning on your Reiki sun shield will promote your sun protection.

Back to School with Reiki


School is in full swing again.  Are you ready for some ideas on how to make school and study time easier and more effective?  Do you or your child need to improve your attitude?  Whether you are enrolled yourself, have kids in school or you home school, there are energetic techniques to keep energy flowing freely to your body, mind and emotions.

If you’re tired of your kids (or yourself) coming home from school with chaotic, ungrounded energy, bad attitudes about home work, or just want to empower your (or your child’s) learning abilities, Reiki can help.

The Reiki Muse

Reiki helps protect your personal space at school which allows for more clear focus by eliminating distracting or draining energy.  If your child is attuned to Reiki, have her create a Reiki bubble around herself before heading to school.  The Reiki bubble can be filled with any qualities needed that day such as: confidence, creativity, happiness, or clarity.

Putting a power symbol around your child’s aura  forms a boundary that only allows loving energy in and out.  With a clear and bright space around you, you can focus on what’s important to you, without feeling others emotions, judgments, or negativity.  You could also create a Reiki shower for your child before they head to school.

You can also use Reiki to nurture positive relationships with teachers.  Send distant Reiki to your relationship with teachers that you or your child find difficult or challenging.  The Reiki can improve communication and understanding forming a more uplifting and supportive relationship.  If you don’t have 2nd degree Reiki, just write down “relationship between ‘teacher’ and ‘student’” and hold the paper in your hands letting the Reiki flow.  You don’t have to wait till a relationship has turned sour.   You can also use Reiki to bolster a student/teacher relationship that’s already positive to help keep it that way.

You’ll also want to create an uplifting study environment at home. Remember to put Reiki, including any symbols that you’re attuned to, or a Reiki shower over desks or study areas .  This will help you or your child settle into a studious frame of mind and feel good while doing homework.

The Reiki MuseReiki can help improve memory and understanding of new concepts and ideas.  If you or your child is studying for a test remember to use the mental/emotional symbol and the power symbol to assist in remembering things clearly.  For learning new ideas, you can use the second degree symbols along with the Karuna Reiki® symbol Gnosa.

Reiki can also foster more receptivity and release resistance to learning.  Using the mental emotional symbol, you can replace negative attitudes such as, “I’m bad at math.” with a more positive outlook like, “I’m getting better at math” or “I’m understanding more and more each day at school”.

If your child is struggling, remember to Reiki yourself, so you stay calm and centered.  It’s much easier to encourage your child’s learning when you’re coming from a loving and understanding frame of mind.  As a home schooling mom, I have to remember to do this occasionally too.

The Reiki Muse

Boost your child’s confidence with Reiki to help him make friends, think clearly, improve memory and be creative.  Reiki can make learning more fun with new perspectives and by creating healthy study habits.

Reiki is high vibrating energy that belongs in the class room.  Being at school and learning can be a bright, positive and more enjoyable experience with Reiki.

If you find yourself waiting for the bus, to pick kids up from school or sports practice, remember to nurture yourself with Reiki.  Remind your children to Reiki themselves too.

Happy learning!

In Light,

Christy

P.S. If you need extra support for yourself or your child, I’d be happy to help with a distant Reiki session.

The Creation and Beneficial Uses of A Reiki Shower


Have you ever wanted the Reiki to keep flowing over an area while you work on another area of the body?  Have you ever wished that everyone entering your home would clear their energy upon entering?  Have you ever desired your morning shower to clean more than just your physical body?

Try creating a Reiki shower or Reiki rain. The Reiki Muse

/

/

/

/

/

How do you make this Reiki rain you may ask?  It’s really quite simple whether you’re attuned to Reiki, level I or II.

If you’re attuneded to the second degree, draw the distant symbol vertically in the air and the power symbol horizontally below the distant symbol.  Visualize the Reiki coming through the distant symbol and raining out of the power symbol like water from a shower head.  

If you’re a 1st degree Reiki practitioner, just visualize a shower head or a ball of Reiki raining down in beautiful colors over the area you place it.

The Reiki shower will allow Reiki to flow over an area clearing and charging the space continuously.  When you create the Reiki shower intend that it remains active for 12 to 24 hours.  You can reset them as often as needed.

Beneficial Uses for a Reiki Shower

You can use the Reiki shower to clear a space in your home.  I like to leave the Reiki showers over my doorways to keep my space sacred.  That way when someone enters my home, the Reiki will clear their energy as they walk through the door.  

I just finished a long drive and sent distant Reiki ahead of myself to the part of the drive I usually get a bit tired.  Then I realized I didn’t need to wait till I was tired to Reiki myself.  I created a Reiki shower over my car right then while I was feeling good.  I kept seeing and feeling the colorful and energizing Reiki supporting my drive.  I never did get tired on my 13 hour drive.

You could try creating a Reiki shower over your house plant that needs some extra love or your garden.  Try one over your bed for a rejuvenating sleep.  Put one over your shower head and feel the extra deep cleaning of your aura. You can leave it over yourself all day long along with your protection roses.  Notice how your day goes with Reiki showering your aura all day long.

When I’m giving healing Reiki session I use the Reiki shower technique often when I want to keep the Reiki flowing over a receptive part of the body when I’m called to move to another position.

Here’s some other ideas for where to place a Reiki Shower over:

  •  cooking stove
  • campfire
  • desk for studying
  • the bathtub 
  • hospital bed
  • massage table
  • meditation area
  • TV
  • computer 
  • yoga mat
  • continuous brew kombucha

What ideas do you have for using a Reiki shower?

7 Ways Reiki Supports Overcoming Grief


Sweet Grief

With the potential to lead us closer to ourselves,

Deepening our soul connection.

Being comfortable in the void.

Teaching us to live fully now.

Losing loved ones is a natural part of the cycle of life.  Grief is the process of adjusting to a new reality. When in the state of grief we may experience very deep emotions ranging from shock, anger, sadness, confusion with moments of relief.    It may feel like someone ripped apart your aura and took a piece of you.

Remember Reiki can help with this process since it heals on all levels:  physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually.

The Reiki Muse

Lucy ~ 11 days before she transitioned.

For me personally, I lost my 15 year old dog, Lucy, in October.  She was so much a part of my daily reality that I felt very ungrounded my first night without her.   So much so, I felt a bit insane.  I cried a lot.  The Reiki helped me stay aware enough to use her death as a catalyst to consciously release any lingering grief in my system from losing my parents when I was a teen.

How do You come to terms and accept the emotions of losing someone?  Even if You are fully aware the death process is just a birth into non-physical there’s still a sense of loss.   There’s the spiritually aware perspective that we can celebrate for the loved one who’s moved on.  Yet, here we are with feelings of intense sadness. I must say even in the depth of it, I felt great excitement for the lightness at the end of the process.  I recognized the opportunity to tap deep into myself to become more fully who I am.

How long grief takes is different for everyone.  What is most important is fully allowing your emotions to move through you.  Grief moves through in waves.  Reiki can help You ride the waves taking each one as it comes.

I can sense and talk to loved ones in the spiritual plane who’ve out right told me grief gets in the way of clear communication with them.  What better motivation for allowing the energy of grief to work its ways through you, than to feel that heart connection with loved ones who’ve moved on.

Some of the symptoms of unreleased grief:The Reiki Muse

  • carrying excess weight
  •  lung problems
  • depression
  • addictions
  • over or under emotional
  • digestive troubles
  • neck or back pain
  • and more…

Ways Reiki can support the grief process for yourself or a loved one.

  1. Grief can be compounded if you’re regretting something you did or didn’t do.  You can Reiki yourself or a loved one to help them heal the past by utilizing the distant Reiki symbol.
  2. Reiki your intention of allowing the grief to move through you.
  3. Reiki the environment.  This will allow any expressed grief to be cleared from the surroundings.  It will also help clear the energy of the loved one who’s passed leaving a loving and uplifting feeling.
  4. Reiki yourself as you fall asleep or send distant Reiki to your loved one who’s in grief.  The Reiki will sooth you into sleep and help you process and release while sleeping.
  5. Reiki times You need to be at work or around others.  This will help You stay connected with yourself allowing You to be authentic.  It can create a bubble of loving energy around You making it easier to stay focused and breathe.
  6. Reiki your communication and interaction with others.  You’ll find words to express how you’re feeling authentically so others will respect where you’re at emotionally giving you space and support.
  7. Simply fill yourself and your aura with Reiki all the time.  Breathe it in and out.  Allow the Reiki to guide You in your own process.

By allowing yourself to be filled with Reiki during your grief process you’ll open yourself to finding the beauty in the breakdown.  You may even move through the process more quickly, or perhaps not.  Reiki will certainly ensure you complete the grieving process fully.  You’ll be left lighter and free.  You’ll be able to live in the now with you’re heart wide open.

In Reiki awareness,

Heal Your Shadow Self with Reiki and Archangels


Have You noticed that your shadow goes with You where ever You go?  It’s most prominent when the sun’s shimmering rays shine upon You accentuating your shadow.  Wouldn’t you rather perceive your shadow as an ally rather than a dark nemesis following You around?

What is the shadow self and do I have one?

The shadow self is the part of yourself you like to keep hidden.  It’s really not the first thing You want others to notice or the last thing for that matter.  You may even deny or repress this aspect of yourself.

When You take a deeper look into the darker aspects of yourself, You will notice how your shadow is only trying to be your friend and be of service You.  At some point in your life You may have experienced a hurt that your shadow self is only protecting You from living again.   Is that really so bad? You may have had feelings or acted in a way that You or someone else labeled unacceptable.  The shadow self is the part of yourself that You have buried and left separate from your conscious personality.

This unacknowledged and non-integrated part of yourself  may wreak havoc in your life by creating unwanted occurrences.  It may cause You to feel like a victim or out of control over the happenings in your life.  In your shadow you’ll find your guilt, shame,  unworthiness and other ‘non-evolved’ qualities. People like to project their shadows onto others, often unwilling to notice the same quality in themselves.

We all have a shadow self whether we like to admit it or not.  Do You hang out in the cloudy mists so no one notices your shadow? Thereby not fully living in the Light.   Do You judge or belittle yourself about your dark side? Or have You learned to befriend your shadow so You can dance in the bright sunlight together?

Benefits of Healing Your Shadow Self.

Befriending your dark side isn’t really that scary once you accept it’s only the part of your personality that You’ve kept in the shadows and hidden from the Light.  One of the biggest steps You can take for yourself in living a more fully enlightened life is embracing your shadow self.

Healing Shadow Self With Reiki

Once You’re not expending energy working against yourself and hiding your dark side, more energy is easily accessible for you to live in your power.   Imagine all that energy released into your full consciousness, what can You do with it?  Once integrated into your personality that old shadow energy is transformed leaving You a more bright and loving person.

With your shadow as your friend, You’re able to fully embrace your past and be expanded from the experiences you lived.  You’ll come to understand that your feelings and actions were the best You could do at the time bringing peace to You now.

Once You learn to love and embrace all parts of yourself you’ll find your life reflects more  Light and Love.   Notice how much easier it is to laugh at yourself.  You’ll find more acceptance and tolerance of others, since you’re more loving with yourself.

Using Reiki to heal your shadow self.

You can use Reiki to help heal your shadow self.  I guide students through this process in Karuna Reiki® and in the Reiki Master Teacher training.   You don’t need to be in a workshop to use Reiki  to heal your shadow self. You can activate any symbols you’re attuned to and journal or mediate with Reiki and your shadow self.

Communicate with your shadow self as a friend and get to know and understand it.  That’s the way to fully unlock the power of the positive aspects of your shadow self. You can ask the Reiki to help you realize how your shadow is trying to help and support You.  Ask the Reiki to bring the dark aspects of yourself into the light.

Asking for help from the Archangels.

Archangels are high vibrating beings of Light who have functions that help support us in our lives.  To invoke their assistance You only need to ask.  They are happy to help.  They perform well along with the Reiki.

Here is a list of angels along with their colors who can support You in healing your shadow self.  Feel free to call on one or all of them.

  •  Archangel Gabriel(copper) to help you out of your darkness and step fully into your life purpose.
  • Archangel Jeremiel (eggplant purple) will help You see and understand your life patterns.
  • Archangel Haniel (pale blue)will help shine light on your dark spots and help you see the beauty of You, helping you appreciate yourself in your perfection just as You are.
  • Archangel Michael (bright blue with some purple)helps eliminate any fears You’ve been holding.
  • Archangel Raphael (green) brings healing to all aspects of your life bringing truth and guidance.
  • Archangel Zadkiel (dark blue)allows the release of judgment and brings forgiveness of self and others.
  • Archangel Chamuel (pale green) brings feelings of peace and love and will help you see yourself and love yourself unconditionally.
Here’s to your path of love and enlightenment and allowing Reiki to support You along the way.
Reiki Blessings to You!

Healing The Past with Reiki


Have You ever thought to send Reiki to historical events?   Anyone effected by a historic event across time and space has the possibility of being restored to wholeness when you send Reiki to the past.

Imagine the healing energy going across time and space causing the DNA of everyone to be healed.  Can you feel the Reiki restoring wellness to thousands of people?  So there’s no hooks from the past eroding our enjoyment of life here in the now.

I thought of this during the movie Agora about Hypatia who was a female philosopher around 500 A.D. when the Christian Church was putting women ‘in their place’.  It made me feel very sad to think about that.  So I started to Reiki myself so I would feel better and could get the full enjoyment of the movie.   Then I thought, “Wow!  I could send Reiki to everyone that has been negatively treated by the church through out time.”

The Reiki Muse

Watching that movie is what sparked my interest in sending Reiki to the historic past.  There’s been countless people persecuted by the church, in wars or cultural feuds.  Natural disasters have altered the lives of our ancestors.  Some events that come to mind are the holocaust, Native Americans losing their territory,  slavery or the March 2011 earthquake in Japan.  Yes, even current events are historical.

Whenever a historic event comes to your attention from a movie, book or discussion, know there’s always the opportunity to send Reiki to restore wellness.  The Reiki doesn’t change what happened.  We clear and heal the energetic effects.  We have the opportunity to come to a state of peace and understanding about past happenings.  We accept and forgive the past leaving us free and whole to live in our now.

Our ancestors hand down to us their unresolved issues in our DNA for us to deal with in our lives.  Did you know that in our DNA we carry programing from at least 12 generations?  How about using some Reiki to heal that.

How might you know if you carry some unresolved issues related to the past?  Notice if you feel any heavy emotions when something historic comes to your attention.  You may even have physical reactions.  You may have dreams tied to a certain event.  Do you watch a historic movie or book and get upset with how people were being treated?  These are all indicators that you aren’t at peace with the past.

What a gift you can give to yourself and to countless others by sending distant Reiki to past events.  Just send Reiki with the intention that everyone effected by what happened receive healing from the Reiki.  You can even ask the Reiki to help release it from your and other’s DNA.

Reiki blessings to you.
