Until then, I was much pleased to find this post by Neale Donald Walsch for today.

…that happiness, that grand mistress of the ceremonies in the dance of life,
impels us through all its mazes and meandering, but leads none of us by
the same route.

This quote speaks directly to my thoughts about our paths to enlightenment. No one has the same exact experiences in the exact same way at the exact same time. Even when the enlightenment of many is spontaneous, how they came to that point is not the same. May you follow your heart on your own journey to enlightenment and may that path be filled with happiness and peace.

Reiki is part of our awakening. Connecting ourselves to this life force energy with an attunement is a way to start a self-care practice. Its ease of use and gentleness has allowed it to become a gateway modality into the world of complimentary alternative medicines. It is for everyone and should be taught in our schools and used at home or work consistently and not just for healing. Think about it. If we can channel life force energy into our bodies to help us feel better and heal, then why couldn’t we channel it for other uses? It turns out that we can. For example, our home and work environments have a palpable energy to them. Reiki channeled into these spaces creates a clean, safe and welcoming environment in which to live or work. Imagine the calm learning space teachers can set up for our children in the classroom by implementing the use of Reiki on a daily basis. And using it in clinics and hospitals is extremely valuable as well, not just for the patients but for the space itself.

I’ve personally witnessed results using it as a way to clear and protect a space. With the intention that only persons for my highest good be allowed entry to my home, I ceremonially used Reiki to clear and then create a protective barrier at my front door. I was then intrigued by noticing who would approach my door and who would keep their distance. It was obvious my protection was working as it was keeping those I felt uncomfortable with away. I’ve also used this technique at my office I was sharing with a co-worker. We found one of the managers speaking to me from the doorway rather than entering the space.

Using Reiki on our pets and other creatures is helpful and often sought out by the animals. I know a woman who uses her Reiki on horses regularly with excellent results. She also has other barn animals who will plop themselves down right in front of her when they are not feeling well. They won’t leave until she gives them Reiki. She notices improvement in them the next day. And don’t forget our plants; they love Reiki too. I once experimented with poinsettias by giving regular Reiki to one plant in particular. The plant given Reiki grew bigger, healthier and more beautiful than the others. I took that plant home at the end of the season and it lived with me another few years.

If you’ve been attuned to Reiki, I encourage you to experiment and play with it beyond placing your hands on yourself or a friend. You can add life to your food and water by giving it Reiki. Give Reiki to your pets or garden. Sweep your hands in a space as if you were using a broom to remove unwanted energy and then infuse it with good energy. We feel better and perform better when our space is clean and clear of unwanted negativity. When we practice these techniques in our daily lives, we’ll begin to notice the improvement of our environment and living space. It will raise our awareness to the energies around us at all times. If you haven’t been attuned to Reiki, give it a whirl. What have you to lose?

Stay tuned for the unfolding of this grand adventure!

Hello, my name is John Muir. I have found the clearest way into the Universe is through a forest wilderness. Let me tell you about how I experience nature. I love the out of doors. I do not understand how those city folk get along in a life without the experience of being in nature. In every walk with nature, one receives far more than he seeks.

I had heard about this valley with high granite walls like no man-made cathedral and the grandest waterfalls you ever laid eyes upon. I have travelled to that valley many times and found that is no lie. I go there frequently between bouts of being drawn into city life with all its encumbrances. They call this valley Yosemite.

It is not unusual for me to take off for weeks or even months with my tiny sack of supplies because you see, I have no thought for safety for I have an enormous trust that things will turn out just fine. I like to go on adventures and explore. It is in nature that I find my solace and rejuvenation and it is where my soul is fed like nowhere else.
I remember when I first laid my own eyes upon those majestic granite cliffs with their cascading waterfalls. I stood in pure awe, without words, for the feelings that coursed through my heart and soul could not be contained by words. Such beauty cannot be described, only felt. I walked right up to the base of that tallest falls in the valley. The roar of the water incessantly pounding the rock made my ears ring. I then hiked all day to the top of that fall and got as close as possible to the water worn smooth granite edge just to get a taste of the experience of what the water must feel like as it leapt from the edge. I’d follow those drops down, down as far as I could with my eyes and senses. Ohhh the freedom.

I then found a way to scurry out on the wet slippery rock to go into that space behind the waterfall. Nothing behind me but slick, wet rock with a mossy fur and nothing in front of me but a wall of water rushing north to south. The damp smell somehow pleasing as a cool mist covered me head to foot. This was especially nice since it was a hot bright sunny day. From this place, behind the waterfall, all else is silenced. Only the rushing air pushed by falling water and its crash onto the rocks below can be heard. And, in this sound, is found the song of the waterfall. They say God is heard in music, and I hear music in the song of the waterfall and so I believe God must be in that waterfall.

I recall another day I heard nature’s song. I felt a storm brewing so I went out and climbed the tallest tree I could find and sat in it so I could experience the sway of the trunk and the slapping of the branches upon my face as the fury of the air element blew by. It’s swoosh through the canyons and across the tops of the trees filled my ears like the wildest of symphonies. God must be here too, for the song of the storm was gloriously loud and beautiful in its might.

The best song of all though can be heard after a day’s long journey up to the top of a split granite dome. You can see the edge of the Universe from up there and down below, the Yosemite Valley is stretched before you like a fine living canvas, except no painting can capture the real song of this view. The breeze in your hair, the small of fresh air, the sweat on your brow and the sturdiness of the rock gives way to the spacious song of all of nature in one place. I then had the realization that no one will ever experience this magnificent view exactly like I had just seen it. It is another moment, among many, between me and God, and there are no words, only feelings of delight, awe and gratitude.

I become nature as I explore it. I listen to what it tells me for it has wisdom far beyond my own. What would man be without nature? Without its pristine state preserved for future generations? It is my wish that all have a nature experience for there is no other experience, in my mind, that would compare in its greatness. To me, being in nature is my church, it is where I commune with my maker. So go, climb the mountains and get their good tidings.

In the end, the work has been worth it.  This site now reflects the current me and will be updated regularly to reflect that me.  I hope you enjoy it and find it useful. 

Much love and many blessings to all,

KJ
