#Is Reiki Easy To Learn

so I've just binged Sk8 and it's left me wondering what would happen in season two.
Now this is gonna be a bit of a long one, so buckle in.
If we are to get a season two (and I'm definitely not holding my breath) what would be the end goal? Season one was very much Defeat Adam (after Langa learned to skate, and kind of learned to love again), and honestly I think the premise of season two would be similar; defeat the opponent (it is a shounen after all). HOWEVER, I do think there should be a secondary goal:
Reki wins a race.
throughout all of season 1 Reki never wins a race. Hell, Reki never wins anything, which is very strange as he's one of the protagonists. We see he loves skating, he's hardworking and honestly pretty good but we never see any of that rewarded. We almost see him turn into a supporting character for Langa, even as the story continues to revolve around him (not in a bad way, but more in a contrast way)
So honestly, I think Reki deserves a win, and not a win based on luck (like how the weather helped him in his race with Adam) but purely on his hard work.
and how would this work? Easy; training parallels with Joe and Cherry.
If you were to look at them, Reki seems to take after Joe (loud, brash, lovingly stupid) and Langa takes after Cherry (quiet, doesn't show off as much, doesn't want a spotlight) and while you can say that for personalities, for their skating style its the opposite story.
Joe and Cherry are the opposite dynamics of Brawn vs Brains (a tried and true trope) while Langa and Reki are Talent vs Hard-work.
Joe uses his body more, his power and instincts when he skates which is very similar to Langa, who uses he prior 15 years of snowboarding knowledge to shape how he skates. (that and i think he's a prodigy? Don't know if that's true or not)
Cherry on the other hand uses intellect and sharp precision. Which is like how Reiki uses his knowledge on building skate boards to make a board that adapts to Langa's snowboarding style and why he changed his wheels in his race with Adam. (Reki builds skateboards as a job, there is so much potential in that)
so for a hypothetical season 2 it would be nice to see this sort of training dynamic where we see Reki grow confidence in himself and it would be really nice to see he and Langa finally kiss skate together as true equals
ok rant over, sorry the moment i see any kind of opposite dynamics and character parallels i go feral

Venus in the 8th: More Observations & Tips
Tumblr media
Venus 8th House - Their sensuality is potent & is very magnetic. Their allure is contagious, and they tend to have others wanting to worship then. They could understand the dark side of money and how to make it. I see something about sex work being a thing for a few people with this house placement, but most of all it could be that you are aware of how money works in society and dont look it at from a good or bad perspective. You know that money can be made in all ways and its truly what you do with it is what counts. Hidden secrets around relationships and lovers. You might be able to spot when your lovers are walking out on you, you just know. When it comes to everyone else relationships you can see through them, something you learned during your adolescent years. Youre able to pick up on the energies of people very easy, so it is no wonder you're able to pick up things from others relationships.
I notice if you're a woman with this placement others tend to 'hide their wives/husbands' from you. They think you'll steal them, your sex appeal is extremely high so no matter what people will think youre some 'slut'. Sugar daddies may come out of no where for you guys, the 'streets' chose you not the other way around.
For some of you, you could know some pretty successful people in high places. They gravitate to your aura because it is very dark and powerful, so this can be used as opportunity. You can see into their lives and they trust you with what you know. The more higher youre up on the ladder the more hidden knowledge you tend to come across.
Gifted in the occult, you can be healers in areas that have to do with the sexual organs. Can heal others with your hands (reiki) and could also make money off this if you choose.
Last thing I wasnt to say is that you guys can have a lot of jealous women around you. Girl, guy, non binary. Doesnt matter. Its because since youre personal power comes from your sensuality it can shine light on other peoples darkness.
'Like why is this person so pretty?' 'why does everyone gravitate to them and not me?' like... they cant seem to understand what it is about you. You dont have to be some ig model or extremely attractive to be 'sexy' with this placement you ARE it. You are the embodiment of sex appeal.
Tips I would have these placement holders is to hold on to their sex appeal as long as they can because as they mature in life they'll be individuals that will try to make you turn it down. Hold your head up high & never let them see you sweat because trust me they're waiting it on it. If you have any moment where you are vulnerable thats when the vultures come through and try to attack so privacy over your self & your feelings is necessary.
If you are an artist you can sell your art and can get a lot of vendors and sponsors who want to see your stuff. I say this because people some of you with this placement may be prone to insecurity around your artwork however your passion is noticed in your work. So it should be seen in the spotlight because it gives us a chance to feel the passion and hard work in what you've created.
Another thing I will say before I end this, is that love for yourself & the world at large creates more energy for you to live off of and makes your aura stand out from the rest. You guys are actually work really well with community and you should use your magnetism for the workspaces of helping groups that need your compassion and grace.
thank you for reading <3

We don't have winter in the Philippines but itchio tells me there's a winter sale going on so why the heck not!
Cozy Town, Heaven Is Here, SoulQUEST, My Cat Is An Oracle, and Keeper of the Cards are 30%! Or you can get all five games for $20.
To my tropical zone mind, inspired by winter-in-the-movies and what my friends from the west tell me, I imagine these tabletop roleplaying games make for excellent narrative experiences in for colder months.
These games also happen to be very easy to play, so I hope you share the magic of ttrpgs with folks who haven't had the pleasure!
Tumblr media
Cozy Town is a great way to introduce friends and family to ttrpgs, and is especially a big hit with the young and the young at heart. Create a cozy town of your own and watch it grow and change across all four seasons of the year!
Tumblr media
Heaven is Here is game I'm working on that's based on Florence + The Machine's album DANCE FEVER. Play as strange and magical artists who push and pull at each other's heart strings in just the most queerest of ways possible.
Tumblr media
SoulQUEST is a ritual map-making game of exploring the self, a lyric game that is based on my experiences as a Reiki-Shaman and the soul journeys we take to discover or retrieve facets of ourselves. It's a solo game that can be played in one sitting, for those times you want a little reflection.
Tumblr media
My Cat Is An Oracle is a game you can play with your cat, or someone else's cat. It's based on the arcane and secret language of cats, and my own experience as a professional tarot reader. This game was tested extensively on my three cats, and I only melted into happy cat daddy puddles a dozen times while doing so.
Tumblr media
Keeper of the Cards is another great game for those completely new to ttrpgs or story games. If you know someone who loves magical girls (especially in the vein of Cardcaptor Sakura and Sailor Moon) then you absolutely need to play this! (Bonus points if you're trying to free them from the clutches of D&D and they seem to think all ttrpgs are difficult to learn and play, NUH UH!!!!) This comes with digital cards that guide the story, but the prompts also map to a tarot deck for some extra magic.
There's a general winter sale going on itchio, so I encourage you to check out the itchio pages of all your friendly neighborhood indie ttrpg creators!

Visualization is very prominent in the witchcraft community as a foundation for spellwork. This practice stems from The Law of Attraction, appropriative, and misinformed mystic philosophy. New Aged practices permeated actual magical practices through the energetic model. The energy work within New Age scope derived from westernized Reiki, which heavily relies on visualization and consumerism. 
Visualization is the act of imagining what it is you’re trying to accomplish, like a vision board. This requires that the headspace is nearly entirely occupied, leaving very little room for much else. Mental visual representations are also imperfect and cannot cohesively contain enough details to be of any use for spellwork. Focus (or headspace) is the aspect of spellwork that is A) Intrinsically required for conscious energy work, which is less taxing than visualization. B) The accuracy of spell & C) The channel for passion to power your spell. Without well distributed headspace, spells become ineffective at best. At worst, the spell could have a completely different effect than desired due to a lack of continuous focus and a faulty imperfect image. Beyond this, those who have aphantasia cant perform any spells that rely on visualization. Which actually gives them an advantage; however, this makes it very difficult to find spells within our community due to the common reliance on visualization. 
The Law of Attraction is rooted in classism, systemic racism, and white supremacy. The idea that you can just think about something really hard and you’ll obtain it. The idea also stems from an idealistic and proselytized interpretation of theoretical physical and quantum mechanics. This practice when used for manifestation is completely ineffective. If it works for someone, it is a direct result of confirmation bias and a system that they have a predisposed privilege in. Most practitioners think of The Law of Attraction as a means to escape poverty or find love and will take even the most minuscule financial or social gain as confirmation for their ability to manifest their desires. 
This practice also directly leads to other new age practices like Reiki, pseudo intellectualism, misogyny, appropriation, misinterpretations of ancient history, and New Thought. Like Mormonism, the New Age movement was started by Helen Schucman who was a self-proclaimed prophet that was given visions by Jesus Christ. Because of this, it was very easy for fascists to create a pipeline. Through anti-Semitism and New Thought, followers of New Age practice will inevitably begin absorbing fascist propaganda.  The practice also is quick to instill Doublethink, which leads a person to believing two very contradictory concepts at once. As an example, believing that all humans are filled with light and are inherently an aspect of the divine that deserves love and respect; while simultaneously, very prone to believing that ancient civilizations’ wonders were crafted by aliens or believing in reptilian overlords within the illuminati. This belief inherently postulates that ancient POC couldn't possibly have the intelligence or technology to construct these wonders, while reptilian overlords is a redressing of the narrative that Jewish bankers are in control of the world. 
Reiki was started in the 1920’s by Mikao Usui in Japan. The practice was immediately monetized. In order to learn it you had to pay a “Master” to “Attune” you to Qi, or the Universal Life Force. While Qi is used in a lot of Eastern Asian traditions, Reiki shares no cultural or direct connection to any of them. Mikao claimed that Reiki was revealed to him during a 21 day fasting retreat at Kurama Temple in Japan, however the temple claims they’ve never held a retreat before. Since he was a Buddhist, a lot of his faith and philosophies were introduced into Reiki. While there are claims that Mikao’s original texts are heavily based in Buddhism, these texts have never been found and authenticated. The practice's reign in Japan was short lived in that period, so Chujiro Hayashi, a student of Mikao, and his apprentice Hawayo Takata Christianized the practice so that it would be more appealing to the west. This was done by claiming that Jesus Christ performed his miracles by the employment of Reiki, or a very similar practice. In the United States, there is absolutely no regulation of the “training programs” that a practitioner must go through, and because of this the societal reflection is very much a pyramid scheme. Due to this westernization and Christianization, the practice has completely lost its original fidelity. The Reiki that is practiced today is nothing like Mikao’s Reiki. IT has since adopted an appropriated form of *Chakras and the *Kundalini. Beyond this, Reiki requires that the receiver of the healing enters a light trance state while the “Master” places their hands on their body. The issue then becomes that physical stimulation often breaks trance and meditative states. Reiki’s interpretation of energy work has permeated into modern witchcraft, combined with Visualization from The Law of Attraction, which hinders the efficiency and effectiveness of the community at large and makes it likely that they’ll succumb to fascist propaganda.

same anon about meditating- but that sounds really interesting! so what kind of spirituality is it? you mentioned an earth dragon communicating with you, so is it spiritual in the sense that it's nature you are connecting to, or is it something else entirely? what drew you to meditation and when did you begin it? sorry for the questions, it just sounds very interesting! i love hearing about this kind of deep, introspective connection people form
No worries at all, I love these questions! Feel free to ask more if you're interested. For me personally, spirituality is looking beyond the physical and what you perceive with your five senses. It's about discovering your true self and working to integrate it until you embody it completely. It's realizing that you're so much more than just a physical body. And it's realizing that you can create your own reality, and you can break free of limitations.
When I say I connected to an earth dragon, I mean an actual dragon that is an earth elemental. There are all types of dragons, but I connected with an earth dragon today because earth dragons are great at grounding you in the physical realm, and I needed his advice on a physical problem I'm having. I actually just connected with dragons recently after receiving some cool signs. Like first off, it's the year of the dragon. I ended up changing one of my pfps to a dragon on a whim. Then I was doing cloud scrying and I kept seeing dragons constantly in the clouds (by this I mean that the clouds were shaped like dragons because the dragons were leaving me imprints of themselves for me to see). And then I found out my Reiki guide is a dragon, so I'm now looking to work with dragons more closely. They're awesome to work with because they can help you with literally anything.
I actually have been trying to connect more with nature lately though. For me, that involves talking to trees, getting more plants, learning more about nature spirits, and being more respectful of the natural realm. Trees are actually extremely knowledgeable and great teachers. I was at the park yesterday and sat next to a skinny tree. I asked it if I could connect with it (you should always be respectful and ask), and I got an immediate headache in response, so I was like lmao okay fine, I get the point, you'd rather not connect. Which is fine because there are other trees that absolutely do want to talk to humans and would be happy to share their knowledge (and I'm not saying it's easy to talk to trees, but it can be done with time and practice). But yeah, nature spirits are cool as fuck.
I started meditating when I had my spiritual awakening. That was somewhere in 2022. The more I learned from spiritual teachers, the more I learned that meditation was essential to becoming more conscious of myself and strengthening my spiritual practice. A quiet mind also makes it easier to receive messages from spirit (and when I say spirit, this could mean your true self, your spirit guides, your guardian angel, your ancestors, etc.).

A year-end review is a wonderful opportunity to reflect on the past year, celebrate your achievements, and chart a course for the future. It's a time to savor the meaningful moments and experiences that have shaped your journey. However, it's not just about checking off goals; it's about embracing the full range of your experiences. As you prepare for your year-end review, here are five key elements to consider:
Your Greatest Challenges and Wins
Life is a series of ups and downs, and your year-end review should capture this cycle. While it's easy to get caught up in the highs or lows, true growth lies in balance. Reflect on your biggest accomplishments and the hurdles you've overcome. Remember, even setbacks can be valuable teachers. Your year-end review is a platform for learning, growing, and recognizing your progress, whether you achieved all your goals or not. Your journey will lend you valuable insights into what to work on next, as well as what changes you need to make to achieve your long-term goals.
2. Personal Growth and Transformation
This past year has been a journey like no other. You evolved as you faced challenges and experiences, both positive and negative. Take time to reflect on the person you've become compared to who you were at the start of the year. Life's unpredictable moments, shared memories, and challenging days contribute to your personal growth. Embrace the beautiful and profound ways you've changed, and write about your experiences and lessons in your journal.
3. Memorable and Joyful Moments
What made this year special?
Delve into the joyous memories and unforgettable moments that define 2023. These core memories are worth preserving. Whether it's a memorable New Year's Eve party, a heartwarming first date, a cozy snowy Sunday, or a hilarious movie night with friends, write them down. These memories deserve a place in your journal, so you can revisit them whenever you need a reminder of the beauty in your life.
4. Intentions for the Upcoming Year
While you look back, it's equally important to think about the future. Personal growth is an ongoing journey, and the year-end review is an ideal time to work on future goals. In your journal, outline your goals and aspirations for the coming year. What do you want to accomplish? Where do you want to be at this time next year? Also, how do you envision your life being different and better in the next 12 months? These are essential questions to help you embrace the possibilities of the new year.
5. Gratitude and Acknowledgment
While reviewing your year, don't forget to express gratitude and acknowledge those who have been part of your journey. Share your appreciation for the people, opportunities, and circumstances that have contributed to your growth and happiness. Gratitude is a powerful tool for creating a positive outlook and fostering connections. Use your year-end review to reflect on the many blessings and the people who have been a meaningful part of your life.
Incorporating these elements into your year-end review will make it a more comprehensive and fulfilling process. It's a time to celebrate not only your achievements but also the journey itself. Acknowledge your personal growth even as you look forward to the opportunities that the future holds.

Reiki blessings,

on this day in 2020, i was making preparations to finally risk the onslaught of COVID to visit my dad, who had only recently told us of his cancer diagnosis despite going through treatments in secret for almost eight months. so yeah i was packing my shit up and getting so excited to see him. and then the next morning my mom called and told me he was dead.
here are things that i have learned about grief, death, the loss of a close parent who you love
everyone knows the stages of grief. the truth is that they don’t necessarily happen linearly or terminally. you do not experience a stage just once, then move on never to return to it. the stages can happen in any order, at any intensity, and you can return at any time–often without notice. you can always return to a stage, no matter how long it’s been, no matter how healed you feel. yes, even denial. think of the stages of grief less like a tidy and predictable progression and more like the worst game of roulette.
shock. you’re in shock. you’re not even in denial yet, you’re in fucking shock. shock can last for weeks. shock is a physical condition. you are not breathing enough. your body is not sending the right signals for its needs. your muscles are catching all your trauma and holding it tight, tight, so tight in your body. expect your physical self to fall apart. i don’t mean like fainting or throwing up right away, which is common, but in the weeks that follow. you won’t eat right. you probably won’t hydrate right. you are not breathing enough. you are not breathing enough. you literally are not breathing enough.
speaking of breathing, it’s easy to do it wrong! when you are taking in deep breaths, you need to pause and hold it for 2-3 beats before you exhale. if you rapidly breathe in and out deeply, you’re just going to hyperventilate, and if you hyperventilate long enough, you just faint. pause after the inhale.
your body will hurt, once the shock starts to wear off. it will hold and hold and not fucking release. if you are able to, seek professional help with this. it’s important to seek therapy for your mind if you can, but people don’t think about the body. i’m talking physical therapy. i’m talking massage therapy. i’m talking guided yoga and meditation. tai chi. reiki. dance therapy. anything. find a somatic expert and entrust them with your pain and let them help your body.
but on that topic, if you are able, please also seek talk therapy. you need to cry to a stranger. you need to weep and cough and collapse and talk to someone you have no other social history with. you need to be able to say the worst shit. you need to be able to say shit about your loved ones. you need to be able to talk about the agonizing process of navigating the world with friends who can’t fucking relate to what you’re going through. 
no one warns you about all the administrative shit you have to do when a parent dies. there are dwellings to clean out and there are accounts to close and funeral arrangements to plan, yes, but also: there is so much business with the state. reports must be filed. certificates must be gotten. proof of death needs to be provided to this agency and that bureau and it just feels endless, and it all costs money. 
so much about death is about money. money money money. i never knew i needed a savings account explicitly for the death of a parent but my god i wish i’d been socking away money in one. 
every copy of a death certificate costs $20 + postage, and you’ll need many copies because none of these assholes will take a scan or fax. 
obituaries ain’t a given and they aren’t free and they aren’t even cheap. 3 lines of column-width text cost $150 in the local paper of my hometown. just enough to say my dad’s name, birthdate, and the address of his memorial service. i didn’t realize this and the first draft i wrote and submitted was going to cost $1200. the paper editor called me to ask me if i knew what i was doing. of course i didn’t know what i was doing. they don’t teach newspaper print obits in school.
everything happens very fast, once the death has occurred. it’s brutal and morbid but my advice would be to research funeral homes or funeral services well in advance of your loved one’s passing, because once they pass, you only have a matter of business days to get it all pulled together. figure out a place you like and what their packages cost. many of the places i called around to cost $5,000+ for their starting package. funeral directors and sales reps told me those price points over the phone as i was crying without even a remorseful note in their voice. i was able to find a small company willing to work with my family for the price of $1,350. that was the cheapest i could find. i called so many places. 
don’t even talk to me about the cost of trying to get anything (a plot, niche, a plaque) in a cemetery. it makes me ill and it will make you ill, too.
(sub-point: if your parents are still together, or apart but still have love for each other, a cute and fun part of this is looking at your surviving parent and asking them whether they want to be buried/remembered next to the recently deceased one. that’s right. hey, person freshly grieving their longtime partner, contemplate your own mortality and also figure out if you want an adjoining plot. because if you do, we gotta buy that right now. there are no courtesy holdings, sorry.)
that’s because death and dying is a business. it’s an industry. and baby, they will rob you for every penny they think that they can get from you in your time of grief. plan in advance.
you’re not gonna remember shit. it’s all gonna blur together, or feel so surreal that you will want someone to tell it back to you, later, just to understand what happened. this is why i recommend journaling, if you can, or recording voice notes, or asking a friend or family member to just bear witness with you through that first week or two. so they can tell you later on what happened.
there is more power in creating your own personal rituals to say goodbye to your loved one than there is in the socially expected ceremony via the state. you don’t have to rush these or do them on anyone’s timeline. i didn’t say goodbye to my dad until almost a year after he passed, in a private ritual i constructed in my own home.
 your friends aren’t gonna know what to say. and you’ll understand, because you won’t either. this is my advice to friends out there who don’t know what to say: share memories. share memories, please. i appreciated all the “i’m so sorry, lo”s i got, i did, but it was a hundred times more healing when people (even strangers!) shared a memory about my dad with me. even something tiny, so tiny, such as seeing him drop me off at school. this tells your friend: they’re in my heart, too. you don’t have to be responsible for keeping them alive via memory all on your own. i will remember them with you. i will help you keep them alive. 
save shit. save shit from your loved ones. i don’t mean trinkets, necessarily, but essences of them: voice mails, texts, written letters, photographs. you’ll want it. trust me. you may not ever be able to handle listening to a voice mail, but you’ll be happy that you have it. when i found a letter that my dad wrote me for my high school graduation, i felt a profound and visceral sense that he was with me. a greater connection, a sense of presence, than any other little memento or picture i had. it was such a relief. if you do not have these things, ask for these things. ask your loved one: can you write me a card? can you write me a letter? can you sign it love, mom? can we take a picture together? can i take a picture of you smiling? even if it’s awkward to ask, it will be worth it.
write long and meandering posts that you may or may not share on tumblr lol. start writing it and forget your original point. share it anyway.
because if you don’t share your pain, you can’t have real community. an awful but true fact that i have learned. if you do not share, if you do not invite people into your process, nobody can connect to you. and you need people to connect to you. even if you wish you could just be a island. you can’t be. life doesn’t work that way.

Healing
In our fast-paced world, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and caught up in the chaos of daily life. From work deadlines to family obligations and social events, it can be hard to find a moment of peace. However, finding inner peace is essential for our mental, emotional, and physical well-being. Here are some ways to find peace in the midst of chaos:
Practice Mindfulness Mindfulness is the practice of being present in the moment and focusing your attention on your thoughts, emotions, and surroundings. By practicing mindfulness, you can learn to let go of distractions and worries and find a sense of calm in the present moment. You can practice mindfulness through meditation, yoga, or simply taking a few deep breaths and focusing on your breath.
Take a Digital Detox Technology can be a significant source of stress and distraction. Take a break from your phone, computer, and social media to disconnect and recharge. Instead, spend time in nature, read a book, or engage in an activity that brings you joy.
Simplify Your Life Sometimes, the chaos in our lives comes from having too much on our plates. Simplify your life by prioritizing your commitments and focusing on what’s most important. Say no to things that don’t serve you, delegate tasks to others, and make time for self-care.
Engage in Physical Activity Physical activity is a great way to release stress and tension from your body. Find an exercise or activity that you enjoy, such as running, yoga, or dancing, and make it a regular part of your routine.
Connect with Others Sometimes, finding peace in the midst of chaos means reaching out to others. Connect with friends and family, join a support group, or seek out professional help if needed. Talking to others can help you gain perspective and find a sense of community.
Practice Gratitude Gratitude is the practice of focusing on the positive aspects of your life and being thankful for what you have. Take time each day to reflect on what you’re grateful for, whether it’s your health, your relationships, or the beauty of nature. Focusing on gratitude can help shift your mindset and bring a sense of peace to your life.
Set Boundaries Boundaries are essential for protecting your time, energy, and well-being. Learn to say no to things that don’t align with your values and goals, and set limits on how much time you spend on work, social media, or other activities.
In conclusion, finding peace in the midst of chaos is possible, but it requires intentional effort and self-care. By practicing mindfulness, simplifying your life, engaging in physical activity, connecting with others, practicing gratitude, and setting boundaries, you can find a sense of calm and balance in your life. Remember that finding peace is a journey, not a destination, and it takes time and practice to cultivate inner peace.

EMDR Trauma Therapy Saved my Life
I felt the shock of ice cold kitchen tile against my tear-streaked cheek. I laid there sobbing and screaming, the gut wrenching birth of death, the pull on my body and in my throat to capitulate to the world that my daughter died and to seemingly physically extract part of her from me now. I rocked myself upright, dizzy and spent. I feel a dog licking my face, another lying in the corner suffering her own grief. Even the dog lost weight as quickly as I drained myself of hunger, of vomit induced by panic attacks and bad dreams of Taylor dying over and over and over for two years. Now, I choose not to think of the two years before EMDR trauma therapy. I can’t believe I made it through the worst a mother can bear.
After almost 7 years after Taylor died by suicide, I’ve regained weight and so has the dog. Two years of talk therapy within the constructs of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) didn’t make a dent in my guilt. In fact, it’s been proven to worsen PTSD. CBT just couldn’t get past the amygdala’s screaming sirens of regret and blame. The therapy allows for new neuropathways that physically curb invasive thoughts and memories. Hypnosis, Reiki, meditation, medication, riding my bike, hiking, writing; all of my coping mechanisms that brought me to healing did not surpass my stuck brain but proved vital after trauma therapy.
EMDR trauma therapy, or eye movement desensitization and reprocessing addresses PTSD, complicated grief, and trauma.  I couldn’t see that at the end of EMDR, I would not incriminate myself. EMDR allowed for my limbic system to disengage from the powerful fight or flight reactions and allow for my brain to process my guilt and end my self-destructive nosedive. It moves glucose from the limbic brain to the thinking brain, the pre-frontal cortex that is fed by the breath and glucose.
EMDR mimics REM, rapid eye movement that we experience in sleep. That process of bilateral stimulation allows the brain to shuffle through the day, the pain, the fear, to categorize memories, and to grow and repair cellular tissue which can’t happen when you’re stressed. The therapy allowed for me to remove the limiting belief that I was solely responsible for my daughter having taken her own life.
A single trauma like this one can be managed in a shorter length of time than traditional therapy. The 90 minute sessions utilize easy, non-threatening bars of light or as is my preference, tiny paddles that gently vibrate in the palms of the hand, left and right and back again to mimic rapid eye movement, creating bilateral stimulation. This back and forth is why walking in nature decreases limbic response by half! The session is precision and results-oriented to identify and address the trauma, replace the limited belief with a positive image or idea, then calm the brain and body by finding and utilizing a safe place in the mind. This technique uses the familiar guided mediation method found on any meditation app. For people who have experienced abuse, more than one event, or prolonged trauma, more sessions are required but far fewer than traditional cognitive therapy sessions, which is another reason it is recognized as one of the effective PTSD therapies for veterans. CBT heightens trauma response, aggravates PTSD to a new level, and rarely helps the core issue as discussed.
EMDR allowed for me to incorporate the myriad of healing behaviors, cognitive brain training, relaxation, and growth I needed to navigate life on new terms. Trauma therapy allowed for me to incorporate the healing processes and healthy behaviors I needed to make new life experiences. I have experienced no negative side effects, decreased depression, and those haunting bad dreams and sleepless nights have ceased. It is not a cure for grief. Grieving is a necessary process. Trauma is not. Grieving and the benefits of actively healing guide us to understand our pain in the book The Grieving Brain: The Surprising Science of How We Learn from Love and Loss by Dr. Mary Frances O’Connor.
I train my brain with the same safe place meditation I used in EMDR to experience the joys around me, to choose to laugh and to have fun and to bathe in the joys of nature in the present moment. I remind myself not to avoid the pain of missing my daughter but to steer clear of the judgment of it all. We hold ourselves responsible to ourselves and we can pay attention to the souls who are living among us and the body, mind, and spirit that we have been blessed with for this short time if we can teach ourselves to trust the power of the physical body, brain, and how it all works together in life.

Tools for your Spiritual Tool Box
I love sharing practices with you that may be helpful for you. Some will feel like gold, and others may only resonate at certain times. That's cool. We need many tools to deal with life's stresses and curve balls. The challenge is actually to remember the practice when we need it the most. When we are sick or stressed, our logical brain goes out the door, so I create a list of what to do when I need support. When struggling with bladder issues, I would have amnesia about how to care for myself. I would be in pain and fear. So, I made a list and hung it in my kitchen cabinet. It said, "Take Cranberry, Uva Ursi, Marshmallow Root. Shoulder stand. Think about what's upsetting me. No sugar, spice, or caffeine. Drink lots of water. Get my anger out. Give Reiki to my bladder. Slow down to feel my feelings." Another list I had beside my bed: "I am stressed, and I don't know what to do. "I attached a picture of that list below. We need to prepare so we can get back to balance and health. What would be on your Healing Tool Box List? It's essential to keep this list handy. Please don't put it in a journal and make it challenging to find. Hang it up or put it somewhere with easy access. Learning tools and having someone to support you 1-1 are essential to thrive in life. We don't have to do life alone., I invite you to check out my Everyday Reiki Program. In this program, I work side by side with you to connect with you. With one-on-one coaching, Reiki energy and group healing, and learning from experts in the spiritual field, you will be supported to elevate yourself into your authentic expression. I am opening the early bird application process. Because of the high level of service, I have a limited amount of spots. You will receive early bird rates and extra bonuses when you sign up early.

Repeating Patterns of Destruction?
Hi there and happy Monday,
Today I wanted to share a topic that is unfortunately all too familiar for many of us: Repeating patterns of suffering. These patterns can manifest in various ways, such as negative self-talk, toxic relationships, or self-destructive behaviors, and they can keep us feeling stuck, unhappy, and trapped in a cycle of pain. However, there are ways to break free from these patterns and create a more fulfilling life. Let's dive in.
First, it's important to understand why we repeat patterns of suffering in the first place. Many people believe we unconsciously recreate past experiences that were painful or traumatic as a way to gain mastery over them. In other words, we try to rewrite the story of our past by repeating it, hoping that this time we can control the outcome. However, this often leads to the same negative patterns repeating themselves over and over again, keeping us trapped in a cycle of suffering.
So, how do we break free from these patterns? 
Here are some tips:
Mindfulness meditation: Mindfulness meditation can help us become more aware of our thoughts and feelings, and create space between them and our reactions. This can help us break free from automatic, unconscious patterns of behavior and allow us to make more conscious, intentional choices.
Affirmations: Affirmations are positive statements that we repeat to ourselves to help shift our mindset and beliefs. By replacing negative self-talk with positive affirmations, you can reprogram your subconscious mind and create a more positive, empowering inner dialogue.
Spiritual Coaching: Coaching and especially Shadow Work can help us identify and process the root causes of our repeating patterns as well as provide us with tools and strategies to break free from them. Spiritual coaching along with energy medicine can be very effective in helping individuals overcome repeating patterns of suffering.
Self-care: Taking care of ourselves physically, emotionally, and spiritually can help us build resilience and reduce the likelihood of falling back into old patterns. This can include activities such as exercise, meditation, spending time in nature, and engaging in creative pursuits.
Breaking free from repeating patterns of suffering is not easy, but it is possible. By being mindful, using positive affirmations, seeking a coach, and practicing self-care, we can create a more fulfilling and joyful life. Remember, you deserve to be happy and free from suffering.
At Serenity Reiki Clinic, we offer energy sessions and coaching to assist you in this process. I'm also in the process of developing a free 10-day email challenge to show you how you can easily end this cycle of needless suffering. It will be out this summer, so stay tuned.
Other News:
-The Reiki Clinic was invited to join Recast TV. We will still be on Youtube, but will offer new content on this platform. Our channel is here:  https://share.recast.tv/u/8gPr3?referrer=8gPr3 If you want to follow us. 
- I should have the UK July dates for Reiki I and Spiritual Reiki locked in next week. I will also be seeing clients in person (how exciting!) and of course making videos. 
-We opened up another day for Spiritual Reiki Attunements in Amsterdam! (Email for info)
But now this post has turned into a novella and I really need to get back to work, lol 
Have questions or need more Information? Email me! 
Reiki Blessings,
