Good Morning My Loves,

So I was thinking, it might be a good thing to talk a little bit about these things called Chakras. ⚡️If you aren’t aware of their functions or need a refresher, this little blurb just might be for you!

Chakras are energy centres in the body that are closely connected to our physical and mental health. The Sanskrit word for Chakra is “wheel;” so think of these centres as spinning energy, if you will. A cone like shape coming from the body, front and back.

Did you know there are over 100 different chakras in the body? The 7 Major Chakras, are most commonly talked about in the Western world. When these centres come out of balance, it can have effect on our physical or emotional well being.

Today, let’s discuss the Root Chakra (Muladhara)❤️

The Root Chakra is the first of the 7 Major Chakras. The main function of the Root Chakra essentially is to “ground” and “root” us🌲it is our connection to our instinctual and basic needs.

The Root Chakra is located at the base of the spine and is connected to Minor Chakras at the feet, ankles, knees and groin. It supports the upward flow of energy from the Earth and when it is open we feel the most comfortable and confident in our bodies. The Root Chakra is connected with how you relate to the world and how ambition, survival and dependancy are controlled in our lives.

If we are disconnected from the Root Chakra our bodies can manifest physical disorders that affect the sacrum, spine, excretion and sexual organs. Mental signs of an imbalanced Root Chakra can include pessimism, anxiety, depression and anger, just to name a few. Our safety and sense of security are based from the Root Chakra as well and when we experience traumas throughout our lives, these conditions can also be greatly affected.

You may be wondering 🤔What are some of the ways you can balance this Chakra?

With the Root Chakra, being associated with the Earth element🌎, connecting with nature is one of the easiest, most accessible ways to refresh and renew your Chakra’s energy. As little as a 10-30 minuet walk can do wonders to your connection with the earth, especially if you are able to find a place where you can go barefoot.👣

Ever wonder why you feel soooooo good after taking a barefoot walk on the beach? 🌊Aside from being next to water (which is one of the most healing elements on the planet,) when your feet are directly connected to the ground, that is about the closest you can be connect to the earths energy. From the time we are young, we are made to wear rubber/plastic soled shoes to “protect” our feet, yet this does cause a barrier between our bodies and our connection to the earth.

Earthing (walking barefoot,) gardening, yoga,🧘‍♀️ meditation, affirmations, dance, 💃🕺eating root vegetables and red foods (such as beets, strawberries, raspberries, tomatoes,) wearing red and carrying specific crystals such as Red Jasper or Tourmaline can all help balance the Root Chakra.

If you found this interesting, stay tuned for more tidbits on Chakras to come 🥰

Hello again my Loves!

I know, you must be thinking, twice in less than a week… 🗓️who is this girl??
Well, I’ve just been feeling really excited lately. Maybe it is the new moon 🌙, a new season🌷, new chapters beginning, but it got me thinking a lot about BALANCE. ⚖️

We balance SO MUCH in our daily schedules. Work, family, friends, our social lives, prepping and making meals, working out, maintaining our homes, taking care of our pets, our children, running here, there and everywhere, and at the end of the day, we make a plan to do it all over again tomorrow. Today, in this day and age, peoples schedules are JAM PACKED!

How often do we really slow down 🐢to take the time to rejuvenate ourselves? When we go, go, go, and give, give, give, often without refilling our own cups; our mind, body and spirit can quickly come out of balance.

You know what is able to help balance your mind, body and spirit?
YOU Got It!… it’s REIKI HEALING ENERGY!! 💆‍♀️

Reiki is the Life Force Energy that runs through all of us. During a Reiki Healing Session, the channeled energy ⚡️will go to whatever area that is in most need of healing. Talk about efficiency! Not only that, but Distance sessions only take a half hour of Your time. 🕰️

A good friend of mine recently reminded me “You only have time for what you make time for,” so how about prioritizing Your mind, body and spirit? Please reach out if you have any questions 🙋‍♀️or are interested in booking a Distance Session (or in person if you are in the Edmonton and surrounding area.)

Happy New Moon and Much love 🫶❤️

Transformation is always an inside-out process
-Buddha

Hello, Hello, My Loves,

Did you know, our energy centres (also known as Chakras) have a tendency to become blocked and unbalanced? 🧱Did you know this can lead to symptoms of anxiety, depression, insomnia, and anger… just to name a few.

As we carry on with our regular day to day routines, 🚶‍♀️it can often go unnoticed that our Chakras become blocked and unbalanced, especially if we have become out of touch with our bodies.

I remember a time where I had such high anxiety; I felt like I was constantly rushing, completely unorganized, always running late, losing my keys, phone or wallet; it literally felt like my feet did not touch the ground and my head was in outer space. 🪐🚀

When you become disconnected from yourself, from your soul, it’s a challenging place to be. Overtime we often push down emotions and burry many experiences to avoid feeling a certain way (sadness, embarrassment, frustration etc)🙈This is where our energy can become suppressed and stagnant.

Transformation🦋truly is an inside-out process, in the sense that you must be willing to make the decision within yourself, to make a change. You must decide to do the work for yourself.

Outside influences can certainly support you your efforts however, depending where you are, and who you are spending your time with, they can also enable you from moving forward. The ultimate decision to transform has to be your own. People will often hit “rock bottom” before that decision is made. 🪨

Reiki is an energy healing technique 💆‍♀️that is subtle, yet very powerful in opening and balancing the Chakras. It is a beautiful healing modality to assist in any transformation 🐛🦋process to get that internal energy flowing again.⚡️

You can be someone’s mentor🌟coach🌟sponsor🌟cheerleader🌟etc-but it is ultimately up to them to come into their divine alignment; as it is ultimately up to you to come into yours❣️ We all have to do our own work.

When you are in alignment with who-you-really-are, you cannot help but uplift those with whom you come into contact. Your value to those around you hinges upon only one thing: your personal alignment with Source. And the only thing you have to give to another is an example of that alignment—which they may observe, then desire, and then work to achieve—but you cannot give it to them. Everyone is responsible for the thoughts they think and the things that they choose as their objects of attention. ~Abraham-Hicks

Hello Everybody!!
(Writing that I hear Dr. Nick from the Simpsons in my head.) Weird how some things stick, lol and Clearly I have to work on an intro 🤣

It’s been one, loooong, hot minute since I posted anything. Being a mom to a 21 month old has been busy and social media can take up waaaay too much time….⏰

…….but, I was feeling really inspired to check in after recently having an AMAZING Distance Reiki Session with a First Time Client🤩

So this particular woman had never had an energy healing session, in person, let alone by distance. 💆‍♀️ She, like many, doesn’t like to be vulnerable in front of others, but has been struggling for some time and contacted me to ask some questions about Reiki- feeling she needs to try something new.

That’s one of the most beautiful things about Reiki, it can be done from the comfort of your own home, with nobody else present; not even the practitioner. 😮

WHHHAAAAATTTTTT?!?!?! (You might ask…) That is correct! As energy has no bounds, as long as you have a Reiki Practitioner who has been attuned to the distance healing frequency, Reiki Healing Energy can absolutely be channelled to you from anywhere around the world! ❤️‍🩹🌎

Curious about booking a Distance (or in person) Reiki Session? Wondering how it works? Please contact me with any questions you have!

Until next time💕🫶
