Hello, Friends!!

There has been much going on lately... For many of us, our days are getting shorter, bringing more darkness with the season's change. Nature's landscape is changing at every moment with leaves turning colors, falling and decorating the ground, animals scurrying to prepare for the winter, and...for some of you...the dread of feeling those darker days attacking your emotions and motivation. For those of you that deal with SAD (seasonal affective disorder), I will be sending out some special prayers and energies for you this weekend. If anyone would like to join me in this endeavor, I'm planning on doing this Saturday morning, November 1st. in the early morning hours. If you sleep in on Saturdays, please feel free to send your good energies and intentions whenever it's convenient for you! The more, the merrier...

There are also a lot of personal transformations going on for so many of you that mimic the signs of SAD...a lack of motivation, distancing yourself from your loved ones, and everything seems to be "fighting" you...you feel like you're hitting walls when you're trying to accomplish your goals or just trying to get through the day. These are signs of going through a personal "reset," and clearing the way for a new beginning. Some of you are being asked to be still...to start truly listening to yourself, hearing what you need to be more in alignment, and things are being cleared away for you to receive the messages and blessings of your next chapter. Some of you may even struggle with feeling a sense of emptiness, even when you've been doing the work to cleanse things that may be blocking you or holding you back. Just remember...that emptiness may be representative of what's already been removed and simply waiting to be filled with new inspirations, memories and motivations. I once struggled with that exact situation during a time of massive transformation. I kept praying, exploring, meditating...trying to remove that feeling of void and emptiness from inside of me because I was mistaking it for negative things. Out of desperation, I finally asked my Higher Power why they weren't removing that junk from me after so much work. They responded with "I already have...now, with what will you fill that space?" I sat in a very profound peace and silence after that moment...

For those of you that have been keeping up with Chelsea's journey and her new little ones, we need to say THANK YOU once again for your amazing love, energy and support. Little Colin had a brain bleed the doctors were monitoring, hence the medical issues that were still being addressed. Chelsea has informed me that the brain bleed is no longer present, and both twins are continuing to gain weight in a healthy manner. We are all so, so very grateful for your love and efforts...

This year is quickly coming to an end, and many of you are feeling the need to get certain things accomplished before the calendar turns for the last time and into a new beginning. Remember that being present in the present moment will bring you everything you are meant to accomplish in this breath. I wish all of you strength and clarity in the coming days to remain present and grounded with all of the life changes going on for you and surrounding you...

Much Love,
Shelley

Hello, Friends!!

Some of you have been asking about Chelsea's situation. I've been stalling just a little in giving you an update because as you know, these situations can be delicate. Chelsea was able to carry her twin baby boys until she was about a day shy of 31 weeks. At that point, they demanded on joining us and there was no turning back. After some scary situations for any parent to have to deal with, they seem to be relatively stable. There are still some health challenges that need your loving energy, and Chelsea is healing from an emergency C-section. If you could continue to keep the entire family and the doctors caring for all of their needs in your thoughts, prayers and energy work, she sends her upmost gratitude and love for your help. She can truly feel your efforts as she's been going about this journey, and I have zero doubt it's helped bring a blanket of peace to the entire situation...

Hello, Friends!! It seems as though many of us are undergoing some major restlessness and transformations. We're feeling an imbalance in the midst of seeking peace and understanding about where we are and what we're going through. It's natural to need some down time to rest and reflect on what we're experiencing...and that can mean something different to everyone. Some people like to journal, meditate, clean, call a friend, read a book, surf the internet, embrace a healing modality, sit in silence...the list goes on. I can honestly say all of the above works for me, but the one thing that invokes the biggest relief is spending time with Mother Nature. It doesn't matter if it's hiking, biking, taking a walk, sitting in the grass and getting fresh air, kayaking, gardening or simply touching a tree. Nothing brings clarity to life's situations and personal thoughts like being engaged with the energy of the earth. This picture was taken while creek stomping and exploring at Thistlewaite Falls in Richmond, Indiana. It was this exact moment with the water rushing over my feet, when I felt a surge of peace and lucidity wash over my soul. Those particular thoughts would take much more than a post to express, but I do want to share something important gleaned from that moment.

Many of us feel we need to "fix" the "negative" things we have in our lives. It's natural to crave comfort in the midst of chaos...but what about taking a different perspective? Life is full of contradictions - joy and sorrow. Love and resentment. Success and failure. Stress and peace. Fear and courage. And we can feel all of the above at the same time. We need to embrace the contradictions of life instead of resisting them. You cannot truly understand the comfort of having food on your table if you've never struggled. You cannot truly embrace the value of a dollar if you've never been without. You cannot fully grasp the need for rest if all you ever do is work.

It's possible to achieve a state of balance where you accept the duality of circumstances, emotions and experiences, and embrace them in synchronicity to further your personal growth. These "differences" can dissolve into a state of unity where you can embrace life fully and appreciate the art of expanding your understanding of your personal path, as well as the path of those around you. It's ok to dance in the shadows and explore what needs attention, because the light is always present. Just don't forget to put everything aside occasionally and step fully into the light. Allow it to warm your soul with the Divine love and peace that you were created with and fill you with the Universal wisdom that binds us all. We are all warriors...powerful, strong, gentle and intelligent. Embrace your journey...

Sending you Love and Peace for exactly where you are in this moment,
Shelley

Hello, Friends!!

I wanted to send a huge, heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone that took a moment (or more) to send Chelsea healing energies in her time of need. We had a lovely visit yesterday at her temporary home in the hospital, and she has a special message for you. She wants to extend her upmost gratitude for what you did, and says she felt an incredible peace and calmness from the love that you sent. Her body was overcome with a stillness and her anxiety about what was happening (and what could happen) was silenced. It gave her the strength to regroup her emotions and keep calm in the midst of the uncertainty. The doctors were able to stop her contractions, and all is well at the moment. She will have to remain hospitalized until she gives birth, which we're hoping will be about 5 weeks from now. Those little ones are so spunky, and they absolutely love receiving energy! One was kicking and following my hands, and the other was curling up and rolling during a quick little treatment. Please continue to keep Chelsea, her babies, family and all the doctors in your thoughts and prayers, as the power of your intentions has played an incredible role in their mental and physical well-being. Updates to follow!

𝐂𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐀𝐥𝐥 𝐄𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐲 𝐖𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐫𝐬!!

Hello, Friends!! One of our Masters is in need of your immediate help... Chelsea had the surprise blessing of finding out she's pregnant with identical twin boys! Although we are super anxious to welcome little Colin and Cameron into the world, we need them to stay safe inside Chelsea's tummy for just a bit longer. She's only 28 weeks along and has been admitted to the hospital with some complications. Keeping those little bumpkins safe for another 6 weeks would be ideal. Please...if you could send her healing energy and strength to get her through this bump in the road, it would be greatly appreciated by everyone. Please also keep her entire family and the doctors seeing to her care in your awareness. Whether you send Reiki energy, prayers, meditate, send intentions, loving thoughts or whatever other healing modality that speaks to your spirit, please lift up this situation to your Higher Power...

Thank you and love from ALL of us, and we will keep you updated with her progress... Emoji

Sending Love and Peace,

𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐄𝐲𝐞𝐬 𝐂𝐚𝐧 𝐒𝐞𝐞

Hello, Friends!!

There seems to a common theme to many of the conversations that have been popping up lately, and it made me think of an incident that affected me quite powerfully. For the sake of where this is being posted, not knowing every soul who may read this and who has endured what kind of trauma in their lives, I'm going to leave out the painful details of the incident I witnessed as to avoid triggering anyone. Let's just say I was in a store and saw a young boy doing absolutely nothing wrong...seeming quite happy, actually, and his mother began treating him in a manner that was both verbally and physically offensive. The tirade was so loud and unexpected, that others that were closer to the situation started to intervene and try to calm the mother down. They were only added to her list of people to receive her wrath. Judging by the little boy's reaction, this was certainly not his first encounter with such behavior, but was still more than difficult and embarrassing, nonetheless.

I realized in that moment that my spirit was already sending Reiki energy to blanket the entire situation while I was humanly assessing the situation. I was given a great peace though what I was seeing was terribly offensive. The mother and son ended up walking right past me, along with those that were trying to diffuse the situation...a parade of pain. In that moment, I was given the gift of sight of things our eyes can't see. I saw a woman whose anger stemmed from a long line of generational trauma. So long, that she didn't even comprehend the pain she was inflicting herself. I could literally feel and see the abuse that had been passed on and lead to this very moment, and I felt a sadness for what she'd been through. The young man was very protected and possessed a strength I'd never seen before in this kind of situation. I was "told" he would be the one to break his line of generational trauma, and the feeling of that kind of emotional power left me speechless.

I couldn't stop thinking about that scene for many days afterwards and had started sending healing intentions out for not only them, but for anyone that has experienced any kind of abuse from another. I don't have the words to explain the depth of greater connection I felt with others who were doing the same, and whose spirits were connecting with mine as they felt and received those energies. It was a very good lesson to remember and keep in the forefront that one single person has the power to make a difference, so please don't underestimate what you can do in any given situation...even when you feel powerless. No one can stop you from sending love, and love is the greatest force in existence.

Always remember that the one that smiles the brightest can be masking the greatest pain.
Always remember that the one who lashes out in anger and rudeness may not know how to process the pain they harbor inside.
Always remember that the one you see with disheveled hair and dirty clothes in the store may have mustered all their strength to get there despite their emotional troubles.
Always remember that the one who seems the most confident may be hiding the greatest insecurities.

All of us are a work in progress. All of us are beautifully imperfect. All of us need kindness and love. Be kind. Be the love that just might make a difference to someone today. Be the light you wish to see in this world...

Sending you Love and Peace to meet you exactly where you are in this moment,
Shelley

Hello, Friends!!

Please join me in celebrating our newest Certified Reiki Master, Jalisa Kelley!! Jalisa (and the very soon to be welcomed to this world Kaden Oliver) came all the way from Iowa so we could share this special time of knowledge and meditation. It was so fun seeing how little Kaden reacted to specific conversations and energies throughout these days, often giving us enlightenment and confirmation about the topics in discussion. Jalisa will no doubt be bringing something very special to what she plans on contributing to the world of healing, and I'm so excited to watch all that unfolds for her in her coming chapters...

𝐑𝐞𝐢𝐤𝐢 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐚𝐛𝐲

Hello, Friends!!

This little one was left on the walk to my house after some crazy storms and winds passed through a few weeks ago. I don't know if he was blown out of a nest or dropped by a predator, but it was clear he was meant to be found and cared for. To be quite honest, I didn't expect him to make it. I took him in and immediately started researching how to care for baby birds while also trying to find a wildlife rehabilitator so he could receive proper attention. In the meantime, he became a part of my all day, every day routine...making sure he was warm, had enough food, changing his makeshift nest to keep him clean from his f***s, etc. It was definitely a fascinating experience (and sometimes a little stressful), and I'm so grateful the Universe had this in store for us to share. I was finally able to surrender him to people who could give him the best and proper care. I admit that I was a little sad handing him over but knew he would continue thriving as he was clearly meant to. The little bird that I thought wouldn't make it had made tremendous progress in growth and strength and even opened his eyes the day before saying goodbye. As I was wishing him well before his caretakers came to get him, he threw his head up for one last meal, and I quite happily obliged in sharing that time with him. Nature is an absolutely amazing, fascinating realm that can teach us so much about strength, resilience, and new aspects of life we may not have yet considered or encountered...

I wanted to share all of this with you because this little guy introduced me to a new experience with Reiki. I quite often get asked "What does Reiki feel like?" or "What happens during a Reiki session?" For both the practitioner and the receiver, you may feel a wide range of things. The energy given may make the practitioner's hands feel warm, hot, cold, you could feel a pulsing or vibrating sensation, tingling or "pins and needles" kind of sensation, and rarely (in my experience), you may feel nothing at all. That doesn't mean it's not working...it's simply the sensation you were meant to experience in that particular session. Some people are also more sensitive to feeling such things than others. This is by no means a complete list of what you can experience and just the tip of the iceberg of such conversation. What you experience can also depend on your receptivity, the practitioner, and the particular needs you're addressing in your session. All of these things make Reiki sessions very unique and personal, and therefore it's not possible to simply put Reiki experiences in a box with a particular label. (These are also all descriptions of physical sensations. Things can get more intense and varied when you combine this with the mental and spiritual aspects of healing.)

At one point while caring for this little one, I decided to give him some Reiki. I curled my hand over him, and very gently placed my index finger and thumb on either side of his body. Even though Reiki can be given without touch, that's what I was led to do in this moment. Almost instantly, his entire body started gently vibrating. It caught me a little off guard because I wasn't expecting such a strong, physical reaction from such a tiny little being. I only did it for a couple minutes, and he immediately settled down and slept very deeply afterwards. His whole body was more relaxed than it had been since we started our journey together. This picture was taken right after all of this, and you can see just how cozy he was. Many clients report wanting to go home and take a nap after a session, and clearly that sentiment is echoed in the animal kingdom.

Whether you are a practitioner or a receiver of Reiki, always be open to expect the unexpected... There is so much about energetic healing that can be hard to describe at times, and difficult to share with those who don't understand or believe. New experiences are always just around the corner waiting for the appropriate moment to manifest. But isn't that everything in life?

Wishing you joy and peace wherever you are,
Shelley

𝐎𝐧𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐔𝐩𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐬...𝐎𝐧𝐞 𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐩 𝐚𝐭 𝐚 𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐞

Hello, Friends!!

I recently took a little trip to Alaska to visit with my beautiful family that lives there and experience some new adventures. This picture is from the top of Flattop Mountain in Anchorage, Alaska. I wanted to share it because of the spiritual and emotional journey I took reaching the top of this mountain. Let's just say this hike was of the more challenging sort. It was a constant, very steep incline on the way up with precarious footing due to the rocks and gravel on a dirt path, and the descent was just as hard, if not harder. There were places that I simply sat down and scooted rather than fall (a third time) on the well-worn path. But the reward of the views and beauty at the top was more than worth it.

In the midst of concentrating on taking one step at a time, enjoying conversation and exchanging tired, excited smiles with fellow hikers, my mind went to a place that's hard to describe, but I'm sure many of you have experienced. To share all that happened and the amazing revelations that brought me peace would require a stack of journals the size of that mountain. So, I've decided to keep this very simple and share some thoughts that I've been "told" some of you need to hear. If this happens to be you, Dear One...take it to heart and embrace these words for all they're meant to be, for they are not mine to keep locked away.

* It doesn't matter where you are on your spiritual journey. Your journey is your own, and others may or may not understand where you are or what you're going through, meant to learn, or meant to experience. Keep putting one foot in front of the other and be confident in your own path. Keep talking to others. Keep reflecting on life. Never stop being curious...

* It's ok to not be sure about your path or where you might be headed. It's ok to not have all the answers. It's natural to be nervous about the "unknown," but remember that the unknown is simply empty pages in a book that you are meant to write. Don't be afraid to pick up that pen...

* It's ok to experience something and decide it's not for you. It's ok to experience something and decide it's meant to be. You are the one that makes the choices in what you should experience and how you react to those experiences. New things are not to be feared. They're simply part of your next adventure...

* It's ok to shed tears when things are hard. It's ok to celebrate when things go well. It's also ok to laugh for no reason or be still and completely silent without explanation. Release the bo***ge of behaving in certain ways because "someone may be watching or judging you" and embrace what's authentic in your moment...

* Love yourself. Even when you make "bad" decisions, burn that dinner, say something not so eloquently, or any other myriads of negativities we inflict upon ourselves. Love yourself. All of us are beautifully "imperfect," and therefore perfect in every way. Love yourself...

* Never allow anyone to steal your light. Never allow anyone to keep you from your destiny. Keep those in your life that help you shine. Wish well to those who don't and keep moving forward...

Wishing you Love and Light wherever you are in this moment,
Shelley
