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,
Shelley

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.

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,

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

𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐁𝐞𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐝…

Hello, Friends!! It's good to be back after a little vacation... Have you ever had one of those moments where without even thinking or trying, you feel yourself weave into the flow of the greater energies that connect us all? We're all always connected, but we often allow "everyday life" to distract us from the thoughts and feelings that come with that enlightened perspective. I took this picture shortly after the following happened because I always wanted to remember this particular moment in time. I was on calm waters in a kayak and was just allowing the water to carry me where it wanted, my eyes closed and enjoying the sun on my face and light breeze around me. I could suddenly feel Reiki energy burning in my chest, and it very quickly grew hotter and flowed to all other parts of my body. When it reached my head, it was like a switch was flipped and I was suddenly no longer with my human self on a kayak in the middle of a river. I saw and felt everything all at once but could see each specific message and memory as clear as day. It was very much like quickly flipping through a photo album and watching snippets of home movies. No matter what I saw, all I felt was incredible peace and the greater perspective. From all of this, there are few very random things I want to share...

Many of us are grieving the loss of a loved one. Have faith that the pain you feel from the loss of their physical presence is nothing compared to love and beauty you will experience from their confirmations of spiritual presence and the reuniting of our souls.

Many of us are struggling with health challenges. There will come a time when none of them are present, and you will be free of your limitations and worries. No matter the timing, use your every breath to learn and experience all you can of this life.

Many of us are dealing with broken hearts or disappointing relationship circumstances. Be grateful for the lessons learned and the growth you'll endure. People are often removed from our lives when others are meant to arrive in our next chapter, and/or to go deeper within ourselves.

Many of us are frustrated with not making the progress we feel we should with reaching our plans and goals. Take a breath and look at the bigger perspective. There's always something that needs to be learned, experienced or healed before moving forward if we keep hitting a wall.

There's no such thing as "coincidence."

Pay attention to the way your body responds when making decisions or speaking to others. Does it feel good or bad? Does it flow or feel like rough waters?

Appreciate the life cycle of the dandelion and remember that what's a w**d to one is beauty to another.

No matter what you're experiencing in this chapter of life, remember that each memory is a line on the page. Your story will continue page after page after page...so keep living, keep writing! Wear silly socks, eat that piece of cake, laugh with your loved ones, cry when you feel like it, learn new things, don't let fear be your copilot, remember that being still is NOT being lazy, and allow your spirit to dance free like dolphins in the ocean.

Love and Peace to You and whatever joy or challenge you're experiencing in this moment...

𝐑𝐞𝐢𝐤𝐢 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐓𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐋𝐢𝐟𝐞

The Tree of Life is a familiar symbol that is represented in many different aspects of life, including diverse cultures and religions. It has many significant meanings, but my favorites are its representation of interconnectedness - the connection between our physical earthly realm and the spiritual realm, and the representation of birth, growth, death and rebirth. This is a cycle that we are constantly engaged in within our physical, mental and spiritual selves.

Reiki is a Japanese technique that brings balance and peace to our physical, mental and spiritual selves in a deep and undeniable manner. Reiki doesn't care what religion or aspect of spirituality you practice, or even if you're unsure or don't have the words for what you believe. Reiki doesn't care what language you speak. Reiki doesn't care about the color or your skin. Reiki doesn't care about your sexuality, your political preference, what you do for a living or what clothes you wear. Reiki doesn't question your "mistakes," or choices, or pass judgement on any aspect of your life.

Reiki is only Divine Love. The more you engage with Reiki, the deeper the healing. The deeper the understanding. The deeper the peace. The deeper the love. The greater the perspective.

Reiki is for EVERYONE, regardless of who you are or where you are on your journey.

Because of this unique and all-encompassing energy that brings such divine change, as well as connects us with one another both here and in the spiritual realm, the Tree of Life has been chosen as the new representation of the Reiki Center of Indiana. You will see this symbol start appearing on business-related items as we move forward with changes and growth.

Please be kind to one another. We are ALL in a cycle of growth, death and rebirth. And please remember to be kind to YOURSELF...

Sending love, light, peace, respect and even more love for wherever you are on your journey,
Shelley

Hello, Friends!!

There are no words to express the amount of gratitude I have for the time we get to share together, the conversations, the incredible experiences, and the spiritual revelations that keep divulging more and more connections and knowledge on this journey we're exploring. As a way to say thank you and give back a little, it brings me so much joy to introduce 2 benefits that have been implemented with the business. The first is a loyalty program. When you grab a loyalty card and have it punched with each of your visits, you will receive 10% off your 6th visit! The second is a reward for you AND someone you know when you refer a friend. There are places on the back of the card for you to write your name, as well as the name of a loved one. When your loved one turns in the card, you BOTH receive 10% off your next visit!

I look forward to seeing you, sharing with you, and adding to the depth of this life together...

Hello, Friends!! I hope Spring is bringing you plenty of beauty to enjoy with the brilliant green grass, trees popping and flowers blooming from their winter's slumber. I just wanted to give you a quick update on the classes available in May. After much thought and planning, I will be taking a small break from offering classes during the month of June and possibly July. My plan is to get back on track in August at the very latest, so a new posting for the following months will come soon. There is much work being done behind the scenes to be able to move forward with growth and services, so this small break will allow me to focus on those changes and bring them to fruition. I am still accepting private students as can be scheduled. Please see the class information for May listed below and do not hesitate to reach out with any questions.

𝗥𝗼𝗮𝗱 𝗖𝗹𝗼𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲:
For my clients that come from the far east side of town, please be warned that there is a road closure that may impact your route on 56th Street. There is a section of road closed on 56th Street that stretches from just west of the Cornerstone Baptist Church (west of German Church) to Pendleton Pike. You CANNOT access Pendleton Pike from this direction. If you are utilizing German Church to get to 56th Street to get to the office, you will want to turn west on 52nd Street, and then north (right) on Mitthoefer Road. This will lead you back to 56th Street and bypass all construction. If you are heading east on 56th from the office, you CAN utilize Pendleton Pike from this direction if that suits your needs. Otherwise, you will want to backtrack by turning south (right) on Mitthoefer and left on 52nd to get back to German Church. Hopefully the project they're working on will be completed in a timely manner...

We have been sharing so many incredible conversations and experiences with this great shift we're going through. I just want to say THANK YOU to those of you that have been so open and forthcoming about the changes you've been going through, the new revelations surfacing, and the beautiful understandings of the synchronicities in your lives. I'm beyond grateful to have such amazing people in my life that are so willing to share the details of their journeys...the good, the hard and extraordinary. I'm so looking forward to everything tomorrow brings...

𝐀 𝐃𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬

Hello, Friends!! Wow... You really truly never know what life will present for you to experience on any given day. I was recently challenged with a situation that was so unexpected, it took a while for the reality of it to sink in. Someone who had very deeply hurt me (both mentally and physically) in the long ago past approached me with the intention of apologizing and asking for forgiveness. For some of us, that sounds like a dream come true. For me, it ended up being a dance with more emotions and revelations than I can put into words.

The amazing thing about Reiki is that is always brings to the forefront what needs healed the most. That could be an emotional, spiritual or physical issue, or usually some combination of the three. With this particular person/situation, I had already used Reiki to bring me to what I believed was a place of forgiveness. But I realize now that was just the prologue to a much deeper story that had yet to be written. Healing is a journey that often happens in "bites," with what you're able to comprehend and reflect on in the moment being the focus. You are often shown new perspectives on the traumas you experience as your healing journey moves forward. It feels like a new understanding. It feels like peace. And it is...but that doesn't mean the journey has reached its completion.

We often give forgiveness because someone regretfully expresses their wrongdoings and an explanation of their behaviors that lead to the pain caused by the situation. We are naturally compassionate beings and long for peace, so forgiving them seems like the "right" thing to do. Sometimes we say we've forgiven someone when we truly haven't, and our personal emotions are placed on the backburner because "we forgave them" and the situation should be resolved. There had been much time and understanding passed since seeing this person, so I was surprised at my reaction to their asking for forgiveness. I thought I would welcome such a conversation, anxious to hear what they had to say after so many years. I was wrong. I was defensive and found a long-lost anger simmering within me, even though I thought I'd made peace with the things that caused those emotions. I believe I had for what it was worth...up to that point. As we learn, grow and expand our knowledge throughout our journeys, we're often confronted with new perspectives because we're better equipped to handle the revelations they bring.

I didn't want to lie to this person or myself by saying I forgave them in that moment. I asked if I could have some time to reflect on what was said and my own emotions before responding. They were gracious and patient and said I could contact them whenever I was ready. The first thing I did was take a few deep breaths to process what was happening. Where does one even begin when a situation and subsequent chain reaction of emotions was spread over decades? I asked for guidance from my Higher Power and started listing the various emotions that came from different aspects of the situation, how they evolved over time, and how all of that was affecting the present day. Anger and defensiveness are REACTIONS to something else...in this particular situation...pain. Where does the pain come from, and why do I still feel it? What exactly is unresolved?

With more Reiki and much reflection, I realized that in my younger years, I had buried pain very, very deep. You learn quickly how to put a mask on so everyone in your world believes you're "just fine." This mask becomes a shield that protects you from having to be vulnerable with how you're feeling, who you really are and how you're secretly changing on the inside due to unresolved trauma. I was always blessed with the ability to see things from other people's points of view, and that ability grew stronger with age and experience. It was that ability that allowed me to have understanding and even compassion for those that hurt me over the years. It doesn't mean I didn't hurt, but I justified their behaviors through "understanding" why they would cause others pain.

This understanding was actually part of my downfall in learning how to fully forgive or even forgive myself at times because what I WASN'T doing was releasing my own pain and emotions by justifying another's actions. I simply buried them deeper or didn't give them the proper love and attention to release them in a healthy manner. It certainly helped get me through hard times, but it was quickly becoming apparent this current situation was more than just a past hurt looking for forgiveness. It was meant to open up new doors of understanding, healing and freedom within my own spirit...not just theirs. It's incredibly beautiful to see a situation that has haunted you and another in different ways come full circle with mutual growth, peace and new perspectives.

When I contacted this person in response to their request for forgiveness, I was overwhelmed with a feeling of gratitude and peace for everything this particular chapter of life brought to the table...the pain, the emotional lessons, the journey of healing and understanding that took on more perspectives than I can explain, and a sense of closure. There was an incredible weight lifted and shift in my spirit when I could truly and honestly say "I forgive you." I've always believed there are lessons to be learned from our challenges and stresses. This situation was no different. Though it took many years to run its course, it's proof that we never know precisely what's in store for our journeys. Embrace the unexpected...

Wishing you love and peace for where you've been, where you are, and where you'll go on your journeys...
