Happy new moon 🌚 Yesterday I went underground into this cool mystical crystal cave and it was like moving with or reconnecting with ancient healing energy from the rocks, crystals, and also the water that flowed through it. It was all divine…but the best part was at the end climbing these stairs out of the other side towards all the plants and sunlight and this green heart shape opening in the rock! ✨💚✨

We’ll have our first meditation of the year tonight on The 5 Reiki Principles, please join us if you can!✨🙏✨ No Reiki training is necessary so you’re welcome to simply “sit in Reiki” with an open heart to receive.

To an exquisite year of leaving my cocoon of solitude and connecting IRL with *so* many beautiful kindred souls ❣️

After such a moving year, I must say: we cannot shed our old skin alone.
And also *oof* that reverse shock… yikesy, ouchy, oofoofoof!!! 😅

But all the hugs, laughter, and love carried me through, and I couldn’t be more grateful for those deeply loving hearts. Thank you for your kindness 😭💗

Before I left, a student here gave me Reiki one day and said she saw me like Doraemon, opening a door to another place, and then another. And omg… she wasn’t kidding.

Each meeting, whether in a group, or one-on-one over tea, dinner, or on a park bench just us, was another place. A whole world created out of magic and thin air.

How exciting and mind-boggling, and full of the *stuff of life* these moments are that we get to share with our beloveds.

It’s all *ichi go ichi e*, a once-in-a-lifetime experience, never to be repeated in the same way again ❤️
A treasure of treasures.

Happy New Year, and may this new beginning be filled with tremendous laughter, love, and blessings like never before.
Cheers to taking flight yet again (smoother and less shocking!) 💖💖💖

This month I had the great privilege to teach Reiki for the 25th time❣️ It was a gift w/in a gift w/in a gift! The journey from preparation which is a full-body experience to the 5 day class, a retreat into Love in all ways, and the weeks that follow getting to witness everything land and fall perfectly into place with new eyes and a whole new heart: was/ remains a gorgeous memory and also beyond words. Congratulations to the new and returning students for completing this class❣️👏👏👏💗💗💗🎉🎉🎉❤️❤️❤️and thank you to Reiki for this opportunity to teach just one more class to end this year of celebration with so much light🥳🎉🎊💖✨

✨ Happy Winter Solstice ✨

Tonight at 8pm EST, we’ll gather for our final meditation of the year on the 5 Reiki Principles.

This solstice offers us a sacred pause, as well as a tender time to let the stillness of the night bring to surface whatever is ready to be released, acknowledged, and/or simply witnessed
just for today.

As always, we’ll close with the final principle on kindness.
Kindness is undoubtedly the heart of community, a
space where connection is felt just by being there. So we could say kindness is the gift of your presence.

With every ending comes a beginning, and there’s no softer, wiser place to land, and begin again, than kindness.

If you feel called, please join us this evening 12/21 @
🕯️ 8pm EST

The magic of leaves turning into dust is just incredible. I could look at one for hours and happily get lost in it. 🍂 I’m not sure if it started from here or not, but I once took a Butoh class many, many moons ago in NYC, and the teacher asked us to move like a leaf decaying. I don’t remember how I moved, or much else about it, except that thinking about *being* a leaf was a revelation in itself. I’ve never seen leaves, or myself, the same way again. 🙃🍁❤️

Anywayyy, in the spirit of living the magic we see, and uncovering more of our own unique beauty and truth, I’ll be holding another **Meditation on the 5 Reiki Principles** this Sunday, **Nov 16th @ 8pm EST**. 🌸

It’s open to all, no Reiki training required. The first one was held last month, and I have to say, sending Reiki to our anger together was so healing. I left with a deepened sense of self-respect that felt miraculous, cleansing even. The words “our anger is just as important as our peace”were shared, and the entire hour felt like a true testament to the power and simplicity of Reiki.

I’m curious how it will be to hold it again! How would it feel to think of ourselves as Reiki, and also each other? What more is there to uncover about who we truly are? 🌕 Some food for thought. 💖

**Exchange:** $5

I saw this first sakura blossom yesterday! In November! The leaves were only starting to turn, like the flower jutted forth from another time no interest in following any direction at all. In every season is every season, even blossoming in the fall. #🌸

A few years ago a new Reiki 1 student asked one of the best questions anyone has ever asked. It was during an online student practice, and even though it was so simple, it’s stayed with me throughout the years.

She asked, “how do we bring the hands up to our head”?
(The top of the head is a Reiki practice position).

In the moment I answered it with a surface level answer, something about bringing the head to the hands if that’s what it took.

But I’ve realized that beneath the surface was an even deeper query that I wasn’t yet equipped to answer. What was really being asked was: “How do we believe that the effort required to do something uncomfortable and challenging is worth it? Or, how can we trust that something so simple can actually bring something divine and loving into our bodies and lives?

It was a question of belief.

The truth is no one can answer this for us. That kind of belief, or knowing, can only come from experience which comes from practice, and through allowing ourselves to be challenged.

Reiki will always challenge or ask us to grow in ways gentle and loving. But we have to literally reach out for Reiki when in need, and in a sense meet it halfway. Because sometimes that small act of reaching up/out is the very beginning of believing. 🙌💗

For anyone who’d like to learn this simple folk healing art of Reiki w/ other beautiful souls in a small student-centered setting, we’ll have one more live virtual class this year on Dec 4-8✨*The last day to register is November 1st!* Kindly reach out if interested as a new or returning student; this is going to be a realllly special one!! ✨🪩🌝

For my first classes in Okinawa I printed out the 5 Reiki Principles in Japanese for each student on little pieces of paper to hold close. I remember teaching in Japanese and feeling so challenged I wasn’t sure how I’d get through it. I asked Reiki w all my heart to please speak through me. I kept going & doing my best and then something beautiful happened: my heart opened and words I didn’t know I knew flowed through me. And I could feel each student lean in meeting me heart to heart and they didn’t pull away until their questions were fully answered. I’ll never forget their level of sincerity, dedication, and pure appreciation. Reiki taught me something so important with these first classes.. that to understand (and teach) Reiki we must only open our hearts.

About a week ago I met with one of those students and she took out her paper slightly crumpled from a little folder to keep it safe and let me know she’s been looking at it constantly over the last 5 years. I don’t know why but I almost cried. Seeing her paper reminded me of how far I’ve come too as a teacher and continued Reiki student. We had a lively discussion, again beyond language, about how the principles constantly continue to support emotional and mental healing 💖

The Reiki principles are very simple, subtle and also profound. If we let them they will help our hearts to open again and again to everything we desire to what Mikao Usui calls “inviting happiness and the miraculous medicine for all illness”.

I hope you’ll join me this evening for a very special guided mediation on the 5 Reiki Principles in a safe and dedicated healing space. I’m really looking forward to it💖

Kindly reach out if you’re called, thank you! 🙏

I was riding my bicycle down this lane and thought to stop and take a picture of the beautiful “komorebi” or the shapes of the light through the leaves … and when I looked at the photo a few days later I noticed the way the trees came together at the end to form a kind of portal through the natural world! I didn’t see it at the time💚 it was a reminder that there’s so much happening throughout time supporting us 🌈

As we enter into the changing of seasons and the gradual close of this year please continue to stay warmed and nourished🙌✨ here are a few offerings to help you stay connected to your inner peace and presence, please reach out if interested 💖
