Shining Spiral Healing Arts

Hello everyone 💙 for those of you still following me here, I wanted to share that I have officially closed down Shining Spiral…
My journey with Reiki has shifted so much in the past few years. I put my all into the practice with visions of it growing and thriving. When quarantine first happened, I quickly realized I had built my life to be so full and busy that I didn’t have any time to rest. So the Reiki practice took less and less of a priority as my glass business grew. I incorporate energy and intention into my art and that feels so natural, real, aligned with my purpose.
On another more uncomfortable note, I have also been learning about anti racism, white supremacy, and more specifically cultural appropriation. I know this is a controversial subject. Some believe we need all the healing we can get and it doesn’t matter what race you are, energy work is welcome. There are honorable, harm free ways to practice Reiki. I don’t judge anyone for that perspective and I don’t disagree. I have searched my own heart over the past year though and have come to the conclusion that it is not my path to practice Reiki professionally. I believe in Reiki, I have experienced it myself again and again. Life force energy doesn’t see color, energy flows no matter what. But I started to wonder, what does my own ancestral energy work look like? Should it require a certificate to be a “master” or should it be more intuitive? Are there formal hand positions, is silence required? Am I further white-washing the tradition by practicing in my own way? I don’t know.. but I’m looking forward to having space from the business side of the practice to figure it all out.
I believe there will be a season in my life when one-on-one energy work will come back into the fold. Until then, I am grateful for the people who supported me throughout the years in business, especially 💚
I feel closer to the community and more grounded in this place because of Shining Spiral. I wish you all the best on your healing journey, and if you are looking for energy filled art or want to chat about anything I’ve shared here you can find me over at
Love,
Jocelyn

As Sága grows, our wellness expands!

Nadine Hottat learned compassion, or what it means “to suffer together,” at a young age. She grew up in a loving, peaceful family, surrounded by nature and fueled by a passion for music. But her mother was often very sick, suffering from a difficult form of lupus, which was both mysterious and s...

Frog Medicine...
A combination of release and resilience. Strength of character doesn’t come from building walls around a fractured system. It comes from deconstructing and rebuilding, slowwwwly, from the foundation up. It looks like tears, vulnerability, and an acceptance of wrongdoing. It looks like hibernating and reflecting with an open heart and mind. Learning to be comfortable with feeling uncomfortable until you trust yourself to weather any storm.
If you are feeling ready to rebuild and have a sensitive soul, look to frogs 🐸 They will help cleanse the emotional blocks in your body that might be holding you back from transformation. Ask frog for resilience through self doubt and trust that you are safe in water or on land because you KNOW what you need! So be it

Receiving AND offering...
Placing flowers on your altar with a simple “prayer” to say thank you is a beautiful way to exchange love and appreciation with your spirit guides. What are your favorite ways to offer gratitude for their unconditional support?

Welcome back friends ✨💛✨

Where could you use extra support in your life? Step into each day with intention and have a talisman close to your heart as a reminder to connect deeper with your innate wisdom. Each custom chakra donut pendant is handmade to order for your specific needs. Any number of chakras can be combined, or choose just one to focus on. I personally infuse each donut with Reiki energy and cleanse it in a natural spring, under the full/new moon, or with smoke clearing in sacred ceremony (whatever feels most potent for the piece!) Enjoy a handwritten note of affirmations and a short visual meditation to work most effectively with your donut. Not sure which chakras you want to work with? Contact me with your struggles or goals and I can help you decide, or you can look at my website “Chakra Chart” page under “What is Reiki” where I describe each wheel and their effect on the body.

This is for my friends who get stuck in negative thoughts. Repeat this mantra anytime you find yourself there and imagine your heart space glowing emerald green in color 💚💚💚 You may need to do this a lot but know that each time you return to love you are creating a memory of it in your brain, redirecting your current thoughts and forging a new path for future thoughts!

Sensory comfort... our senses are heightened in the state of survival mode that we are ALL in right now. Are your usual self-soothing tactics falling a bit short these days? Consider incorporating touch ✋🏻 into your routine. For example: holding a crystal or stone while in meditation, daily self massage with herbal body oils, gently touching trees on your nature walks, placing your hand over your own heart and feeling it’s pulse as you fall asleep.
This minor adjustment can shift the focus to the current moment when we might otherwise turn to worry.
Wishing you all moments of connection and joy 😘
