The last 2 years have been crazy for all of us, so many ups and downs. I chose to put my business on the backburner last summer after a very scary near death experience.

One of my core values is self care, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to be an example to my friends, family, and clients. In the midst of a terrifying ordeal, I was presented with so many opportunities to learn about my body and new ways to care for it.

I'm thrilled to say that after some much needed time off to get my own health back on track, Bennett Energy Healing is back and better than ever! We are now accepting new clients.

I spent much of last year scared that I wouldn't make it to 2022. But even in the worst of times, I was able to create balance in my life and receive the blessings that came with this experience. One of the highlights of my year was October 31, 2021 - the day my husband and I committed our lives and our love to each other. After a 9 year engagement, I finally set the date and decided my health would no longer be an excuse to put off living.

Life isn't black and white. It's not all or nothing. We can find beauty and a sense of wholeness in every experience. It just takes time and support. I would love to hear about the blessings that snuck up on you during the last 2 years, and I'm here to support you as you overcome any obstacles in your path.

Best wishes for health, happiness, and prosperity 💕

Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers out there!

"Though some may argue that a mother is a woman who gives life with her womb and nourishment with her breast, it is important to remember that a mother, any mother, is also one who gives life with her tenderness and nourishment with her love." - Daily Om Inspirational Email 05/07/2021

We have an emergency situation in Oregon that requires a rapid and skillful response from Oregon residents and any national group that would be affected.

A bill before the OR legislature would allow the state to set standards for Reiki practice and the practice of more than 200 energy modalities. The bill specifies it would cover all modalities that provide care to an individual or group of individuals for the purpose of addressing personal growth or to alleviate emotional suffering.

It was our understanding the bill was not going to be acted on, but we just found out that a date has been set for a public hearing, a limited time when OR residents can testify against the bill.

The date for the hearing is this Monday, May 10. Both written testimony and requests to speak must be submitted by 8 AM Monday.

You will not necessarily be able to testify live even if you apply in time, so please also submit written testimony. [Link: https://reikiinmedicine.keap-link002.com/api/v1/click/4547849480437760/6163981951565824 ]

It can be helpful to get together with a Reiki buddy or two to work on your testimony and support one another.

Remember your legislators work for you; you elect them. Tell your Reiki story simply, succinctly, and respectfully. You don't have to be a professional; be yourself, and be mindful not to take too much time or get too detailed.

REGISTERING TO TESTIFY LIVE
Registration is required to testify by phone or video.

Registration closes at the time the meeting is scheduled to begin. There's a public access kiosk outside the State Capitol Building for anyone without access to a phone or computer to join a meeting by video. Neither registration nor use of the public access kiosk is a guarantee that you will be able to testify during the meeting.

Committee chairs may determine that public testimony must be limited. For this reason, written testimony is encouraged even if you plan to speak.

Petition to Protect Reiki & other non-invasive practices...

Recently a bill was introduced in Massachusetts as a way to end s*x trafficking by regulating non-invasive medicines.

The proposed regulation would not only affect Reiki, but also Qi Gong, Asian Bodywork Therapy, Trager, Feldenkrais, Ayurvedic Therapies, Reflexology, Polarity Therapy, Rolf Structural Integration, Body Mind Centering, Acupressure, Energy and Somatic Healing Practices, all of which are currently exempt from regulation according to the existing MA massage licensing law.

This bill uses occupational licensing laws to attempt to solve a criminal law enforcement issue.

It threatens public access to complimentary and non-invasive practitioners of choice.

If MA enacts regulation, it sets a precedent that other states might follow.

The bill would be effective immediately, and require, for example, that Reiki practice be taught only in schools. If you are a Reiki Master Teacher, it would cost you upwards of $8000 in fees to register yourself as a school.

Given that most Reiki teachers work independently, that would put them immediately of business, and the public would only be able to learn Reiki practice from state licensed schools, according to how the state decides Reiki should be practiced and taught. It creates an unnecessary burden that will put practitioners out of business immediately. Even those who can afford to be compliant will have to close their doors until they complete all of the state's education and licensing requirements.

Showing support to keep Reiki and other non-invasive practices accessible is super important. We need to domstrate that this is a key issue for many people, not something that matters only to a fringe element.

I'm sharing the link to a petition to keep non-invasive medicines accessible.

I already signed the petition, and I'm really hoping that you'll also get involved, regardless of whether or not you practice or receive Reiki and other holistic services.

I'm doing a series of radio/podcast interviews about Reiki and my business over the next few weeks. I'm hoping I can also bring attention to this issue. If you're interested in listening to my interviews, let me know and I'll send you the link to access my interviews live or when the podcast is available.

Thank you for your support 💕

Feel free to share this petition with your family, friends, and anyone you know who uses non-invasive medicine or cares about affordable access to complimentary modalities.

Happy New Year!

Just wanted to give a shout out to the doTERRA Bone Nutrient Supplement!

I started taking the Bone Nutrient supplements a few years ago for migraines and bone support. I have Crohn’s disease and don’t absorb vitamins well, so I was looking for something that my body would metabolize and use efficiently. My doctor told me that magnesium minimizes frequency and intensity of migraines, so I figured I’d tackle two birds with one stone. It’s been working amazingly.

As some of you know, doTERRA ran out of the Bone Nutrient supplement recently. I personally ran out of my supply a month ago. Since then I’ve been having issues with my heart racing (heart rate above 200 without movement) and then I faint. I ignored it for a month and finally went to my doctor.

I’ve known about my heart problems for years. I’ve had issues with fainting since high school, and years ago I wore a heart monitor for a month to find out what was wrong. I have a heart murmur and tachycardia. My heart rate randomly increases until I collapse.

These problems disappeared while I was on the Bone Nutrient, but I never thought it was related. Turns out magnesium regulates how your heart functions. I’m deficient in magnesium and it is affecting the pre-existing heart condition.

I’ve been using doTERRA oils for 10 years, and it still amazes me how versatile and miraculous these oils are. I’m so grateful to be a part of a company that is founded on a commitment to integrity and quality.

Sure, I’m disappointed that we’re running out of things this year. But personally, I’d rather they run out of my supplements than budge an inch when it comes to quality.
