Reiki and Disabilities …
Earlier this month this little rabbit turned 44 and is doing so well. New medication has enhanced his life and ours.
At the end of March I restuctured the Reiki First degree course and taught him the basics of Reiki. Amazing what Self-Reiki can do to a person.
All in all teaching him was an incredible experience.
Imagine what learning Reiki can do for you!

Intentions …
An intention is the thing that you plan to do or achieve : an aim or purpose.
At the beginning of each year I set an intention for the year and then write it in the back of my agenda. I like to go back and look at what my intentions were and what have I been able to achieve and is this still my intention.
In 2020 my intention was to have a Labyrinth built in Bracebridge. At the beginning of 2024 I had the Town of Bracebridge’s approval and co-operation and have raised the funds needed for the build. This spring a beautiful Classical Labyrinth is going to be built in Annie Williams park for all to enjoy.
What a great intention and I am excited!

A Simple Act of Kindness and the Power of Saying Thank You
Over the past few weeks, I had some beautiful friends show me great kindness and others that came forth with a heartfelt thank you.
Both are incredibly powerful in how they make the giver and receiver feel.
Show someone kindness and/or give a heartfelt thank you!
It will warm both your hearts.
Ho’oponopono…
Ho’oponopono means to create peace from heaven and earth. It is the Hawaiian practice of reconiliation and forgiveness.
This past week I had the privilege of learning the traditional practice of Ho’oponopono from Anne-Marie Risbjerg. Anne-Marie is a Reiki Master in Denmark and learned this practice while travelling in Hawaii in 1994.
Over the 3 days we spent together I learned the history, how it connects to Reiki and the spiritual and the physical aspects of Ho’oponopono. What an amazing experience and I look forward to sharing this beautiful practice.
Honour your Body ...
This year I am choosing to “Honour my Body.”
Earlier this morning I started out with a wonderful Yoga class. My body was very stiff from inactivity and so I was reminded of this quote:
“If you believe that something is good, and you do it, it benefits you. If you believe that something is bad and you do it, it is a very detrimental experience.”
It was a great experience and did benefit me.
What are you doing that makes you feel good and is a benefit to you?
Acceptance ...
Each year I like to start with a word. My word this year is Acceptance.
I have been asking myself
What in my life do I need to accept.
Who in my life do I need to accept.
And what about me do I need to accept.
And I ponder …
Acceptance is the key to convert momentary happiness to enduring happiness. It helps you move from feeling happy to actually being happy.
Acceptance is closely linked with the concept of mindfulness. In order to accept one's circumstances, feelings, and thoughts, one must be fully aware of them.
And I ponder …
How do you start a new year?
Kids and Reiki ...
Parents often think that they are here to guide the little ones. When—in reality—the little ones come forth with clarity to guide you.
In November I taught my first Kid’s Reiki class. The above quote sums it up perfectly.
What a fabulous experience and I look forward to my next class!
Reiki and Mental Health ...
Did you know that October was Mental Health Screening Month?
That seemed like a good topic for me to write about on the last day of October. The past 8 months have been a great challenge for my family with a close relative struggled with their mental health.
We are now seeing light at the end of the tunnel with better health for all. Keeping my understanding, compassion, and unconditional love intact is my greatest testament to Reiki.
Learning and practicing Reiki is a gift to myself that I will always cherish.
