The Figure

I performed my first energy medicine on a doctor of medicine today.  It was quite unlike all previous treatements in many ways... a) the patient was masculine.  b) the patient was foreign  c) the patient was a physician  d)  the patient was very used to receiving such treatments.

He lit up when I came in the room.  He had been having some misunderstandings with his nurse prior to my arrival and I could tell that the nurse was frustrated.  She quickly exited the room so that I could be with him.  He was thirsty so we got a big syringe and squirted the water into the tube going through his nose because he has a hole in his throat from his surgery.  He had something removed from his jaw bone and his left leg was all wrapped up and in a walking cast.

After the nurse left he looked at me and said 'Your energy is huge.  You infect the room with light. I bet I could feel it 100 miles away.'  I saw him relax.  I saw him breathe easier.  I smiled.  I was grateful.  He told me, 'I know energy.  And I know that some people suck energy from others and some people beam energy to others.  You beam.'  It is SO refreshing to meet people like him.  I told him that I am what I am and I don't notice the beaming, but I'm happy that he does!  I thanked him of course.

I brought my stones for him... the heal the healer stone whose name I can never remember,... and citrine for him to hold.  He was a great receiver and had bright purple color.  At his heart and shoulder I felt much energy exchange.  At his feet I saw a woman's eye and then the eyes of a dragonfly.  When I had a hand on each foot, I saw a yellow stream of light running from his left foot up his leg and then at the pelvis running up the spine.  It seemed like a wishbone missing one side so I asked for the other side to produce light as well.  The full wishbone emerged in bright yellow.  His right leg wasn't wrapped up so I rubbed it as I went up.  It seemed like it was what it needed.  I saw many eyes here... moving in waves... also the shape of the bottom lip of a woman.. moving in waves of green and purple.  I asked to see the chakras, but they did not want to be seen.  At his head the second time he was sweating.  His hair was getting wet.  He told me later that it was a good sign... meaning that his energy was moving well.

I think the energy was moving because he and I had a lovely bond from the beginning.  I think that is what opens a person up to the possibility for healing.  He said he had no pain... no fatigue and no stress after we were done.  He also said he felt like he had slept for 10 hours and my treatment lasted about 20 min.

As I was leaving his room, his nurse was returning.  She had a great big smile and thanked me for taking care of him. :)

He will be here for about 6 months.  I will see him again...especially now that I will be his Facebook friend... he's a 'figure' you know... famous in his country... he told me he's on Twitter and Facebook. :)  I think he's lovely... figure or not!  Namaste.... EE

And the Waves Went to Sleep

I'm a little late writing up this session, but here it is!  I hope I remember all the details.  Monday I had a patient who wanted a treatment prior to her surgery.  She had an energy treatment during her clinic appointments and wanted to have one before the main event which was the removal of a tumor which they thought was benign on her lungs.

I had a long talk with her before the treatment.  She was very anxious.  She told me that when she was 21 her Mom died of a blood clot to the lungs during a surgery.  She also said that she fainted when the surgeon came out early during her husband's surgery recently because she thought the same had happened to him.  She felt guilty for not being there.  She felt weak.

She also told me about why she was having the benign tumor removed from her lung.  She had melanoma a few years back on her leg and they wanted to be sure it didn't spread to the lung.

We talked about a lot more like calming down through meditation and breath work.  And working through memories and emotions by removing their charge on the meridian points.

I started the actual treatment and she remained awake with eyes open most of the treatment.  I could feel a good flow through her, but not many images right away.  I did specially stop on the lung area.  I saw an eye lid with really straight and thick eyelashes.  I asked the rigidness to go away and the lashes turned into flowing streamers.  It was much more feminine and light.

She had a lot of purple color surrounding her.  At her left shin I saw the xray image of the eyes of a wolf and then about 5 or 6 images of people in the same fashion - only the eyes and sometimes nose and in xray.  I figured it was her pack... she had mentioned that many people were praying for her and she felt supported in that.  Her feet had a blue bubble around them.  Little blue bubbles broke off and moved upward.  Then the bubble turned orange.

I moved to the other side, to the place where she had the melanoma.  I saw swirl waves rising up in this area.  I asked the area if the cancer was gone.  I didn't get an answer.  I asked the body if the surgery would process the cancer.  The swirl waves curled up into a circle as if to fall asleep in a ball and rested.  No more movement.  Wow.  The cancer waves when to sleep.  They weren't ugly bugs, they were beautiful spiral waves.  I haven't seen the cancer pictured that way before.  She must have thought of the cancer as beautiful.

At her right hip I asked to see what animals were with her.  She had a bear cub that only appeared really quickly - only the ears.  Funny that whole bodies aren't shown of the animals and people by her spirit.

At the end, I told her the three main ideas from the book 'Proof of Heaven' - You are loved.  You can do no wrong.  There is nothing to fear.  She appreciated the 'fear' statement the most.  Fear of her surgery was definitely something she was feeling.

Strangely, she said she felt nothing during the treatment.  She didn't see anything.  She really had no reaction to the treatment, but she did feel more relaxed.  I had never heard that before.... huh.. always something new I guess!  EE

A Voice and an Ear

I met again with the 'patient patient' from May.  She was back in for a chemo treatment and wanted Reiki prior to the spinal tap that she was dreading.  She was scared.  She told me many times.  The last tap didn't turn out well for her and she was scared to be going back.

I walked in.  She asked me if I did yoga.  I said I did.  She said, 'oh it's YOU!  I have been searching for you for weeks!  I couldn't find you!  You are my angel!  I thought you had disappeared!  After you treated me last time, I saw tons of angels, but then the angels went away and I didn't think they would ever come back!'  I told her angels always come when requested.

She told me many things that were going on in her life and cried some.  She told me that she missed home.  She missed her dog.  She needed to get his seizure medications in order so he would be healthy.  He was overweight and not looking good.  She was sad that she was losing chickens.  When she left, she had 40 chickens and now there were only 15 or so and many were males.  She thought something was killing them and her boyfriend wasn't taking good enough care of them.  Just as she said that she caught herself and said 'Oh I shouldn't be worried about that.'  Yet that's what she wanted to tell me, her angel.  It's significant for her... caring for her animals.

We started her treatment because we had a hard stop time when the massage therapist was coming back.  She asked if it would bother me if she talked.  I said she could talk if that's what she wanted.  She said I smelled really good. :) (last time she had commented on my perfume so I was sure to wear it again this time) Then she didn't stop talking through the whole treatment.  She and I conversed about the thoughts running through her head.  She worries and her thoughts take her all over the place.  I asked if she tried deep breathing.  She said no.  She said she knew she needed to do more of that.  We talked about self-kindness and self-love.  I told her it's a practice.  She said she's not good at it.

I told her she has the abilty to heal herself and that God dwells in her.  She cried.  She knew.  She said   when they first found the tumor in her leg she did a lot of Reiki on herself and melted the tumor away, but she hasn't been focused on her healing anymore.  Her mind is full of thoughts of worry.  We talked about observing her thoughts... like sitting on a river bank watching a river flow by.  She understood that analogy.  That made sense.  I told her that she is not her thoughts... she's the being on the river bank... on solid ground.

At one point she asked me what I did for work.  I said I worked with computers.  She said 'How did an Earth Girl get involved with computers?'  :)

At the end, a flood of people entered her room; her nurse, the massage therapist and the rounding young residents.  I finished her treatment by telling her some of the things I learned from our time together.  I told her that her throat chakra was really pulling energy from my hands and that I wore blue today which corresponds to the throat chakra... I must have known she needed it.  I also knew that she needed her voice to be heard so I let her talk through the ttreatment which is something I have never done before.  I told her to keep letting her voice be heard.  Also I said to use her voice to be grateful to those who are helping her like her sister-in-law who has opened her home to her.  And I said to let her voice come from her heart... such a dear heart.

While I was giving her my findings her nurse and the massage therapist where there listening.  I could see her nurse watching me and listening very intently.  I could tell that she had never heard a 'diagnosis' like this before.  She was open.  She was interested.  I think she'll benefit from hearing that.  The massage therapist understood the chakra concepts and she encouraged our patient to use colors to enhance the healing.

And then the flow of residents entered.... and I left with my iPod of hang drum tunes.  What a different energy... but we had our moment... her voice speaking to my ear.  EE

Calling All Angels

Reiki request for the 10th floor - which is the transplant floor.  Here patients are kept in special germ contained rooms and are recovering from another organ being placed into their body.  This patient even talked to her liver like it was masculine.  Maybe her donor was masculine.  I didn't ask.

Baby Girl

This woman was amazing from the moment I stepped into the room.... she was so gracious about me coming to see her.  She has some of the kindest eyes I've ever seen.  She called me her angel.  She held my hand.  She told me two stories about angels touching her life during her illness.  She told me she believes in angels and their work.  She had never had Reiki before, but she knew it would help and trusted in the energy coming from The Divine.  She said she was open and ready to receive.  She told me she had been looking at the picture of Jesus in her room and asking him over and over again to help her through this phase of her journey.  She was on her last few hours in the hospital and was SO glad I could come by to see her before she left.

Then when I was about to start, she said had to use the bathroom... we got her out of bed and she used the bathroom (door wide open) and talked to me the whole time.  When she got back she asked if I cared if she didn't have her underwear on because they were digging into her abdomen... hahahaha!  I said I didn't mind one bit! :)

I started at her head and right away I felt like I needed to call her 'Baby Girl'.  This came up a few times during the treatment like I was comforting her.  She was indeed doing well receiving because the energy was flowing through me and my hands were quite warm.  She seemed to want as much touch as possible so I laid my hands on her head, cheeks, chest, shoulders... all the way around except for her sacral chakra.

At her head I saw a lot of little wings... like many fairies hanging out, but seeing as this was the first of the hand positions and her spirit liked to gradually give me access to her visions, I didn't see any color.. just the wings flying around.

I didn't see anything at her chest, shoulders or arm, but when I got to her abdomen (which she had showed me earlier- it was very bloated and there were two incisions one with a tube coming out of it for drainage), the images flew at me.  The images were in a muted purple/black color and were very active.  First the image was a tangled ball of string.  Then the image turned to a big rotating fan, then ornamental drawn flowers, then hieroglyphic type images of a person moving, then all calmed down into a small dome at the bottom of my mind screen.  No more flying images... just a dome of stillness.  I knew it was time to move on.

I moved to the sacral chakra - one hand on her left hand and one hand over her creative organs.  Immediately I saw a beautiful green flower and I started to cry.  Green is the color of healing and the flower has always been the symbol of the female sexual organs.  She needed some healing in her feminine beauty.  I loved how her spirit showed me through a gorgeous flower.  It was so moving!

I moved down to her feet and at her left foot I felt a presence on my back...I saw the face of a leopard.... black I think... there were no spots on his face.  He wasn't mean, but he was wise.  He wanted to be seen and I think he was on my back because he was working with me.  I have had angels and Jesus over my back as well.  It seems like it would be scary because you don't have eyes back there to see, but I think that's where trust comes in.

At the bottom of both feet she had yellow light coming out over her body in the shape of a triangle with the tip at her head and the base at her feet.  Then it turned to red light (the color of the root chakra) and changed shape into a semi-circle.  I saw some messy looking spiders... as if they were made of string... not realistic.  They were definitely frowning though so I asked them to leave.  A couple more appeared after that, but then they left.  Back came the purple and I saw what looked like a tunnel of purple light pulsing.  I noticed that the tunnel walls looked like the skin of a snake.  The purple light would start at the back of the tunnel and move up and then it would retreat back and move forward again.  This probably happened 5 times.  My take on this is that she has an active snake at her feet... and I was reminded of St. Patrick who usually is pictured with a snake at his feet for 'driving all the snakes out of Ireland'.  It may have no significance to her, but that's what I think since I'm a wee bit Irish. :)

At her right ankle and knee I saw a ton of purple moving.  I figured she must be regal and that she was a queen..About this time she made a strange noise.  I thought she was snoring, but later she told me she felt a that noise come from deep within her and it let out so much of what she had experienced in the last week in the hospital..  She said it didn't feel like it even came from her.

I put my hand on her stomach again from the other side and all was quiet.  I asked to see an image of her warrior at her solar plexus chakra - the chakra of personal strength.  I saw a head dress.  She didn't have weapons, but she had the costume of a warrior.  Then I saw the most beautiful image of a heart.  One side was purple and the other side was green with a small bud with a long stem running through it.  I stayed here to view it longer thinking about how amazing it would be to capture all the images some how that I see during these sessions and be able to show the patients.  This one was gorgeous... and it was over the place of her surgery, her transplant, the place that had been so chaotic only minutes before. WOW!

I placed my hand on her heart for a long time.  I didn't see anything, but I felt good energy exchange.  Then I stepped back and beamed energy through my hands.  I felt another presence behind me.  This time it was Jesus.  He was doing the same thing I was doing and when I felt him I felt the energy in my hands power up.  I called him Emmanuel in my mind and thanked him for coming.  I knew that she would appreciate his presence and it would mean so much to her.

I could tell when he left so I figured I would end the session.  I smoothed out her energy and her eyes opened.  She raised her arms up a little as if in praise.  She brought her hands in prayer position in front of her heart, then to her brow and then back down to her heart.

She opened her eyes.  She said she felt like she was floating.  She had no pain.  What was painful before now felt like cotton balls in her belly.  Her face was pure peace.  She thanked me.  She told me about the noise that she made and what that felt like.  She told me that she too saw a bud when I was over her abdomen the last time.  She also told me that she has a niece whom they call Baby Girl whom she thought about right at the end and whom she hadn't heard from since stay in the hospital.

The flower in her second chakra brought tears to her eyes.  She said that she had a hysterectomy at the age of 25 and had always wanted to have children.  She said she always thinks she's over it until she talks about it again and then she gets emotional.  She still wanted to adopt until she was in her 60s, but never did.  She feels like she missed out on so much because she wasn't able to nurture and love any offspring.

I'm almost certain I will talk with her again.  We have some more bonding to do! :)  What a blessing she is!  Towards the end of my treatment I asked that she be guided on the lessons she is to learn in this lifetime by all that she has had to go through.  I asked the angels to guide her because after all, that is what they do! :)

Dear Jon

5 weeks in the hospital...  Can you imagine?  Today I had a patient who was feeling depressed after this extended stay in the hospital and then got some unfortunate news.  He had never had an energy treatment before, but he was willing to try it and his wife thought it would help calm him.  She was right. :)

I didn't talk much to him, but I talked mostly to his wife.  He just got himself comfortable on the bed as I had instructed.  He was 66, frail, and breathing with oxygen in a tube into his nose.  His face was grey like the lighter shades of grey sky in the picture to the right.  I told him that he only had to do one thing.  Receive.

I told his wife that energy work is very much intention based so if she wanted to join me with intention of him receiving exactly what he needs today that I thought it would benefit Jon.  She made herself comfortable on her cot near the window and closed her eyes.  What a trusting and loyal soul!  I was honored to be heard by her.

When I started the treatment, his head immediately received energy.  He was doing a good job.  I told him so (sliently of course).  His breathing was choppy, but I tried to use my yogi breath ocean waves to calm his breathing.

What I saw at his stomach was very notable.  I had one hand on his hand and one over his stomach and I saw a single eye with eyelashes or a feather falling over the front of the eye.  The eye was outlined in black with a purple swirling background.  The eye was not showing emotion.  It disaappeared and another single eye appeared.  4 or 5 different single eyes appeared and left my mind's eye.  At his left ankle, the bald head of a child appeared.  The child was looking up.... looking for a mother's love.  I asked Mother Earth to give him love and the Mother in me also responded.

At his left foot and left ankle, I saw a bug.  It was large and had a club for an arm.  It was not a welcome bug and I could tell it was not helpful so I asked it to leave and it did.  In its place was a single larva worm lying on its back very peacefully.  I also saw a clean colon... the transverse colon because it was positioned horizontally.

His feet continued the child's request from Mother Earth and she answered with many rays of bright green light beaming up and over his entire body.  It was as if the sun was rising at his feet in all green hues; loving green heart chakra light of healing from Mother Earth.  I felt it and teared up.

I asked at his right hand if he had an animal watching over him and I saw a cat... well mostly the tail, but I never saw the face of the cat nor could I tell if it was a leppard, a tiger, or a house cat.  Sometimes those cats are elusive.  :)

When I had one hand on his hand and one hand on his shoulder, I could feel his body trembling again.  He had a lot of tension and rigidity in his shoulders and chest.  His breathing was fine, but he was shaking.  His arm was twiching quite often too.

I ended the treatment and then his IV machine started beeping.  His wife tried to stop it, but the nurse had to come in to get it to stop  He didn't wake up even through the beeping.  He was sleeping.... something he hadn't been doing much of because he was dreaming about getting a whole new digestive system....a  new stomach... the third eye in his stomach was telling him this in his dreams.... how COOL!

Turns out he had something wrong with his pancreas... but he hadn't been eating and dreams about his new stomach were keeping him from getting restful sleep.... until he received Universal Life Force Energy today... and then he could sleep through beeping IV machines... Oh the power of Love and the intention of two women (and BIG Mother Earth)!

Patience in a Patient

Yesterday I visited a patient who had been waiting probably the length of her stay for a Reiki treatment... she's been in the hospital for a month.  YIKES!  She understood that we are volunteers and we do our best, yet she knew she really needed a boost from a treatment.

Heart Tea Cup

She wanted my card.  She wanted to hang onto me.  She wanted to know that I could be reached again.

In her eyes, was yearning....  She was confused.  She was spent.  Her pain rating wasn't high, no nausea, but her fatigue rating was the highest possible... and I understand how that could be after a month in the hospital.  She was hooked up to 4 different bags when I went to see her so I'm sure she had more during her stay.  She needed strength.  She had tears in her eyes when I came in and she saw that she was going to get her Reiki.  Bless her soul!

Her treatment wasn't spectacularly illuminating.  I reminded her it would be exactly what she needed today.  And I reminded her that her only job was to receive. :)  She did immediately... I had both hands on her head (gloved and robed because she was in ICU).  She received like a champ... she had lots of purples and greens and even a 3D animal at her feet...which looked like an antelope crossed with a snake.  A puma leaping also came across at her right knee.

The most notable part of the treatment to me was feeling her breathing.  Even when I was at her head and her feet, I could feel her breathing in my hands.  I noticed because I was trying to calm down her breathing to match mine.  I use my breath to keep me centered.

When I left, she was sleeping.  She didn't move when I brought my hands together and closed the treatment.  She didn't move when I removed my gloves and robe.  She was basking in the warmth.

Many times I tell patients that I hope I never see them again.  This is something said in love because I don't want to see them in the hospital any more.  For my Patient Patient I truly don't want to see her again.  My intention for her from the beginning was that she regain strength to return home.  Hopefully I did my job. :)

Emotion Around the Heart

The request read something like: Please help:  New mother post-35 hour labor in need of some Reiki for pain relief and relaxation.  I will take this call!

The patient is a first-time mother of a baby boy and in great spirits after that labor and then eventual c-section.  She has a headache from the spinal tap drugs and is hoping her milk will come in, but her energy seemed great to me.  She had a friend visiting and was very happy to see me!  She too is a Reiki Master and was so thankful that I had come. Reiki twin powers... unite! :)

She was a great receiver immediately pulling from my hands.  I think her appreciation helped with this transfer as well as our general blend of radiant energy. When I was at her midsection for the second time, her hand came up and moved my left hand to over her c-section scar and then a very strong circle of energy arrived.  She started to relax and sigh in relief.  A big smile came over her face.  I moved my hand to over her heart and she started to cry.  Later she told me they were tears of relief... relief around her heart that her son was ok and that all would be fine.  She said that her hips released and she felt a lot of comfort in her back and neck too which hasn't been able to happen for a long time.

She thanked me many times and told me that I needed to keep doing what I'm doing. She said the session was amazing.  She was very relaxed. She took down my name.  She works in the hospital too and wanted to be sure to have my name handy for others.  Maybe she and I will be a great team! :)

End of a Good Story

Ah, it's Friday I'm in Love... er I mean I'm funneling Reiki! :)  For some reason most of the requests come to us on Fridays... so I answer them!  Today I answered the request from a post-op patient.  She had requested pre and post-op treatments and had loved her pre-op treatment.  Thank you Sue/Mary! :)  She was so thankful that she could also get a post-op!

She actually is a Reiki practitioner herself, but realizes that it's just not the same as getting a treatment from another kindred spirit. :)  We had a great discussion before the Reiki session.  She told me that she had both breasts removed and had different kinds of cancers in each.  She was completely happy with the removal and wasn't going to miss them at all.  She had her breasts for 70 some years and wasn't attached to them.  She didn't want reconstruction.  She was full of vigor and had a lot of color in her face.

She told me she had none of the risk factors for breast cancer and that she thinks she got it from taking estrogen pills and then it messed up her menopause because she paused and then started back up again and she told me how old she was when all of that happened.  I listened and noted.  She also said that a 'gifted' friend of hers told her that her 4th chakra (heart) needed some attention (oh and that she needed to drink more water and the water comments bothered her until she finally just listened and did what the friend suggested).  The patient (let's call her Mandy) had told me earlier that she brought her own osmosis water because she didn't like the chlorinated water in the hospital.  

And so we began.... I didn't wear gloves, but I did wash my hands.  I would rather touch skin with my skin... so much more intimate and neither of us were scared of germs. :)  I started with both my hands on her head and felt the need to say 'Love, love, love' repeatedly while I was in this position.  I didn't get any pictures... we were warming up. :)  When I moved to her shoulder I started to see a little color, but it was subdued... purple - dark purple and when I had my hands over her heart, no change... same dark purple.  

The purple changed though when I said these words 'You are beautiful.'  Her dark subdued hue turned vibrant and the pace of the movement of the swirls increased.  The praise had given the colors a boost!  And the images began with that boost.... a firefly opening up its wings at her hand... and while I held her hand (and she squeezed mine back), I could feel her heart beat.  Each time I held her hand and one other time at her shoulder, I could feel her heart beat.  This is not a usual occurrence... SO COOL!  Definitely Mandy's heart was speaking.  At her left shoulder too I saw a light blue umbrella folded up.  This umbrella also appeared around her feet.

At her left hand I asked for her spirit animal.  At first her spirit wasn't ready to share and I only saw morphing clouds, but slowly two animals showed themselves... a rabbit - just the little tips of his bunny ears and the end of his whiskery nose... and a horse - the outline of the head and then the horse disappeared behind me... most likely to go play with my stallion (my power animal)... :)  I found this image and thought... how perfect!  Our two kindred spirits were playing.  Mandy laughed when I told her that... she loved it!

Kindred Spirits - Marcia Baldwin WOW!

While the horses were playing I decided to clean out the dye that Mandy had talked about from some tests she had to have for her surgery.  She was very clear that she was going to use kelp to remove these toxins from her body so I thought we could give her a running start by using Reiki as well to remove it.  I watched as black veins appeared and the black liquid drained out her feet and into the earth as I asked Mother Earth to absorb the dye.  Then bright light filled the vessels of her body starting at her feet and running up... the dye was gone.

When I got to her feet I saw a lot of green and it was a big change from the other color I had been seeing most of the time which was purple.  Knowing that green is the 4th chakra color and that of the heart, I asked the green to move up to the heart.  As the green was moving, I saw growing sea anemones carrying up the color and then wrapping the heart in the green ever so gently.  Very cool!  Sometimes you wish you could just stop and enjoy the view for a while, but then things change... :)

I mentioned that my power animal is a horse, but my healing animals are 2 wolves... a male who stays at my hip and a female who is the scout.  At this point, I saw her (and I don't see her often) move up and snuggle into Mandy's left shoulder.  Well isn't she the friendly one today! That just made me smile!

from www.nwf.org

But the image at her right leg made tears stream down my face.....  I wasn't asking any questions, I was just funneling and seeing lots of darkness... and then I saw the bottom of the darkness move.... a shadow... and brilliant starry sky behind the moving shadow.... the shadow was the back of a bison... rising as if waking up. I felt like I was watching  some kind of rebirth....a  return to strength.  And it was so beautiful that the tears just streamed down my cheeks....  I cried in gratitude... for the waking of the buffalo and for the ability to be shown such beautiful sights.... OH MY!

I moved on to her knee and stomach and felt the help of Jesus, then Mary, and then The Divine Feminine... Could it get any better???? I am humbled beyond words!  But yes... more helpers came.  An angel came and laid on her stomach... a full sized male angel complete with wings.  And then about 5-6 small hearts started to form over her stomach and turn into colorful butterflies and fly away... 

As I was ending the treatment and beaming energy from the end of the bed I saw her laying in her bed with about 5 animals on her and they were all looking at me as if they were listening to a nice bed time story... looking up with anticipation for the ending... OH MY! The wolf, the rabbit and the monkey medicine man from Lion King were recognizable, but the rest of the creatures I didn't process.

I was happy she woke up as I started writing my experience on the sheet I turn in.... and she told me that she had seen a bright light at the beginning when I was near her head... I think it was when I told her she was beautiful, but I didn't say that... :)  Oh the power of compliments!!!!  She also said that her spirit felt refreshed and it was JUST what she needed. :)  Of course it was!  I hadn't told her all that I had seen yet, but yikes she received so much!  GREAT WORK MANDY!

I told her all the things that I saw.  She connected to many of them... she LOVES fireflies... and the bison.. she said "I have a bison."  I wondered if she owned a live bison, but she said it was a little replica bison - one side was white with a blue eye.  She had gotten it from a Native American.  She also said that Jesus was holding her hand in her meditations prior to the surgery so she was very happy he showed up again... with the others.... :)  She was wowed by all of it!  She loved that the wolf and angel snuggled with her.. she said she recently signed a petition in her home town to save some wolves because they were starting to hunt them again.  I told her that my wolf doesn't usually do that so she must have been special. :)  Of course she is!

She was very pleased that we removed the dye.  This was really bothering her mind... I could visibly see her relief and happiness that those places were now filled with golden light.  I felt like I needed to speak about the green at her feet.  I asked her if she was a do-er... an action person.  She said... yes, she has always had excess energy so she had taken up running to burn some off.  I suggested to her that her do-ing energy be balanced by surrender time... surrender time to heart.  I also told her if she feels like she has excess energy, to just give it to a tree or Mother Earth!

I also suggested to her that since we had so many heart references that she be ready for some emotions to come up to be examined... possibly some heart issues were at the core of her cancer and by listening to the body and the emotions behind the illness that she could possibly uncover the early memories that were placed in her being and could be left behind.

And then... the weather... because her man returned and was making sure the weather looked decent for their 9 hour drive home.  She felt like she could take her turn driving. :)  The Do-er... at it again!  I didn't say a THING! :) hehehe!  Bless you "Mandy"!  Thank you for the amazing experience of your spirit!

She Saw it Too!

Every time I enter a patient room, I know the experience will be lovely.  I trust that the patient will find some form of comfort in my treatment, but I never know what will unfold.  :)  Oh the fun of SURPRISE magic! :)  This brings me back!

Patient #who knows!?  is a woman on a floor which I think is some kind of cancer treatment.  She's in for a few days because I overheard the group of doctors on rounds right before I entered her room.  They didn't even flinch when I asked if they would visit her first so I could do energy medicine on her and not be interrupted. :)  They were quite accommodating!  Thank you!

Sweet!  I love cancer patients... because... THEY NEED THIS and cancer is what brought me into this whole new world in the first place... a diagnosis of a family member. But really I am not choosy on what patients are sent my way... I just head in and get to work!

This was her second energy treatment.  She had one before, but it was about 12 years ago.  She was in for her second flare up of cancer.  Oh sweets!  What is your body telling you this time?  I did a good amount of explaining and then started.  She was an immediate receiver and at her shoulder, which is usually my second hand position, I started to see her color... purple for sure!

At her left hand, she had vibrant swirling and bubbling purple. I could have stayed and watched for hours, but I was on my haunches and blood wasn't flowing to my feet very well.. ;)  The image I saw at her left hand was a moth first, then a butterfly, and then wide open fairy wings from the back.  I moved on to her left knee and there I saw a purple elephant with a mustard colored background.  This elephant was busy... working with her trunk... maybe digging in mud or something.  She was active and I never saw her whole body, just the trunk.

At her left foot.. iron fence scrolling and spirals... and then when I had my hands on both feet, blue waterfall.  At her right ankle, I got some darker images... blacks swirled in with the dark purple.  On top of a big black bubble appeared a black mean looking bug with purple slanted eyes.  I asked the bug to leave and the bug BLEW UP!  I didn't use any forceful words, I just asked the bug to leave and the bug left in an explosive fashion... woah!  I tried looking extra carefully to see if the bug was gone... yep... all gone.  I moved up to the stomach and was greeted by 4-5 different scary African war masks.  One would appear and move toward me then disappear and another one would show up and come toward me... They were not scaring me and they stopped trying.  :)

I moved on to place one hand on her shoulder and one over her heart.  Here I saw a tiny heart.  The bottom pointed part was an ivory color and the top a few shades of pink... it was so so small.  The next second I saw a crown on the heart.  To me that means loyalty as it's a part of the claddagh ring.  I barely saw the crown when the top of the heart burst WIDE OPEN... like beautiful fireworks full of pinks, yellows, ivory, and sparkles!  I cried!  It was gorgeous!

She was sleeping when I left... 3 people had even interrupted us and she didn't even know. :)  I went outside to write up the paperwork and then checked on her one more time to leave the notes on the session and she was awake... :) YAY!  So I sat down to tell her what I saw.

She said she saw swirling purple right away too!  She also saw an interesting thing when I was near the bug... she told me that on that leg is where she had a very rare external tumor.  This was why she was back in treatment after her first leukemia recovery.  At that point of the treatment, she said she saw a statue and then a lot of red.... right about the time the bug was exploding... She said she also saw some beach scenes.. which was cool because a lot of the scenes I saw were framed as if I was under a palm tree... how you could see the palm branches in the top part of the frame.

'That was amazing.' - her words to me... bless her!  Bless the powers that allow me to experience this!  I'm honored... third time crying today... yep! :) I also scored a hug today... YES!

Support Circle

This is not a Reiki session story, but it is a story of universal light and healing.

I am an avid yoga practicer... yeah.. I go to yoga about 4 a times a week.  You get to know the people who practice next to you.  I have a friend who has really cool multi-colored yoga pants.  I don't know her well, but I will say hello to her and smile when I see her and of COURSE compliment her on her snazzy yoga pants.  :)

I saw her picture a few weeks back in the newspaper because her son had disappeared.  OH MY HEART!
Then a couple weeks later, I saw another article in the paper.  He had been found, but it was his lifeless body that was found.  OH my HEART!   I told my yoga instructor about it the following day.  She immediately added her to our beginning meditation.... and we cried.  That was last week.  We sent our support in her absence.

Today she was back in class.  She was back in the front row ready to sweat with us.  We didn't say anything to her at the beginning, but at the end... it was beautiful!  Our instructor talked about supporting each other and how our intentions support each other and we as a group send our light.  Right before she said that, I had a sharp irritation in my left foot... like someone had pinched me, but I knew no one was by my left foot and I didn't open my eyes... I thought it was something trying to get my attention... and then after the statement of support, I saw a wolf - eye to eye with me.... WOAH!  That wolf meant to be heard.  His right eye was nearly IN my right eye.

This is significant because I have 2 wolves that are my spirit animal helpers during Reiki treatments.  One female who roams about 3 feet from me and a male who's always at my right hip.  I know the left foot pinch, was my female wolf nipping me... and the wolf in my face, was the male... telling me to tell my yoga friend that she was also supported by a pack of wolves in the spirit world.... and I cry.... I cry because my yoga instructor is my brother wolf.  I cry because we have SO much support that we have no idea!  I cry because the spirits REALLY wanted her to know that!  I cry because when I went over to hug her after and told her about the wolves, she cried.  She felt the support too.  We're all so connected.

Thank you wolves!  Thank you for everything that supports us!  <3

Hello Chemo. You are my friend.

I had a wonderful experience with chemo in the room today.  I learned to change my view on chemo and to accept it as a vehicle for intense cleansing.  Here goes the story:

Reiki session requested on two consecutive days by a male patient receiving his first 2 chemo treatments after a re-occurrence of cancer in his body... the first time it was a rare form of adrenal cancer and this time it is lung cancer.  His nurse had recommended that he get the Reiki treatment along with the chemo to help with relaxation and pain.  LOVE HER even though I don't know her... :)

I talked to them for quite a while about energy medicine and they were very open and participated willingly in the conversation.  They told me they were Christian and that they felt the positive energy of prayer from their friends and loved ones.  They also equated the Holy Spirit with the intuition that I explained to them from the chakra system.  I really talked a while (I was on a roll) and they were receiving it very well.

I told them I was going to think of the chemo as a very big detox process... that would be filled with the energy funneled from the divine.  This is my new view of chemo so that it is seen in a positive light and as a partner in healing.

When I started the Reiki treatment I felt a very strong energy right away... even when I just closed my eyes and brought my hands to prayer at heart center.  I laid my hands on his head and realized that this is exactly what Jesus used to do... the laying of the hands... there are many stories in the bible where he cures with his hands.  And then I saw Jesus over my right shoulder dressed in white, with his right arm outstretched over my right arm... laying his hand over the chest of the patient.... WOW! Jesus didn't stay long, but he made his presence known.

Shortly after this while my hand was over his chest I saw swirling purple and at the edge of the purple, I could see part of a bug.  It was a drawing of a bug, I don't usually see actual bugs, I see outlines in black lines.  It was just half of a bug.  It wasn't moving much and I was barely sure that's what it was.  I asked it to leave and it did.  After I asked for it to leave I only saw swirling purple above his lungs.

As I went around his body, I saw a rocket at his right knee and at his feet I noticed that they were very stiff... so I told his wife later to give him some foot massages. :)  When my hands were at the bottom of his feet, I saw an image of a sunset in the northwoods.  At the left knee and ankle, I saw a firefly on a dock gently waving its wings.  At his left shoulder I felt a LOT of energy being sucked in.  My fingers were throbbing with the amount being transferred. Maybe he knew that it was the last spot for my hands before the treatment was over. :)

He was sleeping when I was done so I stepped outside with his wife to tell her what I saw.  I told her that I saw Jesus over my shoulder and she immediately started crying... To her, what could be any better???? He woke up not long after I told her that so we went back into his room and I told him about Jesus helping as well... and he also had tears in his eyes... The divine KNEW exactly what to show me so that it would have the most benefit to the patient and his wife.  How blessed am I to be able to receive these messages!  Thank you!  Thank you!

Third Eye Patient Treatment 2

Alas my third eye friend from this weekend is still in the hospital and was unable to sleep soundly so she requested another treatment.  This meant that I got to explain to her the words and the pictures I left for her the first time.  YAY!

She seemed quite lively for a patient with a VERY LOW hemoglobin level (6 or something... YIKES 12 is normal).  She showed me her incision and then where she had pain today which was internal where they had grafted some kind of support.  She wanted me to concentrate on this point.  Done!

Again I was gowned and gloved up because of the bacteria that she carried on her skin.  I wasn't worried... those bugs had already left and I saw no sign of any bugs during her treatment so their time around her is history. :)  I started at her head which was quite warm... one hand on her forehead and one over her heart.  I noticed that her forehead was all crunched up so I mentioned to her to relax her forehead and massaged it a little to help her do so... people love to keep the tension between the eyebrows.  They don't even know they do it.  Try watching someone watch a movie once... pure scrunched between the eyebrows. :)

She is a great receiver so she immediately started pulling energy.  I didn't see hardly any pictures during the session, but I felt a lot of energy moving into her.  Her knee was very powerful at receiving energy, more on the left side, but also on the right.  She had a lot of energy in her abdomen.  This is where she had her surgery.  I started up her chakras spinning.  I didn't really feel a lack of movement in them, but I thought I'd just give them a little push.

Her color was very purple... which is the color of the third eye.  She's still in the zone!  I talked to her about the third eye before the treatment to be sure she had some idea what it meant... like how to know when your intuition is talking and how to learn to trust in it.  I told her about some of the visions I have seen that have shown up later.  She seemed interested. :)

I left.  She was asleep.  Mission... ACCOMPLISHED!

Walking in Star Trails

Every morning after I take the bus into work, I walk through this section of my employer that houses the blood draw facilities.  Every morning there are many people waiting to get their blood taken for analysis.  They are looking for answers to something that is affecting their bodies.

I can imagine the feeling of waiting for this blood draw is ridden with anxiety.  You can feel the uneasiness in the air and since the place is always very full, the air is quite electric with anxiety.  Having to sit in that and wait also can't be a delightful experience.

SO.. I decided today that every day that I descend the open staircase to this level, I will envision sparkling trails of stars around everyone.... boosting their spirits and giving them strength.  Even as I walk I wrap those around me in the trail of stars.  It's moving and it's bright.  It brings an even brighter smile to my face.

It has to help.  I know it!  It's Pixie Magic!

Third Eye Opening

Second patient documented... oh so officially on my public blog .. :)

This woman was recovering from an 8 hour abdominal surgery.  She wasn't in the ICU, but she was in a step down from that... and was in a room that had INFECTION control posted outside.... which means ALL hospital workers must suit up in a gown and wear gloves, but family members can walk right in and skip the whole dress up part... we get all the fun! :)

This patient had never had an energy medicine treatment either.  She had read the material on it and one of her dear friends had recommended the treatment so she was trusting her on this one. :)  I still explained to her a little bit about the process.  For some reason, the idea that we have the ability to cure ourselves inside of us came into our conversation and I told her about some shamanic teachings I had learned.  I told her we have to learn how to listen to the messages that our body is sending us.

When I started I put my hands directly on her head again... forget the infection resistent bacteria on her skin.. I wanted to touch her and so I did!  She was a good receiver.When I put my hadn over her heart, I saw a flower made of wire.  Then I didn't see anything until her first ankle.  At her ankle I saw a single bug.  It was laying on its back.  It was more like a drawing than an real beetle, but it was a beetle and I knew it.  I asked the bug to move, to go back to the earth.  I told the bug that the earth is thawing and that there were be nice homes in the dirt.  I watched as it left... out the window... to the earth.

At the bottom of both feet one of her infusion pumps started blinking and sounding alarms.  I stopped, removed my gloves and gown and went to get the nurse.  She had a new bag all ready and had no problem hanging it and ending the noise.  The patient was asleep.  She didn't know it even happened.  Nice!  I got myself a new gown and gloves and continued.  At the second knee, I asked to see her animals.  She had a few feathered friends... an owl, a woodpecker and a pelican.  I also saw a pea shoot coming up from the ground and noted the swirl which resmembled a spiral.

And then I saw one of the cooler things ever in a Reiki session.... I saw a lot of purple around her body (this is the color of the third eye chakra (the seat of intuition).  Then I saw a green eye emerge from the purple right at the third eye center.  Her third eye was awakened!  This is what the divine energy had in the plan for her today.

She didn't wake up when I was done with the treatment.  She may have when a technician came in to take care of something, but I had left by then and was doing my notes.  I made her 2 pages of notes with pictures of bugs, an eye, and swirly pea sprouts.  I also explained to her about her third eye.... and how it had been awakened for her use!  I'm so blessed to be able to do this!  xx xx xx

Lily Tears

I have been volunteering in a hospital for about 6 months now.  I have been providing energy medicine for patients who request the treatment.  I decided I needed to document this.... and how easy with a blog... so I'm typing typing typing.  Alas, I missed the first 6 months of patients, but I will start from this weekend and go forward.

So Friday March 21, 2014 - I visited a post-op heart patient as she had been requesting all possible methods of healing and this option was presented to her... she had never had a Reiki (Universal Life Force Energy) treatment, but she was willing to try all that she could to recover.

I got to her room late on a Friday afternoon.  She was sitting in a chair and had been waiting for me.  She was determined to recover.  I explained to her about the treatment for a little bit and then we got all prepared with relaxing music and made sure all the nurses knew not to disturb us.  

And I started.  I had told her that the energy is best received when the patient is in a relaxed state and is able to receive fully.  I started with my hands on her head directly.  My hands were warm and she was receiving... she was receptive.  When I moved one of my hands to above her heart, I felt another hand move my hand over to the left side of her heart.  Some other being knew exactly the angle necessary for the proper funnelling.  COOL!

I didn't see any animals.  At her second hip, I saw 3 loaves of bread coming out of the oven and then a river and a very green mountain.  RIght about this time, I realized that she was crying... it was audible and I couldn't tell if she was in pain or if the tears were tears of joy.  Of course this brought me to tears.  I put both of my hands on her knees and squatted at her feet.  She continued to cry.  I saw a giant lily appear.  It was the size of her entire torso and was illuminated at the top.  The color was white with a dark orange border.  I opened my eyes after seeing this and looked at her face.  She had stopped crying and she looked beautiful.  About this time I also felt like I needed to say the three phrases I learned from the book 'Proof of Heaven'.  'You are loved.  You can do no wrong.  You have nothing to fear.'  And for some reason I felt like I needed to repeat 'You have nothing to fear.'.  I shed a tear or two in the process and let them fall on the sheet covering her feet... my tears have so much energy in them... I have to believe they can aid in the recovery of the patient.  Hush... don't tell the germ patrol! :)

When I was done with her treatment, she opened her eyes and I talked to her for a bit.  She started crying again and told me the reason she had been crying was because she had never felt that much kindness in her life.  CHILLS!  Oh my heart!  I also explained to her that many heart patients have had some major life events relating to love that have triggered their illness.  She started crying again, but didn't explain.  I told her in audible words the three phrases again from 'Proof of Heaven'.  She had received communion right before I started her treatment and she thought that maybe the communion had helped her feel that deep kindness.  I smiled at her and said 'It very well could have'.  

I did her numeric scores in the pain, fatigue, stress level, and nausea post-treatment and they really didn't improve, but there was NO DOUBT that she had an experience with love.  She knew this and I did too.  She asked how many times she could get the treatment... :)
