Make Reiki Energy Objects With Every Day Items

Making energy objects with common every day items can be fun. You can make them from any energy form that you have access to and can send into an object.

The ones I have found the most useful are charging objects with Usui Reiki, Angelic Expressions Archangel Energy, and Protection Camouflage Reiki. Usui Reiki is a wonderful and general healing form that we can all use and have access to, especially with energy objects. Angelic Expressions is work with angels, their attributes and energy. Protection Camouflage Reiki is a great protection form, and when place in objects can offer protection to more then just running the energy. These forms I have had a personally profound energy experience using them this way, as well as have others who have worked with them and shared their feedback.

To make energy object, for any form not just the ones I suggested above, can be done very simply.

First you must decide on your object you wish to charge. Think about this and decide if this is going to be something you wear, carry, place in a home or office, have it around other people and just in general what this is going to be used for.
Second you must decide what you are going to charge the object with. What energy form are you wanting to use with this object and why. Get your intentions clear in your head before beginning.
Cleanse you object with water, sun, burying, sound vibrations or smudging.
After you have cleansed the object, take this in both hands, sit down in a chair and place your feet firmly on the ground.
Call upon and run the energy that you want to use. If the energy form has symbols, draw the appropriate symbol over the object and run the energy into this to begin its charge.
Make sure after you have charged your object that you are grateful for the energy that was provided, seal the charge closed with intention or visualization and break the connection of the charge.
Remember to re-charge the object as often as needed or recommended by the energy form.
You now have your energy object! Make sure you cleanse this appropriately depending on the object and energy form used.

What Is Centering & Fun Ways To Do It

Centering is another big key factor in energy work and making sure you are as one before diving into other work. There are many centering techniques out there, but I will go into a few of my own favorites I enjoy.

Now when we speak on centering, what really is this? I have taught classes on this, as well as have attended classes on this topic, and have heard many different answers. This all leads back to calming your physical body as well as mind, especially during meditation. But it seems like there is a lack of what really is one’s center.

Centering is going within to bring your physical body into one. Not being scattered with your mind, thoughts, physical energy, spiritual vibrations or anything else, but being one with the Universe and your connection.

I have heard areas from your navel, third eye chakra, middle of your brain, and even your bottom! So where is it really? From my personal work, as well as the work in meditation, channeling sessions, your “center” is located just below your Solar Plexus chakra and is connected through this chakra for your centering energy.

A simple and fun physical exercise to work on centering is playing with a child’s hoola hoop. This gets your solar plexus chakra active, aligning your energy fields and drawing in your “centering” energy for this area. You can also work with belly dancing, which is my personal favorite. This is a fun one among women, as it has multiple uses for us in today’s society. We first get to learn something new and have fun with it, fun being the key word again! We get great exercise, as well as work on centering and even grounding as a lot of the classes are done barefoot! So take this one outside and work on your grounding and centering at the same time!

Another simple exercise to do for centering issues is to sit down in a comfortable chair with your back straight and feet flat on the floor. Close your eyes and imagine a bright yellow triangle just in front of your solar plexus charka. Begin to breathe in this bright yellow color and breathe out any black or gray negative energy. Each time inhaling more and more of the bright yellow color, and with each breath out less and less negative energy is expelled. Keep doing this until all of the energy coming in and out is this wonderful bright yellow color coming from your triangle! Open your eyes, wiggle your toes and stretch out!

Your Spiritual Pathway & Where To Begin

When you are first beginning to learn energy and healing, everything can seem a bit confusing and complicated as there is no right or wrong path, but your own personal pathway through life. You have to make choices on what is best and most positive in your own spiritual pathway to do this. There is not A, B and C to connect the dots or lines, but there are basics and general knowledge that we all need to obtain and learn when working with energy and healing, which I will go into in this article.

For most people they start out with hearing and wanting to learn about Reiki. Now others start out with meditations as well, and to be honest it doesn’t matter where you begin, what matters is that you do begin your process with ascension, enlightenment and awareness while we are all connected and raising the vibrational level of this planet and ourselves.

So let’s say you are at one of these two most common starting points, now where do you go? Well to begin, Reiki and meditation are the most common areas people are drawn to. Reiki is in one's life for its healing purposes and meditation for the calming and centering of the logical and conscious side of the mind.

For Reiki, you should being by learning Usui Reiki first, as this is the original form of Reiki and are always a good basis for any learning program dealing with energy forms. Now meditation is a wonderful key in working with energy, as you need to calm and center yourself while working, so this is an important factor. Not everyone can meditate or meditate successfully I should say, but it is important to try! So receive your attunements, lots of practice and work on meditation. And remember meditation is not something you do once and never return back to, this is something you have to work on and practice with just as much as your Reiki.

So where do you go from there, well to be honest that is al dependant on where your own spiritual life pathway takes you. We are all not here for the same reason, purpose or issues, as we all are different. But this type of work and area is not clear cut, as some people want to grow and just work on themselves, while others want to heal people, and yet others want to heal the planet and yet others have even more dreams and ambitions. That is ok! It is completely normal! There is no right or wrong pathway, and if someone says you must do this or that or it is wrong, I dislike in saying it but they are wrong. We all determine our own spiritual pathway through like!

So what else do you need to know and work on? The basics of energy, healing and spiritual growth are wonderful places to start. Here are some basics for you and your spiritual pathway you can look into more:

Reiki
Meditation
Healing Yourself & Others
Grounding
Centering
Protection
Chiballs
Chakra & Aura Work
Basic Crystal Knowledge
Basic connections with your guides, angels or power animals for your own innate intuitive side

These are the good basics for learning, working and starting out on your spiritual pathway through this lifetime. There are of course many additions to add onto this listing, such as karma work, nature work, astral cord energy, past life work, and many more. But we are talking about your spiritual pathway and its beginning. I know it can seem overwhelming, but remember this is your physical lifetime and spiritual pathway through it. You need to look within to find those answers, I am just here to help and guide those along the way with my own knowledge and help from my guides. So get started on your own spiritual pathway today and enjoy the ride!

Solar Return - Happy Birthday From The Cosmos

Your Solar Return is a “Happy Birthday” greeting from the cosmos. This is a calculated time from your own personal information and everyone’s is different.

For this year, my birthday is July 22nd, but my Solar Return is July 21st. This is when the solar and planetary alignments, astrological alignments, and even energy alignments are in the same order and place as when they were when you entered into this physical form on planet Earth.

This is a magical time in everyone’s life and comes once a year. This is considered your solar birthday and is a wonderful time for manifesting and creating your next calendar 12-month time frame in your life.

The 12 hours leading up to your solar return time is a time when you need to end and close all of the ties that are holding you back in your life. Close business deals, work and finish any unresolved issues with relationship and pretty much close and tie off any loose ends.

Now the time of your solar return is the most magical time for you personally. This is a time when you surround yourself with everything you want to have in your life for the next upcoming 12 months until your next solar return. Some people like to meditate; some burn incense and listen to music. I surround myself with the most important things in my life at that time, which is generally my family, as well as energy grid circles. These are filled with things that I wish to have in my life for the next 12 months.

For the 12 hours after your solar return time, this time should be at the utmost happiest and enjoyment filled time around your birthday, as these will set the energy vibrations in motion for the next 12 months. So needless to say if you are arguing with someone during this period, be prepared to argue with him or her during this time period over the next 12 months. If you are receiving a lot of financial income during these 12 hours, you will e receiving more over the next 12 months. This is like a planning period.

So have fun and enjoy this time to its fullest. We all get a solar return each and every year we are on planet earth, so make the most of it!

Make Grounding Energy Fun

Everyone needs to be grounded, whether they believe in energy work or not. This is just something that our physical and spiritual bodies need to stay in a healthy energetic place in our lifetime.

Now grounding sounds like a lot of work, and when I first entered into this line of work over 15 years ago it was very ritualistic in how to work with energy, how to ground, how to center and pretty much all of the “basics” that go into energetic spiritual and holistic healing. Grounding is beneficial but can also be fun to do.

The most common way to ground, that a lot of people already know of, is to visualize growing trees roots out of your feet chakras and into Mother Earth. This is a good way to get everyone into the basics, but some people I have found have a hard time doing this as well. So why make this complicated? Mother Earth is right outside! You do not need to be ritualistic at all about this.

Try this, go out and walk around barefoot! Its fun and easy and anyone can do this.

Now when I was growing up, this was a big no-no in my house as my parents were always afraid I would step on a bee or something. But this is not what grounding is about. Mother Earth knows why you are there, as well as your karma from this lifetime and previous lifetimes. It is highly unlikely that you will step on a bee barefoot when you are trying to ground. Its not impossible, but unlikely, as you are working on grounding yourself with Mother Earth and she knows this. She is not going to want you stung by a bee!

I know with all of our hectic lifestyles, running errands, work, computers, busy life it can be hard to find time to ground or center or meditate. This is a fun way to work with grounding and Mother Earth. Walk around and feel the grass between your toes and take a deep breath and enjoy the earth energy flowing up into your energetic bodies through your feet chakras.

Another fun way, get your family, friends or kids involved. Mine love to go in the backyard and roll around and lie there and make pretend grass angels, similar to snow angels. They climb all over me and wrestle around, and all the while we are all soaking up Mother Earth’s energy and grounding at the same time.

So the next time you are outside or walking by a park, take your shoes off and walk and feel the grass between your toes and take a deep breath! Smell the roses! You won’t regret it!

Crystal Healing For Injured Or Sick Animals

The majority of the human race has some form of animal companions in their life, and at some point in time they get hurt, injured, into fights or even worse start having a hard time with old age. In the injury and illness areas it can effect us as if they were our family members, as we love them unconditionally and do not want to see anything happen to them.

When one of your animal companions becomes ill or injured next time you can help ease these issues, if not heal them completely, before even making it to the vet’s office.

Two wonderful techniques for this are combination of Rose Quartz Crystal Healing and Reiki. Rose Quartz is a wonderful crystal to help heal injuries, illness and reduce stress. Reiki is a good combination to use with crystal healing, as this amplifies the energy of the crystal during the healing process.

You can provide a crystal healing and energy session for your beloved animal companion by taking a rose quartz crystal in your dominate hand and activating your Reiki energy. Once you have done this, bring the crystal close to the animal’s injured area, within a few inches, and start to turn to crystal clock-wise. Breathe deeply and slowly and remember to pull your Reiki energy from the Universal Source, not your own personal energy, and send this through the crystal to amplify the energy and into your animal.

Remember animal companions heal much more quickly then we do in human form, as well as their energy bodies cannot always integrate the extra energy as quickly, so watch for sign tell-tale signs that your animal has had enough healing at this current time. This can be anything from attempts at fleeing, trying to nip or bite, their ears drawn backwards or down or other behavior that is not in a positive and affirmative way. Ways that your animal companion will let you know they want more healing are things such as their eyes closing, they bodies becoming more relaxed, signs of affection, comforting, and even drooling at times.

Always remember to appreciate the work that has been done, and validate your animals feelings and issues.

Is There A Cosmic Judge For Our Karma?

Who or what determines our own fate and karma? Is there some cosmic judge that says yes you are doing good and no you are doing bad? What if you are in the middle with your life, mostly good in the aspects of what you do and create, but every once in a while you think, do or act in a negative way, then what happens?

These are all good questions and to begin I have to first say let's take a step back and breathe.
Next, there is no cosmic judge out there who gives out praise or scoldings. It is all us, our spiritual connections, and our own soul pathways that we have to live with due to our thoughts, actions and karma created.

Now those of you who are a bit more spiritually advanced know that we can change things around. You can do this in a non-energetic way as well as with different energy formats. You can work on your own karma from this lifetime, past lifetimes and even those of your ancestors. By doing so, this can move us more quickly in the present to achieving our goals, enlightenment, abundance and spiritual growth!

So in the end, when all is said and done, you are solely responsible for your own actions and thoughts as you are the only one to answer too. There is no cosmic judge out there who is going to praise or scold you in anyway. The only one you need to be concerned with is yourself when working on your karma. These are the issues that you created in this lifetime or a previous lifetime, so you are the one who has to learn from these issues. You can receive help and cleansings and healings, but in the end, if you have not learned your lesson you will keep repeating this until you have.

We are all connected, so to raise all of our vibrational levels, we all need to connect but to do this we all have to free ourselves from the past and move forward!
