Who am I? What do I really want? Is it Even Real?
Sometimes the question is this: “Who are you in this experience you call your life?”
With all the choices available, how can you turn imagination into action?
Today, you have many opportunities: Money, power, relationships, dreams, aspirations, secrets, solitude, projects, career, love, and secrets.
Are you at a point where your path will continue and be healthy? The challenge is to choose your way.
This can overwhelm you. Do you remember what happened to your early intentions? You are living the experience of being at a crossroads, unable to choose from the many options.
You may feel that if you choose the wrong path, you will detour on your way to your goal. Maybe you shouldn’t even choose from the options you’ve identified so far. Maybe the choices are only going to lead you further astray.
Your potential lies stuck somewhere in the middle between your choices and your intentions.
Underlying all of this is your fear of success which is scarier than failure. You may not know why you don’t allow yourself to express your unlimited potential.
A question for you: Where are you right now?
Then: What is real and what is imaginary?
Finally: Where are you going?
Your heart knows the way.
DO THIS:
Ground yourself with Reiki
MEDITATION:
Go to a quiet, safe place. Choose a space where you can feel comfortable letting go of anything standing in the way of you and your soul.
Take some deep breaths now. Inhale and exhale while you are breathing in healing and exhaling toxins and fatigue.
Begin to let go of everything you no longer need. Let go of what no longer serves you. This includes worn out memories, hurt, fear, negativity and everything you need to get rid of.
Be aware of releasing physical tensions as well as anything standing in the way of knowing who you are and what you stand for.
As you exhale, you are getting rid of old tensions, discomfort, and pain.
As you inhale, you draw in everything positive that you need.
After a few minutes of this breathing, you sit quietly with your feelings and situation. You close your eyes.
After a few moments, you open your eyes and see that you are in a garden. You notice how perfect everything is. The plants are all perfectly chosen and are all in just the right place. You are in the midst of beauty and calm. There is a gentle breeze. You enjoy the aromas of the plants and flowers.
You see a small cleared space in this garden where there is an inviting chair waiting for you to enjoy. The cushions seem to call out to you. You approach the chair and get comfortable in it.
Sitting in the chair, you notice a pathway leading to the edge of the garden.
Somehow, you know that this is a path you are invited to take.
As you walk on the path, you come to a mirror hanging on a branch of a large, beautiful tree.
You look in the mirror and see your own reflection. You feel, as you see yourself in the mirror, connected to your past – your present – your future.
You see yourself as loving and knowing. The answers too all your questions are in your heart.
You take a moment now to feel your connection with all there is. This feeling blends with the air and atmosphere in the garden.
You begin to realize that this moment is blending all you know with a newness. You feel fresh – renewed – and bright.
This garden is helping you connect to all you know as you breathe deeply – exhaling and inhaling.
The feeling is freeing – supporting – knowing.
You know now that it is time for you to return to your day. You can return to this place any time you want. or need refreshing.
Now – after a moment – you slowly move your muscles, open your eyes, and continue on with your day.

Nostalgia & Past Lives Take You to a Place You’ve Known Before: Today. How do They Connect?
Past is a huge word.
When you think about its meaning, memories of times gone by surface. Your timeline stretches beyond this lifetime to include previous lives. It includes friends, family, love, careers, childhoods, adult events, conquests, and wounds.
Nostalgia reminds you of the wisdom of your past experiences so you see lessons learned and patterns repeated. These memories influence your todays and tomorrows.
Gather the nostalgia of your past, bless your memories, and value the importance of the present. This is where you are now. TODAY
Begin with forgiveness. Each day is an opportunity to use your personal history to help you as you move into the future.
Reminiscing and reconnecting ground you in your timeline of success.
DO THIS
This is a good time for a Reiki therapy session.
MEDITATION
Gently close your eyes and take some deep breaths. You may want to sigh and exhale. Indulge yourself.
Stretch a little.
Yawn.
Breathe in and breathe out. Notice your body adopting a regular pattern of breathing. This is easy for you as you relax. Notice how you relax on the outbreaths.
As you continue to relax with each in and out breath, allow yourself to travel to a meadow. Relax into the atmosphere. Notice the sun as as it shares it warmth for you. Feel a gentle breeze.
You become aware of the meadow where you are resting. Notice the grass, flowers, shrubs, and trees.
Feel the peace of this space.
Feel how you respond to the surroundings in this meadow. Absorb the feelings of safety and peace. Accept the wisdom of this place. Feel your power here.
Most of all, feel safe. You are safe here.
You look around and see a path. You know that this path invites you to journey toward a moment of letting go.
You know that you can let go now. You know that forgiveness means you’re moving on without lugging around so much baggage.
You know that this is a moment of peace of mind and inner calm.
You can experience miracles and blessings along with forgiveness.
At this moment, you forgive yourself as well as the other.
You are being set free.
You sense that you are moving to a new normal. You’re at a new normal.
You are forgiven – now and forever.
You linger with this feeling for a short time.
Now, when you are ready, return to the room. Return feeling lighter than when you left.
You stretch your muscles slowly. And you smile.
You know that you can return to this place whenever you want. This place is always waiting for you to experience more letting-go.

Life is Easier Without the Baggage. This is What Coming Home is Like.
When the baggage goes, you see what is left. This leads you to a better place emotionally.
For some, this is what coming home is like.
Recovery and renewal are part of the story when you experience loss. When the old cycle ends, the new cycle begins.
Self-acceptance is the key.
Mourning and grief morph into respect and acknowledgement. Looking back, you realize not all was lost. Learning this lesson is important to avoid repetition.
Wounds become temporary as they heal. Forgiveness is part of the story. With forgiveness, stagnation, self-pity, and loss cannot drain away your focus.
See yourself in a brighter future. Reclaim your happiness, embrace hope, and eliminate grief.
Release your negative thoughts, events, and relationships. This can be challenging when you carry your baggage through life with you.
Because it’s hard to leave the baggage behind, you’re tempted to take it with you.
Life is easier without the negativity of the baggage.
When you offload the baggage, you can make peace with what is there.
Now, you can move on to a better place.
A MEDITATION:
Begin this meditation as you sit in a comfortable position. You may prefer to recline. The important thing is to be comfortable and feel safe.
The goal is to be in a position where you are open to receive.
Close your eyes.
Take a deep breath – in through your nose and out through the mouth. Repeat this breath pattern several times. Each inbreath brings healing, and relaxation. Each exhale removes toxins and negativity.
Continue breathing slowly and deeply. Each breath brings relaxation to your entire body. Each exhale continues to remove toxins and negativity.
When you feel relaxed and comfortable, look around.
You are in a small canoe on a pond. The water on the pond is still and peaceful. Your canoe is in the center of the pond.
You sink into the deep and welcoming cushions in the canoe. You enjoy the comfort. You feel the peace and the stillness of the canoe and the pond.
A small current moves your canoe toward a gentle stream. As the canoe moves with the breeze, you notice the temperature of the air around you. You see the trees, shrubbery, flowers, and grass along the edge of the pond.
You notice the lazy clouds moving overhead. You see beautiful birds in the air overhead.
You become aware of the gratitude you feel just being in this space. You appreciate the energy and the peace. You don’t have to do anything. Just enjoy.
After a short time, the breeze carries you and your canoe toward the shore. You are on the beach. Being on the beach makes you feel strong and healthy. You feel you are a part of the earth.
As you stand beside the canoe, you experience healing energy. You absorb the quiet of the moment. Taking peaceful energy into your very center, you know you will remember it.
It is now time to return to your body and your conscious thought. As you slowly move your body, you open your eyes.
Returning to full awareness, you remember all the beauty and peace you experienced on your meditation.
You know that you can return to this space whenever you desire.
Renewed and rejuvenated, you continue with your day…

Boredom: Is it Safe for Me Right Now?
Have you had the chance to be bored lately? It’s certainly not exciting.
But such luxury!
Boredom comes on the heels of fun, joy, and all good things. Sometimes, when boredom sets in, I wander through the house wondering things like: Why? What should I do now?
Once I define my situation: the blahs! – I like to take a little time and reflect on this experience. Truly, I’m a little afraid of boredom.
Boredom, after all, creates space for new and different and creative things to germinate. Unexpected opportunities will appear, that’s for sure.
Meanwhile, I think about boredom. Sitting is for thinking. Lying down is for recharging. Sleeping is for healing. Standing is for action.
Sitting invites unexpected opportunities.
When I’m bored, I stop and talk with myself about encouraging unexpected opportunities. I know they always come: hand-in-hand with boredom.
It’s easy to live with boredom. After all, “blah” is safe, if nothing else.
When, if, you can shake off boredom, you’ll discover opportunities you’ve never noticed before. They’ve been hiding just out of sight.
This is also a good time to focus on things you can create. Tap into a timeline which isn’t available right now. It’s there though. Just out of sight.
Take time to meditate now. Slow your mind a bit and heal. Meditation can release old emotions, making room for renewal and newness. This helps you become comfortable.
Begin with an out-of-the-way spot where you feel safe and comfortable. Take a deep breath. Hold it for a moment and exhale. As you inhale and exhale, release old memories, fears, and everything that no longer serves you.
Release tension with each exhale.
Breathe in all that you need with each inhale.
With a final inhale, see that you are walking in a forest. Observe the stillness and the quiet as you walk along. Smell the trees, flowers, and the clean green of the forest.
As you walk along, you come to a small pool with a gentle waterfall. There is a bench just on the edge of the pool.
Everything is clean, quiet, and inviting. You remove your shoes and clothes and put them on the bench. Then you step into the pool. The water is just the perfect temperature. You enjoy the feel of the water as you sit in the pool
While you are surrounding yourself in the pool, you look at the area around the edge of the pool. You notice the plants, the trees, and the sunlight coming down through the trees in the area around you.
As the water surrounds your body, you feel renewed, cleansed, and refreshed.
You feel like a new person.
After a short time, you look around and know it’s time to leave the pool. You step out of the pool and find a new towel on the bench. You dry yourself with the towel.
As you reach for your clothes, you notice they are different from the ones you left there. These new clothes feel soft and shimmery as you put them on. They fit you perfectly. The colors are your favorites.
The clothes fit perfectly. You look different now. You feel different, changed somehow. You begin to walk away from the pool.
As you walk away, you come to a figure on the path. You know, without being told, that this person is joining you to answer a question you have in your heart. .
The answer to your question appears in your mind and heart.
You know now, it is time to return to the present as you receive the wise being’s blessing.
You leave the pool area on a path. Feeling positive, you notice your surroundings. You are ready to process the information you received in the forest.
It’s time to return to the present. Filled with gratitude, you know that you can return to this place any time you want.
You send messages of gratitude to your family and friends.

Celebrate Friendships, Life, and Your Community
A gift from your higher power, your friends are the family you choose. Closer than sisters and brothers in many ways, they are defined by connections forged through life experiences.
Cherish, nourish, and celebrate your special support system.
Who are these people?
Your friends are the ones you call for much-appreciated advice.
They are the ones you’d like to spend your time with.
They are the ones that you know and trust. You see your own reflection in their faces.
Celebrate friendship! This means express feelings, cooperation, and give help freely, with love. Friendship can be more than romance.
The happiness of friendship runs deep.
Go have fun!
Life can be easier when you meet with your friends, spiritually preserving relationships. This is a good way to communicate with those you treasure as you build spiritual links.
Journey now with a meditation to celebrate friendship.
Find a quiet place to ground and center. Light a candle. Play some meditative music, Light some incense.
Whatever. The goal is to get comfortable, relax as you sit, or lie flat on a comfortable position.
Using the energy of the Earth, focus on your heart chakra. Visualize a vase of flowers or a small flower garden. However these blooms come through, flowers float in space with your heart.
It is serene here, peaceful. Eternal bliss secures the love you feel.
The area around your heart attracts a variety of flowers. Each is unique with various colors, shapes, leaves, and stems.
Flowers gently move together as you breathe in and breathe out. Toxins leave the area with each exhale. Love, peace, and serenity ground you with each inbreath. Flowers gently come together.
As you observe them, you realize that each flower represents a friend in your life. Some blooms represent friends in past lives. Others are in the present. Yet others represent friends in your future.
As the flowers move closer together, you feel the love energy of each one. Each blossom spins and moves with the others. There is no danger.
As you realize they represent your friends and family, you are excited to come together spiritually.
As the flowers become closer, the energy absorbs and shares healing and forgiveness. Light and love seem to be everywhere.
While you move together in a spiritual dance, the music comes from everywhere, and nowhere, all at once.
As you and your friends join together, the flowers come together to make a beautiful bouquet.
Barriers drop. Everyone joins together – accepting each as you are. Love and acceptance are important here. Breathe in and out this powerful elixir of love, acceptance and forgiveness.
Fear disappears on this spiritual place and time. The music and the colors and the moment heal.
At this healing moment, the flowers and the music and the colors begin to slowly float and connect.
You feel at one with your friends from the past, the present, and the future. Allow this moment to slow – allow everyone to connect with this moment.
Breathe in this moment. Allow it to honor you and all your friends.
Sit with your friends now. It is time to honor your past, your present, and your future. See your friends in the connections as a beautiful, multi-colored, multi-textured arrangement of flowers.
Enjoy this moment.
Honor the events and spirituality of your past, present, and future. You deserve the beauty in this moment.
When you think about it, you and your higher power are reflected in your friends. You give yourself permission to be loved and healed. When this happens, you can feel comfortable knowing that you will never be alone.
Honor your higher power in this moment. It is a special gift for you to enjoy.
When it is time to return to the present, know that you can return to commune with your friends whenever you want.

Discovering the Magic of Connection
When I think about the Magic of connection, a whole vocabulary surfaces:
Equality means respecting and embracing the person, the situation, and the story you participate in.
Mutual respect means accepting the reality of the person and the situation.
Other terms: Collaboration, Companionship, Light-hearted, Understanding.
The Magic of connection depends on honest acceptance. In a business or personal relationship you care for someone beyond yourself. You reflect yourself through the other.
When you think of the Magic of connection, you may think of romantic love. But this is not always the case.
A Magic Connection happens when two people from different directions and paths come together in the same space.
You can discover a Magic Connection around a job, ideologically directed events, cooking, or other things. This connection has a soul-driven component. There is a vulnerability including both partners.
When the Magic of Connection explores the past and future selves, an experience with duality emerges.
The Magic of Connection has a vibrational component reaching back to the mists of time past. Your heart may lead you to heal historical miscommunications, disharmonies, and wounds.
Are you considering the Magic of Connection with someone who relates confidentially with you? When considering this person, ask yourself: Who receives the most attention and emotional space?
Imagine yourself sitting on a seesaw with this person. Does the image reveal you in balance? Are the scales even?
A MEDITATION
In a Magic connection relationship, step back a moment. Give yourself a chance to breathe.
You can do this now. Breathe through your feet in this meditation.
To begin with an inbreath at your toes, remove your shoes and get comfortable.
While you inhale, move your toes back and forth. Stretch them. Give them space to relax and feel the surrounding air. Your toes reflex your brain, your neck. They reflex your vision and hearing in a response to this exercise.
As you move down your toes to the metatarsal sole of your feet, feel the tension leaving your feet. Notice how your feet feel without the tight shoes or stockings. Visualize your feet smiling.
Experience this free feeling as it expands to your entire body.
Move your feet back and forth. Move them in circles. Let them relax. As your feet relax, notice how the reflex points in your feet transfer to your whole body.
Notice your chakras now. Feel the inclusive expansion of your feet to include a full-body relaxation that includes not only the muscles, bones, organs, and the chakras in your body.
When you reach this relaxed space in your body and spirit, hold the moment. Breathe it in. Enjoy it! Absorb the moment. Smile.
Take a few final relaxing breaths to end this exercise.
When it’s time to put your shoes back on, remember that you can enjoy this freedom of movement anytime.

Begin Your Adventure! How to Maximize An Opportunity to Give You Hope Again
Your opportunity is a powerful game changer.
Opportunities can be emotional, healing, and intimate. They give you hope again.
Not coming around often, your opportunity seems like a gift card.
Whenever it appears in your life, one thing is sure: You may not see the size, shape, weight, or anything else about your opportunity..
You may not know yet how much or where you’ll spend your opportunity’s currency. It may even be difficult to impossible to visualize how your opportunity will end up. .
Begin the adventure!
Connect with this. Feel it. Smell it. Hear it. Let it touch your heart. Take it and make it what it will eventually become.
However this opportunity develops, use it to fulfill your dream.
Sometimes beginnings can be challenging. The moment can be profound, even.
As your opportunity takes shape, the events may be powerful. This can release creative and intuitive emotions. When this happens, you may connect with your opportunity physically and spiritually.
Give it the definition It needs.
This may guide you to forgive and heal yourself. Get ready. Self-acceptance can be expansive. This can be good for your opportunity and its definition.
Pay attention to the activities in your unconscious self.
You are opening up your self. Protect your heart. It is open and filling with love.
A good step now is to write yourself a letter. Support yourself here and now. Welcome the growth you experience. Embrace change and all the wondrous things coming your way. Give yourself permission to be the person you choose to be. This includes your thoughts, emotions, and everything making you who you are.
Breathe in those things promising your success. Radiate power, confidence, and whatever supports it.
Receive your talents and everything else in the world important to your self.
Accept those positive gifts and “run with them” as my grandmother used to say.
Spend time receiving Reiki therapy and reflexology sessions. These sessions promote balance and homeostasis. They will support your opportunity journey in ways you may not know at the moment. Balance and homeostasis cannot be overstated.

This is Big! Life is Hectic, Busy and Full – it’s all Coming Your Way!
A lot is going on now – maybe too much. It’s coming your way!
Security, success, and abundance are waiting for us to seek out. There is enough to spread around and share.
Watch everything shift when you add positive energy and abundance to your life.
Your family and the surrounding community are the foundation for this situation. Your support group and your community represent strength and comfort for us all.
Something I’ve thought about recently is legacy. What do you want for yourself and what are your long term goals?
What improvements can you make?
What can you create in this world?
How can you touch hearts?
Can you build a future with hard work, love, and commitment?
Can you offer a gift to your community?
What can a lasting gift from you be?
Can you create things that others will consider meaningful?
Work is challenging. Paying attention to your body, it facilitates a lot of your life with mostly not too many complaints.
Take a moment now and pay attention to your body. Do you notice any areas needing attention? Is your body speaking to you?
Honor your body now. Thank it for all it has done for you throughout your years together. Thank your body for the support it provides over time.
What can you do to take better care of it?
How about a better diet?
Enough sleep?
Regular Reiki sessions are wonderful gifts you can give to yourself.
Journal an entry thanking your body for all the things it has done for you in the past, is doing for you now, and will do for you in the future.

When Work Counts More than the Paycheck
Our work lasts for a lifetime.
A lifetime of work has three layers. The bottom layer is the act of mastering the job itself.
The next layer is the knowledge that goes along with this job.
The top layer is the spirituality of everything: the work, the job, and the expertise surrounding everything.
Notice that happiness is not even listed in these layers. Happiness is a by-product of work satisfaction – if it’s even in the mix at all. When spirituality and knowledge enter the picture, they overcome all the other shining objects seeking attention.
And, reviewing my career journey, which has spanned some odd 60 years, the jobs offering the most knowledge and spirituality did not include happiness. There were few shortcuts. Spirituality and expertise came from invested time and perseverance.
Workflow tells you how you are doing. When things go well, there is a good flow – maybe.
Perfection is also absent in the lineup. Perfection is an illusion.
It all comes down to spirituality and job knowledge.
This means you work for what you believe in over the long haul. When you stay with your mission, you build focus and momentum.
This is a good time to connect with your future self. Journal a letter to your future self. Share a review of your past and describe a bit of the future you plan for yourself. Don’t forget to give yourself the gratitude you feel for the past and the positive feelings you have for your future self.
Connect with yourself now with eight days of Reiki sessions to bring you greeting and support and love.

Are You Getting Through Your Day on Autopilot?
Are you getting through your day on autopilot?
For me, that’s a scary thought! When I find myself working on autopilot, any change to my pace is a real challenge. After all, I have a tendency to just “Plug Along”.
To get off autopilot, you may have to look elsewhere for the techniques and tactics that produce the abundance you promised yourself.
Sometimes it’s a good thing to just stop and look at where you’re putting your efforts. Ask yourself this: “When I step back and consider everything, is it worth it?”
Or, “Do I just keep plugging along or do I look elsewhere?” A lot depends on how tired you are and how tedious the situation is.
Actually, I’ve faced this situation several times throughout my life. And, I bet you have too. I believe that weighing the pros and cons at my job to be fairly common situations…..
Consider this: Things are happening, even if you can’t see the progress.
When you reach this plateau in your situation – whether it’s your job or a relationship or a fitness workout – it may be time to pause. Lean into your faith and give thanks.
A good activity here is Reiki Therapy and/or reflexology. Whether you book an appointment and receive a session or offer yourself self-Reiki is not important. The important thing is that Reiki and reflexology are appropriate whether you give, share a session, take a class, or teach a class.
Take a break: This can be a meditation, a short time to honor your breath, or going for a walk. Finally, limit multitasking.
Whatever it is, you need a time out to remind yourself of your purpose. Revisit your destination.
A project now is to prioritize and focus and review your energetic input.
What are some areas in your life where you are responsible? Take a time out to write about these responsibilities and the sense of fulfillment you feel. Some categories to journal about may include your health, spiritual growth, physical health, community, sleep, good deeds. Are you proud of these responsibilities?
Your life is headed in a beautiful direction. Express gratitude now for the coming results. Manifest your goals with focus, attention, intention, and awareness.
Leave your frustrations, fuzzy goals, and sapped energy behind.
Focus on your goals that will make your heart sing.
