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.

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.

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.

Running on Empty
We all have days like this.
I’m tired from the inside out. My body is tired. And, I’m tired of being tired.
When I get this tired, I feel low – lacking. Hopeless is the word for this moment.
I feel that my world simply left me out in the cold. My world dropped me off somewhere empty, shut the door, and plans to forget me.
There is no one out there for me. Nobody is offering me nourishment.
I am alone in this – alone and empty.
I am depleted.
There is only one way out of this: kindness.
Kindness is color in the black and white landscape.
When I feel this way, I turn to my old standby: Reiki therapy. When I receive a Reiki session, I reconnect to my inner strength. I see the magnificent rainbow color in the bleak black and white landscape.
The door is closed – but it is not locked. My task now is to open the door.
Thank you for reading this article.

I’m Getting By
How are you doing?
Sometimes, when we ask a person how you’re doing, we learn that you need to take a breath and pause.
Often, when a person says “I’m getting by”, the subject is about money. The vocabulary for “I’m getting by” includes frugality, guarding, security. “I’m Getting By” is really an accurate way of saying: I “Have only enough”.
If you are getting by, the chances are you’re addressing your money wounds.
This may be a good time for that. After all, we all have money issues.
Money is loaded with memories. They go back beyond our parents who themselves passed their parents’ own money stories down to us. Getting to the bottom line, money is a legacy. Everyone has a money legacy.
Take a moment to call up your first money memory.
Do you remember a time when saving crossed over the line into hoarding?
Do you journal? Have you ever journaled your money stories, memories, and issues? I don’t ever remember discussing journaling about money.
Serious healing can begin with money journaling. Money journaling addresses insecurities and abundance blocks passed down for generations.
Some day, when you have a chance, hold some coins in your hand and see them as mandalas – spiritual markers in your life. When you see mandalas instead of coins, the light in the room suddenly becomes more clear.
The mandalas represent the part of the self which is the core of your money interest and experience.
Have you thought about how trust blends with your money issues and your life goals? It seems these things are all braided together.
Money is not the end in itself. In the final analysis, it’s not the money. It’s how we respond to it and deal with it over time. It’s how we respond to the money in different situations in life.
Meditation will help you become aware of your inner money potential. Reiki and reflexology are two grounding and healing modalities which can help you explore your legacy and your future. Include healing modalities in your money growth whenever appropriate.
When things seem to be working well, prosperity flows into your life.

Go Ahead – Make the Call
Long ago, and far away, it was possible for a person to know everything there was to know.
Today, I feel it is difficult to impossible to know even all there is to know about anything – let alone everything.
When you search, learn, and experience new things, tap into and lean on the knowledge and skills of others.
Use the skills, knowledge, and experience of others when you collaborate to grow, prosper, and develop your skills and direction.
Collaboration mixed with teamwork can smooth and balance your life journey.
Whatever you do, wherever you head, a strong support group is essential.
So, how do you do this?
For starters – ASK
That, in itself, can be a stretch. Nobody likes to admit needing things and not knowing things. But when you seek knowledge, you start from a foundation of not knowing.
So, what are you to do?
Well, journal entries can help.
Explore how it feels to know know what you need. Discuss the meaning of imperfect, wrong, and dependent.
How can you accelerate this growth to get to the other side easier? There is something you can do: Outsource
Action helps. Reach out.
Reach out to someone for help. This boils down to another vocabulary: ask, call, hire, order.
It also means that you can get more comfortable with being worthy. Go ahead. You can do it!
You’re worth it!
Ask questions. They can apply in your professional life, your social life, and in your romantic relationships.
How often can you benefit from knowing something new?
How hard is it to admit that you don’t know something?
How is your situation hindering your progress on your journey?
As you juggle all the tasks and requirements that you face at a given moment, If you reach out to someone for something you need, can you improve your situation?
Of course you can. Go ahead. Make the call!
Ask someone to help you plan your garden.
Ask around – who knows about a good job opening?
Call a friend for a recipe.
Hire someone to help paint a room.
Get your groceries delivered when things get crowded in your life.
Thanks for reading this article.

Sometimes, when contemplating the stretches that questions create in addition to the answers, it helps to schedule a Reiki or reflexology session.
Other times, take time out to consider the resources, allies, and experts you’ll be learning from next!

Sharing with Others
Are you more balanced than you think?
We all experience times when we don’t have enough and other times when too much is happening. Lack and plenty are normal throughout our lives. The pendulum swings back and forth at its own pace.
Something to learn early in life is this: To receive, it’s necessary to give. Life is easier for those who have learned to practice this daily. So, what, exactly, have they learned?
SHARE,
So, do you know how this works?
Those in service have learned that offering help, service, or time is a pathway to success. But, what does this mean? It means that several things work out well:
Volunteering for a activity,
Donating to a cause,
Personally, it means checking in with someone just to see how they are doing. It means that you give of yourself because you know what it feels like to need a helping hand along the way.
Sharing with others is a no-thanks-required way of life.
Sharing with others balances the energies of giving and receiving.
A good question to ask yourself: Is it time to give or receive? When you journal about people an situations where you show up, you can discover your answers.
Are you uninvited? What triggers the event? Do you feel you have to give something before you receive something? When you ask questions like these, it’s time to open yourself to experience the energies consciously.
when something is right, it feels good.
You may be more balanced than you realize. This becomes more obvious when you share your energies with no strings attached.
