Beautiful fall leaves in our garden

“Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today and creates a vision for tomorrow.”  ~Melody Beattie

Color Therapy

Color Therapy

“The craving for colour is a natural necessity just as for water and fire. Colour is a raw material indispensable to life. At every era of his existence and his history, the human being has associated colour with his joys, his actions and his pleasures.”
— Frenand Leger, “On Monumentality and Color”, 1943.

The Reiki Box

A Reiki practitioner often receives requests for Distant Reiki sessions, and unless we want to spend every day and every night fulfilling all these requests, we need to create a Reiki envelope, book or a Reiki Box.

In the beginning you may only need an envelope where you can place the names of people who have requested Reiki, but as your practice grows you will need to find something a little more substantial. I personally prefer the Reiki Box, although I have also used Reiki packets, books and envelopes.

My Reiki Box – Collage & Rhinestones on a box.

The Reiki Box can be any container in which you can put names, photos or both, of people who have requested Reiki. Some practitioners use a shoe box while others prefer something more elaborate. It really doesn’t matter because Reiki always goes where it is needed.

When you have selected your box, you  will need to clear it of any unwanted energies, you can do this by smudging it or by drawing the Power Symbol on all sides of the box.

Next, you will need to write down the names of those who need Reiki on slips of paper and place these inside the box. After you have done this, draw the Reiki symbols in the following order and focus on sending Reiki.

  • Distance Healing Symbol.
  • Power Symbol.
  • Harmony Symbol.
  • Power Symbol.

You may send Reiki daily or weekly depending on need. I use index cards in my Reiki Box and go through them periodically and remove the cards of those who no longer require Reiki. You may want to write down the name, date and issue on each card and attach a photo if you have one.

One other thing I do is write out this message on a slip of paper and place it in the bottom of the box.

“Reiki for all beings who wish to receive it.”

Everyday Goddessing  is about sharing magical techniques and sacred wisdom with other beautiful Goddess women. I believe that within every woman there is a goddess, a wise woman, beautiful, creative, powerful, with a deep soul, and that everything we need and are looking for is already inside  each of us. – Rose Arizmendi

Three Minute Break

Today has been a very hectic, busy day for me and when I took a break I found this video, which I wanted to share with you.

Come take a  three minute break from your busy day and release any tension or stress in your body.

Relax and enjoy!
