As Reiki Practitioners we are dedicated to helping others find balance, peace, and healing. However, we need to remember that to be effective in helping others, we must also prioritize our own well-being. Self-care isn't a luxury but a necessity for maintaining our energy and continuing to offer the best healing possible.

Read moreManifesting the Perfect Relationship
The person I had been showing up as was not at all aligned with the kind of relationship I wanted, and I had to make adjustments before I could attract that relationship. I had to accept that I was worthy of the things that were most important to me in a relationship and then I had to embody those things. I had to become the person I wanted to be in my perfect relationship before I could expect a perfect partner.
Read moreLet Your Higher Self Lead
It’s easy to get caught up in the demands of the ego, the part of us that's driven by external validation, fear, and desires.

Read more52 Weeks of Self-Care Challenges for Tweens, Teens, and Families
I have created a list of 52 different self-care challenges for you to work on this year. You can do them on your own or with your family. These challenges are meant to introduce different forms of self-care for your exploration. If you feel a challenge makes your life happier, try to keep up with the activity even after the week has ended. If you don’t feel you have gotten value from the activity, you can let it go and focus on the next challenge. You may want to revisit it again in the future to see if your feelings about it change.
Read moreMy Mission to Spread Hope
As long as I was feeling hopeless and focusing on how rotten my life was, I couldn’t do anything to fix it. It isn’t enough just to tell people to think better thoughts, though. Better thoughts just won’t come when someone is experiencing too much pain. First the pain needs tended to. Responsibility needs to be accepted. Hope needs to be found.
Read moreMy Experience Meditating with ADHD
This morning I had an aha moment… perhaps my ADHD diagnosis has something to do with my struggle to stick to a regular meditation routine? I felt a bit silly for not having realized before that the way my brain is wired may well have everything to do with the fact that I find trying to enter stillness for long periods on a schedule next to impossible.
Read moreThe Secret to Wellness
I’ve learned the secret to wellness. It is listening to your own inner voice. We all have it. Sometimes it is ignored too long, and it becomes and a garbled little whisper… but it is still there. When we become still, concentrate, and focus on it, we can hear.

I look back to the beginning of my journey with Reiki and can see that one of the first benefits I really received from it was the growth of my self-esteem.
Read moreJust for today, Allow for Perfect Imperfection
The Reiki Principles do not tell us never to anger or worry or to always be thankful, honorable, and kind. Instead, they tell us to do these things just for today. Saying the principles each morning and night brings them into our daily practice and keeps these goals always in our sight but stating “just for today” allows for our imperfection.
Read moreChoosing to Live my Truth
The only time people got a glimpse of my truest self was when the pressure became too much and I exploded, violently and unattractively, with all the pent-up emotion and suppressed dreams that I didn’t feel I deserved to dream. I made the decision to do my best to start living my truth.
Read moreMindful Family Walks
Children are by nature very busy and often distracted. Stillness can be hard for them to attain. I find my children do better with moving meditations. I try to guide them in mindful walking by speaking out loud what I am noticing and asking them questions.
Read moreLet Go and Rise Up
The message to let go is a common one during awakening. What I am learning is that it is a continual process. Our ego’s will continuously work to get us to grasp onto the familiar to try to stay in control. We must learn to recognize when we are doing this, when we are drowning ourselves, and remember that if we let go the fight and are quiet and still, we will rise.
Read moreTeaching my Kids About Their Conscience
I want my kids to know that their conscience isn’t a voice in their head judging their decisions and waiting to punish them when they make mistakes.
