My Personal Faith in Universal Oneness

I believe that was hurts one of us hurts us all. What is good for one, is good for all. There is no true separation. What is done to one, is done to all.

Using Reiki to be at Granny’s Deathbed

I used Reiki to connect with my family in my grandmother’s hospital room. I sat quietly in the space I use for meditation. I took a few deep breaths and got myself centers.
