Claiming Our Power of Love

Fri, 03 Apr 2026 20:55:12 GMT

Dear Friends,

Spring is here, regardless of what the weather says! It’s shining a light on what needs nurturing. It brings new beginnings and realizations, which creates spaces of beauty. With that also comes renewal, as the light grows brighter and the days longer, we move towards Summer Solstice, and more feelings of abundance, growth, and potential.

Spring is the herald of this new reality of love, compassion, and beauty we are now in. I personally see and experience it every day. The more I hold compassion and love for myself, the more I experience and see its reflection in my outer world. At times, it feels like an emotional landslide. A realization that much of what we know is steadily falling away, like there is a bottomless pit of the unknown so far away, yet so near.

Each day presents an opportunity to go inward and harmonize what the shadow has yet to reveal. Each of our shadows will reflect that aspect in our reality over and over, until we address and accept it. It is a part of us that we must also love. As I embrace this knowing and become the watcher, I create immense love in my heart for all aspects of myself. I transform rejections into lessons of beauty. What I am reflecting outward without awareness is what my soul seeks to heal. We must accept and embrace all our aspects, using the transformed low-vibrating emotion, turning it into compost, so it fuels and nourishes the new seeds of creation for even more beauty and peace. Like the seasons, this is an ongoing and natural cycle within us.

When we do this inner gardening, the resulting harvest goes out into the world and makes a difference. It is felt. It is not easy during those times when we face conflict or adversity. It is so easy to blame the outside world and not take responsibility for our own emotions or feelings. We each have the power and the love inside of ourselves to keep striving for the best, and to nurture that love for ourselves. When we do the work, we can watch and see the magic garden of our souls unfold.

At times, it may appear impossible to reach a place of calm, freedom, or love. Especially if you feel defeated, attacked or have a huge lack of energy due to pain or loss. Letting go of the old patterns and habits is not easy for the ego. We are running on memories of the past, of who we were in different timelines and realities, sending our energy into the abyss. On our soul level and in our higher-self knowing, we realize this and also that our present moments are here wanting our full engagement, and the only time that exists. Human beings are exposed to everything happening at once, past, present and future. The present only depends on where you put your focus and energy.

Everyone wants to get to the finish line and speed up the process. That is not what the New Earth is about. We actually need to minimize in so many respects, and get back to simplicity and the basics. There is too much noise and too much information coming in, bombarding our energy fields. Many people are expecting quick solutions that require understanding and knowledge. They must reconcile this before moving on to the next event or experience. Each person has their own experience and journey to understand and know. It takes quite a commitment, and much patience to develop deep understandings with love, care, and wisdom to move forward on the journey.

Quite often, within transformation and change, feelings of failure or shame pop up. Often, these feelings drain our energy, but are also just part of the journey; the pivotal piece that is ready to reveal the huge dream or creation we were asking for. When this happens, take time to assess. Become acutely aware of current feelings and emotions, then regroup to accept and allow. When we care for this part, we’ll move up the evolutionary spiral. Our souls know this; it is the ego that thinks it is serving us well in protection that may protest. The key to being in the moment is not about fixing, but aligning with acceptance. We lower resistance to allow what we have created into our field, to learn from and grow. When we align with the energy, we move into a new frequency. How we know this is happening is that, with the release and acceptance, often comes an overwhelming elation and joy in our hearts. There is a strong motivation and desire to continue, but to do so with even more confidence than before. Immense love for self emerges, and strong or potent opinions that we held fast to before quietly fade, so the next empowerment piece can take hold.

Tips to begin with your Reiki Tools:

Recycling Chakra year : The concept of "Recycling Chakra Years" (as described in Cyndi Dale's work). This is a time when individuals begin to cycle through the seven main chakras annually on their birthday, starting at age 14. This process proceeds in seven-year cycles, with the development of the seventh (crown) chakra beginning at age 14. The recycling of chakras 1 (Root) through 7 (Crown) occurs sequentially each year, focusing on the pieces relevant to the chakra currently being recycled. By age 56, an individual has gone through all developmental stages of chakras 1 through 12.
Open-heart connection : Love for self through Reiki Practice of self-healing.
Cho-ku-Rei: Awareness of the energy generated with this symbol and connecting it to Dainichi Nyorai.
Sei-he-Ki Meditation: Clears the heart and mind, allowing the heart to open to receive. This also helps to transform bad habits and addictions.
Cacao Daily Ritual: Enjoying a high-end, 100% pure grade cacao as a superfood with particular properties for our health. It also helps open our heart-mind to feel-good, loving emotions for self and others.

Making Space for Change

Sat, 07 Mar 2026 04:13:57 GMT

The Universe has a big ask from all of us now that the March 3rd eclipse has passed. If you felt an urgency to let go of the old and make space to honour the new, you have indeed heard the call. With or without our awareness and cooperation, the universe demands change, and the eclipse energy marks the beginning.

How do we effectively make space for this new phase while feeling and reeling in the yo-yo energy of back-and-forth, to-and-fro, of this transformation? Remember, this is a typical cycle of physical and natural laws. If we steady our fears to greet this phase, the universe will take care of the rest. Now is the time to ask ourselves what change the universe needs from us, and be prepared to follow through. Then we will flow with change, rather than struggle against the current

Am I ready? It sure doesn't feel like it. It feels like I’m getting squeezed through a very narrow passage, unsure if I will come out on the other side, whole again. Personally, I really feel like I want to yell, “Wait, I’m not done yet!” There is so much more to do, say, fix, acknowledge, and care for. As an observer, it almost feels like the ego is being tricked into thinking there is more time. It creates constructs for secret passages to duck in and out of, in case there is a need to conserve some of those intangibles for later. This is the illusion at work. Deep down, I can hear my ancestors encouraging me to stay on course, while the old patterns just keep trying to figure out how to survive. Isn’t survival the real dominant program? What is that drive for survival for anyway? In my opinion, most of it is very old ancestral programming. Since humans have not readily accepted change, it is much easier to just keep bulldozing through, ignoring, and perpetuating the cellular memory to just get more of the familiar same.

The thing is, the universe is showing us new possibilities, new choices to move through, and leave the old behind. If we can learn to trust it, be grateful for it, and feel blessed by what the newness delivers, change can appear gracefully. Of course, change waits for no one. The wheels are gonna roll with or without us. We must find the skill to stay within the momentum, moving through and with, rather than stalling and resisting, if we wish not to get run over.

2026 presents the opportunity for a great reset and to move with the change. Inner work is the most profound and important way to continue being part of it, and to co-create within it. Most surely, you can count on the planets to reveal what is needed. If you have learned any skills for navigating the energies, you will surely succeed. It is no longer about surviving this third dimension; it is about overcoming old patterns and emotions, and creating the new reality, one that no longer keeps humanity locked into all aspects of control.

The bottom line is, let go and make space to flow with change. We are being asked to make space in all aspects: our physical habitats, our bodies, minds and spirits. If there is no space, an overflow will occur. Like water that is dammed, it will find somewhere else to go. It will move through and over whatever is in its way, carving out a new path. If you make space, overwhelm will lower, and flow happens gently and naturally.

Tips to begin with your Reiki Tools:

Cho-ku-Rei - Awareness of the energy generated with this symbol and connecting to Dainichi Nyorai.
Crown Chakra - Open to the energies and synchronize with the planets, the cosmos, and your higher self for your meditations.
Open-heart connection - Touch the centre of your chest with your thumbs, keeping them in a prayer mudra. Ask the Buddhas of the Diamond and Womb world to be with you.
Create Trust - Working with your spirit through the heart, 2nd chakra (womb), and 6th chakra (third eye/intuition) allows genuine flow between the universe and your spirit.
Meditate daily - Any time set aside to meditate, even as little as 10 minutes a day, will bring focus and clarity.
Daily Self-healing - Use Reiki and connect to the chakra you are recycling through.
Community gatherings - participate with like-minded souls to learn and connect more to new aha’s!
Take a step - begin with yourself first. When stuck, find a mentor; remember, they are there to help you, not to do the work for you.
Recap your year - take stock of the year you are in, and which chakra you are recycling through. This is a guide and a measure to help you start helping yourself.

Grab the Vine and Swing Into Dharma

Thu, 05 Feb 2026 22:47:29 GMT

Dharma is walking in harmony with our authentic self, no longer being at the cause and effect of the tides of karma, good or bad. When we rise with the beauty of our authentic self, the shackles of karma fall away. Now we are co-creating and walking with our spirit self in truth. This is the place where polarity and duality weave into neutrality, where empowerment is discovered, and we know who we are and what we are doing here in this human experience.

When we find this sweet spot where the pendulum is vibrating in the middle, we are receiving a direct line to our higher self. We feel safe to be vulnerable again and lead with our heart. Knowing that we hold the power, the magic and the beauty, all of life becomes a play, a reflection to help us navigate the lessons we agreed to learn. What helps us maintain our course along the way is remembering sacred principles, like as above and so below, as within so without, the power of sacred geometry, and how to tap into the cosmos for infinite creation. We are here to have a human experience of feeling. We express and relate in so many ways through all of our senses, that our perspectives are numerous. Each of us must work our way through the puzzles that our senses relay and that lay before us in our individual ‘Fool’s Journey’ . Age, material assets and status do not matter, only what you have learned, and how you connect with this reality, truly makes a difference.

The Hermetic principles are a great guide to understanding basic laws. Especially right now at this linear point in time, in this month and year of February, 2026. The principles of Cause and Effect, and Polarity are a good place to begin. These laws depict what we would define as karmic cycles. Our chakras hold all our blueprints of programs, patterns, and inherited ancestral behaviours. Karma can be resolved by healing and resolving the distortions we find encoded in the mirrors of our chakras. This is the place to start to look at what is being reflected back to us in our world. Current life or the many Akashic experiences past, present and future will illuminate where the entanglement lies, and how it is also recorded in our cells. Karma can only be resolved and transformed in the reality it was created. That is why our chakras hold the key or codes for our energy bodies. The chakras, one through seven, reveal what patterns or shadows keep us locked in until we take responsibility to clear, or ‘pay’ the debt of, karma. The trapped energies may be from our ancestors' actions and current families. The cycles will keep repeating until our death in this life and into the next human experience, if we do not reconcile them. A great measure to really know where you are at is to check the chakra you are completing on each birthday. Notice how well you did on healing those pieces related to the chakra and if the karma has been repaid and complete. You will know instantly if a pattern has stopped repeating, if a behaviour has changed, and possibly a relationship has taken on a new and harmonious light. Each chakra is related to a different area of life and perspective, and its mirrors will work throughout the year to provide opportunities to correct distorted and broken patterns that no longer serve.

It is important to know which chakra you are recycling through now, and which you will be contending with on your next birthday. Awareness is the key, and knowing what tools can be used will set us up for success. Having chakras read and the seals reset may be a good start, but the effects can be powerful and overwhelming if you are not ready. Reiki or Qi Gong are another tool to help master the language of understanding energy and to read our chakra mirrors. They are gentle and effective tools to use at any time.

Tips to begin with your Reiki Tool:

Reiki Hon Sha Ze Sho Nen symbol - Invoke it if you have level 2 Reiki and start to connect to the Akashic records.
Crown Chakra - Imagine the flow of golden light in through the crown and out of the tips of your toes.
Open-heart connection - Touch the centre of your chest with your thumbs, keeping them in a prayer mudra. Ask the Buddhas of the Diamond and Womb world to be with you.
Create Trust - Working with your spirit through the heart, 2nd chakra (womb), and 6th chakra (third-eye, intuition), allows genuine flow between the universe and your spirit.
Meditate daily - Any time set aside to meditate, even as little as 10 minutes a day, will bring focus and clarity.
Daily Self healing - Use Reiki and connect to the chakra you are recycling through.
Community gatherings - participate with like-minded souls to learn and connect more to new aha’s!
Take a step - begin with yourself first. When stuck, find a mentor; remember, they are there just to help you remember, not to do the work for you.
Recap your year - take stock of the year you are in, and which chakra you are recycling through. This is a guide and a measure for you to start helping yourself.

Let Us Begin

Sat, 03 Jan 2026 19:41:47 GMT

At this time in the here and now, a new understanding, a knowing that we are not familiar with but somehow our soul knows, is present. This human experience in these cycle(s) perpetuates expansion that humans have not seen before, at least not astrologically, from what can be found or previously reviewed. We know that other experiences, not of this reality, have been dreamt and felt before. There is an instinct or feeling inside us all that knows this. Many are awakening and remembering. Many just feel an alignment, automatically knowing what is the right thing to do. The Soul feels at home, and more at ease now.

New feelings of motivation, hope, and clarity will continue to appear. Of course, feelings of fear and holding back are still there, as this still may feel safer to some. If we are honest with ourselves, we will see that our fear is baseless. No one is really judging us now, except ourselves. Our own perspective is the only one that matters, as it’s the one that drives our reality. Check judgement at all levels, and leave it at the door. Learn to dismiss those programs. We will gain clarity and find that the motivation to move forward is not so elusive after all. This year is about taking back our power and holding ourselves true to our soul path.

How do we show up authentically? As an elder, I am going to take ownership of this role and do my best to be authentic, alive, and courageous for me, my family, and my community. I will accomplish this by being grounded, walking in harmony with nature, the Earth and my ancestors. That is it. I let go of the programming of false truths, by embracing my inner knowing and being present in life in each second and moment. I will continue to practice being a good image maker and support others, to help them find their true, authentic self.

What works for you? Do you have the courage to hear what your soul is saying, and trust what is the truth? It may require significant changes in your life, and potential new territories not yet travelled to or experienced. Are you willing to try them on and see where it takes you? I am. There is never a wrong way, only your own way.

As a community, we will be allowing ourselves to connect with our inner knowing on a level that many dare not go. We will explore many new ways to create from the vast knowledge we already have access to. All we must do is trust, learn and take action. We will all be listening for the nuances to get there, and help be a reflection to each other. If we give ourselves some ease and grace, we will find the magic and beauty we’ve been hoping for, and like what we see, feel, and know.

Tips to begin:

Invoke Reiki - turn on the intuitive switch that allows you to connect to a deep inner knowing . Reiki is one of our tools - use it!
Morning ritual - create time and space to experience the energy of the day.
Open-heart connection - touch the centre of your chest with your thumbs, keeping them in a prayer mudra. Ask the Buddhas of the Diamond and Womb world to be with you.
Be with Nature - stay connected while walking, sitting or travelling .
Meditate daily - wherever you are, as a beginner or seasoned practitioner.
Hydrate well - water contains natural electrolytes, but to enhance its vibration and healing frequency, infuse your water with Reiki symbols and other prayers and intentions. Water has memory and can hold those frequencies.
Muscle Test - should you ingest a food, drink, or substance? Listen to what your body is saying. Go low into your womb space (2nd Chakra), and connect to your 6th and 4th chakras. Hold the item in question close to your body, face the North and see whether you lean backwards, forward, or remain neutral. Moving forward is a yes, and backward is a no. Another option is to muscle test with your non-dominant arm (i.e., the left arm, if you are right-handed). Hold out your arm while holding the item in question, and see if it stays strong and straight or becomes weak and wants to move downward. If it moves downward, then it is not what your body needs today.
Get together in community - participate with like-minded souls.
Take a step - begin with yourself first. When stuck, find a mentor; remember they are there just to help you remember, and not to do it for you.
Recap your year - take stock of the year you are in, and which chakra you are recycling through. This is a guide and a measure for you, so you can start helping yourself. Teachings and sessions are available if you wish to know more. Here is a link to the Ki Lifestyle page, which offers free information you can download.

Preparing to Leap!

Thu, 04 Dec 2025 21:17:23 GMT

Preparing to leap into the unknown is always a daunting task, but this December has many energies lending new insights, ideas, and creativity. The most important question here is, “Are we ready to leap?” When the urge to take decisive action is upon us, have we been listening to our higher knowing, self-guidance, and intuition? Or are we accessing the knowledge that is here for everyone to use? The right timing is present, revealing new opportunities now. We may be finding that what was being asked of us previously has changed; it had to, to prepare us for the next part of our journey. We are connected to everything, and everything is connected to us. This entanglement that is, and has always been there, somehow also has a divine order.

I hear the call, I hear the whispers in the ethers. Like a cat readying itself to pounce and leap, with intention, skill, and precision, to hit the mark. If we have been listening and preparing for this next leg of the journey, then what has been so close to our hearts may now be turning into the transformation we have asked for. There will be no returning to the old/familiar. The call for each of us is for deep trust in ourselves, the Universe, God, Spirit and the Creator. When 2026 arrives, transformational portals will begin at zero once again. Those desires and changes that meant so much in previous years will no longer be there.

Fortunately, we have tools, maps or blueprints to follow, especially when it comes to the shadows of our unfinished personal healing, or entanglements with others. Much of this turmoil has been working itself through. We are, however, still going to experience a massive destruction phase before the structural pieces are recreated and moved into the new. Many are not ready to leap and, sadly, have not prepared.

We have all come here for different journeys and different experiences in this human form. Our perceptions of reality, and what that may look like, are also unique to each of us. The planets, stars and our environments are the energies that still guide, tutor, and support this life journey.

I will be preparing and going deep into myself to access the new pieces that are mine to do this month, and for the first couple of months of 2026. Part of this journey will be to access the ancestral teachings from all my lifetimes of shining and beauty, and to utilize the tools and practices I have learned along the way, to gain deeper access than ever before. I will blend these learnings into community sharing and shine the light on a path that has long been forgotten. The Earth, the plants, and the animals will also be teaching and guiding, as they speak louder than ever before. Reiki is part of this journey for me, but, looking beyond the human ideas, rules, and laws we impose on ourselves and others, it is also being asked to transcend them. The ancient energy from the past has lain dormant long enough. It wishes to arise and be seen in a new way, with a new light.

There has been an awakening, and some enlightenment that I am still learning from. As I observe and take in this transformational energy, I see a whole new world beginning. I see opportunities to experience this time we have dreamt ourselves into, here and now, in a different way than most are accustomed to. I am grateful for the immense dreaming and dedication that so many souls are bringing forward to pioneer this new reality. It may not even be fully realized for another 100 years, but our soul knows. It is our true nature, and it is time to leap into the unknown and start again.

Tips for Preparing to LEAP:

Invoke Reiki - Turn on the intuitive switch that allows you to connect to a deep inner knowing .
Morning ritual - Create time and space to experience the energy of the day.
Open-heart connection: Touch the centre of your chest with your thumbs, keeping them in a prayer mudra . Ask the Buddhas of the Diamond and Womb world to be with you.
Surrender - Open up to receive with no attachment (magic happens).
Hand Mudra - Palms are open and face up to receive information and energy.
Calm the mind - Listen to your breath or a continuous noise - no thought.
Meditate - Reiki II and Master level do the Morning Star meditation. Go into a place of gratitude, acknowledge that you do the best you can with what you have, and where you are, and move into your day. This will keep you connected to your intentions, purpose and the golden light energy.
Hydrate well - Water contains natural electrolytes, but to enhance its vibration and healing frequency, infuse your water with Reiki symbols and other prayers and intentions. Water has memory and can hold those frequencies.
Muscle Test - Should you ingest a food, drink, or substance? Listen to what your body is saying. Go low into your womb space (2nd Chakra), and connect to your 6th and 4th chakras. Hold the item in question close to your body, face the North and see whether you lean backwards, forward, or remain neutral. Moving forward is a yes, and backward is a no. Another option is to muscle test with your arm, use the non-dominant arm (i.e. left arm if you are right handed). Hold out your arm while holding the item in question, and see if it stays strong and straight or becomes weak and wants to move downward. If it moves downward, then it is not what your body needs today.

Alignment with Fifth Dimension

Thu, 06 Nov 2025 16:39:45 GMT

Reiki and Alignment in the Fifth Dimension

Are we already in the 5D? The weirdness is that those who have been awakening and doing the inner work are having difficulty staying in it 24/7. Symptoms that indicate this shift may be that people we once knew have vanished from our lives, ringing in the ears, déjà vu, time distortion, digestive issues, dreams that feel real, and physical pain that comes and goes. There is nothing wrong with us, although our programs lead us to feel this way. We keep trying to validate this from our outside world, especially when the medical world says we are fine. We are vibrating at a new frequency, and our body is catching up. This is something our soul already knows. Trusting our inner knowing will help us through the transition.

The constant flow back and forth between realities creates confusion, doubt, and heaviness. Unreleased, outdated belief systems prevent us and our awareness from unfolding into being present, grounded, and centred. They hamper our ability to remain in this resonance. We have been given a beautiful gift by Dr. Usui — a superior and protective way to connect on deeper levels of consciousness. Why do we not trust and rely on our Reiki teachings to know we can be in this new fifth dimension with the tool of Reiki? Quite simply, follow our inner trust, resolve karmic actions, and create a continual flow of love with Reiki for ourselves, for clients, family and friends. It is intended for our own healing first, and to ensure we are continuously giving to our energy field, transforming/transmuting karmic energies that no longer serve us. Reiki is pure LOVE; it is the energy of the fifth dimension. The more we experience this, the more we let go of the shadow cast by what we experience in the outside world.

When we get too far ahead of ourselves, we get pulled back to the basic concept of what it is to be a Reiki Master. What it is to be “of service” - finding our way through how our body communicates, being the watcher of what we bear witness to. Ultimately, the reflection we see is meant to help us understand, identify the gifts, and create change within ourselves. Ask yourself , do I feel my world has changed significantly since a year ago?

The universe is constantly reflecting to us; all we need to do is quiet the noise and listen. Remove distractions and start to feel the energy. Reiki offers clarity, resilience, compassion, and love exactly where we need it most.

Tips for aligning with the Fifth Dimension:

Invoke Reiki - upon waking each day. Use the Cho-ku-Rei and Dai-ko-myo symbols. With your hands placed on your heart, speak aloud, “I am in the 5D experience all day. I am love, I am light, I am timeless, I am limitless, I am home, I observe, witness and create my world. I am love, I am compassion.” Feel this as a truth, not an affirmation or hope.
Energy flow. Breathe and move the energy down to the one-point (Tan Tien).
Energy and prayers. Send to others and to yourself.
Open-heart connection. Touch the centre of your chest with your thumbs, keeping them in a prayer mudra position. Ask the Buddhas of the Diamond and Womb world to be with you.
Surrender. Open up to receive with no attachment.
Hand Mudra. Palms are open and face up to receive information and energy
Calm the mind. Listen to your breath or a continuous noise - no thought.
Meditate. Go into a place of gratitude, acknowledge that you do the best you can with what you have and where you are, and move into your day.
Hydrate well . Water already contains natural electrolytes, but you can also enhance its vibration and healing frequency. Infuse your water with Reiki symbols, as well as other prayers and intentions. Water has memory and can hold those frequencies.
Program your food. Before you eat, bless food with Reiki Love and acknowledge that it is providing your body with bioavailable nutrition.
Eliminate low-vibrating emotions. Fear, anxiety, shame, and guilt can be cleared and released daily with the Sei-hei-ki, then choose to call in love.
Day-end recap. Do a review of what you have learned, where you fell short, and what needs more work to stay in the 5D. Our inner knowing, which guides us through the Physical, Emotional, Mental and Spiritual, should be in balance by day's end. Celebrate the 5D experiences that you recognized in your day. Eventually, the gap of separation will get smaller.

If you need help facilitating any steps or still feel stuck, reach out. A little guidance will take you far. Alternatively, try a Tarot/Oracle Reading from Ki Lifestyle and a Shamanic Akashic Record reading. Shamanic and Reiki sessions are also available for assemblage shifting or other issues. These tools help gain insight, identify what keeps you stuck, and create strategies to achieve your goals.

Reiki and "The Veil"

Tue, 30 Sep 2025 21:52:46 GMT

The ‘Veil' - the dividing line between the divine, and this physical construct of earth. So many of us still don’t see the magic that can be witnessed between here and there. Often, you will hear that the veil is thinner than it has been at other times of the year, or during a spiritual retreat or ceremony. We are the creators of our existence. We have the power to make this happen, whether we are attuned and initiated into Reiki, or not.

The difference between having Reiki as a lifestyle, as opposed to not having it, was revealed to me over the past couple of years. I see how quickly people are learning what took me 10 to 15 years to accomplish. Good news for those who waited, and also for those who started three decades ago. The time construct is an illusion. Time doesn’t exist, so really, we are all precisely where we need to be. Comparison using a timeline, really, is a process of our perceptions and what we align with in the moment. For example, I am currently in a new meditation practice, and a new experience has arisen. In this experience, a whole new reality unfolds, presenting a new opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of myself, and create more extraordinary experiences. Reiki will bring us all to this place eventually, guided and protected so our childlike wonder can develop and take us beyond the veil. Can we achieve this without Reiki? Absolutely, but as a person who is sensitive to energy, I find this modality has given me the love and grace to explore with childlike wonder. I still get to listen to, and follow my higher knowing, and it insists that I do so, but I get to move along at the pace of growth that serves me best (even if my ego thinks differently). Not all of it has been easy, but as parents allow their child to learn to walk and become more human, so does God, Spirit and the creator, allow us to develop in whatever way is intended for each of us. This reflection has both positive and negative aspects, from which we can learn. Soon, the child knows not to touch the hot flame or burning wood.

Beyond the veil is where we can heal ourselves physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. This is where the supernatural kicks in. As this human experience unfolds, we get to observe, watch and learn. Become the watcher, become the magician, and orchestrate the reality your eyes desire to see. There is no prescribed timing, or amount of required waiting. We only need to allow flow, let go, and enjoy the experience. This is only possible when we are the closest to the veil, or when there is the thinning of the veil, as the veil itself on this side of the human experience creates the illusion. Reality awaits beyond the veil—the experience where we heal, grow, and evolve into our life purpose, the place of our universal connection to our creator self, and where we recognize who our guides, teachers, and higher self are, as well as the reality we desire to be in.

When invoking the Cho-ku-Rei symbol, take your time, do it with intention and focus. Pause and wait to feel the energy. Really, DO NOT RUSH. Feel it, know it, and understand it. Even if we are seasoned masters, and have been doing it for a long time, this is all the more reason to do this step with intentional clarity and smoothness. As the veils are so very, very thin, you may be surprised by the magic, and how reality can change into beauty so quickly. If we spend too much time in a single state when we're out in the world, we can get stuck. If we no longer like this experience, we sometimes forget that we have the power and tools to change it. Reiki keeps us tuned and connected to creating our desired reality.

Tips for aligning with the “Veil”:

Invoke Reiki. Use the Cho-ku-Rei and Sei-hei-ki symbols and ground them into the Earth. Be slow and precise, and pause for at least 40 to 90 seconds after you invoke the emblem.
Energy flow. Breathe and move the energy down to the one-point (Tan Tien).
Open-heart connection. Simply touch the centre of your chest with your thumbs, keeping them in a prayer mudra position.
Surrender. Open up to receive with childlike wonder.
Calm the mind. Hear your breath or a continuous noise - no thought.
Meditation. Starting with a simple OM Meditation is excellent, 10 to 15 minutes, allow yourself to feel.
Breathing. Circle your breath - up from the bottom of the left foot and up the body over the crown, and then exhale down the right side.
Consult your inner knowing. See if your inner knowing relays any messages, images, or body sensations.
Pay attention . An image is worth a thousand words.
Journal. Write, dream and create what those meanings are for you.
Take action. Move and do one thing that brings reality closer to you.

If you need help facilitating any steps, or still feel stuck, reach out. A little guidance will take you far. Alternatively, try a Tarot/Oracle Reading from Ki Lifestyle and a Shamanic Akashic Record reading. Shamanic and Reiki sessions are also available for assemblage shifting or other issues. These tools help gain insight, identify what keeps you stuck, and create strategies to achieve your goals.

Reiki and the "As Above"

Sat, 30 Aug 2025 20:51:53 GMT

September- How to Align with the "As Above with Reiki"

The ‘As Above' energy is the stars, the planets, the sky, the air, the mind and the universal space above us. So, why would Reiki make a difference? Reiki is a tool specific to the energetics of alchemy, like an antenna that connects us immediately to a frequency. This radio signal brings the amazing quantum energy into sync with that particular signal. Cho-Ku-Rei, for example, is the power switch that allows energy to flow and channels the light universal vibrations to come directly into us. Dr. Usui’s initiation of this energy is such a tremendous gift for us. In Shamanic practices, earth medicine brings together the “As Above” with the “So Below” to show us connection and contrast.

Everything has contrast, with two sides, such as positive-negative, light-dark, and yin-yang. It provides balance to all things, and without it, how would we know all the possibilities that could exist, ‘good’ or ‘bad’? In the moments of navigating the world as it is today, we have these fantastic Reiki tools at our disposal at all times. Cho-ku-Rei allows me to empower myself to connect with my inner medicine wheel, observe energy that may not be flowing well, and be grounded. This one symbol can do so much. Even when I connect to the alignment of the planets and their movement through the cosmos, it magnifies a truth and brings it closer to me. Light or shadow, it does not matter. I have learned to hear and experience everything, not just the pleasant things. I learn from the contrast of experiencing the 'unpleasant things’ too. What I have definitely found is the next direction or experience that will move me forward on my path, whether smooth or bumpy. I practiced this during my mini holiday last week.

Although it was great to go back to my childhood home and see friends and family again, I couldn't wait to return to my sanctuary. The energy in this new location, from this group of people, was random and unpredictable for me. By engaging with my Reiki and Earth Medicine tools, I was able to remain grounded in the moment, and I needed less time to realign and settle back into my routine upon returning home. I especially noticed that through this work, I was able to discern what was not mine to do, and I avoided getting entangled in energies that were not mine either. I was able to remain neutral, with no story and no fuss. I simply moved the timeline to where I desired to be. Cho-Ku Rei does this immediately.

When invoking the Cho-ku-Rei symbol, take your time and do it with intention and focus. Pause and wait to feel the energy. Really, DO NOT RUSH. Feel it, know it, and understand it. Even if we are seasoned masters and have been doing it for a long time, this is all the more reason to do this step with intentional clarity and smoothness. As the veils are so very, very thin, you may be surprised by the magic and how reality can change into beauty so quickly. If we spend too much time in a single state when we're out in the world, we can get stuck. If we no longer like this experience, we sometimes forget that we have the power and tools to change it. Reiki keeps us tuned and connected to creating our desired reality.

Tips for aligning with the “As Above”:

Invoke Reiki. Use the Cho-ku-Rei and Sei-he-ki symbols and ground them into the Earth. Be slow and precise, and pause for at least 40 to 90 seconds after you invoke the emblem.
Energy flow. Breathe and move the energy down to the one-point (Tan Tien).
Observe. Notice what you are feeling, knowing and experiencing.
Reframe. Lose judgment and get out of right and wrong.
Ceremonies. Continue with rituals that help you connect to the elements, especially air—the mind.
Time out. Remove yourself and listen to what the body is relaying, then take action to mitigate any energy loss. Do not allow yourself to give away or lose energy because your ego is struggling with the energy of others.

If you need help facilitating any steps or still feel stuck, reach out. A little guidance will take you far. Alternatively, try a Tarot/Oracle Reading from Ki Lifestyle and a Shamanic Akashic Record reading. Shamanic and Reiki sessions are also available for assemblage shifting or other issues. These tools help gain insight, identify what keeps you stuck, and create strategies to achieve your goals.

Stay in Flow with Reiki!

Thu, 31 Jul 2025 15:15:09 GMT

August- How to Stay in Flow During Chaos!

Those attuned to Reiki may be better able to connect to a state of flow, while chaotic energy shifts, than those who are not attuned. However, if a person has energy and body awareness, and the knowledge of how to be grounded, they may also be better able to stay present and align with chaotic energy, to also remain in a state of flow. The keywords here are connect, grounded and present. This is a challenge with most folks. It is the ability to be grounded with an open-hearted connection that leads us to know much more about the flow of energy than what the five senses are witnessing. This is where we often get trapped, as we close off our hearts, disconnect from the Earth, and call on experiences of the past. It becomes our go-to response or reaction, reinforcing the patterns that keep us stuck.

Meditation helps, but you also have to move within life, and operate from a place of knowing, not with your head in the higher realms. The head or body experience must be present in the now in order to open up to other possibilities, a step that is often overlooked. Reiki is a tool for learning, and gaining an understanding of how to work with the energy field, also known as the auric field. The symbols are powerful and can provide an immediate connection to help us stay in flow during chaos. My daily rituals and practices have been monumental in creating a safe space for me to be in the flow during times of chaos. I trust and know that my body will align, and tell me what is needed, how to respond, or how to remain in flow at every moment.

As I learn more about the element of water and its remarkable properties, I am also discovering its profound power of memory. The more I recall compassion, courage, love, and gratitude, the more my powerful flow of energy stays in the present, and is not wasted on the past or the future. When I invoke the symbol cho-ku-rei and sei-he-ki into my body or the water I drink, it creates an imprint and a deep connection to the water element. Our bodies are composed of over 60 percent water, and some other parts of us are even higher. Why is this so relevant to staying in flow? The water element teaches us that it is not just for hydrating and cleansing, it is also the communicator for our cells and the Earth’s cells. It is the memory bringer, and when we can remember how powerful we are, in the chaos, we stand to gain strength and endurance to stay in the flow. Reiki enhances our rituals and ceremonies by adding energy, utilizing a language that water responds to, as do our bodies. This is healing for our cells, as it is nourished with a purity that informs the body it is safe, allowing it to stop responding to the parasympathetic nervous system, which often communicates through cellular memory. Reiki eliminates the guesswork, allowing for a smoother flow. Like all our energy work, intention and prayer play a significant role in this. A balance of electrolytes and trace minerals is necessary to reach the cells and rehydrate them. If the body is healed and feels safe, then our survival response will not remain in overdrive. Reiki is a tool to help us navigate and stay in flow amidst chaos.

Tips for Staying in Flow through Chaos:

Invoke Reiki Symbols. Use Cho-ku-Rei and Sei-he-ki- and ground into the Earth. Use your mind's eye to visualize the symbols at the 6th chakra, 4th chakra, and 10th chakra.
Trust your intuition. What are you sensing? Hear your heart-mind; do not make knee-jerk reactions. Give yourself room to reflect on what you have just learned. Journal, practice meditation or practice Reiki self-healing for your nervous system.
Be in the moment. Practice being in gratitude and compassion. A mantra or Reiki symbol can help you get back to the present moment when you feel lost.
Allow for exploration. What is your body feeling and experiencing, don’t deny or block what you think or feel.
Go within. Keep working on compassion for yourself and others. Ultimate unconditional love has no judgment. Reiki is another way to replenish yourself with positive energy, and cultivate compassion.
Dedicate time to ceremonies. Continue with rituals that help you connect to the elements, especially water.
Daily self check-in. Are you living up to the new choices and agreements you made with yourself? Re-evaluate the strategies and rituals that keep you present and moving towards your soul's path, or what brings joy into your life.

If you need help facilitating any steps or still feel stuck, reach out. A little guidance will take you far. Alternatively, try a Tarot/Oracle Reading from Ki Lifestyle and a Shamanic Akashic Record reading. Shamanic and Reiki sessions are also available for assemblage shifting or other issues. These tools help gain insight, identify what keeps you stuck, and create strategies to achieve your goals.

Reiki and a Changing Reality

Wed, 25 Jun 2025 23:28:13 GMT

July- How to Manage and Embrace a New Reality

I can personally attest to the unusual energy of these changing times, as can many in our community of energy lightworkers. We often share our experiences at community events and in our ceremonial spaces. One of the most profound and helpful strategies I have used to balance myself is to remain grounded and centered, connected to Gaia, Earth, the Mother. It sounds simple, but many are still struggling, even though they know this is what is needed. They find themselves leaving their bodies or losing their focus very easily. We often attribute this to the natural process of aging or brain fog, but it is much more than that. Our physical bodies are communicating something on a larger scale, and we need to pay attention to it. It may feel like trying to find a needle in a haystack, but if you have been taking care of your temple, your physical container, then you may find this much easier to be aware of.

I can tell those who are attuned to Reiki and those who are not. I can attest that the folks on the Reiki journey are quicker to understand their bodily sensations. They can listen and respond quickly to their needs while tapping into their intuition. They are able to connect to their bodies, despite many other factors that attempt to impede their bodies’ ability to communicate with them. Those factors include what we ingest and what we put on our bodies, such as lotions and creams. Additionally, the environments in which we live contain pollutants and contaminants in our food, air, and water.

As we enter this new reality, we must be mindful and make better choices. It’s surprising how many great options are available to enhance our daily living. Reiki energy can help cleanse our environment, food sources, water, and air. I use Reiki regularly to improve what I ingest, but also because it helps me integrate products into my physical being. As I begin to vibrate at a higher level, I don’t need as much from the physical world, and I can choose higher-quality products that require very little extra energy and cleansing. It synchronistically enhances all aspects of myself. Over time, you can learn to feel the vibration of the products you wish to choose. For example, you can determine whether a food is beneficial for you to ingest or not. You can feel if it is vibrating at a rate that works with you. If you are vibrating at a lower rate, a higher vibrational product may be too intense, but one with a lower vibration may not be adequate for your needs.

For me, the one thing that I can always use to discern what is right for me is Reiki. I can use it anywhere and at any time I need it. I practice Self-Reiki in the evening to ground myself after a day of intense human interaction. In the morning, it's meditation or a quick morning ritual with some integration from the previous night's dreams. I channel lifeforce to help clear and ground myself before going to bed. I can easily do this sitting and resting. I appreciate the calmness it brings, even in stressful moments with life's inevitable ups and downs.

Along with Reiki and the other daily practices I have shared, here are some tips I have used to help align with my new reality.

Tips for aligning to the new reality

Note your dreams. Journal and reflect on the details the next day.
Check in with your body . Are you tired and achy or on top of the world? Notice the areas of your body that are impacted and which chakra they relate to. What is that telling you?
Use muscle testing. Make decisions through your higher knowing that aligns with your body . For example, use the arm-strength method to be sure that taking a particular supplement or over-the-counter medication will be beneficial for you.
Ground yourself daily . Go into nature and go barefoot as often as possible, indoors and outside. When the weather does not permit, use a grounding mat or wear grounding shoes.
Acknowledge unexpected emotions. Suppressing feelings can lead to stagnation and increase the risk of disease. First, discern if they are coming from either the field or noise (energetic interference, which includes thoughts from others, or unresolved emotions resurfacing). A release may be necessary to move blocked energy or accumulated entanglement from others. Reiki is suitable for this.
Practice compassion. Go within and keep working on compassion for yourself and others. Ultimate unconditional love has no judgment. Reiki is another way to replenish yourself with positive energy and cultivate compassion.
Document synchronicities. Take note and look for meaning behind recurring patterns, like repeating numbers and number sequences.
Accept change without attachment. You may notice behaviour changes in people around you. People may suddenly leave the community, while others come into your life who feel like you have known for a long time.
Witness time shifts. If time speeds up or slows down significantly within a single day, something may be shifting. For example, notice if you accomplish more than you thought you would in a day.
Be in the moment. You may notice you are very present and details of most of your activities from weeks ago or even yesterday are not easily retrieved.
Practice clarity and focus . You may need to quell a hasty desire to switch direction and environments, or follow your instincts and allow for transitions.
Remain calm when memory ‘fails’ . You felt certain and had clarity around previous event details, but now there is no evidence that it occurred. This may be a sign of a reality shift.
Use Sei-hei-ki. This Reiki symbol helps clear energy blockages.
Use Cho-ku-Rei. This Reiki symbol sends energy to the 10th chakra, located a foot below your feet, also helps with grounding. Invoke this symbol three times by drawing and speaking it aloud. Take 11 seconds to let it settle and feel the energy or heat.
Use Dai-ko-myo. This Reiki symbol is used to conclude your energy grounding and clearing if you have reached level 3 Reiki. Otherwise, use Cho-ku-rei again. Repeat if needed.
Consult a Reiki practitioner. Even if you are attuned to Reiki and a practitioner yourself, it helps to have guidance and to be part of a community that shares personalized strategies to help support your practice and wellbeing.

If you need help facilitating any steps or still feel stuck, reach out. A little guidance will take you far. Alternatively, try a Tarot/Oracle Reading from Ki Lifestyle and a Shamanic Akashic Record reading. Shamanic and Reiki sessions are also available for assemblage shifting or other issues. These are helpful tools to gain insight, find what keeps you stuck, and help you create strategies to achieve your goals.

Managing Grief with Reiki

Sat, 31 May 2025 21:26:36 GMT

June - How to Manage and Create more Flow

In the past three months, I have experienced much loss in my family. My eldest son, my dear elder dog and elder cat all crossed over the Rainbow Bridge one at a time.

What I have learned, on a profoundly healing level, is how effective and soothing Reiki has been for myself and my loved ones; those who have passed away, and those still here on this Earth. Reiki has been a foundational tool for all of my personal growth and emotional maturity. Through all the healing aspects of self, Reiki was what helped me get through it all. Reiki allowed me to manage my grief lovingly and compassionately. It showed me that I am in control of my needs, and that I have support all around me, if I need it. I asked for help through my spiritual practice with what I needed, and I realized I had the strength to accomplish much more on my own than I thought I could.

I can wholeheartedly confirm that Reiki helps manage the grief of having loved ones cross over, and helps folks transition to the other side with power, dignity and in peace. Reiki empowers individuals as they navigate this significant transition. In the early years of the Reiki Group Healing Team, we had the privilege of assisting clients’ loved ones cross over with beauty and grace. In one particular case, I was astounded by the energy that a Grandmother had for her crossing. We could sense her aura's energy so strongly that she needed little help from us. She did it in her way with ease, grace, beauty and flow. It was truly an empowering experience for all of us who were there to witness it. We had done an integrated Shamanic Reiki healing for her six months before she went to the hospice, to help extend her time on Earth. She only wanted enough time to complete a few more things before her transition, and she did. The Reiki energy made it a smooth transition for her, and it was appreciated by her family, who found it a relief.

I have witnessed powerful and peaceful crossings with the help of Reiki many times, and most recently with my dog, Osito, and our lovely cat, Alice. Alice was nineteen and a half, and a big part of our Reiki world. She made sure we were close to her, sending her Reiki, as she passed away peacefully. Osito, “little O”, as a lot of us referred to him, had heart failure and was struggling for air. We were with him at the vet, administering Reiki for him too, as he passed peacefully.

Unfortunately, very recently, my son also died unexpectedly. We still don’t know why he collapsed while joyfully walking across the street. Nothing medically or physically was evident. I do know that each soul has chosen a time when it desires to cross. With my son’s crossing, as we were not with him at the time, I was able to send him Reiki love for a swift crossing over the bardo, a time of soul resolve or recapitulation, once we learned of his fate. There is much to his story that I will share at another time, with other topics that may be helpful to you. My personal journey to heal myself and my practice of helping others also helped him heal. It is a truly remarkable story that I may share one day. My skills and gifts in energy-healing modalities were a comfort for me. No parent ever wishes to see their children pass before them. The most precious gift that my son left for us is our beautiful granddaughter, who is now an adult. How fortunate we are to have a piece of him still here with us.

It is truly a healing experience to share this, but most of all, I want to express how comforting Reiki has been in helping me and my family over these past three months. I credit the ease, flow and grace we have been able to experience in these grieving times to the fantastic healing energy of Reiki.

I have compiled some practices that I have used during my personal Reiki journey, and most recently to help with grief. These tips for self-care during the loss of a loved one can help you. These practices are for everyone, no matter what level or amount of experience you have with Reiki:

Tips for Self-Care During the Loss of a Loved One

Set a healing intention for yourself, right before bedtime. Allow the intention to unfold in the dreamtime.
Use Reiki and/or intend self-healing every day. Focus your attention on the heart chakra; send yourself love and acceptance.
Ensure you are grounded every day. I went into nature, and when the weather did not permit, I used my grounding mat.
Allow yourself time to acknowledge the loss and process your emotions. After a while, ensure you resume your everyday routines again.
Check in with yourself 3 to 4 times a day to monitor how your emotions are being expressed. Notice if you are short with folks, or jumping into stories of blame or guilt. You should pause and allow yourself to feel even deeper.
Consult a Reiki practitioner for guidance. Even if you are attuned to Reiki and a practitioner yourself, it helps to be part of a community and receive personalized strategies to support your personal practice.
Spend time with a dear, close friend who is supportive and there for you.
Take time off so you have space to take care of yourself. If you are your own boss, block out time in your schedule so you are not disturbed.
Set up an altar with items that resonate with you or your loved one, whatever you are intuitively drawn to. Use it as a focus point to send energy, prayers, or to meditate.
Do a crossing-over ceremony, either on your own or have someone do it for you.
Remember them. Find something special to wear, like a pin, or carry a small item as a reminder that they walk with you. We are one with all that is of source.
Consult a medium or intuitive. If you have questions about what happened to your loved one, a consult or simply a chat with someone who is strongly connected to Spirit can help you resolve feelings or come to terms with your grief.

If you need help facilitating any steps or still feel stuck, reach out. A little guidance will take you far. Alternatively, try a Tarot/Oracle Reading from Ki Lifestyle and a Shamanic Akashic Record reading. Shamanic and Reiki sessions are also available for assemblage shifting or other issues. These are helpful tools to gain insight, find what keeps you stuck, and help you create strategies to achieve your goals.

Soul Purpose and the 5D Reality

Wed, 30 Apr 2025 22:43:09 GMT

May - 5D is A Door to the Soul with Reiki Healing

Reiki is pure love, nothing else. Love does not have an ego; it has compassion, acceptance, care, and beauty. It is raw and honest. All of this is inside each of us, and available to access each day. As we emerge through the release and letting go of ego, shadow, conflict and chaos, the FEELING of the watcher is steadily providing pure love. The only piece that may be missing for many is the acceptance of our capacity for creative change. We possess the alchemist's power to co-create a world of beauty in love!

This is the right time to explore and truly grasp your soul's purpose. Do it on your own, with your family, or with your community; whatever speaks to you. Age and stage of life do not matter; there is no limit on connecting to your soul's purpose. The younger generation could go a long way if encouraged to explore and discover the 5d reality and find their soul purpose.

No one taught the generations of the past, myself included, to feel consciousness and identify our soul's purpose. We were continually told what to think, say, and do, and that was considered normal. We were programmed by a reality that is now definitely in the past. Feeling was not acceptable, nor recognized as an intelligence. Any Empaths can tell you, it was confusing and, at times, destructive not to be taught how to understand feelings. Learning about energy and the emotions that accompany it is 5D; it is and does create and hold love.

Be open to the possibility that we are in a 5D energy, that we are making a new reality and moving into this golden age of opportunity. If everything is energy, then we can change it when we have the right intent. Energy cannot be created or destroyed; it can only be changed from one form to another, which is a fundamental principle in physics.

I invite you to open your mind to a space of creativity, where you can observe and explore through feeling, without fear or the need to judge. Each day offers a new opportunity to practice, and even as we sleep, in the dreamtime. It is easy to take a break from the perception of 3D and 4D realities. Look for, and feel the synchronicities with sacred geometry or numbers. It is all right in front of us, and has been all this time. We are now awake in the 5D. Reiki energy work and/or Qi Gong, along with an understanding of these practices, are a perfect alignment for this era. Below are some action items to help you get started and embrace the feeling of consciousness, creating and immersing yourself in love.

Question: How do we actualize these two steps - embracing the feeling of consciousness and creating and immersing yourself in love?

Answer: We listen and receive insights from our higher self. Follow the crumbs and take action. When we show up for ourselves, we will be more present for everyone.

Top Five Ways to FEEL Your Guidance and Get Closer to a Loving World

Is it getting louder? Here are five strategies to get moving!

Start journaling or recording what your awareness is telling you about the energy around you. What do you feel?

You may have to stop for a moment. Permit yourself to feel. It may only be a knowing that something feels different, strange or off. Still very valid. Write down and describe it the best that you can. If you start spiralling down a rabbit hole of doom and gloom, this is the perfect time to stop and change the feeling. If that is challenging, then a time-out in nature is warranted - just break or shift the energy! Holding a pet or looking at a picture of nature can break the monotony of negativity. Self-Reiki: To transform the energy.

Forgiveness - Move into a forgiveness stage and refrain from taking on the world's issues; change begins with forgiving oneself first. Try H’opnopono practice. Read the words while putting your hands on your heart and nurturing your energy field. Reiki practitioners, you'll receive an extra boost here.
Intention of creation with love - Pull out any lost dreams or desires that motivate you, that evoke your true nature. Dreams can be modified, and look deep into what makes your heart happy and content. Remember, we are in the 5th dimension, and there is a flow of love. Move away from comparing yourself to anyone or anything.
Being in the FEELing of 5D reality - Conscious connection with a feeling begins at the heart chakra. When we identify what is holding us back, we can discern our life purpose. However, if this remains a challenge, then it may require more in-depth work to remove the illusions of being blocked, stuck, or lost. Ki Lifestyle has a new Soul Purpose Breakthrough program that gets right to the root and heart of what keeps you stuck.
Engage with the four elements (Earth, Air, Fire, Water) - Connecting with the elements requires feeling, sensing and knowing. Remove yourself from the perspective of 3D reality, and understand and connect with consciousness, feeling it, moving with it and creating through it. Creation can be anything as simple as painting or colouring a picture. Now, what do you feel and know?

If you need help facilitating any steps or still feel stuck, reach out. A little guidance will take you far. Alternatively, try a Tarot/Oracle Reading from Ki Lifestyle and a Shamanic Akashic Record reading. Shamanic and Reiki sessions are also available for assemblage shifting or other issues. These are helpful tools to gain insight, find what keeps you stuck, and help you create strategies to achieve your goals.

Judgement, Grief and Cycles

Mon, 31 Mar 2025 22:14:18 GMT

April - Moving through these chaotic times with Reiki Healing

The best way to move through the mire of change and chaotic endings and beginnings is by keeping our hearts open, grounding with our 10th chakra, and keeping our feet firmly connected to Mother Earth. Reiki Healing is the best organic way to help the heart heal. An example that illustrates this is the life cycle of a butterfly or moth. It begins as the caterpillar enters the cocoon phase, and after proper gestation and changing inside, it emerges in beauty. The young chrysalis transforms into its matured, elder version.

1) Know how your body informs you of imbalances in your inner medicine wheel.

The body speaks to us in ways that signal how our emotions impact us. These signals are often in the form of stress, anxiety, body aches, and pain that we store or keep. We even hold emotion, distress and trauma in our cells and DNA information. These blueprints of emotions from past experiences, even from other realities and lifetimes, often define us. Along with all the other feelings that keep us in the past cycles, grief and judgment are two significant emotions that need to be acknowledged at this time. They often have potent triggers that provoke challenging behaviors, but they, too should be acknowledged as gifts from the universe. We must recognize the shadow pieces to be released. If we avoid them, they will continue to drag us into unhealthy cycles that do not serve us.

Get to know the four elements: Earth, Water, Fire, and Air. They are key to helping us align and ground through changes. Also, our connection to the heart plays an important role. It has wisdom, and a knowing that transcends our body talk. It actually has neurons like those in the brain, providing higher-self guidance. See the HeartMath Institute for some mind-blowing information regarding the intelligence of our heart minds.

Gut instinct, you say? Our gut microbiome also contains information about remembering and understanding who we are and what we need. More studies are coming out on this all the time. Caring for our bodies and supporting our gut microbiome is another reason to eat and live sustainably and to be stewards of the lands that we live upon.

2) Ground and connect to the earth with daily rituals

Sitting on the earth and connecting with the trees, like hugging a tree, is an easy way to get grounded. Mainly, when working with grief, putting our belly on the earth and allowing the mother to take in the energy of this grief provides relief. Drumming is fantastic for keeping us firmly planted, helping the heart to heal and move out lower energies. The drum's high vibrations transform the energetics of grief, anger, guilt, and shame - the lower vibrations. Imagine the 10th chakra, a foot below our feet, to enter into the 2d and 1d realm profound in Gaia. Her energy is 40 mgz, which heals mental, emotional, physical and spiritual aspects, and allows the body to connect uniquely to our inner wisdom.

Question: How do we actualize these two steps?

Answer: We listen to receive insights from our higher self. Follow the crumbs and take action. When we show up for ourselves, we will show up for everyone.

Top Five Ways to FEEL Your Guidance and Get Closer to a Loving World

Last month was about our emotions; now, we focus on keeping the heart and mind open during the chaos of endings and beginnings. Here are five strategies to get moving!

Be conscious of your words and gain clarity. The universe hears us clearly and manifests on command. Can we get quiet enough to listen to it? Can we open up to all possibilities without judgment? Ask, and we shall receive; innately, we will know when to act. There is no need for unnecessary movement or wasting energy trying to control and create an outcome that may not be for the highest good. Follow the crumbs; move with the energy like the water. Don’t resist
Ego vs. knowing. Reacting to the outside world is our best resource to understand and untangle from the past. We are potent dreamers and doers; we can move with power and intelligence. The new reality is here, and clarity is with us. There is no need to respond to information and emotions that taunt or haunt. The old structures are dissolving and reorganizing themselves to fit into the dreaming of the new world. If we have been doing our inner work, these will be much easier to manage, and we will walk on the light side.
Reflect and journal the triggers you are aware of. Take the time to process and access each moment of emotions and feelings. What is that trigger? How does life, or what does life, reflect right now that needs to be completed? We must take this critical time for ourselves.
Release and let go. Make sure this feels as complete as possible. Portals are open this week, so be sure seeds are planted and ready to emerge in the new energy. If anything is left, the universe will force these pieces to be done and gone. If we continue to hold onto them, we will fall back into past unwanted programs. Take this opportunity to have closure and move forward with the new energy!
Second, sixth and seventh chakra activation and flow. Pineal activation and downloads can be felt and heard better now. We all need to meditate, be aware, and relax with this new energy, just like we ease into a hot bath of nurturing, beautiful, cleansing water. We need time to acclimate to this intensity and have self-care. Slow down and listen to messages to know what is ours to do. Be clear and decisive in decisions after the first week in April. Take action and co-create for the betterment of all.

If you need help facilitating any steps or still feel stuck, reach out. A little guidance will take you far. Alternatively, try a Tarot/Oracle Reading from Ki Lifestyle and a Shamanic Akashic Record reading. Shamanic and Reiki sessions are also available for assemblage shifting or other issues. These are helpful tools to gain insight, find what keeps you stuck, and help you create strategies to achieve your goals.

Safe Passage to the Heart

March - Healing Emotions to Connect to Higher Consciousness

Let’s dive into the nitty gritty of this auspicious time and how the planets affect us personally. We are connected with every part of this planet and far beyond the cosmos, within and without. On so many levels, vibrations and movement of the planetary positions, gravitational alignment and proximity to Earth impact our energy bodies. This can influence our emotions, moods and actions. Every day it matters how we show up, the thoughts we think, the actions we take, and the words we say. Communication and truths come in many forms to provoke our thoughts, emotions, words and actions. What matters most is our awareness and preparedness to do our part. No matter how small our actions, they will affect the whole.

Know that your authentic self, your soul, is here now in this experience to be part of immense change. Being part of the rise of human consciousness and self-empowerment means being responsible for what you put into the world. Actions of love empower us to regain our sovereignty and freedoms and give compassionately to others to keep the energy of higher consciousness rising.

Healing and transforming Emotions - This human experience through feeling is brought on by emotions. If focused on the negative, lower vibration feelings, trauma, pain and hopelessness, the collective will remain under the canopy of these thoughts and emotions, the fourth dimension, and be destined to recycle it repeatedly. Ancestral trauma, and our own in this life experience, if not healed, adds to the vast layers that are passed onto the next generation. Cellular memory and the akash hold this energy. Do we have the courage to continue to go after the healing that needs to happen for our ascension to the higher dimensions and realities? We are so close to achieving this experience of freedom and joy. We simply need to say “no” to anything not aligned with our souls, dreams, and creations, and say “yes” to love and beauty that brings abundance to all.
Getting in touch with nature and the earth —We have everything right here! We have always had this magic and capability; the illusion is that the outside world has taken that away, and we are powerless. No! If we all do our part to heal our emotions and hearts, and break through to the fifth-dimensional world of Love, Beauty, and Creation, we will be with the higher realities humans had thousands of years ago, ready to be reclaimed. This is already my experience, and now I see so much more.

Question: How do we actualize these two steps?

Answer: We receive from our higher self. Follow the crumbs and take action. When you show up for yourself, you will show up for everyone.

Top Five Ways to FEEL Your Guidance and Get Closer to a loving world

Last month was about our feelings; now we focus on the emotions that create the feeling. Here are five strategies to get moving! (I will put links to connect to the information)

Do not react, reflect. An emotional trigger is the first clue to pause for immediate reflection. A pause allows us to explore a different option or change a decision to take a different action that aligns more with the intention or feeling.
Get Grounded! Get your feet and/or body on the earth. Sometimes, we can’t get on the earth due to winter conditions like snow-covered land. An alternative is to use a grounding mat. I have one, and it is the best thing I do each morning, along with my ritual, to prepare for the day.
Meditate for Body and Mind. Take time to slow down and go within. For more challenging times, use flower essences to help process emotions . I use Dr. Terry Willard's and recommend them for clients in my practice. Alternatively, source some Bach Flower essences from your local health food store. Are you experiencing chaos in all aspects of yourself? Check out our Reiki Group, 5D Healings, or personal sessions to transform backlogged emotional trauma issues.
Earth Medicine Practices . Rituals and ceremonies can help you learn more about the elements, planets, Earth's rhythms and cycles, and the cosmos. We are connected to all that has a vibration. We are nature, and when we ground into her rhythms, we can better ride out these more significant events that impact us. Being called to serve in any practice that helps other humans benefits everyone by teaching them more about our rhythms and how we can tap into this universal energy for healing and awareness.
Sixth Chakra or Third Eye. Connecting with these during this opening and changing time of awareness is vital. Strong intuition allows us the fortitude to create more freedom in our lives and keep on track with what our soul came to do in this lifetime. The subtle voice of our inner knowing is our compass, and when we choose to disregard the information or block out what we fear, the universe, spirit, god, and creator will intervene for us so we can awaken. There are many ways to awaken this; the primary gland is our pineal. Clear, detox and cleanse our bodies to get the correct and loud signals we need to move through these stages of ascension. AI can be a great tool, but this is not the time to get lazy! AI can assist us if used in the light. But the question bears, if used in the dark, would you be intuitively aware enough to recognize it? Now is the time to practice and see if we can utilize our pure intelligence. That is even more advanced than AI

If you need help facilitating these steps or still feel stuck, reach out. A little guidance will take you far. Alternatively, try a Tarot/Oracle Reading from Ki Lifestyle and a Shamanic Akashic Record reading. Shamanic and Reiki sessions are also available for assemblage shifting or other issues. These are helpful tools to gain insight, find what keeps you stuck, and help you create strategies to achieve your goals.

Feelings are our Navigational tool of this Golden Age

Fri, 31 Jan 2025 23:57:30 GMT

February - Feelings are our Navigational Tool of this Golden Age

Being awakened to the realm of consciousness, in combination with feeling, manifests our reality. Consciousness is thought that creates form, and feelings give vibrational energy to the form. This is why thoughts become things. What we mentalize will show up in the body's senses. Our thoughts evoke feelings that affect our consciousness to create things and situations. There is no judgement between the negative low vibrational feeling and the high vibrational feeling. The law of the principle in the quantum field does not decide what is “good” or “bad” for us; we do. The more awake we become, the more we see this play out in our everyday interactions with consciousness and our ‘feeling’ energy.

What arises from within manifests through our nature and naturalness, which we observe and perceive on the outside. This is why we must focus on our energy and feelings from the inner medicine wheel. We are a constant and continuous flow of energy. The clues are given but often are ignored, even the good ones. Maintaining high energy requires a constant check-in of a response or trigger to this energy within the body. It becomes much easier to catch and flow with it when we understand what that feels like rather than resisting or blocking. We get to experience more of the great magical stuff we hunger for.

Sometimes, even our beliefs, habits, and other vibrations overthrow our actions, and we freeze and stay in a loop of repetitive cycles that feel like an eternity of doom. Taking control of this within ourselves offers a resolve, a sense of freedom, and love for oneself. It allows us to free-flow by creating beauty and love.

Question: What is mine to do?

The answer we receive is simply to “do it”!

Top Five Ways to FEEL Your Guidance and Get Closer to Feeling and Acceptance

We are human, and with that comes feelings. Do we even have the vocabulary to know what we are sensing, pinpoint it, or source the original one hidden or masked by other feelings?

Awake and aware - A sudden change in our experience could launch a hidden emotion or feeling. A great way to source it out is by sharing stories with your bestie who supports you, a therapist or an energy practitioner who does energy coaching. A daily journal to sum up and recapitulate your day. Note anything different or new from the experience and describe the feeling.
Sorting - jot down your top three feelings that have been difficult to resolve. Don’t focus on your story; focus on the feeling from the emotion you experienced. Note the interaction between the mind and the body sensations.
Observation: Do you realize how often the same feeling occurs? Write and document your awareness and put it in your daily journal or mental awareness. What happens in your body when you allow yourself to feel? These are key factors in the approach you need to take to work with the feeling: moving the body, therapy, massage, and energy medicine. Have you found something to calm or let go of a feeling that makes you ill versus having gratitude for one that brings joy, love and freedom?
Ritual or Ceremony - This is a fantastic way to be more honest about our feelings or emotions and a wonderful way to create a sacred container for you to go within, especially with your meditation practice. It is like taking a magnifying glass and getting closer to solving the piece that is uncomfortable or hidden deeper than we typically look just before we go about our day.
Body awareness - Subtle body communication occurs when your senses pick up on a sound, vibration, sight or touch. We can’t pick up on these signals if our body is unhealthy, toxic, or slammed with negative thought forms from ourselves or others. Clarity on our feelings can only occur when we are willing to let go, flow and allow. This takes tenacity and practice, but it is so worth it. If you are a beginner, keep going after the top 4, and you will soon be able to relate to the feelings and emotions affecting your inner medicine wheel.

Earth Medicine Sharing Corner: January 2025 TIPS & BEST PRACTICES

Tips to Step Forward

Earth Medicine Sharing Corner: Tips & Best Practices

Practitioners:

For Reiki/Shamanic Practitioners - Be aware of the chakra you are recycling through, and do some grounding work with the 10th chakra. Most important for January 2025! If you don’t know, find out from Carell or an Earth Medicine Practitioner.

New to all of this:

Check-in with yourself to see how much you analyze with your mind and how much you allow yourself to FEEL! Defaulting to your mind to analyze feelings is a clear clue that perhaps your heart is not as open as you think. Cacao rituals and ceremonies can help with the process of opening up your heart.

Many Blessings!

The Time to Step Forward is Now!

Tue, 31 Dec 2024 22:52:59 GMT

January is the Time to Step Forward into Your Soul Purpose!

How do we hear the guidance of our heart and soul? How do we go with the flow and experience the path of least resistance? We must trust our feelings, eliminate fear, and open our hearts. As we do this, our vibration rises and we become more confident with the higher-knowing of our true feeling self and our soul passion. Honest self-evaluation is the first step, trusting our feelings is the second and the rest flows easily.

A good start begins with finding like-minded people. Engage in community gatherings or find a mentor, guide, friend, teacher, or therapist that provides opportunities to experience mirror reflections. New perspectives allow for growth and expansion, and help uncover more of our true authentic self to engage in our soul’s purpose.

Focus on sharpening your intuition and trusting your ‘feelings’. Many times, it just requires following your instincts - that’s your ‘gut feeling’. Use tools like tarot, pendulum, drum journeys, etc. to gain clarity and discern clear messaging from higher self - the golden keys to unlocking our soul’s purpose. To bring manifestations into reality requires mastering an amazing heart connection; one without programming and ego involved. Distill clear feelings into what is certain, without attachment. You must take action to obtain your dreams and gain experience, to know what the FEEL is like for you.

Our experience of the world lies within our perceptions of what we see, feel, hear, and vibrate with. What we do in life should be joyful and feed our souls. Lack of joy and happiness is a clear indication that our vibration is low, blocked, or could be operating in delusion. The important key is that we must be able to FEEL what a happy life is! The number one factor that prevents true feelings is fear, and operating from triggered, programmed reactions. It doesn't matter where we are in our game of life, we just need to move forward. Ki Lifestyle has many options to help you get started, or to pick up where you left off. Use these tips to make that first step.

Top Five Ways to FEEL your guidance

Heart Awareness - the “feel” is what and how the heart knows: Our hearts have neurons, but not like the thinking place in our brains; it is a feeling place. If we bypass the heart to allow the mind to figure it all out, most times our “GPS” will take us in the opposite direction from where we need to divinely be. Use any or all of the tips below to help open the doorway to feeling and navigating your true soul course.

Body awareness. If you continue to bypass the heart space and go straight to the head, then you are operating from mind logic and overanalyzing. Learn how to follow the clues from your body to feel how to move in a truly aligned direction. Reiki classes are great for beginners to learn how to open the heart space and connect to the pathway of love.
Drumming. Group drumming or personal drum sessions is a method to help the body feel and open up. The vibration of the drum can help clear blocks and allow us to feel our hearts and the energy around us. The drum represents the heartbeat of Gaia, Grandmother Earth, which our souls desire to be aligned with.
Cacao. This plant medicine can be facilitated in a group setting, in a ceremonial way, or on your own. A daily cacao ritual/ceremony can provide subtle access to help us feel and open our hearts to heal. As we connect more to our heart, we radiate more love to ourselves and others. Cacao provides a beautiful, gentle and gradual opening. We recommend Heart of the Earth Cacao and use it for our community and personal ceremonies. Learn more at Four Earth .
Know your unique character. Be aware of how you do what you do, and what situations trigger you. Learn why you feel fear first. Notice the emotions you feel first, and how your body responds to them. Try energy healing work, like astrology or akashic records reading, past-life work to find your energy entanglement, doing shamanic shadow work, or finding a therapy that aligns with your beliefs and values. There are many ways to get in tune with your soul’s blueprint to understand the human feelings that produce your experiences.
Recycling and developing chakras . Understanding your perception of reality is a very powerful way to get to know your feelings and automatic responses in your world. Your chakras govern your perceptions of reality through the energy systems in your body, mind and soul. Working with your chakras, with a trained practitioner, can help you reclaim your power through feeling the state of your energy bodies. You can determine and remove energy blocks to gain a clearer connection with your intuition and higher-self knowing. Well functioning chakras can help you feel subtle vibrational energies that help to change your perceptions of reality and overall wellness.

If you need help facilitating any of these steps, or still feel stuck, reach out. A little guidance will take you far. Alternatively, try a Tarot/Oracle Reading from Ki Lifestyle along with a Shamanic Akashic Record reading. Shamanic and Reiki sessions are also available for assemblage shifting or other issues. These are helpful tools to gain insight, find what is keeping you stuck, and help you create strategies to achieve your goals.

Revive and Thrive - Peace on Earth

Sat, 30 Nov 2024 22:03:19 GMT

December is Renew, Review and Revive! - Shadow Triggers Be Gone!

The message now is to give yourself a break and take some hermit time. Use the four “R’s ” to guide you. R elax into the deeper side of self and see what arises. R esolve, R evive, and R enew your inner medicine wheel of Physical, Emotional, Spiritual, Mental, and Lifeforce energies - as within. Have the courage to look within and discover how they affect life on the outside - so without. There is no timeline, so move gracefully and with ease toward what feeds you. Send gratitude and prayers for intentions answered. R eclaim your power and step into the light.

1. Make a stronger, grounded connection with your soul path by giving some attention to your 10th Chakra. This chakra is one foot below your feet. This is connected to your ancestors and blood lineages. This energy governs how we care for the Earth and what prevents us from moving forward in some instances.

2. Choose to be guided by your higher knowing

3. Use the month of December to review your divine plan and pivot where needed.

Top Five Ways to Start Your Review

Here are some basic ideas to help you open up to your soul path. Remember you are the creator, we have the power to change what no longer serves us - no more sitting on the fence! Prayers and intentions don’t manifest without action of some kind.

Once the shadow is revealed - Acknowledge and Accept - The moment there is acceptance, we can move on to the next part of repurposing the intent. Allow creative ideas and inspiration to come through, to see beyond the fog.
With awareness, acknowledge the steps needed to begin to attract more of what feeds your soul. Simplified celebrations of Ah-ha’s shared with others of like mind in your community.
Find one thing that expresses self-love - get creative here. What brings you true joy and what does that feel like? Look for the feeling that carries you into each moment and each day, not temporary gratification. Those feelings never last and merely mask the wounds or hurts inside.
Review your inner medicine wheel (inner aspects of self) every day. Ask these questions: How is my physical being? How am I doing emotionally? How am I doing mentally? How is my spirit doing? How are my vitality and energy doing?
Prepare to take one actionable item. There is no need to overwhelm yourself. Ask for help if you are having trouble seeing through the illusion or fog. There is no room for sitting on the fence. Our higher selves will encourage us with nudges that require action. Your wish of the past that traveled to the stars is here!

If you need help facilitating any of these steps, or still feel stuck, reach out. A little guidance will take you far. Alternatively, you may like to try a Tarot/Oracle Reading from Ki Lifestyle along with a Shamanic Akashic Record reading. Shamanic and Reiki sessions are also available for assemblage shifting or other issues. These are helpful tools to gain insight, peer into what is keeping you stuck, and help you create strategies to achieve your goals.

Transforming through Magic!

Fri, 01 Nov 2024 18:11:52 GMT

November is filled with magical moments for everyone!

Magic is there, we just need to focus and allow it. Move away from the distraction of TV, computers, and the chaos and disharmony of other people’s energy. We can often get pulled into the vacuum of negativity. We are responsible for the outer environment that is created around us. Focus now on new choices from our inner knowing. Be empathic to those who slip deeper into the negative contrast we may have just escaped from. That escape is the best reason to continue caring for our energy field. The more we focus on the negative, the more we will attract and receive it. Be careful to know the signs of toxic behavior or environments; sometimes they may be right in front of us, yet we don’t recognize them immediately. These practices are the most important to remember to remain in a balanced and positive state :

1. Stay grounded, focus, and remove the clutter in both physical spaces and minds.

2. Choose a direction and move to it with purpose. Adjust the course as needed.

3. Practice the top five ways to move into your magic, to embrace your transformation

Top Five Ways to move into your magic

These are the cornerstones for rising like the phoenix. The illusion is that it looks impossible, too much, too big, or there’s no time. These days we can manifest immediately! It only takes a moment to change the direction of our thought, choice, or focus, with our free will. Plan how you will use yours.

Stop the story - Acknowledge the story that is perpetually taking you over. Journal or share with a friend - hear their reflection and take it in. The power of magic is when we reclaim the story as a POWER STORY. Let go of complaining or victimization by looking for the gift, lesson, or teaching inside of it. Don’t focus on what may have been lost, the shame, fear, blame, etc.
Accept - The moment there is acceptance, we can move on to the next part of repurposing the intent. We may not like it and it may feel unfair, however, be mindful and honest with oneself. When we ask the Universe for help, we have to also understand our part in it and be prepared to act and change, to alter the next piece, so we don’t call back the illness, misfortune, unrest, or loss, even when that next intention is to cross over and leave this life.
Repurpose the intent - Move towards creating positive light energy. If the intent has not produced results, flip the narrative and grab onto a new perspective. Results will change once the energy has changed. New positive choices and different people will ultimately change the karma into dharma. We expect this from the Universe as it comes from all physical and natural laws.
Reclaim power - Where did we give our power away; to a partner, a friend, a mentor, an authority figure? Recognize where that power went, and that it is never too late to reclaim it. Fill up your third chakra with light energy, know that you can amplify this center to help create more energy, accomplish goals, heal aspects of self, and manifest abundance.
Celebrate accomplishments - Overcoming anything that has kept us in a place of lack, confinement, addiction, overwhelm, and pain, deserves a celebration. These do not have to be big in any way. The small ones can also be as memorable or more. Acknowledge and feel what it took to get where we are through grit, commitment, and beauty. When we celebrate, we must also acknowledge that important factor of GRATITUDE! The more gratitude we have, the more the needle moves to a whole new level of feeling love.

Ease and Grace for the Upcoming changes!

Mon, 30 Sep 2024 18:32:46 GMT

October is explosive with a force of change - Allow the Universe to Help

More folks will be waking up to their inner wisdom, feeling, and sensing more. The sun and its brilliance are reflecting more and helping us move into completion of the energy upgrades in our DNA. The planets are aligning, creating the energy that’s needed to help us shift. In the last three months of 2024, and into the new year of 2025, it is especially important to incorporate a couple of strategies. These are the most important to remember:

1. Stay grounded and focused on what you ultimately want to create in your reality, every day. Check-in regularly to ensure you are moving in the right direction.

2. Commit to daily rituals, ceremonies, or ways to keep connected to your higher self, spirit, and intentions of your sacred dream. Ask the universe for ease and grace.

Top Five Ways to Wield Your Power with Ease and Grace

Often we omit this one impactful phrase when expressing our intentions and prayers every day, “with ease and grace, please sacred ones”. It can make a difference in how we manifest abundance and beauty in our world, and the way it appears to us.

Ritual - Find an easy way to connect to your higher self and spirit daily. Make it simple, it does not have to be elaborate. Use simple methods like Reiki self-healing, calling in the directions, or simply acknowledging the energies and elements. To do this, face one of the cardinal directions and state your intention for the day. Usually, we begin by facing the East and calling to the Sun energy rising for the day. Add in, “with ease and grace, sacred ones, Buddha, spirit, God”, or anything from your beliefs that works for you to call it in.
Grounding - Think of your energy moving down to your center of gravity - two inches below your belly button. The Tan-Tien is in the middle of our body, and the Hara line runs through it. Our power source is here, a practice utilized in martial arts. Use your breath to move the energy down to your feet. Imagine that your feet are rooted in the earth, like tree roots. Earthing is a great grounding practice. Take off your socks and shoes and go barefoot for 20 minutes or more if possible, if weather permits.
Observation: Be The Watcher - Check inside yourself first and observe your response to interactions with people or spaces. Be still, but only for a moment, to allow messages to come through the ethers. This is a similar experience to meditating or channeling life force with Reiki. Practice this while living in your everyday interactions. When you understand the subtle change between this reality space and the ‘as above’ space, you will be able to discern when you are tapped in and turned on. This may sound impossible at first, but if you persist, you will tune in to the moment in-between this reality and the 4th to 5th dimensional reality. We have the ability to connect to this space now, and it is very empowering because you can feel it, and as a result manifest instantly.
Honoring your ancestors - Call upon your ancestors who love you, and who dance in the light. Ask them to assist you with ‘ease and grace’. Following, look for synchronicities, and clues that they are assisting you. When you see repetitive numbers like 222, 333, etc., and combinations like 1234, on a clock, license plate, in your bank account, or receipts, these are often signs from your guides and ancestors that you are on the right path. Animals and the plant world, also part of our ancestors, will have messages and bring synchronicities into your purview too. Thank them and acknowledge them with love and gratitude.
Acts of kindness and giving back - Give back with time, money, or donations, as a form of energy exchange. What you give out will always return to you tenfold, if it is done with good intentions and no expectations. This provides a pathway of energy for ‘ease and grace’ to form, and eventually, this will happen naturally every day. As little as a smile or hug can start this flow, and be so infectious to so many - ‘as within so without, and as without so within’. One of the Hermetic Principles, universal laws, also denotes ‘as above, so below, so below, as above’.

If you need help facilitating any of these steps or still feel stuck, reach out. A little guidance will take you far. Try a Tarot/Oracle Reading from Ki Lifestyle along with a Shamanic Akashic Record reading. Shamanic and Reiki sessions are available for assemblage shifting or other issues. These are helpful tools to gain insight, peer into what is keeping you stuck, and help create strategies to achieve your goals.

Earth Medicine Sharing Corner: September TIPS & BEST PRACTICES

Sat, 31 Aug 2024 18:41:55 GMT

Here are some simple tips to follow to keep on top of the coming changes!

Earth Medicine Sharing Corner: Tips & Best Practices

Practitioners:

We all need to recharge and refuel at times. Try a fasting ritual to renew and regain strength in your practice. Fasting means to go “without”, so this could be time away from people, phones, food, or computers. Start slow, and expand as you learn more about yourself. If we are doing our inner work, this may reveal something that we may need to give attention or energy to. Timing is important, each person will know their divine timing. Mindset could be a clue to something we may need to work on first, before going deeper. In the coming months, I will be adding tips for using Earth Medicine tools!

New to all of this:

For beginners, this can be overwhelming. Find a place to connect with yourself in nature or meditation. Speak to a practitioner to help with blocks and/or attend a ritual or ceremony with like-minded folks. The important point is to take a step towards something.

Many Blessings!

Are you on or off the Fence?

Sat, 31 Aug 2024 18:33:12 GMT

Is the fence comfortable? - The important part is to move!

Diligently staying the course will reveal a new reality that’s happening. Use your tools and intuition to sense the direction and keep on course. Activate your keen sense of awareness to be in the moment and pay attention to the present energy. Continue to answer the call, making decisions that move you off that fence. With each movement, cautious or not, more will be revealed. Recognize missteps quickly, retreat a little, regroup, and get back your focus to your desired reality and dreams. Any choices moving forward will affect the reality you are creating, or desiring to be a part of. We can still course correct at any time.

Peace should begin to settle in and our creativity will inform the reality that will be part of our new lives. This can occur through engaging in art projects, music, or physical movement that connects us to our authentic expression. Health and self-care is most important now to enable us to hear the call of our deep, intuitive knowing.

The bumps along the way may at times feel hopeless, unforgiving, and scary. We may second guess whether we’ve made the right choices. We may ask ourselves if the outcome we hoped for looks like our present day reality or did we get way off track. It’s often when reflecting, that we see among the bumpy travels, that there have been great achievements and joy. We must trust and have faith that our path is guided. Trying to remain neutral will not help us avoid the inevitable bumps or the energy required to let go of what needs to go so we can heal. The fence often feels like a safe place, somewhere to take a breather. Perfectionist tendencies can play a role here, but perfectionism is just disguised as a way to control the situation. Perfect doesn’t exist though, we only awaken through lessons and experiences, uncomfortable or not, by moving through life.

Take a good look around while you’re on that fence. Choose a course of action that creates movement, with confidence. You don’t always have to take big steps. A few well-intended small steps each day, or even every other day, will keep the wonder and excitement alive while moving forward on the chosen path. These intentional micro-movements are warming to the soul. As we allow our hearts to align with our true course, we can’t help but elicit feelings of comfort. Much like stepping into a warm and welcoming bath.

The key to getting off the fence is deciding how to proceed. In the upcoming days of September, you should have your mojo back. You will be open to discovering new points of view or developing new opinions. Wherever you can explore new possibilities and take care of your inner garden. Nurture your soul’s desires to expand and allow nature to inform you of new ways of being. Observe and take in the essence of your surroundings as this provides new insights. These practices will help restore faith in your ability to create the reality you’ve been wishing for.

Top Five Ways to Get Off the Fence

The decision to just make time and space to get off the fence is the biggest challenge. The importance of one step at a time is crucial to get results. That may mean just committing to one small change over some time and going on from there. Regardless, be committed, but be kind and patient with yourself. Each fence is different!

Self Care . Take care of your physical container by integrating activities that help regain vitality and to which you can experience life at your very best. Choose one to start with and focus on that. Also, mind the needs of the other aspects of self. Here are my top three for physical self-care:

Nutritional Health : A mindful diet to decrease inflammation and toxins.
Physical Health : Move your body through exercise, like walking, or engage in physical activities that you enjoy. Care for your body with massage, acupuncture, Reiki, or modalities that bring stress down and relief up.
Mental and Emotional Health : See a professional for emotional and mental health issues. Learn something new to keep your brain nimble like taking a class or a hobby that requires working with your hands. Select classes that are in-person, and social opportunities are good for mental health. Social opportunities like community ceremonies, events, and Reiki are great ways to create new relationships and interact with friends.

Flower Essence . Clear out what no longer benefits you, with the power of nature. Engage only with people and places that elevate your vibration. Enlist practices that remove stress and chaos from your life, like interacting with nature.
Present Moment . Be In the now, not in the past or the future. Center yourself to the present moment where the magic lies.
Meditation . Give space and allow creativity to come to you naturally. Being a “receiver” of the natural world through quieting the mind will calm and enlighten with simple but profound solutions and information. Practice patience, be open to new ways of moving into the reality you desire.
Energy Mindfulness . Empathic individuals often pick up other people's energy and thoughts. Ensure the energy and thoughts you are dealing with are your own. Remove yourself from a room or space that feels negative and clear your field with smudge or Reiki. Keep your thoughts focused on your dreams and creative ideas. A mind that is forever thinking is a waste of energy.

Earth Medicine Sharing Corner: August TIPS & BEST PRACTICES

Tue, 30 Jul 2024 22:36:36 GMT

Here are some simple tips to follow to keep on top of the coming changes!

Earth Medicine Sharing Corner: TIPS & BEST PRACTICES

Practitioners:

Evaluate your vibration, what needs a tune-up? Seek to enjoy nature or attend a meaningful ceremony or ritual. Have your Chakra seals set and find out which one you are recycling through right now.

New to all of this:

The number one thing to do is gain a different perspective. Evaluate where you are, and narrow the focus to one thing to work on. Also, find out about your last lifetime, previous to this one. This could provide relief and help stop the madness of repetitive cycles.

Many Blessings!

The Power of Essence

Tue, 30 Jul 2024 22:32:48 GMT

Elevate your vibration with Essence

The essences of the human, animal, plant, mineral, and elemental worlds, along with planetary and constellation alignments in our consciousness, will appear to vibrate quickly. Colors may seem more vibrant, and sensitivities to food, smells, touch, other people, solar flares, and geometric storms may be experienced. Depending on current individual vibrational levels, how it is experienced may be perceived as positive or negative. The individual reaction presents a strong clue toward identifying the area of physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual well-being that needs attention. What worked before to address issues must now be recalibrated, eliminated, or reconfigured to accommodate a new vibrational blueprint to meet those needs. For example, a medicinal plant, a medicine, food that was used for healing, or a previous diet, may need to be adjusted to greater or lesser quantities. This could even be to the point where homeopathic remedies or the essence of a medicine may suffice. In some cases, they may not be needed at all. Use discernment when making these adjustments, action them incrementally, but with absolute mindfulness and self-care.

The powerful full Sturgeon moon is coming up on August 19, 2024. This is a time to acknowledge the work completed on the inner medicine wheel and healing journey. Years of commitment, determination, grit, perseverance, strength, and courage have led to this time of evolution, and to experience this new vibration. We have arrived at our greatest hour. This is a time to celebrate, and a reminder to never give up - it is so worth the journey!

Our healing team will be celebrating under the stars in a ceremony honoring the ancestors, the elements, and Gaia, with gratitude.

Top Five Ways to meet the new vibration:

Journal or meditate - check in with your inner medicine wheel and document what has changed or not changed. Focus on the most obvious and important.

What are your sensitivities now?
What has healed?
What has not healed or has worsened?

Ask Great Spirit, God, or your guides to help you discern your focus on correcting the vibration. This can lead to clues and ways to continue your true alignment of increased ascension and vibration. This does require you to be very aware and to take action with them when presented.
Use elements from nature and discern their essence, use this for enjoyment and to help shift blocked or stuck energy. Example: You may have a food sensitivity. The best way to align with it is to do a ceremony or ritual with the essence of that food. You do not always need to consume or ingest a substance to work with it, just its energy is needed. That may be the catalyst for change that is needed. As we evolve, we can align with the energy of most things that fit into our energy template. Essence is copied through the energy of the Sun, or by using Reiki.
Evaluate what cycles, patterns, habits, and relationships need to be finished and completed. This includes decluttering your work and living areas.
Review your last lifetime to reveal ingrained feelings of incompleteness, and compulsive patterns. This could be most important.

If you have no idea how to facilitate any of these steps and still feel stuck, reach out, a little guidance can go a long way. Try a Tarot/Oracle Reading from Ki Lifestyle along with a Shamanic Akashic record reading. Shamanic and Reiki sessions are available for assemblage shifting or other issues. This is a helpful tool to gain insight, peer into what is keeping you stuck, and help create a strategy to move closer to your goals.

Hold and Keep Expanding!

Sat, 29 Jun 2024 21:27:34 GMT

Can you hold your healing and expand your energy field?

The feeling of disruption comes from a tendency to retract energy. We pull our energy towards ourselves, rather than expanding it. When we have an energy session, meditate, or participate in a ceremony or ritual, our energy expands up to six feet around us. It will reach out for miles for those who can hold the expansion. The expansion often feels amazing, freeing, calming, and even euphoric, like we can conquer the world. We may feel like now we understand and have broken through our limiting beliefs and patterns. However, it only takes one incident to set off the chain reaction to a backslide. That’s when we find ourselves pulling our energy back to where it originally started. Pain, anxiety, depression, and hopelessness often return and we may slip back into old habits, beliefs and patterns.

Retraction happens when a new trauma is experienced or when improper integration from an impactful healing or ceremony has not been allowed. Lack of Integration is the number one cause of sliding backwards on a healing journey. We are responsible for healing our bodies, minds and spirits. No one person fixes anything for us. It is our sole responsibility to hold healing energetically and to have a plan in place for how we will move forward. Facilitators in a healing environment are holding space for those ready to grab onto their power to move blocked energy and create change in their lives. Here are the top five ways to integrate and hold energy healing to prevent healing backslide.

Top Five Ways to Integrate and Hold Healing Energy:

Go back to your healing intention and ask yourself:

Am I walking out with the intention and following my plan?
Have I consciously made changes?
Upon review, if you realize that old habits and patterns are still happening, implement changes now. Any commitments and practices that have not been put in motion will continue to sabotage healing progress.

Use breathwork to affect the heart chakra. This connection through breath opens us up to hear our heart-mind better and allows our aura to expand. The heart connection facilitates communication with our body’s knowing.
Improve your perception of reality; this can be distorted by trauma, shock sickness, illness, and disease. How we perceive our reality can perpetuate repetitive patterns, and habits and put us back exactly where we started. Find a practitioner who can help you shift your assemblage.
Look at your previous lifetimes to reveal deeply rooted shadows that keep you from your current reality (life goals). This could be most important.

If you have no idea how to facilitate any of these steps and still feel stuck, reach out. A little guidance can go a long way. Try a Tarot/Oracle Reading from Ki Lifestyle along with a Shamanic Akashic record reading. Shamanic and Reiki sessions are available for assemblage shifting or other issues. This is a helpful tool to gain insight, peer into what is keeping you stuck, and help create a strategy to move you closer to your goals.

Here are some simple tips to follow to keep on top of the coming changes!

Earth Medicine Sharing Corner: TIPS & BEST PRACTICES

Practitioners:

Our healing team breaks for the summer to take personal time for self-care. This time of year provides the opportunity to fill up on outdoor fun and sunshine. Taking in the sun and earth as medicine will keep you charged to move forward. Amid all the seemingly pressing matters, always make time for self-care. If this is lacking in your life, talk with a close friend or mentor who is aligned with your values and supports your growth. Take a look at your nutrition and listen to the wisdom of your body.

New to all of this:

If you are reading this, that's amazing! Take it as a sign that you are following your intuition and there are messages here intended for you. Many folks don’t listen to their inner voice of intuition. The ego mind often takes over many decisions, or we fall into automatic subconscious programs of reaction. Try this test over the summer : When you get that intuitive whisper, regardless if it’s an easy decision or question, follow your first impulse. Often it is the first thought that comes into your mind before you talk yourself into something else. Observe the results, even if you choose not to follow the hit. Keep track of your experiences and then see how often you do or don’t listen to your inner wise one. You may be pleasantly surprised at how many times it serves you to listen and follow.

Many Blessings!

A Glimpse into the Future

Fri, 31 May 2024 22:07:38 GMT

This is the opportunity to really look at our choices and start to mold our future. We will get glimpses as to what this will look like! Ride the wave and hold on to your hat!

What is before us now … an emotion, a feeling, a huge ‘tower moment’ of chaos disturbing the tonal world? Hold steady and keep on track - do not get distracted! Use this month to get to know what has been attracted and is abundantly waiting at our feet.

We may know immediately if a response, decision, or change is required at the moment. Yet sometimes, until we are faced with an impending event or trauma, we really won’t realize what’s coming our way, or understand what’s at our feet. It may surprise us and stop us in our tracks.

If this happens, it may not feel like the universe is helping us. But it is assisting in ways that our humanness can manage, so we can also navigate whatever is thrown at us in our own space and time. We are given free will to choose and find our way to do so. If we can be aware enough to follow synchronicities and clues the universe leaves for us, we can move in flow and without resistance. We can follow through with what works best for us at the time and do so with beauty, ease, and grace.

So, what is stopping any of us from moving in the direction of our best life? Why are we unable to let go of the life raft? Clinging to what we know feels safe is often a response of fear, guilt, shame, or powerlessness. We often stay in patterns of the familiar out of a lack of trust that the universe has something better in store for us. This can beat our spirit down until it does not feel like it will survive or be able to revive itself and keep going. This is how SOUL FATIGUE can happen.

Soul Fatigue can overcome us when we feel like giving up and just taking the easy way out. This is a clue for us to stop, reassess and course correct . Soul Fatigue will set in if we keep letting ourselves hit the wall. It takes a lot of energy to keep beating up on ourselves or going against others whose values do not align with us. We think it’s easier to resist the work to move beyond the chaos, but we are just expending more energy bracing ourselves against disharmony. Whether it is fear, anger, anxiety, rejection, betrayal, etc., we must figure out the root cause of these feelings. Knowing where they stem from can go a long way toward creating new perspectives and new realities. This is the first step towards healing and letting go of old stories or habits that have always been there but went unnoticed. Don’t waste a golden opportunity, that may be disguised as hopelessness, to grow and evolve. We must be willing to trust the universe and believe. If we can find our flow in every challenge, our path will light up and our souls will thrive.

Top Five Ways to Move into Flow

STOP! Do something different to change the mind chatter or loop you are in. Give yourself space. This is very important; you will not hear your inner guidance if you madly keep moving to find a result.
Document or recapitulate the events that have recently passed.
Have a Reiki session or another self-healing practice that you resonate with. Meditate, but only if it provides relief of change. If your brain is still going over the same loop of negativity, then this is not the time to learn meditation.
Let the feeling in and then use breath to let it go, or cut away from the story. Get out in nature and do this as an added feature.
Reach out for help if this is not dissipating. This may be a group healing or one-on-one with a practitioner or therapist. Talk to a good friend or partner.

If you have no idea what this means and are stuck and unable to see the forest for the trees, a little guidance can go a long way. Try a Tarot/Oracle Reading for guidance from someone you know. Ki Lifestyle offers Tarot/Oracle readings along with a Shamanic Akashic record reading. This is a helpful tool to gain insight, peer into what is keeping you stuck, and help create a strategy to get you started.

What is Blocking your Magic?!

Tue, 30 Apr 2024 20:37:08 GMT

It has always been there now step into it, observe and become aware. The next step is eye opening!

Spring has sprung! Now that we are on the other side of the eclipses and Mercury retrograde, it is time to plant the seeds and get ready for new growth. What are you doing for your inner medicine wheel? Ready? On your mark, get set, go!

Emotions are powerful and are connected to our feelings, which is a second chakra experience. How we respond, especially if it is negative, creates an energy of lower vibration that ends up staying in our physical container. This results in our experiencing regret, along with feelings of shame and guilt. The latter are two of the most destructive emotions. Why would we respond without consideration of the consequences? This reaction is driven by our ego to protect our essence and is often masked in fear. It holds us back from asking the obvious questions. We learn these behaviors, actions, and responses from our social and family environments. Added to all of this chaos and drama is the trauma and illness that has been handed down in our family lineages and ancestral connections. The time is now to create new stories and ways of living that allow us to create healthy connections, as well as address emotional hygiene.

It is important to get situated in a good position. Like any athlete or competitor, we must train and learn the techniques that will help us to strengthen our ability to do just a little bit better than our personal best. The awareness around our inner medicine wheel is a great place to start before we acquire all of the courses, equipment, and gear. I know we are impatient and want to just get there already and have immediate success. However, starting with this inner awareness is best, for we can then intuitively begin to research and gather information, and all of the tools for our success.

The inner medicine wheel is our physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects of self. These aspects reflect and give us clues about how we are doing internally. It not only shows us what needs attention, nurturing, and support, but also shows where we need to be honest with ourselves. Our authenticity will shine through as we begin to get more real with where we are at, and where our shadow has held us back from our beauty and brilliance. It is never easy to look at these shadow pieces, and getting started is half the battle. If we pick one part of our inner wheel to start, then the balancing of the other aspects also begins. Now that is magical!

Top Five Ways to Enter into the Magic and Beauty!

Establish your biggest challenge right now from your inner wheel. Are you struggling physically, mentally, emotionally, or spiritually? Meditate, take a break, and stop long enough to connect. Walking in nature is a wonderful way to gain insight. You can also try sitting under a tree and listening to nature for an hour.
If you can’t seem to control those loud and flaring emotions, you can try flower essences, energy healing or seeing a therapist.
With physical issues, you can try exercise, finding a diet that works for you and researching medical ways to improve your condition and alleviate or heal the symptoms.
Understand and know which chakra you are recycling through and find someone to help with energy mapping! It reveals a big story about what keeps stalling you and your energy.
Join a simple ceremony and see how sharing and engaging could be just what you need. A Full Moon, Cacao, Drumming Circle, or Sweat Lodge ceremony can help to lift the fog and show you what direction you need to take.

If you have no clue what any of this means and you are stuck and unable to see the forest for the trees, a little guidance can go a long way. Tarot/Oracle Reading from someone you know. Ki Lifestyle offers this as a strategy to get started, along with a Shamanic Akashic record reading to peer into what is keeping you stuck!

Choose Your Superpower

Thu, 28 Mar 2024 21:03:56 GMT

You have a Gift! Choose to Grab your Superpower!

Most of April is going to be impactful, the eclipse season says it all for me. During this round of eclipses, we will be doing key things to harness this amazing energy. Identifying your key gifts or “Superpower” is work that is so important to keep us on track with our manifesting and experiencing life on a new level. It is also Earth Day on April 21, 2024. Grounding and being mindful while you are in nature will also provide a way to connect to your inner being.

If you’re wondering what your Superpower is or what that even means, there are many Earth Medicine classes available that can help you understand on a deeper level. For now, quite simply, everyone is born with a superpower, and more than likely you have just not tapped into yours completely, or at all. It’s something unique about yourself that no one else can be or replicate. You are unlike any other human on this planet. Even A.I. can’t completely replicate you, nor is it as intuitive as you or any human. We have become docile and a little too sedentary with the gifts that we were born with. The illusion propagates the story that you are not unique. The programming and options that look like they are the only choices tend to keep us boxed into categories of mundane and zombie-like lives. The well-kept secret is that you get to choose your reality. You can create a more fulfilling and beautiful life that authentically expresses your unique signature, that no one else can. All you must do is open your awareness.

Your superpower may show up in little, seemingly insignificant ways. For example, if you can hold a safe space for people and show genuine care, that’s a Superpower. Maybe you are a very social and loving person who easily connects with folks and puts them at ease. Perhaps you’re a great conversationalist and show genuine interest in learning more about people. You may also recognize that you are sensitive to the energy in a room, space, or generally from people, animals, and even plants, embrace that. Reading energy is a great gift if you know how to manage it and respond compassionately to others. Lastly, if you connect to the word LOVE and can feel its high vibration. Even if many also feel its force of attraction, it always uniquely comes from you; a way in which only your vibration can provide the magic. These are all forms of Superpowers that can be expanded into other areas of your life. Energy work or other social interactions can use these talents to bring communities together, that’s one of the most important uses of your superpower.

Top Five Ways to Grab Onto Your Superpower!

List everything you truly love and enjoy doing.
Document times when you stepped into something that felt overwhelming and scary - what was the outcome? (Hint: choose successful ones) How did that feel? Was it gratifying?
Write down words that are highly vibrating and powerful to you. Pick two that resonate and best describe your “Energy”. Write them down and practice, actualize, be, or walk with that energy, for a week or two.
Put your hands on your heart, close your eyes, and notice if you hear a message from your heart or higher self. Intuition is a major player in identifying your superpower!
Evaluate your outcome and begin to step into your superpower. It is authentic to you, so practice being with it, the best you can, each day. Your superpower will allow your energy to expand beyond your physical being, an expression that melds into the entirety of who you are. Your body will remember.
If you are very stuck and can’t see the forest for the trees, a little guidance can go a long way. Tarot/Oracle Reading from someone you know. Ki Lifestyle offers this as a strategy to get started, along with a Shamanic Akashic record reading to peer into what is keeping you stuck!

Spring Into Action

Thu, 29 Feb 2024 19:20:55 GMT

Our Biggest Boost of the Year!

All planets including the sun and moon will be going direct this month, sharing this pivotal time in our evolution. Each planet brings a certain energy for us to work with. The past retrogrades spin the energy of a planet inward and ask us to reflect, reprocess, and re-integrate whatever aspects of life that planet governs. This inward pull of energy can sometimes cause delays, misdirection, and confusion in the areas ruled by that planet. While retrogrades provide an opportunity for us to reflect and realign ourselves, they can also prevent us from moving into the future. With no retrogrades in sight for a few months, with all planets going direct, we have an opportunity to make significant changes in our lives and to grow exponentially. This is a beautiful opportunity to harness that energy and move things along at lightning speed, so hang on tight, it’s moving fast!

Find out what your astrological blueprint has to share about your personal journey for the rest of this year through the harmonics of Astrology with Clarissa Dolphin with Astrology Hub here.

March is definitely the Spring board for illuminating actions that encourage changes. Starting with the New Moon in Pisces on March 10, this new moon provides a pathway for course corrections - dream BIG! The push we need to grow and manifest will be there. The Full Moon on March 25 is accompanied by a lunar eclipse in Libra. This is a warm-up for the total solar eclipse on April 8, providing an opportunity to examine relationships that no longer fit into our journey. Use the March energies to clear away the clutter.

It’s time to take back our power and stake claim to the values and lives we desire to live. Our actions now will set precedents. When we model the values we wish to live by, it encourages others to follow our lead.

On a personal note, quality over quantity is the value that I’m moving forward with. By zooming in to the micro and zooming out to the macro, I have revealed underlying shadows that no longer serve me.

When we zoom in we find the shadows, and when we zoom out, we can see where we have the ability to carve out new opportunities. It takes a bit of courage to do this and face what’s there. Use your intuition to see the real truth of a circumstance, what’s under the surface of the illusion, and what’s holding us back. Zooming out requires that we let go, cut away and transform energy or circumstances that we don’t want coming with us into the new creations we are manifesting. After releasing these shadow parts, we may move freely with the new energy.

Note that ego will try to convince us to keep our baggage and attempt to talk us out of changing. This part is the hardest. Letting go of old programs is essential to becoming our authentic selves and maintaining personal trust and integrity. Underlying traumas, hurts and unhealthy emotional connections are lower vibrations that hinder us from blossoming into who and what we came here to be and do. The energy we must meet up with, to manifest and transform, will reveal itself. I have been witnessing this a lot lately. Remember, everything is energy and holding onto waste or not repurposing it will stall creativity and stagnate the energy field. The chakras will move slower, and entanglements with others will be much harder to let go of within our cells, ancestral lineage, lifetimes, dimensions and all realities. It will affect all parts of us.

As an example, if you tend to take on energy and need a tangible touch, energy sensations may be more physically intense for you. Sense, feel, and know what is good, what brings joy and love into your life. Give self-love and avoid being the dumping ground for lower vibrations or negativity. There are some key (Ki) actions to incorporate into daily routines to help navigate the energy. Pay attention to your inner medicine wheel and take action. If we idly wait for something to happen, the universe will decide for us, and it may not be the optimal decision.

Top Five Ways to jump into action for March

Continue with what is working, if you have already started. Otherwise, this month, take inventory of the top three items of non-action to begin. The key here is to identify what is optimal for your aspects of self and what brings joy.
Find your community - our brains thrive on social interaction. Connect, commit, and engage in any type of social interaction. It could simply be walking with friends, or participating in book clubs, team sports, or music groups.
Explore new opportunities. You may be surprised with whom you will connect with and what new adventures may come your way.
Try the KI-Action Flow. A system that I offer my clients as they work through their personal development. This month may affect our nervous system with over-the-top sensitivities in our energy fields. If you are continually in fight or flight mode, hone in and find out why you are not switching more easily to a parasympathetic stance.

“KI – ACTION” FLOW:

K – Know your stance – grounded and energy neutral.

I – Initiate Conversation – scheduled or in the moment.

A – Actualize Awareness – Boundaries – energy.

C – Check heart space and posture.

T – Tone – Ears - Active listening.

I – Ignite – Ignite your voice and speak.

O – Operate with awareness – heart – listening - boundaries.

N – No Attachment to outcome and let go of triggers.

5. Practice self-care, a recurring and important theme. Look for time to do self-Reiki, have a session with a Reiki practitioner, attend a Reiki group healing or some other form of de-stressor. Reiki is my personal favorite and has served me well over the last 27 crazy and amazing years. Also, using flower essences as you continue to work on unavoidable shadow pieces that come up, can soften energetic effects.

Heart is Home!

Fri, 02 Feb 2024 21:54:30 GMT

Top Five Ways to Open your Heart!

Top Five Ways to Open Your Heart

Connect with like-minded individuals by inviting a friend or new acquaintance for coffee, tea, or cacao. Start a club to engage in conversations of similar interest to co-create and explore new possibilities.
Participate in ceremonies using plant medicine, vibrational sound healing or plant essence. My favorite is “cacao” accompanied by the heartbeat of the drum.
Listen to your heart. Place your hands on your heart either in meditation, ceremony, Reiki self-healing, or before falling asleep. Use your breath and consciously inhale for a count of four, hold your breath for another count of four, and then exhale slowly for four. The number four represents the energy of stability and peace. Notice any sensations in your body or feelings that come up.
Spend time with children and call on your inner child to show up. Children under the age of six are still strongly connected to their dreamers and can often help us recall and connect back to our child-like wonder. Allow your heart to open and notice the reflections you receive.
Journal each day about a feeling that is top-of-mind or persistent. Write about how that feels in your body or heart space. Unexplained feelings are often the shadow part of ourselves that lurk behind a veil of other emotions, such as anger, fear, guilt, and shame. If the sensation is uncomfortable or confusing, and your brain goes into a loop of resolving, then it’s most likely a feeling that is keeping the heart closed to protect you from harm.

If you are struggling with any of these tips, find a well-trained practitioner or therapist to help you get to the root of it. Shamanic practices are perfect for finding the origin and to help remove, cut away from, or let go of what no longer serves you.

More on duality and the shadow work within:

Last month we provided tips to get your energy moving in fun and light-hearted ways. As you know, there are two sides to everything and the other side of fun is work. In this case, our inner work. In life, when we bring opposites closer together, we find balance. When we find a way to be in the sweet center of our lives, we flow in creativity, ease, and more beauty. This balance can only be found by dedicating time to the inner work, including delving into our shadow side. If you are not familiar with this or have experienced a shamanic practice, this concept may be new to you. If you are unfamiliar with what the shadow side is and what that work entails, read on .

Astrologers I have been following all indicate that 2024 is the time to look deeply at our shadow side. The real work is understanding how we act and react when we are in stress, and not the best version of ourselves. The shadow work involves neutralizing our triggers and forgiving ourselves as well as others, for our humanness. This means operating with compassion, not in judgment, no easy task. The focus in the coming years is to create a new reality, one of love, compassion, peace, sisterhood, and brotherhood. We are moving towards unfolding into this new way of existing together, focusing on humanity living in harmony. We can get there faster by meeting our shadow side head-on.

Astrology touches on our shadow personality traits and helps us to gain a better understanding of who we fully are. The positive and negative aspects of our Zodiac sign entice the quest to learn more. The traits assigned to our sun sign never mean this is us and that's that. No, it is just a framework, a guide, so you can get to a place where you desire change and wish to write a new story. The story is authentically yours, not the programs from thousands of years ago that have put us in a state of extreme polarity. We are all parts of right and wrong, good and bad. Eventually, you will see it’s a choice to be in harmony. The traits that the stars assign and the pathway of energy that follows are for you to maneuver. When you know your authentic self, you know your triggers and you choose the actions that create the most desired outcome. This knowing helps make the shadow/light work and the journey exciting!

Shadow work is intended to nurture our soul and help reveal the “authentic self”. By working both sides of our being’s personality, the light and the dark, we can embrace or overcome aspects of self that influence our journey through life. In simple terms but not simply, our perceived good and bad traits influence our decisions and our life’s direction. There are many ways to approach this work. Ki Lifestyle Solutions offers shadow work through many course offerings. There are other approaches and it doesn't have to be a spiritual-based practice. Find a person, practice, class, or experience that focuses on shadow work that feels best suited for you.

I have found, on my journey, that a spirit-based practice worked best for me. I am truly grateful I found Reiki first and then moved into Shamanic practices. The gentle approach of Reiki took the edge off the “kick-in-the-butt practices" I experienced in Shamanism. I was able and willing to look at myself and my ego first with compassion.

We will continue to share ways that help us find our authentic selves, through this blog and newsletters. My method, as mentioned before, is to lay one brick at a time to create a strong foundation, and then continue to move forward mindfully. If you are reading this, most likely something has been awakened in you. A part of your soul that seeks and wants to understand its place and is ready to come forward.

Take this year to dive fully in and learn about yourself. There are many courses, practices and community gatherings that can offer opportunities for reflection in kind and supportive ways. The goal is to be open and willing to see, learn and grow. We are close to making this huge collective shift. Even though it may look like we are still struggling, more and more of us are awakening. It may get crazier before it gets better. Remain hopeful and know that the work each of us does to be in harmony and balance creates a larger and stronger collective consciousness of love and light. Often things must break apart to be rebuilt better. We are turning a corner and this is why our inner work is so important. There is a huge opportunity to be at peace if we just keep finding the peace inside ourselves. As within - so without. Enjoy the month ahead and stay connected.

The train is headed to its destination New Earth, we hope you will be on board!

Namaste!

Earth Medicine Sharing Corner: Feb TIPS & BEST PRACTICES

Fri, 02 Feb 2024 21:45:14 GMT

We have Tips for Energy Light Work Practitioners and anyone New to Energy Work

Practitioners:

Bombarded by intense energy? Go back to self-care. Do your personal healing work with Reiki or other methods that you love. Flower Essences pack a punch and allow the body to let go of old patterns and energies that are blocking the way. They are my go-to when I need extra support. You can also use Bach Flower Essences.

I am new to all of this:

Grounding is important, for anxiety and emotional unease. Use breath, slow inhales and slow exhales to connect to the earth.
Try something new to test your intuition. Your inner thoughts will guide you. Listen and learn to trust yourself to make better decisions. For example, when you get a sense to go left instead of right, just do it. I bet if you don’t listen, you will soon discover why.

Many Blessings!

We have Tips for Energy Light Work Practitioners and anyone New to Energy Work

Practitioners:

Are you an “undiagnosed” empath? An empath is someone who absorbs the world's joys and stresses like an emotional sponge. They have a high sensitivity to outside stimuli, such as sounds, big personalities, and hectic environments. They often feel tuned in to the feelings of others and can be described as sensitive, and emotional.

If you are hiding away and putting your skills and gifts to rest because the energy is just too intense, you may be an empath. This week, I invite you to pay attention to your feelings and senses. Each day journal what you notice to find out if there is a pattern. Document the who, what, when, where, why, and how, it happens to you and if it’s on a physical, mental, and emotional level. Fatigue, anxiety, and overwhelm are some indicators. I expect you will see a pattern after your week of journaling and also that many of those feelings are not yours. Please contact me or someone who can help you gain insight and clarity. We can assist you in coming up with strategies to work with this. Overwhelming, fear, and anxiety can be managed and avoided after you learn what and where the actual source stems from. We need all light workers to be ready in the coming years, let us help you be ready!

I am new to all of this:

Acknowledgment of how and what you are feeling is important and a good place to start to get in touch with your authentic self.
Our previous lifetime(s) carries strong memories over to our current life through our DNA. The cells in our body also can hold memories.

Many Blessings!

Time To Get Back on Course

Sat, 20 Jan 2024 18:19:15 GMT

Top Five Ways to Get Energy Moving for 2024!

We have been doing ceremonies with the full moon and cacao for a full year now. All our intentions have been heard and the universe now wants to deliver! However, that will be an individual project. Have we created space for the new manifestations to appear and come to create this new reality? How will we know we have done enough to make that space? Below are our Top Five Ways to Get Energy Moving and to ensure you are on course:

Training your intuition - Use the Tarot to check in daily to see if you are connecting to your higher knowledge and acknowledging your inner work. Don’t have a Tarot deck? An Oracle deck is just as good. If you have no idea what this is like, I recommend purchasing one for yourself. Some of my favorites are The Light Seers Tarot by Chris-Anne, The Guided Tarot by Ciro Marchetti, and The Quest Tarot by Joseph Ernest Martin. Amazon has many options too or try your local shops and bookstores. Google your area to see who has them.
Astrology - Look up your astrological sign and see what it is in store for you, daily, weekly, and monthly.
Nurture your spirit - Find ways to engage and be part of your community or be like-minded souls. Look for drumming and other earth-based rituals and ceremonies happening in your community.
Get Creative - Fit something creative into your self-care schedule like, crochet, knit, sew, draw, paint, pottery, gardening, dancing, sports, etc. or just be in nature. The sky's the limit, just find something that sparks your creativity. If none of these appeal, explore something new to learn like guitar, cooking, writing, or philosophy classes! Anything that gets the mind to experience joy and helps you bring back the love for yourself. Remember, it must be yummy and align with who you are.
Volunteer - Being of service can bring great joy by giving back. When we engage in volunteering, this act of giving of our time reaps many benefits. The Hermetic Principle of Reciprocity tells us, that what is within is without and that which is without is also within. Find a non-profit or charity that aligns with your values and energy. Being of service in your community can be rewarding on many levels.

Remember you don’t have to do everything on the list but do pick at least one new thing to incorporate into your New Year. Take some quiet time to jot down a 2024 bucket list with your top 12 items, one for every month. This list should have the potential to be achievable within the year. Aim to prioritize your list so you can check off at least one new thing a month. You want to feel accomplished and setting a monthly goal can engage your energy in a fun way. Make it a group activity and share it with your friends or at the next community gathering. Do keep us posted during the year so we can help you celebrate your manifestations!

Here is a simple example to help get you going:

Jan - Vacation in Hawaii

Feb - Meditate at least 15 minutes/day

Mar- Take an online class

Apr - Try a new bold hairstyle

May - Grow a small garden

Jun - Start a book club

July - Be outdoors 20 minutes a day

Aug - Learn how to make preserves

Sep - Plan a spa staycation

Oct - Dress up for Halloween

Nov - Hand-make Christmas gifts

Dec - Bring holiday cheer to a family

Have fun!

We Have Arrived! - 2024 is the Beginning!

Sun, 07 Jan 2024 17:25:51 GMT

Time to move no matter how small the step!

A-A-U-U-M-M - The OM mantra commonly used in meditation practices is also an amazing addition to Reiki and Shamanic Reiki meditation. Using OM in self-practices helps ground our bodies and connect our higher knowing with our physical human knowing. Feel the difference for yourself, in your next meditation practice.

This week and in the coming months, we are presented with an opportunity to become more aware of the aspects of self. By focusing on ourselves, we amplify our ability to bring harmony into our lives, while we embark on this venture of new beginnings. We spoke frequently in the last couple of months of this energy that the new year is bringing to help us prepare for the shift. More importantly to note, this shift will show up differently for each of us. Don’t be surprised, when comparing notes, if your experiences are different. Do recognize that everyone will be feeling major changes in some area of their life. Even though we share this same energy, we each have our own unique magical piece to work with. The question to ask is, “What is mine to do?”

This week, concentrate on connecting with the body and listening to its wisdom. What we are awakening to will be reflected through our chakras, our connection to human consciousness and the cosmos. It may show up through our intuition, higher learning, health, emotional intelligence, personal power, heart connection, creativity, and communication. This is the time to pay attention and hear what our next steps are as humanity moves into one of the most amazing times in history.

Harness some of the new moon energy this week to magnify the ability to hear what we are being called to create or experience…

If we have been listening to our bodies and higher knowing throughout 2023, we should be perfectly positioned to take action toward our goals and visions for the new year. If not, we may be faced with more chaos and uncertainty on the horizon. Does that mean it’s too late to be aware and awaken into this new realm? No! There are still opportunities to connect and harness this time of growth. There is no right or wrong. If it’s our divine timing, or ours to do, we will know it. All you need to do is allow the whispers to be heard and choose to hear them. No one person or thing alone can change our course. But if you are called as part of the collective to make change, your time is now. Our path and our work was all chosen and decided by each of us before we were born. Each soul selected their journeys of how they would heal, grow, and understand, in this lifetime. The only obstacles or delays will be determined by how our ego influences our actions, and how we use our free will to make choices along the way. 2024 will present moments when we will need to decide which branches to grab on to, and what to let go of. This is the pathway so we can create the world that illuminates the love and beauty we are. Innately, we all know that it comes down to the moment we wake and decide to walk The Fool’s Journey once again.

A wise guide once told me that one solid brick at a time is all that is needed to lay a strong foundation and to get started. This first brick is the confidence and surety of what feels okay or safe for you. That one foundational piece will allow creativity and fun to flourish. Be patient and sure as you lay your bricks in 2024.

A big change for the coming year is that Pluto is moving into Aquarius, moving all of these possibilities into the 3D reality of this world. Are we finally bringing the dream into reality? What are we doing to walk our talk and intimately feel and be all that we can be? The new moon for this week of January 11, 2024, is an opportunity to remove clutter, and open up to receive our desires, through manifestation. This is an ongoing process to continue defining what we want in our living and working spaces. Use journaling to uncover true feelings, values and desires. Allow divine guidance to lead you to what you must do to show up and explore the world. Find the authentic self hidden in the shadows. Our divine feminine is ready for the big reveal. She is potent with enthusiasm to greet us with all the new possibilities.

Remember patience, and to do the best with what you have. Monitor thoughts and actions of judgment on self and others. Judgment cripples our self power and attracts more of the same energy. This can be the one thing you work on all year and that will be okay. It will take time to catch those judgments as they are deeply programmed into most of us and often go unnoticed. Be the observer and not the critic. Resist the urge to review your success and score it! Embrace the opportunity to wake each morning to a new day, with a fresh start and a new beginning. We have the knowledge and wisdom to make these changes, we only need to be woken up to our true magnificence! Imagine all that we have been and all that we shall become; harness this power to reclaim what is our birthright, no matter who we are. This can be accomplished in many ways. The question is, are you ready to hear your inner voice, lay another brick of your foundation and take the actions necessary to honor yourself in love, beauty, and wisdom? If so, those actions will become reflections that come back to create this earth’s new reality and enhance your own life experience. I leave this with you to ponder and explore, one day, one moment, one brick at a time - Enjoy!

Namaste

Just Breathe! - Week of Dec 12th

Tue, 12 Dec 2023 19:04:52 GMT

Impactful week with a new moon and the start of a Mercury Retrograde

How on earth did we get to mid-December already? It is not surprising that we are in searching, doing and creating mode. Maybe feeling pressure to wind up the last big Ta’Das of 2023. Whether preparing for Christmas celebrations, Solstice, rituals or ceremonies, there is a sense of having to hurry to get to the next event. This rushing around may leave us feeling caught in a chaotic whirlwind. Instead of landing at our desired destination, we may find that much of the past has caught up to the present and nothing has changed at all. Instead of clinging to the all too familiar “well we have always done it this way”, it is time to upgrade to a new perspective. This may require a deep look for some, to pinpoint the true reason for fearing change, or it may only require a slight tweak. Remember, we are setting the tone for 2024 and the next cycle of our dreaming, so be brave and go big! Dare to look, see, and change.

The end-of-the-year lull from the cosmos offers us an opportunity to find peace within ourselves that will resonate across the planet

This week we may be looking for a refreshing new beginning. It may feel similar to finding the proverbial needle in the haystack. We know it's in there somewhere but just can’t seem to locate it. This searching can feel disruptive and dislodge some of those old insecurities we thought we had long gotten rid of. We may find ourselves back on the roller coaster ride asking those old questions of why is this happening, how did I get here and, where am I going? We can mentally exhaust ourselves trying to figure out how we missed the clues and who pulled the chair out from beneath us?

First and foremost, take a deep breath and then take another. Take several slow deep inhales and exhales. Give yourself a break, this is not the time to pivot and move in a new direction. This is the time to care for the relationship with yourself and with your creations. The pause will bring clarity to what is yours to do, no attachments or judgments. Take a minute to check in and ensure that you have created strong roots during all that dreaming before those eclipses in October and November. Make sure you can clearly see how to bring those dreaming pieces into true form.

The mercury retrograde starting on December 13 helps us to finish off this year with great reflection and brings clarity to adjustments that need to be made. Mid-January then aligns us with the beautiful energy of 2024 that is full of potential, carrying on until the end of May. Expect a swift pull down from the creative dreamer self of abundant manifestations.

I love retrogrades, it gives me a chance to make those necessary changes and edits that may have been overlooked and ultimately add magnificence to my creations.

If there are questions we are facing or doubts we are feeling, we owe it to ourselves to seek the answers within. This is only possible when we pause and take a breather to allow the necessary tweaks and changes to be revealed. Any misgivings and challenges with the outside world can always be found within. These exterior reflections arise to help us understand the contrast between what we think we desire and what we truly desire. Finding that clarity may feel painfully slow. Like the story of the tortoise and the hare, it may feel slow but in the end, the tortoise wins with patience, tenacity, and perseverance. Never look back or too far ahead, just keep a consistent pace. Like the tortoise, be sure-footed and move with awareness, knowing we will win in the end and accomplish what we came here to do.

Namaste!

Intuitively Critical

Mon, 04 Dec 2023 23:59:16 GMT

Did you find your key?

For several weeks, we’ve been sharing insights on the importance of inner work, like connecting with our intuition, being our authentic selves, aligning with our dreams and manifesting our heart’s desires. As 2023 comes to a close and we feel the energy of 2024, it will be important to have captured what is ours to do, or at least have some idea of the beauty and power we each hold. We have a responsibility to free ourselves from the constrictions, beliefs and perceptions we keep boxing ourselves in with. It is time to step up and expand into all that we have been imagining and to activate our highest calling to raise the collective potential of this planet.

If you’ve been feeling the desire to be all you can be, and you’re ready to meet up with your best and authentic self, we can help you. We see you, feel you, and we are here to help you find your personal key to unlock the gates and move forward to claim the golden grail.

The golden grail may feel illusive and beyond reach at the moment. Yet, all that is truly needed in this week is trust. Trust that our personal key may be found in knowing that the unseen is always informing our higher self and that all the inner work, humbling experiences and education have been leading us to more inspiring moments. In so trusting, boundless doors, if not gates, of opportunities will appear and you will have the personal key to open them and jump through. At the very least, a window for us to see our way through the totality of 2024. Either way, we will begin our escape from that dark room we’re in, making it all so worth it.

Do you know how to find your personal key yet? Because, each of us has a unique key and only you can find the one that fits your lock! If you still can’t hear your voice of intuition, what we know and feel that speaks to us about our true self, there may still be work to be done.

I know of so many souls who are continually working on inner aspects of self. Even at times when it would be so easy to throw in the towel, they persevere with tenacity and belief, knowing they ultimately have the choice to create a reality with darkness or light. The golden grail can be there for all of us to experience if we can just remain aware and choose which energy we are nurturing.

This week a few glimpses and confirmations of those next steps are predicted to show. As always, it will require patience to allow divine timing to meet up with our amazing human selves. It is critical now to hold beliefs and inner knowing that the light will prevail. Don’t fall victim to old patterns and stories of the past, getting sucked into the vacuum of the dark shadow of existence. This will feed the negative consciousness energy and amplify more challenging times later.

We are at the tipping point of the evolution of a unifying consciousness vibration of love, peace, beauty and freedom. It is actually here- waiting for us to join in! If we work with this energy, adding our own light to the collective consciousness, it will be so much easier to illuminate everyone. It comes back to choice. Which energy are you contributing to?

There may still be some hungry ghosts of the past, our ancestors, our blood lineages that are impacting us. Shadow energy is recorded in our DNA and our Akashic records. That’s ok though, each time we get stuck we are presented with an opportunity to identify and clear another energy block. Other signs that we may need to delve further into our inner work to uncover our key, is our ability to see abundance and show true gratitude in our lives. Abundance is a matter of perspective. Highlighting lack in our lives instead of finding gratitude is another example of fueling the shadow over the light. But, as we move through these important pieces of shadow work in the next year, we will focus on illuminating the abundance and beauty that’s all around us.

Our ongoing work will be dedicated to shining our light brightly. We will endeavor to accept our shadow - the yin to the yang of the light in each complete human. In which case each of us can begin to feel safe showing up authentically, and that will make a difference in humanity! Remember to have compassion for others and recognize that what shows up for us to witness is usually there because it is also within ourselves - as within so without. These are good opportunities to release our own shadow judgment of what’s good vs bad and light vs dark. We will always attract the lessons we need to heal our shadows. By doing so, we move confidently into the light…how will you use your personal key?

Be kind to family, neighbors and friends this week, everyone is working on these pieces. But, most of all, be kind and loving to yourself. Have a great week - we got this!

Namaste!

Seek and Find our Inner Voice

Mon, 27 Nov 2023 18:32:43 GMT

What are the key pieces for you? - If you have come across this at a different time and space, there is still a reason why you landed on this page. Take in what resonates and leave the rest.

Ripe and ready, this Full Moon in Gemini lends an amazing energy to explore and find our inner voice. We have been moving through key energetics to capture what we need to understand about our unique part in this amazing matrix of life. It sometimes takes a lot of energy to maintain relationships and if our energetics are not in alignment with our dreaming and authentic selves, they can deplete and exhaust us. This week’s planetary alignment urges us to connect and expand enough to hear our inner voice of wisdom. This means something different for each of us, but there will be guidance (if we just listen) to help discern who and what is best suited to support our future intentions.

Seize the week, engage and really connect ensuring heart prevails over mind. We are worth every fiber of the magic that is showing up for us. Find out what key pieces to incorporate.

Last week we were following a request from the energy to take inventory of everything. Did you follow that request? If not, it’s not too late, but I would suggest getting started now, if you didn’t act on that signal from your higher self. Now is the time to explore and connect with those who get us, like-minds. Those who are dreaming the same dream and who we know, and can feel their vibration right there with us. The more we connect and follow our intuition, the more we can be our authentic selves. In our authenticity we are clear, grounded and empowered to bring thought forms from our vortexes into reality.

Potential for manifestation is tangible this week. I can attest that the thoughts and intentions that I have been working with are so close to coming into form. They may not have materialized yet but I can feel the signs that they are on the way! I get an incredible feeling of joy, appreciation and magic that fills me up each day. More magic keeps showing up and because of this, it is much easier to just let things happen instead of trying to ‘make’ them happen. There is usually a different, less desired, outcome when I try to force the energy flow. There is nothing more inspirational or motivating than to allow yourself to be aligned in the flow and to be surrounded by amazing humans that also see you, love you and support you.

Here are the key components for working and being with this energy in the coming days. First, find that feeling of excitement and align with it. It’s the feeling that anything is possible and that the universe is here working for us. Second, express gratitude for what is already here in its physical form. Third, ensure no attachment to the when, what and where. Mustering the feeling is the most important point here; be in the feeling. All the planning in the world will not matter if we try to rush. Patience is required to allow Divine TIMING! Do not give up or lose hope. Do not let others take away your dreams. If you feel like you are starting to lose hope, then it’s a signal that you need to look at upgrading your beliefs and values to a higher vibration. To do this, we must surround ourselves with our happiest thoughts, things and people. Move towards what you do desire. If it feels like a loss and grief grips your heart, then take the time to work through the feelings, to transform what is required to increase your vibration. Let emotion flow in order to let it go, and then reward yourself for having the courage to face it.

Be ready with a strategy that is easy to implement each day. Prepare several options and be ready to use these tools when you need them. That’s why we do the work within our community. We practice and continue to engage in the ceremonies and rituals that constantly remind us each day to be connected to our higher feelings and to know what our body feels like when we connect to it vibrationally. We create habits to automatically shift emotional gears when we hit a low. This way, we will instantaneously spend less and less time in our lower feeling spaces. Creating and living with more joy and meaningful events in our lives keeps high-vibrational opportunities present.

The energy this week has many other amazing aspects to connect with. Number one, ability to clearly hear and engage with our voices. You’ll be urged to speak with integrity and listen with care. Much throat chakra energy will be showing up this week. Number two, heightened sensation and feeling of energy. This should be easier this week with Jupiter and the moon present to help amplify these finite feelings. Number three, an inclination to articulate intentions and be specific about what we want to create. These spoken word vibrations go out into the universe, even when just chatting with a friend, a co-worker or co-creative team. The universe is listening and ready to manifest whatever we are putting out there. We are organizing and right-sizing our creations and dreams to bring them into reality so be clear, consistent and speak with clear meaning. And number four, if things become overwhelming, come back to center, focus, ground and regroup. Nothing can be taken away that is meant for you. The only blocks that get in the way are from the ego mind and stored physical memory. They continue to play out patterns of beliefs that hinder those manifestations that sit in perfect alignment with our authentic selves, and waiting for a clear pathway to come in.

We are never too late or have lost anything. Always look for the gift and the giveaway. Appreciate the next fork in the road, although long and winding at times, it always leads us back on track. It is up to each of us to move through the shadows and into the beauty and the knowing that we all possess, at our own pace. If we are trusting and persistent, we will create and bring our sacred dreams into fruition. Use this week to cement in the beginning pieces of the manifestations that are patiently waiting. Just trust that they are there, and waiting for you to be ready. Enjoy the moon's energy, have fun and see you in the beauty soon. Namaste!

Excitement in the Air

Mon, 20 Nov 2023 20:47:53 GMT

Seize the Moment!

Yes, we are moving fully into winter but this week’s energy begs to differ. I love this sensation of spring-like energy and new creation that is stirring, it is so exciting! It is motivating and inspires my own creativity to come out. But most of all, I love the synchronicity with the upcoming astrological line-up. I was already sensing this fresh energy, even before I checked out the planetary alignment for this week. I always check in with my intuitive senses and higher-self knowing for guidance. It’s good practice to keep my senses sharp and reinforce trust in my intuition. That’s the magic! A key component of how to effectively work with the upcoming energy is to be in alignment. Be aware and prepared rather than being at the cause and effect of it all.

Now’s the time to take inventory of everything. Especially note what you are not using, pursuing, or feeling excited about. For the next two years we are looking at our shadow and have an opportunity to release what no longer serves us. At the same time we are embodying and pulling in creativity and exciting new ways to live on our 5D planet. This may feel like a lot, just be ready and pace yourself. Those dreams that seemed so far away are now ready to be revealed. This will be the time to start taking action towards what seemed so big and unmanageable before. Note ideas and ahas that were pushed to the side before and see what can be put in place right now. Inventions, improvements, wishes and dreams, continue to put them out there through your daily rituals, ceremonies and intentions. The ceremonial containers that we connect to are so pivotal for our manifestations.

Much of how I have danced my own dream came through in manageable chunks because of this. My practice of maintaining a strong foundation through my daily ceremonies helped me know how to move forward with clear and unwavering vision and enabled me to execute at the perfect time. From the outside it may look like my accomplishments were happening too slowly or were not successful enough. But, from the inside, I am so grateful for all that occurred and how. It was much more sustainable, consistent and valuable because I allowed it to come in divine time.

I allow my guidance to ebb and flow with where I am in the moment. I also know I have to be realistic about what I am capable of at the time and what I’m able to do, without putting foundational pieces in jeopardy. My family and my business may be easily affected by my decisions. Actions are more manageable when we take inventory and align with where we are at now. Take calculated risks by knowing when to follow the energy and where you desire to be.

Throwing caution to the wind and hoping all will land or fall on good fortune in just the perfect manner, is a dreamer's mistake. It can set us back leaving us with a deep sense of regret and failure. Instead, we can make intentional, conscious decisions by being intuitively connected and accountable. By constantly connecting and asking our higher knowing questions, we can find out what is okay to be utilized, lost and reformed. Also checking in to see if our inner medicine wheel is in balance, is a responsible action to confirm whether we are being mindful to those we have already made commitments and contracts with.

The energies surrounding us are there for us to maneuver within. These energy realms are our playground and are meant for us to learn, evolve, grow and heal as we continue on this remarkable journey of life. When instinctual moments come, we must be familiar with what that feeling is. We need to know when to lie low and patiently wait, like a stalking feline. She knows that perfect moment of when to pounce to claim her prize. We can all learn by observing the animal kingdom. They live in the present, living in each minute with the same motivational feeling and drive as the previous. Never looking back, always moving forward with all senses in the moment and in the flow with current reality.

This week there is hope and creativity, with capacity for self-love and care for others. Take inventory of all your resources, see what sprouts of possibility are peeking through. Look for what can be put away or recycled, then lay the next solid brick of creation towards your dream. With heartfelt gratitude I will see you somewhere, sometime soon. Namaste!

A Less Desirable Reflection

Mon, 13 Nov 2023 22:11:25 GMT

Didn't See that Coming!

Feeling defeated, looking for revenge or just frustrated by the mirrors of reflection amplifying what not to like about ourselves? Everything was going along pretty good and then - boom! Surprise disagreements, chaos and face-to- face conflicts. It’s prominent everywhere in the world today. Attack and retaliation. Revenge seeking, followed by even harder and more intense attacks. It’s hard to remain unattached when we desire justice and feel like our integrity and values are at stake.

This week’s energy is so strong, we may be wishing to just lean into the shadows to hide for refuge. We really don’t want to see the underlying cause and what’s trying to surface. There is a trigger and a key clue here about the work we must do to gain inner peace and continue the journey of ascension. We must be brave enough to peek into those shadows and really see what’s there. We may be surprised to find that when we shine the light into the darkness, the demon that we thought we have to fight is also trying to scurry away in fear.

This week may feel heavy but it isn’t all thrown to the wind; this next new moon can assist us with making positive changes. We must be willing to see what isn’t working in order to change. This is a big opportunity to create momentum and upgrade our dreams to what really matters. There are many ways to approach this, first and foremost recognize that there may be uneasiness around what we need to get rid of. Even if it’s no longer serving us, familiar patterns and behaviours can be difficult to leave. There is a strong sense of wanting to make things right that can help us detach. Along with the feeling of needing to balance the scales of justice. At the end of the day our old perceptions can turn into harsh and unfair judgements. There are always truths to both sides of a situation, we must be willing to fully see both sides and find the balance. Each person must accept the light and shadow of self and others to truly make a difference.

I was listening to Christopher Renstrom from Astrology Hub, who was speaking about this week's planetary lineup and what it means to be in a Scorpio new moon. Many astrologers, past and present, reinforce the message that this is a time to monitor our shadow sides. We are being asked to be responsible and keep our attention on how we wish to respond, not allowing ourselves to be triggered by others' portrayals of what’s showing up in the world. This is a time to be focusing on peace and creating peace within. As within - so without.

My own inner peace came after many years of addressing my shadow side through a shamanic lens. I used Reiki to help ease the pain felt in my heart while resolving many shadows lurking in my subconscious. It is not easy to confront and love the darker sides of ourselves, but we all have them. They are part of the human condition that helps us grow and evolve. When we can love our differences and our whole self, we become unconditional love, the reason we are all here.

The west energy (the element of water) within us is present to help keep us on track with our evolution; to see the lotus flower that arises out of the mud. We will be facing challenges in the next couple of years, so create beauty, and appreciate the new lightness. The low vibrating energy will transform into the rising phoenix that will appear after these challenges have been transmuted into higher vibrations through our personal south energy (element of fire).

This week is just the prelude for what is to come, so be aware and be open to start now. Whatever this means and whatever course of action is taken, we must do it head on. It is essential to switch our perceptions of lack, victimhood, negativity and limiting beliefs that we have been programmed with from a very young age. The age of Aquarius is here to create and renew our dreams with clarity and goodness for all. Toe the line and plant the seeds. Your desires will grow into beauty when it is the best and brightest time to shine.

Time to go within!

Mon, 06 Nov 2023 22:21:35 GMT

This week is a beautiful time to connect to the Earth Element

The main focus for this week is the element of earth and its corresponding energy. When we spend time in nature and witness its stillness, we may find moments of clarity and inspiration. This energy brings an opportunity to just be quiet and listen. Listen very closely for what is important and what is valued. We are preparing for 2024 and what the year ahead will be revealing, where our additional inner work needs polishing or a rehaul. Now is the time to take inventory of where personal needs have to change and what we must let go of. We will be glad we got rid of the extra baggage.

As we approach the closing of eclipse season, by the next new moon on November 13, there will be moments when our ego minds want to rush forward. Our inner voice may be calling for new ideas, places to go and new experiences. Our ego voice wants us to hurry up. Like really, can’t we just get on with it already? These are the sentiments I hear a lot lately. However, having time to appreciate this pause or taking this time to go within can be a pure gift in disguise.

This week’s energy will test patience for many of us, urging us to go within to prepare before it’s time to move full-steam ahead. The energies will be calling for action soon enough, in the next weeks and months ahead. So take advantage of the forced lull. It’s a perfect time to focus on self, clearing out the cobwebs of sabotaging thoughts blocking our best intentions. We may see indications of information contradicting everything we’ve been told. So much info out there telling us to “Do it this way, do it that way, stop procrastinating, get it done”. Along with the negative self-talk, this narrative can really damage the dreams that we are gestating. We each have unique opportunities, during this period to transform and change what is no longer working in our lives anymore. It may take time to slowly cull our day-to-day life, some folks may even continue to actualize these big changes into 2024. It will, most likely, require more inner shadow work.

The key here is knowing when to take action and intuitively trust knowing the how, what, where and when. The “should of, could of and would of” that is hidden behind our beliefs keeps the mind in a replay loop, obsessively thinking about what we can’t control.

The universe provides these opportunities to rest and let go of what takes away the fun and feel-good vibes that makes life pleasurable.

Today, take some time and capture those dreams and desires that need cultivating. When it’s go-time, you can start planting and let the co-creations and beauty start to gestate. If the energy feels draggy and unproductive, keep in mind this is temporary. Focusing on gratitude, enjoyment and appreciating what we already have, helps this phase to move quickly. If we use this attitude to fuel up early in the week, we can get our glow on for the remainder.

Here are two strategies to try to dissipate this boggy energy. First is to engage in something totally different. If we really feel that ‘get-moving energy’, try moving/rearranging furniture or cleaning a place at home that is waiting for an overhaul. Second is going out for a walk. Try a new park or location, even a new exercise to mix it up, or a visit with a friend you haven’t seen in a long time. Allowing the mind to focus on something different or new allows great ideas to come through. What often happens is so much amazing creativity and inspiration comes through to keep the momentum to get closer to your sacred dream. If we are in a low-energy mode, then meditation or even an afternoon nap or daydream can recharge and add new inspiration.

Write down creative ideas that come through and feel them out for the next seven days. This week is not a time to be making any swift changes. Strong foundations are important so we have stability in the future. Feel into the energy of this week and use this opportunity to make life changing decisions. Highs and lows of emotions will stir. The challenge is not to get caught in a downward spiral of lower vibration.

Enjoy your week!

Psychic Development

How to operate and move through the 4th Dimension to the 5th

Psychic Development - what does that mean?

Psychic ability is a real gift and skill that has often received a bum rap over the years, as woo woo, devil worship, make believe, imaginary and not real. The reality is, that people can remote view and see images pertaining to future events that come through dreams and prophetic predictions. Some can see and read energies of the past and quite simply put, learn to “read the energy” through energy teams of quarks and tachyons. This information travels from slower to faster than the speed of light and back again. What is a challenge in today's world is to be able to receive, perceive and know without attachment, and then move through and above the 4th dimension canopy and be in the energy of love and co-creation in the 5th dimension.

The 4th dimension (4D) is the astral world between the 3D, the stars, space and time. It holds the polarity and massive constructs that hold us in patterns, that keep us operating in the duality of what we have been subjected to through the 4th dimension. But, it also gives us the amazing energy from the other dimensions that allow us to be creative. The 4D is a matrix that is filled with the divine of guides, spirit beings, duality of good and evil, archetypes and myths, our emotions and thoughts in the web of the matrix.

There is mathematical science to explain all of this, but let’s discuss in more simple terms. Everyone can learn to harness the power of this gift. The third eye (6th Chakra), the heart mind (4th Chakra), and sacral chakra (2nd Chakra) are all key players. Yes, some folks are talented and have a unique awareness that they have had since they were a child. There is so much evidence today that this is easier to do than ever before and that we can now consciously access all space and time. It is more available to us now than ever before because of what we call “The Veil.” This veil has thinned more noticeably over the years, since 2012. The veil is a doorway or gateway to the reality of the 4D. The 4th dimension is the collective consciousness of our thoughts and feelings. It is also the access point to the memory of human events throughout time.

Any frequencies and vibrations that are caught between 4D and 3D can be felt and seen, such as spirits, energy and other forms that can’t be seen in this 3D reality. Wild - right? You may even feel at times that folks are not seeing or feeling you. This is because some of us are already operating in the 5th dimension. We will be popping in and out, between these dimensions, as we continue to increase our vibration and frequency. Don ‘t take it personally, as they really are not hearing, seeing or feeling you.

We are being given the opportunity to make a choice right now, to operate in the scarcity and victim mindset that is operating out of the fears and our shadow selves of the past, or to be in the 5D realm, operating in love and co-creativity. I see clearly the choices being made. Some are on the fence, doing their inner work and resolving these places of a lower frequency.

Using our psychic gifts and connections to move past that canopy, is like emerging through the dark thickness and drawing in a clear breath of pure light and energy. It is clear to me where I will be and what is very much a part of my everyday life, to not give up, to work through the mystery and mist and maintain a compassionate place of love and non-attachment. Being, learning and acquiring knowledge from the ancestors of the plants, animals and my ancestor line.

Moods of Stalking, Core Personalities & Body Types

carell@kilifestyle.ca (Carell Mehl) — Mon, 20 Jun 2022 18:57:13 GMT

Moods of Stalking

Carlos Casteneda describes the Moods of Stalking as “an expression of a human’s way of doing and creating”.

The moods of stalking are an integral part of our personalities. They are based on the stories we create from our belief systems. Although there are four, usually only two moods are prevalent as we learn to interact in the world.

Listed below are some basic descriptions of the four moods of stalking and personality traits.

“Sweetness

Giving and pure authenticity.
Emotional fluidity.
Can be very foolish and give power away.
Easily lead into addiction”. (Strikes and Orsi)

“Patience

Passion and excitement for life.
Equal balance in determining or directing energy. Acceptance of what is in the moment.
Avoidance of responsibility.
Prejudiced and judgmental”. (Strikes and Orsi)

“Cunning

Able to see many viewpoints and high awareness.
Good sense of humor and less serious.
Can be cruel with a rigid point of view.
Inner dialogue is always trying to rationalize a decision”. (Strikes and Orsi)

“Ruthlessness

Perfect health and persevere to not be a quitter.
Being able to use it with pain of any kind - in all aspects of self.
Harshness and greed in order to manipulate.
Gains at the expense of others”. (Strikes and Orsi)

Core Personalities

“There are three core personalities: The Do-gooder, The Fart and The Space Cadet. The names, given by the twisted hairs, are from male and female elders with powers of knowledge from what was once called Turtle Island The names are meant to help us lighten up about ourselves” (Strikes & Orsi).

“The Do-gooder (Idealist)

Are loveable and nice people.
Help others but not themselves. They need direction.
Want to be acknowledged for their good deeds which helps to boost their self-worth.
Can make a difference and will do so” (Strikes and Orsi).

“The Fart

Are great leaders (love the power but not the responsibility).
Understand energy and should lead from a place of service.
Can be very nasty and insist that people should conform to their rules and laws.
Are hypercritical of self” (Strikes and Orsi).

“The Space Cadet (Daydreamer)

Are neither nice nor unpleasant. They serve no one.
Wait for things to happen and procrastinate.
Overpromise and don’t deliver.
They are amazing creators and visionaries. They are very detailed when they create” (Strikes and Orsi).

Body Types

There are five body types. Each person typically encompasses two body types and operates from both. Although we usually identify with traits from all five body types, there are two that are most prevalent.

Below are some of the main traits for each body type that explain how we hold our presenting energy defense:

Schizoid

Presenting complaints, fear and anxiety.
Feeling like you are separated from life or don’t belong.
May be hyperactive or ungrounded.

Masochist

Strong need for independence.
Head is forward and the build is heavy.

The Seven Chakras

carell@kilifestyle.ca (Carell Mehl) — Mon, 09 May 2022 17:31:31 GMT

Root

The Root is associated with the element of earth and grounding. It establishes the deepest connections with our physical body, our environment and with the Earth. All events that threaten our basic survival are recorded within energies of the first chakra.

Sacrum

The Sacum seeks passion, pleasure and enjoyment. It is our centre of feeling, emotion, pleasure, sensuality, intimacy and connection. It represents how we experience our lives through feelings and sensations.

Solar Plexus

The Solar Plexus is our identity/ego and the centre of our willpower (the perception of who we are). It is our inner confidence and self esteem. It is also the centre for our lower emotions and associated behaviours.

Heart

The Heart is the centre of our deep bonds with other beings, our sense of caring and compassion, our feelings of self-love, altruism, generosity, kindness and respect. When the heart chakra is open and energy is flowing freely, we are loving with others and with ourselves. We know when to say no and when we need care and self-nurturing. It is the centre of our self truth and higher-self guidance.

Throat

The gift of this chakra is to accept our originality, express our authentic voice and speak our truth. It is linked directly to our personal integrity and sense of honour. It is the communication centre, where we learn to express who we are and what we stand for. This is also the centre for manifestation. A person with an open throat chakra is a good listener. They enable other people to have the experience of being heard, which is one of the most profound human needs.

Third Eye

The Third Eye is the ability to see both inner and outer worlds. It allows us to experience clear thoughts as well as gifts of spiritual contemplation and self reflection. It allows us to access the inner guidance that comes from the depths of our being. It helps us cut through illusion and access deeper truths; to see beyond the mind and beyond the words. The Third Eye is not only the seat of wisdom, but is also the seat of conscience. This is where we are able to see what is going on and understand what it means. This is also where our sense of justice and ethics originates.

Crown

The Crown is the seat of cosmic consciousness. It connects us to Divine intelligence and Divine grace. The energy of this chakra allows us to experience mystical oneness with everyone and everything in nature. It is the fundamental connection to the Akashik Records. It receives energy to sustain life and returns the personal energy to unite with the collective pool of consciousness.

Chakra Systems

carell@kilifestyle.ca (Carell Mehl) — Mon, 18 Apr 2022 22:39:14 GMT

What is a chakra?

The term ‘Chakra’ is Sanskrit for wheel and refers to the spinning, spherical energy center that makes up a chakra. This energy is ancestrally known as ‘prana’, like the pranayama breathing techniques (breath control) from practices such as yoga and meditation.

Why are chakras important in Reiki practices?

In Reiki, we focus on the chakra system and the energy egg. The energy egg is the three-layered electromagnetic field (or auric field) of energy that surrounds and penetrates our body’s chakras. These energy centers work together to create a healthy chakra system for our energetic and physical body. Each chakra has distinct characteristics that relate to different aspects of the spirit, soul and mind. These aspects will influence and regulate our physical bodies and determine our perception of reality.

How many chakras do we have?

In Reiki, we focus on all twelve chakra s. However, there are seven main Chakras that have specific locations placed along the body. These locations are above the head, between the legs, the front of the body through to the back of the body. The chakras that are on the front of the body have a corresponding energy vortex on the back of the body. The front vortices correlate with our emotional centers, while the back vortices encompass our will centers. In a perfectly healthy person, each of the seven chakras works in unison to provide a balance of energy for every part of the body, mind, spirit and soul.

Intent & Prayer

carell@kilifestyle.ca (Carell Mehl) — Mon, 21 Mar 2022 15:06:26 GMT

What is Intent?

When we create an intent, there is a desire to generate change based on a reason or purpose. We need to keep an open mind and fully believe that change is possible. One of the ways this can be accomplished is through repetition of a phrase or statement, like a mantra. Mantras incorporate spiritual practices to connect with various energies. When a mantra includes an intent, we can manifest the desired change.

What is Prayer?

Prayer is the source of energy consciousness for the upper realms (God, an entity, etc.). It is spiritual in its connection to everything. When we pray, it is usually for “an object or benefit”. 1 It is typically for a purpose (intent) and the purpose for one’s prayers can be personal, professional or altruistic. Prayer also creates a container to go deeper inside ourselves. Once inside, it becomes a time for reflection. It is through reflection that we can be guided towards creating our desired reality and enact the necessary changes.

Similarities Between Intent & Prayer

Intent and prayer share similar characteristics. When we concentrate, we discover the immense power and energetic strength both intention and prayer have to vibrationally attract a desired outcome. Both methods depend upon an open mind to create a mental space that allows for change of thought or feeling. It is through reflection that we can begin to understand how we create our reality and what we may want to change. When intent and prayer are combined, something very powerful and magical can occur.

Vibrational Energy

carell@kilifestyle.ca (Carell Mehl) — Sat, 05 Mar 2022 17:06:30 GMT

What Is Vibrational Energy?

Energy travels in waves and can be measured in frequencies. Our bodies have the ability to emit emotional vibrations which can be felt in both lower and higher frequencies. The lower vibrational frequencies are associated with negative emotions like sadness and anger, while the higher vibrational frequencies are associated with the more positive emotions like happiness and love.

Why Is Vibrational Energy Important?

We can learn to express our energetic vibrations in ways that not only contribute to the betterment of ourselves, but also to our entire planet. This will enable us to reach a level of Unity Consciousness, or the nature of oneness, so that we may also live in harmony with one another. There is healing energy surrounding us and we all have the power to attract the healing vibrations that create ultimate health and well being. When harnessed properly, our bodies subtle energy templates can hone into the right frequency of vibrational medicine and bring us coherence and balance. As we heal ourselves, that energy gets stronger and encourages the remaining energy templates to follow.

What Can We Do To Raise Our Vibrational Frequency?

If we want to change our life, we must also change our vibrational frequency. This process requires more than just changing our actions for we must also change our attitude and entire feeling state. It is only when we change our feeling state that we change our vibrational energy.

Totems and Birth Totem Animals

carell@kilifestyle.ca (Carell Mehl) — Fri, 11 Feb 2022 16:29:15 GMT

What are totems and what do they mean?

Totems are a representation seen through a natural sacred object that has spiritual significance. They can be a mineral, plant or animal and are used to represent a society or clan. Totems can help our spirits align with the many parts of Mother Earth as they have vast wisdom that can help us heal and maintain a healthy lifestyle. If we practice a shamanic lifestyle, we can also use their vibration to help in our daily lives.

The first part of the task is finding or aligning with a totem. The second part is to get to know their vibration, characteristics and habits. We should ask what the totem has to teach or help us with. The third part is learning how to intuitively connect with them when you need to.

How do we align with the right totem?

There are a few ways to determine what totem fits with our vibration and higher knowing or dreamer self. We can rely upon our higher knowing as it is always available to help us connect through our intuition. We can therefore presume that it will help us intuitively recognize that the totem we are attracted to will be perfect for us. This however, requires trust as doubt will creep in when the totem does not seem appealing or it is not the favorite choice. If we research what they are, where and how they live and what makes them unique, however, it can dispel some of the doubt we are feeling. Also, in gaining a better understanding of our totem and their vibration, we will begin to appreciate the healing properties and comfort they may provide. This is the “medicine” or medicinal properties we are seeking.

Another way to find our totem is through meditation. Although there are many ways to meditate, we will only be listing a few. There is a meditative journey in which the use of a drum allows us to connect with our totem in the ether or void space (also called the dream space) and the field of knowledge. Another way is a walking or dancing meditation in nature which can be done on our own or in a group. The peaceful sounds of nature allow for an immersive experience in which the right totem can be revealed. There is also dream meditation, which is accomplished while we are asleep. This type of meditation can unveil our totem to us through a message in our sleep or dream altar or ceremonial journey.

Whichever form of mediation is preferred, it is helpful to create an intent so we can work with the energy of the spirit helpers. The intent centers around what the outcome or purpose is and why we are seeking that outcome or purpose. Sometimes we are looking for something specific and permanent, like our power animal. Other times, we are looking for our totem with a definite purpose and shorter time frame.

What is our birth totem and how do we find it?

Our birth totem is determined by our birthday. It is provided to us through the teachings of Sun Bear and his Earth Astrological Reference Chart, which is found in his book A Sun Bear Book, Dancing With The Wheel, The Medicine Wheel Workbook. The date system is very close to Western Astrology, so it is easy to navigate with our birth date information. Here is a quick reference to get started and learn more about birth totems.

Budding Trees Moon: Mar 21 - Apr 19

Frogs Return Moon: Apr 20 - May 20

Cornplanting Moon: May 21 - June 20

Strong Sun Moon: June 21 - July 22

Ripe Berries Moon: July 23 - Aug.22

Harvest Moon: Aug.23 - Sept.22

Ducks Fly Moon: Sept.23 - Oct.23

Freeze Up Moon: Oct.24 - Nov.21

Long Snows Moon: Nov.22 - Dec.21

Earth Renewal Moon: Dec 22 - Jan 19

Rest & Cleansing Moon: Jan 20 - Feb 18

Big Winds Moon: Feb. 19 - Mar. 20

Anyone wishing for more information regarding their birth totems can access the links below and start researching this very special way to connect to the natural medicine from the earth. We are currently in the Rest and Cleansing Moon January 20 to February 18, which is the Humanitarian. The animal totem is the Otter.

Coming Up

The Earth Medicine Workshops that are coming up soon will provide an opportunity to learn more about Medicine Wheels and how to travel them. These Workshops will also provide an introduction to journeying, ceremonies, rituals, shamanism, totems, the influence of moon cycles and much more. The workshops are designed to have some in person experience so we may practice the amazing ways we can learn, heal and grow.

Happy Holidays

carell@kilifestyle.ca (Carell Mehl) — Fri, 17 Dec 2021 17:57:10 GMT

The holiday season is upon us and the happiness and cheer that permeates this time of year is infectious. Many of us have been busy preparing for the big day. We have been following traditions that are both universally shared as well as unique to each family. Did you know that many of the universally shared traditions are, in truth, borrowed from ancient winter solstice celebrations?

“The winter solstice was originally a Pagan holiday that was celebrated on the day of the shortest daylight and longest night. The pagan holiday was called Yule in Scandinavia, lasted twelve days and created the custom of burning a yule log to celebrate the rebirth of the sun since after the winter solstice the days gradually get longer again.” 1

Many of the traditions that have been adopted from times past include the decorating of evergreen trees, eating elaborate meals, imbibing in drink, hanging holly and mistletoe (though for different reasons) and if possible, enjoying a roaring fire. The tradition of gift giving though is unique to more modern times (since around the 1800s) and was not part of the original winter solstice celebrations. It really is the traditions and spending time with family that make Christmas so special!

Christmas Trivia

Question : What two things made red and green popular Christmas colors?

Answer : Holly and Coca-Cola. While the tradition of red and green holly dates back to Roman winter solstice celebrations, the Coca-Cola company also played a role. The soda makers popularized the plump and jolly red-suit-wearing Santa in an ad in 1931. 2

Inner Work: Stuck in a Victim Mentality

carell@kilifestyle.ca (Carell Mehl) — Fri, 26 Nov 2021 21:19:26 GMT

Every day we experience positive or negative situations either directly or indirectly. It is how we decide to react in the negative situations that determines if we are stuck in a victim mentality. A victim mentality is when we “constantly blame other people or situations for the things that happen”[1] to us. Instead of asking why this happened and what lesson there was to learn, this evaluation process becomes blocked. This is a heavy burden that creates mistrust and negative energy and it can be detrimental to our health and relationships. It also keeps us from learning how we could react more appropriately in similar situations. So, how do we break this cycle?

We need to focus on our inner work and practice forgiveness. This can help us to rebuild our trust in others and teach us to respond positively when we are experiencing negative situations. We can also heal past traumas and learn to recognize our emotional triggers. This will help us learn how to respond with confidence when we become triggered. If we can accept responsibility for our actions and acknowledge that blaming others is preventing us from finding happiness, then we have learned how to break the cycle. We can now move closer to a place of love, joy and peace.

If we continue to do our inner work, we can learn to love ourselves and know that the more we do, the more love will be returned to us. The universe returns that love by enabling us to work and live alongside one another, be in accord with one another and enjoy abundance. Our higher self or wisdom of knowing understands this and will serve us in a way that is meant for us to experience. All that is required is patience, tenacity, trust, courage and love.

If you need help breaking the cycle of victim mentality, KI Lifestyle Solutions offers many programs and classes that can assist you. If there are any questions or further information is required, please contact Carell at carell@kilifestyle.ca or via our website at kilifestyle.ca/contact . Inspire, Heal, Grow! Namaste!

Inner Work: Working Through the Chaos

carell@kilifestyle.ca (Carell Mehl) — Fri, 12 Nov 2021 17:55:40 GMT

Chaos is often associated with situations or experiences that are overwhelming in their intensity and magnitude. These situations can be either very large and uncontrollable or contained with many things occurring simultaneously. It can be difficult to hear and engage with our intuition when we are ungrounded and emotionally triggered for this can create feelings of uncertainty, fear and panic. This is why it is important to remain calm and present so that we may allow our intuition to guide us. So, how can we remain calm and hear our intuition when we are surrounded by chaos?

If we permit ourselves to pause, breathe and relax, our intuition can lead us to a place of greater comfort. The length of the pause is dependent upon the situation. In a life survival situation, for instance, we would only take a short pause as we need to react quickly. We need to trust our intuition 100% and follow where it leads us until we have reached safety. On the other end of the spectrum, we can take a longer pause when we are not in a dangerous situation. In this instance, we must also trust our intuition but can make a decision without as much pressure. If we wish to learn how to hear and trust in our intuition completely, we must commit to practicing frequently.

I have been practicing these skills for many years and on one occasion, my hard work was rewarded. My husband and I were on a trip to the United States and had to change flights at an unfamiliar airport that had many different terminals. We were fearful of missing our connecting flight and while we were trying to follow the signs and directions to find the next gate (which were not clear), we realized we were in the wrong terminal. Although my husband was getting more confused and agitated, I remained calm so that I could engage with my intuition. In a moment, I clearly heard from my higher self, grabbed my husband’s hand and switched direction. Without a word, I led us to the right building and we caught our flight. After we had reached our destination, we discussed how easily my husband followed me without knowing why. I explained that by pausing and allowing my intuitive voice to guide me, I trusted implicitly where my intuition was leading me.

Inner Work: How to Deal With Loss & Remain in the Intuitive Flow

carell@kilifestyle.ca (Carell Mehl) — Fri, 29 Oct 2021 17:07:13 GMT

Dealing with loss can be devastating and the future can seem unbearable. This is especially true if our identity is associated with the person or thing we have lost. Sometimes the emotional experience can cloud our intuition and leave us feeling numb. If we wish to remain in the intuitive flow however, it is necessary to maintain our inner work. We need to move our awareness inward to allow and release (feel and acknowledge) so we can heal the emotion(s). If we can grant ourselves permission to pause, we can once again engage with our intuition and eventually resume our lives. The length of this pause can only be determined by us. If we are unable to heal ourselves, we may need to seek help from a professional. Once there has been emotional healing, then we can ask ourselves what we have learned?

Although it may be difficult to fathom, there is always something to be learned from any loss. We might learn stronger coping mechanisms or strategies that can benefit different aspects of our lives. We might learn to accept and appreciate the privilege to gain more in life and add to our wisdom and knowledge. We might learn to become more open to hearing our intuitive voice and finding our inner strength and resilience. Depending on what we learn, our lives might remain the same or they might be completely different. Indeed sometimes emotional healing can strengthen us into who we are meant to be. This is why loss is one of the most crucial awareness pieces.

Inner Work: Attachment

carell@kilifestyle.ca (Carell Mehl) — Fri, 15 Oct 2021 18:37:28 GMT

Attachment can be a feeling we experience in certain situations as well as a physical connection to a person, place or thing. It may seem harmless to become attached, especially if you are nurturing and comforting by nature, but it is not. The harm arises when a stronger emotion such as fear dims our intuitive voice and effectively shadows our perception of reality. This can lead the amygdala, the part of the brain that is responsible for the fight or flight response, to perceive a problem and attempt to resolve it. While we are engaged in fight or flight, the amygdala also has the ability to overtake our intuition. If this occurs, it is not detrimental for there can be harmony between our intuition and the amygdala, if we allow for non-attachment.

While attachment tends to cloud our intuitive decision making and keep us entangled in immediate emotional gratification, non-attachment serves to relieve this by creating calm and reassurance that is free from any fears of who we may become. When we are free from attachments, we can implement coping mechanisms and that is when our intuitive voice can be clearly heard. We can accomplish non-attachment by identifying, healing and releasing the emotions associated with the attachment. Although the process is long and arduous, it is necessary if we truly desire to reach intuitive excellence.

Attachment often results in energy loss and that is the biggest hurdle or challenge we face on our journey towards intuitive excellence . It is because we have created “stories” about the attachment(s) and these stories create an identity of who we perceive ourselves to be. Once we recognize this, we can release the emotion that is no longer serving us and regain our intuitive voice. We must strive to embrace a state of non-attachment, for when we are finally free of attachment, we are finally free to reach Complete Intuitive Excellence and experience a more magical life.

What Does Personal Healing Mean & Why Is It So Important?

carell@kilifestyle.ca (Carell Mehl) — Fri, 01 Oct 2021 15:50:18 GMT

Our perceptions and views are influenced by societal expectations and the guidance we receive during our childhood and adolescence. This is why true awareness often eludes many of us and why personal healing is so important. In the first installment of our six part series, we will be discussing what Personal Healing is and why it is so important. Personal healing is our inner work or acceptance of our perceptions and patterns of thinking/programming. It is only from within that we can find the peace, joy and love we all strive for in this life. This includes all of the aspects that can be cared for within our physical, mental, emotional, spiritual and life forces. It requires constant care for it is only through consistent review that we become aware of what is out of balance. Thus, our decisions or choices, based on our free will, ultimately determine the effect or outcome.

If our inner work is being neglected when an emotional trigger occurs, it disrupts the harmony in our lives and takes control of our intuition. This could be detrimental to our earning capability, health and family life which is why commitment to personal healing should be paramount. This cannot be solely learned from books as you need to personally experience it to fully know and understand. It is only through real engagement and commitment that changes in the brain and body will disrupt these internal patterns. It all begins with us!

As I continually heal my inner wheel, I feel the effects of how much my intuition has expanded and grown. The moments of realization have only increased my curiosity and wonder, effectively prompting me to do more and be more than I ever have been. I am one of the team members and co-founders of “The Universal Foundation for Holistic Design” . This group evolves and creates whole regenerative systems in unity consciousness with principles and philosophies that foster wholeness.

What Is Intuitive Excellence?

carell@kilifestyle.ca (Carell Mehl) — Fri, 17 Sep 2021 03:27:10 GMT

Intuitive Excellence is a learned skill that can enrich our lives and empower us to make better decisions. It teaches us to trust our intuition which then allows us to see our environment from a different perspective. When we can clearly listen, feel, sense and know, we can create more flow and use less energy. This is particularly effective when we listen in a neutral state that is open to all possibilities, as it can help us create a lifestyle that is more harmonious and balanced with nature. We, in turn, become more responsible for our lives, bodies, families and communities.

Even though our world sometimes makes us feel out of control, what motivates me is hope. Hope that is born out of knowing we are experiencing an evolution of deeper understanding. We are beginning to explore and navigate energy fields and flow with more synchronicity than ever before. Science is also becoming more aware of, and supportive of these very real abilities. They can even be measured through brain waves (gamma waves) and our hearts. If you would like to hear more, please click on the following link: https://youtu.be/W2s1Yh_c l aw

A major challenge for many of my clients and students is becoming “emotionally triggered” in certain situations as they cannot seem to break the pattern of repeating an emotion(s). The emotions range from anger, fear, frustration, judgement and sometimes feeling personally attacked. When we experience an “emotional trigger”, we do not hear our intuition clearly because we are responding or behaving in the same manner we have learned from past experiences. We are essentially stuck, until we take action to change the pattern or our emotional response to it. It is never too late to learn to listen to our intuition, indeed it will only strengthen our intuitive abilities and further enhance our life.

If you want to heal the emotional response, you must first acknowledge the emotion you are feeling and recognize that you were triggered. Then, you must release it. This takes practice, as it may stem from another lifetime, past event or trauma. If you are unable to accomplish this on your own, you may require the help of a professional practitioner. If we learn to trust our intuitive abilities, so much can change around us, even the planet. Intuitive Excellence will take us into a magical life of health and abundance as we wake up to the new world we all desire. Are you ready?

How Perception Influences & Shares Our Intuition

carell@kilifestyle.ca (Carell Mehl) — Fri, 03 Sep 2021 18:32:40 GMT

In the fifth installment of our six part series, we will be discussing How Perception Influences and Shares Our Intuition. Your perception of reality is influenced by your ego characteristics and it could affect your actions, decisions and emotions. If your perception is clouded by negative energy, it becomes difficult to trust and follow your intuition. If, however, you learn to trust and operate from your intuitive sense, you will begin to clearly hear, sense or know. This is because your intuitive sense does not have the emotional filters you normally rely upon. The question then becomes, if you could focus on what is being presented without judgment or reaction, what would be revealed?

As an example, today I received a free lesson in honing my intuition. I joyfully drove up to my favourite coffee shop to get in line for the drive through. Another vehicle and myself approached the lineup at the same time. There were two ways to approach the line up. I moved forward slightly to proceed but the person in the other vehicle got impatient and honked their horn to let me know they were next. I gladly allowed the other vehicle to proceed ahead of me, even though the line wasn’t moving. There was some kind of issue being resolved at the drive through window. The other person waited approximately a minute before pulling into a parking stall and proceeding to enter the coffee shop.

Soon after, the line began to move and I joyfully placed my order. I acknowledged the person who was so impatient and sent good vibes their way. I hoped that they would have a better day. I approached the drive through window ready to pay for my coffee order when the lovely barista informed me that the person in front of me paid for my coffee. Wow, that made me feel so grateful and thankful. It truly made my day!

Thank you to whoever you are for your random act of kindness. This situation showed me that because I chose to stay calm, positive and send love, the outcome was definitely a great gift. Unfortunately, the person who was impatient missed out on that gift. I wonder how many acts of kindness I missed due to my impatience and feelings of being inconvenienced. I am sure there were many, many times. The difference today was that I chose a different way to show up. I showed up with love, kindness and a curiosity of what the universe had to offer.

Any time you have an agenda, cause, purpose or focus, it triggers a need for self protection.

This is because it is reminiscent of a story you have experienced before. You will continue to respond, react or behave in a similar way, until the emotional elements are properly healed. When there is trauma, this is especially true, as it will linger and wait until a particular trigger reappears. In repairing the damage, you can find the courage to face your everyday realities. As you continue to heal, you will begin to understand the matrix you live in.

The assemblage point, as described by Carlos Castaneda in The Teachings of Don Juan: A Yaqui Way of Knowing (1985), further explores this concept through a shamanic lens. Those on a warrior healing path strive to control reality by mastering their awareness. This requires being aware of your intention and holding space for it. Once mastered, your intention will grow with a clearer understanding of your surroundings. If you are not on this path, you can still gain a different perspective and ultimately evolve your intuition. The previous discussion on the three categories of our body structures, core personality and moods of stalking are also prevalent and involved in this awareness.

A trained practitioner, who is familiar with the assemblage, can assist and instill relief from the emotions that shroud and darken your experiences. Emotions such as anxiety, fear, anger, distress and panic will remain if they are not properly healed. This tends to silence your intuitive abilities. In finding the root cause or removing the delusion, you could gain a deeper understanding of your intuitive abilities on a level you have never before experienced. The key components to reaching this level are intent, awareness and alchemizing the energy. This can help the energy transform and allow you to engage or observe objectively in what is occurring. If you can find the truth in this for yourself, a new trust will emerge and you will experience a new freedom.

Part six, which concludes our series, will discuss How we can Improve Our Intuition. It will be posted to our blog on September 17, 2021.

Mastering the Energy Field of Survival

carell@kilifestyle.ca (Carell Mehl) — Fri, 20 Aug 2021 22:38:24 GMT

In the fourth installment of our six part series, we will be discussing how to Master the Energy Field of Survival. In the previous installments, we have explored the three key categories of our Ego Characteristics and how they help us survive and dance through life. These characteristics, when expressed through a Shamanic lens (in regards to energy), enable us to gain a deeper understanding of how we interact in the world when faced with stressful situations. In these situations, we tend to disregard how much our emotions either block our energy, when we operate on the dark side (harmful to our bodies), or release our energy, when we operate on the light side (heal our bodies). While our essence is focused on survival, we do not use our amazing intuitive gifts. We could save time, frustration and energy, if we were to instead focus on mastering the light side of our unique qualities.

Mastering our Energy Field is a process that requires personal work to achieve success. Listed below are some tips on how to accomplish this:

Acknowledge Emotional Triggers.
Release and clear the energy you are holding.
Seek help if you can’t accomplish this on your own.
Forgiving your-self.
Celebrate your healing and accomplishments.
Recognize it starts with you and then your outside world can change.
It is never too late to begin. Even in life transitions, this energy can transform.

We have created an avatar (fictitious person) that will illustrate and clarify any questions you may have regarding the last four installments. The avatar will possess one or more qualities of an Ego Character (through the Shemanic lens), a Core Personality, the Moods of Stalking, and will also Master their Energy Field. You may relate to one or all the avatar’s traits, which will help you gain a deeper understanding of yourself or perhaps someone you know.

Our avatar is female and lives near the city. Her Ego Character is a Masochist/Skitzoid with the Core Personality of a Do-Gooder and her Moods of Stalking are “Ruthless and Cunning” (Castaneda, Carlos, The Teachings of Don Juan: A Yaqui Way of Knowledge, 1985). She is in her late 40’s and has a position of authority in a corporate job.

Although she enjoys her job and has been successful, she also loves being a mom and wife. She wants to contribute more to her family’s needs but never puts herself first. She has also been feeling lost and wondering how she can better fulfill her desires and be of service to humanity. Lately, she has been wondering if exploring some of her spiritual curiosity will provide her with an opportunity to help those in need but is afraid of quitting a great paying job. Although she longs to escape the corporate arena, she needs the security of knowing where her next paycheque is coming from. The confusion surrounding these issues leads to feelings of hopelessness at times and causes her to become overwhelmed. Even though she possesses a strong sense of knowing when she has a clear vision, the uncertainty she feels often drowns out the soft intuitive messages.

She often speaks her mind and is told that she can sometimes be quite abrupt. She can talk herself into and out of anything. If there is something she needs badly enough, she can manipulate the situation to make her world work for her. While she is always willing to help her friends and neighbors, there is an underlying expectation of reciprocation. She feels she is a survivalist and is numb to any kind of pain. If she doesn’t like what she is feeling, she can choose to leave her body in an instant. This often leaves her feeling disoriented and lost ( not grounded). She always wants to maintain a peaceful existence, is trustworthy and has a high sense of integrity.

Our avatar is an empath who is unaware of her abilities. She not only feels everyone's energy, but often mistakes those energies as her own. This creates anxiety and emotional turbulence.

Her body structure is quite thick and she possesses an excessive amount of energy. As an energy generator, she feels the heat and knows how to run her life force. She loves being with others but gets overwhelmed sometimes by how she feels in crowds. She has amazing ideas and wants to create more but doesn’t feel she can succeed on her own.

What approach would you use if she came to you for a session or coaching based on her traits? First and foremost, you must approach her with neutrality. Even though she may not share all of the parts of herself with you initially, if you can read the body structure first, you will notice her physical appearance and how she comments on the questions you ask. When you are holding a space with a masochist, like our avatar, you cannot humiliate her. You will need to check in with her to ensure she is hearing what you say as she possesses the ability to leave her body when the need to escape arises. This is especially true if the emotion is hard to deal with. These reactions would reveal more of a skizoid structure.

Since our avatar is also ruthless, she will be straight up about what she does or does not like. This trait can be advantageous in regards to healing, as she will definitely pursue it. Did you notice how her cunning is engaging if she is trying to get out of something that isn’t comfortable? She will also want to know everything about the process and what the expected result will be because she just has to know. The core personality will relax though and become pleasant if you are clear and concise, especially if you assign tasks, such as homework.

This brief summary serves to highlight how the choices we make are for protecting ourselves and our essence. It also shows how our perception of feeding the dark side or the light side will further keep our ego character fed with the reality we have created.

KI Lifestyle Solutions offers programs and classes that further explore these traits and issues. If you would like information about our services, or have any questions, please contact Carell at carell@kilifestyle.ca or via our website at kilifestyle.ca/contact. Inspire, Heal, Grow! Namaste!

Part five of our series, which will discuss How our Perception of Reality Molds our Story and Affects our Intuition, will be posted to our blog on September 3, 2021.

Moods of Stalking: Our Actions and Intuition

carell@kilifestyle.ca (Carell Mehl) — Fri, 06 Aug 2021 05:41:44 GMT

The Moods of Stalking are described by Carlos Casteneda as an expression of doing and creating, in his book The Power of Silence and The Teachings of Don Juan: A Yaqui Way of Knowledge . In the third installment of our five part series, we will discuss how the moods of stalking are an integral part of our personalities. They are based on the stories we create from our belief systems. Although there are four, we only choose two moods as we learn to interact in the world. These moods and stories shape both our ego character and the way we view or perceive the world around us. Depending on the selected moods, our body structure and core personality can come from either a place of darkness (dark side) or light (light side).

Listed below are some basic descriptions of the four moods of stalking personalities, as described in Jan Orsi and Thunder Strikes book Song of the Deer: The Great Sundance Journey of the Soul . See if you can identify your natural way of operating.

Sweetness

A giving and pure authenticity.
Emotional fluidity.
Can be very foolish and give power away.
Easily lead into addiction.

Patience

Passion and excitement for life.
Equal balance in determining or directing energy. Acceptance of what is in the moment.
Avoidance of responsibility.
Prejudiced and judgmental.

Cunning

Able to see many viewpoints and high awareness.
Good sense of humor and less serious.
Can be cruel with a rigid point of view.
Inner dialogue is always trying to rationalize a decision.

Ruthlessness

Perfect health and persevere to not be a quitter.
Being able to use it with pain of any kind - in all aspects of self.
Harshness and greed in order to manipulate.
Gains at the expense of others.

Our ego character, combined with our moods and stories, often allows us to hide from our true or innate self. We tend to create a perception of reality that we can identify with, based on those stories. This will continue until we gain an understanding of our nature and how our ego character has been molded and programmed by our surroundings. This encompasses our social and environmental surroundings as well as our family lineage and ancestors. The ultimate goal is to erase the past stories, heal, and re-write our destiny. So, how do we accomplish this?

When we combine free will with an awareness of our ego character’s survival instincts, we can find the light side that exists within. This is the pure openness of heart, love and compassion. When we find this light, we will begin to hear our intuition clearly. This will occur when we stop putting so much energy into trying to survive rather than creating beauty and light.

KI Lifestyle Solutions offers programs and classes that delve further into identifying these key traits. Together, we can illuminate your inner light.

Part four of our series, which will discuss our Body Structure, Core and Moods of Stalking, will be posted to our blog on August 20, 2021.

The Core Personalities: Their Light & Dark Characteristics

carell@kilifestyle.ca (Carell Mehl) — Fri, 23 Jul 2021 04:20:10 GMT

In the second installment of our five part series, we will discuss what determines your core personality. According to The Power of Silence by Carlos Casteneda and Song Of The Deer: The Great Sun Dance Journey of the Soul by Thunder Strikes with Jan Orsi, the “Core Personality” is decided before you are born and developed in the womb. It appears by year one and is ingrained by year three (Strikes & Orsi). It is how we learn to operate and engage with life. It emerges when a person is faced with an emergency or other high stress situation (Strikes & Orsi). There is also an innate light and dark side of who we are. This part of the ego is difficult to relate to as it is always waiting to protect our essence at any cost.

There are three core personalities; the Do-gooder, the Fart and the Space Cadet (Strikes & Orsi). The names, given by the twisted hairs, are from male and female elders with powers of knowledge from what was once called Turtle island (Strikes & Orsi). The names are meant to help us lighten up about ourselves (Strikes & Orsi). There are some basic descriptions of the three core personalities listed below. What traits do you identify with your core personality?

The Do-gooder (Idealist)

They are loveable and nice people.
They help others but not themselves. They need direction.
They want to be acknowledged for their good deeds, which boosts their self-worth.
They can make a difference and will do so.

The Fart

They are great leaders (love the power but not the responsibility).
They understand energy and should lead from a place of service.
They can be very nasty and insist that people should conform to their rules and laws.
They are hypercritical of self.

The Space Cadet (Daydreamer)

They are neither nice nor unpleasant. They serve no one.
They wait for things to happen and procrastinate.
They overpromise and don’t deliver.
They are amazing creators and visionaries. They are very detailed when they create.

When my ego perceives a story based on the reality I have created, it reminds me that I can relate with my innate self in a new light of healing and learning. The many years I have spent studying has helped me understand how to overcome the obstacles of working with my shadow self and embrace the light side of nature. It has empowered me and enabled me to relate to other lifetimes and to make better choices in my life, in a Dharma way of living.

I have also studied with Gael Carter and Marilyn Keffer at The Institute for Shamanic Medicine. They identify these names as Idealist, Fart and Daydreamer. I will use these names interchangeably based on the wisdom teaching I may refer to. My core personality allows me to focus on my strengths, so I can transcend my ego. I use my understanding of these teachings to overcome the obstacles that could have crippled me and forced me to stay in the shadows. When I realized I could heal and grow from this knowledge, I recognized that I wanted to be of service to others. I am truly grateful for the awareness and experiences that have led me to where I am today.

KI Lifestyle Solutions has programs and classes that delve further into identifying these key traits. Together, we can uncover the unknowns that can transcend you to a place of living the magic of your life.

Deepening Your Intuition: Uncovering Our Ego Character

carell@kilifestyle.ca (Carell Mehl) — Sat, 10 Jul 2021 06:10:32 GMT

As Healers and Coaches, every day we become more aware of our abilities and our intuition. Indeed, as we gain confidence, listening to our intuition becomes easier. Why, then, is it so hard to trust what our intuition is telling us? What prevents us from listening to that wisdom inside of us? In this five part series, we will uncover underlying challenges that arise when we deepen our intuition and further reveal our ego character.

Our ego character is our subconscious coping mechanism for surviving on this planet. It aids us during difficult times by creating a safe place for us to exist on this earth plain. In this process, we quickly learn how to interact so that we will survive. However, we have free will and can choose to be more loving, live in the light and heal ourselves. We can then move beyond the karmic stories we have carried through generations in our lineages and from our ancestors. When we fully understand the security of our ego character, we can transcend or transform the ongoing issues we have created. The key to uncovering how we have unconsciously learned to interact with energy(s) is to first contemplate our energetic defenses.

Energetic Defenses are subconsciously created to help us feel better during significant events or traumatic situations. They operate from the shadow and are triggered by underlying fear, thus blocking true feelings and light energy (s). Over time, we learn that these tactics work well to protect our innate essence or being. We then start to accumulate this energy and hold it physically in our bodies, creating a type of energetic armor or structure. Wilhelm Reich discovered the theory that this armor can also be described as a body character structure. Reich was a body psychotherapist and determined that the people he treated could be fitted into five major categories. He noted that these people had similar basic dynamics from childhood experiences that could have been very traumatic. These traumas tended to not only block their feelings, but their flow of energy as well. Once learned, a person will repeat these patterns to protect themselves.

A deeper understanding of our ego character and energetic defenses are contributing factors in the five body type structures. We typically encompass two body types and operate from both. We can bridge the remaining three by embracing the light and rejecting the shadow (dark side) of these characteristics. You may recognize one or more in yourself based on some traits from your physical stance or personality. I have taken three main traits for each body type that explains how you hold your presenting energy defense.

Schizoid

Presenting complaint, fear and anxiety.
Do you feel like you are split off from life?
Are you hyperactive or ungrounded?

Masochist

Do you have a need to be independent?
Head is forward and build is heavy.
Body tension is compressed and hard.

Psychopath

Do you feel you demand the right to be supported and encouraged?
Inflated chest – Top heavy.
Do you dictate to others?

Rigid

Strong will and very heady, think a lot.
Hyperactive and high energy.
Very Athletic and proportioned body.

Oral

Do you have abandonment issues?
Body tension – Flaccid, smooth muscles.
Do you feel the need to mother others?

KI Lifestyle Solutions offers classes and programs that can provide ways for you to learn, process, and heal. You will gain a deeper understanding not only of yourself but also those around you and you will be able to hold space in a more compassionate and assertive manner. This extends to your personal and professional relationships.

Recycling Through Your Chakras

carell@kilifestyle.ca (Carell Mehl) — Fri, 25 Jun 2021 02:59:19 GMT

A Tool For Your Intuitive Development

The ego (sense of self), is developed or formed throughout our childhood. It is based on our programming or life experiences and becomes our character or masked self. Its story shapes who we will become and is generally there to help and protect us. If part of our story contains issues or traumas that remain unresolved though, the ego can create a negative and repetitive pattern. We will need to resolve these issues or traumas to move forward both personally and professionally. This can be achieved through our unique ability to evolve, create and regenerate. We can learn to tap into an endless supply of knowledge and wisdom, from an energy perspective. This is particularly important for Healers, Coaches or Energy Workers as we will be challenged with not only our own personal issues, but also those of the clients.

So, how can we successfully unravel the accumulated energy that may be limiting us? One very simple way is to gain a better understanding of our Chakras. “There are seven main Chakras that start at the root (or base of our spine) and extend to the crown of our heads”. Our Chakras are recycled every seven years, beginning on our 14th birthday. This is when both the development of the seventh Chakra (the crown) begins, as well as the recycling of the Root Chakra. The Root Chakra is about survival, how we connect in our everyday life and how we perceive the world around us. Cyndi Dale’s book Advanced Chakra Healing further discusses each of the 12 Chakra Systems and the four Energy Pathways. It also explores how humans are connected in the quantum field. This is a great tool for Energy Workers or anyone working with clients as it provides some strategic ways in which to work within our energy fields.

As we progress, we can learn more about the “elemental pathway” to gain an understanding of connectedness on the physical plane. We can begin to recognize ingrained patterns that may be keeping us stuck in a limiting belief. If there is disharmony, our training and intuition will enable us to identify and eliminate what is blocking or creating this disharmony. If we choose to ignore our awareness and intuition rather than expanding it, there will be a repetition of the same patterns from seven years prior. This is why we need a reminder from our Chakras.

Identify Energy Depleting Clients & Learn How To Let It Go

Fri, 11 Jun 2021 18:16:35 GMT

The desire to help others resolve their emotional issues is inherent in most coaches and healers. It requires commitment and accountability to ensure the success of the healing process. Sometimes though, success is hindered by compatibility issues or a client’s lack of commitment. This can negatively impact the relationship and deplete your energy field. It can also alter your ability to help these types of clients as they tend to take more from you then you are able to give. This is particularly difficult for empathic coaches and healers. Thus, it is important to learn how to identify energy depleting clients and then how to let it go.

Compatibility in a healing journey is necessary and not all healers are right for each client. It is important to recognize if it is the right fit. If you are unable to help certain clients, do not blame or judge yourself. Your ego will naturally be wounded and self doubt will creep in. You may feel that you have failed. You must remember that you cannot take it personally. It is not a criticism against you and has nothing to do with your abilities. It has everything to do with protecting your energy field and helping your client. Indeed, sometimes the best way to help is by referring them to another healer.

If the client is not committed to the healing journey, you cannot force them to comply. You will be able to recognize this type of client if, after three or four sessions, there is no change. The client will continue to have the same issues and you will continue to offer the same advice. You will begin to feel like a broken record. This is because the client has not transformed or there is evidence that they are not doing any of the follow-up work. They will be unable to process and embody what you are telling them because they either do not or cannot help themselves. This will definitely impact your energy and you may feel drained or exhausted after each session.

So, now that you are able to identify energy depleting clients, how do you just let it go?

Perhaps the largest obstacle to overcome is silencing the ego. The ego is responsible for all of the fear and doubt surrounding your decisions. These fears can include: fear of scarcity (loss of income) and fear of perception (what others will think). You will need to clear the energy in your body to alleviate these fears. To clear the energy, you must first detach. To detach, you need to be aware of the energy and set an intention to clear it. This can be achieved by using breath work, meditation and walking in nature. You can also combine the intent to move energy out while engaging in any type of body movement such as dance, jogging or other physical activity. Remember that your energy is far more important than money.

Once you have cleared your energy, it is important to envision your ideal client. This client would embody your vision and respect your boundaries. You can create an assessment form that asks specific questions to determine whether new clients will meet your criteria. This will allow you to decline the clients that do not share your views. In being choosy, you are saving yourself a lot of time and energy loss. Finally, you will be able to hear your innate self more clearly which will tell you exactly what you need. This will allow you to release any doubts and you will realize that you are important enough. In following these steps, you can create a strong network and community.

If you are experiencing any of these issues, Ki Lifestyle Solutions offers many services that could be beneficial. You can email us at carell@kilifestyle.ca or via our website at kilifestyle.ca/contact, if you have any questions or require further information. Inspire, Heal, Grow! Namaste!

How Hearing Your Intuition Can Help You Maintain Resilience

Sat, 29 May 2021 00:22:23 GMT

In our current situation of Covid-19, trusting your intuition can be daunting and frightening. This can impact our resilience as we are no longer in control. As a coach or healer, it can be difficult to hear your intuition and maintain resilience when you are being bombarded with negative energy. It is natural to mistrust or doubt your abilities. Even though these feelings are normal, they can lead to a lack of confidence in your personal and professional life. Thus, there needs to be a change. The first step is to look inward and ask yourself “am I happy”? If the answer is no, you will need to determine what issues are hindering your progress and resolve them. Accepting responsibility rather than placing blame on others will ultimately restore balance and increase your resilience. So, how do you acknowledge and release that which is inhibiting you?

We can acknowledge that the pandemic has impacted and altered many people’s lives. It is fair to admit that you are no longer the same. Necessity has forced many of us to change our lifestyle, habits and way of thinking. There is a tendency to take things for granted and to reject consideration and humbleness. It is easy to become mired in the depressing thought that nothing will ever change and we will never be happy or free again. The simple truth is that you either possess or are surrounded by everything you need to restore your happiness. Each day starts fresh and with a blank slate. How you choose to fill that slate depends entirely upon you.

When you are feeling powerless and out of control, ask yourself “am I safe”? If the answer is yes, then try to determine why you are feeling this way. Isolate the issue and listen to your inner voice. It has all of the answers that are right for you. It will also lead you to being more aware, and awareness can lead to solutions. Once you make the necessary changes, your intuition will be louder. You will bounce back stronger than ever. This will create more positive energy that will flow throughout your personal and professional life.

How Judgment Impedes Neutrality

Fri, 14 May 2021 17:24:39 GMT

One of the most important skills a healer or coach can possess is that of neutrality. Neutrality relies on balance and it cannot be achieved if there is judgment present. Judgment occurs when you have not removed your sense of self from the equation. You cannot serve your client while holding judgment as it clouds your ability to offer compassion. It prevents you from recognizing your client’s emotions and feelings which impedes the healing process. So, what is neutrality and how can you obtain it?

What is neutrality? Neutrality is the zone of nothingness. It is the middle of balance. It is free of judgment and full of compassion. It is the ability to focus completely on a client’s emotions and feelings whilst not engaging with your own. When you are able to release your judgments and obtain neutrality, you will truly meet your client’s needs.

How can you obtain neutrality? Take a deep breath and get grounded (move energy down below the navel). Acknowledge that your judgment is preventing you from reaching a state of neutrality. You need to identify the prevalent emotions or feelings and resolve them. This can be accomplished by surrounding yourself with nature and meditating. Focus on feeling the healing energy while you release the emotions that are hindering you. You can also try tying your feeler fibers (long arms and fingers stretched out in front of you) and imagine that you are wrapping them around you and then tying them off. This will keep you out of someone else’s energy field. This is very important for the empathic healer or coach. Recognize that you can always take time out in the moment and then begin again. If this is a bigger challenge than you may have to reschedule and address this concern with another therapist.

Your intuition will be affected by these energy challenges if you do not place awareness of what our energetic defenses are trying to convey. You will gain more confidence in your practice once you have a clear channel to interpret the information.

Intuition, Confidence & Trust Through Community

Fri, 23 Apr 2021 20:02:17 GMT

Healers have an inherent desire to help and be of service to others. They commit to intensive courses and years of practice to master their craft. They learn the importance of maintaining an open heart and reacting to the emotions that arise in energy work without judgment. They also learn to hold the space with neutrality. This can only be achieved by trusting their intuition as they must allow, release and relay messages they receive with guidance only. This is perhaps the most important aspect to learn.

Intuition is that voice in our head that warns us of danger or assures us that the decisions we are making are safe. As these decisions are not factually based, it is easy to dismiss them as fanciful or inaccurate. Indeed learning to trust your intuition is challenging for many Healers, as it is one of the more difficult aspects of their responsibilities. It is, however, one of the most important for it truly is one of their greatest assets.

If a Healer is having difficulty trusting their intuition, it typically stems from limiting thoughts and beliefs. These are patterns that hold you in a negative, repetitive cycle and thus need to be removed. It is by removing these mental obstacles that you will slowly begin to trust your intuition. Eventually, it will become as natural and normal as breathing and you will be able to fully trust in the Divine to be your guide.

As many Healers have experienced these issues throughout their careers, a great way of dealing with them is by joining a Community. The common values and goals shared within a Community are important measures for any Healer. The support and understanding that a Community offers is invaluable. It should be like your soul family; like-minded folks that appreciate and support you in all of your endeavors. The community that I created is our Shamanic Reiki community. This Community will help heal the wounds from this life or other lifetimes, if we allow ourselves to be vulnerable and hear our inner voice of wisdom and knowledge.

Practitioners, Healers or anyone working within the energy healing field must also initiate self care, while holding space for others. Part of that self care is belonging to a community that understands the challenges and experiences you encounter as you heal and grow within yourself. Every time you engage in a session or perform a healing piece for yourself, there is an evolution of change happening. It all starts with you: “From within, so without”! In groups or communities, we can then be part of the web of life that keeps us connected and healthy. If you are new to Healing or have been a practitioner for years, becoming a member of the Reiki Community only serves to enhance your skills and benefit your clients. Together we can make an impact on this planet!

The Journey to Self-Love!

carell@kilifestyle.ca (Carell Mehl) — Sun, 14 Feb 2021 22:15:26 GMT

The journey to loving yourself is a constant balance of awareness, observation and correction. These are 3 of the Biggest Mistakes one should be aware of so they can modify their behavior and increase their chance of success:

Measuring your success on the values of others and not your own.
Not allowing yourself to experience where you are in the moment.
Not trusting your own truth. What is the bottom line and what are your boundaries?

“ Be yourself; everyone else is already taken .”

― Oscar Wilde

There is a prevailing misconception that if you attend to your mental, physical and spiritual needs first (or self-love), then that somehow equates to being selfish. This is misguided, for you cannot help yourself or others if you are not your authentic self. Indeed you cannot be your authentic self if you do not love yourself. This is why self-love needs to be a priority. If you are experiencing difficulty with attaining self-love, there could be reasons which are unclear to you at present. Perhaps there are some buried or forgotten emotions that are responsible for not allowing you to reach your full potential on your journey towards truly loving yourself.

If you cannot believe in yourself or feel negative emotions when you look in the mirror and say “I love you”, then there may be an emotion that needs to be heard, felt, understood, realized or conveyed to your conscious self and your body. Over time, this builds up and there can also be remnants from other lifetimes or experiences brought into your current life.

So, how can you learn to love yourself? A very important place to start is to stop the negative thinking and dialogue that take away from your happiness. Whenever you feel yourself give into these detrimental traits, turn it around. Literally turn your negative thoughts into positive thoughts. You can start by saying a positive mantra in the morning before you start your day. This can include; “Today will be great because…” or “Today I am looking forward to…”. It will subtly change your inner dialogue and promote positive thinking.

It takes practice and affirmations are a huge way to start to hear positive vibration emotions versus negative vibration emotions. Negative or lower vibration emotions include feelings of fear, anger, shame or frustration. Positive or higher vibration emotions include happiness, joy, excitement or peace. The only way to enact positive change is from within. We can change our realities very quickly and easily by moving to a place of neutrality and then working towards the higher vibration emotions.

“ Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.”

― Martin Luther King Jr., A Testament of Hope: The Essential Writings and Speeches

These few small steps will assist you on your quest to self-love. There will always be things in your life that you cannot control but you can actively choose to pursue that which will bring you the greatest amount of joy. If you have challenges, then energy work is key to unlocking blockages to your progress that you may be unaware of. The Akashic record is one way to explore what is impeding your progress and why, on a conscious or physical level. A trained energy practitioner can assist you in accessing your Akashic Record. You can learn these skills as well!

Energy body treatments like massage, raindrop therapy, hot stone, chiropractic, rolfing, reiki and shamanic sessions are also a viable alternative. Remember, we are all energy and there are many ways to work within the energy field. Even our chakras can help determine what has been or what remains that you are still here to learn. Every birthday after the age of 14, you start to recycle through 1 to 7 chakras. As an example, age 14, it would be the root, and then at 15 it would be the sacrum, and at age 16 the solar plexus and so on. I look back at my teen-age years and whoa that was an interesting time of learning and experiences. These were all charted out for me to learn and grow from and I am still learning and growing. I balance my inner wheel each day through meditation and self healing.

Ki Lifestyle Solutions offers many services, including Akashic Record Work, Reiki and Shamanic Energy Work.

Inspire, Heal, Grow! Namaste!

Our next 14 day challenge, beginning on February 15, 2021,will help us to recognize our triggers by exposing what is still there, what emotion is holding us back and how we can improve simply by choosing to do so. Use this challenge as a measure to show you where your attention should be in order to transform.

Renew, Review, Revisit: Tools For Self Love

Mon, 01 Feb 2021 02:29:03 GMT

The astrological forecast for February promises many special occurrences with the planets. The planet Mercury, which is responsible for communication in all aspects, is in retrograde from January 30 – February 21, 2021. Although it is a great time to try something new either personally or professionally, due to the retrograde, it is important to remain flexible, patient and understanding. It is a time to acquire a slower approach.

On February 9, 2021, Saturn turns Sextile into Chiron, which brings positive energy and change. The energy will produce feelings of competence, effectiveness and security. Acting upon this energy may indeed bring success, but remember to tread lightly as we are still in the retrograde. This means to continue to approach situations with a more relaxed and easy going energy.

The New Moon in the sign of Aquarius occurs on February 11. The Sun, Mercury, Venus, Jupiter and Saturn will all be present, which is uncommon. This will prompt us to make a clean break or a fresh start. Although this will awaken feelings of friendship, vision and a need for more objectivity in our lives, turbulence is to be expected. If you allow the flexibility and ease to seep into your system, however, this will soon pass.

This more relaxed form of energy from the planets, if embraced, transfers to self love. Without all of the negative stress, it is easier to acknowledge and act upon what you truly need. As the day of love or Valentine’s Day approaches, it is important to remember that self love is as essential as romantic love. Simply slowing down and doing things to rejuvenate your body and mind are in keeping with the astrological forecast for this month. It doesn’t matter if you are in a relationship or are on your own, this loving energy is inclusive to all.

You may be wondering what you can do for self love? It can be as simple as setting time aside to read, take a bath or take a walk. It really is about whatever brings you joy. Alternatively, you could meditate or diffuse some essential oils. Essential oils that are conducive to rejuvenation are: Ylang, Ylnag, whose exotic scent is believed to lower inhibitions, Ginger, which helps to build courage and confidence, Rose, which creates a calming and relaxed environment and Neroli , which can help calm anxiety and nerves.

Another positive way to unleash Universal Love Energy is through Reiki. Reiki’s healing energy is both abundant and endless and can alleviate pain or just move you to a different emotion. If you can’t feel the love, then moving from worry to doubt or impatience is two steps higher in vibration than worry. Work yourself up to feeling joy and love. This is better than moving down the vibration scale to anger and jealousy. It can help the body heal by calming the nervous system. Carell, the owner of Ki Lifestyle Solutions, uses Reiki self-healing for at least 30 – 45 minutes every day. It has helped her to heal on many levels.

If you require any further information or clarification, or would like to set up a Reiki session, please contact Ki Lifestyle Solutions. You can contact Carell directly via email at carell@kilifestyle.ca or via our website at kilifestyle.ca/contact. We are happy to answer any questions you may have. Inspire, Heal, Grow! Namaste!

Please also note that we are conducting a two week challenge from February 1 – 15, 2021 to focus on self love. We are asking you to do one thing every day that is just for you. At the end of the month, one lucky winner will receive a gift card that is locally sourced. Please email or submit a video to Ki Lifestyle Solutions to cheri@kilifestyle.ca detailing what you did for yourself and how successful or unsuccessful you were and why. You can also email Cheri for further information about the challenge. Your email or video will remain anonymous and no personal information will be shared. All of us at Ki Lifestyle Solutions, Carell, Cheri and my-self will also be participating in the challenge. We will be doing a live feed on Facebook on February 15, 2021 at 10:00 a.m. MST to discuss what each of us chose and how successful or unsuccessful we were. Please join us to see what happened.

Totem Spirit Animals and How To Find Yours!

carell@kilifestyle.ca (Carell Mehl) — Wed, 13 Jan 2021 20:33:36 GMT

A Totem is “any natural object, being or animal to whose phenomena or energy we feel connected to in our lives” (Ted Andrews, Animal Speak). Totem Animal Spirits help us to connect within ourselves and to balance our inner medicine wheel. The aspects of our inner medicine wheel are the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual parts of us. This provides a way for humans to operate within the animal spirit realm to learn, heal and grow on this magical journey of life. As everything is connected, the animal world is present in both the physical and the spirit realms. This helps humans bring an understanding and knowledge of the constant of change, evolution and balance. The Totem Animals behaviours, movements and patterns offer us an opportunity to connect, understand and impart many aspects of nature into our everyday lives.

So, how do we discover what our Totem Animal is? The process of finding one's Totem Animal or Power Animal begins with attaining an altered state. This is achieved by using the sacred drum which enables us to reach a meditative or altered state. Once that has been accomplished, we can experience a process of shamanic journeying to connect and find the animal spirit or spirits that are specific to you personally. Your Totem Animal can be mythical, extinct, reptile or insect. The number of animals you have is not limited but there is one that we call a power animal which is very much with you your whole life. We refer to this power animal as your center animal on your medicine wheel. You may uncover other animal spirits that come in at different times or are part of your own Totem Animal medicine wheel. You are then able to draw upon the strengths of different animal spirits at different times in your life, depending on the need. These are different energetics or energies that can help us grow and navigate through any challenges in life.

If you are interested in discovering what your Totem Animal or Animals are, or if you require further information, please contact Ki Lifestyle Solutions. You can contact Carell directly via email at carell@kilifestyle.ca or via our website at kilifestyle.ca/contact. We are happy to answer any questions you may have. Inspire, Heal, Grow! Namaste!

Reclaiming Freedom & Control

Wed, 23 Dec 2020 21:49:02 GMT

This past year has been difficult. There were a lot of restrictions placed upon us that colored how we think and feel. There is a prevailing sense of loss especially in regards to decision making in our lives. The truth is that the only aspect of your life that you can control is your own “self”. So, with that in mind, let’s look towards 2021 and focus on regaining control over your thoughts, actions and emotions. There is a new and vibrant energy coming in 2021 that will promote creativity, abundance and new possibilities.

This energy is discussed in this week’s Vlog and Carell stresses that 2021 will be a time of opportunity. The opportunities and abundance are contingent upon releasing the negative and old way of thinking and being. You may not know how to do this, but an important first step is to experience the emotion deeply, live through it and then release it. Feelings like hopelessness, depression, hatred and anger are low vibrating energies that do not serve your well being. So, release them. Forgive yourself, if needed, forget about the past, or at least put it in a place that you can live with and progress.

Once dealt with, you can move on to a place of neutrality. It is important to get to this place as the next step is higher vibrating emotions such as love, happiness, kindness, acceptance and positivity. Once positivity has become an integral part of your dynamic, you will be able to see all of the abundance surrounding you and truly begin to heal. You will be more successful than you thought possible, although it is important to recognize that success and abundance are not always financially based. It is more about your “self”, for you become successful by becoming free of the negativity.

A great way to gain control over your “self” is to improve your immunity. A healthy body allows you to then focus on your mental health. You can improve your immunity by eating healthy foods, taking vitamins, drinking more clean water, increasing physical activity and allowing your body to rest. You can improve your mental health by meditating, releasing thoughts or emotions that are of no value to you, getting a healing or looking into your Akashic records. These records are your past lives, and if there was a trauma that was not healed, it can be brought forth into this lifetime. Likewise, a lifetime with knowledge, beauty and wisdom can be realized and accessed as well to improve this lifetime.

Ki Lifestyle Solutions offers all of these services virtually and we can assist with providing strategies to attaining a more healthy body and mind. You can contact Carell directly via email at carell@kilifestyle.ca or via our website at kilifestyle.ca/contact for further information or to answer any questions you may have. Inspire, Heal, Grow! Namaste!

Embracing A Simpler Time This Christmas

Tue, 08 Dec 2020 23:17:29 GMT

The Holiday Season is upon us and due to the unpredictable nature of COVID-19, many of us are wondering how that will affect the Holiday’s. If the restrictions are still in place, that can mean a completely different Christmas than our past experiences. Although it will be altered, it can still be magical. Perhaps it will be like Christmas long ago, less extravagant but perfect in its simplicity. Regardless of whether you live alone or with your family, there are many things you can do to make this Holiday Season memorable and enjoyable. A few of these ways are discussed below.

One way to create a more festive and merry ambiance is to decorate your house. It is a simple way to lift your spirits. You can diffuse some Essential Oils to complement your décor and to help alleviate stress, anxiety or to elevate your mood. Essential oils like Frankincense and Myrrh help prevent sickness, anxiety and stress. Pine not only smells like a Christmas tree, but also helps with respiratory problems, stress reduction and pain relief. Cinnamon not only gives your house a warm and welcoming scent, but is also a great anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and anti-bacterial agent. There are many more Essential Oils that have great healing qualities that you can also choose from.

Another delicious way to spend time is to do some holiday baking. There is something almost magical about it, as many of us have fond memories of baking with our parents or grandparents. Baking from scratch can also be cathartic and a great stress reliever. It can be a very calming process as you are focusing solely on the recipe and decorating. It is also something you can give as a gift or keep to enjoy.

If you are unable to host Christmas dinner due to the current restrictions, there are still options for spending time together. The most obvious is virtually. Thankfully technology has provided a viable outlet to help us connect and visually see our friends and family members this Christmas. You are able to share gift opening, dinner, drinks or even play a board game. It is the next best thing to being together. Another option, if you live close to your friends or family is to get together outdoors. You could meet in a park, go ice skating, tobogganing or have a fire in your yard. It is a great way to get back to basics and see your loved ones at the same time.

Finally, let’s talk about self care. It is easy to worry about everyone else this time of year, however, you still need to focus on yourself. Take some time to do your nails, your hair, your make up or a craft. There are many little things you can do from the comfort of your home. If you have been feeling depressed or anxious, self care is vitally important right now.

It is easy to give into the negativity that is permeating our society right now. There are so many things that have been taken from us. It is equally as easy to turn it into positivity though, with a little creativity. This blog has listed a few things you can do to enhance your Christmas season. We truly are blessed and that should be celebrated.

If you are feeling your energy waning, Ki Lifestyle Solutions offers Reiki and healings virtually. You can email us at carell@kilifestyle.ca or via our website at kilifestyle.ca/contact , if you have any further questions or are interested in any of our other services. Inspire, Heal, Grow! Namaste and Merry Christmas!

Transformation & Personal Responsibility

Mon, 16 Nov 2020 20:49:15 GMT

There have been a lot of restrictions placed upon us in recent months which have created uncertainty in many of our professional and personal lives. Such stressors can generate feelings of unhappiness, resentment and fear. These feelings can impact our energy to make it negative and heavy. This negativity can be turned towards others as it is often easier than dealing with the true issues. To deal with these issues requires personal responsibility. Ask yourself: Am I part of the problem or the solution? If you are part of the problem, you need to stop blaming and start listening. Listening requires you to reflect on the issues, thoughts or actions that are holding you captive in the negative cycle. This can be in any area of your life where things are not going as expected. If you do not accept personal responsibility, you cannot change, heal or grow.

As discussed in this week’s Vlog, there is a more relaxed and healing type of energy entering our sphere this week from the New Moon. It will bring a renewed sense of calm that can combat the negative cycle and bring about change. This month’s totem animal, the snake, is all about change and transformation. Just as the snake sheds his old skin for new, so too can we shed the negative energy and embrace the forward momentum that will bring. Carell also did a tarot card reading and one of the cards she pulled was the spiral. It is shaped like a coiled serpent and has been used since ancient times as a tool for growth and transformation. The essence of this card and the similarity to the snake sign is a renewal of self.

A big part of healing, changing or growing is self care. Our definition of self care is honoring your own inner beauty. It is taking time for yourself, honoring yourself, your energy, what you know, sense, and feel. You may feel scared and vulnerable but that is a normal reaction to change. Have faith and trust that if you take the time, you will feel better in the future. If you continue to ask for help and clarity, it will be revealed. You have to be open to hear the answer.

You may be thinking, how can I engage in self care with all of the restrictions? The answer may be simpler than you think. You can create a space in your home that is solely for you. You can practice meditation, clear the energy in your house, take an online Reiki class or have an online healing. Ki Lifestyle Solutions Inc. offers all of these virtually and much more. If you would like to set up an online appointment or if you need further information, please contact us. Namaste!

Intuition & Spirits

Tue, 27 Oct 2020 00:03:18 GMT

At some point in our lives, we have wondered about the possibility of Spirits. Are they real? Do they exist? Does that other reality really exist? If I told you the answer is yes, would you believe me? As Halloween approaches, the possibility of experiencing paranormal activity increases as the veil between the Spirit realm and our own becomes thinner and thinner. Many of us seek physical truth and hope to experience a supernatural occurrence to provide answers to these questions. It is difficult to accept things that we cannot explain, things that we cannot logically deduce. The simple truth is that there is no logical answer. You must trust your intuition.

Intuition can be very powerful. If you trust your intuition, then you recognize it exists without knowing how it exists. This is true of Spirits as well. The connection between the two, as discussed in this week’s Vlog, cannot be actualized if there are blockages, limiting beliefs or strongholds of thought. You must open your mind to the possibility and trust that your intuition is accurate when you see, hear or feel something unusual. If you feel it intuitively, trust in it intuitively!

Have you ever seen or heard something that wasn’t really there? Have you become overwhelmed by an emotion or sensation that you cannot explain? Did you trust your intuition or dismiss it? We tend to dissuade ourselves from believing simply because there is no logical pattern or reason for it to be occurring. We try to infer why we are feeling a certain way simply because there is no rational explanation. To truly see or hear, we have to listen.

If you are experiencing unusual things, you might be wondering why this is happening. There are many reasons why energy remains either in a home or attached to an individual. Energy can become stuck or stagnant. There can be lingering energy from others who have lived in your home before you. If the home has not been cleared, this energy can remain. This is especially true if there was a trauma in another lifetime, for it can come through to this lifetime. Energy also attaches to people, so visitors or other family members can unknowingly bring it into your home where it can remain until it is removed. How can you remove or reduce energy or activity in your home?

If you are experiencing paranormal activity or an increase in energy in your home, listen to your intuition. It is trying to tell you something. If you are frightened, you can tell the Spirit to leave. You can have your space blessed, cleared and cleansed. You can have a past life reading to see if it is something you have brought with you from another lifetime, or you can have a healing done. Ki Lifestyles Solutions Inc. can assist you in any or all of these services. You can contact us to book an appointment or to receive further information. Enjoy the spookiness that only Halloween can bring and stay safe. Namaste!

Rites of Passage: Grandmother Honouring Ceremony

Sun, 04 Oct 2020 17:05:32 GMT

Rites of Passage Ceremonies play an important role in our culture and society as they serve to record a person’s transition into another phase in their life. This can include becoming a man or woman, becoming a new mom or becoming a grandmother or grandfather. The community unites to recognize and honor the person during these ceremonies. This week’s blog encompasses the Grandmother Honoring Ceremony.

The transition into a grandmother role, as with any new experience, can be both exciting and daunting. You are leaving behind youth and entering into the new role of elder. What a grandmother brings into this new role though, is the wisdom and experiences acquired throughout a lifetime. These traits will serve to aid in discovering who you are in a completely different capacity. You do not need to be a physical grandmother to participate in this type of ceremony. Hence, The Grandmother Honoring Ceremony provides a chance to acknowledge and celebrate a life well lived.

The Grandmother Honoring Ceremony also provides a forum where family members, close friends and the community can congregate and discuss how the grandmother figure has impacted their lives. It is like a funeral in reverse and the grandmother is the guest of honor. She gets to hear just how deep of an impact she has had on other people’s lives. It is very important to keep your spirit healthy so that you might age with vitality. One of the ways to enhance that is through this type of ceremony.

Long Distance & Virtual Energy Healing Sessions

carell@kilifestyle.ca (Carell Mehl) — Tue, 01 Sep 2020 20:27:14 GMT

There are many practitioners who are now offering long distance and virtual healing sessions. I have been asked about the effectiveness of this application and have noticed that since last year, there has been more willingness and acceptance than ever, especially during this pandemic. What this tells me is that folks are awakening and becoming more aware than ever before. Although there are benefits for in person care, when this option is not feasible (due to Covid-19) , the online approach can help you to address your self-care from an energy perspective.

Why is this a viable tool? It gives you additional choices that can be done from the comfort of your own space . Virtual healing is great for anyone who can’t travel, is in isolation, is in hospital or hospice or who lives in remote areas. I find that people are even more receptive to receive Reiki or shamanic healing energy when offered this option. There are many different types of energies and energy pathways which give access to channeling and working with transforming energy. This can profoundly change all aspects of self.

The first place we need to look at is our energy field and how that operates. The Chakra system is truly something everyone should learn and be aware of. I teach this extensively in my Shamanic/Reiki and Reiki clasess. Did you know that your chakras go through a development? And that on every birthday, once you turn 14 years of age, you recycle through the first 7 chakras of that system! This is where we start to see the repetitive patterns that you came here to learn about and heal. I have spent years studying this and trying to understand different ways of shifting, clearing and transforming energy for healing. I have worked extensively on myself, students and many clients to better understand this amazing phenomenon.

How are we all connected as one? How does that work? You can watch this youtube channel : “The Truth of Life (How Everything is ALL connected and ONE)” which offers a wonderful explanation. This is also acknowledged in the scientific world which can be measured through Schumann's resonance . If you Google this, it will show you many charts and in August 2020, there are some big energies updating our awareness. This resonance is reflected in our astrological charts and connection with different energies that affect our lives. As an example, look and reflect on the Full moon energy and how it affects people.

What is energy? One thing you need to know is that energy can’t be destroyed, it can only be transformed. When energy healing is administered it has a focus connected within the energy web we live in that some call the matrix. Dr. Joe DIspenza details this in, Dr. Joe Dispenza explaining Quantum Physics and how to Bend Reality. Once you start to learn to live in this 5D reality, you will see the amazing creations and healing that can occur. Reiki energy is simply Universal energy transported through this matrix. It is found not only in the past, but in the present and future as well. Once you have worked with this enough, you will eventually be able to heal yourself. What is so amazing about this time we live in, is that we can and will create a new reality.

Our Virtual Reiki shares and 5D healings, Integrated healing with Shamanism and Reiki prove this over and over again. Just click on the 5D healings and contact Carell for more information if you are struggling with imbalances in your physical, mental, emotional, spiritual and vitality or life force. You can choose from a one on one to a group healing.

I invite you to engage, learn and start to understand these systems of energy within ourselves and the planet we live on. It will open you up to a new reality that is awaiting you. Namaste!

Summer Vacation: Ways to Manage Your Inner Balance

carell@kilifestyle.ca (Carell Mehl) — Thu, 30 Jul 2020 20:05:00 GMT

Why go on vacation? Taking a break from all you do is not only a health benefit but also an opportunity to change your perspective and focus. Much like our bodies need rest, so too do our brains. Although it can be fun and exciting to go on vacation, there can also be some Challenges that may arise and it is important to have a plan in place to deal with these. For instance, you could be sharing a space with friends and family while on vacation. The question that naturally arises is: how are you going to care for your specific needs during this time? Food, sleep and quiet time may be your top priorities, however, you also need time to focus on your self healing. Accomplishing this requires a plan that enables you to rejuvenate yourself while also enjoying the flexibility to be with your family and friends.

Flexibility does not mean eliminating important parts of your lifestyle to “fit in” with everyone else’s plans but rather be willing to compromise. Express your needs and then care for them yourself. If you just started a new diet and you could be tempted with vacation style food, then perhaps you need to bring some of your own foods and be more flexible about sharing some of the other foods. Remember to acknowledge to yourself what your plan is and be sure to get right back to it when you return home.

My plan to maintain all of the great new positive habits I have formed throughout this year while on vacation, includes daily meditation, maintaining my diet and self healing. I don’t want to lose the momentum of all that I have accomplished, but I still want to have a relaxing holiday. I want to enjoy the company of family and friends but also take care of myself at the same time without judgement. It is important to remember that it is not selfish to be kind to yourself.

Meditating in a completely different environment is exciting as I will need to find a new spot and time to accomplish this every day. I have included intermittent fasting and eating my low carb diet in my plan because it makes me feel good and boosts my energy level. My meditation and Reiki self-healing is another part of my vacation plan as it will keep me in the energy of love and acceptance on my break. It may be a bit different than what I do at home but it will be perfect to maintain my zen! This is one of the reasons I love Reiki so much as it is with me wherever I go. Regardless of where I am or what I am doing, Reiki and the Buddhas are there to support me! Namaste!

Actualize Your Dreams

carell@kilifestyle.ca (Carell Mehl) — Fri, 03 Jul 2020 00:06:04 GMT

Well, July gets off to a great start with another intense bang of energy from the beginning of the penumbral Lunar eclipse that will pass in front of the constellation of Capricorn on July 4th, 2020. Ironically, it is Independence Day in the U.S. on this date and our Canada Day on July 1st. This is a time to remember our rights and freedoms and the opportunities we have. We live in a world of abundance, and now is the time to celebrate and create new systems that will benefit all life on earth. We must be sure to align ourselves with the new earth and I invite you to contemplate and meditate on what you can do to contribute to a new system (s). So, what will be in store for us since we are also in the new cycle of the Solar eclipse on June 21, 2020? If you missed reading our June blog, please go and catch up on this momumental time in history.

The penumbral Lunar eclipse will have a great effect on us. It will be an ending cycle and we will be working on healing the more personal and intimate parts of ourselves that may not have come into completion as of yet. This can uncover hidden family secrets, healing ancestral traumas and the emotional/mental patterns of unconscious burdens that affect our psyche and keep us stuck or held hostage. This is the one I continually work on for both myself and assist others.

A chaotic aspect of this ending cycle that will be reflective on the outcome, is of course, Mercury retrograde. And this is not only about electronics and travel plans not working well. It is also about having to redo, review, reestablish and go over anything that is not working out well, including relationships that need a re-visit.

All of this however, is dependent upon your natal chart (check out AstroLada). She has a unique site where you can check out your birth chart and what is coming up for you on a more personal level. She has great Youtube videos as well. Even if you don’t know much about Astrology, the impact can have a significant effect, like what we have experienced globally during this interesting time of 2020.

AND a big part of what we are talking about here, is getting out of the way of ourselves so we can actualize our dreams and desires. We can’t do that if we don't’ actively heal what no longer serves us. Are you tired chasing your tail and do you find that you keep repeating patterns you thought were done?

Have you been doing a lot of work on yourself and still feel like you have fallen back three steps after gaining five? The self talk becomes negative and another spiral of despair starts to emerge. It is not that you have no strength or willpower but, rather, you are actually stuck in the karmic patterns you came here to learn about controlling. Here are some thoughts to consider: are you attuned to Reiki? Are you working with energy and expanding your spirituality? Are you having to face big challenges or changes in your life? Reiki and any type of energy work or spiritual pathway does put you on a fasttrack, and it can be daunting if you do not have any mentoring or community to support you. I may have a solution that will create focus, clarity and healing on a level you didn’t think possible.

Setting your chakra seals is one way to go about this and also having a group 5D healing. Setting the seals was a brilliant read in the Advanced Book of Chakra Healing by Cyndi Dale and it is the best thing I have ever done for myself. The 5D group healing is a creation that was given to me from Spirit. If you can move with the quickend energy of the 5D seal setting it will be the ticket to move your vibration and destiny that much closer in your ascension process.

WOW! Empowering!

If you wish to have more information or you would like to have me facilitate that for you, kindly contact me at carell@kilifestyle.ca and we can discuss if this is right for you. This is not necessarily for everyone but if you have been dedicated to your healing and have a strong desire to be of service, then this could be what you have been looking for.

Astrology & Intuition

Mon, 01 Jun 2020 04:20:16 GMT

June promises to be an extraordinary month as the sky is full of energy. There are two Eclipses this month falling on June 5, 2020 (Lunar Eclipse) and June 21, 2020 (Solar Eclipse), which immediately follows the Summer Solstice. It is quite uncommon to experience both types of Eclipses in the same month. The Solar Eclipse will be a Full Moon and will have a “Ring of Fire” that will show up like a glow around a dark planet. It will be fiery and cold all at the same time. Just imagine the intensity!

There will be a strong libido with an extra spice for love during the Solar Eclipse. It is also not such a great time to go on adventures or take risks. All of this however, is dependent upon your natal chart. Even if you don’t know much about Astrology, the impact can still have an effect like what we have experienced globally during this interesting time of 2020. Awareness is key and knowledge is power. I follow Astrology quite closely as I find it enlightening. It is a measure for me on so many levels and I definitely have some favorites. I have been following both Western and Vedic Astrology and find that Vedic Astrology seems to be more in real alignment. This is especially apparent when I am checking in with my “Inner Wheel of Balance” for it gives me insight as to where my focus should be for the day, month or year.

I dove deeper into some inner work since the January 2019 Lunar Eclipse and am looking forward to furthering my work throughout this year. I found that the red blood moon had a huge impact for me last year. Relationships were a big part of that moon and I learned a great deal about self-love. I initiated healthy habits and nudged my intuition into embracing changes and I am so grateful. This experience allowed me to gain an understanding to be more present and creative. I feel that these steps did indeed aid me as I was able to navigate through this chaotic phase quite clearly and confidently. There are other factors that helped with this transformation and what I was able to create to help others too! I am grateful for all of the growth and healing of late and am loving the synchronicities and amazing awareness coming through from the universe.

Timing is everything. I believe that all things are delivered when you are ready. Your intuition will guide you. If, however, you are caught up in your emotions and analyzing everything, a lot does get missed. Chakras, energy pathways and aligning yourself with what is here and now is most rewarding. Blessings from Spirit allowed me to create a 5D healing that really puts the client in control. There are many other wonderful energies to work with that anyone can experience and learn. We are in a new age and have the ability to become our own teacher and master. Be in the moment today and see where your inner self or intuition leads you.

Spiritual Health

The spiritual aspect tends to be ignored as it feels more abstract and difficult to relate to than the physical. There is a strong correlation between both aspects however, as they rely on and affect each other. If we notice our physical side is lacking, it could be an important clue that we need to engage more of our spiritual side to feel better and experience joy. When we have that kind of connection within ourselves, we can nurture and soothe any of our needs and even heal ourselves. This is why we call this our inner wheel of balance for it can act as a compass to navigate why we are feeling the way we do through our experiences or in certain situations.

So, what can we do to keep this aspect healthy and what techniques can we incorporate into our everyday lives? Well, guess what is at the top of the list again? Mediation! Meditation can bring so many benefits to your life. It can provide calm, love, neutrality, healing and so much more. You can begin by taking a nature walk and hearing the wind in the trees, the animals, the birds and maybe even a river or lake. The gentle sounds of nature can allow you to focus on and truly hear your inner voice. Your inner voice will provide the answers you need. It is such a great and unique gift.

Over the years, I have cultivated this gift and have made meditation a priority. I practice meditation daily and have found that it sets me up for an amazing day of neutrality, creativity and compassion. It has also helped me to hone my skills as a practitioner and teacher. If you choose to include meditation into your life, it doesn’t mean that you have to become an enlightened yogi or monk living on a mountain in solitude. Indeed, it is merely a tool that can be applied to any important situation in your life. Have fun with this and enjoy what it brings to you.

I have listed below some tools and strategies that you can use to enhance your spiritual aspect:

Meditation
Ceremonial practices (this is as simple as smudging or lighting a candle)
Blend in and learn from nature
Find your tribe and community
Research and learn more about what spirituality means to you
Explore and learn about who you are as this magical character through retreats, seminars and workshops
Become your own master and teacher
Be of service (if this is a calling then look deeper, for there is more to learn about yourself)
Set your Chakra seals if you know you are on a path of service in relationship to your spiritual growth (more on this another time)
Compassion and care for your family members
Gratitude list (include this into your mediation)
Use your genius to hear from the conscious of all beings (how to do this another time)

This is a time of awakening and this Pandemic will teach us a greater understanding of what we are attached to, what our fears are and why we are feeling stress or anxiety. The biggest question however, is, what do I know to be true? With so many opinions bombarding us daily, how do we acknowledge what we know to be true? Even though you are the only one who can answer that question personally, nature is still the prevailing force. We should seek answers there and through books that speak of elders and their teachings for they are still close to nature and Mother Earth. They will speak of this time and about our awakening to our spirit.

Ki Lifestyle loves to support events, ceremonial event classes and bring communities together. We interact like a family. If you are ever curious about what is current or coming up, please contact me as we are always interested in new and exciting things to participate in.

Mental Health

This week we are discussing the mental aspect of self, our intellect and capacity to think and reason. It encompasses our thoughts, beliefs and values. Our thoughts or mind chatter is the inner conversation that is continuous and repetitive. It is one of the biggest problems right now as it can feed our fear and anxiety. Finding an inner balance or sense of neutrality can help us to relax and be present in the moment. This will benefit our relationships with family, peers, co-workers and communities. Searching for this inner balance leads us to our mind, which is where we revert to when we feel we “need to think” or figure out a problem.

When we are seeking inner balance, the ego (or what navigates our emotions) often dominates and promotes an emotional response based on our past experiences. This influences our ability to find solace in the present. We tend to remain connected to the ego which makes it difficult to separate ourselves from it, thus hindering our ability to identify when the ego has come into play. It is important to not lessen the necessity of the ego however, as it serves as a compass and steers us in the direction of what is happening to us emotionally.

What are some strategies you can utilize to cultivate inner balance? It is very important to get to know yourself inwardly. You need to stifle the mind chatter at times so that you can truly discover who you are and what you want. Only then can you decide on a course of action. Meditation allows you to explore your inner self. It is not necessary to meditate for very long, you can start out with 10 minutes. Eventually, you can work up to 30 minutes to an hour. It is an excellent way to quiet, for a time, the turbulent thoughts in your mind.

Yoga, hypnosis and massage are also excellent tools as they too quiet the ceaseless chatter. Spending time in nature, a Shamanic ceremony for example, is a fun and calming process. You can think in terms of what do I hear? What do I know in this moment? If this does not work for you, it can be something as simple as walking meditation. As you are walking, you can meditate by focusing on all of the beauty and sounds around you that can only be found in nature.

You may be wondering how and where you can implement these new strategies. It is important to start out slow, especially if you are new to this. Make an appointment with yourself and commit to this for 90 days. Take a trip out to the country or the mountains or a local park once a week or once a month. Eventually, you will develop a new habit that will begin to create the harmony and peace you are seeking.

Thursday, May the 7th, is a Full Moon. Full moon energy is fantastic for seeing what is ready to be birthed and changed. It is a time to release the old so that when the new moon comes, you are able to bring new ideas and creations to life, including reinventing yourself. The full moon is great for cleansing gemstones and anything that needs to bathe in the moonlight. The energy of the moon is feminine and moves with the feminine cycles. Remember, cleansing and clearing.

This Sunday, May the 10th, is Mother’s Day. This can be hard on us mentally, as we are unable to engage in our traditions due to the current situation. There are still many excellent ways however to treat mom this year. A few options are, working in the garden, flower delivery, brunch delivery, distant backyard meetings, an at home day spa or a video call. Happy Mother’s Day!

Physical Health

Our feature this week is the physical aspect of our inner wheel of knowledge. It is more tangible because we relate to it from our five senses of smell, sight, touch, hearing and taste. If we take it one step further and see what our intuition or our 6th sense offers in the magic of this physical world, we will begin to discern what is in our best interests.

During this amazing time of change, your intuition is your best and only ally. It should be trusted and utilized. My mission is to empower you to have complete control over your future and health including mind, body and spirit. The importance of taking this responsibility for yourself and what is good for your unique self, is why we, as humans, are in this particular time of truth and understanding.

How do we look at this and how do we start to take our power back? Trust in what you already know. The physical body is very intelligent and it can heal itself.

There are three questions I often get asked. I have listed them below as well as the answers to them.

Question 1: What strategies and tools help you to begin to hear that 3rd eye, the 6th chakra?

If the physical is struggling to heal or you have challenges in this area, the spirit part of you may be lacking. So take time to quiet the mind to meditate. This will not only help you recognize what is important and what you need to focus on, it will also help you answer any questions you have regarding what’s happening in your world. Do not blame others and do not rely on others to decide for you. This includes searching for answers outside of yourself. You already know the answer and you have the ability to discern this through introspection.

Addicted to tarot readers and cards? Yes, I too have been there, though it was many years ago. I now use the cards to confirm with myself that I hear my inner voice, my innate self. Plus, I love the pictures of Creation.

Another great tool to understand is the recycling of your chakras. Your chakras (1 – 7) recycle on your birthday. This starts at the root, at the age of 14. This is discussed in Cyndi Dale’s book “Advanced Chakra Healing”, a must read for anyone. This allows you to understand what issues may come up that you have not healed.

Question 2: How do we listen to our body and not the chatter in our mind?

Any triggers that come up in whatever form or emotion need to be addressed. You may not be connecting to your heart and therefore are not hearing what your body is trying to convey. The ego has taken over and pain tapes from the past (stories we refer to that keep us in pain, victimhood and disempowered) limiting beliefs and even traumas. This will hold you hostage in a void of fear and resentment. A way to climb out of this void is through a Ho’oponopono healing prayer or forgiveness prayer for meditation. It will begin to free those emotions which just need to be acknowledged and released. Another way to regain your power is through past life regression. Accessing the Akashic records will provide information about your powerful lifetimes that you can tap into and also let go of what no longer serves you. Sometimes there are deep rooted issues that may require the help of a professional or spiritual coach, teacher or practitioner, to assist you in releasing these emotions.

Question 3 : How do we know it is our innate self communicating and not the ego making it up?

You have to practice and work out your third eye just like anything else. You need to learn how it works within you. Everyone has one or more ways they sense, feel and know. You only need to find out what your way of working with this energy is. There is so much great information out there to assist you in this area. Dr. Joe Dispenza and Dr. Bruce Lipton (find their links to you tube) and Gregg Braedon have such great science backing this up. One simple thing I have my clients or students do is to acknowledge you hear that inner voice and then do some simple experiments. Purposefully defy what that inner voice is saying and see and be aware of the consequence of that decision. You will start to notice that this happens more often than not. Keep testing and comparing answers you may receive and then you will start to understand that unique communication you have with the universe. Be aware that the ego loves to make it easier for you to return to what you are familiar with. Resist and remember that this part of you is an adventure to discover. You are more connected than you think. Reiki is one tool that definitely can help enhance this ability.

Gardening is another excellent way to aid the physical and mental aspects. It is Herb Day on Saturday, May 2, 2020 and is a great time to learn about all the different types of herbs and their uses. We can use the energy of the herbs to help us heal and when used for medicinal purposes can sometimes give the body what it needs. Perhaps this is a great way to start to learn more about how to listen to your body and what is out of balance.

Here is a little ceremony you can do either inside or outside however, it is more preferable outside. Bring a journal, pen and something to sit on the ground with like a blanket or even your jacket. Go out in nature and find a tree that you can sit down on the ground against. Start with the East direction, face to the east and ask the ancestors or the energy of the East to be with you. Close your eyes and settle in to quiet the mind. Take three cleansing breaths and once you feel relaxed, ask “who am I and why am I here?” Do so in all the 4 directions E,W,S,N and write down the answers that come. Do not judge yourself nor think you have the wrong answer. Write down the first thing that comes to mind. Sit with the answer and also become aware of what is around you and what nature maybe saying as well. What kinds of animals do you see and notice the sun and the wind. Record all of that and then see what you sense and know from that direction. Once complete, thank the energy of those directions and or the ancestors. Then, at night, when going to sleep, set an intention to dream with and understand those answers. There may or may not be more to write the next day. It is okay if you don’t remember. Something may come through to you later on in the day or in the week, so just keep putting your focus to that experience of that ceremony.

This can be a very good beginning piece to start to get to know and work with your intuition. Enjoy! Namaste!

Emotional Healing During Covid 19

Disclaimer: I am not a doctor and I am not providing medical advice. If anyone feels they need help, please seek out a professional. These are tools and strategies that are useful in our Spiritual teachings of Shamanism and Rei-Shama-KI practices. These tools offer a more holistic approach for Lifestyle balance and for anyone seeking a more natural approach in our changing world.

Due to the fear and insecurity surrounding Covid-19, for the next five weeks we will be posting weekly blog articles. Each article will focus on one of the 5 aspects of self and give tools and strategies on how to recognize and balance each aspect. The 5 aspects of self include emotional, mental, spiritual, physical and KI or Chi. Each aspect affects the other, which is apparent when we feel or know there is something out of balance. This week, we will be discussing the emotional.

So, let’s take a brief look at that part of us that we can describe as our emotional. What that might look like for each person will be different; we will use as an example, the emotion of fear. The immediate response in how we react to “fear” may be one of protection. We want to protect ourselves, our family our job or our environment. As we are currently unable to control our environment, the fear continues to build. One way to slow things down and regain some of that control is through meditation.

Meditation has many benefits. It helps to relieve stress, control anxiety, enhance self awareness and promote emotional health. Through meditation, you can contemplate and reflect on issues that are bothering you. It can help you focus and relax, which can ease some of the restlessness and anxiety you may be feeling. For tips on how, when and where to meditate, please follow the link in this blog:

Meditation for Beginners!

Some other options that have helped myself and many of my clients, are meditative walks or simply sitting in nature. This solitary endeavor, much like meditation, allows you to contemplate your thoughts and help you to realize how these thoughts are affecting you emotionally. You can record your feelings in a journal or seek reflective conversation with a friend, spiritual teacher, coach or like minded group. Questions you can ask yourself for journalling or as a discussion are:

1. What is this fear doing to me and what is happening in my mind?

2. Am I thinking of this every single minute of the day?

3. Am I able to come up with a logical solution?

4. What can I actually control and what can I do about it?

I have found that by maintaining a daily appointment in my home to practice meditation and self healing with Reiki Energy has helped me to recognize my emotions and further trust my intuition. In so doing, I have learned that by surrendering in the moment, I can create a solution that calms the fear. My routine varies with either mantras or silence in my meditation spot. I have shared my short video of my meditation practice and spot that I have in my home. I hope this will help you to set up your own little oasis where you can find some comfort during this time.

Science is starting to recognize that we are more than matter and that we are connected to everything in this conscious and unconscious world. This has been an important message shared by many Doctors, spiritual Gurus and Quantum energy specialists who share their spiritual knowledge and wisdom for our modern world. Such figures as the Dali Lama, Sadhguru, Dr. Joe Dispenza, Dr. Bruce Lipton, Eckhart Tolle, Gregg Braden, Deepak Chopra share this view. Watch any one of these amazing humans and we will begin to understand.

It is also important to remember to be kind to yourself. Treat yourself with compassion as you are doing the best you can in an unusual situation. Set aside some time every day just for you. How you maintain your emotional well being really does depend on you. We have provided some tips that we hope are beneficial. Please check in next week as we will be discussing the physical aspect.

Helpful Tips On How To Keep Your Energy Flowing

As the world becomes increasingly concerned with the spread of the Coronavirus (COVID-19), it can be difficult to remain calm and clear in your intentions. There is a prevailing sense of fear and uncertainty, which can lead to panic and chaos. If you feel like fear is taking you down a path that you do not wish to be on, remember to stay grounded and pull your energy back to yourself. Clear your mind and meditate so that rational thought can replace negative stress. Drink plenty of water, reduce your sugar intake and get plenty of rest. Self care is essential.

It is important to recognize that group consciousness brought on through the news and social media can steer you in a different direction from where you wish to be. This will lead you down a highway with less intention as fear takes over. You may find yourself caught up in the frenzy and negative energy. You may find yourself stock piling just because others are caught up in it. Remember to stay calm and use your energy wisely.

When you think of how you disinfect your house during illness, you may be prone to using bleach based products. There are however, many alternate products that are equally as effective and much safer for you and your family. Hydrogen peroxide, natural oils like tea tree, thyme and oregano are all natural disinfectants as well as anti viral. Thieves essential oil is a combination of Clove, Lemon, Cinnamon, Eucalyptus and Rosemary that is a powerful cleansing agent. It also smells fantastic!

If you are beginning to feel ill, refer to the self care tips above. If you feel that you are in need of an extra boost however, please contact us for long distance healing. Not only is long distance healing effective, it also means that there is no travel or personal contact. This could work great if you are in a panic situation or are isolated. If the fear and uncertainty persist, we can work on that. We have many options available that will suit your needs.

Lastly, remember that the body is a miraculous machine that is capable of healing itself!

Fostering Change

Fri, 14 Feb 2020 03:52:36 GMT

When You Foster Change Within, You Make Coherent Change On The Planet

February is a time of transition as it follows a month of new beginnings and new perspectives. The transition of moving into a new month typically involves a period of change. Change can occur not only in our personal and professional lives but in nature as well. There is a sense of uncertainty involved with any form of change and this can create fear and anxiety. This can lead us to either ignore or resist change. It is important to remember that if we resist, it will persist.

If we choose instead to embrace rather than resist change, we can gain a new or different perspective. We can turn our fear and uncertainty into positivity which can then create a positive outcome. This can not only have a positive impact on us personally, but can also foster positive change in the world. In so doing, we can evolve and transcend.

What are some of the ways you can help with the transition of change? There is a process that we call a “letting go” of what no longer serves you. This can be done in a number of ways: meditation, self-healing with Reiki, Qi-gong, Yoga, group healing, walking in nature and a physical action of letting go. The idea is to transform that energy into a positive place of being present in the moment rather than focusing on patterns and beliefs of the past. Creating a focus on being present and moving ahead with new possibilities will allow manifestation of your dreams come into fruition.

When we know what doesn’t work, then it only makes sense to create something that can work in the moment we are in - NOW. The brain will continue in the past and reflect on the old patterns if the old wiring in the brain continues to be there. You can actually create new pathways in the brain to create positive new experiences that create more of the world you desire with abundance, health and beauty. It takes some dedicated time and desire but in no time at all like sixty days, you can make something a very beneficial habit that gives you a whole new world of joy, love and abundance .

Holidays and Self Care

Sun, 22 Dec 2019 18:30:53 GMT

The Christmas season is upon us. It is a time for being with family and friends, for appreciating all that we have and for exhibiting love and kindness. Although it can be a happy and magical time of year, it can also be stressful. We tend to expend our energy on hosting the perfect gathering, creating the perfect meal and finding the perfect gifts for our loved ones. In all of the hustle, we tend to forget about ourselves.

As we spend most of our time in our homes during the holidays, essential oils can aid in creating a more peaceful and relaxing environment. Marjoram, Ylang Ylang, Roman Chamomile, Hawaiian Sandalwood and Vanilla Bean promote relaxation, while Lavender, Bergamot, Jasmine, Basil, Lemon and Rose can spread happiness. Put some of these oils in a diffuser and better yet book -yourself a massage! We have some wonderful professionals that can make a difference in your overall relaxation experience.

Meditation and Reiki can also aid in reducing stress while promoting relaxation. They are useful tools that can offer emotional, physical and spiritual wellness. Whether you try one or all of these methods, they can inspire and add a sense of calm to your holiday season.

3 Key TIPS to keep you in the ZEN ZONE!

Get up as early as possible. Best time is between 5 and 6 a.m. And do your mediation at this time. Give that at least 30 to 60 mins. You are now in a mindset that keeps you focused and stress free for the day.
Shower before bed and wash off the energies of the day! This is super important if you are around a lot of people, energy can be sticky. It prepares you for a peaceful sleep as well. And sleep with a cooler temperature in the room.
If you have any level of Reiki do your self-healing portion after your meditation. Lie down or sit and incorporate that into your intention for the day. 15 to 30 mins.

No MATTER WHAT, keep this up, especially over the holidays! You will be glad you did. After my 66 day commitment to my mediation regime and Reiki self healing I am hooked! What a difference it makes to honor myself first thing in the morning. It sets me up for a successful day and my body feels amazing.

I have also been intermittent fasting and fasting weekly and I must say my energy levels have increased. I do know this is allowing some great de-toxing and helping my body heal along with the great healing energy I have been doing. I see now why the YOGIS practice this in their lives and live long and create a youthfulness that gives you energy that goes and goes like the energizer bunny. The new year has some new and exciting things to share, combine this with mediation and that also sets me up for a successful fasting day as well.

Next up in January – “Energy DETOX Healing” - a new 5D earth healing that everyone should do to reset their energy bodies!

Energy and Our Responsibility

carell@kilifestyle.ca (Carell Mehl) — Mon, 05 Dec 2016 22:06:59 GMT

We have the gifts to create a peaceful world

We live in a time where we can sense, feel and know more than ever the energy around us. Those who are now being attuned to Reiki have an amazing ability of already sensing the energy in and around them. Their journey started with a calling to simply have a desire to understand why they felt an energy that they can’t explain and now they are on a quest to improve, heal and evolve. Like many of us from years ago when we started, we are still on this path of evolution.

This would then lead you to hearing your higher self or spirit to have a calling to learn more and be more aware. When you are first learning about Reiki there is a lot to understand and take in, but as you journey along and practice self-healing you realize there is an awakening that has happened. It is a good practice to give yourself enough time of 2 to 4 months in between your levels of attunement before you carry on to the next level.

Our ego often tries to process and analyze the energy we sense, feel and know. How do you respond when you feel it is something that is from your perspective, negative, uncomfortable or unpleasant? Our response is to deflect and/or figure out if this is going to cause harm, take advantage or manipulate us before we lose control. Sound familiar? This is ultimately being at the cause and effect of this energy and is also looked upon as karma. Alternatively, we can also view this from a positive emotion in view of a reflection which would be no different.

The world and the universe in its state of natural law will always present a yin/yang balance. There is always going to be energy that is opposite. For us as humans, we have to look at the reflection that is often given to us to learn and evolve; therefore it is important that we take responsibility of how we react to energy when it is presenting itself. Emotions are away to measure this response and often we look at a negative emotion or feeling as a way to blame outside of ourselves for any of the emotions such as anger, guilt, envy, jealousy, sadness, fear, rage, just to name a few, that may show up in a conflict, challenge or confrontation. The energy in which we feel the response would be called a “trigger” and in turn is supported in a limited belief system.

Our story of an experience will give the illusion that this is the same scenario and therefore it will have the same outcome. But we have choice as to how we will respond and how we will hold ourselves or learn from a particular situation. The key component to observe is, did I have a trigger and if so, why did I respond that way? The reflection that was given to you in response to any given situation that opens a trigger is a way to check to see if your heart is closed or open. We are very capable and amazing human beings and we can learn how to evolve from those situations that when faced with negative energy or adversity to take responsibility for our part in the action that we are engaging in.

Reiki Heart Energy Tips

carell@kilifestyle.ca (Carell Mehl) — Tue, 10 May 2016 23:01:38 GMT

The first in preparation of our series - Connection to the Heart

Our tip for this month is to “just be” and embrace the abundance of new life from the plant world and the animal world. Can you just be still for 10 minutes out of your day and do not do a thing, not even a thought? The only things you are doing are feeling your heart energy with your hands and infuse green into your heart and body. Send Reiki there and now breathe in through the nose and out the mouth allowing your body to relax. Put in Cho-Ku-Rei into the heart if you are attuned to Reiki. Now connect with Reiki energy as you do the Reiki Mediation from the heart! Make a mental note of any messages or images that come through as you meditate with this energy. As part of helping the physical eat green food, wear the colour green and now that summer is almost around the corner we can simply just surround ourselves with vibrant colours within the parks and forests. Breathe it in and enjoy!

Something for the physical

Now that you have some of your energy balanced another place to focus on the body is our incredible feet! We have chakras on the bottoms of our feet the same as your hands. Taking good care of our feet and hands is important to have ultimate flow for Reiki energy. The feet keep us connected to the earth and our hands allow us to receive and give. Maybe get a foot massage, reflexology or a hot stone massage along with a pedicure. Top it off with a natural foot cream and then just put up your feet and relax. A little Reiki with that and you are in top notch shape! Enjoy!

Why Reiki for negative emotions?

carell@kilifestyle.ca (Carell Mehl) — Thu, 07 Apr 2016 06:12:32 GMT

Emotions are energy that can be experienced as positive or negative depending what is happening in your reality in the moment.

Renewing our energy is like an energetic toxic release for the body. When we do Self-Healing Reiki practice or even when we do meditation those energy particles leave our energy field and create room for more positive energy. That positive energy comes through the Reiki symbols which make it much easier for us and shorten the steps of accessing the higher realms to assist in raising our vibration.

After doing your 15 min to 30 min Reiki session for yourself or even with a qualified practitioner you will want to drink water to continue to flush the energy that surrounds the organs in the endocrine system and also the emotional memories and dysfunctional patterns we carry with us. In addition to that we are in a constant bombardment of energy that enters our space from so many different sources. That includes electromagnetic energy from Wi-Fi, cell phones and towers to our computers, microwaves and TV’s. Anyone who is over sensitive to this stimulus will become very sick and ill. Our seven major Chakras or energy bodies are instrumental to maintaining good health for our body, mind and spirit. Eventually our energy system will get plugged and start to slow down.

The intelligence of our body, including our heart and inner wisdom will communicate to us what needs our attention. When we sense that something is not working well, all we need to accomplish this and become knowledgeable is to listen and trust with awareness about what we need to do is to heal ourselves. It is much easier said than done when you are not understanding energy language and the laws of energy in the universe.

There are many ways and modalities that can assist with that task. Reiki is one tool that I have with me all the time. It weighs nothing, is invisible to the naked eye in this realm but colourful and bright in the dreaming realm. Reiki energy can transform negative or harmful energy that has impacted us and as well any living creature. Even micro-organisms, bacteria respond to the positive effects of Reiki.

Intent of release and the flow of this healing energy was a mystery until Nicola Tesla, a physicist in the late 1800s started examining and experimenting with scalar energy. There is science behind different energies and how they operate and function. Reiki energy is an ancient healing art that does have a spiritual tradition and when followed in a sacred way it creates the richness that accompanies the science and magic, love and beauty is witnessed.

If you need more of daily ritual and commitment, then Reiki practice may be a great place to start. Attune to the Reiki healing energy and start transforming your life. Namaste!

Mindful Reiki Walk

carell@kilifestyle.ca (Carell Mehl) — Mon, 07 Mar 2016 15:39:52 GMT

Our Women’s journey took us to Tofino B.C. this year. What a beautiful magical space. Even though at times it was raining it was still so amazing. It was the perfect scenery and the most welcoming space I have been to that felt so similar to Hawaii. The only big difference is the beautiful hot weather that we enjoyed and the warm tropical breezes in Hawaii!

Exploring on Vancouver Island is so much fun even in the rain. The times when we wanted to walk, we would gladly put on our rain gear and venture out to explore. It felt refreshing and made me feel alive.

The one thing that I had much gratitude over was that we drank good water from the tap and you could inhale nice clean air. It is those simple things that I realized are so life giving and so precious. It brought me back to a time when I lived in the Kootenays as a child. It was a playground of beauty.

I wanted to share a bit of the experience there in Tofino so you can imagine some mindfulness when you do your Reiki walk. I did mine in the botanical garden where it took us on a meandering path of items displayed as memory reminders from the past, overgrown with plants. My favorite is this delight.....

The path took us right to the ocean with other connecting paths that you can also explore. As I did this walk my mindfulness went right to how I walked this path and with gratitude. I allowed my child like wonder lead me forward not really knowing what to expect. I invoked the Reiki symbols in front of me and my heart space to create a clear path for me to take in all that was around me and all that the forest and the garden had to share. It was like walking into a fairy tale of beauty and magic. My one hour of time was a great gift as I was able to connect to nature in a playful way and allow what was to be left behind and at the same time create a new view of where I was intending to move towards when I was to return back to Alberta. The Reiki symbols gave me a gift for my heart space. You would have to experience this yourself to know what it means. Try this on any kind of hike or nature walk.

Namaste!

Resolve the unresolved in 2016!

carell@kilifestyle.ca (Carell Mehl) — Fri, 08 Jan 2016 00:00:00 GMT

So here we are again trying to determine what are the best strategies to help improve our health, wellbeing, balance and happiness? You know the ones that start off with great intent and tend to dwindle into a ghost of the past by the following month. Only to be reiterated and vowed to be done again in the next year resolution. Let’s just stay positive here and forget about the past and just harness what is happening in the moment. New year, new day, let’s look at a possible solution that may get you on the right track.

Keeping your goals achievable and also measureable will be a true way to know you are making good progress. There is so much information out there and hype it is hard to know what is truly going to be helpful or not. What I know that has been a big difference for me is committing to my Reiki self practice and healing. You may wonder why I didn’t suggest, “Well this gadget worked the best and this technique worked the best”. But really they are all just tools that can be good strategies to help you get to your goals, but the root of the pattern is what needs to transform before you can make any great strides. What I can tell you from my own experience I have tried to ignore it, thinking that the next great weight loss invention or trick was going to be the ticket. But in reality that is not true. A calorie is a calorie a basic measurement. But we can certainly make our bodies more efficient at burning those calories. And along the way help our minds work with our body to transform to where we desire to be —healthy and happy.

The symbol Sei-He-KI is for emotional healing and the best of the Reiki symbols to help transform those addiction problems. This symbol helps to clear repetitive patterns and clear up the emotional attachment that is causing patterns of emotional pain and addictive behaviours. We often are not aware of what it is that is hidden deep within our sub-conscious that is the root of the pattern or the behaviour. And what is more important we don’t necessarily need to know, we just have to remove the pattern that the mind has created based on the experiences from the past. In my own journey and from my client’s and student’s experiences, over time this can shift these patterns. In a short time-frame you will see that the existence of how your psyche operated is no longer a slave to continue the same pattern.

In the Reiki Level two classes we begin to utilize the symbols with some structured techniques. There is one specifically taught to help with the above mentioned symptoms and challenges. To keep in mind that everyone is different in their progress. Some key points to mention in this process would be to note that intention, mantras and along with the alchemy of Sei-He-Ki, unfolds a unique change within you that helps you bring awareness for positive change. The recipient needs to have their full attention on their desire to shift out the belief pattern and/or habit that is not serving them in their lives any longer. If you have the desire you can make that change. It also works well with modern conventional methods as a support to your ongoing treatment of western medicine. Reiki is a tool to add to that success! Namaste.

The 5 aspects of Self!

carell@kilifestyle.ca (Carell Mehl) — Thu, 03 Dec 2015 00:00:00 GMT

How are you doing with your connection to all the aspects of self?

In order to keep our health and life purpose on track we need to care for all five aspects of self. These five aspects are your physical, mental, emotional, spiritual and sexual life force. Anytime there is something that starts to create chaos in our world there maybe something going on with other aspects of self. If it is physical then this points to our spiritual self and when we are way to emotional then it points to too much time with our ego mind creating worry and stress.

The important aspect of all this is to use your inner knowing of wisdom and intuition to hear what is not working for you. If ignored it manifests into sickness, illness and disease. Sometimes we may have missed the signals or cues and a pattern maybe repeating itself. This is a clear clue you have not addressed what happened in the past. Now it is showing up again but it will feel heavier and more difficult to deal with. Seeking help by a trained energy practitioner will help you pinpoint the underlying issue which started the pattern. Especially if you have run around this circle before, why does it keep repeating?

Every year on your birthday you recycle through a chakra out of the 7 major chakras. This is another great way to come to know your patterns. Nurture and heal whatever is in relationship with the chakra you are re-cycling through. Example – Root Chakra, it is about survival and it connects to the first layer of our physical body. Especially affecting our organ the adrenals which for many individuals the adrenals are overworked causing us to create a hormone called cortisol. This is in response to stress often created through the fight or flight syndrome. Shallow breathing then contributes to other factors like anxiety and depression. If you are experiencing stress, anxiety, depression or PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder )then a key factor here would to be clearing and optimizing the root chakra. If weight is an issue for you right now then working with your root chakra is beneficial. The colour of the root chakra is red. Eating red coloured foods (natrual red colour) and wearing brilliant red colours for your clothing, surrounding yourself with the colour red in your home and office. You want to be fully experiencing life while being grounded and present. This Christmas season is perfect for root chakra – red!

Body Awareness – tuning in!

carell@kilifestyle.ca (Carell Mehl) — Tue, 03 Nov 2015 00:00:00 GMT

Body awareness is so important for us to understand. It is a pre-cursor as to what needs to change in our daily life in order to maintain or achieve good health for our body. Our body houses our life force, spirit and soul. By putting some focus to our physical body we will have clues as to what is not serving us any longer for our bodies to survive and thrive. Just like grandmother earth, we are constantly evolving and changing. If we ignore the signs the body is conveying the more of sickness, illness and disease will start to emerge. The timing factor that comes into play is age, how much stress we allow into our life, where we are in our energy evolution or development and what we are willing to do about it. We are in control of our journey in this life and we can heal ourselves. Our chakra system will be re-cycling and/or developing through our whole life so opportunities are always there to make a choice. If we are struggling to maintain our health or if we are declining in our health goals an inward look is in order by tuning into our bodies through mediation or Reiki self-practice. This give us the opportunity to hear, see, feel and know of the changes we need to address in order to make a positive change. What are some of those clues? Below are a few examples just to get started:

Body pain
Anxiety
Brain fogginess
Weight Gain
Low immunity
Depression
Constantly sick
Poor digestion
Skin problems
Poor sleeping habits
Food cravings
Addiction to food
Allergies

Muscle testing is another way to see how your body responds to certain foods and supplements. This will take some patience as you need to be very honest with your results.

Renew and release of energy

carell@kilifestyle.ca (Carell Mehl) — Sat, 03 Oct 2015 00:00:00 GMT

These days we are recycling everything! Why not recycle yourself! How? I am sure you hear this over and over again. In a very simple form we need to BREATHE! Our breath can help us to move the energy to recycle it. Breathe in with a deep cleansing breath and release and breathe it out. All the way out till you feel it is completely out of your body. Feel the breath moving through your body and if you don’t normally put your attention to your breath.

Take a moment or two now and close your eyes and just breathe! Along with the release imagine that emotion or stress leaving your space and your body. Make sure you are sitting upright and that your hands feet are not crossed. Place your hands with your palms facing up resting on your legs. Keep taking in the universal energy and trust that your body knows what to do with this amazing energy you are breathing in and out and create a more positive and magnetic field of energy for yourself.

In some cases, we may be expereiencing energy that we are sensing or picking up that isn’t of our own. During the day you actually may have taken on someone else’s emotions or negative patterns. How would you know that it isn’t yours? Simply check inside and ask, feel and know- do I have a reason to feel this way at this moment? If we can be very honest about the question then we may realize that it maybe something even very old that has not yet been resolved. If you feel that there is just no reason then ask the universe to take it all and release all that does not serve you any longer. Repeat this until you feel complete and then rest for a moment in silence.
