Making Space for Change

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.  Teachings and sessions are available if you wish to know more. Here is a link to the Ki Lifestyle page, which offers free downloadable information. Click on the Chakra link to learn more about Chakra development and recycling. Contact Carell for a special mini program that focuses on the chakra you are recycling in. It will bring clarity and direction to get to those karmic debts and transform, repay or clear. 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 may help to offer insight, identify what is keeping you stuck, and help create strategies to achieve your goals. ~ Namaste & Many Blessings!

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.

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.

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. ~ Namaste & Many Blessings!

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. ~ Namaste & Many Blessings!
