What is Blocking your Magic?!

April 30, 2024

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 asimple 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.

Reiki and "The Veil"

By Carell Mehl • September 30, 2025

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!
