Energy -- Live kindly - See results

 In looking forward to the New Year, we look with renewed hope to a rise in vibration and focus on the spirit. 
A unique and wonderfully fresh approach to higher forms of thinking about our world and its need for healing.

Less of the ego and more of compassion for all LIFE.




Since everything is energy and is intricately connected, what we think and say become tangible subjects, especially the more they are focused upon with intent.
Intent is the KEY to any magickal or energy work. 


                                Energy simply IS

It flows throughout us and throughout the vast cosmos in ever expanding and contracting rhythms. It is a sentient intelligent force yet lays no judgement upon its surroundings.

It is OUR INTENT that renders energy "good" or "bad", hurtful or helpful.  

Even Reiki, in which we become the vessel for and welcome it to flow through us for healing purposes, is neutral but we must intend for it to flow through us from the Universal Source.
Reiki can do NO harm. It simply goes to where it is needed and heals. But we set our intentions when we begin a Reiki session. Even though we are simply the conduit, we still ask  permission for it to flow for higher purposes.We still have an intention.

Some things we can practice on a daily basis to help with situations in our lives are to balance our energy, focus on intent, and let go of or transmute ego driven emotions which always, in every circumstance, begin with FEAR.
Fear is the ultimate ground shaker of our spiritual foundation. ( More on that in a future blog )

We spend a lot of time trying to put up sheilds and block negative energies and emotions, but what if we instead took the time to simply transmute that energy to a more positively balanced vibration of energetic resource?
Simply put :  Live kindly.
The act of kindness itself transmutes negative energy. 
When you are in a bad mood or feeling blue, it can be difficult to motivate yourself to do anything about it. We all get caught in those traps now and again, but the good news is we always have a choice of what we wish to do with our situation. 
Here are a few suggestions to lighten your mood, quell frustration, or calm your temper, and change your energy pattern :

1. Do a quick smudge.  An entire smuding ritual is not necessary. You can do a quick 5 minute smudge and focus on transmuting ( changing ) energy.

2. Take a walk in nature. Nature - The ultimate healer

3.  Spend time with animal friends. Just sitting and petting your dog can change your energy and set the tone for a better day almost immediately.

4. Be charitable. Help someone in need. No greater joy is there than in the spirit of giving.

5. Meditate. Aagin, this does not have to be elaborate. Sitting quietly and concentrating on deep breathing is a simple yet very effective mode of changing and balancing energy.

I hope your day is filled with many reasons to smile.
Bright blessings!

Dance with your Shadow - Balance is the key!

Despair, sorrow, sadness, depression....
These are things we all, as beings of this Earth, feel at one time or another.
Upheaval is a way of life in this day and age, and we all feel the changing and fluctuating energies around us at this time.
It is important in these times to be gentle with ourselves and find things like meditation, singing, dancing, spending time with our animal friends, or even just simply sitting somewhere quietly and be-ing to help "adjust the settings".  
Even a simple, yet very powerfully effective, smudging can do the trick.
These things can help balance our energy and bring a positive glow to an otherwise tipped spectrum.
"Don't be afraid of your shadow. Just learn to dance with it in the sun!"
I hope you all are enjoying this day.
Bright blessings!

First post!

This being my first post, I suppose I should begin by introducing myself...
My name is Raven Meindel aka "The Reiki Wytch".
 I am a Reiki Master/Teacher, Registered Healer, relaxation therapist, intuitive, licensed Interfaith and Pagan minister, animal communicator, Wiccan priestess, witch, mother, wife, and lover of nature in all its aspects and forms.
Yet I am so much more....and so much less.
Life is light and it is dark.
There can be no light without shadow, no shadow without light.
It's how we balance the two that makes the difference, especially where healing is concerned.
Ever notice how cranky and edgy you can feel if you are also in tremendous pain?
Balance that with Reiki or other healing modalities, and you'll soon see why these things dwell in the same realm of this existence, though they are so far to each end of the spectrum.
Here in this blog, I'd like to have open discussions, questions and answers, and anecdotes and essays of healing and magick that make our world a more beautiful place to live, our bodies more comfortable and inhabitable, and our minds and spirits freer of the daily pollutants that tip the scale to a darker and more chaotic state of being.
Make no bones about, this world is in trouble........but it IS repairable. Balance can be, and in fact IS being, restored.
I welcome you to join me as I discuss all manner of natural healing, and phenomena that defy explanation but truly bring amazing results.
From psychic connections that save lives to hands on healing that balances and restores energy, we'll cover it all!
Onward we go!.......
