Reiki and The Ship's Bell

I received this ship's bell the other night from a friend. After researching the history of its ship; the SS Independence, our Reiki group decided that with its tormented history, we should treat it with loving Reiki from the universe. Afterwards, all the confusing information about this bell and history seemed to be sorted out. The bell was definately new and un-used and many of the individual parts did not fit together, as they would have, had it been on board and used on a daily basis.

As Reiki energy passed through us and we felt the energy of the bell, we experienced its vibration, we got to honor all living things, we felt  gratitude for this this gift and in the end the Truth is revealed. While this bell was clearly not the SS Independence's bell, but rather was given to someone who served faithfully on its bridge. I will honor this bell on board my vessel, Shatoosh, for years to come. Again, we get to see how Reiki carves out the truth from existing chaos and confusion and brings balance and harmony to all living things.

Reiki To The Rescue

Jean Ferris, Reiki Master arrived last night to teach Reiki in the Pacific NW. We stopped and had a spicy meal near the airport and by 0100 hrs, I was up in the bathroom throwing up in the trash can. I went downstairs and woke Jean up and together we treated me. Both of us lying in the recliner couch,  like a pair of well used book ends, she started sending me a distant treatment and I started hands on my belly. In a matter of a few minutes, I was no longer feeling that uncomfortable urge to run to the bathroom, but my stomach was still agitated and painful. A few more minutes the pain was gone and I was drifting off to sleep. Today, I am functioning slowly and as the day progresses, I am feeling more like myself and will be ready to sit in on the Reiki training tonight.

What would I do if I didn't have Reiki to tend to all the mysterious ailments that drop in so unexpectedly? I am always so grateful that I took my Reiki training and I continue to revel  in its magical and mystical qualities for 25 years. Domo Arigato Gozaimas, as they would say in ole Nippon.

Babe Mueller- Our Matriarch Passes On

Texas Blue Bonnets From Babe's Yard

Our wonderful family member, Babe, excarnated on Sunday morning, 11 April 2010. She passed during the early hours of the morning, while sleeping. She was loved and will missed by many. The matriarchal torch is now passed to her daughter, Georgia Ann. Again, Reiki helped Babe in many ways, but the most significant is always in the pain management realms. She was never in any pain, only discomfort when being moved or turned. Dying without pain is the hallmark of compassionate care and Reiki is the beacon of light which comes from the universe to soothe our suffering in our final days. How fortunate we are to have Reiki in our lives and how blessed each act of kindness becomes when we minister to the sick and dying.
