A Weekend of Grace and Abundance

Jean, my twin, flew through Washington from her Reiki Teaching trip in Hawaii. She is a Reiki Master and extraordinary practitioner. We spent 3 days immersing ourselves in a marathon of Reiki, Sacred Mantras, Anointing myself in Essential Oils and holy water from John of God and Lourdes, Matrix Energetics-Two Pointing, and compiling my healing module, which we installed into my being and activated. On a later posting I will share all the components of this.

Sister Frances from Kalaupapa, Molokai had just returned from Rome at the Vatican to take part in the Canonization of Sister Marianne Cope. She sent gifts of Saint Marianne Cope; a small pendant, a Saint Card which the Pope had blessed. She had also gone to Lourdes and sent me 2 vials of holy water, which I have been applying to my breast.

Another friend who in involved in Reiki, has traveled to John of God with us and has taken several courses in Matrix Energetics by Dr. Richard Bartlett sent me her healing pendant to use. She also sent many of Young Living Oils to be used.

Many who are Catholic are performing daily novenas for me, another friend went to the Mission of San Xavier de Bac in Tuscon and lite a candle for me. This is a wonderful place of healing energy. As young men Xavier and Ignatius both met on their pilgrimage to Rome to become priests, so I am connected to both.

St. Francis Xavier

My weekend turned out to be an incredible healing adventure for me. The energy of my chest has changed and so has its physical appearance. So for all my friends and family, please know that I am in very capable and special hands. Some people have made references to inferring this is a time of difficulty and sorrow for us, but I want everyone to know that is not the case at all and we are far from any such place. We are anchored in gratitude, hope, and trust. The universe knows the master plan and pieces are being revealed to Jean and I on a daily basis. My love to all.

Gratitude

I drew a Siddha Yoga Virtue card 2 days ago and it was Gratitude.  Being grateful for every little and big thing in my life is my path. Everything is a blessing from heaven, the message is critical to pay attention to, to contemplate and to incorporate into our lives. We can't be angry or afraid of the messenger, as it, too, has been sent from the heavens.

I have never been one to embrace the idea or belief that we must fight the war on cancer. Battle really is not an option, nor is it ever fruitful. I'd rather embrace my disease, condition with kind, loving energy. Send it love, wrap my arms around it, let it tell me what I need to learn. At present I am learning that I need to pay attention to how I nurture myself. I always have good intentions, but sometimes my focus, steadfastness waxes and wanes. I can refocus, regroup and for now it is a time to put all my tools into action for my healing process.

I have received so many beautiful calls, messages and emails. As I wait for my appointment tomorrow to have a mammogram and ultra sound I will be listening to a beautiful message that was sent from a friend in Oregon. I hope you will enjoy this as much as I do.

Saint Ignatius Incorporation

John of God is an ordinary man, who has given his life to heal others. There are about 30 entities from other realms who enter his body from time to time. Saint Ignatius is one of the entities who comes. His spirit is so huge that it has become more difficult to enter John of God's body. He now comes only once a year on the anniversary of his death and stays for about 30 minutes. This is a great day for the Casa of Dom Ignacio. We were fortunate to have been at the Casa on this day in 2007. It became the most extraordinary day for all of us in attendance. This is a letter I wrote upon returning to America, thanking the Casa. Because of this profound event in my life, I am filled with tremendous grace to face any crisis in my life. My life is so blessed, so watched over by so many heavenly beings, that I can maneuver through difficult waters and can always find a safe harbor. It is important to share my multifaceted approach and journey with you. I have asked my boating community to join reading my Reiki blog, so welcome to everyone.

St. Ignatius Incorporation
27 July 2007


Your visit from the divine realms created an electric anticipation within our spiritual hospital. Joao( the man known as John of God) cried as he awaited your incorporation.

A tsunami wave of heavenly love bathed our hearts filling them beyond capacity and we wept uncontrollably with benevolent gratitude. Your feet graced the path of flowers and leaves creating a sound of crackling as sparklers exploded overhead in my inner vision. Your fragrant essence of love was inhaled by each of our hungry breaths.

Slowly you walked the path bestowing blessings to all in the current rooms who meditated in support of your sacred visit. As you entered the entity current room your gaze was pulled upwards toward heaven and you cried tears of great love blessing Joao’s chair and his sacred mission.

Oh, Holy Dom Inacio, you have given us a gift of heavenly love that carries each of our hearts to a higher realm, a realm that we have never known. The chambers of our hearts have expanded and from this day forward God’s love will flow easily to all we embrace. We hold you in our hearts with a new awareness and cry profusely in gratitude. You have injected our hearts and souls with heavenly love and we fall to our knees in gratitude.

Our hearts cry out, “ please don’t leave us now, stay a little while longer.”

Obreigada con amor,
 Hira Barbara Reid

More Aphorisms After John Of God

Miracle Potion

"Those mysterious entities who enter our temples, armed with their invisible scalpels,
Seem to perform architectural remodeling and rewiring of our systems.
We come from all over the world wanting them to free us from our diseases,
And we learn upon  leaving, our hearts are open and our minds, still.
The profundity of this combination is lethal to dis--ease.
It doesn't matter anymore what we meet at the crossroads of our lives.
We just embrace and envelope them in our blanket of unshakable stillness and peace.
This becomes the miracle potion we begin to share with others.
Care to have a drink?"


Spreading Out in Love

"Being in love every moment is new to me.
It hasn't always been like this.
My days were licked by the tongues of pride, arrogance, fear and anger.
Judgement washed up on every shore of my daily interactions.
Now, there is so much room inside me to maneuver and spread out.
Spreading out in love, makes my life the happiest, it has ever been."

A Blanket of Stillness

"Being with John of God is an experience beyond all known  realms". I write this in 2005 one month upon returning from my first of 3 three trips to be in the healing casa of John of God of Abadiania, Brazil. I continue, "The heavens open and the entities, being in palpable range  enter through your etheric body. There is a sense that angels, saints and deities of all realms, are being called down to earth to this particular landscape to enter John of God and heal all those who come. I was touched by their love for each human being, as it is indescribable. It is a lifetime opportunity for anyone on the spiritual path or on a healing journey, to make a pilgrimage to John of God. My life is forever changed. My heart overflows with gratitude  as the cells in my being are filled with profound stillness, the magnitude of which  I have never felt before. May we all love one another and reach out to help our fellow man, as we are all part of one big family called the human race"

" I can't stop writing you about my blanket of stillness.
When I sit to meditate, all the cells inside me are still.
It is different from what I know as inner peace.
My familiar uneasiness or quivering inside is gone.

I could stay forever, but
Here I go again, crying out of gratitude.
Oh! I'll happily spend the rest of my life
Crying out of gratitude
For this inner miracle."

Hira and Joao 2006

John of God

I have been to John of God 3 times and one of the many things that happened to me was my entire being was filled with incredible peace. Upon return to America one year I began writing 4 Volumes of Healing Aphorisms. I would wake up in the middle of the night or at dawn and sometimes write for hours. Words would spill out of me as though they were coming from another realm.

This is a great time to reflect on aspects of my life which are miraculous and being with John of God ranks high on my list. The day he incorporated  St. Ignatius was by far the most significant experience of divine love that I have ever experienced. Even today, I invoke the grace of St. Ignatius and sit during Casa-times in Abadiania, Brazil. I know there are  hundred of deities in the universe supporting me and everyone else. All we have to do, is call out.

Here is one of my favorite aphorisms from 2005.

Locked and Loaded

God is locked and loaded with love.
He squeezes the trigger and shots ring out into the universe.
He laughs himself silly,
Knowing he'll never run out of bullets.
I bravely stand up and say,
"Me, Me. Hey fella, shoot this way.
I'm ready to play your game!"

Reiki is flowing my way through my healing team and numerous times throughout each day, I pause, as I feel
that I have just been shot again with those love bullets.

A Health Challenge for Hira-- Waiting on the "What"

I have been wanting to update my Reiki blog for some time but did not realize it would be with my own health challenge. Recently, I have noticed a change in my right nipple. It has been dry and flaky  but then overnight it changed to being covered in crusty material. I was surprised to notice this and started to clean it up only to see a deeper level of excoriation. "This doesn't look good", I said to myself.

I looked at Google Images, for conditions of the nipple and immediately saw images that are identical to my situation. I take a photo of my nipple and send it off to my twin Jean Ferris. She agrees, this doesn't look good. I am not a great admirer of Allopathic Medicine, but the one thing they do well, is make a diagnosis. Since I am retired US Army, I have Tri-Care for Life, VA and Medicare to support me allopathically, I headed to Madigan Army Medical Center near my home in Tacoma Wa. I have had some difficulty in navigating their system with several mix-ups already, but hope to have a diagnosis by the end of this month. At this point, we need to rule out cancer and perhaps specifically, Paget's carcinoma of the nipple---and ?breast. My breast, on palpation by several health care providers, doesn't reveal any masses.

While my blog is about Reiki, my treatment approaches are multifaceted and for the upcoming months I will be sharing what my treatment plan comprises and sharing with you the steps of my journey. Jean and I have already initiated my 2nd Degree Reiki Healing Circle sending me distant treatments for my physical and mental-emotional bodies.

Playing the waiting game for a diagnosis, might be frightening for some people, but it is giving me time to plan a very comprehensive treatment module for myself that I have already activated. I am fortunate to have many healing tools at my disposal and can face my future with clarity and and balanced action. I don't dwell or worry myself with the "what-ifs", I just focus on the "what", with a multifaceted approach that is full of universal love.

I am thanking all my fellow supporters and my team members for being a part of my journey and together we will learn that love heals all of our broken parts.
