Everything originates from the Source...
However you wish to define Source
Everything is Energy...
Energy is not inherently positive or negative...But the qualities we attribute to something can be positive or negative...Based on how we interpret what is filtering through our field of perception...
It is always best to not give away our power...To anything or anyone...Regardless of how much something/someone may help us
We need to remember that all healing...Is a result of our own inner ability...To activate our own power...Our I AM presence within...Regardless of whatever assistance we are given, take, or use...
When we are unsure about something...If we get in touch with our deeper self...
Check how it feels through the heart center... of the 4th chakra...We usually get the correct answer for ourself.
And here is the rest of it.

Some Thoughts On Healing...

The Master Numbers
PAYING ATTENTION TO NUMBERS
One of the phenomena occurring at this time is to pay attention that we are living with Spirit, and one way our guides and teachers help us is by making us become aware of the energies and the meaning of numbers...such as in the appearance of 3 or more of the same digits.
111
Energy flow - enhancing whatever level you are in presently
222
Resurrection and ascension process. Twenty-two (22) is the master number that reflects POWER ON ALL PLANES AND THE ABILITY TO CHANGE THE COURSE OF HISTORY
333
Decision number - Either directs you into a phase of 999 completion, or negatively, it puts you in the 666 frequency which throws you back into the third dimension, watch what you are doing VERY carefully
In the crystal book by Melody "Love Is In The Earth", this is what it says for the 333 Master number. Power over the total physical realm is revealed and the application of same is facilitated. Understanding of the "right time" is expedited and the act of non-action is furthered; patience is a keyword. The concept of ease in actualization and the understanding of the abstraction of manifestation is reflected on the 333 vibration.
444
Presence of Angels and ability for Angelic communication or you have completed an important phase and it is the number of resurrection
555
Experiencing the energy or level of CHRIST CONSCIOUSNESS
666
Material world, third dimensional frequency, density, pay attention to everything around you and ask if making this decision in this way will hold me back from my spiritual growth in some way?
777
Symbolizes an integration of some portion of the four lower bodies with higher spiritual frequencies within the Third-dimensional plane, or at the level in which you are manifesting your physical reality on the Earth Plane.
888
Symbolizes infinity. The unified spiral of the physical merging with the spiritual. Moving toward the completion of the ascension process through the energies of 222 and 444.
999
Symbolizes the three levels of the triune, completion.
000
The great void, experiencing a null zone. Switching or moving into a new energy field.
11:11
Beginning of a whole new level or phase of development. Another dimension or frequency of experience opening. A way or path opening for you. Stargate 11:11
12:12
Cosmic Connection, a bridge to the future, signifies a levelof completion or graduation
Just the other day my youngest daughter who is in 9th grade mentioned that every day she notices the 11:11 on the clock, and since she is a night owl, most days, she says she notices it twice. I find this amazing. She indicated she is not a clock watcher but somehow always manages to see that particular time on a daily basis. I have to admit, I was a bit jealous, because I never notice the numbers, then again, I rarely ever look at a clock. So, does that have some signifiance?
I do realize that numbers surround us, and I rarely pick up on the signals that come in this manner, although I have been in the car with this particular daughter and she will say, "hey mom look, that license plate has a 333 on it."

Animal Symbolism
UNDERSTANDING ANIMAL SYMBOLISM
Many cultures have traditionally used animals as symbolism. Native people often view animals as teachers, as each represents a beneficial quality that can help strengthen and educate a person. Once we understand each animal’s essence--the specific gifts and strengths the creature represents--we can then incorporate a particular animal into a ritual and ask its guidance.
Recently have you been: drawn to a particular animal? Dreamed about a certain animal? Encountered an animal during some part of your day that you don't normally see? Hear stories or mention of the same animal over and over? Then there may be a message in it for you. Read on to find out what the various animals represent.
Beaver: architecture and building, teaches structure, problem solving, and the ability to work with others
Butterfly: transformation, moving forward, trusting life to support you
Cat: independence, playfulness, caution, and gracefulness
Crow: intuition, justice
Deer: gentleness, peace
Dog: loyalty, guardian, and protector
Dolphin: power of play, unconditional love, the ability to release stored emotions through breath
Dove: peace, calm, and simplicity
Eagle: ability to see above the mundane, clarity, vision, and connection to the divine
Fox: confidence, cunning, and independence
Frog: connection to water rituals, a cleansing of spirit, body and mind, easing change
Horse: power, dependability
Hummingbird: joy, celebration life, and the ability to feel emotionally "lighter"
Lion: leadership, action, assists one in moving through fear
Owl: wisdom, clairvoyance, and clarity of thought
Peacock: wholeness, authority of self, and the expression of one’s own beauty
Rabbit: creativity helps one face fear
Raccoon: unmasking the truth helps one accept hidden aspects of the self, the ability to play many roles in life

Are You Preparing for the Earth Changes?
MOTHER EARTH PREPARES FOR THE SHIFT
Mother Earth, the Being known as Gaia which "ensouls" the planetary body, is planning at this time to "Ascend" alongside Humanity and other lifeforms to a higher vibrational level. But in order to do so She must first of all cleanse her body of all the pollution that Humanity has accumulated up to now. The physical state of her surface has reached such a state that it cannot carry on much longer without a complete ecological and environmental breakdown. Hence, a thorough Planetary cleansing is required by the Forces of Nature before a New World can begin to be recreated.
Preparing for the Quantum Leap
We and the planet are undergoing a unique transition in our spiritual evolution at this time. We are preparing for a quantum leap unlike any that has ever occurred before.
At the completion point of a multi billion-year single circular orbit around the Great Central Sun, our Galaxy connects diagonally to the next 'ring' on the great Cosmic Spiral. When this diagonal move from one ring of the great Cosmic Spiral to the next takes place, all of the planets, solar systems, and their inhabitants simultaneously take a step into a new evolutionary cycle. This is occurring now. We are not only at the end of a 26,000-year Earth/Sun/Pleiadian cycle; the entire Pleiadian system, which includes this solar system, is at the end of a 230,000,000-year orbit around the Galactic Center, and the entire galaxy is at the completion of its infinitely longer orbit around the Great Central Sun of this Universe.
It is said that prior to the end of 2012, Earth will undergo a spiritual and physical house-cleaning, corresponding to what have commonly been called 'Earth changes'
Crystalline Form
The Earth Mother, along with the plant, animal and mineral kingdoms, and humanity, are currently undergoing a genetic transmutative process to the "crystalline form". The crystalline form has a different biochemical structure that allows any embodiment to hold a higher vibration. The crystalline form also allows for the experience of an ageless and disease-free life experience.
The plant, animal and mineral kingdoms are also in the process of becoming crystalline in form. The planet at large, is a body and is not unlike a human body in relation to the crystalline conversion process. We know that with the human form, the crystalline conversion occurs gradually, and certain parts of the body are converted a little at a time. This is also true for the Earth Mother. Some parts of her, especially those areas that are related to energy ley lines and vortexes, are rapidly becoming crystalline in form. Other areas will not become crystalline until later in her ascension process.
Dissolving All Present Thoughtforms
Earth is in the process of creating well-being and harmony for itself. The nature kingdoms are doing the same. Humanity must choose for itself. Humans that choose to release the past and move along with both Earth and the nature kingdom, will have a very different future than the humans that do not choose to release the past. Everything shall change. There is no present thought-form, no present technology that is going to make the shift into the next dimension. Only that which is conscious shall survive. That which is conscious is all species upon Earth, including the plant, animal and mineral, dolphin and whale, and those humans whom are awakening. There is nothing in your world that shall remain as Earth's vibration reaches a high enough vibration to dissolve it. This shall include the buildings that you rely upon, the cement of your roads, the plastic that you contain things in, and the craft and technology that you perceive as so very important. None of it shall be a part of Earth's future in the centuries ahead. Those who die will carry on with their indebted circumstance in another 3rd dimensional creation.
Global Warming
One manner of measuring an increase in earth's vibration is known as "global warming". The further the Earth moves towards the next dimension or the attainment of becoming an Ascended Master, the warmer she will become. This is simply because the increasing vibration causes the molecules of Earth to spin at a faster rate, which causes the temperature to simultaneously rise around the globe.
Global Shifts
Mother Earth is known to many as Gaia. She is a living, breathing entity and very much a part of your own energetic system. It was not until recently that we have begun to actually care for the planet which supports our own energetic structure. Now the tide has turned and with it the opportunity to reclaim your power has come to you once again. You have been offered this opportunity five times throughout your history. Each time, you have not been able to hold your true power. Each time it was necessary for Gaia to fully cleanse herself, to relieve herself of the tension of the misdirected energy, which you created through your actions. These have been the global shifts that have happened five times thus far in the history of Planet Earth.
Nothing is Written in Stone
There is no question that many prophecies abound today. One should always keep in mind that prophecies are nothing more than predictions. The best prophets are the ones who will admit that there is nothing about the future that is written in stone. The future is fluid and holds many probable outcomes and results, all of which are dependent upon the choices we make today as individuals and as a collective human family. If we don't like what we hear about the future, then we have the power to change it. The intention of anyone who tells you differently should be questioned.
We are not our bodies. We are spirits with souls created by God and with free wills. Throughout our universe, and perhaps countless other universes, there are many root races or different families of souls. Although many have chosen to go their separate ways, we are still and always will be ONE with each other and our Source. The human race is one of these cosmic families.
Ages and ages ago human spirits decided to come to planet Earth so that we (and God) could experience and appreciate the life that this 3-dimensional planet had to offer. As a group we had agreed to uplift this planet in a very sacred way. It would be one that would bring God-consciousness to Earth's level of vibration by blending Spirit into matter. Somewhere along the way we over-identified with the material world through its many physical pleasures and got stuck here in the life-death-reincarnation cycle that typically takes place on planets with a 3-dimensional level of vibration. In essence, we have lost our way and our God-centeredness. We've simply forgotten who we are and why we came here in the first place.
The universe is perfect. There are cosmic cycles, both big and small, within its vast expanse that occur like clockwork and reflect divine order and purpose. There are also different dimensions in God's universe (Jesus told us His Father's house has many mansions). Our five senses only allow us the awareness of the 3rd dimension.
There are planets in the universe today occupied by beings who vibrate at a higher level and intensity than the 3rd and 4th dimension. Planet Earth and all its inhabitants are now shifting from a three dimensional existence to one that vibrates at a higher level of energy. This birthing process is a major cosmic event for us and its purpose is to deliver this planet and all participating life forms into a higher dimension.
Planet Earth is going to go through a profound change. The driving force behind this irreversible and benevolent transformation is a wave of energy called the Christ Consciousness. This is part of the second coming of Christ we are all familiar with.
In addition, the human family currently on planet Earth is not homogeneous. Rather, it appears to be a mixture of starseeds from other planetary systems who were aware that our planet was going to go through a profound dimensional shift in consciousness at this point in time. These starseeds volunteered to forget who they are and where they came from. They were then born here as "humans" and, as cosmic volunteers, will help our planet go through its transformation into the Light.
In order to achieve this, Starseeds were pre-coded to awaken to who they really are at this point in time as Beings of Light and love. Apparently, they have done this many times before with other planetary systems. They live to serve their many brothers and sister from the stars. Such is their love for us.
The sole purpose behind the dimensional shift for planet Earth is to change it from a fear-driven planet to one whose alignment will be spiritual and based upon love. The shift will be irreversible and is estimated to intensify over the next 10 years. Those of us who choose a life of love will continue on with planet Earth and move into a higher dimension. These will be the Golden Years referred to in the prophecies.
Can all of this shift into other dimensions be proven? Not really. However, one thing is for sure. There is a massive change in consciousness taking place on planet Earth these days. Millions and millions of people are awakening spiritually. This in turn has affected the global consciousness of our planet. Many of the dire prophesies made for these times simply have not happened. Yes, there are erratic and violent weather patterns and other Earth changes taking place, but the worst scenarios appear to have been softened by our planetary spiritual awakening. Along with these changes we are beginning to vibrate more quickly. For many who are awakening, this has not been the most enjoyable experience physically. Symptoms of exhaustion, malaise, a desire to be out of the rat race, lack of focus and concentration, sleeping for long periods of time, a desire to find inner peace come and go. There are times when your feelings may be more intense. You might get angry or impatient in a way that comes as a complete surprise to you. Perhaps you are over emotional, cry a lot, feel things deeply. Try to rest easy. These changes are a part of the transmutation process.
In short, the world isn't ending, but it will be a time of change, upheaval and flux. Planet Earth will no longer permit three dimensional situations and attitudes. All the rules are changing. Do not try to hold on to your past experiences and beliefs because they will no longer apply. It is time to let them go.
Earth School, as we have known it, is almost over.

Meridian Wheel
THE MERIDIAN CYCLE
Cyles are a natural part of our day and life expereince. There are seasonal cycles, monthly cycles, and daily cycles, just to name a few. Think about the ocean and the tides,they come in daily - having a high and low tide period. As humans, we also have daily "high and low tide" periods.
There are 12 meridains in the body. Using the meridian system, our day can then be divided into 12 two hour cycles, where a particular meridian is at its highest power period and lowest power period, during a given time frame. This is an internal body clock, that can provide us with much useful information. Review the meridan flow chart below, then use it to determine if there are any regular time periods during the day, where you are feeling particulary affected. .
TIME PERIOD MERIDIAN ENERGY
Active: High Power Time
1am - 3 am ...............Liver ...........................Yin
3am - 5 am ...............Lung............................Yin
5am - 7 am................Large Intestine........... Yang
7am - 9 am............... Stomach.......................Yang
9am - 11am.............. Spleen........................... Yin
11am - 1pm.............. Heart............................. Yin
1pm - 3pm............... Small Intestine............. Yang
3pm - 5pm............... Bladder.......................... Yang
5pm - 7pm............... Kidney............................ Yin
7pm - 9pm............... Circulation/Sex..............Yin
9pm - 11pm............. Triple Warmer...............Yang
11pm - 1pm............. Gall Bladder .................Yang
The low time periods are the opposite 12 hour time period on the clock For example: 1AM - 3 AM is the active time for the Liver, where as 1PM- 3PM would be the resting time for that meridian . Get a printable copy of the Meridian Cycle.

Universal Laws
Drs. Milanovich and McCune in, The Light Shall Set You Free (1998), state there are 12 Universal Laws, and 21 sub-laws, that describe ways in which cause and effect are related. The Universal Laws can also be viewed as guidelines for behaviors that will enhance our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual growth.
The Universal Laws are all inter-related and are founded on the understanding that everything in the universe is energy, including us, and that energy moves in a circular fashion. At the microscopic level, we are a whirling mass of electrons and energy atoms spinning rapidly. In fact, everything in the world is comprised of energy and we are intimately connected with this sea of energy, this sea of whirling electrons.
Our thoughts, feelings, words, and actions are all forms of energy. What we think, feel, say, and do in each moment comes back to us to create our realities. Energy moves in a circle, so what goes around comes around. The combined thoughts, feelings, words and actions of everyone on the planet creates our collective consciousness, it creates the world we see before us.
The exciting news is, because our thoughts, feelings, words and actions create the world around us, we have the power to create a world of peace, harmony and abundance. In order to do this, it is essential that we learn to control our thoughts and emotions. Understanding the Universals Laws help us to do this.
1. The Law of Divine Oneness:
The Law of Divine Oneness helps us to understand that we live in a world where everything is connected to everything else. Everything we do, say, think and believe affects others and the universe around us.
2. The Law of Vibration:
This Universal Law states that everything in the Universe moves, vibrates, and travels in circular patterns. The same principles of vibration in the physical world apply to our thoughts, feelings, desires, and wills in the Etheric world. Each sound, thing, and even thought has its own vibrational frequency, unique unto itself.
3. The Law of Action:
The Law of Action must be applied in order for us to manifest things on earth. Therefore, we must engage in actions that support our thoughts, dreams, emotions and words.
4. The Law of Correspondence:
This Universal Law states that the principles or laws of physics that explain the physical world – energy, Light, vibration, and motion – have their corresponding principles in the etheric or universe. “As above, so below.”
5. The Law of Cause and Effect:
This Universal Law states that nothing happens by chance or outside the Universal Laws. Every action has a reaction or consequence and we “reap what we have sown.”
6. The Law of Compensation:
This Universal Law is the Law of Cause and Effect applied to blessings and abundance that are provided for us. The visible effects of our deeds are given to us in gifts, money, inheritances, friendships, and blessings.
7. The Law of Attraction:
This Universal Law demonstrates how we create the things, events, and people that come into our lives. Our thoughts, feelings, words, and actions produce energies which, in turn, attract like energies. Negative energies attract negative energies and positive energies attract positive energies.
8. The Law of Perpetual Transmutation of Energy:
This Universal Law states that all persons have within them the power to change the conditions in their lives. Higher vibrations consume and transform lower ones; thus, each of us can change the energies in our lives by understanding the Universal Laws and applying the principles in such a way as to effect change.
9. The Law of Relativity:
This Universal Law states that each person will receive a series of problems (Tests of Initiation) for the purpose of strengthening the Light within. We must consider each of these tests to be a challenge and remain connected to our hearts when proceeding to solve the problems. This law also teaches us to compare our problems to others’ problems and put everything into its proper perspective. No matter how bad we perceive our situation to be, there is always someone who is in a worse position. It is all relative.
10. The Law of Polarity:
This Universal Law states that everything is on a continuum and has an opposite. We can suppress and transform undesirable thoughts by concentrating on the opposite pole. It is the law of mental vibrations.
11. The Law of Rhythm:
This Universal Law states that everything vibrates and moves to certain rhythms. These rhythms establish seasons, cycles, stages of development, and patterns. Each cycle reflects the regularity of God’s universe. Masters know how to rise above negative parts of a cycle by never getting too excited or allowing negative things to penetrate their consciousness.
12. The Law of Gender:
This Universal Law states that everything has its masculine (yang) and feminine (yin) principles, and that these are the basis for all creation. The spiritual Initiate must balance the masculine and feminine energies within herself or himself to become a Master and a true co-creator with God.
Sub-laws
In addition to the 12 Universal Laws, Drs. Milanovich and McCune (1998) state there are 21 sub-laws of the Universe that are governed by the Higher Self. Using Milanovich and McCune’s stellar work, Dr. Bailey works with her clients to understand and apply these laws to their lives by first differentiating between the voice of the ego and that of the Higher Self, and then by practicing techniques designed to align one’s self with her or his Higher Self.
The 21 sub-laws are actually human characteristics that relate to the Universal Laws. These characteristics are: Aspiration to A Higher Power, Charity, Compassion, Courage, Dedication, Faith, Forgiveness, Generosity, Grace, Honesty, Hope, Joy, Kindness, Leadership, Noninterference, Patience, Praise, Responsibility, Self-Love, Thankfulness, and Unconditional Love.

Energy Technique Tool Box: Tip 8
Techniques for Removing Energy Blockages
Cutting Cords:
Imagine that your hand is very sharp and cut the cord close to the body, with Reiki light. Imagine that the energy goes back to whom it belongs to. I like to call in
Archangel Micheal to either actually do the cord cutting or to assist in the process. This is a powerful energy technique and one that should not be used lightly, without much thought or preparation. Because I feel this needs more detailed explanation, in another post I will go more in-depth with this process.
Filling in Auric Holes:
Place one hand at the edge of it, and slowly bring it towards the body, imagining that you are filling the hole with light and squeezing out anything negative. Then touch your hand to the body, or close to the body if at an intimate area.
Releasing Negative Thought Forms:
If you feel there is something in the aura or the body needing release, reach into it (imagine you are if it is in the body- use your etheric hands), and pull it out quickly. Pull it out of the aura and let whatever it was dissolve into light. Pulling it out often feels like you are stretching elastic, and when this sensation stops, it has come out.
Releasing Blockages:
This can be used with the above technique or on its own. Fluff up the aura close to the body, imagining that this is agitating any blockage so that it is released.
Enlivening a Weak Aura:
The whole aura, or part of it may feel rather small and depressed. To give it a boost, fluff it up, as if you are fluffing up lots of feathers, to a foot or two from the body. The recipient may feel light-headed- this is quite common and shows a negative thought form has been released.
Clearing The Aura:
This is a way of clearing the aura, but more specific work on areas of it may also be required. First of all, chop or cut up to a foot from the body with the edge of your hand, from the head downwards. This cuts minor cords and removes minor blockages. Then comb the aura with your fingers, starting at the top and working down, in a downwards direction. This brings the fibres of the aura back together. Lastly, fluff the whole aura up, again starting at the head, as in the last technique. Do this a coupe of times.
Balancing The Aura:
This needs to be done when the aura feels thicker, weaker or larger on one side. Hold your hands, so one is on each side, and stop when the energy feels even. You may find that there are blockages in one side which need to be removed first.
Before and After the Session:
It is important to provide a space in which the recipient can relax fully. There needs to be no disturbances and it needs to be a warm temperature. Have a blanket ready in case they get cold and to cover them with at the end.
Wash your hands up to the elbows before and after and provide plenty of water for you both to drink afterwards. Freshen up but avoid highly scented perfume. Prepare the room so it is nice and cleanse it energetically by smudging or spraying an essential oil cleansing blend or saltwater around.
Picture white light streaming down, filling all the corners. Prepare yourself mentally by meditating and visualising light coming into you. Call on your Reiki guides and whatever spiritual beings inspire you, for example Dr Usui, Buddha, the Ascended Masters.
Remove any watch or jewellery and ask the recipient to remove theirs. If they will be lying down, they may want to empty their pockets so they don't get any nasty surprises when turning over! They should also remove footwear.
After the session is complete, silently thank the beings you called upon to guide and help you. Rub down the recipient's body at the sides a couple of times. Ask the recipient to come back gently and open their eyes in their own time.
Put a blanket over them. When they get up, ask them if they are grounded and ground
them some more if they are not. Also ground yourself. Advise them to drink plenty of water and take it easy for a while. They may want to share something that came up during the session.Wash your hands to the elbows and go round the room again with incense or saltwater, imagining light streaming in again, paying particular attention to where the recipient was.

Subtle Energy: A Basic Introduction
Energy...Spirit...Awareness...
Intention
Mmm, it is an interesting process to observe. Actually it is a joyful process to watch as it begins to unfold. What you might ask? When I start musing over these things, often I don't quite have the language that best describes what is rolling around in my thoughts. Often these musings occur as pictures or feelings, and language sort of acts as a limitation when I try to describe them .
I think we humans are starting to move toward the reconnection that was lost a long time ago..to rekindle, so to speak the mysteries of the inner world. These mysteries lie in the realm of subtle energy.
As a Reiki teacher and practitioner, I often see amazement in the eyes of those who are just venturing out on this path. They display a keen interest in wanting to know what is going on, they show a deep thirst for understanding, and thus they begin their personal search of re-discovery of that what is already known but buried under the deepness of societal inheritance .
So here are a few thoughts to ponder as you are travelling down that road of rediscovery"
Energy Follows Thought
Where our we focus our will, our attention, our intentions...energy will be attracted to it and follow. If we expect success or failure, health or illness, improvement or worsening, we'll tend to get it. You get what you ask for is not a hollow statement.
Let Me Share an Example:
Scenario #1
I wake up in the morning and make the decision that "this is the best day of my life" and I start to act that way. I hop in the shower, and the water is somewhat cold. "Brrrh, gotta make this one quick today." Get dressed, go down stairs to grab some breakfast.
"Let's see, I feel like cereal and milk." Open the fridge and the milk is empty. "Well, I guess I'll have a banana and mix some of that dry cereal with a little bit of plain yogurt. Wow! I forgot how tasty this combo was, yum! I think I'll put a dash of cinnamon and vanilla as well."
I then get in the car and realize the gas gauge is on empty. "Great! I'm glad I noticed this, I'll have to stop at the gas station to fill up. Thank you Angels for making me realize this, I will be driving on a long isolated stretch of highway today, and if I didn't notice the gauge I could easily have been stranded on the side of the road with no gas!" Again I express gratitude for making me aware, thinking how lucky I am to have the other side helping me, and my day proceeds to be the best yet.
Scenario #2
I wake up in the morning and think, "God, it's only Monday!" I hop in the shower and the water is somewhat cold. "Great! No hot water again!!! It really pisses me off when my girls take 20 minute showers and use up all the hot water, not giving one thought to any one else in the house!"
Get dressed, go down stairs to grab some breakfast. "Let's see, I feel like cereal and milk." Open the fridge and the milk is empty. "It figures! Doesn't anyone around here other than me, know how to dispose of an empty container? Why didn't someone say we were out of milk! Huhhh! Guess that means no breakfast again today!"
I then get in the car and realize the gas gauge is on empty! "OKAY! Great! My day now officially sucks! Now I have to stop to get gas, which is going to make me later than I already am, on top of no breakfast and a cold shower!" Scream out a few %#@&* into the air, start blaming everyone and everything for my day, and proceed to have a very horrific one!
We have all had experiences like those described above. We set the stage and like a magnet, we draw toward us that which we intend. When we remember to choose wisely, it makes the biggest difference in the world.
Energy is Not Good Nor Bad
Energy is natural and neutral. Some people think of 'natural' as 'good', which certainly makes more sense than thinking of it as 'bad', but really it's just natural. Illness/unhappiness is not 'bad energy' that has to be 'got rid of'; but it may be energy that needs to move to a different place or different location, needing to be shifted, or it may be setting the stage for some big opportunity.
Energy Moves
Energy is not static..it is always moving, shifting, changing...when we try to keep things from moving, think what happens! Know a person who is a control nut, always trying to keep things within arms length, tightly guarded and wrapped up in neat little packages? How does that work for them?
Energy Does Not Disappear
Energy does not go away, it doesn't poof and disappear some where never to be seen again. Energy changes form. Energy Is....always!
Energy is Infinite
Viewing life from a culture of scarcity, the basic rule implies there isn't enough to go around. We are often taught to take what we can while it is there, because there may not be enough for us tomorrow. It works on the emotion of fear...lacking enough of what is needed for safety, security, health, etc. I would like to suggest to CANCEL THAT THOUGHT, it's not even remotely true. Working with energy we are working with ABUNDANCE, with PLENTY - which is itself a powerful healing message. To 'give energy' to someone is not to impoverish ourselves; in Reiki, we are an open channel, letting energy flow through us, absorbing what we need as it flows outward to others.
As we work with subtle energy with more awareness, we will develop that intimate connection that provides a "knowing" on a very deep level that spreads well beyond the normal realm of understanding, and into the world of mystery uncovered.

Subtle Energy: A Researcher's Point of View
Below is an article by Paul Von Ward, MPA and M.S., a researcher and writer in the fields of consciousness and frontier science.
"Subtle energy" refers to the medium through which consciousness acts on the realm of matter and energy. According to a National Institutes of Health study, at least 52 terms are used for "subtle energy": chi, prana, holy spirit, manna, ether, orgone, biomagnetism and zeropoint, among many others in our current vocabulary. Regardless of the label, it appears to contribute to many phenomena not currently explained by conventional science: telekinesis, remote sensing, telepathy, gut or heartbased intuition, healing by prayer or other psychic means, biocommunication between species, etc.
Since these phenomena have tangible effects that can be documented but not explained by the known principles of the electromagnetic (E/M) field of matter/energy, they require that we hypothesize another force through which conscious intent acts on the affected objects, senses and cells.
Some researchers believe a fuzzy part of the electromagnetic spectrum, beyond gamma rays, constitutes this force but that it has not yet been discovered due to the lack of refined instrumentation. Just as the harnessing of radio waves and Xrays had to await the development of new technologies, say these researchers, the development of more advanced machines will enable humans to make use of this fuzzy E/M field.
Others, including myself, work on the hypothesis that this force/field exists in correspondence but parallel to the E/M spectrum and may not have the constraints of that spectrum, such as the speed of light. More elaboration on the implications of this hypothesis for theory — David Bohm and other physicists' concepts of nonlocal fields of energy or information — and research — spacebased experiments that challenge the speedoflight limitations on the transfer of information — comes in subsequent articles. Here we focus on the work of one subtle energy researcher: Cleve Backster.
Backster's work in the late '60s and early '70s was an important impetus for the best selling The Secret Life of Plants by Peter Tompkins and Christopher Bird. In the '80s, his work was chronicled by Robert Stone in The Secret Life of Your Cells.
His research journey started with the 1966 almost accidental rediscovery that plants are sentient and respond to the spontaneous emotions and strongly expressed intentions of relevant humans. (J. Chandra Bose of India had demonstrated a similar principle in the early part of the 20th century.) Using an instrument to measure galvanic skin responses (GSR), a part of his polygraph or lie detector stockintrade, Backster attempted to determine whether it would measure the moment of rehydration of a plant whose roots were freshly watered. It did not but to his surprise, the GSR meter registered his threat to burn the plant leaf when he spontaneously thought of the idea.
(Prior to that experience, Backster was noted as one of the foremost experts in the use and interpretation of the results of the polygraph test. Over the last 30 years he has maintained that reputation, and enhanced it. (In fact, his refinements on previous polygraph techniques have earned him a worldwide reputation; they have been validated by the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Lab.)
His mastery of the theory and practice has benefited thousands of specialists who have participated in or learned from the principles taught in his San Diego based Backster School of Lie Detection. He now serves as an advisor or faculty member for several research and educational institutions. These extraordinary professional credentials are important because the same scientific acumen and experimental rigor are applied to his research (observed by me during several days of lab work with Cleve in February 1998) on what he calls "Primary Perception" and others call "The Backster Effect.")
Subsequent to his accidental discovery, an amazing series of experiments demonstrated that the expression of genuine emotion and intent by humans caused measurable reactions (primary perception) in the cells of leaves, fruits, and vegetables. They also reacted to behaviors or changes in states of animals and insects. Conversely, in what Backster labeled "fainting," plants ceased their normal functioning when horrific treatment (burning, scalding, and chemical destruction) was continued on the parallel materials or when the presence of hostile individuals was introduced into the lab. This reaction seems to correspond to Shock Syndrome in humans. More detailed protocols demonstrated that plants possess some discriminatory capability, making them capable of distinguishing individuals who have either destroyed related plants or have very positive intentions; they seem to know who has the sentiments to become a "green thumb."
Experiments with leukocytes (white cells) indicated that a bond of communication exists between an individual's thoughts/emotions and his cells after they are removed from the donor's body. Backster collects cells from the mouth of a donor through a standard clinical procedure, connects them to the electrodes/meter apparatus, and measures their reactivity to the donor's emotional shifts. These shifts can be caused by the donor's voluntary initiatives or their involuntary reactions to events or images such as observed in photographs or movies. Splitscreen videography of the donor's behaviors and the metered responses of the cell cultures, when other causal or random influences are ruled out, demonstrates some form of communication.
Using a Faraday cage and lead containers to shield the plant, eggs or yogurt used to sense the biocommunication, his experiments appear to rule out the E/M spectrum as the medium of transmission. Tests done with a distance of over three hundred miles between a donor of white cells and the lab indicates the communication bond is not affected by distance. The action and reaction appear to be simultaneous, like the splitpair photon experiments by physicists that show one half of the pair reacts instantaneously to actions taken on the other.
Over the last thirty years literally hundreds of experiments have proved the existence of this biocommunication known as the "Backster Effect." My own personal participation in one of these experiments left me without a doubt that a culture of yogurt in a shielded cage showed extraordinary reactions to feeling that were stirred up in me and two female colleagues as we discussed controversial gender and power issues. Interestingly, the yogurt did not react to periods of intellectual discussion about the same issues; it only became agitated when our comments were charged with emotion.
On the basis of this brief review, two characteristics of "subtle energy" communication are clear:
• It happens only when behaviors, thoughts or talk are based in emotions or serious intent. Words or ideas per se do not elicit a reaction unless they have been energized by some force, such as "subtle energy."
• Some process of prior attunement between the sender and the receiver is necessary for the communication link; some higher level of awareness or, at least, frequency resonation is apparently involved.
While we do yet understand the full nature of the communication involved, nor the qualities of the medium, some implications emerge from Backster's research.
• The demonstration of "subtle energy" communication supports the morphogenic field concept postulated by Rupert Sheldrake and others, where an intent-laden force field is transmitted from some beings to others through an as yet unknown medium.
• The reactions occur at the instant of expression of intent, not when a preset test is administered, thereby requiring a rethinking of scientific protocols related to the replication of experiments in the area of psi research.
• The existence of interspecies communication at this level demonstrates the singular and, apparently, universal nature of consciousness.
• The medium involves the apparent existence of a force that can transfer intentions into changes in the physical realm.
These implications alone lead to new hypotheses and experiments for better understanding of the power of innersense communication, healing prayer, self healing, and the dynamics of interpersonal hostility and attraction. They suggest practices for interbeing openness and protection. Such directions will be explored in more detail in subsequent articles.

Reiki Healing & The Chakras
Video Introduction to the Seven Chakras
As used in Reiki Healing. The Chakras represent key points between physical and the subtle aspect of a person.States of mind influences the chakras, and therefore also the physical body. When the Chakras are purifed our consciousness can awaken to higher awareness and insights.
. And here is the rest of it.
