Anglican Priest Uses Reiki

I am the Vicar of St John’s Read and St Peter’s Simonstone, near Burnley, Lancashire, England. I have always had an interest in medical matters including complementary therapies. About three years ago I was browsing a bookshop and came across several books about Reiki but at the time didn’t do anything about this.

Later that month I was ministering to a woman who was terminally ill with cancer. It turns out she was receiving Reiki treatments. She had been one of my church ’stalwarts’ . The Reiki didn’t save her but I have never seen anyone face death with as much composure as she did. After her death I reasoned that perhaps Reiki had something to do with her outlook on her situation. That same week I received through my door a program of courses for a local college which offered Reiki training. Curiosity made me enroll and I have never looked back.

Nowadays I am a Reiki Master and have also taken Karuna training.
Looking back these events seem to be more than mere coincidences (synchronicities/divine guidance…)

I currently practice Reiki for the benefit of my parishioners and their contacts, some of whom are chronically ill with MS and ME. These I have attuned to first level and they are treating themselves; all attest the benefits.

I have never found any incompatibility between Reiki and The Christian Faith as I have experienced it and being able to help people in their health has been immensely enriching for me and for them as in my ministry I try to imitate Christ.

Benefit of Reiki 1

April 1, 2009 – 12:30 am

The benefit of Reiki ( Grade 1 )

( With the first Grade the pupil is able to give themselves Reiki as well as others by laying on hands .)

Women in this modern days often are stressed out from different jobs, childcare, homecare as well as worries for the future.I decided rather than writing an general article about the benefits about Reiki for women to write about my own experiences (about 17 years ) . I just think that will be more personal and perhaps easier to understand and down to earth JIn the beginning of my journey through life with Reiki I had a huge house ( old farm house) a little sanctuary for animals with up to 15 cats, 2-3 dogs, birds, rodents and injured wild animals, as well as young children, a big garden, my studies , a business and a husband :) After the first attunement I had to get inventive and creative in where and when and how to give myself as much Reiki as possible.

I gave myself Reiki in small breaks

In the bath tub

While watching TV

when going to bed instead of reading a book

I tried to organize as much as I could to have a at least 3 times a week the time to give myself a long and proper Reiki Treatment , which means to have one hour undisturbed with music , fragrance and candlelight.

Of course often I felt asleep with it , but my Reiki teacher told me..

The Angels will give you Reiki if you really can’t do it :)

I also noticed that my skin became very soft and smooth due to Reiki and my general looking changed slightly. I seemed to to gain a natural glow. This is due to the deep cleansing effect of Reiki as well as relaxing and nourishing through the life force.

Children

As all mothers will do I went with every illness to the Doctor with my children and used the treatment the Doctor prescribe for them However my Doctor knew that I would also use Reiki in helping them to recover.Often my children or the children of my friends would come and ask for my warm and shiny hands :)Reiki with the 1. Degree helped so much in comforting my children in many different occasions.

Like

Colds , coughs and fever

Burns, bites, bad dreams,

Children illnesses

Feeling sad or simply unwell ( not ill )

Relaxing them to find sleep.

I had been blessed as they never became serious ill.However there is many information in the internet of how Reiki is helping with fatal diseases, which is really amazing.

When they were a little bit older I attuned them into Reiki and they gave each other Reiki and to their friends. I remember my daughter telling me that the nurse of the school sent out to look for her as a friend of her felt sick and was in the sick room . This little girl told the nurse . She does Reiki and this will help me J So my daughter came and gave her Reiki. After a while we had a couple of children attuned to Reiki and they often gave each other Reiki in times of need in school. :) It was beautiful to see them caring in such a way for each other.

My husband

I was one of the lucky women in that time as my husband was open to receive Reiki and so I gave him often Reiki ( when he was there ( business man) or when I had the time. It was relaxing him and small health problems due to stress went away real quick . In fact it also helped our personal relationship in many aspects. One of the things I learned was to leave my hand on his heart chakra before I went to sleep either on his back or on his chest. This created a beautiful atmosphere in the room ..

However Reiki will not help to have a life long lasting marriage if it is not meant to be , as sometimes people will grow apart , which had happened in our marriage, but we are still great friends. Our relationship was simply to have this beautiful children and to give them a good start in their first 10 years in the country side with loads of love and nature.

Animals

My animals went to the vet as fast as possible after they came to me or if the ones I had became ill. My vet knew that I do Reiki and I must say it was amazing how Reiki could help their healing process as well help them to trust humans again.

Looking back I wonder how I would have coped without Reiki :) It was a wonderful but very stressful time . I feel grateful that I was introduce to Reiki . It definitely had changed my life. After I received the attunement in Reiki Grade 2 . I was able to send distant healing and also the energy of Reiki became stronger. Distant Reiki is not only for healing but also for healing situations as well as “programming “ events, situations and more positive.

I will continue to post something about my experiences with Reiki 2 on a later date.

Thank you for reading :)

What is magic

October 26, 2008 – 11:22 pm

 sunsethouse.jpg

What is magic?
Is it the wonder of a rainbow at the sky? A beautiful flower in blossom radiating its fragrance for us to feel enchanted? Walking in the light of the moon with the stars above? Seeing a stranger smiling at you in the middle of a city? Magic is in the air we breathe the water we drink the earth we stand on, the warmth of the fire. It is within us, and around us. It is beyond us. Magic is to live life in a self-responsible way accepting that we are divine beings a part of all creation.
Magic is also known as the knowledge of the flow of the returning tide. In the sea of consciousness and experience.

div171.gif
What does this mean?
Whatever you send out in words or actions will come back to you. We create our own reality out of our thoughts, experiences, feelings and actions which played out in our life. If we believe that, than we would have to come to the point that all suffering of people is self created as well. In fact it is that we create or reality and the reality of others too. We are active beings talking and being involved with many humans in our daily life. We are a part of a society no matter where we live and what we do. I can hear some people saying: I always do this, but my life is just as it is and it seems that nothing is going better with positive thoughts and actions. In those moments it is even more important to use positive visualization and the feeling how you would like to have the situation. In doing so our situation will change after a little while.
Another important thing is to put our attention on the positive things on the result we want to gain and not the situation as it is. In doing so we are opening us for the new energy of the result we want to achieve. If we acknowledge that we can sow spiritual seeds through our thoughts and actions at the place were we are and what we do, our harvest will be full of abundance. To sow these seeds blessing is a wonderful way. Forgiving all what is happened to others and us and yet do what we need to do. Having gratitude in all what we do and experience. We do not have to say blessed be to everybody we meet or see, a pure smile a lovingly word can do so much. In our hearts we can bless all what is there.
Have you ever noticed how a smile can change the atmosphere? What a loving touch can do at the right time and place? Sometimes a little wonderful story can lift up the spirit of many people. A song which is sung at the right time and place. Sometimes birds will do it in the nature and will lift up all the energy around them. The idea behind Blessings is in the believe that there is a beneficial force in the universe and if we connect us with this force Blessings will bring positive benefit to others and ourselves. This force can be called Goddess/God/Great Spirit. In believing in this great force wisdom and power is gained for the goodness of all. Love can conquer all.A real Blessings is always given in the trust to this force and without attachment of receiving. An attachment of receiving is another way of the ego, of not letting go and grow. This is not a superficial way and on this path we will find helpers.
In magic we often can find wonderful helpers in the plant kingdom and animal kingdom. As we are all living on this planet called earth and in ancient believes it is said that we are all on a journey so the animals and plant are as well. They are only different beings created from the same Great Spirit we came from and in acknowledging this as your little friends and as divine beings they are more than happy to help us on our path. Each one of them has different “skills” to offer. In respect of their friendships and blessings their medicine will be very powerful. To thank and bless them in return is creating a wonderful circle of love and friendship. It is also good to help them through projects. Like planting trees, donating money to a rescue centre and much more.

I can hear now some are saying. Well, I do that all my life, but it does not work. I don’t seem to get what I want and my life does not change into the direction as I would want it to be. I want good things to happened and obey the laws of the free will and yet nothing seems to happened.

div171.gif

Many times we forget about the Oneness ,that we are all linked together in the web of life. The trust to the Higher Power which some call Great Spirit, Goddess/Good is vital for us, as this is showing that we do know how to work with the Oneness.

In trusting we know that all is already given what we are wishing for. To know this is to feel happy about it , full of joy and having this energy around us all the time. Every tought is a prayer to the Universe Great Spirit and every action is an act of demonstration of how we are allowing the UniversE. to manifest our prayers. Can you believe that your dreams are coming true ? Do you feel that it is already given ? Have you ever noticed that sometimes if you pray the sun comes out behind the clouds ?

This can be the sun in our outside world or in your inside world .. Great Spirit is blessing you affirming you.

Many people do not notice and being not aware that your inner or outer enviroment is responding on how you feel and think. Sometimes it may help to raise your vibration in chanting inside yourself again and again : Thank you that I am healed, or whatever you have been wishing for. In this you are opening your doors for receiving it in the material world. It like a bit like waiting for the postman to come to deliver your parcel. You need to be at home to receive it and if you are not as you are doubting all or keep out sending the thought I wish I could have this ..

The wish will remain and not much is going to happened. Being at home means the trust and thankfulness is within you in your daily life and in all your actions. …

div171.gif

What do you truly wish for?

Wishes can be curse or a blessing. We need to know what we truly want and it is important to wish for the right thing in harmony with all that is. If you wish for a new car .. have you thought about mother earth ? Wish for a car which is environmentally friendly and not pollution all that is. Be thankful if it is there and use it with care as long as it can last, as every single thing on this planet is only a gift from other resources. Giving and taking needs to be in balance. In some old traditions we had to give a gift to someone after our wish had been fulfilled. Donate to a charity give to someone who needs something. It is a circle and we are all in this circle of Oneness.

May the returning light make all your dreams come true as in its waxing and growing.

Eagle Story

eaglefree.jpg
Freedom and Jeff

Freedom and I have been together 10 years this summer. She came in as a baby in 1998 with two broken wings. Her left wing doesn’t open all the way even after surgery, it was broken in 4 places. She’s my baby.

When Freedom came in she could not stand. Both wings were broken, her left wing in 4 places. She was emaciated and covered in lice. We made the decision to give her a chance at life, so I took her to the vets office. From then on, I was always around her. We had her in a huge dog carrier with the top off, and it was loaded up with shredded newspaper for her to lay in. I used to sit and talk to her, urging her to live, to fight; and she would lay there looking at me with those big brown eyes. We also had to tube feed her for weeks.

This went on for 4-6 weeks, and by then she still couldn’t stand. It got to the point where the decision was made to euthanize her if she couldn’t stand in a week. You know you don’t want to cross that line between torture and rehab, and it looked like death was winning. She was going to be put down that Friday, and I was supposed to come in on that Thursday afternoon. I didn’t want to go to the center that Thursday, because I couldn’t bear the thought of her being euthanized; but I went anyway, and when I walked in everyone was grinning from ear to ear. I went immediately back to her dowl cage; and there she was, standing on her own, a big beautiful eagle. She was ready to live. I was just about in tears by then. That was a very good day.

We knew she could never fly, so the director asked me to glove train her. I got her used to the glove, and then to jesses, and we started doing education programs for schools in western Washington. We wound up in the newspapers, radio (believe it or not) and some TV. Miracle Pets even did a show about us.

In the spring of 2000, I was diagnosed with non-hodgkins lymphoma. I had stage 3, which is not good (one major organ plus everywhere), so I wound up doing 8 months of chemo. Lost the hair - the whole bit. I missed a lot of work. When I felt good enough, I would go to Sarvey and take Freedom out for walks. Freedom would also come to me in my dreams and help me fight the cancer. This happened time and time again.

Fast forward to November 2000, the day after Thanksgiving, I went in for my last checkup. I was told that if the cancer was not all gone after 8 rounds of chemo, then my last option was a stem cell transplant. Anyway, they did the tests; and I had to come back Monday for the results. I went in Monday, and I was told that all the cancer was gone.

So the first thing I did was get up to Sarvey and take the big girl out for a walk. It was misty and cold. I went to her flight and jessed her up, and we went out front to the top of the hill. I hadn’t said a word to Freedom, but somehow she knew. She looked at me and wrapped both her wings around me to where I could feel them pressing in on my back (I was engulfed in eagle wings), and she touched my nose with her beak and stared into my eyes, and we just stood there like that for I don’t know how long. That was a magic moment. We have been soul mates ever since she came in. This is a very special bird.


On a side note: I have had people who were sick come up to us when we are out, and Freedom has some kind of hold on them. I once had a guy who was terminal come up to us and I let him hold her. His knees just about buckled and he swore he could feel her power coarse through his body. I have so many stories like that.

I never forget the honor I have of being so close to such a magnificent spirit as Freedoms.

The hope of a new beginning

January 2, 2008 – 3:13 am

Today we entered the first day of the new gregorian year 2008. Just for years away from 2012. Every day is a hope of a new beginning, but on days like this we become more aware of the blessings of a new beginning.

It is also one more time to be focused of what we really want and wishing for regardless of all the bad predicitons that we get from the media.

According to the Mayan Elders , 2008 is still a dangerous year, but only in that sense that we really have to focus ourselves of what we really are.

Love is the key for all “problems” and the only one solution.

Enjoy the clip and may your new year be blessed with peace and love

Jake the magic dog and a box turtle

November 22, 2007 – 7:26 am

magic-eyes.jpg

In one of these beautiful early summer days I was sitting in a back yard of a friends house underneath a big bush with beautiful white flowers. A small wood was just behind the fence of the property. Birds where singing and some butterfly’s where dancing in the air. I was sitting there and meditating about the Rune Ur again.

A Rune that is all about living on mother earth. The global situation of our planet came into my mind with “global warming, peak oil, pollution, freak weather, wars terrorism.

Jake the magic dog that was attached to me like a Siamese twin was somewhere around me. I was lost in deep thoughts, and heard suddenly a gentle woof and another woof, woof.
I wondered where Jake the magic dog was, and could hear him behind a little house on the property close to the little wood. Few seconds later I was with him and saw a “thing “ dark colored with orange almost completely under a pile of leaves and rubbish.

Jake looked at me with ??? What is it ?? I looked at him in the same way and thinking: You are an American dog, you are supposed to know it better than me.
My first thought was “a snake”, as I learned that there are three dangerous snakes in Virginia, but my feeling was that this was something different. I carefully took the rubbish away and saw a turtle.
A turtle, who abandoned it?
This was my first thought, as we do not have wild turtles in the woods in Northern Europe. I took the turtle and placed in a box and left some lettuce with it , until I knew what to do with it. I went on the Internet to find out more and to my surprise I learned that wild turtles do live in North America.
This little being however was a box turtle. The website said that we are blessed to have one of these turtles alive, as they tend to get rare due to dogs, cars and environmental changes. It was also said that the best place for them would be in nature with a creek. In my mind I questioned if the little wood in the back is the right place for the turtle and so I prayed for inspiration.

After a while, I went back outside to have a look at this turtle, with a very interested dog watching every single movement and step of me. The turtle started to move in the box and so I picked it up and like a toy it started to “walk in the air “ in my hand, facing the little wood. Well this was the answer for me and so I blessed the little creature and sat it free in the little wood. The little box turtle showered me with turtle blessings and left me with many questions.

Why did the turtle show up to me?
I had a look in the book “Animal speak “ and found the answer.

The turtle is about mother earth. That if we love and honor mother earth she is providing us all with, what we need while living on her. We have to open our senses and listen to her and her beings, that my come in different forms and shapes. Feel her; love her and all her beings. Love is the key. We can not leave mother earth until our journey here has an end, as the turtle can not leave its shell.

I lied down with Jake and closed my eyes and felt the present and the teaching of the box turtle. Happily laying down with the magic dog we began to dream .
