Angelic Reiki

Last weekend I did first and second degree Angelic Reiki training with the lovely Zena and Neil of Crystal Heaven. The whole weekend was simply amazing and I was delighted to receive my Certificate on the Sunday evening.

Although I'm not going into detail about the weekend, I do want to share just a couple of things with you and the joy of working with Angels.

During our second attunement I suddenly felt a cool breeze across my face and around the back of my head. "Blimey," I thought, "this is strong stuff!" Logic kicked in - I thought someone had opened a window or even put the air con on, but our floorboards are so creaky that I would have heard someone move. The breeze continued throughout the attunement and when it was finished I immediately looked at Gill (my business partner at Como) - she had felt it too.  The windows were all closed but the air conditioning had been switched on! No one had touched it.  And then it went off! The aircon had never switched itself on or off before, it is not automatic, it is the middle of winter and freezing, the aircon is off! Mmmmm, are the Angels playing with us?

Around 10-15 minutes later and an almighty bang almost shook the building towards our back window. Gill and I immediately got up to check what had happened and as we approached around a dozen white feathers floated down past our window! Once again logic tried to kick in; had a bird flown into the window? Impossible because we are on the top floor, the roof overhangs the window and the feathers had floated from way above the roof. We even went downstairs to check for injured birds - nothing. It had to be the Angels.

You see, you just have to be ready and open to see the signs that they give.

Highs & Lows

This time of year always brings about time for both reflection and anticipation and I spent most of yesterday reflecting over 2014 and everything it brought for me - the lows as well as the highs. I have learnt over the past year that you have to have some low points in order to learn and grow; to bring balance. I'm not always sure what my lesson is, but I trust that it is needed. I have also learnt to really enjoy the highs, to be grateful and to let it move on when the time is right.

One of the highs for me in 2014 was to have my son home for Christmas. He arrived on his birthday - 24 November - and left again on Boxing Day. I had a whole month with him and I enjoyed every single moment of it. Yes, I was sad when he left, but I knew it was time for him to move forward in his journey. We talked a great deal while he was home and I am so proud of the man he has become. We now travel the same pathway, albeit at different rates.

The greatest honour for me during his stay was to take him through Reiki Level 1. I cannot begin to describe how blessed I felt - not only did he want to embrace Reiki but he wanted me to be his Reiki Master!

Was this my highlight in 2014? It was one of many.
