Self-Love Reiki
A lack of self-love is at the root of every challenge and self-sabotaging or self-limiting choice we make.-Christine Arylo
If you're not familiar with Reiki or energy healing, try this before you continue reading. Hold out your hands and turn your palms so that they face each other, as if you are holding a big ball between them. Then, gradually, shorten the distance between them until you feel an energy between your hands. That is your energy, but when you direct it to yourself on your own behalf, or to someone else, that is a form of energy healing. As they get closer, you are likely to feel more & more energy between your hands, and you may feel them get warmer.
This is just a start to the info on Reiki, but I thought I'd have you try it, and if you want to know more, let me know. It actually fits right in with self-care and mindfulness, but learning it full out means making a commitment to heal, and is not really something you try on a whim.
What I may do, if anyone wants to try it, is offer you guys a brief Reiki distant healing session on Zoom. Would you like to try that? If so, post in the group or pm me about it.
Meanwhile, try this - place your hands on your heart (like in the picture) or place one on your heart and one on your belly, and set the intention to connect to the Reiki I am sending out. Also, intend a connection to the energy of love or self-love if you'd like - I have included it.
Bagua Vision Board
Intentions are so incredibly powerful and are the foundation of a successful vision board. For each section of the Bagua, create a clear intention for yourself. For example, in my Travel & Helpful People section, I want to travel to Bali and go back to Tahiti. Do this for every section of the Bagua. You can have several intentions for each Gua. - Inner Sanctuary Design
(found on Google)
This is a new way to create a vision board, based on an ancient practice (feng shui). You choose what you want for the holiday season or for next year, and you place it on your vision board in the areas that correspond to that design in the picture.
If, like I did, you think you missed Julie's vision board workshop, you have not - it has been rescheduled for Monday, the 13th. So you could combine the workshop with this vision board style if you would like.
13 Sacred Days & Nights
The overwhelming stress and chaos of the holidays distracts us from the true and potent magic available if we were to quiet down, simmer down, and tune in. The dream seeds you plant in the rich darkness of the 13 Holy Nights are like turbo-charged New Year’s resolutions. Rather than simply writing down a list of intentions you actually do the things, activities and practices you want to strengthen or develop in the coming year; you actually see or otherwise connect with the people you would like to have in your life; and you actually engage with the world in ways that bring you joy and happiness. A very real energetic imprint is created and stamped into a riptide of energy that is literally swept right into your future. It’s legit magic. - Lara Day
The first of the 13 nights begins on Christmas Eve. There are several ways to use this practice.
Some people set intentions and then seek intuitive guidance about them, and others seek guidance and then set intentions, accordingly. But it is meant to be a time of turning inward and at the same time, looking ahead to next year.
Some people have the intention that each night will speak to them specifically about the months of the year. So the first night is 2022, in general, and the next is January and so on.
To me, that feels confining and seems deterministic. I don't really want an exact future prediction, but more an indication of what is meant for me next year, or what is possible. How about you?
Would you like more info, and/or to stay connected during that time? It can of course, be limited to weight and eating, but I very much doubt that it would be.
Let me know what you'd like to know more about and we can either do a Zoom or a live, or I can add more info here on the page.
Merry Christmas!
Love, Jeanine
