Reiki classes in Autumn. Midland Ontario.

I look forward to September. Every year.
Everyone else gets excited for summer. And when it's over, they are so sad.
Not I.

For years and years, summer has been ALL about work work work. (except for that one summer, 4 years ago, when I took the summer off and went into insane debt in order to do so. Another story. Another time.)

So, summer comes and I get anxious. I book my days so full, with all the things that I do. Being mostly self-employed is like that, and I live in cottage country. So, work like a horse all summer, and think about all the days off you'll have in January. And February. Sometimes December, and March too.

I'm sitting here, looking so forward to September. Because the town gets quieter, my work load gets lighter, I have less to juggle, and can spend time being in love with the beautiful area I live in, cleaning up the yard, and relaxing.

Right now, though, I'm planning my Reiki course, and looking forward having the TIME to relax with students and clients. Knowing that I can have some time once a week to chill in my tarot room with some relaxing music, while the September sun is still warm and loving.

I think I'm just an Autumn person, anyway.

Reiki Classes in Midland Ontario

I'm thrilled to be JUST SO CLOSE to ready to start up the Reiki classes in Midland Ontario. My manuals are just all edited and ready to go to the printers, Certificates for the students are all set for personalization!

In Level I , you will learn about the history of Reiki as a healing modality and tool for enlightenment. You will explore how Reiki works and begin practicing using this amazing energy with yourself.


In Level II , you will learn how to perform Reiki from a distance as well as how to use aspects of the Reiki energy to clear unwanted habits and manifest your goals.

In Level III, you will learn how to teach and perform attunements on others wanting to utilize Reiki for themselves.

Using Reiki in my own practice has added such a beautiful energy to all my other healing work. I use in in my Reflexology sessions, and when I do psychic and medium work. I have been a Reiki Master since April 2016. 

 These courses can be used as a way to enhance personal growth and/or work on any imbalances within yourself or those around you.

Individuals wanting to add Reiki to their current practice or wanting to begin their own Reiki practice will benefit highly from this course.

Also, individuals wanting to teach Reiki to others will have the material they need to do so once they have completed all of the courses.

I'll be teaching these courses in my downtown Midland office. Connect with me through my website, to inquire about Reiki courses in Midland Ontario.

Tarot with Reiki with The Little Witch, Midland Ontario.

As well as being able to read tarot for you, or do medium work, I have been attuned with Reiki levels 1, 2 and Masters (which means I can give Reiki, do long distance Reiki. I can give Reiki to goals, groups of people, or places, and also teach Reiki.) Reiki compliments and enhances the effects of other healing methods, going where it is needed and do what is needed to facilitate healing.

Often when people come to me for a reading, they are also experiencing blockages in their energy body. Reiki balances the subtle frequencies of your energetic body. Reiki healing techniques are based on the principle that the therapist can channel energy into the patient by means of touch, to activate the natural healing processes of the patient's body and restore physical and emotional well-being.

Having Reiki before a reading can open you up to receiving the answers you are looking for, more easily.

The Perfect Day

Today was a perfect example of a perfect work day!

I suppose it's not really work. Because I love what I do. I feel like I'm doing my important THING here on earth.

Today at 9am I met a lady at my office. I did a Reiki / Quantum Healing session for her. Only the spa light of the oil diffuser was on, and it was sort of dark. Not too much light through the window that I've hung with rainbow coloured scarves. The room smelled lightly of Frankincense, which I chose specifically for its uplifting properties.

At 11, I went to another lady's house. She has her own reiki table. Our session was held in her happily painted and decorated livingroom. She saw and felt much the same flow and colours of energy as I did. We chatted excitedly about it after her session, and she fixed my necklace for me.

At 2pm I had a Reflexology therapy session in my office at the Wellness Centre. We put the cozy blanket on her and played the light and happy relaxation music, while I touched the pressure points on her feet. After a bit of chat, she fell asleep. I love it when clients are comfortable enough to fall asleep.

Now, there are lots of perfect days. Some of them I read cards, or channel loved ones. (They come in nice and loud in my tarot office.) Some of them have Reiki / Quantum Healing. Some of them have Reflexology. Some of them have Holistic Massage. The best days have a happy balance between a few of these modalities.

I am so thankful for today.

Lookit Mah Office! Psychic Tarot Readings Downtown Midland Ontario

So, there are still things to go up on the walls (Like the heavy clay sun, and the sun mirror in the picture below) but, it sure is nice to have the office space for readings!

Saturday and Sunday readings are THE BEST. My new office space is super relaxed for me, I can be as loud as the voices need me to be. The readings have been fast and furious!

The office space is small, but it's big enough! If the reiki table is out, the chairs and tarot desk have to get tucked into a corner. I'm excited to get some paintings up on the walls, and get the books in that I have for sale.

This is where the magic happens, folks.
522 Elizabeth Street, Midland. Woots!

Pay What You Can Energy Healing, Midland Ontario

The new office! Four more days! I'm excited!

How do we all feel about pay-what-you-can Energy Healing sessions?

This is something I've wanted to do for a very long time. I have the reiki table, I now have the space. I'm feeling SO ready. My ideas are to either make one day a week, or perhaps one day a month, open for Pay-What-You-Can sessions. What do you think? Other than that, energy work would have a regular day to day price.

The energy work works well alongside my psychic and tarot readings so very well. Having a private room, in an office building (that ISN'T my home!) makes me feel like it's time!

What do you think?

New Party and Reading Schedule

We're getting into the busy time of year for me! And a change in scheduled availability for live readings. (Email readings will still be done for the most part on Fridays, unless there are many and it trails into Saturdays. But I'll keep you posted on the Facebook page about that!)

So, parties will be available exclusively on weekends, during the day or evenings.
One on one, Live-in-person reads will be available on Thursdays in the office, or weekend days in Midland, Ontario and area. (Which includes Penetanguishene, Lafontaine, Balm Beach, Elmvale, Victoria Harbour, Port McNicoll.)

I've listed the current party availability HERE. When we get a little further into the year, I'll have special walk in days listed here, too.

My suggestion is for you to book as early as you can, if you're hoping to have a party with me this spring and summer!

Blessings!

Have YOU Tried It? First Accupuncture Treatment Ever!

I had my first Accupuncture Treatment EVER!

Yes, I was a little apprehensive. And then I had to laugh, because I have TATTOO'S. How could I be scared of one little needle, when I've sat for hours getting a hundred little needles??? Too funny.

He treated me for my lungs and general wellness. And said a lot of things about meridians and Yin and Yang energy. Mostly stuff I couldn't concentrate on, because he was tapping needles in me. Haha!

BUT, this morning, I'm so happy to report, I didn't have to use my inhaler! Usually I use it before I even open my eyes in the morning. I've been awake for 2 hours now, and it's SO curious to me! I keep sitting still to be conscious of my lungs... and realizing "Nope! Don't need the inhaler right now!"

I'm pretty tickled.

The needles were super small, (thin) and although I was aware of them, I wasn't in PAIN. There is a point between the thumb and first finger that is STILL AWARE.. and it was a challenge to try and forget about it during the treatment.

I think I may have found a new THING to add to my wellness regime.

Have you had Accupuncture Before? What was your experience?

Four Epic Dreams, Reiki 2, and I Want Cola.

It's 9 days in to my first Reiki Attunement. But, guess what? I can feel that all that crazy healing has absolutely BURNED through me. (Dear Goddess, that was a challenge.) A very very interesting challenge.

So, I think in a day or two, I'll be doing my second attunement. I'm excited and nervous, and although it is advised generally to wait before you do your second, (up to 3 months) It's just FEELING right.

I have met people who will do their 1 and 2 in ONE single weekend. How in the world do they cope???

I had FOUR epic dreams last night. All of them had to do with me being in some sort of school system, where I was a silent teacher - I was an elder in all of them, not formally a teacher, but all the kids came to me, appreciated me, and looked to me for guidance. All of them had me in a place where we, as a society, were 'stuck'... either we couldn't leave the cave, the hotel, or the school, for reasons that were for our own 'safety.' And in all of them, I was 'breaking the rules.' Teaching the children to think for themselves, or brainstorming problems in ways that went against the grain of the society, or figuring out ways to leave the places. Also, in all of them, there was a force that was trying to make me stay PUT. The energy of this force was attempting to scare me, but in each I would have none of it.

I'm glad I took the time to write all of them down. The first two I wrote around 5am?? Then slipped back to sleep, to have the other two. All four were completely different environments, but upon reading what I wrote, they all had these common elements.

Which to me, says it ALL.

ON another note, I haven't had a caffienated tea in days. I have had no coffee. (this was all part of the cleansing that was going on...) My beloved has cracked a cola beside me, and I WANT one. I haven't had cola in...AGES. I'm going to boil the kettle and sip an herbal tea... but I'm not sure that's going to squash this craving. (We don't even have any honey in the house to help me fix the peppermint or the Lucid Dreaming tea I love so much.)

Blessings!

Fusion Reiki Day 3.

It is Wednesday. It is the night we have Yule Log! (which means I have to go out and get a Yule Log, as well as bake cookies, and finish up the readings in my inbox. Which I really should be doing now instead of blogging...)

It's the 3rd full day of my Level One Reiki. I have been experiencing some VERY intense cleansings. As with just about everything I do, this is also a FAST and furious energy cleanse. And it's all been physical, so far. The tweaked shoulder has now become just a shadow of anything at all. My head feels clearer, no white spots today.

And last night my root chakra started to work out it's blockages. Physically uncomfortable, but all the while I was satisfied that all is working out just as it should - I can't even describe how light I've been feeling!

So, after doing a little research, It seems as if this first reiki healing decided it was first going to clear my heart chakra. Then it moved to my Third Eye chakra. And now it's boogied on down to my root chakra. In three days. FAST.

I'm guessing because I didn't specify I should need this to be slow and steady and gentle, is why it's burning through me so fast. However, a 'fast and furious burn' is the way I work best, I think. (something has happened in the last little while, and my Aries has nearly completely taken over, where my Taurus used to be. Could that be part of it?)

I've also, in this same time period, tapped into a very strong Mastermind source (ULC) and a brighter, shinier, GLOWING ME is emerging. It's pretty fantastic.

However, I hear that the dishwasher has stopped,and now I must go bake cookies.

Blessings!

What is Reiki?

by Rev. Jason Storm

Reprinted with Permission.

What is Reiki?

Reiki is a modern version of an ancient healing art that utilizes the intrinsic ability of one to heal him/herself by activating it with the energy of the Universe. The energy that comes from the source of all consciousness, The Creator, "God", or whatever for you might identify with it. During a Reiki treatment energy is passed from the Practitioner or Master to the person (or animal, or plant, etc.) that wishes to be healed. The energy does not come from the practitioner as the healer is only a vessel for the transfer of energy. A Reiki practitioner has had a special attunement or series of attunements that open his/her energetic system to receive and transmit the flow of energy. The Reiki Master has achieved the highest level of potential openness that a person can receive on the physical plane. A master is also given the ability to pass attunements to others and thereby becomes a vessel for the Divine consciousness at work in our Universe.

Reiki is not and cannot be harmful, it is the substance of life. The healee must have the intent to be healed for the energy to be transmitted. It doesn't matter whether or not they believe that subtle energy such as Reiki exists, they simply must want to be healed. No matter what the dis-ease is, Reiki will bring healing (but it should be noted that the healing may or may not be in the form expected or desired -- Reiki does the work, not our desire.)

When a practitioner accesses Reiki energy is drawn through the crown chakra at the top of the head, flows down to the heart chakra, then out through the hands. As the energy flows into the practitioners body it quickly fills him/her with energy as a kind of battery to buffer the flow into the recipients body and any excess is grounded out through the root chakra at the base of the spine. For some people the direct flow of energy from the universe may be a little much for them to handle all at once. The Reiki practitioner has been opened gradually so that their energy body can safely accept, maintain, and transmit the energy where it is needed. So whenever energy is given, the practitioner is also healed.

In Reiki there are three attunements, one for each level of healing. First Degree Reiki opens and clears the physical body to the Reiki circuit. The crown, third-eye, heart, and palm chakras are opened and the spinal vessel is cleared to allow a consistent, constant flow of energy to be initiated and maintained. There is commonly a period of clearing or cleansing in which the physical body begins to release the toxins built up within, and this is quite normal, it happens to us all. Some of the physical manifestations of this clearing can include diarrhea, runny nose, sweating, increased urination, nervousness, loss of apetite, and mild mood swings. The symptoms are only temporary and will pass within a couple of weeks.

Second Degree Reiki is a deepening and squaring of the energy of the First Degree, and three special symbols are tuaght to amplify and more specifically direct the flow and type of energy transmitted. At this level, distance healing and healing of situations is taught and mastered. There is also a clearing period at this level, but this deals with emotional/mental toxins. Many people report finding themselves re-addressing old unresolved issues, some find their belief structure being refined and in some cases even redeveloped. Again, this is temporary and will pass within two-three weeks.

The Master Level of Reiki involves one or two attunements and intensive training. The energy level is again doubled and squared, all of the chakras are aligned, and the Master symbol is transmitted to the new Master. How to give an attunement at all three levels is taught and must be mastered, the structure of energy, the energetic body, the aura, and the levels of being are taught and must be mastered. The clearing at this level is frequently fully experienced during the attunement itself. Many students report out of body experiences, visions, flashes of memory from previous incarnations, premonitions, prohpecy, etc, the experience is almost always mystical and ecstatic. Tears are very common.

...And Another Thing...

This Reiki is turbo boosting me into ... I dunno where!

This morning my tweaked back was nearly better. Then, something new. The "white spots."
Let me explain.
It's been some time, but I occasionally get "white spots" in my vision. It's similar to when you look into a light bulb, and then see the light in your eye wherever you look. Except when I get them, I'm half blinded, and they just 'come'.
Now, I had a strange little spell back at the beginning of March this year. To cut the description short, it had symptoms of stroke, bells palsey, seizure, and migraine. All at once, without being any one thing. After the checking the things they COULD TEST FOR, they came to the conclusion that maybe I'm having migraines. (I lost ability to make the right words, among all the other symptoms.) Oh, and when I get thse migraines, they aren't the kind that there's any headache associated with it, so I don't even know when they are coming on. It's the white spots and the inability to coherently form WORDS.

So, this morning, when the white spot was in my vision, I had to just stay calm. Knowing that, this is the Reiki attunement, making all the emotional stuff come out. So, again, WHAT is this? What does it represent? I breathed, let my sweetheart know what was going on (do NOT be alarmed, but this is happening right now...) and then calmly carried on through my morning.

All was well until about an hour ago at the studio, when my pupils decided they were dialating, and the world went foggy. The last time this happened without warning, was the day they dug up the ossuary, and I got a big energy buzz. Now, again, to clarify, THIS thing happens when I'm doing a psychic reading; dialated pupils, general foggy vision (because I'm seeing into somewhere else and I'm not focused 'here'.) and a certain feeling takes over my body that I can't put words to right now. A slight numbness is the closest I can do right now.

So, when this happened today, I stood up and said "I'm listening." and again remained calm. Although I was conscious of where my phone was, just incase, and glad the walls are so thin between my studio and the offices.

The feeling passed, but the voices are LOUD today. Not abrasive, just very clear. Very adamant. I was very clearly told it was time to leave the studio, then they didn't want me to walk a certain way home... really asking for a lot of trust.

As I write this, the B38 'spot' is 97% better. This makes me happy. I wonder what exactly that is that I'm clearing up, back there. The vision/possible migraine thing is making me quiet and contemplative.

Ok, I feel like I just had to document this, as a part of this cleansing journey. I really am onto something completely new with the opening of the ministering of healing ability.

I want to write more, but I must collect pixies from school.

Blessings!

edit: found this while surfing. yes, this is exactly what's happening.

Reiki cleans house.

What's coming out...

It's funny to have such an enormous feeling of being in the right place at the right time, and that everything is just as it should be... and to have this sudden back pain.

Yes, I'm positive it's related to the Reiki. That's what it's supposed to do, after all, rebalance the energy and blockages. (Reiki or healing touch itself doesn't cause the pain.)

My first attunement was Saturday evening. The next, Sunday morn. This morning (Monday) out of nowhere, my right shoulder blade suddenly felt as if I had pulled it. I wasn't doing ANYTHING when this came on. I'm having a difficult time moving my neck, I can feel the pressure of it in the right side of my tongue and jaw, down to my ring finger on the right hand, and in the right side of my lungs.

So, what does this MEAN? I"m working on my pressure points but am trying to figure out what it is that this means. So I can work on clearing the problem. The point of pain is in the acupressure position of B38, on the right. And the internets aren't telling me what that could represent emotionally, physically, mentally.

But it wants out, what ever it is. So I must breathe.

Healing Minister, Reiki Level 1

In the last 24 hours, I've completed Reiki Level 1, and have become and ordained Healing Minister.

I'm filled with abundance, and have spiritually and physically celebrated these things! (There were no chocolate almonds in the house, so I had to settle for chocolate covered raisins.)

I feel like I've been waiting for any stuck, stagnant or weak energies to start to clear... which usually means being physically uncomfortable in order to let them pass. My nose was a little runny, but since around 11am has been completely cleared. I'm not noticing anything else unusual. I feel calm, yet energized. I feel focused, positive, joyous, and ready for the magic.

Plus, today, I was given a most eye opening vision, which gave me unlimited hope for the future I'm creating. (We Are Creators!)

I've also picked up a brand new spirit guide with these first few attunements. He came quite suddenly, all smiles and positivity. He's BIG, larger than life, happy, and so so so full of energy. He helped me do a reading this afternoon (which had honestly taken me over 3 weeks? to sit down to.) and It came out fast and furious, with the help of this new guide.

I feel absolutely full of love.

So, becoming an Ordained Healing Minister is part and parcel with the Reiki. The laying of hands is a spiritual practice, and becoming ordained lends Reiki a more serious authority. Being an Ordained Healing Minister keeps the Reiki/Healing Touch treatment as such - as opposed to being considered a medical treatment.

I am also available to do Pagan/Wiccan handfasting now! (although, not weddings - yet!) Isn't that exciting? Handfasting can be a yearly ritual to announce your intention of partnership, or a way to announce your engagement and intention to marry.

As well as Affirmations of Love ceremonies, And House Blessings.

Now, Universe, I am going to require a clean and comfortable reclining chair for the studio for Reiki Attunements.

Which will be offered on a free/donation basis, ofcourse! My Reiki Level 1 will take some time to complete, and I will want to do as many attunements as possible before moving on to Level 2.

Love Love Love!

I am thankful for this day and all it's abundance. I am thankful for all the joy this day has given me. I appreciate all of it.

Life is Good.

Spirit Guides and Chocolate Almonds

Spent some time messing around with the Blog Talk Radio. Oh la la. I'm excited about this thing. I don't have it set up to take live callers yet, and I don't run it with a co-host - It's all me! So, you'll all need a little patience while I iron out the kinks.

For the most part, I'm planning that each show will have a little time to chat, and a little time to do a few readings - what I'm aiming for is these readings will come in through email. And, bear in mind, that the show is only going to be about half an hour long at first - so I'm figuring I'll get at most 3 questions in.

I'm also wanting the querent of those questions to be on the chat at the time of the show - (there's an instant messaging type chat on the page when the show is live. So much fun!)

I'm going to be putting together a bit of music (local artists) to transition us in and out of segments (again, doing this on my own, with only my big brain and hopefully my Guides will rush in with important knowledge about this stuff!)

Once I get the platform down, I'll move into taking live callers, etc. My goal here is to really keep it as simple as possible, connect with those of you who are ready and willing, and have some fun!

Put it in your daybook: Sundays at 2pm: Spirit Guides and Chocolate Almonds . The shows do archive, and that archive will list on my Lori-Grace Reads Tarot blog.

Blessings!
