Wholistic Health, Nutrition, and one small step to create change

This is an opportunity to say yes to wholistic health, and to send a message to those making the laws that it is of the utmost importance to change our sick care system into a healthcare system which incorporates nutrition and preventative health. I know we can make a difference, and this is just one small step we each can take in taking back our systems and promoting what we know is good and true.

If you agree with what is stated in the video then I know you will want to sign and share your link with others. To the health of our body mind and spirit, and to creating positive change one person at a time. :) Much love.

Hospitals Offering Reiki

Below is a wonderful list of hospitals that DO offer Reiki and other complementary modalities. Many strides have been made to integrate the Eastern and Western modalities of healing. 

I have decided to send this list to our hospital here in Las Vegas, St. Rose.   The Las Vegas Diocese made the decision to remove Reiki from their “integrative medicine” services being offered. It was the decision of the Diocese I was told, and they have no plans to reinstate this modality.

St. Rose still offers Reflexology, Herbs, Hypnosis and massage. I am happy they still have what remains, but am frustrated that this has occurred. I believe there are always solutions, so I shall focus on that, but thought others may be interested in the hospitals that have these services, often for free to patients. 

My mother, who had breast cancer, was given Reiki both before and after her operation when she was at a CT hospital to have her lymph nodes removed. She told the doctor after the lymph removal that she had NO pain, which is quite unusual. The doctor’s response was, “Wow, I hope I can do that again.” :) He was a wonderful doctor, and my intention is only to advocate that there be an integration of the two or more types of medicine – primarily East and West. 

My mother is now cancer and pain free, and the integration of both types of medicine allowed her to be less stressed and more comfortable throughout the process. The Reiki volunteers in the hospital were wonderful.

What is Reiki?

 

The blue healing energy from an energy healing session

The blue healing energy from an energy healing session

As a way to begin to demonstrate the power of vibration and intent, I would like to share a very personal experience I have had with Reiki.  My mother contracted breast cancer several years ago and, despite an operation to remove the cancer, it still spread to her lymph nodes.   While my mother was in the hospital to receive another operation that included removal of lymph nodes, she was offered Reiki sessions from me, but also from hospital volunteers, both before and after the operation.  

After her operation, and a few sessions of Reiki, the doctor asked her how she was feeling.  He wanted to know about her pain level.   This was when she described to the doctor that she had NO pain at all under her arms, or anyone else, despite having just been through her lymph node removal (no pain pills either).  The doctor smiled, shook his head, and said, “Wow, I hope I can do that again.”

There are other wonderful and amazing stories to share, such as fibromyalgia lifting in one session,, pink eye going away in 2 minutes (mine!), an ankle operation being cancelled after one session of Reiki, and more, but the one of my own Mother touches me deeply.  She is now cancer and pain free, thanks to the integration of both Eastern and Western medicine.

I am posting the following Reiki article by Libby Barnett below, in response to the questions some of you are asking.

 

WHAT IS REIKI?    By Libby Barnett, M.S.W.

Reiki (Ray-Key) is an ancient, gentle, hands-on healing art that helps you feel better and heal better. Dr. Usui, a Japanese Christian educator, rediscovered this healing method in his study of ancient Tibetan texts. You can use Reiki to facilitate deep relaxation, relieve pain, and promote healing and personal growth. Reiki stimulates your body’s innate healing resources, encouraging a return to wellness.

Reiki means Universal Life Force – the healing energy of the universe. The attunement ceremony empowers you to transmit Reiki energy through your hands. Once attuned, you have this ability for life and can use this healing energy to promote balance and harmony on all levels of your being.

What Makes Reiki Unique?
Reiki is a complete system of self-healing.
Reiki blends easily with and enhances all healing methods.
Reiki is very simple and can be immediately implemented on yourself and others.
Reiki gently releases old emotional patterns.
Reiki is an effective tool to overcome the pressures of career, relationships, parenting, and finances.
Reiki enables you to access your own inner wisdom and creativity, as well as expand your consciousness and spiritual awareness.

Libby Barnett is a gifted Master Teacher of Reiki.  She is also the author of a book entitled, “Reiki Energy Medicine,” which can be ordered from her website http://www.reikienergy.com.

Much love to you all, Wendi

The Ascending Spiral

 

Your unique light and truth reflected in a prism of color

Your unique light and truth reflected in a prism of color

We heal ourselves and others with the truth of our hearts. Once we speak our truth, we no longer spin aimlessly, but instead, vibrate with authenticity.  The pain lessens.   This sacred act of saying our truth releases energies we allowed to encumber us that no longer resonate. We attract clarity through our truth vibration, and the chaos starts to organize. When we speak our truth, we define and enhance the spiral of our unique light. 

Releasing the truth from within our heart and giving voice to it, can offer healing to the body by clearing the energetic centers and meridians.  When we share our truth with the world, we are sharing our light and love. We are telling people:

“I am here, and  I exist.   I am present for you, as I am present for me.  I am reflecting and connecting with the world, because I am alive.   My breath adds to the winds of change and life, just as yours does.”

When I say, “yes” to life, I move towards joy.

When I say, “no,” I create clear lines of definition.  I clear the path for more joy.

“No” is neither bad nor good, it just is…your truth.  You are defining the spiral.

When we step into our truth, we reclaim our soul and shine our light brilliantly.  ”I am here,” we say.  By sharing our truth, we are connecting with other human beings on this journey.

We say, “hello, and I love you.”  

Or sometimes, “I care about you but no, that is not my path.”  

Sometimes, “No, that is not my truth.”  

“Yes, I am moving, but in a different direction, so that I can shine my unique light into this mosaic of life.”  

When we shout out loud, “Yes!” or “No!”  we brighten the hue of life, and create a path for others to also define their light and life. We all share the same source, and yet are different expressions of that source, and therein lies the beauty of life on earth.

Shining my unique light and sharing my unique truth makes the world a clearer, more beautiful, and more interesting place. We are unlimited refractions of the same light. We sparkle.

So, will you speak your truth?
