Reiki

Reiki is a technique for encouraging deep relaxation with the understanding that the body heals itself when resting. Come and feel the healing, soothing and loving effects of Reiki energy. It is so much more than can be described here since each person's experience is determined by their own soul's needs and intentions. If distance is an issue, you can also receive a healing via long distance! Come give it a try. Your body, mind and spirit will thank you. And you may very well discover that you're powerful beyond your expectations.

FIRE CEREMONY

Many of us are mesmerized by fire, and as we spiritually mature, we must ask why. Fire ceremonies are the center of all spiritual practices and common among all ancient and native cultures. A fire ceremony is the most powerfully transformative of all rituals. Each fire ceremony offers us the opportunity to use the source of all light to amplify our intentions and oblations. The divine lives in the fire. The ritual feeds and nurtures her. As one teacher puts it "fire is living spirit, not a symbol of God but God herself."

Mayan fire ceremonies are major events, lasting from 2-4 hours, not counting the set-up time. It begins with the invocation of the four directions, then the ancestors, other living clans, places in nature, the elements and, sometimes, every conceivable spirit guide in the universe, regardless of faith, culture or location. Sometimes the tone of the ceremony is somber, other times it may be fun-filled and light. This depends on who is the ceremonial leader, the group of participants and the intention for the ceremony. One thing consistent is the results of ceremony are healing, uplifting, clarifying and community building.

DRUM CIRCLE

Everyone has extrasensory perception or psychic ability to some extent, even you. When we lay down and make ourselves comfortable and listen to the steady beat of a drum at say...120 to 130 beats per minute, our brain waves will shift into a theta state. We thus enter into a light, aware trance much like lucid dreaming. Our personal experience of this state may vary each time we journey. You might experience vivid sensations and or sounds while another person might have technicolor visions similar to watching TV. As individuals we discover which of our senses are heightened in this state - sight, hearing, sensation, even smell. All our sensory experiences that take place in a shamanic journey have meaning. Our experiences offer messages which we can then decipher in order to understand our own communicative abilities and personal symbology. We may Journey to the Lower, Middle or Upper Worlds. We may seek out Power Animals or Spirit Guides, Ancestors or Angels to ask them questions about things, events or ourselves in relation to our lives. We may journey to meet the Spirit that resides in a drum, rattle, staff or new tool that has decided to enter our lives. As a shamanic practitioner, I facilitate shamanic drumming and journeying for small groups. Beginners are always encouraged to attend.

REIKI INFUSED THERAPY

There is not one of us who gets through life without painful events. Sometimes, the open ear and open heart of family, friends and/or spiritual beliefs can be enough to heal. At other times the pain or confusion is deeper and is better helped with a therapist who can help us in a safe and confidential environment to talk out the problems.

I have discovered that the most effective way to make positive, rapid change is through a combination of psychotherapy and energy work. In this way mind, body and energy systems work together to create the most positive whole-person resolution. Some people say they feel better, and are more excited about living, than they have in a very long time or ever!

For those who are not interested in energy work, traditional psychotherapy is available as a stand alone treatment.
