Reiki Quick Tip – Feeling the Reiki Energy in the Beginning

By Josslyn Streett, Reiki Master/Teacher for Rain Shadow Reiki Energy Healing Center in Sequim, WA

I know it’s sometimes hard to feel the Reiki energy when working on ourselves, especially in the beginning when we are new to Reiki and our hands and bodies are not as sensitive to the energy yet.

This will change with more practice, it will. Your hands will get more sensitive to the subtle energy and your mind will learn to be still and be able to tap into the feelings that the subtle energy creates. Don’t be so hard on yourself, machines and science cannot detect this energy, but humans can FEEL it.

However, feeling the energy is what makes it so magical, so mystical and helps us feel so connected to our Higher Power. Feeling the sensations of the energy is what most of my students tell me they want, but don’t feel, when working on themselves- at first.

I always feel the Byoseen (subtle energy feelings) much stronger when working on others, so in the beginning, I just worked on other people a whole lot, every chance I got.

**But knowing that daily Reiki on ourselves is the most important thing we can do for our own healing, how do we motivate ourselves to work ON ourselves when we can’t FEEL the Reiki running?

Quick Tip to Feeling the Reiki in the Beginning

**When doing a Reiki treatment on yourself, hold your hands an inch or two above your body. We can often feel the play of energy off the body better if we are not touching it directly. This works great for self treatment or treatment on others. Give it a try and see if you feel a difference or not. Once we can feel the energy more, we are more motivated to actually DO our daily self treatment. Some people feel the energy more on the body, try both ways and see what works for you. Pretty soon, you’ll be feeling it no matter how you DO IT.

Hope this helps. Have fun with your Reiki. Try new things and listen to your Divine Reiki Guides, they will give you ideas like this too.

Reiki Blessings,

Josslyn

Reiki Quick Tip – Brighten Your Light

By Josslyn Streett, Reiki Master/Teacher for Rain Shadow Reiki

I wrote a blog a while back about a Reiki Pick Me Up, about working with Reiki in each chakra to energize yourself and get through the day when you feel tired.

But, this technique can be used in other ways as well, energizing yourself is just one of them. This same technique is used as a quick way to strengthen and grow your energy and that of your auric field, in other words, Strengthen Your Divine Light Within.

I have learned this technique from multiple Reiki Masters, first in my Reiki Master/Teacher class from my teacher, Catherine Morris, as we use it to brighten our energy field and bring in more Divine Light into our field before doing attunements.

Then I learned another use for it during my Reiki Drumming class from my teacher, Michael Baird. He used the phrase “Strengthen Your Light.” It strengthens and expands the Divine Light in our energy field and helps us to feel the Divine Energy more strongly before working with Reiki or doing other spiritual activities.

I also like the term Brighten Your Light, because I also brighten my energy field by singing the song “This Little Light of Mine” and it reminds me of that song and ability to brighten our own lights with our intention and attitude. Whatever you call it, find a way that works for you to enlarge your Divine Light within.

The more you practice this, the more healthy your energy field will be on an ongoing basis. Do this each and every day to feel happier, healthier and more content with life in general. These are all benefits of a healthy and happy energy body.

Here is one way to do this:

HOW DO I STRENGTHEN MY LIGHT?

For Reiki I…

Sit in your Gassho, center and ground yourself and call in your Reiki guides of the highest order.
Hold the intention that you want the Reiki energy to give you a boost in energy to get you through the day or whatever intention you feel is best for you for the greatest good.
Starting with your root chakra run Reiki energy in your chakras from bottom to top for as long as you feel necessary or for about thirty seconds to one minute each. (If top to bottom feels better to you, then do that. It’s all good and there is no wrong.)
After running Reiki on your crown chakra run Reiki all throughout your aura with the intention of energizing you.
Closing Gassho and go!

For Reiki II and above…

Sit in your Gassho, center and ground yourself, and call in your Reiki guides of the highest order.
Activate your symbols in your hands. I do this by drawing each symbol in each hand and saying their name three times, one symbol at a time. This helps me to feel the energy on my palm, knowing it is flowing. (Tip: The more you draw the symbols out, the more powerful the energy to come and more quickly.)
Starting with your root chakra draw the Power Symbol (CKR) and in each of your chakras from bottom to top draw the power symbol with the intention of MORE DIVINE POWER. (If top to bottom feels better to you, then do that. It’s all good and there is no wrong.)
After drawing the Power Symbol, CKR, in your last chakra, draw a large CKR in front of you activating it and bringing it into your body and aura.
As you bring the large full-sized Power Symbol into your aura and body intend MORE DIVINE POWER and your aura and personal space DIVINELY PROTECTED!
Do your closing Gassho and go!

I Pray many of you give this a try when you are needing that pick me up and that it helps. Let me know how it works for you.

Love, Light and Blessings to all of you,

Joss

A BIG THANK YOU to my teacher, Catherine Morris, for teaching me this technique as part of our attunement process. So grateful for ALL you have taught me!!

A BIG THANK YOU to my Reiki Drumming teacher, Michael Baird for helping me to see more uses for this technique.

Reiki Quick Tip – Reiki Welcome Mat

By Josslyn Streett, Reiki Master/Teacher for Rain Shadow Reiki in Sequim, WA

To make your guests feel more welcome and keep your home clean of ‘outside’ energies at the same time, REIKI YOUR WELCOME MAT!

This is particularly important for me since I work much of the time, out of my home. My kids live here, my pets live here, I LIVE HERE! I want to keep the yucky stuff OUT of my house. This process helps.

WELCOME

Before a class or workshop, I put Reiki II symbols into my welcome mat on the front porch to bless each person coming in (CKR), cleanse off the old energy guests might bring in (SHK) and to help them to calm their mind and leave their stress and emotional issues outside (also SHK). It helps everyone inside to have a better time, whether it’s a party, a Reiki circle or class, or friends coming over for a play date. The energy is all calmer, happier and feels better if Reiki helps them leave their issues at the door.

COME ON IN

This one is fun and reflects that I love cats, also, beware if you are allergic.

Then I put Reiki II symbols in the welcome mat on the inside of the door for energizing energies (CKR) coming into the home for excitement of a Diving kind. This helps to raise the vibration of the energy coming into the room. I put the Mental/Emotional Symbol (SHK) on the mat for a calming and loving feel in the room. If the person’s Higher Self doesn’t want the Reiki on the mats they don’t have to take it, so we are not infringing on their boundaries. It’s all in the intention when we place the symbols in the mats and we are putting Reiki into the mat, not into the person. Either way, the space around each person is still clean and clear, safe and sacred from the Reiki, helping to lift the vibration in the space which helps to lift the moods of everyone who comes into the space. It’s a win/win and you all know I like those win/win situations.

Noticing a Difference

Now that you can leave your stress behind you, you can breath easy.

I’ve started this as a regular part of setting space before a class or circle and people say they have noticed a difference. In one class I had one of the students comment that she was really stressed before she came. But as soon as she got into my house, she felt much better and had a great time in class. She was worried before she came that she wouldn’t be able to leave her ‘stuff’ outside. When I told her what I do with the welcome mat, she really felt the Reiki Welcome Mat helped with this. I did too.

Another fun new technique to try, Namaste

In Love and LIght,

Josslyn

Reiki Quick Tip – Reiki Your Email

By Josslyn Streett, Reiki Master/Teacher for Rain Shadow Reiki in Sequim, WA

Joss’ Dramatic Email Story to Draw You In

Years ago, before I knew Reiki, my husband and I were in the process of buying a franchise business. It was an enrichment activity place for children and would help children to learn how to feel, understand and relate their emotions more powerfully and spiritually. It was amazing. However, after months of planning, preparation and training, we had severe ethical differences with the owner and ended up severing ties with her and the whole business idea. It was the death of a dream for us.

Emails can carry the good or 'bad' energy of the person who is sending them. — Emails can carry the good or ‘bad’ energy of the person who is sending them.

Unfortunately, it was the death of much more than that too. Our beloved dog Marley died at exactly the same time in an accident. It was an accident, however, I still felt at fault and felt a great deal of guilt over the situation. I was grieving our family member and our business dream at the same time. We didn’t know where to take our dreams from there, it was just too painful to move on. It was a very hard time especially since I didn’t have nearly as many coping skills as I have now with Reiki.

THE POWERFUL EMAIL

NO, don't open that!! — NO, DON’T OPEN THAT!!

At the same time of us feeling defeated, depressed and in limbo, the franchise owner’s friend sent me a scathing email about the situation. She, of course believed her friend to be ethical and didn’t believe us. The email was extremely unkind but even worse, she powerfully put ALL of her emotions into the email as she wrote it and transferred them to me when I opened it. As soon as I clicked to open the email, I felt fully every hurtful emotion she was feeling towards us come through the email before I even read it. It got into my auric field and brought me down like a ton of bricks. I was still grieving and working through my own fears and issues with leaving the business behind and feeling responsible for our family member’s death, so her email and the emotional energy that came though with it, easily got into my unprotected auric field and exacerbated any difficult emotions I was already feeling ten fold. I got physically sick on top of the depression and had trouble functioning for weeks afterward. I didn’t fully realize at that time that an email could carry energy like that and affect me to such a degree. I finally realized what was happening and started meditating and doing some healing work that I knew at the time to help me remove this energy from my body, mind and spirit. Over time I got better and was able to put it behind me. This is obviously an extreme situation, but it is the extreme that sticks with us and teaches us some of our biggest lessons. And I learned an important one, REIKI YOUR EMAILS, COMING IN AND GOING OUT!!

HOW REIKI HELPS US THROUGH OUR EMAILS

When we Reiki the emails we can neutralize any less than loving feelings we may be having at the time we write the email, so the other person doesn’t receive them energetically. We can also neutralize any of those same feelings that may be coming IN on an email from someone else BEFORE it gets to us. We all have stressed or negative feelings from time to time, but we don’t need to be sending them out to the world or to our friends via emails and pm’s.

BONUS: When we Reiki emails going out, the Reiki will help to heal any less than loving feelings we are having at the time too. It’s a win/win.

We do not need anyone’s permission to do this because we are not sending Reiki TO the person, we are sending it to the email, surrounding and protecting the energy of the email. We are sending Reiki to the email so it is full of positive love energy. If the person on the receiving end chooses to take some Reiki that comes with the email, that is between them and their Higher Power.

HOW TO SEND REIKI LOVE WITH YOUR EMAILS

As always, this is my way. Feel free to use this one or trust your higher self, your Reiki Guides and you own personal knowledge to come up with a way that feels right for you.

Reiki incoming as well as outgoing emails with this process:(also snail mail, Facebook, etc.)

Gassho- Hold your hands in the prayer position at your heart and ask Divine to send down the Reiki. Hold your hands in prayer position at your third eye and ask Divine to send down your Reiki Guides of the Highest and most Sacred Order of Love and Light. (If you are in a hurry you don’t always need to do the Gassho, as long as you do it much of the time. Or you can do this in your mind, silently without the movements if you are at work.)
While I have the email or message that I’m sending pulled up on the computer screen, I simply hold up my left hand flowing with Reiki towards the screen with intentions that it’s getting to the email, every letter, word, paragraph and space. I imagine the email and the Reiki flowing to it. (If around other people, simply do this with your eyes.)
Let the Reiki flow with intention. You can visualize the Reiki flowing into the email, dancing around the letters. Flowing through the message or just melding with its essence. Intention: Clean and clear, safe and sacred.
If you have Reiki symbols – I like to use the CKR sandwich; 1. Start with a blessing symbol like the Power Symbol (CKR) or a master blessing symbol (UDKM or TDKM) for the intention of sending blessings to the email and anyone who reads it. (We can send a blessings symbol without permission.) 2. Then I send in the Mental/Emotional Symbol (SHK) and chant in my head the mantra with my intention, ‘clean and clear,’ three times each. This will clean the email of any stress or emotion that you are feeling when you write it.You can chant the Reiki symbols in your head with the intention that they are flowing out your hands and into each individual email you are sending out. 3. End the sandwich with the Power Symbol (CKR) for energizing the email to the perfect balance for you and the person receiving it.
Reiki your email until you feel it is enough.

You can use this process for letters, pm’s or other forms of communication.

Thank the Reiki and your guides! Send the email with Love & Light!

I hope these blogs are helping you to open up your idea box about what to use your Reiki for in your daily life. Every time you work with Reiki, your life becomes more spiritual and in a lot of ways, easier. Go with the flow baby!!

In Love and Light,

Josslyn Streett

Reiki Quick Tip – Reiki Your Feet!

By Josslyn Streett, Reiki Master/Teacher for Rain Shadow Reiki in Sequim, WA

FEET

A reminder that our feet need Reiki too and HOW to do it!

This topic keeps coming up at the Reiki circles each month. At the circles we have other people working on us and our feet get lots of Reiki. Typically we have three to five people surrounding us at Reiki circle all practicing Reiki at the same time. It is inevitable that someone will be at the feet each time. My husband is a foot person so he loves to be entrusted with that area during circle. I prefer the head or the body. We do our best to move around during circle so each person gets to experience a different side and perspective, but we still tend to have our most comfortable areas.

Poor Ignored Feet

I admit it, I am not a foot person. I don’t like to have people massage my feet, tickle my feet or even touch my feet. Just not into it. So, I also admit, I’m the first to skip my feet when I’m doing a Reiki Self Healing. There, I admitted it…I skip my feet! I get down to my knees and then think “Ok, that’s good, I did my self-treatment.”

7200 Nerve Endings In Our Feet

It is good. Better than not doing it at all, but our feet work very hard for us, every single day. They deserve more attention that I’m giving them, and maybe your feet do too.

Another reminder – Our feet are also critical to our whole bodies’ health. Every nerve line in the body ends in the feet. According to the RAA, each foot has 7,200 nerve endings in it.

And while reflexology practitioners sometimes talk about manipulating “energy,” the basic theory seems to rest with these nerve endings, which would love to be massaged, energized and activated with Reiki also. Reiki is always gentle and safe.

As well, we have a nice sized chakra in our feet which very importantly brings up Mother Earth energy for grounding. No surprise with the way I have ignored my feet that this is a continual issue for me. No judgment, we all have our issues. So, you can see, as a reminder to myself and all of you, our feet need more attention than we are giving them. Reiki is the perfect, gentle way to give your feet that attention whether you love to have your feet touched, or not. Thank goodness, with Reiki you can do it either way, touch or no touch.

Excuses

Traditionally taught method of doing a self-treatment on your feet. My son modeled for us on the fly. Photo by Joss Streett please link if used.

Our feet are probably the most uncomfortable to get to. It’s an awkward position to lift our feet up and do Reiki on them on our lap. I have many clients who physically cannot do this due to age or physical issues. Then others like me who get so far and then finish or fall asleep before the feet get Reiki.

HOW TO REIKI OUR FEET

We talk about this in Reiki I beginning class. I’m thinking most teachers probably cover this. But, since this topic keeps coming up at circles, I figure a little reminder doesn’t hurt.

HOW to Reiki Your Feet

Traditional method – put one foot at a time up on your lab and do hands on Reiki on your foot. Two hands on one foot at a time. One on top and one on bottom works nicely. (see photo above)
My young son beaming Reiki at both of his feet at the same time. This is much easier on the body for people with physical limitations. Hold your hands where most comfortable. Photo by Joss St, please link if used.
Beaming method – Simply put your feet up on a cushion, ottoman,on the bed or even keep them on the floor, and beam the Reiki from your hands to your feet. One at a time would be best but to beam Reiki at your feet at all, at this point, is all good.
Eye beam – beam the Reiki through your eyes, with intention, to your feet one at a time or at the same time. This may take practice if you have not done it before, but what better way to practice this than by doing Reiki on the hard to reach feet?! Simply hold the intention in your mind, body and spirit that you are beaming Reiki through your eyes to your feet and then look at your feet. Imagine this is working and ask Divine to send your Reiki guides to add help for you. They will give you insight as to how to do this.

IMPORTANT

Please remember, the comfort of your body is important. You do not want to injure yourself in any way while doing Reiki. Do what feels good to your body first and foremost and the Reiki energy will flow more abundantly and with ease.

Reiki Symbols

Yes, definitely work with your Reiki symbols with your feet. I bet your feet will soak up the extra love and attention. Using grounding symbols at this point would be fabulous since your feet are one area where you may bring up Mother Earth energy for grounding. The Power Symbol (CKR), or the two Master Symbols (UDKM or TDKM) would work beautifully. And, of course, since with Reiki there is no wrong, work with any other symbol that your intuition advises for your feet. It’s all good!

I pray this little reminder will get some of your feet feeling the love very soon. I know my feet are much happier. Thank you to all of you who participate in the circles and help to bring so many blog ideas to share with others.

Blessings to you all,

Josslyn

Reiki Quick Tip: Reiki Your Luggage

By Josslyn Streett, Reiki Master/Teacher for Rain Shadow Reiki in Sequim, Washington

The Holiday season is here and many of us will be traveling to be with people we love. Nothing can spoil a visit with loved ones like lost luggage. The busier we are and the more people who are traveling, the more likely an accident with your luggage will happen. One year traveling on the train to come visit us, my sister had her entire suitcase of Christmas presents stolen. It didn’t ruin our holiday but it certainly put a damper on it.

The Archangel of Travel Lends a Hand

I had a healing/reading recently with a client who was going to be traveling out of the country with her two sisters. This was going to be their first trip together as fully grown women to their ancestral homeland. My guides alerted me to the fact that another woman was going and was possibly going to have luggage problems that would disrupt her mood the entire trip and therefore make the vacation for all of them not as spiritual as they had hoped. My client then confirmed that her sister-in-law would be going on this trip too. My guides told me that her sister-in-law is not grounded because she is going through a lot and this may cause energy imbalances in her own ‘universe’ that could lead to the luggage getting lost. My client agreed that her sister-in-law had a whole lot going on in her life right now and even more big events right before they take their trip. She agreed that this could very well be the case. Since my client wasn’t sure if her sister-in-law would be open to Reiki and grounding techniques, my guides recommended that she Reiki the luggage before the trip for her instead.

Nothing can ruin a vacation like lost luggage.

I also recommended that she ask Divine to send for an angel of the Highest and most Sacred Order to help with travel. The only angel that has come for me when I ask for travel help is Archangel Raphael. Ask Divine and receive, Archangel Raphael would go with them and the luggage to ensure safe arrival for all. It worked beautifully. They recently got home and all went well. They had a spectacularly spiritual trip and a wonderful time being together. Of course, there is no way to know if the luggage would have gotten lost, but why take the chance when it’s so easy to take an angel with you and Reiki your luggage. It only takes a few minutes to do some preventative Reiki work.

How To Reiki Your Luggage

As always, there is no wrong way to do this, other than not doing it. Even that is not wrong because if you know about Reiki, read this and still choose not to Reiki your luggage and it gets lost, then it was a wonderful learning experience. Nothing is ever wasted, we learn from every experience if we are open to it. But, wouldn’t it be easier to just spend a few minutes surrounding you and your family’s luggage with Reiki before you head out for an adventure? Yes, it would be. By doing this, you ensure you are in the flow with the Universal energies and they will be with you through your whole trip helping and guiding a long the way. If your luggage still gets lost, then it was a learning experience you couldn’t avoid.

WHEN

Before you leave the house is probably the easiest time to Reiki your luggage. While it’s all together sitting by the door, before you load it into your car, sit with it for a few minutes and run your Reiki through and around all of it.
If a big group of people are going and you won’t all be together before getting to the airport or even on the plane, use your Long Distance Symbol (HSZSN) and run Reiki from your home anytime before the trip with the intention of sending Reiki to all person’s luggage.
At the airport you’ll be a little more stressed and pressed for time, just activate your Reiki symbols if you have them and let the Reiki do the rest.
At the airport, if you forgot to do it earlier and are now a little rushed for time, simply draw the symbols of the Mental/Emotional (SHK) and the Power Symbol (CKR) over the luggage and send them with Reiki blessings.
Don’t forget to Reiki your car, your train, boat or airplane to assure a safe and secure travel experience.
And, always Reiki YOU!

HOW

I hold up my hands or imagine the luggage in my mind’s eye and the Reiki flowing to it.
Close my eyes and mentally/intentionally invoke the Reiki as if I were in the prayer position or the Gassho. Next, ask Divine to send down my Reiki guides to help me. I never do any spiritual work without my Reiki guides.
Let the Reiki flow with intention. You can visualize the Reiki flowing into the luggage, send Reiki symbols into the bags through your hands or through your eyes. You can chant the Reiki symbols in your head with the intention that they are flowing out your hands and into each individual bag. Set an intention of the safest and most joyous trip for the luggage possible. Use an intention that works for you and your travelers.
Reiki your luggage until you feel it is enough.
Thank the Reiki and your guides! Enjoy your trip!!

DON’T FORGET

Ask Reiki Source/God of your heart to send down the Highest and Most Sacred, the Best of the Best of travel guides to go with you and your family for a safe and
Archangel Raphael has been one of my healing guides from the beginning. He is the only guide I know of specifically meant to help with travel. Call on him for any travel needs. He’ll lead the way the entire trip.

joyful trip. Put any positive intention to how you want your trip to go: calm, blissful, serene, prosperous, positive relationships, etc.
You can Reiki the plane, your hotel you’ll be staying in, the rental car, your journey, anything and everything having to do with a safe and wonderful journey!

Many Blessings to you all at this magical time of year!

Reiki Quick Tip – Reiki Your Grocery Cart

By Josslyn Streett, Reiki Master/Teacher for Rain Shadow Reiki

I was in the grocery store with my son, waiting in a larger than usual line and I thought, “Wow, I could just Reiki all my groceries right here, right now and it’s done!” Brainstorm! Why didn’t I think of this before? It’s very simple, where else do you have all your groceries all in one place and a little extra time to work on them? (My kids are older, this may be more difficult for those of you with young active children. Get them involved and have them HELP you Reiki your groceries. Never too young to start doing Reiki.)

Grocery cart, bag, whatever your groceries are in, Reiki them.

WHY REIKI YOUR GROCERIES

You might say “Why Josslyn, would I want to Reiki my groceries?” Good question. Reiki makes your food healthier and more energized with Life Force Energy! That’s why!

How do I know this you ask? I have tested food with muscle testing and divining rods with my Reiki Kids group and got very specific results. When we did Reiki on food that was not organic, the energy field of the food doubled in almost every case and in many cases equaled the organic food. We had the same results when we prayed over the food. When we did Reiki on the organic food, the energy field stayed the same or changed too slightly to tell. It was already strong and healthy and full of life force energy. When we did Reiki on McDonald’s food it helped the energy field a small amount. But, the McDonald’s food started with NO energy at all. It was totally unreadable with divining rods at all. So starting with nothing, Reiki improved it some to at least make it have some life force energy. Not worth eating though so we threw it away. But, in some cases fast food may be the only choice available. Hopefully not very often, but even I partake every now and then. It’s good to know Reiki will help even this food a little bit.

Anyway, in every case, the Reiki improved the energy field of the food significantly. Big time scientific? NO, but good enough for me and the kids to understand that Reiki helps our food to be healthier for us and more energized.

Put Love and Intention In the Food You Make

I often Reiki the food I’m making for my family knowing that this is adding to the nutritional value of the food for the people I love the most. But, lets face it, life is busy and sometimes we forget. I usually catch this with prayers at the dinner table. If we eat out I quietly put my hands over my food and while others are talking and distracted I Reiki my food before I eat or I’ll say a quiet prayer beforehand. But, still sometimes a meal will slip through the cracks of modern active life. If we remember to do Reiki on our groceries while waiting in line, then we know it’s done and even if we forget at the dinner table or while preparing a meal, we know the food has Reiki energy flowing through it. For me, it’s like a Reiki insurance policy.

Reiki the food in your cupboards, your refrigerator, on your table for a big meal, etc. You get the idea. Reiki ALL your food!!

How

This is how I Reiki my groceries. As always, this is just one way, not the only way. Get creative and find what works and feels right for you. Since this is a public place and many of us prefer to be incognito, I do the Gassho in my head. Reiki is all about intention, intend for the Reiki to go to your groceries and it will.

I lean on my cart with my forearms and my hands hanging over the groceries.
Close my eyes and mentally/intentionally invoke the Reiki as if I were in the prayer position or the Gassho. Next, ask Divine to send down my Reiki guides to help me. I never do any spiritual work without my Reiki guides to help.
Let the Reiki flow with intention. You can visualize the Reiki flowing into the groceries, send Reiki symbols into the groceries through your hands or through your eyes. You can chant the Reiki symbols in your head with the intention that they are flowing out your hands and into your groceries. Set an intention of the healthiest food possible, delicious and nutritious, or whatever positive intention works for your family.
Reiki your food until it’s your turn to load the groceries onto the belt or give them to the cashier.
Thank the Reiki and your guides!

Taste

Now, I am fortunate enough to live in an area that has an abundance of local organic produce and meats. I now know how real food tastes. I do believe the Reiki helps the food to taste better too. But I have to say, buying local and organic is truly the way to get the best tasting and healthiest food ever. Yes, totally MY opinion.

But, life is as it is, our food has been tainted in many ways, even the air it grows in is not organic, so nothing is 100% clean, thus the Reiki Food Insurance Policy. Reiki your food!! Do it for a month and see how you feel about your food afterwards. Feel if your relationship with food has changed, your calmness at meal times or your desire for healthier foods. I’ll be interested in hearing how that experiment goes. At the least you add more spiritual practice to your life and your eating and that is always a good thing.

Blessings to all,

Josslyn

Reiki Quick Tip -Reiki Pick Me Up

By Josslyn Streett, Reiki Master/Teacher for Rain Shadow Reiki

We all have those days or times of the day when we don’t feel at our best. Many people use coffee or other pick me ups to get them through. My body doesn’t tolerate many of them, especially caffeine so I have had to come up with alternatives. Apples give a great boost, just like having a cup of coffee. I have an apple a day, usually for lunch. But at about that 3pm mark, I still get the sluggish tired feeling. Reiki is a great pick me up and I’ve already written how it can be like having three cups of coffee in one of my blogs which you can click and read.

But, this blog is about a simple and quick technique to do when you don’t have time to do a full healing or even a fifteen minute healing. When you are stuck for time, here is a quick, less than five-minute Reiki Pick Me Up that anyone can use who is attuned to Reiki to give them that extra boost of energy when they are feeling down. I use this technique often.

HOW

For Reiki I

Sit in your Gassho, center and ground yourself and call in your Reiki guides of the highest order.
Hold the intention that you want the Reiki energy to give you a boost in energy to get you through the day or whatever intention you feel is best for you for the greatest good.
Starting with your root chakra run Reiki energy in your chakras from bottom to top for as long as you feel necessary or for about thirty seconds. (If top to bottom feels better to you, then do that. It’s all good and there is no wrong.)
After running Reiki on your crown chakra run Reiki all throughout your aura with the intention of energizing you.
Closing Gassho and go!

For Reiki II

Sit in your Gassho, center and ground yourself, and call in your Reiki guides of the highest order.
Activate your symbols in whatever way works best for you until you feel the energy in your hands.
Starting with your root chakra draw the CKR Power Symbol, in your chakras from bottom to top. (If top to bottom feels better to you, then do that. It’s all good and there is no wrong.)
After drawing CKR in your last chakra, draw a large CKR in front of you activating it and bringing it into your body and aura.
Do your closing Gassho and go!

I Pray many of you give this a try when you are needing that pick me up and that it helps. Let me know how it works for you.

Love, Light and Blessings to all of you,

Joss

Reiki Quick Tip – Reiki…Better Than Three Cups Of Coffee!

By Josslyn Streett, Reiki Master/Teacher for Rain Shadow Reiki

My husband, Robert, is one of those guys that can fall asleep the second his head hits the pillow. I’m the opposite. So, I do my Reiki at night while I’m attempting to fall asleep. This has been a lifelong issue for me, not falling asleep. I remember as a child laying awake in bed for hours on end waiting to get sleepy, not knowing that this was not normal. Now, the Reiki helps me to fall asleep within thirty minutes or less just about every night, its such a blessing. For my husband, this obviously doesn’t work, he’s asleep right away, seriously, that fast. This always amazed me when we first met. I didn’t know people did that. Anyway, in attempting to find a time of day for him to do his daily Reiki, bedtime was not going to work. So, he has gotten in the habit of doing his Reiki first thing in the morning, before he even steps out of bed. For me, doing Reiki at night, it helps me relax and fall asleep quickly. For him, doing Reiki first thing in the morning, it wakes him up. He says he feels like he’s had three cups of coffee. (and, that was when he was OFF the coffee!) The Reiki will do whatever you need it to do at that time, its brilliant like that. Your intention helps it be ever stronger.

Reiki as a Habit

I am a very go-with-the-flow person. But, when it comes to the first few months of practicing with your new Reiki energy, I tell my Reiki I students that in order to really make Reiki a part of your daily lives and get the most out of it, it is critical to make it a habit every single day. Right away. Make it a priority in your life for that first month, and do it daily. Find a time that works for YOU and do it at the same time every day, just like any habit you are working on. Reiki is no different in this way. Once you have made it a healthy habit then you truly will feel the effects that Reiki can have on your life quickly and you’ll keep it up, even crave it.

Mini Miracles

When you are working with your Reiki regularly in your life, mini miracles start happening right off that bat, I hear about these all the time in my Reiki students when they start working with the Reiki energy. It really is amazing how the smallest detail is not too much for spirit to help with once we are working with Reiki daily, once we are ‘in the flow.” From helping people’s stressful jobs going smoother the very week they start practicing their Reiki, to finding a little statue of their spirit guide quite by “accident” in a store they’ve never wanted to go into before, but were suddenly drawn to. When you work with the Reiki, Reiki works within you.

Quick Tip for Starting Reiki Practice on Yourself, Creating Mini Miracles and Having a Happier “Go-With-the-Flow” life!

Make DOING Reiki a priority for YOU! IT’S ALL FOR YOU! When you are happier those around you are happier. Simply tell yourself and your Divine Source that Reiki in your life IS a priority and you will DO it every day this next month.
Do Reiki every day at the same time!
Think about an intention to add to the strength of the Reiki healing. Such as “Reiki, please help me heal any issues I have about healing myself,” or “Reiki, please help me fall asleep quickly and easily.”
Then JUST DO IT! You will be surprised at how easy it is to make this positive habit stick with you if you make it a priority for this first month to start. It feels so good and relaxing you may even get addicted to the feeling.
Watch for synchronicity happening in your life, these are mini miracles just waiting for you to get in line with the universe. Once you are in alignment, the ‘coincidences’ happen ALL THE TIME!!
Email me or comment here and let me know how it’s going.

Reiki is with you forever once you’ve been attuned. But, it’s like anything else, if you don’t use it, you don’t get the benefits of it. Divine waits patiently for us to DO for ourselves. When we DO, we are rewarded in more ways than I bet you can come up with yourself. Please feel free to comment here with the mini miracles YOU have seen in your life since you’ve started working with your Reiki.

Love and Light to you all,

Reiki Quick Tip – Healing Trauma Through Childhood Photo Albums

By Josslyn Streett, Reiki Master/Teacher of Rain Shadow Reiki and her dear friend, Stephanie Pelly

There are many ways to heal your childhood trauma. The key is finding the perfect one for YOU. A close friend of mine and I were talking on the phone and she came up with a great one and said I could share it with my readers. She had the idea, instead of hashing up memories that your mind has repressed from childhood for good reason, going through your family photo album and doing Reiki on all the different photographs instead. We usually only have photos of the happy times which reinforces that there were indeed happy times even if the unhappy times are overshadowing them right now. But, if we run the Reiki over the photo album with the intention of healing all the times in between the photos, healing will take place. Our intention and desire to heal those more difficult times is very strong and will direct the Reiki to heal what is needed most. This may take some time like any healing or therapy, but it could be a win/win situation. While NOT having to rehash the ‘bad’ times you are also reinforcing the ‘good’ times that you and your family had at the same time by looking at the ‘happy’ photos.

Where to Start?

Joss at 1 week old, so cute and shy. (Please do not use these photos.)

You could start with one photo or memory at a time. You could start with one page at a time and do a little bit each week or each month. Or you could start with one phase of your life at a time. Whatever feels right to you.

Healing Birth Trauma

This could be a great way to heal birth trauma as well since many of us don’t actually have conscious memories of our birth but some of us have photos relating to it, hospital or being wrapped in a blanket and held shortly after. Reiki those photos with the intent of healing your baby self’s birth trauma.

Be Kind to Yourself

Be patient with yourself and the process. For some, healing childhood memories could be easy and quick and for others it could be a very long and challenging process, yet fruitful as well. It could be good to do some Reiki on yourself prior to working on a difficult time frame in your life or before doing this process at all. You can trust your intuition on what you need. Be kind to yourself in the process and do Reiki on yourself as often as possible and as often as needed. When it feels too much emotionally then stop and do Reiki on yourself to guide yourself through the process. It’s all good. Pick it up later when you are calmer and ready. The trick is, to be patient and take your time, but to not give up. If you feel this particular process is helping, then keep it up.

Sending blessings to all of you healing your child self, Love and Light your way,

Josslyn
