Today is a day of perfect balance.  There is the same amount of daylight as there is darkness. The Spring Equinox is celebrated as not just the first day of Spring but as a time of Rebirth and Renewal. This is the beginning of new life springing up all around us in nature. Things are coming alive that have been dormant for the winter months. Why not look inside and at our surroundings and consider how we can refresh and create a vibrant environment for new experiences and growth. New experiences get us excited. Growth may be in the physical healing of our body, the taming of our emotions, the clearing of our thoughts and a renewal of our connection to all that is on our spiritual level.  To celebrate this balance and create inner balance. There are exercises we could do to support our journey on all levels at this opportune time!  Let go of that which no longer nourishes you while attracting all which you wish to manifest in your life.  Make a list entitled:  I Release  Write down all the things that are no longer serving you or holding you back.  Intend that you are sending these things to the universe to be removed from your life. Burn the list with that intention.  Make a list entitled: I Manifest Write down all the things you wish to attract into your life. Intend that you are sending these things to the universe to be attracted to your life. Burn the list with that intention.  Doing both exercises creates a balanced effort first it clears out all that is no longer serving you and then fills that gap with things that can blossom into the life you desire.  Remember that if you clean out anything it will fill again naturally.  So doing both ensures that the stuff that replaces the old creates a new, refreshing and uplifted spiritual connection to all and supports your life journey.  If you are a Reiki practitioner, ask the energy to flow to the process as it will support, guide and ensure success that is for your higher good.  Wishing everyone a wonderful...

There are many stories about the origin of the 'talking stick' and how it was made and how it was used by various Native American tribes across North America.  In the Northwest, the 'talking stick' was typically a staff carved with symbolic tribal or clan crests of the speaker or chief that typically resembled a small hand held totem pole.  It was held by the chief or designated speaker at public gatherings or 'potlatches' as a symbol of authority and importance.  When Speaking, the speaker would thump it upon the ground to emphasize the importance of the message being delivered to the group.    In upstate New York, the 5 North American Tribes came together to talk and listen to each other's grievances and disputes in an effort to resolve them so they could all live in peace.  They did so after many years of talks under the leadership of Deganawidah and formed the Iroquois Confederacy.  He believed that each person wishing to speak during these meetings be given an opportunity to share their valuable ideas and thoughts while the others listened. To ensure that everyone had an opportunity to speak, he started a tradition of passing a decorative ceremonial 'talking stick' around the circle giving each person the opportunity to speak.  He found that when the speaker held the 'talking stick' they spoke from their heart and their message would be listened carefully by the others with their hearts.   The stories of talking stick are interesting.  Over the 10 years of RERI sponsored retreats, they have made a practice of passing a ceremonial 'talking stick' around the circle allowing each participant to speak from  their hearts as the others listened with their hearts.  It has been a powerful tool to encourage participants to share their inner most thoughts and emotions.    This year, as the Retreat Planning Committee began to plan a virtual event entitled 4 Week Spiritual Journey Creating a Paradigm Shift in lieu of RERI's annual Retreat, and with the help of our go to...

A powerful way to create a paradigm shift   What is a paradigm shift you may be asking, a paradigm shift can be a theory or a group of ideas about how something should be done, made or thought about. When there is a shift or change in these established ideas and replaced by new and different ideas, you have a paradigm shift. A personal paradigm shift is a change of our personal viewpoints, perceptions, old beliefs and assumptions that are no longer applicable or hindering our growth.  2020 is the most challenging year in decades, the world is filled with negative energy, anger and fear. People are fearful of the current health risks caused by the global pandemic. It has also created political and economic uncertainty. The corona-virus is continually changing how we live our daily lives. We hope that the current situation will eventually awaken into a new and better world.  As President Kennedy suggested, out of crises can emerge new and incredible opportunities. Our world is in need of a major paradigm shift and there is a powerful way of creating a new world paradigm shift for the highest good of all  if we all focus on the positive side. Quantum physic states everything is made up of energy, including our thoughts and emotions. Fear and anger are energy that manifest negative human behavior and drive people to say and do things they would not normally be prone to.  If we allow these emotions to dominate our life and be the driver of our decision-making process, it becomes a destructive force impacting ourselves and the people around us. Sadly, people aren’t always conscious of how powerfully our negative emotions can impact people and escalate situations. Many of us feel strongly about change. Our spiritual sense tells us trying to change the world with anger and fear-based behavior is not effective. On the contrary, it perpetuates the cycle of negative energy in ourselves and others. We need to ask ourselves if we truly want to change the world for the...
