Personal Transformation With Reiki
Exploring and ChangingEveryone experiences different things upon discovering Reiki. My feelings changed about many things from what I would choose to read to what I chose to eat! Even though the energy is not connected to any particular deity, I found myself pulled in several spiritual directions at once. I called this my “exploration stage” and read volumes of books on meditation, cleansing, Native spirituality and Eastern traditions. I explored different teachings and discovered a personal affinity to Sai Baba and his teachings. I was also drawn to Buddhism and the path of compassion. I began to incorporate all of these many paths, along with the teachings of Jesus Christ, into a spiritual practice that worked for me, personally, and for the people that I was healing. In addition, I was able to empathize with everyone’s spiritual path, without judgement, and to appreciate everyone’s uniqueness in loving Spirit. Dark Night Of The SoulAs my Reiki and spiritual paths became more intense, it started occupying more of my time - and then went into a healing crisis. My “dark night of the soul” involved taking time off my public school teaching position and no one could tell me what was wrong with me. During this time, I heard my Intuition say that “it was time to serve the children of god” but, since I was already teaching primary education, I thought the message odd and answered “that won’t pay my visa bill” and continued healing myself and teaching school the best that I could. Then one day, I was dismissing my students and no sound would come out of my mouth. Frightened, my Grade Ones ran to the office to get help. I never returned to teaching after this experience. It was 6 months before I could speak casually again, and almost a year before I could address a group. My Spirit Guides knew better than I which direction I needed to go and they made certain, like they always do, that I followed the path that I was intended for. I also never disregarded a message from Spirit again! New Direction Arrived
While convalescing, and looking out at the snow that winter I wondered, what was I supposed to do with the rest of my Life? I had a university degree, a strong desire to help others but wasn’t sure how all of it was suppose to come about! Depressed and discouraged, I started fixing up a spare bedroom. I began by adding statues of my favorite deities, not really understanding what I was doing, I just wanted to stay busy and not think about my plight. Before I knew it, I had my first Reiki treatment room and started putting out flyers in hopes of attracting my first clients. My business mushroomed from there as “word of mouth” flourished in my community as Am-Ra's Spirit was conceived. Descended From A Puerto Rican ShamanAs I focused on my Reiki teachings and my personal spiritual path, prayed and meditated, my skills became stronger and new skills were taught to me by Spirit! It was about this time that my mother confessed that I was descended from a long line of ancestors that practiced much like I did, using white sage to clear clients before healing was allowed to take place. The experiences that I was having were affirmed by my mother, who was a natural Shaman, as her mother before her, and her grandfather. My great-great grandfather would get up at 5 am, cleanse underneath a cool waterfall near the Puerto Rican rainforest, canoe to his healing hut and accept chickens, vegetables and wares as an exchange for healing the people in his area. My mother affirms that he would start healing by lighting a combination of tobacco to thank the “good spirits” and sage to clear negativity. I’m a descendant of a natural Shaman and he still guides me in my healing sessions today. Eclectic Healer, Providing a Unique Experience For ClientsI’m an eclectic healer who uses many techniques of healing, intuitively, in order to attain positive results with the energy. I am now a certified Usui-Tibetan Traditional Reiki Master-Teacher, a Twelve-Ray Healer and use the rays, Reiki, shamanism, the different deities, the Angels, and the spiritual guidance of the client to heal an individual. I have found that prayer and attaining a light meditative state during healing keeps you connected to the energy of the Universal Light, the energy of your client, and it helps you to sense changes in the pulse of the healing session. I call my healing Trans-Reiki because it is transformational. I have seen people change before my eyes and have witnessed many positive reversals in the health of my clients. I am blessed to have played a part in the maintenance of their newfound health and attitudes. My Power Animal Awakening
I was still in my early spiritual development and wasn’t aware that a spirit animal could just waltz into your sacred space. After the first staring match, I became accustomed to seeing my Grizzly Bear every time I went into a meditation and we became friends. After a time more spirit animals joined me to assist me with my learning, but mainly Grizzly, Eagle, Hawk and Owl remain. I see the others on occasion. I come from a Puerto Rican culture that doesn’t adhere to Power Animals, like the Native Canadian would or the Native American. Being a Taino Indian descendant, and living many miles away from my heritage, I’m not yet certain if they honoured animal medicine like we do in my adopted Canadian country. But, I am aware of my past lives and these animals have come to me from other lives to assist me with the work that I am doing today. I feel that they are protective spirits that help us in our everyday lives. Power animals are usually a reflection of your deepest Self and also represent qualities which you need in this world, but are often hidden or obscured. If you are already aware of your spirit animal, that spirit may greet you and give you additional power. All mammals and birds are positive spirits. Any positive spirit may be your power animal.
I feel comforted by my power animals and the knowledge that God, or Great Spirit, put animals here to guide and protect us from harm, if we would only listen without prejudice and ignorance. As I honour my healing path, so I also honour the path of Mother Earth, the Great Mother that protects us all, for “we are all related” in unity consciousness, whether on two legs or four. My Beliefs
