Using self healing as an example for the purpose of this description, it’s my hope that you’ll be able to apply the concept and premises described to your own practice and life. It is offered only as reference to my own personal experiences and my own walk.

I recently had surgery to repair the last of three hernias (two inguinal and one umbilical). Two of them were repaired in a surgery in 2008 and the last of them was taken care of very recently.

Having undergone this procedure before, I felt prepared and there were no real surprises. Some of the pre-surgical conditions were radically different though.

Three years ago I was 50 pounds heavier than I am now, yet still fairly active and healthy. I was walking every day and even did a small leg of the AT (Appalachian Trail) out in the Berkshires through Bear Mountain state Park.

As of June 2010 (as some of you may know) I began a habit that has turned (returned actually) into a passion…running. At the time of the first surgeries I was walking around carrying 235-240 lbs.

Last year, through some half- hearted efforts and the flu, I whittled down to 225 lbs. My physical activity helped me to maintain that weight.

It was also around that time that I became certified in Reiki 1.
The benefits and changes that have been facilitated or potentiated in my life through Usui Reiki are both profound and exhilarating.

Through further study and the daily practices of Usui Reiki, Munay Ki Earthkeeper Wisdom and other healing modalities as well as yoga, I have come to realize the synergistic threads and energies that each shares.

Once any of us realizes that there are more “things” that bind us together than separate us, our ultimate responsibility becomes more clear, we’re graced with more passion and more energy to pursue “that” in our lives and therefore are able to bless more people, in more ways with the particular collection of gifts, talents and abilities that DO make us each unique.

It’s safe to say that the surgeries of three years ago took place on a body that didn’t have the “spiritual preparedness” that it does now.

When I prepare for healing either myself or others I first clear and set Sacred space. The intent of the healing is then set from within those sacred boundaries. I also prepared for this surgery by using essential oils to maximize the healing and shorten the recovery period. Contact me if you’d like more information about the oils.

Post surgically when applying self Reiki, I set intent upon retrieving an energetic representation of perfect health & healing for the area of injury or deeper to an example of perfect DNA, unblemished by scar, dis-ease or injury.

Through that intent I seek the sense of balance that lets me know that the intent has been received and implanted. Meditating on the healing in the following days allows the complete manifestation of  it to be revealed.

You can “choose” to be one who heals quickly. You can also impart that seed (energetically speaking) to those who you’re called to heal.
