Words of Wisdom from a 4-year-old client...

I did a reiki session for a 4-year-old today. He loved the energy and let me work with him for 1 hour and 40 minutes! "My heart feels warm and like waves," he said, when I was working at his heart. Great words from a smart little guy. His mom is already noticing a change in his behavior after one session and we have a few more to go.

Our next Reiki Level I and II classes are coming May 13-15 - get a discount with advance registration. See details on the reiki page of our website.

Sacred Geometry – What you need to know to enhance your home and your life!

What is Sacred Geometry?
Sacred Geometry helps you to manifest your goals and create better energy around you. The primary geometries are the sphere, cube and pyramid, which hold incredible energy that is fundamental to the structure of the Universe and to your daily life.
Sacred Geometry is about understanding how these divine shapes are the basis of all creation, and harnessing the energy of these geometries to enhance the energy of your home, office space, healing or meditation room.

Why study Sacred Geometry?
The class that I teach not only gives you more knowledge about Sacred Geometry, but I also energetically hand down keys to work with the energy of Sacred Geometry in your life. In the class you’ll awaken the three primary sacred geometries within your physical body; learn how to activate a room or a building, increasing the vibration and protection; and you’ll learn how to create a sacred space for meditation or healing work.

Who benefits from learning about Sacred Geometry?
Anyone can benefit from taking this class:
• If you’re already practicing some form of healing arts or intuitive readings this class will enhance the work you’re already doing by better protecting your space and increasing the positive energy in your space, which allows you to better flow energy to your clients.
• If you meditate, create artwork, practice yoga or tai chi – you’ll benefit from using the tools from this class to enhance the vibration in the space where you practice.
• If you’re a realtor or if you have a home you’d like to sell, this method will raise the vibration of the home, making it more appealing to the potential buyer.
• If you want to shift the energy in your home, if it feels like you need a “spring energy cleaning”, this class is for you. It’s a great way to refresh the energy in your home.
• If you feel the energy at your workspace is stagnant or negative and you want to shift it to the positive, this class will help you to do just that.

Why did you become certified to teach Sacred Geometry?
I wanted to bring this method for creating a higher vibration and more positive energy to people. I took the class myself several years ago and was really affected by how powerful the tools are. It’s not something you can learn in a book or on the internet, because this method is based on the ancient linage of the mystery school wisdom teachings, which are only handed down from teacher to student as a transfer of energy in addition to handing down knowledge.

How have you applied Sacred Geometry in your life?
I’ve used this method to sell my parent’s home, which was on the market for 9 months without any offers. I applied the techniques and the very next buyer who toured the home made an offer that day.
I’ve used these techniques to enhance the space of my office and my co-workers now gravitate to my small office for meetings instead of using a larger meeting space. They like hanging out in the energy, and if they’re not in a good mood they tend to avoid my office, which is a plus!
I use this method before I do any healing session for a client or before I teach any class, and in both cases my clients or students have commented on how nice the energy feels in the space.
I use Sacred Geometry in the space where I meditate and notice a very high connection with incredible energy and messages that come through while I meditate.

Are there advanced Sacred Geometry classes?
Yes! All of the above attributes are based on the basic level 1 class, which I teach each month. The second level is called Sacred Geometry II – Gemstone Healers class. This class teaches you how to used Sacred Geometry with crystals and gemstones for healing sessions, intuitive readings, dreamtime, and crystal gridding to further raise the energy of a space. The Sacred Geometry III class certifies you to work with clearing the aura of blockages. The Sacred Geometry IV class gives you a technique to use for raising the vibration of a space for ceremonies, family gatherings, rooms where you meditate or do any sort of healing work.

The Proof is in the Reiki!

by Sarah Gebeke, Jikiden Reiki and Usui Reiki Method of Natural Healing Practitioner

Reiki is a gentle but powerful energy work modality. It has a long history of aiding in healing virtually every known illness. Reiki improves medical treatment by reducing negative side effects, shortening healing time, reducing pain and releasing stress. Universal Healing Energy is sent through the practitioner’s hands to assist the client in healing on a physical and emotional level.

Medical science is starting to show support for reiki as an alternative form of therapy. In Minnesota the U of M offers reiki as an elective for nursing students, and reiki can be found as a complimentary healing modality in hospitals around the Twin Cities.

To show the proof is in the reiki, I've listed some studies below to demonstrate the healing properties of reiki:

Reiki Clinical Studies Highlights
Post-operative pain
• This study examined the effects of Reiki and LeShan therapies in combination on pain experienced after surgery. A statistically significant difference between the treatment and control groups was observed in both the level of pain intensity and the degree of pain.
Source: Wirth DP, Brenlan DR, Levine RJ, and Rodriguez, CM. “The effect of complementary healing therapy on postoperative pain after surgical removal of impacted third molar teeth.” Complementary Therapies in Medicine. 1(3): 133-138, July, 1993.

Immune Function and Reiki
• In this study reiki treatments were given to improve the immune function of patients with chronic illness: multiple sclerosis, lupus, fibromyalgia and thyroid goiter. Patients received no other conventional or alternative therapy and noticed significant differences before and after Reiki sessions
Source: Hartwell, B and Brewitt, B. “The Efficacy of Reiki Hands On Healing: Improvement in Adrenal, Spleen and Nervous Function as Quantified by Electro-Dermal Screening.” Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine. 3(4): 89. July, 1997.

Chronic Illness and Reiki
• 120 participants were randomly assigned to one of four groups: 10 sessions of Reiki, 10 sessions of Progressive Muscle Relaxation, a control group receiving no treatment, and a placebo group receiving 10 sessions of false-Reiki. Pain, depression, state anxiety, trait anxiety, belief in personal control and other parameters were measured pre-test, post-test and at three month follow up. The following conclusions were reached: Reiki is an effective modality for reducing pain, depression and state anxiety; Reiki is effective in enhancing positive personality changes such as decreased trait anxiety, increased self-esteem and a greater sense of internal locus of control.
Source: Dressen LJ and Singg, S. “Effects of Reiki on Pain and Selected Affective and Personality Variables of Chronically Ill Patients.” Subtle Energies & Energy Medicine. 9(1): 51-82, 1998.

Multiple Sclerosis
• Thirteen M.S. patients with either primary progressive or secondary progressive M.S. were selected for Reiki treatments. The patients were asked on the first visit to identify the symptoms which were most disruptive to their quality of life. On each visit they were asked to rate their individual symptoms. The results are as follows:
• 90.2% Reduction of lethargy
• 87% Reduction of depression
• 78.7% Reduction of cognitive problems
• 75.3% Reduction of motor problems
• 73.5% Reduction of pain
• 70.2% Reduction of fatigue
• 69.1% Reduction of urine problems
• 62.8% Reduction of bowel problems


Depression and Reiki
• Forty-six participants were randomly assigned to one of three groups: hands-on Reiki, distance Reiki or distance Reiki placebo control. Each participant received 1 to 1.5 hour treatment each week for 6 weeks. There was a significant reduction in symptoms of psychological distress in treatment groups as compared with controls and these differences continued to be present one year later.
