How do I speak of such a thing? Perhaps this story will help. There is a story about a young monk who went to his master and asked how to know God. His master responded “listen to the sound of one hand clapping.” So the young monk went away and meditated as best he could […]
How complicated we make living the Truth! Many of us believe that our Truth is our belief. But our beliefs change over the years, have you noticed? Have you also noticed that there is a state of being inside that lets you know if you are living your Truth; a state of being that seems […]
The unfolding of some of my greatest spiritual understandings began at age twenty-one when asked to leave the church. No longer needing to walk the tight rope between trying to understand the truths of Eastern religions and philosophies,with the teachings of the Baptist Church, I was free. Free to explore the universal truths taught by […]
“Holy shit dad, look!” I’m sure that’s what he would’ve said if he were a little older. It’s what I would have said if I were in his shoes. In front of us, a blatant display of angelic ingenuity had manifested from an ordinary, everyday situation. It started as we were looking for a […]
“Only time can heal your broken heart, just as only time can heal his broken arms and legs.” –Miss Piggy. “Undoubtedly the largest four letter word in the English language, love, has been spindled, folded, twisted, and mutilated more than any other state of being on earth. Why? Because it is way too vast to […]
“Not another ritual!” These words echoed in my mind as I accepted the small gift. However, not wanting to be rude, I found myself saying, “Thank you, I really haven’t heard of this before.” “There’s a card that tells you all about it,” she said. With as much excitement as I could muster, I opened […]
I always love a good adventure, but as you know, most good adventures don’t expose themselves right away. They send out clues, most of which we ignore, but then they wait– until they can’t wait anymore. Such is the story of my journey to Estes Park Colorado when I took my Reiki Master training back […]
By definition, a Reiki Master would be one who has mastered the energy we call Reiki. Simple? Maybe not. Let’s take a look at the definition of this Japanese word Reiki and consider what it takes to master it. Breaking the word into two parts, the generally accepted definition of Rei is “universal” with an […]
It’s funny how long it takes for a concept or lesson to really sink into the fabric of my being. I often chide, as I marvel at how incredibly fast people are able to grasp concepts that have taken me years to understand, that the reason I was born so long ago was so that […]
In 1991, when I was first introduced to Reiki, I was in awe. Today, some 22 years later (is that possible?), I am still in awe. Why? Well, it’s not because Reiki has changed, it’s because my understanding of Reiki has changed. Even to this day, I continue to grow, heal, and expand as I […]
