#How Much Are Reiki Classes

[purusadivine]

I am very much an everyone should get paid for their time/services/energy person but it does get very discouraging as someone who is serious about their healing to not have any resources outside of myself to go to for support because of money. Or to even get a mentor these days or advice you have to buy an ebook or book a session. I just wish there was financial aid for healing or ways that practitioners could still make a living while the actual needy can receive quality healing.

Their stares dug into your soul and pulled out every sense of hiding and masking you've held in for the last few years. Their slight frowns, and disappointment in their colored eyes; it was too much for you to bear.

Were you so prideful in keeping your feelings secret that you'd risk losing Korra and Asami? Was it really that serious to let them think you didn't support their relationship?

You didn't know. You had no way to know.

Now the three of you were staring at each other in the courtyard of Air Temple Island. All parties eager for an answer from you.

However, just because they were eager to get an answer from you doesn't mean you had an answer ready for them.

Just now, in this very moment, you realized you had a crush on the two bisexuals. You just realized that going to bed thinking about kissing the both of them, holding their hands, and making them laugh wasn't as platonic as you thought.

You hated to admit it but Bolin was right. You hated when he was right, especially since you're often so stubborn. He was never going to let you live this down now.

But that's something to worry about in the future. Right now you needed to worry about the present. Korra and Asami are staring at you with hurt and almost distant eyes. The longer you let the silencer linger, the deeper you hurt them.

What could you even say or do in this moment? Make up some silly lie? Confess to them right on the spot? Make them think you're not accepting of their love? All three options were terrible. It was a lose-lose-lose situation.

"Uh," you nervously chuckled, scratching the back of your neck. The bright sun on Air Temple island shone into your eyes, nearly blinding you from the sight of the red-and-blue-coded girlfriends. You wondered what color you would be if you were added to the pair. "You know, I think I need to attend one of Tenzin's meditation classes. Learn how to ease up and become one with my chi."

"One with your chi?" Asami echoed.

"Yeah. If I'm so tense all the time and not noticing, obviously something is off. Maybe even wrong with me." You gave them another shrug. "I can't be one of the best members on the Krew and not be one with my chi."

Korra let out a chuckle. "'One of the best members'?" You nodded at her statement, a cocky smile growing on your lips. Korra shook her head, her smile from her chuckle staying on her face as she crossed her arms. "Who said you were one of the best?"

"Oh, isn't it obvious, Avatar?" You mimicked her stance and Asami did the same, matching the teasing smiles on your faces.

"Must not have been," Korra rebutted. "Sounds like you still got some work to do."

You could only laugh at her playful words. Although her statement was true, it was for the wrong situation. You did have some work to do. You had to work through and process your growing crushes on Asami and Korra in hopes you can get over them and have them never find out about your crush.

That should be easy. What's a little crush going to do to you?

-

"You're right," Tenzin said as he waved his palms over your torso. You were serious about taking meditation classes from him. You were too tense, hyper-focused on the sapphic pair. You needed mental clarity and hopefully with mental clarity comes a way to get over them.

The Airbender was using reiki, some form of spiritual healing that used energy and intention to ease the human mind and body. He decided to use the technique on you when you came to him about your stress problem. He said he rarely used this technique but given that you're a new student of his, he decided why not?

The man had his eyes closed and waved his arms and body around as if he were airbending. The only difference is that he wasn't airbending at all and in fact was getting a feel of your stress and anxiety levels. "You are very tense," he continued. "The tension lies within your shoulders and sits in your gut. Your chest, too, is tight. If you were an Airbender, you'd be blocked from your ability entirely. It would take months, maybe even years to remove this type of stress."

You heaved a sigh as the monk opened his eyes and returned to his natural standing stance. "Months"? "Maybe even years"? By the time you mastered your chi or removed most of the stress in your body, Korra and Asami could very well be married. Or even worse, forgotten about you.

It was extreme to think of those two scenarios but it's what your mind went to. You're doing this to be better for them, not to risk losing your friendship. If it's going to take years to return to the person you were before you started having feelings for them, they were gone for good.

"Well," you said as another sigh escaped your body. "We better get started."

-

Because of your circumstance, Tenzin decided to add airbender training to your "Stress Relief Regimen". Like he mentioned, you would be blocked if you were an Airbender but in addition to the spiritual and worldly connection, Airbenders also have a physical outlet. They use their body to navigate through the winds and courses of life. It acts as another way to release whatever your body is holding in.

It's been a few weeks since you started training with Tenzin and you can admit things are a lot better now. Well, physically. You're still blocked mentally and spiritually, but the airbending training traditions were getting easier for you. You ran into the equipment less and stayed on the balls of your feet more often. Even Jinora was impressed.

You practiced day and night while leaving space to meditate and to connect with nature in between. But the cause of your vigorous schedule to train and relax, you've pulled yourself away from the Krew. You rarely hung out with them outside of work and only said hello to them during meals. Day in and day out, you were training.

It was ironic though. You were training and practicing these techniques to become one with your emotions and get clarity on the KorrAsasmi situation but all the training seemed to be doing was making you avoid them.

You were actively running away and towards your emotions at the same time. How you mastered that skill, not even Tenzin knew.

He watched you prance and elegantly move around the spinning panels on the Airbending arena with your eyes closed and your arms in the offensive position he taught you. While you were physically correct, he could still feel a weight of heaviness and emotion rest on your shoulders and sink into your body.

Korra saw it too. That's why she was here standing next to Tenzin and monitoring your training. She knew Tenzin to be a good teacher so she didn't understand why his training kept you away from the Krew so long.

She already went through that teenage rebellion phase with him so she figured he eased up on allowing you to go out and such. Especially since you're not under his care and a grown adult. And as she watched your practice, she knew Tenzin's methods had changed for the better and the pressure lessened. So, if it wasn't Tenzin keeping you away from her. What was?

When practice was over, there was a meditation session immediately after. It wasn't a one-on-one session like you usually had with Tenzin, but actually an open session for the new Airbenders and anyone who wants to learn more about the art. In fact, it was taught by Jinora. Tenzin wasn't a part of it at all.

Korra assumed you kept your schedule busy with not only Tenzin's agenda but the other Airbenders too. To her it made sense. You're pretty much training to be an Airbender just without the bending. So to her surprise when she walked into the class and saw you weren't there, something was up.

-

"And you're sure they weren't there?" Asami asked as she unmade the bed for the night. She and Korra were in their room, the midnight moon shone through the window and provided natural light for the girls. Korra, just slipping on her white tank, nodded.

"Yup. Now we know Tenzin isn't keeping them away from us. I think it's them who wants to stay away from us." Korra's feet shuffled across the wooden floor, her tush melting into the mattress after she plopped.

"Come on." Asami frowned. "They're not like that. I'm sure it's something else." The paler woman sat beside Korra and placed a well-manicured hand on her shoulder. Korra only sighed again with her head hung low. "They haven't even spoke to Mako and Bolin and they're like brothers to them."

Korra shrugged. What Asami was saying made sense but there was something deeper going on. There was something you weren't telling them and Korra was killing herself trying to find out. "Does it not bother you either?" Korra's sad blue eyes struck Asami's green. "Don't you miss them? Their laugh and how they used to look at us with those eyes? Like we were the world to them. Now we barely get a glance when we pass each other in the halls or in the street."

Asami sighed. Of course, she did. She missed all of it and how you used to compliment them or poke fun. She missed watching you interact with Mako and Bolin and playing with them like they were your blood kin. She missed so much and more. She only placed a kiss on Korra's cheek and moved some hair behind the Avatar's ear. "Come on. Let's get to bed." -

"Good, now breathe while you lift your leg. Your opposite arm follows." You followed Tenzin's notes, lifting your leg and doing a fan kick while your opposite arm follows. When your arm follows, the momentum carried you throughout the move and when your leg landed on the ground, you spun around and nearly womble to the floor.

"Good," Tenzin said walking through the plush grass. "When you use that move, your weight shifts between your standing leg and then the led that lands on the ground. Because of your arm and force of the air, you spin around and when mastered, it's a great move to switch the play on your opponent." Tenzin then cleared his throat, the tops of his ears going red. "You know. If you airbent."

You gave him a slight chuckle. Almost four months into training and Tenzin still forgets you're not an Airbender sometimes.

"Sorry, force of habit." You waved him off and repeated the move, still stumbling when your lifted leg hits the ground. Tenzin instructed ways to land and poses to land into but no matter the note or correction, you continued to wobble.

"Ugh, I don't get it. I'm doing everything right. I'm making sure I'm light on my toes and transferring my weight between my legs," you complained to Tenzin as you took a swig of water.

The Airbending master interlaced his fingers and held them near his diaphragm. "Well, are you emotionally light? Spirtually, mentally?" You nodded as you wipe excess water from the corner of your mouth.

"Yeah. I mean, I think so? I mediate in the morning, evenings, and join some classes at the other Air Temple. I don't know what I'm doing wrong." You walked over to the cemented benches which were really short walls of concrete painted beige. You took a seat, crossing your legs and placing your heels at the edge of the wall.

"Hm," pondered Tenzin as he followed you to the wall. While he can admit your dedication is impressive, he can't help but feel there's something else blocking you, stopping you from achieving your greatest.

It was similar to what he experienced when training with Korra or his failed attempts at connecting to the spirit world but heavier. Almost as if you were avoiding the emotions that kept you planted deep into the ground. If you were an Earthbender, he predicted you would be one of the best.

"Tell me, young one. Is it possible there's something else bothering you? Perhaps problems with family, friends, work even?" He took a seat by you as you contemplated your answer to him.

You've felt good. The feeling of jealousy or even anxiety changed to what some would call a rock. It was as if a flat rock sheet lay on your chest and stomach. Some had a heart of gold and steel, yours wore stone armor.

You gave him a shrug and sipped your water out of avoidance. Your lack of eye contact, expression, and words told Tenzin everything he needed to know.

You were stuck emotionally and he had a hunch it was about the Avatar and her girlfriend. And perhaps the fact that they weren't your girlfriends. Tenzin wouldn't have come to that conclusion if it wasn't for his older sister, Kya.

One day, Kya came to visit and Tenzin told her all about your training and dedication to the craft despite not being an Airbender. When Kya observed your practicing, she could tell immediately you were struck with something emotionally tolling. Something you took Airbending techniques to work through but ended up avoiding.

She did the same thing with Waterbending when it came to a crush of hers.

Also, Kya overheard the Krew express concern and longing for you. More specifically, she saw the faces of Asami and Korra and how their eyebrows knitted together in hurt and confusion. It was the same face she wore when she found out Lin liked Tenzin.

"You need to talk to them," Tenzin spoke. "Avoidance or whatever you call this dance of yours isn't going to better your ability to meditate or to perform such exercises. In fact, it'll stifle your chances and ruin whatever you have left of your friendships." With a deep sigh, Tenzin put a hand on your shoulder. "Take this from someone who focused so hard on training that he almost lost his family. Isolation is not the key to working through hard emotions. You have to work and realize it's not going to be easy."

When your eyes met Tenzin's, you could see his brows downturned as if he was frowning with them. His eyes glossy yet held this certain look in his eye, as if he saw you as his own. His family.

The look stirred a certain guilt in your stomach. It was the same guilt you felt when you watched the Krew interact while you purposely lingered in the shadows. In hopes of bettering yourself, you ended up self-sabotaging.

"Hey!" Bolin chirped as he strode over to you and Tenzin. You quickly blinked away tears and looked at him with a smile, responding with a greeting. "We're going out to dinner tonight. You coming?"

-

Dinner was nearly normal. The five of you, the Krew and yourself, went to this fancy-ish restaurant where they served everything from Water Tribe food to Fire Nation goods. They also included the more modern dishes that Republic City had to offer.

It was like nothing had changed when you first ate. Everyone was chipper, happily munching on their meals, and cracking jokes like no time had passed between your group.

But then, just as you were almost done with your meal, the mood switched. A metaphorical cloud full of darkness and heavy rain washed over your booth and wind dared to blow you away from your seat.

Korra sighed, putting down her eating utensil and putting her hands on the table in an interlaced fist. "Okay, we have something we need to talk to you about." You barely looked at her to continue. "You've been kinda distant lately and we know it's not because of your training. Tenzin was adamant in easing the intensity of his training schedule, especially now with the new addition to the family and the new Airbenders."

You shrugged for what felt like the fiftieth time today. "I'm taking my craft really seriously. Is that a crime?"

"No," Asami said in a calmer tone that Korra could've given the sass you had in your sentence. "But it worries us. Especially now that you're not even attending Avatar duties anymore. We're a group and we need you. We're empty without you."

You threatened to scoff but instead shoved down the urge with another bite of your food. "I don't know what you want from me."

"Your training was supposed to help you ease up and not be as stressed but it looks like it's doing the opposite," Mako spoke. "You're distant, eat meals alone, and I've never seen someone train so hard for Airbending when you're not even an Airbender."

"Okay, so what? Look, it's my training, my schedule. You guys don't have a clue of what's going on with me so just drop it. Okay?"

Bolin glanced around his table of friends. Nervously picking at his pants, his eyes landed on you and gazed into your eyes. With a tone soft and gentle, he spoke. "So, something is going on."

You sat up a little straighter, eyes on the brown wooden table in front of you. You didn't realize you said that out loud. All that work of being alone and trying not to talk about your feelings nearly came undone with one measly slip-up. "No. Drop it."

"No, we don't want to drop it. What's going on? We can help you." Asami reached a hand out to you but you just snatched your hand away.

The Earthbender at the table sunk down in his seat. He knew what was going on now. He doesn't know why he forgot the last genuine conversation you had just a few months ago.

Your crush on Korra and Asami were eating you alive. What was supposed to be an outlet became a distraction. A distraction from the possibility of hurt, rejection, and loss. If he remembered this earlier, he wouldn't have suggested this confrontation dinner.

The only person who could help you in this situation is yourself and Bolin could see you didn't want that. Not anymore at least. You were perfectly fine losing your friends if it meant the protection of your relationship and feelings.

Although, it's a bit counteractive letting your friends slip away just to avoid a blowup over emotions you couldn't control. Bolin wasn't going to let that slide.

The Krew's been in messy romance drama before. What's a little more? They've prevailed over three times and they could do it again.

"I'm sorry," you took money from your pants and placed enough to cover your meal on the table, "but you can't help me with this. I'm sorry."

Following your departure, Bolin followed you out of the restaurant. Your friends exclaimed and called out for the both of you, but you were too far to hear and well Bolin, he was on a mission.

You stumbled behind yourself as Bolin took hold of your wrist and snatched you back. Your eyes met his, the orange-yellow lighting of the restaurant shining through the windows and making the sidewalk glow.

"You don't have to do this," Bolin spoke in a whisper. "You don't have to hide and pretend you're something you're not just to avoid rejection."

You pull your wrist out of his grip, your brows knitted defensively. "I don't know what you're talking about. I'm not avoiding anything."

"Please, I've seen it multiple times before. I lived it. The crushes you have on Korra and Asami won't change anything. They won't be weirded out or throw you out of the friendship if that's what you're worried about." The green in Bolin's eyes sought out to comfort you. As before, he kept his voice gentle and nurturing. "Crushes are scary and can leave you vulnerable but you shouldn't avoid your feelings because of it. You'll end up holding things in, the hurt turning into resentment, and the resentment turning into hate."

The Earthbender's palm found its place on top of your shoulder. Like his eyes, voice, and now touch, Bolin comforted you. His words, though similar to Tenzin's, had more meaning. You've seen Bolin get rejected before and heard horrific stories but he never let the embarrassment get to him. He learned, grew, and eventually got the partner of his dreams.

You patted his hand. "That means a lot. I'll try, okay? I can't promise it's going to be a good try, but I'll try and face my feelings instead of avoiding them and letting them turn into something ugly."

Bolin smiled, the joyous expression reaching his eyes. "Good. You won't regret it and you'll always have me to lean on. Don't forget that." Before you could say anything else, he pulled you in for a bear hug and lifted you off the ground.

Maybe Bolin was right. Facing your feelings head-on would make them less scary and who knows, maybe Korra and Asami would get a confession out of it.

hi! would you have any tips on spirit work? specifically either through tarot or energy work or if neither of those work, however you prefer. ive done tarot for a while and some experience so im not a beginner, but, yeah. thank you!

I just recently replied an ask with some information. My blog also has tags #spiritual #spirituality #tarot where you can find information of these topics, too :3

One tip for tarot from me is that don't read just the meaning of the card, see also the image depicted on the card. It can change the meaning of the card and its nature. Like with The Tower; a card depicting a broken tower is more dramatic than a card depicting a standing tower with no damage. A lightning hitting the Tower is more dramatic than lighting thundering over the Tower.

What are the colors? Who is on the card? What is the atmosphere? Is the picture telling a story, too?

Deviant Moon Tarot's Death card is one of my favorites when it comes to the card's illustration telling the story. Death in tarot represents ending and new beginnings. Here, Death is a mother pregnant with new life, where as you are the baby wanting to go back to old; no, I want to be the baby! I want to be the newborn or the life in mother's womb!

Yet, Death (mother) can't let that happen. That's not how pregnancies and growing bigger works. You need to go forward and not yearn for the old, as the old is already passed and you're ready to put your Big Boy Pants on.

For other questions, I always recommend books, books and more books :3 See Youtube videos and podcasts of your favorite topic. For books, I can't recommend much, as you must understand that 95% of the spiritual books and my studies on these matters have been in Finnish. Luckily, these topics are becoming really common, so there's no lack of sources :3 Pick the ones you resonate with and what genuinely interests you.

For energy work, many seem to go to Reiki Master classes, so that's one option. Energy work and healing isn't my thing so I don't have much any recommendations of that topic. I'm the nerd one who wants to read and study, not the one who wants to heal the world with a healing practice :D (albeit I hope my art and stories are healing to those who need them).

Reliable Reiki Source for beginners

For those of you interested in actual Reiki

The Complete Book Of Traditional Reiki is an excellent source as it is written by Amy Z. Rowland, a Reiki master of many forms and a student to a student of Madam Takata and has over 30 years experience.

The book covers some light anatomy for understanding how reiki functions with the human body

This is just what some of the book also covers:

positions

Attunement process

working on self and others

How to connect

History of reiki (reliable)

Mental and emotional health

Treating clients

Classes offered 1-3 master

Absolutely incredible if you can get your hands on this book it will be your guide through your physical classes all the way into your masters attunement, i saw that with confidence as some one whos been studying Reiki and practicing for 5 years this has been the most helpfull, plentifull, reliable, resource i have found yet. If you see it, dont let it pass you by!

Ontop of that i want to offer this playlist i found to be incredibly helpfull for visual demonstrations to follow along with

I offer this as something meant to go hand in hand with the book. Yes, you can use it alone, but i suggest you pick up the book eventually and give it a read. Especially because this man follows the christian interpretation of Dr. Usuis story, so be aware of that before you listen if you choose to do so.

He also offers resources to look into for studying reiki on your own, including a book simalure to what i show here, but they are not the same i would say stick to one book for now because it covers so much and comes from such a good author, but by all means dig in if thats what you want!

*Guruji is good at puja, yoga and spiritual guidance. How can a spiritual guru help kids with success in life ?*

------------------

We already started 2024 Child Foundation class with 100+ kids. Got a query from a member on how we can take that course.

------------------

Guruji is a gold medalist in Engineering, has topped in Management Studies, has advanced degree in Law and also advanced degree in psychology. He has excelled in academics. Guruji is also a successful professional, working in leadership role in a top firm in India, with presence across globe. The firm is a leader in industry for 40+ years, with more than 3 lakh employees. Guruji is the sole inventor of first granted US patent of this firm, which is a historical milestone for the firm. With several patents, authored books, research papers, and chair role in leading conferences he has established a mark in professional life as well, much beyond just a role in the firm. On family life, he is living a happy life with wife and two kids. Wife has also got Srividya poorna diksha, and both kids doing well in studies, puja, yoga, music, martial arts and several other areas. On Spiritual side as well, he is not limited to just tantra and yoga, he is also a reiki master, advanced level pranic healer, several certifications in hypnotherapy and proper learning and understanding on several philosophies and sampradayas under different qualified Gurus. His grip on Astrology, Vaastu, Siddha and several spiritual topics is well known to his students across the globe, and Guru linage in these topics is mentioned in Svtp website. In addition to this, it is not just advanced degree in psychology, he also have several research publications and certifications on psychology, similar to achievements in management and engineering. Most of the people you can get for helping your kid is - counseling from a person having a degree or online certification, or might just be a healer to give positivity, or may be just a spiritual instructor to teach some topic or just a motivational speaker who can motivate. This is no match to Guruji who has been exceptional in academics, work, presentation, research, innovation, spiritual guidance, counseling, consulting, family life, and almost every aspect he has handled. *It is almost impossible to find someone more qualified to help your kid achieve all round success in life.* So parents and kids who miss this opportunity of foundation course for kids are at a major loss.

THE LIFE IN BULLETPOINTS.

adopted & raised in aurora bay at a young age by two reiki masters - rock & andy tully - that traveled along the tri-state area for in-home treatments.

grew up wanting to become an actress by any means necessary and was prone to putting on shows for anyone who would watch, which got her into a ton of trouble as a kid - earning her a certified class clown title.

her adoptive parents were very much free spirited and encouraged mikayla to hone in on her creative side despite the trouble she got into at school. truthfully they didn't put much stock into her education, instead focused on allowing her to grow her social butterfly wings.

mikayla was always the first at the party and the last to leave. striking up a conversation with every person no matter where she was seemed to be her motive. all she ever wanted was to experience life and get to know every single person in it.

tw cancer: eventually andy was diagnosed with cancer when mikayla was 11 years old, causing a strain and struggle within the household. mikayla got worse with acting out. after a grueling year, andy was then given the ok-go with remission, which was a relief

around 13-15 is when mikayla started to write her own plays, acting in front of her home camera to record and send to studios that never got back to her.

goes to county college for a month as undecided and flunks out

thus began her constant rotation of jobs and getting fired/hired around aurora bay as a teen and well into her 20s. she was constantly seeking new opportunities with the intent on meeting new people.

tw death: unfortunately andy would pass when mikayla was just shy of her 20th birthday, leaving her in shambles.

for the next 13 years, she'd float around her hometown and get an apartment at ocean crest apartments once her father, rock, moved out of town - too reminded of his wife in the town they'd lived in. mikayla, on the other hand, refused to leave.

continuously getting in trouble with love, life, and the chaos surrounding her, mikayla anne tully has been frozen in time - and somehow has made it to her 30s.

she still wishes she could become an actress, but for now, she's working at luxe crystal shop in an attempt to feel closer to her tully family - finally embarking on a full-time job she actually believes in.

Jewitch Self-Analysis: Regular Practice

I'm well past the hyperfocus that led to me making this blog last summer, and I've been analyzing where I'm at with my regular magic practice. It's funny, for as much as I love the energy and mindsets that surround the witchy community, I'm not what you would call an active practitioner? And I think I'm accepting this fact, more than I was before when I had grandiose plans for the Jewitch I wanted to be.

A little background to what contributed to this conclusion.

I tried out tarot divination 100 days in a row, from a daily card pull to a more in-depth spread. It turned from trying to predict the day to a simple daily reflection before I went to bed. Then about as soon as I completed the challenge I set down my cards I haven't picked them up since. These days I just pay attention to anything unusual, and frequently my shuffled songs bring up music that reflects where I'm at. I came to this realization that I don't need to try to predict my future, because I know I can adapt to anything that comes my way.

I took a Reiki class to develop my energy work skills, and I have not kept up with the daily practice my instructor insisted on. I do a self-treatment once in a blue moon, but overall it requires more energy to practice than I feel I receive from it. I also haven't been in a situation where I needed any additional healing, because I am generally in pretty safe situations and feel unbothered by little burns or bruises that serve to remind me of my humanity.

A month ago I stuck up a mezuzah in my car, and I saw that it didn't have a Shemah scroll inside it. And my thought was, "that's okay, I carry the Shemah inside of me." I still kiss the little mezuzah with the intentions of protection while driving and to deter potential thieves, knowing that ultimately I am actually passing on that intention to the universe which will decide how to handle it.

With all of this, I feel that the only spell I am casting on the regular is "trust the universe." Both with my daily prayers to express gratitude, and frequent thoughts of trust. By practicing so little I feel I am investing the power of my trust into HaShem, and I am consistently rewarded with a beautiful life and no more weight than what I can carry.

Sometimes I'll do easy extra spells if I want a little extra oomph. I may engage in a little magic to prepare me for the day, simple things like adding intention to my breakfast to increase my energy, or sometimes moving my hands in motions of protection when I know it's going to be rough (usually when it's windy, which can drain me). I use a particular hand motion to combat my anxiety, and I sing mindlessly to center myself or improve focus.

And that's about it. These topics interest me, I like collecting resources and skills to stick in my back pocket, but overall I am not what past me would consider a true practitioner. And that's okay. I'm at peace with the passive Jewitch I am right now.

[dasenergi-diary]

A post just for me. Another student made these gifs from our final class with Rebecca yesterday, demonstrating how much she talks with her hands. I think they're funny.

And it dawned on me this morning - what I learned from her class isn't necessarily topics I can monetize and teach others like Tarot Cards, Akashic Readings, and Reiki.

What she really taught is a new way to look at the world. A way to understand all of the life and consciousness that surrounds us. She showed us the lineage of mystic beliefs that have been passed down since before antiquity.

Her teachings reminded me of the Buddhas teachings.

Whereas the Buddha taught that there is suffering in life, "And if you follow my teachings the amount you suffer will decrease."

She taught life is sacred and is all around us. Listen to the trees, the wind, water. There is more to Life than we can see or hear with our eyes and ears. Feel the calling, feel the intuition, trust it, believe it.

But I think both the Buddha's and Rebecca's teaching go hand-in-hand. They both have an appreciation and reverence of nature, and we are custodians of these lands. We are the elders. We are the future ancestors.

They both teach to live with gratitude and appreciation for our time here right now.

March 👵🏻 2023 Monthly - Leo

Whole of your energy: 2 Pentacles

You had a finance type of reading last month, it’s more of the same in March it seems. You’re coming to the realization you can’t keep up with the pace you’ve set for yourself, juggling a million different tasks at one time, and it’s just not going anywhere. No breaks. You’ve probably been doing whatever this is for a long time. No promotions, no raises, you’ve done the work with none of the rewards. You’re wondering if you should just give up, but that’s something that terrifies you (probably because there is no replacement yet), and you just play it over and over in your mind. While you’re nonstop busy.

What’s going on in March:

5 Pentacles:

You feel abandoned by family more than anything else, but financially is just as much of a concern. They may have cut ties with you financially, for some, or just can’t help in that way. It’s possible you have debts on hold that you just can’t deal with right now. No money, get in line. What else can you do?

6 Cups:

You’re very nostalgic for a time when you had help, this Pentacle pair may be parents or grandparents that would help you anytime you needed it. The Empress shows up as a possible mother figure, or maybe you have kids. At one time there was beautiful growth towards something that really made you passionate, happy, you felt inspired & like you had a purpose. You were rewarded for your efforts, and felt like everything you touched turned to gold. These sorts of memories are so important when it comes to manifesting what you want, though I know it’s being done in a sad or regretful sort of way right now.

King of Pentacles:

If you’ve lost someone, this may be them, due to illness or a series of bad events, The Wheel of Fortune is/was spinning against them. Which may be a karmic thing outside of your control. This could be a job you’ve lost due to the same thing, or your person has, they had to downsize or something, or it could be that same job or person that you remember so fondly. A time when you felt secure 🙏

Queen of Pentacles:

Could be a grandmother, mother, a practical person of some kind with advice, they’ve been very clear and transparent as to how events have occurred in regards to moving forward with you, King of Wands. This stable Pentacle couple may have gone through their own financial disasters, regarding medical bills, lost jobs, any number of difficult things, and they can’t help you. Some may simply refuse based on the past. You may have all worked together as a team in the past, and circumstances have forced that to end. There once was growth and joy in this direction, and now there’s just busy busy busy, for no rewards, you feel like you’re digging a hole someone else is immediately filling back up. What’s the point?

9 Pentacles:

You could be separate from these people now, or expected to be. You felt like a happy family with them, they could actually be family. If you’ve lost someone literally, I’m very sorry. If this Queen of Pentacles has lost their partner, they could be leaning on you for financial or emotional support, and there’s not much you can do for them either. There is a lot of love, happiness, and regret & sadness in this row, which may mean any number of things. These may all be things from the past that need healing & release. Hakuna Moscato leans towards the silly over the heavy, hopefully that’s true, these cards do that. No worries right, what can you even do? Nothing 💯 Go easy on yourself. Reminiscing about when it was good, IS good, it helps you get specific about what you want. That won’t show up in the same way, but it will in some way. Reggie being here shows you’re being protected from “what you want” for a reason.

Signs you may be dealing with:

Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn, Pisces, Scorpio & Gemini

Oracles: ✨

“Hakuna Moscato” 🦁

20 Healing Energy 🤕

Drawing this card guides you to work with energy on a healing level. Take a class, go and receive a Reiki healing, or just sit in meditation and concentrate on mindfulness. With the healing energy of Divine love, you do not have to “know” how to do anything. Just sit quietly, set your intention and let Spirit’s love fill you up. When you are living in a vibration of healing, you not only affect yourself, but those around you. Others then can connect with your energy and their vibrations can rise as a result. There is no force to this. This is basically how energy works. Your vibrational change will effect change in the ones you are close to. Alternately this card signifies healing is taking place within a relationship.

We enter into March as:

Canary Yellow 🐤

“If you talk and do not do, you are like the Canary in his cage; beautiful but useless.”

It is suggested that you move beyond what you believe to be right and accept what is. You may not be doing your true calling. Are you living in a fantasy that you would rather pretend with? This is your opportunity to do it, or let it go. Others will soon see what you are either hiding or denying. Time to wake up or you may find yourself quite embarrassed when your true motive is revealed. Like Canary - he would rather impress than do! Be careful of working too much and neglecting the reality of your life. Do not be the person who feels that he or she will never receive what they are entitled to, and it is easier to pretend that everything is fine. Canary indicates that things are in place for miracles to happen, but they may not if you dissipate your energy. Things are built up in our minds and we are imprisoned by the story we tell about what we are doing. Do not take yourself or the project you speak of so seriously any longer. Stop and consider if you intend on doing what you say, or if you are only talking.

This is a card of realizing we own nothing. We are given inspiration from above, if we dissipate our gifts than we are not fulfilling our promise to Spirit. If you resist your voice, why have one? What in your heart do you know you could do “if you wanted to”?

What is to be learned in March:

Reggie Rust 🚫

“This path is obstructed. Re-route.”

Reggie Rust shows up because you need to reconsider your present situation. He prevented danger to the boys, and in doing so made their uncle wealthy. So remember that he is there to help you. Reggie only blocks the path, not the goal. You are at an impasse. If Reggie Rust has appeared, do not wait any longer for your situation to change. Whatever you force will reach a dead end. Things will not turn out the way you think they should. Attempting to push forward will prove futile. The wall is solid, and your will may be the only thing preventing you from surrendering. Reggie protects us from our “will”, which is not always the best for us. This is an impasse. However, there is no need to despair. Reggie serves an important purpose for us. He reminds us that our path is guided, and while we may wish to forge the road ahead on a particular route, it may be laden with poisonous flowers. Reggie serves to protect us. Be grateful he is here, for you are being protected.

Orange/Rust may be a lucky color 🧡

Willing Student - A Spiritual Story

In all the classes that I’ve led or co-led with someone fabulous, I’ve learned as much if not more than any of the students who attended them. In so many classes there have been interesting circumstances. One that has popped up a lot, is that the people who were drawn and attracted to the classes, were often in some emotional need for themselves and for their own growth. In other cases students had cups that were too full and during the classes they took with me and my co-instructors, we openly encouraged and inspired them to empty some of their cups and make room for new input to be dropped in.

 I remember in one specific Reiki class there was a beautiful young student attending, whose foundation was based in India. I could usually see in an individual's energetic fields that they had foundations with cracks where the past hurts, some pain and definitely challenge had lived. What I didn’t understand at that time was I saw no cracks in her foundation, and while the class was meditating into a higher plane, I asked the guides silently what that meant, and was that the ultimate ideal situation?

My guides said that the cracks were an indicator that more light was able to get in. The greater the cracks, the more the light could enter. They then showed me that in my sweet young student’s case of no cracks at all, it was because she grew up in a zen type of environment, and her foundation was controlled. She was encouraged to be calm, and not feel any specific emotion other than that of peace. I was shown that being only in peace and not experiencing any real emotions, wasn’t entirely balanced either.

During the class she saw where her emotions had been shut off and at the point of true realization, she completely broke down. Her tears fell and the cracks in her foundation appeared. When she had composed herself once more, the light that shone through her was extraordinary. She was a willing student who wanted to understand how to be more open and more emotionally available for her authentic life.

[heavenafterhell]

About a month ago , I attended Elements Music and Arts Festival , where I also attended my first Lightcode set . It’s a guided meditation and sound bath curated by Sami Diament aka LSDream . At his LSDream set I had a moment where I felt whole for the first time since I can remember , and at Lightcode I had a healing moment where I allowed myself to accept love , and release areas of my life where I felt unloved .

I have very bad ADHD , so I’ve always struggled with quieting both my body and mind . I left the Lightcode set feeling proud at what I had accomplished . When I returned home , I wanted to continue my practice , and found a Wellness Studio nearby that hosts weekly guided meditations and sound baths . I’ve been attending each week now , without fail , and it’s honestly done more for me than my recent therapists have . Each week has a different theme : Manifestation , healing your inner child , letting go , and this week was self love .

At the begining of each practice we often set our intention , and at the end of each practice we share a bit about what our experience was like . When I arrived today I found that I was the only one who had signed up for the class . Where I was the only one to turn her attention to , the woman and I got to talking a little bit more in depth about the journey I am on . We always relate the theme to our own experiences in very general and surface level ways , but today I got to share a bit more of what is beneath the surface , and why I am there .

Meditation and Reiki , is about healing through energy and frequency . I shared a bit about myself without being specific , and the woman reminded me that when we radiate at a higher frequency , those with lower frequencies will fall away . It was absolutely what I needed to hear in that moment , and a nod from the universe that I’m on the right path , making the right choices , at the right time .

The themes I keep returning to within my individual practice have been letting go, acceptance , and trusting myself . I’ve felt more assured in myself lately than ever ; I’m learning to stop seeking that outside validation , but those reminders really do so much to encourage my growth , assure my path , and validate my experience . Essentially , I just wanted to share how powerful incorporating meditation and sound healing into my life has been for me .

I can’t recommend meditating enough . I have always been one of the people to say “ I’m bad at it , I can’t shut off my brain , etc .” That negative self talk does nothing . Your brain will believe what you tell it . Having this dedicated space to go to , with an experienced guide , has really helped me to release myself from the negative cycles that have been holding me back , and more clearly see who I am , the life that is destined for me , and how to get there .

Everything is on the Universes time . 🪷

Reiki 2 Course: The Heart of Healing Beyond Space-Time

October 12 @ 09:00 - 16:00 EDT

Reiki 2 Course with Certificate

The three Reiki 2 symbols

Learn how to work with 3 Reiki symbols:

Cho Ku Rei: The power symbol

Sei he ki: The protection and connection symbol

Hon Sho Ze Sha Nen: The distance healing symbol

We will discuss the meaning of the symbols, how to say and draw

azthem, and when and how to use them. You will also get a training manual and lots of practice.

These symbols have been used for more than 100 years and have the most stunning, beautiful energy.

We will explore how to safely get the vibration of new symbols before receiving attunements and how to set healthy boundaries as an energy healer. Usui Reiki is very pure and has lovely high vibrations, but it is always important to be empowered and aware with your spiritual practices.

Distance Healing

We will also go over the dos and don’ts for distance healing, get some more practice and learn simple techniques that you can always use in your healing practice.

With distance healing, when you first start out, it helps to find a partner who is willing to receive the healing at a specific time each day for a while. Then you can compare notes and get a feeling for the energy.

Each modality of energy healing has its own vibrational frequencies, and it takes time to become conscious of the energies and sense them clearly. It really helps to have a designated partner – preferably with significant health problems and a high level of sensitivity and openness. Everyone’s energy is different, and you will find some individuals much easier to perceive and to influence than others. It is a good idea to work with someone with whom you have a high compatability.

Working with the Reiki 2 Symbols gives you tools for a lifetime, but getting comfortable and familiar with them takes some effort.

Join our participatory Reiki 2 course and cover:

When to use the symbols

The vibrational frequency of the symbols

Ways to draw the symbols

Ways to work remotely

Trusting your senses and opening your perceptions

Parallel processing

The suspension of disbelief

Preparing to work

Working with pain

Engaging with fatigue

Working with detoxification

Healing the emotions

Working with Reiki in conjunction with pressure points, chakras and subtle bodies

Avoiding being the object of projections from vulnerable clients

Connecting the Dots: A Journey from Academia to International NLP Trainer"

The dots always connect

I am going to take you through the journey of How I became an Internationally Certified Trainer

Many people ask me "when I get into Training & Coaching and "how" I can get such great results for my clients and students.

Well, it's a long story that goes back to 2008. I was 27 then, working as a Lecturer in an MBA Institute.

I attended one workshop in which I was introduced to the concept of the subconscious mind, which was alien to me. I was not aware that we have 2 minds, conscious& subconscious & how they function. When I saw, heard & experienced the power of the subconscious mind I got crazy.

Something inside me got ignited. It was like I had got an ‘Aladdin’s Lamp’. I got super excited & started reading book after book on mind programming. I remember doing various courses on weekends & as I implemented those techniques, I saw my life changing in a different & positive direction. Some changes were so fast & promising that I got an inner voice saying that I should expand my knowledge with others.

I remember it was 2010 & I was attending a program on Mind Power & suddenly a mental picture came to my mind, in which I was giving training to a large audience, very much like the one I have attached to this post. That image stuck with me till now in my mind deep down inside, very firm, big, bright & larger than life. Every step I took was because of this beautiful image only.

Now I realize it was a process of creative visualization which I was doing regularly without knowing much of the subject.

I tried various technologies to understand how I can make life better for myself & others. I did reiki, hypnosis, meditation, yoga, EFT, etc. but found all my answers when I entered into the field of NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming).

To learn NLP from various masters, I traveled to several countries on different continents & the journey continues.

 I feel grateful & honored to learn NLP from the co-creator of NLP ‘Dr. Richard Bandler’ & also happy to share that I am a Certified Practitioner of New Code NLP from ‘Dr. John Grinder & a Certified Trainer from ‘Dr. Tad James’ Co. American Board of NLP.

To do all this I invested the majority of my money & time to make my inner image come true.

While working as a Professor in a B school I conducted training during the weekend & coaching sessions during evening time.  Every success of my client was fuel for me to move ahead.

Finally, in 2019 I decided to quit my job to start my Training & Coaching firm ‘NLP Infinite’.

During the journey, I could solve the problems of many people including doctors, engineers, HR professionals, marketing professionals, army men, psychologists, sports coaches, lawyers, students, entrepreneurs & many more. The internal image only gave me the courage to stand in front of top executives while working with Corporate clients; the clients, whose experience was more than my age.  

Looking back at the journey of the old Yogesh, who was having a lot of issues of self-worth, the old me who was afraid to talk in front of people & who got rewarded for not speaking in class now has got transformed into a World-class International Trainer. The journey was like a roller coaster ride but it was just amazing & I could see a more beautiful journey coming ahead. During the journey the toughest part was to get rid of my old self & enter into new sel. It is always easy to remain in the old, known & safe place rather than getting into the adventure of discovering our true potential & possibilities.

The reason I wanted to tell this story is this: - When your "Why" and "What" are clear, your "How" and "When" will take care of themselves.

The dots always connect even if it does not seem so right now. I am a living example.

Let me know what you think of my life story.

Taming the Beast Within Ch.7

“Kyoko! Your test results from U.A are here!” Reiki called out to her daughter, who was currently taking her turn at washing that nights dishes. She dries off her hands with a pure white dish towel and goes over to her mother who hands her the envelope.

Kyoko heads to her room and opens the envelope. Inside was a small grey disk that projected an image of All Might above her desk.

“This is a message for Kyoko Nozomi. Last week during your entrance exam, you scored an impressive 85% on your written exam. And while you didn’t show much use of your quirk during the practical exam, you did show an impressive display of quick thinking and agility. This alone earned you a total of 52 hero points and 5 rescue points for a total of 57 points. And so, it is with great pride and honor that I say to you, Kyoko Nozomi… Welcome to U.A!”

I passed…?

I passed!

“I passed!” Kyoko shouted joyfully “Mom! Mom! I passed! I passed!”

Reiki had taken over the dishes when Kyoko came bolting down the stairs and into the kitchen, nearly slipping on the hardwood floor in her excitement.

“Careful dear! What’s got you all riled up, Kyoko?”

“Mom… I passed my entrance exam.”

Reiki’s eyes widened, a mix of disbelief, shock, and happiness swirling in her eyes.

“Say that again, dear.”

Kyoko smiled at her mother “I passed, mom. I passed my entrance exam for U.A.”

Reiki slowly covered her mouth with her hands, tears of joy pooling in her eyes. Less then a second later, she pulls her daughter into a tight hug, which Kyoko gladly returns.

“Oh, Kyoko! I’m so proud of you!”

The next day…

Kyoko had just finished putting on her U.A uniform and was looking herself over in the mirror.

Not bad… Although… I’m not sure how I feel about the skirt.

She exited her bedroom, walked down the stairs, and quickly ate the breakfast her mother had made for her before heading for the front door.

“Kyoko, wait.” Her mother requested from the living space “Let me see you in your U.A uniform.”

Kyoko stopped and modeled the uniform for her mother, who was wiping joyful tears from her eyes.

“My little baby’s all grown up.” Reiki chokes out while wiping more tears out of her eyes.

“Aww, mom. Please don’t cry.”

“I’m sorry. It’s just… I’m so proud of you right now!”

Kyoko hugs her mother, who hugs her daughter right back.

“Have a great day. I’m sure you’ll make an amazing impression. But, above all else, have fun, ok?”

“I will. I’ll tell you everything when I come home.”

Kyoko gives her mother one last hug before turning around, grabbing her backpack, and heading out the front door.

It didn’t take long for Kyoko to reach the school. She jogged through the hallways looking for her assigned class.

Let’s see… My class number is 1-A… Now where is that?

After a bit of searching, Kyoko came across a large brown door with a red 1-A painted on its surface.

This must be it.

She reached for the door but stopped when she noticed a tuft of green out of the corner of her eye.

“Oh, Midoriya! Hey!”

“Oh, it’s you. Nozomi, right?”

Kyoko nods her head “Yep. If you’re here, then I guess you must’ve passed the entrance exam, right? Congratulations!”

Midoriya gave her a small smile at this “Thanks. You must’ve passed too. Congratulations!”

“Heh, thanks."

Kyoko noticed that Midoriya looked nervous “Hey, what’s wrong Midoriya? Are you feeling ok?”

The green-haired boy let out a small yelp as he was snapped out of his apparent daydream “Y-yeah, I’m just a little worried about whose in our class.”

“I’m sure everyone is.”

Midoriya doesn’t say another word as he slides the door open, only to be met with…

“Get your feet off of that desk this instant!”

It’s that strict guy from the entrance exam.

“It’s the first day and you’re already disrespecting this academy by scuffing school property!”

Kyoko noticed something familiar about the guy that the glasses student was talking to. Spiky, ash-blond hair that looked painful to the touch.

That’s the guy that bumped into me before I even entered the school!

Kyoko swallowed and turned to Midoriya “H-hey Midoriya.”

Her soon-to-be-classmate turns to her and gives a small hum of acknowledgement.

“Who’s that?”

“Who are you talking about?”

She points to the boy who was speaking to the glasses student “Him. The one with the spiky hair.”

Midoriya froze for a second “Th-That’s Kacchan.”

Kacchan, huh? That’s an odd name.

“Do you think… I could go talk to him?” Midoriya gave Kyoko a worried look, gulped and decided to answer her potentially dangerous question “Y-Yeah, you could try but I wouldn’t…”

Unfortunately, Midoriya didn’t have time to finish before Kyoko started to walk over to the spiky-haired teen.

“Ahh! Nozomi wait!”

Kyoko’s heart began to pound in her chest. Both from nerves and from a certain aura that this “Kacchan” seemed to have surrounding him.

“Um, e-excuse me.”

“Kacchan” turned his head in her direction, crimson eyes bore into hers, sending a chill racing down her spine.

Kyoko gulped down what little saliva was in her mouth “Y-You’re Kacchan? Right?”

“Kacchan’s” eyes widened and a growl escaped his throat as he stood up from his desk and grabbed the collar of Kyoko’s uniform shirt.

“What… the hell… DID YOU JUST CALL ME?!”

“K-Kacchan!”

This answer caused his grip to tighten its hold on Kyoko’s shirt.

“Don’t you dare call me by that name!”

“B-But, I thought that was your name!”

“HELL NO IT’S NOT!”

Kyoko pressed down her nerves as much as she could before she responded with her next question.

“Well, what is your name? I-If you don’t mind me asking?”

The teen holding her let out another growl while narrowing his eyes “Tch. Fine. But I’ll only tell you this once so you better damn well listen.”

“My name is Katsuki Bakugou and I will be the next number one hero. The one who surpasses All Might! And I’m not going to let anything or anyone stand in my way. Got that?”

Kyoko gulped heavily “Noted…” She squeaks out, her voice halfway caught in her throat.

“Good.” Bakugou says before finally letting go of her collar, which in turn makes her drop to the tile floor.

“Are you alright?”

The glasses student from earlier is now stand over her, holding out his hand to help her up from the floor.

Kyoko grabs it and wobbles a bit from both her encounter with Bakugou and the height difference between the two.

“It’s my first day at U.A and I’m already terrified. That’s got to be a new record.” Kyoko half-heartedly jokes as she tries to regain her balance.

“You’re Kyoko Nozomi, correct?”

Kyoko nods in order to confirm the student’s question.

“Allow me to introduce myself. I am Tenya Iida from the Somei Private Academy.”

Somei…! Only people that are considered the smartest or those that get the best grades can get into that school!

Iida then turns to the entrance way.

“It’s him.” He mutters which causes the other heads in the room to turn towards a nervous Midoriya.

“Uh, hi.”

“Good morning!” Iida greets the flustered looking Midoriya “My name is Tenya Iida from…”

“I-I know.” Midoriya cuts him off while raising his hands up in front of him “I’m Izuku Midoriya. It’s nice to meet you.”

“I must admit, I misjudged you during the entrance exam. You realized that there was something more to the practical exam.”

“Hey! I recognize that messed-up hair! Falling boy!”

The girl that saved him during the practical exam.

Kyoko noticed that Midoriya was fidgeting a lot and that his face was turning light red as that girl was talking to him.

Aww! He must have a little puppy crush on her. That’s honestly adorable.

“If you’re here to make friends then you can pack up your stuff now.”

A deep, gruff voice cut through the air. Kyoko looked for the source of the voice, only to notice a large yellow object near the front of the room.

What… is that?!

“Welcome to U. A’s hero course.” The voice explains lazily before standing up and revealing a scruffy looking man with a long scarf loosely wrapped around his neck.

“It took a full eight seconds before you all shut up. That’s not going to work. Time is precious. Rational students would understand that.”

Is… Is this our teacher? No… he can’t be.

“Hello, I’m Shota Aizawa. Your teacher.”

Me and my big… mind.

“Right, let’s get to it.” Aizawa states nonchalantly before pulling out a blue uniform with red and white strips styled to look similar to the U.A logo from his sleeping bag “Put these on and head outside.”

Something tells me…

That things are going to be interesting with a teacher like him.
