Spring - Really?

It's hard to believe that we're already at the end of April with May just around the corner. If you live in an area where the weather has been less than spring-like like I do, why not take a mini-vacation and schedule yourself a Reiki session? A Reiki session will leave you feeling relaxed, destressed and feeling like you took a vacation to a far-away place.

Since receiving my certification as a Reiki Master Teacher last fall, I've taught Reiki Levels I and II and feel honored to have taught some amazing women. They are all awesome and I'm always in awe of their stories and willingness to grow spiritually taking that out into all areas of their lives. The more of us there are out there doing Reiki, the more the light grows and I know one day we will all live in peace and harmony, caring and lifting each other up to heights that seem insurmountable now. We will get there - one Reiki practitioner at a time.

Need a Tune-Up?

Have you been feeling out-of-sorts or unbalanced? It could be that your chakras are in need of a fall tune-up. There are different ways our chakras can become dysfunctional. They can be too open or too closed and they can be spinning too fast or too slow. Problems may occur for different reasons but many of them stem from an emotional root. The chakras absorb energy that comes from our thoughts, feelings and outside environment and feed this to our body. For instance, if we have negative feelings, we will be filtering negative energy through our chakras and into our body. Over time this can manifest in the body as illness or disease. Our chakras also absorb energy from the environment. Other people’s negative emotions or a room full of clutter can also produce an unhealthy energy which we absorb through our chakras.


We cannot always avoid negative energy from others or our environment, but we can change our feelings from negative to positive to protect ourselves from this energy. Keeping our chakras in tip-top condition is the key, in other words keeping them spinning in balance. Chakra balancing is a bit like fall-cleaning the chakras and fine-tuning them.

In a Chakra Balancing session we will begin by setting an intention for your session. Then we will open your aura signaling to your Higher Self that we will be working for your highest and greatest good and for the good of all. Then working a few inches above each chakra, we will clear each of your chakras beginning at the Crown Chakra and working down towards your Root Chakra. Once the clearing has taken place, we will balance and align your chakras and finally, we will close your aura.

Balanced chakras are one way to keep your body healthy and vibrant. Much like your car needs a tune-up every now and then to keep it running smoothly, so too does your body. So leave that teeter-totter feeling behind and schedule your Chakra Balancing session at Loving Heart Reiki, LLC.

Karuna Reiki®

Back in May I travelled to Sedona, AR to participate in Karuna Reiki® classes. It was an amazing experience and I'm grateful for the compassion that Karuna Reiki® extends to those who are receiving it, as well as to those who are giving it.

Karuna Reiki® was developed by William Rand and The International Center for Reiki Training and is based on traditional Usui and Tibetan Reiki. Karuna Reiki® is a healing energy that assists us in awakening to Universal compassion allowing us to shine a light into those areas of our being where we hold judgements, criticism and unloving thoughts towards ourselves, others or the world. Karuna Reiki® enhances our ability to see everyone and everything through the eyes of the Divine.

Karuna is a Sanskrit word and is used in Hinduism and Buddhism. It is translanted to mean any action that is taken to diminish the suffering of others and could also be translated as “compassionate action.” Through our awakened consciousness our ability to have Universal or unconditional compassion helps us to alleviate our own and other’s suffering. In this process of healing we can understand that there is a Divine plan for all creation and that we are all part of that perfect plan.

Karuna Reiki® helps us develop an awareness of those personality traits that have been blocking us or perhaps causing us to doubt or fear our inner guidance. It also helps us to accept love and heal the shadows within our personality. Karuna Reiki® is the energy of compassion in action, teaching us to have compassion for ourselves and for others. It helps to harmonize the upper and lower chakras, helping us to discern guidance and wisdom for the Divine and moving us into the physical realm of manifestation where we are empowered to heal.

Karuna Reiki® goes very deep, gently but quickly, and it takes on many forms such as intense heat, coolness, tingling or pulsing. As issues arise that require healing, they can be acknowledged, processed and healed in moments because they are dealt with in their fundamental energetic form. Therefore, when appropriate, Karuna Reiki® can bring about deep emotional healing without the recipient being aware of or having to re-live an unpleasant or traumatic life experience.

As Karuna Reiki® assists us in recognizing repressed thoughts, emotions or beliefs these feelings can be released at a deep cellular level and through Universal compassion, foundations for healthy new patterns can be created. Although Karuna Reiki® facilitates healing, it does not do the healing, it simply assists by reflecting information to the body’s systems to allow for healing to take place within the person. Karuna Reiki® can assist in healing on all levels, physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.

I look forward to sharing this wonderful new healing modality with you!
