NIH CORE week

2009-01-19T05:17:00.003-05:00

The day is fast approaching where I'll be traveling to our nation's capital to speak at NIH about Reiki! It's pretty exciting stuff ...AND I feel completely ready for it. I guess in a sense it's also true that NIH must be ready for me as well because it seemed so easy to be selected as one of the presenters. Just another example of "if it's right, it's easy". I oh-so love how this stuff works!

If you'd like to see the full week's agenda this link will open a .pdf. All events are free to the public and NIH employees. There's lots planned throughout the week so I've arranged things here on the home front to be up there for several days before my presentation. I'm so looking forward to meeting new people and learning from them. I'm also excited to be staying with my sister and getting some one-on-one time with her. I'm even trying to entice her to attend some of the other presentations with me.

My offering will be on Friday 2/13, a auspicious day in my world because it is the birthday of both my father-in-law and one of my nephews....the good stuff never ends I tell ya!

Here's the official title and description of my presentation which begins at 11:00 am:

Introduction to Reiki: a Japanese healing art that promotes Balance and Well-Being

Learn how vibration supports health and the aging process via Reiki (ray-key) in this hands-on class. Participants will be shown how to activate Reiki and experience what it feels like to treat themselves and others.

Location: 6001 Executive Boulevard (Neuroscience Bldg)
Rockville, MD 20852. Paid Parking Available.
Metro Stop is White Flint.

If you live in the area I'd love to meet you....

Love,
Diane

Happy Brand Spanking New 2009!

2009-01-05T07:26:00.008-05:00

I'm baaaaack! Pretty much took a break from my online routine over the holidays. I had much going on with family and friends celebrating our favorite annual traditions. I decided early on I had to put some stuff aside to have any hope at all of being present (both in mind and body) for the festivities. I had lots of fun, learned something new (which I'll tell you about later), and feel refreshed and ready for what's next.

So it feels Great to be back, kinda like how one feels when returning from a vacation from a spot that had no connection to the outside world. I'm looking forward to another healthy, happy abundantly powerful year that also brings with it a speedy shift away from the most talked about subject on the lips of almost everyone = fears about no money and no jobs.

There are signs everywhere that things are shifting in the direction we all want. One only needs to look for them. In our home the financial flow is picking up speed at an exciting rate and I'm sure it's because our practice is to refrain from thinking what we see with our eyes is the only thing that is "real". Instead we make it a point to focus our mind, heart and daily actions on creating the Real we want to see. As a result it's been amazing to watch our imagination become so "Real" we can see it with our eyes.

Got lots to share. Got lots coming up. Got lots to do today. So I'm going to reign in today's share only so I don't overwhelm you...or myself for that matter.

I'll be back soon with More. May your day be filled with seeing your imaginings become "real"...

Love always,
Diane

Reiki at NIH

2008-11-20T09:35:00.001-05:00

Wanted to share some good news I received yesterday. I have been selected to offer my Reiki Class at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, MD in February! It is one of many programs they are providing during CORE WEEK (stands for Conditioning and Relaxation) for employees and guests of NIH. Way cool, eh? What an honor!

When I have all the details I'll post them here.

Kirlian Photography

2008-11-19T10:24:00.030-05:00

Since Reiki is about energy, and my practice is to be aware of what energy I am both receiving a projecting, I dug out the Kirlian Photo I had taken a little over a year ago to use as a touchstone.

The day this photo was taken I was in the middle of a trip to Oregon where I was facilitating a couple of VisionBoard workshops. Whenever I travel I make it a point to visit the local botanical garden and a new age shop. Both places never fail to recharge me when I'm in unfamiliar territory.

On a whim I decided to have this photo taken. When I was shown the photo I had no idea what it meant, yet I felt a surge of knowing it was an accurate gauge of where I was energetically that day.

As I was checking out, the clerk told me he wanted to gift me with a crystal. As he placed it in my hands he told me it was a double terminated Tibetan smoky quartz which helps with our ability to give and receive Divine Energy.

I was stunned silent. Here was this person I'd never seen before gifting me with this huge crystal that emanated this wonderful energy? Once I recovered my composure I thanked him profusely. He did not reference the photo at all, yet as I was reading the interpretation in my car a few moments later I felt it was his way of supporting my path.

I realize there is lots of debate around Kirlian Photography. What I know for sure is we can find "proof" for whatever "truth" we choose to align with. That's one of the best things about being alive!

As for me? I want to enjoy being alive. So I purposely look for reasons to do so. This picture helps me to stay connected to what I want.

The Practice

2008-10-20T07:41:00.005-04:00

Today the practice is noticing when my thoughts wander to worry.

Each time this happens I take a take a deep, cleansing breath to become present, connect with All That Is, and align myself with It.

When I feel my balance restored, I will choose what to DO next....

Reiki I Training Class

2008-10-08T12:11:00.006-04:00

Happy mid-week!

Just a spring is a time of renewal, fall is one of transition. I'm pleased to announce that I have decided to focus my personal and professional energy on Reiki. The transition has been easy and effortless, even though it consumes every waking moment of my days. This is a Good Thing though, because I know from experience it means I am right where I'm supposed to be Right Now.

I'm pleased to announce that I have a Reiki I training class scheduled for Thursday, October 23, 2008 from 8:30 am to 6 pm ET. I have space for 8 here at my cozy home in Snow Hill, MD. I would be honored to have you attend.

Your investment in this comprehensive training is just $100. Visit my brand-spanking new web site ReikiVibe.com to find the agenda for the class. You can even enroll via a safe and dependable PayPal link so I have an up-to-date count of how much instructional material to prepare.

This will be my last training class of this year. However I am offering Reiki Treatments, and my monthly Reiki Shares, right through December 2008. Again my web site ReikiVibe.com will give you more details.

Until later then,
Love always,
Diane

Reiki Treatments

Women Supporting Women is a local non-profit that supports women with breast cancer from diagnosis through the healing process and beyond. Several close friends and family have stepped through the fire that is breast cancer and survived. All of them cite WSW as one of the reasons they were able to stay sane.

In honor of my peeps, and as a way to pay it forward for someone else to have the same opportunity I'm donating $5 from each Reiki Treatment I give during October to Women Supporting Women.

Here's my schedule:

Serenity Shoppe in Snow Hill on Tuesday's.
The number to book an appointment is 410-632-1550.

This is a great way to take care of someone else by taking care of you. Hope to see you soon...

What's Coming Up

2008-09-24T11:23:00.011-04:00

In Reiki tradition, practitioners often offer regular Reiki Shares where members of the public can come to be introduced to Reiki, or if you already practice Reiki, a Reiki Share is a place where you can deepen your connection to Reiki energy. I'm committed to facilitating two Reiki Shares per month and I'm really enjoying it. Everyone who attends will get lots of hands-on practice in sensing the flow of Reiki energy.

The first Thursday of each month I'll be at the south end of my county, and the last Tuesday I'll facilitate a Share at the north end. Of course I'm open to travel from Maine to Spain as well! Maybe we can set something up in your neck of the woods?

Just when I was thinking this schedule would spread things out, it just-so happens that next week both shares will be going on. Boy-oh-boy the energy's goin' to be flowing! Hope to see you there...
