1. Interesting Reiki Stories:
Reiki stories are posted as a way to help keep us inspired and to remember to use Reiki
as a tool in healing. If you have an experience or story to share, please forward it to us,
otherwise I will try to post a story or two monthly that I find on the web.
Natural Pain Reliever
I need to tell you last week I was visiting one of my daughters. Melissa was outside with all
4 of her children when I arrived unexpectedly. Her husband was working on her car and
Melissa was telling me how her neck and shoulder was so tight and painful. I recall what
you said about your aunt. I did an intention in my mind and kept talking and put my hand
on her shoulder area as we spoke. At one point Melissa mention how warm my hand was
but I continued to talk and laugh and watching the grandkids running all over. I said my
goodbyes a short time later. Melissa called me later that night and said, "I don't know if
you did Reiki on me, but whatever you did worked". She told me later on that night she
realized she had no more pain. I just said, glad your feeling better. Submitted by Linda T

2. Requests for Long Distance Healing:
Requests for Long Distance Healing:
When there are several requests, in our small way, we can participate by adding each
individual to our prayer list or to send long distance Reiki. Please consider printing out
these requests so you can remember these people over this next month.
If you make a request for long distance healing, it would be helpful if you could provide us
with some feedback on how the person is doing after a period of time.Remember if there
are multiple requests, you can use the stack method of sending long distance Reiki. One
suggestion would be: When time permits-- send long distance Reiki for one specific
request, then add that request to an on-going list or stack that receives
unlimited Reiki.
Level I Practitioners:
You can participate in the Long Distance Requests by adding the individuals to your
prayer list or send positive thoughts and intentions.

3. Q & A
QUESTION:
Should I ground myself when I prepare to give a Reiki session to another person?
ANSWER:
When preparing to give a Reiki session to another individual, I feel it is helpful to ground
yourself at the beginning of the session. I always do a personal body scan to assess what
is going on within me and if I am experiencing any aches or pains. This has become my
was of determining whether something going on belongs to me or the person I am giving
Reiki to. If I am feeling ache-free before beginning and suddenly experience a painful
sensation somewhere in my body, I have learned it usually represents one of two things,
their is an energetic release going on in the other person, but it is coming through me, in
which case, I let it go. Or it can mean for me to move to that corresponding spot on the
individual to place my hands in that position, which then tends to very quickly release the
ache or pain on my body. So that is the first thing I do before even beginning a session.
Once I have activated the Reiki energy to turn on and I become the channel, I ground
myself by imagining roots growing out the bottom of my feet. I also instruct the client to do
this grounding as well. I will tell them to use the root visualization for a two fold purpose.
The root system can be one way for them to allow energy that is no longer needed to exit
the body, going into the earth to be transformed to a higher vibration. The other way to
use the root system is for them to absorb any nourishment from Mother Earth that would
benefit them at the current time. It is not a required step, but it is one I feel works as a
best practice for me when giving Reiki to others. - Susan

Videos:
Enjoy the Ride ( 3:20)
The author of this powerful video is unknown. However, a large majority of its content is from a
newsletter authored by Jon Gordon, which can be accessed here.
Some more of its content should be attributed to Pulitzer Prize- winning columnist Regina Brett of the
Cleveland Beacon Journal in her article "45 life lessons and 5 to grow on"
In addition, the main soundtrack on the video, "The Impossible Dream" from Man of La Mancha is
performed by Bronn Journey. It is Track # 9 on his album Life is Beautiful, and can be accessed here.
Order Through Chaos in Ascension (4:11)
Only in chaos is order to be found within the dualistic dimension that is Earth and sense is then made of
intelligent light as the heart energy of love merges with that light - bringing an Ascension experience -
that knows no boundaries.
Activation of the Indigo Children (6:22)
The Indigos shall incarnate within the veil of forgetfullness but as the golden ones incarnate and activate
the grid, so shall they activate the Indigo children, many of whom are now adults and are parents to new
Indigos and Crystals

7. Working with Others:
Everything is Vibration by Jonathan Goldman
From the chair that you may be sitting in to the computer you are reading this on, everything is in a state
of vibration. This is not a new idea. Our ancient mystics have known this for many a millennium, but now
our scientists are beginning to understand this and agree with this. It is a wonderful start.
From the electrons spinning around the nucleus of an atom, to the planets spinning around suns in the
galaxy, everything is in movement. Everything is in vibration. And if it is in vibration, it is putting out a
sound.
Now, whether or not we can hear this sound is a different matter. Sound travels as a wave form. First, let
us say that one way of measuring sound is how fast or slow this wave form is moving. These waves are
measured as cycles and sound is measured in cycles per second. This is called its frequency. Very
slow waves make very low sounds. Very fast waves make very high sounds. The lowest note on a piano
is about 24 cycles per second. The highest note on a piano is about 4,000 cycles per second.
Now, we hear from around 16 to about 16,000 cycles per second. Yet just because we can’t hear
something does not mean it is not vibrating, nor creating a sound. Dolphins can project and receive
information upwards of 180,000 cycles per second, more than 10 times that of humans. And this to
them is sound. Do not let the notion that if you can not hear an object it is not vibrating or making a
sound. There–we have solved the old Zen Koen asking about a tree falling in the forest.
The 'AH' Sound: To Generate Peace and Compassion
I would like to suggest that you have people use the "AH" sound, in whatever key or tone feels
comfortable for them. This is an extremely powerful sound--particularly useful for generating peace and
compassion. I know you will agree that peace and compassion are truly keys to transformation of
consciousness on this planet.
As you may know, the "AH" sound is a sacred seed syllable. It is found in most of the God and Goddess
names on the planet (Tara, Buddha, Krishna, Yah, Astara ), as well as many of the sacred words (Amen,
Alleluia, Aum). Most mystical traditions worldwide also find it to be the sound of the heart chakra. Yet, as
a vowel sound, it defies denomination or description as a mantra and is acceptable by everyone.
To do this, simply sound the “AH”, feeling the energy of peace and compassion as the sound resonates
in your heart center. While making this “AH”, visualize a beam of pink and gold energy going initially from
you and spreading throughout this planet. As you make this sound, and do this visualization, feel the
energy of peace and compassion within and without yourself. This feeling of peace while you make the
sound is essential to the effectiveness of projecting the “AH”.
Here is another exercise using the “AH” sound that is extremely beneficial for developing compassion
within self and then generating it to others. Start first with yourself and begin to tone the “AH” sound
while feeling the energy of compassion and peace within. Once you have been able to achieve this
feeling, visualize a person with whom you have neutral energy and send this energy to them while
making this sound. Finally, make the “AH” sound while sending the energy of peace and compassion to
someone with whom you’ve had some difficulty. It is this last part of the exercise that provides the
greatest opportunity for spiritual growth. It is easy to send love and peace to someone you already love.
Or, with the second part of the exercise, someone you don’t have any real feelings about. It can be a real
challenge to send compassion to someone you don’t love and whom you may consider to be an enemy.
Yet, herein lies the most extraordinary evolutionary activation that can occur on both a personal and
planetary level. If we can learn to do this, we will great assist the ascension of the Earth.

9. Tips & Tidbits:
60 Ways to Heal Your Life… From Lynda Field’s book
Each month one of Lynda’s suggestion is included:
Suggestion 41: Respect Parenthood
Parenthood is a hugely challenging area which can take us to heavenly heights or to
hellish lows. As parents we are confronted with the popular culture myths about
parenting, fatherhood and motherhood. We do an amazing job in the face of a
fundamental contradictory belief which is supported by the culture in which we live. Look
at this confusing belief: a mother has a powerful role/motherhood is not important. So, if
the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world, how come we mothers have so little status?
No wonder we get confused.
EXERCISE- KEY POINTS TO REMEMBER ABOUT PARENTHOOD
Make a list of the following points and refer to it constantly. When the dinner is burning
and the washing machine has broken down and you only had three hours sleep last night,
remember YOU ARE NOT ALONE! Parents everywhere are doing a magnificent job:
remind yourself to respect the act of parenthood. Put this list in a prominent place.
1. Parenthood is a big job.
2. I am a good parent. I am doing my best.
3. Parenthood is vital- -the survival of the species depends on it.
4. Guilt is not an intrinsic part of parenthood. I don't have to feel guilty.
5. When guilt engulfs me, I can just step out of it. Guilt ruins family life.
6. I need to look after myself. I cannot give to others if I have nothing left to give.
7. There are no perfect parents; we all make mistakes. Its OK to make mistakes; this is
how we learn.
8. I am free to feel and to express all of my emotions.
9. Parenthood is a state of potential conflict; I can accept this and work with it. I am
flexible and creative.
10. My children do what I do and not what I say.
11. I forgive and thank my mother and father. They taught me what they know about
parenthood.
12. It is safe for my children to grow up. I can easily let them go.
13. I pass on my patterns of self-esteem to my children. I can create huge self-esteem.
14. I deserve a supportive and validating family life.
