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.
Reiki for Energy
I was first introduced to Reiki two years ago by close friends. My husband was fighting
LOU GEHRIG'S DISEASE and we were exploring a variety of healing modalities in
particular because there is no cure or treatment for the illness and it is degenerative and
terminal in nature. Our friends gave my husband Reiki treatments and he experienced
overall relaxation from his muscle contractions and an increase in ENERGY as a result.
As a full-time caregiver for my husband the last three years, I experienced considerable
fatigue and learned the importance of taking care of oneself. I explored Reiki healing
treatments and completed First Degree training and I have recognized many therapeutic
benefits from self-treatments and treatments received by other Reiki Practitioners. In
particular, I have experienced LESS ACHES and PAINS from a BACK INJURY which has
been troublesome over the last few years. Also, I have an increase in ENERGY with more
MENTAL CLARITY, BETTER CONCENTRATION and LESS PHYSICAL STRESS

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:
What is Vibrational Medicine and does Reiki fit into that category?
ANSWER:
Reiki is considered a vibrational modality. I came across a well defined explanation of
vibrational medicine that I would like to share. As you read the explanation, you will
recognize that much of what is stated is what occurs when we engage in Reiki.
SOURCE: Author: Maria Pologeorgis: Vibrational Medicine Practitioner
"Vibrational Medicine is an energy healing modality. It uses frequencies of light and sound
to align and harmonize your being. The use of energies in this way is an ancient form of
healing used by many civilizations throughout history.
Vibrational Medicine is a living technology that interfaces with entry points of congealed
energy in the bodymind. It addresses your root causes, rather than symptoms, by healing
at the cellular level. The effects are cumulative, and the healing expands into the subtle
(mental, emotional and spiritual) and physical bodies of your energetic system.
Vibrational Medicine is an effective catharsis of energetic blockages (such as entities, lost
souls, soul fragments and dysfunctional energetic imprinting) successfully neutralizing
trauma, addictions, anxiety and panic, freeing you to experience confidence, peace and
relaxation in your body. After catharsis, you may reclaim your resurrected self and begin
to embody your luminous state of consciousness.
We are bio-chemical and electromagnetic. The frequency of our body is a manifestation
of our thoughts, words, emotions along with the foods and beverages we ingest, the
environment we live in and the experiences we draw in.
Vibrational Medicine sessions assist us to raise our resonant frequency. Sessions are
profound and life enhancing.
As our physical experience is evolving from the form known as Homo sapiens, to the new
form, Homo spiritus, we are activating our Divine Spark, increasing our level of
consciousness and fully embodying our authentic self."

7. Working with Others:
The Seven Principles of Huna: Ancient Hawaiian Healing Wisdom
Source: Rawket Science September 2008
In ancient times the pre-warrior Hawaiian tribes lived according to fundamental laws and
moral rule. The principles that were these laws are as follows:
1. IKE: We Make Our Reality.
The World is What We Think It is. All knowledge Is Not Taught in the Same School. Be
Aware.
Here the individual accepts responsibility for his/her life. The wonderful challenge that is
the gift of co-creation is embraced and thoughts, words and actions are the tools with
which we sculpt our experience from the magical substance of Life. Thoughts, words and
actions have a vibratory impact upon the sensitive ethers of the space that surrounds us
and permeates everything. Thoughts, words and actions leave a residual affect that we
experience as our feelings. It is our feeling experience with which we are constantly
engaged that constantly magnetizes our reality. How do you feel now? How do you usually
feel? This feeling experience defines your reality.
2. MAKIA: Energy Flows Where Attention Goes. Be Focused.
A fundamental quality of a true master is the ability to control ones thoughts and to direct
those thoughts to the highest and purest considerations. Thought forms and accumulates
with other thoughts forms of a similar vibratory nature. Be mindful of what you think, what
you create, what you tune into and attract. Be aware.
3. MANA: All My Power Comes From Within. Be Confident.
Let The Singer Select The Song.
The most potent natural resource is the Eternal Ocean of Divine Light and Love which
laps against the shores of the soul. The simple challenge of life is: will I go to the shore
and commune in the Holy Instant with the Infinite Power within me. Everything we are
looking for in life is born in this holy relationship, in this Holy Communion with the Greater
part of I. It is accessed in stillness, it is accessed in love. Through this sacred relationship
the wonderful being I am may emerge to express itself wholly upon the playing fields of
manifest creation. According to your faith so shall it be.
4. MANAWA: Now is The Moment of Power. Be Here.
Strike While The Iron is Hot.
Enjoy the holy instant in the power of now. Strike the metal when it is hot. Be fully, deeply
present. Access through the feeling experience the power of now. The door to eternity
swings open in the here and now. Gather your scattered spirit, focus, commit and in the
depth of your intuitive knowing accept all you truly are.
5. KALA: All Change Is Possible. There Are No Limits.
The only thing that limits the wonder of life flowing into our world are the fear mechanisms
we cling to. Let go of the rocks. Cease your clinging, trust in The Great Ocean of Life and
open your heart to the infinite possibilities of existence. The time is now and the need is
great. Say Yes to Kala.
6. PONO: Harmony/Effectiveness is a measure of Truth.
An Expert is Recognized by the Altar he builds.
Are you in tune with Life’s song of peace filled magical love? Are you living your destiny,
your Life purpose, your mission? Is there disharmony in your life, if so why?
Harmony is a measure of Truth. Truth is a living presence in Life. To the degree we are in
harmony with Truth is the experience of magic in our lives.
7. ALOHA: To Love Is To Share The Happiness of The Breath of Life, with.
Joy is In The Voice of Love.
The call of the times is to unify and share. Aloha is the spirit of giving. The most important
thing is to give the spirit of love. By bathing in the Ocean of Love, we become that which
we eternally are. By maintaining a conscious contact with that ocean, through the Holy
Breath, we can bring it into our world and share it with each other. Aloha is the spirit of
togetherness in Love.
Wa hou makou, ka mana hila la. E ia I ka lani, Papa he ‘e nalu la He ‘e maluna
We emanated from Supreme Grace from the powerful ocean that descended from the
sun. We came from heaven. Distributed in waves we surfed here from the sun, In flight
from above.

9. Tips & Tidbits:
60 Ways to Heal Your Life… From Lynda Field’s book
Each month one of Lynda’s suggestion is included:
Suggestion 40: Search for the Hero Inside Yourself
Who do you most admire? Who are you own personal heroes and heroines? These
people might be media celebrities, sports personalities or your friend up the road who is
so good at keeping positive in spite of all her problems. Make a list of your heroes and
write exactly why you admire them.
EXERCISE: MY HEROES AND WHY I ADMIRE THEM
1. ____________________________________________________________
2. ____________________________________________________________
3. ____________________________________________________________
Now take one of your heroes and visualize him/her doing or being whatever it is that you
most admire. Close your eyes and imagine walking right up to this person and stepping
into their shoes. Imagine having the gifts and qualities that this person has. Let yourself
"be" this person for a few moment before you come back to yourself.
Look carefully at the qualities that you most admire in your list of people. And now think
about yourself. At some level you already have these qualities. If you can recognize
certain strengths in others then you must also be aware of the capacity for these in
yourself (otherwise you would never have recognized them). You may never be a football
star but you can always improve your game and become super fit. You may never be a
chat show host but you can always improve your ability to talk effectively to others.
We humans are so much more than we think we are. However ordinary you imagine your
life to be, you have in fact been given magical gifts. We take these gifts for granted, our
abilities to share, to communicate, to understand: to care, to sympathize, to love, to
transform, to create, to achieve.
Search for the hero inside yourself who is able to use these gifts to create a full and
incredible life.
Next Month: Suggestion 41: Respect Parenthood

Fitness Workout - Exercising the Present Moment!
By Michaela Scherr Source
Try one, more than one, or all of the following exercises to access the present moment.
As you do the exercises below retain your focus for at least three minutes. The longer you
stay focused the longer you’ll be in the present moment.
If you start thinking about dinner; what’s on television; the shopping etc, then you are no
longer in the present but the future or possibly the past. If this happens refocus on your
breathing to again be aware of the present moment.
Sit and be still, as in do nothing except become aware of the rise and fall of your chest as
you breathe in and out, listening to the sound of your breath.
To become fully present try focusing on what is happening inside yourself. Do you have
hunger pains? Are you cold/hot? Move your tongue around inside your mouth and feel
your teeth.
Hear the sounds of people, traffic, music and anything else that is around you at this
present moment.
Become aware of the color's around you, the color's of your clothing, the furniture, the
seat you’re in, the color's surrounding the windows and doors within your line of sight.
Start to feel the texture of the materials you come in contact with. Right now feel the
texture of the clothing you’re wearing, is it soft, rough, cool, warm, fluffy? Do you notice
the weave of the shirt, trousers or skirt you’re wearing?
Put your hands together and start massaging your palms. Do you notice the lines in your
palms, does your skin feel dry, smooth or rough. Now massage the tops of your hands.
Do you notice any differences?
Concentrate only on what you are doing right now. Nothing else exists while you are
concentrating on the task at hand. When you do this you are in the present moment,
tomorrow and yesterday no longer exist there is only you and this moment.
When you have conversations with others, be there with them. Listen attentively; match
their tone, speed, volume and pitch and also their breathing rate.
Face yourself in a mirror. Practice smiling at yourself, poke out your tongue, notice
whether your shoulders rise and fall as you breathe, inspect the color of your eyes, are
your shoulders straight or lopsided? Be totally present with yourself.
If you still have some problems accessing the here and the now, becoming aware of Self
and practicing Mindfulness is taught on the Meditation and Clarity and Balance Program I
& II.
