Oracle readings are sometimes requested by spirit, to ensure the message is received by the client.
Cleansing the Reiki room is necessary in between sessions and for personal spiritual hygiene. The Reiki room is intentionally centered around being place for us to share a sacred space.
This can be done with smudging (burning a bundle of herbs and using the smoke to clear the space), Reiki energy, clearing spray, incense, sound vibration, just to name a few. .
Thanks for browsing.
Happy September.
Welcome Fall.

October '21
Halloween, which gets its roots from the pagan festival of Samhain, falls on October 31st, when the veil between the world of the living and the world of the dead is believed to be the thinnest.
Samhain (pronounced "Sow-in") is all about celebrating the cycle of death and rebirth. In the northern hemisphere, the leaves are dying and nature is preparing for the still of winter. Just the same, in the southern hemisphere, the dormant buds are preparing to rebirth themselves and open to the start of summer.
Death and rebirth is an important cycle that is seen in nature constantly, and it’s also something that is mirrored within us. We are always going through our own process of shedding, releasing, and rebirthing ourselves as we travel along the journey of life.
This is a time to honor the “deaths” that we have all experienced throughout the year. It is a time to make peace with all the things we have needed to let go of and to celebrate the cycle of the new.
Samhain was celebrated from October 31st till November 1st, as it was believed on 1/11 spiritual activity was at its highest. This was due to the rising of the Pleiades, which would reach their highest point in the sky during this time of year in the Northern Hemisphere. The Pleiades are said to represent the cycles of death and rebirth, and this coincided with the cycle and rhythms of Mother Nature, too. The veil between the living and the dead is also said to be thinnest due to the Sun’s position in the deep and intuitive sign of Scorpio.
Scorpio energy is all about transformation and honoring the cycles of death and rebirth, but it also rules over the paranormal and our connection to other dimensions and portals.
Another reason that spiritual activity is so high on this night is due to the number code or vibration of the date 111, which we receive when the calendar turns to November 1st. 111 is an angel number of protection, divine intervention, and angelic support. It also indicates that our guardian angels and loved ones passed are nearby and are sending us a message. We can also look at the number code of 111 as three pillars, representing this world, the next world, and the state in between. When we unlock this number code, perhaps we too are able to travel with greater ease between these three states of being.
Even though a portal is unlocked at this time of year, what we now celebrate as Halloween, is really a celebration of Mother Nature and the ever-evolving energies that live around us and through us.
As you know, energy cannot be destroyed instead, it simply shifts from one form to another, and that is exactly what we are called to honor during this sacred time.
In pagan times, important rituals were conducted on Samhain to celebrate death, the gods, the spirits and to understand the connectedness of all beings and creatures in this Universe.
Halloween is not a night to be feared. It is a time to give just a little extra thought to the fact that we are spiritual beings that never die. Instead, we live on in different forms and in different ways. We continually recreate ourselves through the cycles of life.
Whatever “deaths” you have experienced this year, whether it be the death of ideas, loved ones, attitudes, relationships, dreams, and so on, Halloween is the perfect time to honor the shift and to honor the new energy that will now be welcomed into your life.
Halloween is also a great time to celebrate and remember loved ones who have crossed over. You can do this by lighting a candle, leaving out their favorite food, or simply saying a prayer or blessing.
October 31st-November 1st is also a powerful time for strengthening your intuition and connection to the Divine, eternal flame within.

The Full Buck Moon is simply the name for July's full moon. It was named by Algonquin tribes up North, as a tribute to the buck deer that generally tend to grow their new antlers at the start of summer, in July.
The moon will start rising July 23-24th at 8 p.m. EST, and will be fully risen at 10:37 p.m. EST.
You'll also be able to see Jupiter and Saturn, and they will appear to be "following" the moon westward. It's truly going to be a sight to see.
We are being motivated to release any old ways of thinking that cause us to dim our lights, let go of the fear of change and open up to how we impact the world as individuals, so we can all shine our lights in unison. Those born in late Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn might feel the moon deeper than other zodiac signs.
The Full Buck Moon represents actions and achievements. Your goals and intentions have been building and manifesting for months. Since the year is halfway over, the month of July gives you a sense of urgency to complete your goals now. You want to see your hard work pay off, so you might push yourself to accomplish more. However, if you do not also prioritize rest, you will grow weary and burn out. If this happens, it may take quite a while for your motivation to come back.
Make time for a little fun! Turn off technology and be present in this beautiful season of summer. Find activities that fill up your soul with happiness and pleasure. Float down a lazy river, sit on a porch with some homemade lemonade, take a nap, or read a new book cover to cover. Whatever it is, make sure it’s something you truly enjoy.
"Acknowledging the good that you already have in your life is the foundation for all abundance."

This begins an intense cycle of inner growth and brings to light issues of trust, control, and power. This Full Moon in Scorpio at 11:30pm EST challenges us to release the resistance to change. This energy will clearly show what we need to let go of in order to grow. Leo, Sagittarius, and Scorpio will be the most affected by this full moon.
Pink Moon Affirmation:
"I release, I let go of all that no longer serves me.
I feel my heaviness disappear. I feel lighter.
I am balanced. I am standing in my own power."

🖤 These black tourmaline are special because they contain quartz crystal, as well. They are known as Black Tourmilated Quartz. One of the most powerful conductors of energy, black tourmalinated quartz are excellent for absorbing and transmuting any negative energy in your body or environment. Great for empaths needing protection. ✨
🖤Black tourmalinated quartz is also a good addition to your home because it neutralizes toxicity in the environment, such as high levels of radiation and electromagnetic energy. ✨
✨Selenite is highly effective for clearing and cleansing your energy, as well as the energy of your environment and even your other crystals. Selenite is so effective because it has the ability to both remove lower vibrational energy and recharge whatever it is clearing with higher vibrations.✨
These crystal starter kits are great for those new to working with crystals & especially empaths. They make great gifts for family and friends. Available at Access Chiropractic & Wellness.
This Full Moon in Libra is a time of great healing and release, but stay balanced in the midst of these intense energies resurfacing.
What are Chakras?
As a Reiki Master, I work very closely with client’s chakras. What are Chakras? What happens when they are blocked? There are 7 main chakras in the body. The chakras are actually transformers of subtle energy. They take the Ki (life energy) that is always around us and transform it into the various frequencies our subtle energy system needs to keep us healthy. Each chakra corresponds with a layer of the aura. Negative feelings or thoughts can become lodged in the chakras reducing the amount of subtle energy they are able to provide and adversely affecting one’s health.
-Antiphon the Sophist, 5th century BC
The 7 Chakras
The Root Chakra
The root chakra is the first chakra located at the base of the spine. When this chakra is blocked you will notice feelings of being disconnected to oneself and a loss of sense of security. For a person who has imbalance in the first chakra, it might be hard to feel safe in the world and everything looks like a potential risk. The desire for security dominates and can translate into concerns over the job situation, physical safety, shelter, health. A blocked root chakra may turn into behaviors ruled mainly by fear. Physical signs of imbalance include chronic lower back pain and problems with the groin, hips, legs, knees, calves, ankles, and feet.
A balanced root chakra will make you feel grounded, centered, trusting, alive and poised. Crystals used during your reiki session are grounding & balancing crystals such as black tourmaline. Essential oils used to assist balancing the root chakra include frankincense, vetiver and palo santo.
The Sacral Chakra:
The 2nd chakra, the sacral chakra is located 1-2 inches below the navel. This chakra is where we connect to our sense of self-gratification and emotional security. In balance, we experience the healthy emotions of pleasure, gratification, intimacy, desire, and passion. These feelings nurture and nourish our sense of creativity, connection, growth, and change. When this chakra is blocked or imbalanced you will notice feelings of frustration, guilt, feeling afraid to interact, caring what people think too often, feeling lost and shy. Physical signs of this imbalance include: chronic lower back pain, hip issues, arthritis and stomach disorders.
By having a balanced sacral chakra you will feel dynamic, stimulated and full of ideas. Alignment in this chakra also gives you the confidence to make significant changes to the way you live your life. Crystals are used to assist the healing process during your reiki session- carnelian as an example. Essential oils used to treat the sacral chakra are: cardamom, clary sage, neroli, orange, patchouli, sandalwood.
The Solar Plexus:
The third chakra, the solar plexus is located 1-2 inches above the navel. The solar plexus is our power center, where we connect to our self-esteem and self-protection. When suppressed we feel powerless, but when expressed we experience our strength of purpose. When we feel scattered and direct our energies outward, it is usually a sign that we have given our power away. When this happens, sometimes one can feel discomfort, or a whirling sensation, in the solar plexus area.
When the solar plexus chakra is under-active, feelings of low self esteem and procrastination may arise. Physical imbalances may manifest as fatigue or indigestion. When reiki is performed and these blockages are lifted, it clears the way for us to take more targeted action in our lives. Crystals such as citrine and orange calcite are used during the reiki session to help align those energies. Essential oils that assist in balancing the solar plexus are: black pepper, cardamom, grapefruit and rosemary.
The Heart Chakra:
The 4th chakra, the heart chakra is located at the center of the chest. The heart chakra speaks to how we feel and express love. When it is imbalanced, we may feel lonely and disconnected from ourselves and others. As a healing center, the heart chakra enables you to let go of past experiences and forgive others. When you encounter feelings of hurt, you are able to feel them fully and then move on from them, opening up your heart to new experiences and relationships. If your heart chakra is overactive, it can lead to a lack of discernment in relationships, leaving you emotionally drained.
When the heart chakra is overwhelmed with energy, it can lead to you overexert yourself in your personal life, allowing your relationships to become toxic. You may feel ruled by your emotions and overly dependent on your relationships. Reiki can help make us more compassionate and open to accepting love from others. Aventurine and green moonstone are crystals that I use during reiki sessions to help unblock and align the heart chakra. Essential oils that help the healing process are: grapefruit, bergamot, lime and rose.
The Throat Chakra:
The 5th chakra, the throat chakra is located in the base of the throat. The throat chakra helps us to speak our truth. Physical manifestation of this chakra's imbalances can include thyroid problems, TMJ, or sore throat. Emotionally, someone with a blocked throat chakra may be afraid of silence or fearful of being judged and rejected. The throat chakra is a common blocked chakra that I find with clients. When reiki is performed to help clear this chakra, we become better able to express ourselves and give word to our dreams.
The throat chakra is the center of communication. It allows you to effectively communicate your ideas and thoughts but also have the tools to listen deeply to others around you. When your throat chakra is blocked or underactive, it can contribute to feelings of insecurity, timidity, and introversion. When the throat chakra becomes blocked, it often detaches you from your authentic and true self. When a chakra is overactive, it means that the chakra is distributing too much energy. It is working in overdrive and bringing imbalance to the chakra. If your throat chakra is overactive, you may be experiencing a lack of control over your speech, and talking too much or without a filter. When the throat chakra is overwhelmed with energy, it can lead you to become your own and others’ worst critic. Crystals used to help align the throat chakra are blue calcite, blue kyanite, and sodalite. Essential oils that help unblock the throat chakra are lavender, spearmint and blue tansy.
The Third Eye Chakra:
The 6th chakra, the third eye is located between the eyebrows. The third eye chakra helps us see that which is not physical. This is where our intuition lies, as well as our clairvoyance and psychic perception. When this chakra is imbalanced, we may find it difficult to trust our insights or intuition. Reiki can help unblock this chakra and allow us to home in on the power of our inner knowing. This chakra is responsible for the link between your mind and the outer world, embodying your ability to see both the inner and outer worlds. This allows you to experience clear thought and self-reflection.
Symptoms of a blocked third eye include: lack of concentration, not being able to see the “bigger picture”, being easily influenced, feeling confused about your life’s purpose, and doubting one-self. If your third eye chakra is overactive, you may be experiencing an overindulgence in your imagination and excessive daydreaming. When the third eye chakra is in overdrive, it can cause you to feel overwhelmed and mentally exhausted. You may experience indecisiveness and clouded judgment. The third eye chakra is highly influenced by the crystal amethyst. Essential oils used during the session to help awaken the third eye include: ylang ylang, clary sage, lavender and spruce.
The Crown Chakra:
The seventh chakra is called the Crown chakra. This chakra is located on the top of the head. It is associated with the colors violet or white. The Crown chakra represents our highest thought, pure consciousness, universal identity, Divine self-knowledge, and our connection to the greater world beyond. Imbalances in this chakra can be seen as a lack of spiritual awareness, lack of a higher purpose, and feeling ungrounded or spaced out. An individual with a well-balanced Crown chakra lives in the present moment, seeking truth, wisdom and clarity. This chakra connects all of the other chakras by honoring a higher power.
