PERSONAL HEALING COURSES

PERSONAL HEALING & 
personal growth 
COURSE

• Chakra work
• Stones & crystals
• Herbs
• reiki

I am going to continue to offer this course several times a year. Myself & my students are finding this course very powerful in terms of healing, clearing & moving on.

This course is more than what it seems in terms of healing on a deep level. You will be working in a very focused way on clearing & balancing one chakra at a time. You will be coming to class once a month.

You will be receiving a reiki attunement and a session each month. You will have received journal work for the upcoming chakra to work on during the month before the next class, so you will be doing the clearing before we actually do the class ! Doing the journal work in this way gives you time to work on focusing on one particular chakra for a whole month & let things come up for you as they may.

‘Clearing’ with reiki comes in many guises. Remember that suddenly not being able to come to class for any reason should be looked at more deeply. Is this a chakra that you really need to be focusing on? Are you anxious about issues with this chakra, are you resistant even on a subconscious level to letting go of energies tangled in & around this chakra? And all of this is fine, we all clear, heal & grow as we are ready & in ways that we are ready to use.

Very briefly:

Physical clearing can involve imbalance returning to weak spots: headaches, colds & flu, aching joints

Emotional clearing can involve letting go of old habits & behaviours that no longer serve us, releasing old & stuck patterns, & traumas

Remember to understand that when you clear, you make room for higher light vibrations. You are letting go of lower densities of vibrations.

As you become more comfortable with clearing which allows us to learn & grow, you can see through these guises for what they are. You can let go, receive more reiki healing & move on.

As you move on you bring in higher vibrations which reflects in your life as

• ·      Ease in manifesting what you desire
• ·      Ability to offer healing & serve others this way
• ·      Feeling whole & balanced physically, emotionally & spiritually

While all of this is an ongoing process, initially clearing usually is quite powerful, and any further clearing does not carry the same impact. We often let go in layers.

During the class we discuss the aspects of the chakra homework that we are comfortable talking about. We use the journal writing you have done to discuss as a group ways to move on, it also sets intention for the healing to be done during your reiki session.

I think it is the combination of using personal journal work, healing stones, herbal tea, and vibrational essences along with the reiki attunement & a reiki session that makes this course so powerful.

When working in groups we multiply the amount of energy in the room and the amount of healing that can be done. It is way more powerful to work as a group with a common purpose for bringing healing & balance to the body as a whole, and specifically to the chakra we are working on.  It is really special to be able to get together with like minded people once a month to share ideas & healing & energy.

Energetically we are in a very powerful time where we can choose to align ourselves with the ever increasing energies coming to this planet & heal ourselves & fill ourselves with high vibrational energies. I am finding that I am rewriting courses that seemed to be so new & up to date just a few months ago, but as the vibrations change so must the classes!

I have totally rewritten & changed this course as of this month, it will now be 10 classes, the first one being reiki level 1. If you already have your reiki 1 or more than that, you can begin with the 2nd class.

We will have 1 class for each of the major chakras, so that is 7 more classes. The other classes are intro to the chakras, with an overall look at the energetic body as a whole, determining the size, spin & shape of each chakra. And the last class ties it all together & looks at the upper chakras, beyond the crown.

Fall Equinox 2011

Some of what I teach my reiki students involves letting flow in your life. Both letting go of what no longer serves you & allow new flow of what you wish to manifest in your life to come in.

The beginning of fall reminds us of the flow of the seasons.

Our weather changed into fall quite suddenly this year, or maybe I am just feeling it more. This is my first fall at 100% raw and my body felt the change very suddenly.

I had just gotten on a roll with my eating patterns in the summer and had found a nice with flow with that. I feeling balanced & my vibrational levels were fantastic (which refers partly to my ability to channel reiki). Suddenly the weather changed & my body rebelled. Many thanks to Ashli for helping me with my raw diet.

I was reminded that my diet also needs flow, and in this case, maybe a big change. I have switched to drinking warmed water in the morning. I like to drink about a liter of water in the morning to rehydrate & cleanse, and warm water agrees with me more now that the mornings are cooler. I have always had a container of water on the counter, so all my drinking water is room temperature, but I am feeling this fall that slightly warmer water keeps my body temperature up in the mornings.

In addition to that I am adding warming spices to EVERYTHING: shakes, my herbal tea, fruit & veggie juices, salads ... anything I eat.  Cayenne is great, and thinly sliced ginger, paprika has suddenly been calling my attention, and I made a blend of warming spices with garam masala, cinnamon, ginger, and cardamom.

If I am cold in the late afternoon I have a plate of ‘pasta’. Which is spirilized zucchini, with salt, pepper, bragg, and tiny bit of olive oil. This warms me up & fills me. So easy to make & so good.

I am also making some great low fat raw pate’s. I had no luck making stuff like that my first year of transitioning to raw..... they tasted terrible. My dogs were very happy with this, because I dehydrated them into dog cookies!

Waiting for the gross pate , I mean the super tasty dog buscuit

A reminder to all my herb students to do your harvesting in your yard on sunny days when the plants are dry. We just had a ton of rain; everything is wet & can’t be harvested right now. You need to get it all before a frost hits. Mint, and lemon balm, and comfrey, yellow dock seeds for our tea, evening primrose. Hawthorne berries look ready too.

I am preparing for my 2012 Herbalist Course, so I am making sure to harvest enough of a few herbs that we’ll need for our winter classes. This year’s herbalist course is winding down & I look forward to meeting a new group for next year’s class. I am rewriting the whole thing for next year. Since it will be the 4^th year I am offering it, it is time to go over the whole thing & make some changes. I will be incorporating more of the local herbs, and more things my students have asked for: soap making, vibrational essences, etc. The herb classes are a lot of fun, we all get to know each other while picking plants, and cooking up various remedies in the kitchen, scrubbing dirt off roots, getting scratched by sharp leaves, enjoying seeing the plants in all seasons & how they change, getting connected to the plants & reconnecting to the earth in the process. And learning to make herbalism our own, each person will use the plants differently.

MAKING CALENDULA SALVE FIRST DAY OF HERBAL CLASS

Tasting the herbs is a part of our class, so that you can remember them easier. So lots of fun making faces over the bitter herbs, and the mandatory one person in the group who loves the taste.

We’re all different, so our needs for the plants are all different. A main focus of my classes to teach you how to make herbalism your own, teach you the guidelines & how to make the remedies and then you can learn what works for you & you those you choose to share the remedies with.

Fall is also a time when the evenings are longer & darker. Time to return to our spiritual & reiki practices. At this time of year the moons begin to rule our emotions a little more. The moon is up in the sky longer. Remember to look at what each new & full moon is bringing to our lives to clear & manifest:  


full moon: http://www.throughnightsfire.com/fullmoon.html

new moon: http://www.throughnightsfire.com/newmoon.html


has good info on what each moon is bringing energetically.

I am going to hold a series of classes for my reiki students on energetic hygiene in November. We’ll begin with a cord cutting ceremony on Thanksgiving weekend, on the Friday night. Time to clear energetically!

If you are a reiki student of mind & would like to take part please let me know. If you would like to become a reiki student my next Level 1 class is 
Oct. 1.

RAW FOOD RECIPE BOOK $10

I just finished making a raw food recipe book. I know a lot of you would like to incorporate some raw recipes into your diet or want some new raw food recipes, so I put all of my recipes on the computer & will print them up on recipe cards. I bought paper & it wasn't cardstock. oops. But it is yellow & it all looks nice.

Printed, or through paypal as a .pdf, either choice is $10

I have these available printed for those of you who come for classes at my house

or you can purchase a pdf through paypal on the toolbar at the right.

It has over 30 recipes, some instructions on raw food eating, appliances you might want to get, transitioning from a standard diet to raw. I have included cookies, raw pie, crackers, pate, curry, other main dish recipes, how to make your foods a little more warm & filling too.

As it says on the cards: · I am assuming you have a good handle on cooking creatively & don’t rely on lots of measurements & detailed instructions for this book, I don’t give a lot of measurements, just the basic ideas for you to play with

I found my first year of making raw foods really difficult, it was hard to learn a new way to create food that tasted good. So this is most of the recipes I have used over the last 2 years.

Cost is $10 for a set of 46 cards, the pdf is 23 pages

Just a reminder, my daughter is teaching a raw food 101 course here at my house on Sept 10. Cost is $75,

KOMBUCHA:
for all my herbal students who also make kombucha, you don't need to use green tea. I use herbs in mine: pau d'arco, dandelion, lots of ginger root tastes great, whatever herbs you'd be wanting to make into an infusion for yourself


TEACHER FROM VANCOUVER GIVING SOME CLASSES AT MY HOUSE:
we're in the process of lining up some dates for another teacher to come in & offer some different workshops, I am REALLY excited to attend these myself. We're going to work out the details in the next few days & then I will send an email to my students.


The classes will be in Sept or Oct, on a Fri/Sat and will include:

• raw food level 1
• reiki massage level 1 : combining reiki & simple massage
• chakra massage   !!
