Spiritual Connections

Have you ever felt a connection with someone and you are not completely sure why?

I’m talking on a deeper level here. Not just a surface “hey I like that person kind of deal. Maybe we can call it a spiritual connection.

Meeting My Wife RuthAnn

From the moment I met my wife, RuthAnn, I have been blessed to have this spiritual connection. I “sensed” her when we were apart. I often knew what she was going to say or do before it occurred and vice versa. It is the deepest connection I have ever had with any human being and it grows the longer we are together.

My Mentors

I’ve also had connections with my Mentors over the years. Barbara, my Native American mentor. Joe, my mindset and marketing mentor and Alice my Reiki Master/Teacher mentor. At times I “feel” their influence whether they are with me or not.

All of these are connections that I can explain. The have either loved me or taught me – or both. I understand the reason for my feelings of connectedness with them and i am thankful.

Unsure Connection

But I come back to my original question: have you ever felt a deep connection with someone and you are not sure why?

Freaky? Not really. Intuitive? Yep!

A few weeks ago I met Laurel Bleadon-Maffei (@angellaurel) on Twitter. Just a “follow/follow back” kind of situation.

As usual, I checked out her Bio and website. I was amazed at the beauty of her site: Illuminating Souls and immediately tweeted about it. The site and Laurel have been in my consciousness a lot lately as i am presently reading and learning about angels and Angel Therapy in my healing practice.

Beyond any of this – I have felt a spiritual connection with Laurel that I simply cannot explain.

Truth is:

Intuitively I know a simple truth: I have no need to explain the connection. It just is.

I am thankful.

Blessings to you Laurel - and to each of you.

Love and Light,

Frank

P.S. Do you have someone you feel a deep connection with? I’d like to hear about it in the comments!

Do You Feel It?

Do you feel it?

There is a “shift” happening.

For too long we have lived by the “just the facts ma’am” mentality. Granted knowledge gained through the scientific method has benefited each of us. I’d never deny that.

But have we benefited from the knowledge of the mind at a detriment to the knowledge of personal intuition? I think we have.

And there is a shift happening. You can feel it if you take the time to be sensitive to the flow of the world in which we live. Have you picked up a newspaper or magazine lately? The shift is even now being recognized by the scientific community.

Spirit – define it how you want – but spirit is leading the shift. I have felt the energy of this shift more during this Summer Solstice than at any other time recently.

Spirit directs intuition. Intuition is found within each of us. Some may be more sensitive or conscious of intuition, but it is available to all.

Truth: When your intuition is developed, it is a powerful force. It provides guidance, direction, knowledge and fulfillment. It does every bit of the work and provides many of the same benefits for our daily lives as found in the scientific inquiry.

Do you feel it?

Let’s talk about it,

Frank

I “Feel” Loved

Lately I have been experiencing something – a feeling – that I wanted to share.

I am blessed that I feel loved by many people in life. My wife RuthAnn, my children, grandchildren and friends. I feel their love. By that I mean that I don’t just know it, or hear it or rely on it, or sense it – I “feel” it on an internal level.

As I sit here writing, my Heart Chakra is ablaze with this inner feeling. It is a vibration. I sense a humming. Almost a tingle. It is a marvelous sensation.

Lately, I have felt that same feeling, sensation, vibration, humming on a “spiritual” level.

I “feel” the love of God, Spirit, The Universe, Jah, Yahweh - whatever you want to call the Higher Power greater than ourselves.

It is a sensation deep within me. It energizes me.

I “feel” loved.

Know what I mean?

Love to you,

Frank

Ain’t Reiki Beautiful?

I’ve found beauty in the energy of Reiki.

How’s that? Beauty in Reiki?

Imagine sitting on a rock in the middle of the winding Little Pigeon River – in the middle of The Great Smoky Mountain National Park in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. Hear the water drifting slowly by as you smell the gentle breeze of fresh air. Feel the slight chill of the morning dew. See the awesome wonders of this amazing place I call “Home.”

The picture you see above was taken on our recent vacation. I saw, heard and felt each of the things just described. After the picture was snapped, I sent out energy of gratitude and drank in energy of beauty.

That’s how I’ve found beauty in Reiki.

Happy Sunday and Father’s Day.

Peace,

Frank

Such A Privilege

In a recent post I wrote about the need for Energy Workers to be Family First Healers. I count one of the greatest privileges I have as a Reiki Master/Teacher as being a channel of healing for my family and friends. There is no greater joy than seeing the ones you love the most experience the healing power of Reiki energy.

Tonight I had an another honor and privilege. I attuned my wife RuthAnn to Kundalini Reiki Level One. She has been on this journey with me as a supporter, cheerleader and friend. Now, in the days to come, she will progress from being a Reiki student to being my partner and colleague.

Can this Reiki stuff get any better!

Like with healings sessions, everyone "feels" something different during an attunement. Remember, an attunement is passed from a Master to a student so that the student may then pass healing onto others. It also allows the student to self-heal.

As the Reiki energy and light opens the recipient, they may experience tingling, warmth, light, colors, visions or a combination of all these. There is really no set way to describe what you may feel or sense during an attunement. The beauty is found in the individuality.

RuthAnn journaled her experience afterward. I asked her if I could share part of it with you.

Here is part of what she felt or sensed during the attunement:

As I sat in the chair to receive my first attunement, my body was in a relaxed state. Frank placed his hands on my shoulders and within 2 minutes, vibrations were felt strongly in my left forearm. This went on for a few minutes. The vibrations then moved to my spine. Up & down, up & down for maybe 2 more minutes.

When the vibrations ceased, I could no longer feel Frank’s hands on my shoulders, I only felt heat radiating. It was not the heat of hands, it was something different, kinna indescribable to me, a brand new sensation.

Next were waves before my eyes, squiggly line waves. I was then in a state of peace. About halfway through ( I think, I lost track of timing at this point) I felt something coiling up my legs, holding my feet to the floor. It was a grip, not to tight, but tight enough to know I was unable to lift my feet. I tried, yet my toes were stuck to the floor. After a bit, the coiling went up my body, tying me to the chair. It was at this point that I realized it was a vine or a root that was encompassing my body. I did not fight the bondage, but rather let it take me over. I next began seeing flames from my third eye and flashes of color. I am not sure what the colors were, either a dark blue or a dark purple.

I did not feel fear, I somehow sensed that it was okay. I heard Frank leave my back to sit in the chair until my Attunement was completed by me. I am not sure how long it was, but slowly, the vines/roots recoiled from my body, all the way down, releasing my feet and disappearing into the carpet.

Next I felt a surge of energy run up my body from my feet upward to the top of my head.

After it hit the top of my head, I was back to the state of peace. I opened my eyes and turned to Frank, I was a bit wobbly.

I hope this gives you an idea of what a Kundalini Reiki Attunement is like. For me, it was simply an amazing experience to have the privilege and honor to share this wonderful, powerful and life changing energy with my wife. Thank you RuthAnn.

Peace, Love and Light,
Frank

Healing Tree Grounding Ceremony

It has been my experience that in the process of sending healing Reiki energy on a regular basis, one can become ungrounded.

How does “ungrounded” feel? I get a bit shaky, and listless. I’ve also felt thirsty, tired, irritable and unfocused. I can be sailing along with my work and all of a sudden it is like I just hit a wall. Time to ground.

The Healing Tree Grounding Ceremony is very simple, but very powerful. If your Third Eye Chakra is open, this ceremony will be very visual. I’ve often experienced beautiful light flowing through my body.

Technique Part One: Get outside. Find a peaceful place that you enjoy. I take off my shoes and stand barefoot (look for moss, it feels wonderful!). Relax and close your eyes. Imagine and visualize roots growing from your feet downward into the earth. Breathe deep and send them down farther and farther into the earth’s core.

Technique Part Two: As you inhale and exhale slowly, visualize energy coming up from the ground and into your body (For me, the energy is usually bright white). Draw the energy up through your body Chakras. Let it rise through your Heart Chakra and down your arms. Allow the flow to rise again to your Throat, Third Eye and out your Crown Chakra. Visualize the energy leaving your body and flowing into the heavens.

Technique Part Three: In this last part of the ceremony, you will visualize the beautiful energy (maybe it has changed colors now) returning from the heavens and into your body through your Crown Chakra. Let it quickly flow through your Throat, down your arms into your hands and back up to your Heart. Breathe deep and allow the energy to settle in your Heart, filling it with power and strength.

Smile (I always smile at this point), and enjoy. Your Healing Tree Energy Ceremony is complete.

And so are you.

Blessings,

Frank

P.S. Go outside right now and try this. Whether you are an energy healer in need of grounding or not, this amazingly powerful exercise will strengthen you.

Family First Healers

Image by Funky64 (www.lucarossato.com) via Flickr

Some days blogging comes easy for me. By that I mean that the topic of the day just "appears" rather than is planned.

Today is one of those days.

As I was thinking about my experience with Reiki and reflecting on a book that I have been reading by Marc Warnke entitled ONO, Options Not Obligations, I had a distinct realization:

As Healers, we must heal our families first.

Marc has coined the term Family First Entrepreneur and has said that, as entrepreneurs, we must design our life and work in a way that reflects our commitment to loving and caring for our families before anything else.

He states it simply, but powerfully: "I believe in loving the people in my life more than any other thing."

As Energy Workers, Spiritual Healers, Reiki Practitioners and the like we must create this same world. It is simply not right to constantly be focused on helping and healing others if we first do not start at home, with the people we proclaim to love the most.

I've been reminded. Thanks Marc.

Something to think about.

Peace, Love and Light,

Frank

A Beautiful Thing - Tachyon Energy Attunement

Image by ViaMoi via Flickr

Last evening I received a Tachyon Energy attunement. It was an absolutely beautiful experience. More on that in a moment.

Let's talk "attunement" for a moment. I had no idea what an attunement was when I started my journey with Reiki.
I like this definition of attunement: "a pro-active process of reawakening the body, mind, and feelings and aligning them with Source."(Attunement: Love Made Visible, Chris Jorgensen, 1996)

More direct - an attunement is the process that allows a person to not only receive Reiki energy, but to pass it on as well. Attunements are passed to the recipient by a Reiki Master.

Okay - now to my experience of receiving the Tachyon Energy Attunement from my Mentor Alice Langholt. Tachyon energy has been studied by some of the best scientific minds. It's attunement allows the receiver to charge objects such as stones, oil, water, and necklaces with Tachyon energy.

Here are my notes written immediately after the experience:
I am compelled to get this down before anything leaves me.

A very emotional experience.

Setting: in office, lights low, Loren's music playing, fan on, Frankincense incense burning, alone

First 5 minutes, I felt very little. I was in meditation pose with hands outstretched, palms facing upwards.

When I moved my hands into Reiki sending position - the light show started:

Image via Wikipedia

Alternating colors of the most beautiful dark blue and then a very intriguing purple.

They colors would start wide in my line of sight and grow smaller as they moved away from me. Diameter from 3 inches down to 1 inch.

The color show moved to center in my Third Eye Chakra. Again alternating between blue and purple. Again moving fro m larger to smaller as they moved away from me.

Not only was the "sight" of the colors beautiful, but the "experience" of them moved me to tears. I felt very loved - very accepted - completely happy.

I moved my hands back to meditative pose. The colors stopped for 1-2 minutes and then started again. Now they were not as deep and enthralling.

I "heard" in my subconscious intuition a voice, a knowing: "With these hands in Reiki pose, beautiful things will be done."

Very emotional experience.

The old saying is true here: Words do not adequately describe the experience. It's almost 24 hours later now and I still feel the emotion of the attunement.

Afterward I charged two river stones taken from the Little Pigeon River on our recent trip to Gatlinburg, Tennessee. I have felt their energy all day today. I have them at opposite corners of my desk and they are very powerful!

I truly love related my experiences with Reiki energy. I very much enjoy your comments here on the All About The Energy Blog. Keep um comin'!

Blessings,
Frank

Mr. Fancy Pants Invades Gatlinburg

In one of my recent blog posts I mentioned something about a "fancy pants" way of describing something related to Reiki life force energy. Ever since then, my wife has been calling me Mr. Fancy Pants. Now, since she is such a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother and all around good person, I'll ignore the remarks. I love you sweetmeat! :)

On Sunday we set off for my favorite place of God's green earth, Gatlinburg, Tennessee and a little cottage up in the mountains called Once Upon A Time. Can you say much needed getaway! It has been a wonderfully relaxing and rejuvenating time. I've poured a ton of time and energy into learning and practicing Kundalini Reiki, and it has been to get away and just enjoy this amazing healing art.

Three quick lessons I've learned this week:

1. We all need to recharge our batteries. The complexity of everyday life can be such a drain on our bodies, minds and spirits. It doesn't matter how much you love your work, your family, your life - we all need to sit back, breathe deep and relax.

2. No one is going to make you take time off. You do it, or it never gets done. You plan everything else - plan to relax and recharge.

3. Reiki works even better when you are not fatigued from stress and overwork. As I have allowed myself to settle in here, and to find an inner tranquility, I have seen the true power of Reiki healing energy. I "feel" it deeply, and experience it more fully.

Consider experiencing or learning Reiki - I'm here to help!

We'll be back in town later tomorrow.

Peace and Light,
Mr. Fancy Pants
