Status Quo

Patricia's Blog

When life is going along in its usual pace, we can easily experience complacency.  How often do your days and weeks become mundane?  Frequently we as humans go through the motions of life – taking everything and everyone for granted.  Inasmuch as I know better, I too suffer from this malignant state periodically. We all do.

For the majority of us our bodies work in perfect harmony – we breathe without having to think about it; our eyes blink automatically; our hearts beat and pump blood throughout our bodies; our organs perform their functions; we walk without having to think about that next step; we intend to speak and listen and expect to be able to do so.  Normal functions our bodies do effortlessly takes insurmountable effort for many people afflicted with diseases, illnesses, etc. 

Even temporary afflictions provide an opportunity to stop and be grateful.  It is so easy to be the victim in any given situation.  Why me? What did I do to deserve this? I have several clients and friends who are suffering serious afflictions that came on suddenly, without much warning. 

Be grateful for the days that appear ordinary and not much is going on. Revel in it! Rejoice and celebrate because in the blink of an eye, your life can change forever.

Love. Hug. Sing. Listen to birds and wind and rain. Feel it all. 

With a grateful heart,
Patricia

Spring Time

Patricia's Blog

Spring is a time of renewal. Flowers and trees budding. The days are longer. People getting outside more often.

Of course we live in Paradise living in Florida. As my husband Dominic says, “not everybody can do it.”  We are spending Easter holiday in the Bahamas. There is so much beauty surrounding us. It is so easy to get caught up in the busy-ness of our days. Taking time to smell the roses sometimes need to be an appointment in your calendar. In my youth, I never understood about smelling the roses. Now I do.

Atrocities occur. Things happen that we cannot fathom or understand. We cannot begin to understand God’s Plan for us or for the entire universe. I continue learning that the best thing I can do is to surrender, accept, and have faith and trust in God and God’s Plan for me and for us.

We all experience some sort of death/rebirth. The death can be a job, a divorce or the ending of a long-term relationship, a loved one’s passing, or dreams unfulfilled. The rebirth is that we can begin to view things with new eyes and create new beginnings. All of life goes through death/rebirth. It sometimes takes great effort to begin anew however if one is willing to look for the blessings and the Grace, new patterns can be created.

Make the choice to begin anew. Your life will be greatly blessed. 

Love and Blessings,
Patricia

HOLY FIRE REIKI!

What is all the buzz about Holy Fire Reiki?

When Usui Sensei was given the gift of Reiki on Kurama-yama, no one touched him – the energy was given by Grace. As Usui Sensei initiated (attuned) others into Reiki, he did not touch them. He sat in seiza, recited Meiji poetry and the student received the Great Reiki energy (coming directly from God or Creator). The founder of Reiki initiated over 2,000 people into Reiki during the four year period of time he lived before passing over.

Usui Sensei intended for Usui Reiki to evolve. He encouraged Hayashi Sensei to create and make changes to the Usui Reiki system, which Hayashi did. And we know Takata Sensei also make significant changes to the Reiki system.

With Holy Fire Reiki, there are no attunements, one receives an “ignition” which ignites the Holy Fire Reiki into the person with no touching. As much as we intend that Reiki be pure when we give Reiki to others and also when initiating others into this magnificent divine love, our filters can come through.

Are you looking to upgrade your connection with Usui Reiki? How about an upgrade in your relationship with Creator/God? Well, Holy Fire Reiki does both! People are reporting a significant increase in their Reiki hands and the Reiki energy. Additionally, there is significant clarity in receiving guidance from God/Source.

Usui Reiki heals the soul. Holy Fire Reiki heals the spirit that heals the soul.

Longing and Acceptance

Patricia's Blog

Within each person is an innate desire to belong and to be accepted (whether we admit it to ourselves or not). Living in a physical world, we tend to think that satisfying this desire occurs through other humans or animals. I believe this is where we err in our thinking. Many movies and love songs are examples of how we erroneously think we are longing for love from another. (It is a give-me attitude.)

We come into this world alone and we leave alone. The love we share with ourselves and others are gifts or pearls and we may feel accepted and loved, yet there can still be an inner longing or absence experienced.

I believe the innate longing for love and acceptance stems from our wanting to connect with Source / Creator / All That Is / God. As we remember to reconnect with Source / Creator and heal our soul wounds, feelings of separation diminishes. Feelings of separation and loneliness arise from a disconnection with our Creator.

Daily rituals are important, especially spiritual ones. One of my rituals is to give thanks to Creator throughout my day for blessings in my life and to ask for guidance. Prayerful intention is important. 

The spiritual world has many beings of light that we may connect with. We all seek Light. The Light we seek is Creator. Why go winding around the mountain when you have a direct path to the summit – to Creator? Rather than going through angels, archangels, spirit guides, ascended masters, star beings and illumined beings; go directly to Creator.

Just as there are impostors in our physical world, the same applies in the spiritual realms. Choose wisely who you go to for counsel, as there are malefic beings in the spiritual world as well as in our physical world.

When feeling isolated, sad, worried, any fear-based emotions, and longing for love, ask Creator for guidance and support. Forgive yourself and others. Be willing to change your mind.

Thank you, Creator, for guiding and healing me.
With Love and Gratitude,
Patricia

We have emotions; we are not our emotions

Patricia's Blog

This morning the sun is shining brightly and it is a glorious Florida day.  Outside with my beloved feline friend, he enjoys being next to the sun crystal.

I began thinking about how his time here on earth is becoming short as he is frail and thin.  Tears flowed and I began sobbing. I could feel pain in my heart and in that moment I was reminded that while I have feelings of sadness and sorrow, they are emotions and not who I am.  I felt the tears and sadness wash over me and leave.  This past weekend I taught Reiki I and II and during class we discussed emotions and feelings. 

Feelings and emotions are important and they are what separate us as divine humans from most all other sentient beings on earth and beyond.  So often, rather than noticing that we are experiencing feelings of sadness, worry, anger, self-criticism, we become those emotions and state that!  How many times have you heard someone or yourself say: I am angry; I am sad; I am hurt.  As most of you are aware, I AM are two of the most powerful words one can utter. When we say I am this or that, we are stating to the universe that is who we are. 

In that moment of sobbing, I was reminded once again that I have moments of feeling sadness, worry, etc. and yet they are not who I am.  Feelings and emotions are beneficial. They remind us that we are alive; we have a body. The detriment is when we err and think we are those emotions.  Allow the emotion and let it go. This is precisely what occurred this morning. I can feel the difference. It takes commitment and practice to catch oneself in the midst of emotions and remembering they are part of being human. A great book to read is The Untethered Soul by Michael Singer. We read this book as a book club and it is a simple and yet profound way to allow emotions and experience them as a feeling rather than owning the emotion and becoming it or them. I sell the book at the shop and everyone who reads it praises it. It is an excellent book to gift yourself or another for the holiday season.

May we remember that emotions are a gift. Revel in the fact we get to experience emotions! 

With gratitude,
Patricia

Thoughts are things…

Patricia's Blog

Lately I have heard people speak about concerns over what may be pending here on Earth.  Did you see the operative word “may”?  With the worldwide web one can find so many viewpoints about what may be occurring here now or in the near future. 

Regardless of what one may feel or hear, what matters is where you are placing your energy.  When we are in the present moment, nothing else exists. The may be would be could be does not exist. We have no control over what others think, say, or do.  We do however have control over our own thoughts and emotions. 

This is a great opportunity to focus on knowns or Truths.  Focus on what is known as Truth.  

“We as a society tend to externalize everything when in reality, everything we seek is inside of us like the most precious of jewels – waiting for us to go within and experience its magnificence. To find the jewel in the lotus – you go to the scary places and discover it was not so scary after all. And as you willingly experience the scary places, you create space for newness. Create miracles you will. For you are truly miraculous!”
