Healing: Life

Life has been amazing since the last time I wrote.  The hubby came home for the weekend (which is always exciting since he's away for school the rest of the week), I got my Reiki 1 attunement, and I am finding myself so at peace.

It's amazing when everything starts coming together.  My massage table came in on the day I went to get my Reiki 1 attunement so I could start practicing right away.  I got some great tips and pointers from Amber, my master teacher on how to help people and make this my own.  My hubby has been super supportive which just tops everything off.  It's amazing to be completely happy.  I don't think many people are but right now I honestly cannot complain about anything.

In other news I am looking for people to practice on.  So if you are interested in a free session let me know.  It takes about an hour and I use both aromatherapy and reiki together to give you the ultimate experience.  I am hoping by the end of next month I can get my next attunement and then really focus on getting Ki Wellness up and running.  I am going to look through some more SBA stuff this week and figure out what's what.  Why do they have to make it so confusing?

Anyways, that is all I really have to report today.  I haven't done much else.  I better pick up the house though because right now it's a disaster!  Happy Sunday!

Sick and Thinking

I have a head cold.  My husband can tell you I am not taking being sick well at all.  I haven't been sick in at least over a year since I started eating more raw.  Luckily, I had most of yesterday and all of today off from work.  Though I had planned on getting a bunch of things done today right now I am sitting on the couch writing this blog post.  There are times you just have to listen to your body and mine is saying I need a break.  I am listening to it even though my mind is telling me all the things I could be getting done.

I believe this all came around to give me time to really reflect on my life and where it is heading.  I've done a lot of thinking/planning/wishing lately.  I've been doing a lot of thinking of what I really want to do in life.  Jen and I had a wonderful talk last night when I saw her for a massage.  Right now I have a job, one I happen to be really good at and enjoy but not necessarily something I want to do for the rest of my life.  What do I really want to do?  I want a Reiki practice that incorporates aromatherapy to provide  powerful wellness management for those seeking it.  To do this I am getting my Reiki attunements, well at least the 1st one now and hopefully the 2nd one in the near future with the 3rd not too far off in the future.  I am trying to take all of Jen's aromatherapy classes with the hope that soon I'll be able to become a Young Living distributor.

If you follow this blog you know that I am a big proponent of essential oils and healthy living.  I want to be able to teach others who are interested how to follow this way of life.  I am so excited that I am actually getting started with all of this.  This is something more than a passing fancy, this is something I feel called to do.  My ultimate goal is to eventually open a practice.  I need to learn up though in how to start a business (right now all I really have is a hobby with Soapy Joes) and how to manage all of that.  I would love to offer sessions on Friday afternoons and maybe all day Saturdays and if it gets bigger, how exciting that would be.  I cannot wait for it all to come into place and I think it will.

Juice Feast: Day 6 & 7

Well I have officially been going at this for a week.  I have had some interesting things happen these past few days.  My eyes have been hurting and I have been tired.  Today I did forgo the juice feast and have something else.  My body said to do it so I did.  I think I just needed it.  I did consume only liquids up until that point.  The juice feast isn't over it just had a minor hiccup.  I think the hardest thing these past two days was having enough time to make enough liquids for the day.  For example: Today I didn't really have any time so I ended up having to grab something at the local health food store today for lunch.  I will share a recipe today.  The quart on the left of the picture was my breakfast on day 6.  It kept me full for most of the day.  Here's what's in it:
1 banana
1 cup Almond Milk (any other milk would be fine)
1 scoop Raw Protein Powder
3 tbsp Raw Almond Butter
1 tbsp Cinnamon
Blend all together until smooth.  It's awesome!


In other news on March 24th I am going to get my Reiki 1 attunement.  This will allow me to finally help others and myself with energy work.  If you don't know what Reiki is here's a simple explanation:


Reiki is a non-invasive, natural energy-based approach to healing. It supports your own healing processes by affecting the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual levels. Widely known as an ancient method of healing and relaxation, Reiki has been successful when used to treat pain, stress, anxiety, insomnia, PMS and more. It can be used with anyone—children, the elderly, pregnant women and the very sick as there are no ill side-effects. Reiki is gentle and effective.


I am beyond excited.  I feel called to do this type of work.  I would love to eventually tie this in with aromatherapy to help others help their bodies be able to heal themselves and have a practice.  If you have never had a Reiki treatment you are really missing out.  It is an amazing experience.  Eventually I would like to get my Reiki 2 and 3 attunements.  But one step at a time.
