The Reiki Cafe 

For a couple of us, spirit has been knocking at our doors of late.
For myself about 6 weeks ago I had a visit to the ER and many tests. Then follow up doctor visits. Then more tests which came back normal. Then a skin lesion removed which came back negative. All great news. With each visit and test I began noticing how I was not nervous or worried as I would have been previously. I had such an air of calm and acceptance. My feeling was if indeed anything might be wrong then I would deal with it as it came. I realized I was living in the moment with no expectations of any outcome. I realized that my Reiki path has replaced virtually all negative reactions with positive ones. I don't even have to think about these things, they just are. I am blessed. I am grateful.

The other person who is hearing spirit knocking is my cousin. I attuned her to level II this past June.
For nearly a year now she has been dealing with recurrent infections due to a cat clawing her calf back in January. In recent months she has been hospitalized a few times for cellulitis and bodywide infection. This past Tuesday she was admitted again this time with blood clots in her lungs. She is in ICU. She nearly died. She had a gastric bypass schedueled for this October of which I felt strongly she would not survive. It seemed as this surgery date approached closer and closer more episodes were happening to her to push this back further and further.
When I again visited with her yesterday she was very open with her feelings of the past week and months. She is talking of life changing plans. She is talking of her gratitudes. She is understanding her future health risks especially about having this bypass surgery. She has declined now to go through with it. She said she layed hands on her lungs during the ER crisis. I am sure this helped her survive. I asked her if she felt Reiki had helped her on all levels. She said it did. I agreed this was true for me also. It is good to have most fears replaced by calm and acceptance. It is good to be able to live in the moment.
Tomorrow she will have an artery filter implanted in her body to catch any future clots. Hopefully this will be her last hurdle. She admits she has never been good at taking care of herself but this week has learned this lesson and now she must put herself first. This is what Reiki teaches us after all. Ourself first. I feel she finally got this lesson learned.

Hi Donna,

I have also experienced Spirit calling. This weekend has been incredible. I felt like I walked in heaven for a few hours. I have not gone through any major health crisis, or near death experiences, or anything that severe that normally trigger such strong messages. Rather it is an awareness from various events. Events that were too odd, yet oddly synchronistic. Events which on their own don't mean a lot, yet they tie in so beautifully I know there was a reason for it all.

I met someone on Saturday who was able to give me a message in such a way that it touched my soul. Then later the same day I met someone else, who walked with me a few yards. We chatted about inane things, the ducks, weather, sunshine, weddings, etc., but there was some unexplained meaning behind this walk which also touched my soul. I can't really explain how or why, I just know that when we parted company I wasn't the same person.

Today I 'chatted' with two robins, offering both Reiki. The first one graciously declined and flew away. The second graciously accepted and took a few steps towards me to show its trust. We Reiki'd for about 10-15 minutes then the session ended. I thanked him, and he thanked me.

The sun shining through the coloring leaves, the perfect temperature, the ambiance of life this weekend has been amazing. I don't know what turned, but something did. I am someone new. The connection I feel to everything is infinitely stronger today than it was yesterday. Spirit called, I awoke, and took another step forward on my path.

With light and love,

Hi Donna and Featherpoint ;o)

Isn't it beautiful when we just accept life as it comes? When we just be in the moment, when we notice all the finite details play out before our eyes. We can see God touch our soul. It's like seeing the force, the power, and the grace behind the wind.

I can't belive how much I have grown over the past few years. How I can see past challenges as my brightest blessings. How I trust that all is well and that there is a divine moment in every second of now. It's just tuning in that we need to do. It is true, everything we see and feel around us is a choice of mind. We can see the beauty in everything, or we can name it something other than it is.

Thanks for posting.

As stated in A Course in Miracles "Heaven is not a place nor a condition. It is merely an awareness of perfect oneness, and the knowledge that there is nothing else; nothing outside this oneness, and nothing else within."

Much Love,
