...and then she opened a can of Whoop-ass!

Everyone is a teacher.

Jesse watched us in sheer delight like we were a clip on Americas Funniest Videos as I ran laps behind my kindergartener who ran around in circles until I caught him and put his snowsuit and boots on.

Time Standing Still

I told my son, “You did not teach a good lesson today.”

The next day his jaw dropped when he saw Jesse's mother run laps behind him in the vestibule. Okay, I admit it, it was hilarious...until she stopped…and opened a can of whoop-ass.

Jesse froze. His coat, boots and mittens went on in record time while he was harshly reprimanded, grounded and lost privileges for a week.   

The guilt on my son's face left no question: he knew he taught a bad lesson. 

Either we lead like the Little Engine who DID or we follow like a caboose on someone else's train. Those are our choices. We are all teachers.

As parents of adults, we don't chase our children around the cavernous vestibule in our mind. We stand in the energy frequency of faith and love where we hold the high watch knowing our best seeds bear fruit for our children. This is the meaning of prayer. It is done.

No one said it was easy to stop running laps around the vestibule--ask the Little Engine how difficult it is to master the demons in our mind and have faith when the terrain is rough--but we know it's possible to apply the principles of constructive thought and release it into the flow of the highest knowing it is done.

Rescue Dog's Miracle

Our pain management guru, Connie-pups, or perhaps the people around her, wove miracles with positive intentions and prayer bolded in her story below: 

Connie, an elderly dog with advanced osteo-arthritis, was surrendered by loving owners who could not offer medical care. 

HART Rescue’s mandate to improve dog's lives through fostering, behavior training and veterinary care aligned with my desire to foster to use my healing gifts to help dogs. Connie got healthier and stronger and I wished she had more psychological stimulation, like a companion dog or cat and a larger “sniffier” back yard. 

As we dreamed a big dream for Connie the Universe was making moves. When Connie came to HART a family who was fostering another dog wanted Connie, the timing wasn’t right, she needed to be with me … and then the magic happened ... their dog was adopted, I got injured, Connie had to go up for fostering, and 

                                                             BOOM! 

The stars aligned, the family that wanted Connie took her in, and, wait for it, here comes the miracle . . .  

Connie's new home has a dog, two cats, a doggy-door to a large “sniffier” backyard, AND she gets to go camping! It's doggy heaven!

Our highest intentions and prayers for Connie were answered. 

Connie. the unintended pain management guru’s journey demonstrates: 

• Energy medicine and prayers work: MIRACLES HAPPEN, but maybe not exactly the way we expect...it didn't heal her arthritis, it made the best of her life.
• Knowing what you want, acting in alignment with It and letting the Universe do Its part is a recipe for miracles.
• Connie sweetly and patiently surrendered to the Universe and the Universe surrendered to Connie. 

As bittersweet bon voyages go: the forecast is extreme happiness that Connie-Pups got the dream life we wanted for her, sprinkled a few tears...I miss my Connie-girl.

Pain Management Puzzle

The Pain Predicament

During a TV interview, two healthy-looking ladies who were suffering with pain said their pain management classes taught that it was best not to show pain {no moaning, groaning or holding body parts}, and not to talk about pain with others unless saying “no” without explanation would hurt someone’s feelings or kill the relationship.

Is this pup in pain? A group photo in a magazine's tagline was, “Which person in the group photo (of smiley-faced people) has chronic pain?” The next line said, “They all do”, including the pup in the photo. The pain management group photo and Connie-Pup's photo demonstrate that how we look may not be an accurate way to judge pain.

People who put a smile on their face and do their best in spite of pain upgrade their own mental health and give their best to the world, however, pain is a relentless beast that will take them down the minute they get home. Therein lies the conundrum: doing our best, when our best changes from one second to the next, and putting on a happy face may result in being misunderstood and misjudged; not putting on a happy face is social suicide in a world where “can’t” is judged as a sharp-edged “won’t”.

When pain management and people management collide: we don’t want to hurt your feelings, we don’t want to lose your friendship, we don’t want to talk about how much pain we’re really in cause we’ll have an emotional melt-down, it's just that when we say we can’t it’s not about you, it’s not a choice, we just can’t right now. 

Stray Dog Unlikely Pain Management Guru

Connie, a 12-year old stray dog with advanced osteo-arthritis turned out to be a pain management guru.

When Connie's whining, sleeplessness, and need for attention was deemed to be separation anxiety and her personality and personal choices were viewed as attention getting, Connie was actually waging a war with pain that was more intense than her very loving caregivers knew.  

When Connie's meds were increased her face softened, her hair laid flatter, she slept peacefully, she whined less and her exuberant, people-loving, hard-working personality surged forth: she walked faster, she pulled on the leash, she walked further until she hurt herself, and then, and only then, did she lay down and rest. 

When her pain meds were decreased her pain increased, her sleep was interrupted, she wandered around the house at night, she whined more, was capable of less...you get the drift.

There was no psychological overlay to her behaviour: Connie was unaware of medications or dosage. It was simple: the worse she felt the less she could do, the better she felt the more she did-- she did what she loved until it hurt and then she rested. This is animal nature, it is our nature: when we feel better we do better. 

For those of us managing extreme pain, including mental/emotional pain, consider Connie's situation and stop beating yourself up. Walk a mile in Connie's paws, she does her best every day, when she can do more she does more and sometimes she endures great pain and long recovery because she simply must satisfy her spirit's need to do what she loves. 

That is the nature of pain management. While Connie's first choice is to follow her spirit and do what she loves, people take care of business until it takes them down and they leave the rest, messy house, dirty dishes, lost connections. Connie's caregivers and our families and friends help us when they ride along with the ups and downs of the pain wave and they do with us when we can, do for us when we can't and don't punish us when we shouldn't have done it but we did it anyways.

Mass Murder / Suicide

How do I face New Year's Eve in a city where a single case of domestic violence resulted in the mass murder of nine people? This case of violence is but a reflection of what's going on in way too many hearts and homes, not only domestic violence, but loneliness, loss, addiction, and the gazillion ways we beat the shit out of ourselves  and each other every moment of every day. 

Please let this be the final cry for help, let it be humanity's final call to action. The New Year offers a clean page on which humanity can write a healthy conclusion where people take care of their own and each other's mental, emotional, shitty-life-situational, I-fucked-up,-please-forgive-me, I-can't-take-this-crap-anymore health. 

My heart is with the family and friends who have lost their loved ones. My heart is with all families and friends who have ever lost loved ones to murder or suicide. It's incredibly painful. My heart is with the emergency responders and bystanders who bear witness and pain. We are all in it together, and herein lies the  hope.

Where there is love there is hope, please feel free to contact me.

How to Overwrite Hopeless Thoughts with New Thoughts

 Researchers have discovered that 1) we choose the thoughts we think and 2) we can only think one thought at the time. In energy work, thoughts are healthy or unhealthy, successful people think successful thoughts. "I can do it." "I did it!" This gives the energy field a positive charge. Thinking "I can do more and better!"charges your energy field, it affects everyone's energy field and this creates a magnetic energy that attracts more positive people and experiences.

The reverse is true for negative thoughts. Habitual negative thought patterns and imagining negative scenarios are a  "natural" part of depression. Negative thoughts, tear a person's energy field down; they tear it apart, push away the positive and are very vulnerable to attracting more negative conditions and experiences...picture how obsessive thoughts affect the energy field.

Research has found that we can't simply stop thinking, however we can overwrite unhealthy thoughts with healthy thoughts. From an energy standpoint, it's incredibly important to choose thoughts wisely and to ensure habitual thoughts are positive and they support the conditions you want to create in your life. If thoughts create the conditions of our lives,as science of mind has demonstrated, imagine how important it is to choose your thoughts.

Louise Haye believes all problems stem from not loving ourselves. A few examples of life-giving thoughts that will positively charge your energy field are: "I love myself." "I am healthy." "I am successful." "I belong." Repeat, Repeat, repeat! Imagine how far you can go in your life and what sort of conditions and opportunities these positive thoughts will attract!

Nothing presented in my blog overrides the need for medical, psychological and psychiatric care, however, if you are interested in how energy treatment can compliment your current mental health program, please email..

Reiki'ing & Retraining an Abused Dog Update

It's been about 18 months since Meeko came to live with us.

Meeko, a 3 year-old abuse victim, had the opportunity to make life better for himself and he capitalized on it.

Although he was scared poopless because he was beaten in every other home, he opened his heart to the love and Reiki we offered him.

He traded good behaviour for treats, walks, and playing ball. His self-esteem soared with his success and the rewards of success. Regardless how long he needs to "hold it" he does.

At 4 1/2 years old Meeko's success demonstrates that if a doggie can seize an opportunity and turn his life around so can we. 

Your concern and well-wishes for Meeko over the past 18 months has made a difference, thank you!

May you be blessed with the wisdom to see and the ability seize opportunity now and always!

Vibration of URGH!

I was cranky yesterday.  I detest vibrating at the level of URGH! 

While I was living in a bubble of chaos, I felt hurt and offended. My untamed thoughts created a story about poor me, which created a brew of unpleasant emotions for me to experience. It coloured my perception,  the word "never"  popped into my vocabulary, my energy vibration tanked to a level of disappointment, which embarrassingly equals ingratitude, and I lived in a bubble of victim consciousness for a few hours...oh poor me!

When I was drowning in raw emotion and thrashing to grab onto thoughts that would rescue me from my self-defeating predicament, a friend's concern and my concern that my yikkie disposition was hurting my friend provided a lifeline that popped me out my mental mess part way through the day.

The vibration of love changed everything. It always does.

I learned a lot

Falling out of contact with gratitude for a few hours disconnected me from joy. Sounds elementary, and in theory it is--the experience of falling from joy into disappointment and coming back into gratitude and joy was profound.

Emotions, and the thoughts that create emotions, create a field of POTENTIAL. The vibration of URGH and disappointment result in words like "never and always". This energy vibration's low potential can only attract experiences to be disappointed about and ungrateful for.

Needless to say, the thoughts and emotions that result in vibrating at the level of love and joy creates a field of POTENTIAL that contains unlimited experiences of love and joy to be grateful for.

This unpleasant experience underlines the necessity of using gratitude as a spiritual tool to lift our vibration into the field of potential called JOY and LOVE. 

Imagine that! 

Energy Medicine, when applied to a person's energy field, automatically raises the person's energy vibration into the realm of higher quality experiences. That is the whole point of Energy Medicine. If I can help you with a bit of distance Energy Rx please contact me via email.

Million Dollar Insight

My dad called a steady, soaking rain at the beginning of June a "million-dollar rain" for the farmers in our region.

Every year the ever-trusting farmers muster up enough faith to plant their seeds into the dusty soil, somehow they know a soaking rain will  douse the seeds into fertility and life will spring forth under the blessing of a hot sun and blue skies. The prairie will burst into green before striking gold and a bountiful harvest will pour forth year after year.

We are like farmers. Our thoughts are the seeds we plant into the soil of our subconscious mind. We prepare the soil of our subconscious with forgiveness, love, affirmative prayer, Truth, and spiritual practice to our highest capacity within the collective consciousness. Like one wheat seed produces a multitude of wheat seeds, our thoughts burgeon forth, overflowing and producing forms, experiences and conditions bearing a likeness to the thoughts we planted, and we reap the good we sowed.

What my Dad referred as a "million dollar rain", seeding in desolate conditions, preparing the soil, having faith, and expecting a bountiful harvest, was a blueprint for how to incubate million dollar ideas. Thanks Dad!

On the day of my birth you were my gift.

Happy Birthday Dad.

Boston Bomb Victims

My heart is with the many people who were killed, injured and traumatized by the bomb blasts in Boston yesterday. 

From the sidelines all I can do is send a huge cloud of love and Reiki knowing those who are praying for help will tap into the stream of Reiki and utilize its healing potential in their personal healing journeys. 

As we know, Reiki can't magically replace life or regrow limbs. It will support healing by attracting the exact right people, information, resources and money together to provide the elements for healing and create the best case healing scenario.

As I send Reiki and Love, I hold the idea that we are One people, united in Spirit, therefore we are love and peace, and, however far some have fallen from grace, we embrace who and what we really are and it manifests now as one peaceful & blessed nation. Gratefully and graciously I release my prayer knowing it is so in the mind of  Creation.

Please contact me if I may send Distance Reiki to you personally.

From my Heart to yours Blessings,
Deah

Simple Truth

Reiki: Christ Consciousness



The Energy Rx: Reiki Treatment
Illustrator: The Magical Moish

My first Reiki attunement opened an avenue for the clear-cut connection to Christ Consciousness I was born with to work through. If not for Reiki I would not have known my hands could be tools for healing.

Reiki gives us permission to be the healers we were born to be. It unleashes the latent healer within.

As a Reiki teacher I've witnessed non-healers, even non believers, birth into healers as a direct result of the attunement process. The latent healer within suddenly emerged. Perfect, whole, complete and ready to Reiki.

When Elizabeth, a beautiful native women, came unleashed after her 1st Degree Reiki attunement, she did not follow the Reiki Treatment protocol I was teaching the rest of the class. She moved her hands and the client's energy hither & tither. Her body seemed to curl like smoke off an ancient flame. She went home to become a legendary healer in her northern community. The Reiki Attunement provided permissionl.

Reiki'ing Rescued Dog

My son rescued a beautiful purebred german shepherd dog a week ago. Smart. Well-mannered. Quiet. Fantastic with kids, adults and other pets.  But--is there a but?

Argh! Of course there's a but! His timidity is the result of a lifetime of abuse and neglect. But he poops and pees in the house.

And yet more buts! But there is a higher plan for Meeko. He is here for a reason. Although my son wasn't looking for a dog who needed so much care, people refer to him as a 'dog whisperer' who is willing to give his all to this wonderful dog. It's a good fit for both of them.

For my part, it's at times like these that I am so grateful to have Reiki. I will use Reiki to clear the negative energy and fill with positive energy knowing it will help this very special dog to get healthy. 

He's come a long way in seven days. I'll keep you posted.

Distance Reiki

In 1999, after I took my 2nd Degree Reiki training, I began Distance Reiki'ing friends and family daily. I also distance Reiki'd their friends and family and anyone else who asked.

In 2004 I got a website and began to offer Free Daily Distance Reiki to every one who visits my site. I Reiki 376 people from all over the world every day, they tell me it makes a difference in their lives.

I can Distance Reiki an infinite number of people, if you have landed on this blog message know that I have time, space, and I want to Reiki you...it's free, it's hassle free, just email.

What Breaks my Heart

I Reiki because I care. I offer free distance Reiki because I don't want people to suffer alone and I want to them to have every possible advantage to achieve better health.

In my blog I offered to Reiki people considering suicide, someone close to me didn't want Reiki and took their own life.

A friend who was hopelessly battling a bowel disease accepted Reiki, his life straighten out and in four months the surgeon found things "so healed in there" that he removed the bag, reattached the bowel, rebooted his system and he is doing great...yippie yahoo! Just as I was celebrating with that friend another friend flatly refused Reiki to support his minor-by-comparison-bowel surgery, blah blah, six months later he ended up in palliative care....heartbreaking for everyone around him!

Seriously, if you are reading this post it was written for you and this is the message: it can't hurt to add Reiki to your treatment, it may not change anything, but it might create an energy pathway for a miracle to happen, and, if nothing else, you won't be alone.
