Ghost

Ghost,

Are they real? Many of us are told as a child that ghost are not real. Social conditioning teaches many of us that are in tune with the otherside to turn off our abilities as children and be "normal".

With the popularity of reality shows today and the ghost shows that are out there I figured why not do a blog on ghost. After all it is close to Halloween.

The world of communicating with the other side started up again for me after the birth of my second son and my training in Reiki started. It was Christmas time, which I soon learned is a 12 day event that the veil between the worlds thin out and it's easier for spirits to cross over to visit the living. It was during these 12 days I started to feel watched. Then I started hearing a favorite song of a friend of mine who had died that year. I made an appointment with my Reiki Master to see if my friend would show up so she could talk to him and figure out why he was around. Very personal story so I will just say yes he did show up and he wanted me to know he was ok and I could stop worrying about him.

A few years later after a few more experiences, I started to go out to rumored haunted places to see what I'd pick up. I've included pictures of the Bloody Bride Bridge in Stevens Point, WI located on Hwy 66. Walking down the path at this small park I felt like my friend and I were being watched. When I sat at the bench I asked him to start taking pictures as I began to channel Reiki energy and then it happend I could feel someone sitting next to me. The feeling is more of a pins and needles felling in my hands, or sometimes its just a knowing that someone is there. If you look closely in the photo there is a woman sitting just to my right. You will see the outline of a person and it looks like she has a cape over her shoulders.

So I bet you're wondering what it's like to talk to ghost. Ok well it's different then talking with people. Have you ever watched Ghost Whisperer? It's kinda like that but for me I hear them in my head yet the information always comes from the right side. So If you watch you can tell when I'm getting information becasue I'll tilt to the right to listen but the words spoken are in my mind. When I'm with clients most of them like to hear something so I'll talk my half of the converstation out loud and then tell them what I am being told. Ghost are people so just like people, everyone is different in how they present themselves. Some will send a quick visual. When I read for a group of women, they all wanted to contact a grandma that had recently passed to see how she was. The grandma came to me and flashed me a picture of her hands all knotted at the knuckles. I told the group she is showing me her hands and she had big knuckles like she had joint problems. She says her hands do not hurt anymore and they are pretty again like mine. Meaning young looking. Then she flashed me a my big mug that I make hot choc in. And I heard tea. when the women wanted to know about the grandfather. I also was shown a lake and fishing boat. I told the group what I saw and they started to laugh at me because the grandfather loved to fish and his "tea" was a big mug of tea spiked with alcohol.

Most ghost I run into just want someone to know they are there. I often give them the option of crossing over into the light, when I communicate with them so they can move on. Some choose to go and some don't. I've never had anything as of yet get thrown at me. I've walked into some places where the energy is very negative and I've just walked right back out. Why put yourself into a bad situation.

My favorite ghost are those that start talking while I'm on a tour of any kind. My first experience with this was at the Pabst Mansion in Milwaulkee. Mrs. Pabst told me to correct the tour guide. Ok so first rule is to pass on what spirit says, but when one is in a group of 30 people, maybe wait til the end of the tour and do so privately.

I also rented space for a short time at a spa in St. Paul. One night another Reiki master and I were working together on a client. The room we were in was at the bottom of the stairs to the 3rd floor. As we were sending Reiki to our client the door to the upstairs flung open and crashed into the wall. Now the spa was rumored to have 3 ghost. I yelled up the stairs, Hey trying to work here, if you do that again I'll ask the angels to help you leave. It wasn't funny you scared us all and we are trying to help this woman heal some issues. I went back to our tiny room, asked the guides to guard the door and we began to relax into the energy again. Not more than 5 minutes later the door flew open again and crashed into the wall making us all jump. I'd had it with this wise guy. I yelled up do it again and I won't ask the angels to help, I'll ask them to cross you over and you won't be here anymore. It stopped.

We have a cabin in Hayward, not far from Capone's Hideout. Infact I could walk there. My mom and I toured the year before it closed. As we walked up the driveway I could see the outline of a man in a suit with a gun in the lookout tower. As we continued through two men followed me up the driveway taunting me. Both wore suits and hats and carried tommy guns. They kept calling me Johnny's girl and wanted to know what Johnny's girl was doing there. I put up some white light around mom and I and we went about our tour. We got some good pictures around the place but we were not able to take pictures inside.

I am leavign on retreat for AZ and will post pictures from there when I get back. I am going to visit the vortexes in Sedona.

If you have questions please ask. I enjoy writing this blog so that I can help others to find themselves and maybe study what I know. I'm here to help you, so please ask questions.

On that note,

Have a wonderful week and I hope to have photos for you next week. October 22 I will be on the Ghost and Graves tour through the Wabasha Street Caves in St. Paul.

October 29th I will be in Eau Claire at the Best Western for a holistic conference. I believe it's 5 dollars at the door. I will also be on a tour of Mounds Theater in St. Paul that evening. I hope to have pictures from that posted as well.

Blessings,

Reiki Weekend.

Hi All,

Well this weekend I learned I like being an intuitive healer more then doing readings. Why? While I enjoy readings don't get me wrong, but there is nothing like being with a person and working in their energy field to read for them and get their energy clear and flowing.

This weekend I had two Reiki clients. For me I enjoy the in-person sessions because I feel the energy of the client stronger then via phone or email. I'm always amazed by what I learn from every session. Sometimes I am able to give information for medical issues, sometimes a crossed over loved one pops in to give a messege and sometimes it's just getting people to clear their stuck energy and the yuck out.

The points I want to get across to everyone is there is no wrong way to do Reiki. Symbols are great, but I don't always use them I just think or chant the symbol's engery I want to use. I use gem stones, tuning forks, bells, and singing bowls in my sessions and sometimes I just go old school and just use Reiki. Listening to your instincts or guides while doing a session with someone is important. The number one rule I learned and the first thing I had to over come is when spirit talks it's your job to speak the messege. Now you may not be comfortable with always speaking the messege but it's your job.

So I think this might be the last Reiki blog for a bit. I could use some questions as to which direction you guys want me to go with this. I'm thinking over the next few weeks touching on Ghosts since we're getting closer to Halloween.

Blessings All,

Wendy

Vicky,
That's awesome.  I am working on an information flyer to start spreading the word at my next event.
Have students join the group on yahoo groups Nemeton Reiki or from the link on my website.  We can get some sharing going and maybe a healing circle. 
Blessings,
Wendy

Reiki Intro

Hi All and Welcome.

Today I think I'll blog about Reiki and we'll go from there. If you have ideas for subjects you'd like me to address, post and let us know.

So here is a short introduction to Reiki.

Reiki is pronounced Ray-Key. Reiki simply means Universal Life Force Energy. Broken down Rei means universal. Ki means the life force energy or the energy that surrounds and flows through us all. Anyone can tap into this energy because it is our birth right.

Reiki was rediscovered in the late 1800 by Dr. Mikao Usui. There is a long story about the the discovery of Reiki and the "miracles" that happened during Dr. Usui's quest.

Reiki can be broken down into atleast 3 attunements and levels of practice. Level l is an introduction to Reiki history and the how to. This level has one symbol the student is given in the attunment and is a physical healing level. After being attuned to level one, the student learns that he/she can channel Reiki just by putting his/her hands on a person. animal, or plant to let the healing energy flow.

Level ll Reiki allows the student to become attuned to the distance symbol to assist in sending Reiki over distance and time. The second symbol in this attunement is an emotional symbol. After taking level ll a student can become a practitioner and take on clients.

Level lll Reiki is for those who want to teach. The master level will attune the student to the master symbols and the student will learn to attune their own students.

Now you're all waondering what is an attunment. Well it's pretty simple. A Reiki Master will give and attumento a studen to put the Reiki symbols into the student's aura. In the attunement the Master will also aline the charkas. After recieving an attunment it isn't uncommon for the student to start having psychic experiences if they were once open to psychic experiences at some point in their life. For me after my first attunment all the things I could do during childhood began to come back. This isn't always true though. Some may not have any kind of experience.

Two of my favorite Reiki books are Empowerment through Reiki by Paula Horan and the Magick of Reiki by Christopher Penczak.

The most important thing to remember is there is no right or wrong with Reiki. Reiki can never do harm and only works for the client's highest good.

Intuitive Reiki Master

Hi All,
I'm am including this new blog on my webpage.  My hope is once or twice a week to post about Reiki and my new Reiki system Nemeton Reiki.  I am also looking into a group for Nemeton Reiki.  By years end I'd like to get a healing circle going on here.  Please post topics related to Energy Healing, Intuitive work or expriences,  and of course Reiki.  I'll use these topics to get this started.
Thank you and Blessings,
Wendy
