Usui in Context: The Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923

By Janet Dagley Dagley, Editor

As we all send healing energy as well as financial help to the suffering people of Haiti in the wake of this week's devastating 7.0 earthquake, we are reminded of the story of another earthquake, in another time and another place, in which the founder of Reiki and his students did their best to help the desperate victims.

From the Mikao Usui memorial stone (translated by Hyakuten Inamoto):

"In September of (19… Continue

How a Spirit Changed The Mind of a Skeptic – Confirmation Along My Spiritual Journey

I have written about my journey to this point: from being a complete skeptic to opening two companies with the sole purpose of identifying and promoting ethical spiritual advisors and healers. I have talked about my animal friends and how they have affected my life and my spiritual journey. I make it my business to personally interview potential members of my directory, so I have had the opportunity to m… Continue

Due to its history, Halloween has had a close relationship with the metaphysical. It has its roots in an ancient Celtic festival, Samhain, meaning Summer’s End. The festival was all about the death of summer and the beginning of the Celtic New Year. The world of living and the world of the dead were believed to have merged on this night. The spirits of the dead supposedly returned to the earth and this made it easier for Celtic priests to predict the future. Many of our current Halloween customs… Continue

How A Spirit Changed the Mind of a Skeptic – Facilitators of My Spiritual Journey

If you have read any of my previous posts, you realize that I am an avid animal lover. I have been drawn to animals from a very young age. My mother tells stories of me, just shortly after I took my first steps, venturing toward all types of animals. My life has been blessed with a variety of furry and feathery beings. As soon as I was of age to get a part time job, I began working at the local veterinary h… Continue

SYNCHRONICITY


O, the stillness in the movements of the winds
And the deep silence of the roaring existence
Elemental dance of synchronicity
Flowing through veins

Spirit and manifestation
Abiding in purity and unity
While boundaries dissolve
And sky and earth are one

Inexpressible transparency
Matrix melted and evaporated
Transformed and expressed
In new dimensions

What is there to fear?
What is there to cling to?

The inner work must be done.

How A Spirit Changed the Mind of a Skeptic – The Journey Continues

Just as I began to wrap my head around humans being able to communicate with spirit and to “know” things, I was hit with the hardest blow of my life. I mentioned in my former post that I moved from my spirit-inhabited home to be closer to my family. The reason for this was that my mother became very, very ill. After being frightenely sick for months, she underwent exploratory surgery and was diagnosed with an extremely ra… Continue

NOTE: When you read this blog, you may wonder what is has to do with healing or Reiki. Wonder no more, just stay tuned. I plan to post more blogs and the whole thing will tie together. The story is just too long for one blog....

Being a very analytical and left brained person, I have always lived my life having to have proof of things. It has been very difficult for me to wrap my mind around such things as ghosts, spirits, psychic ability, or the ability to heal by touch. I had seen people get… Continue
