In times like these, we all need to help each other out. Having experienced the benefits of Reiki and Energy Work, I want more than ever for everyone to have access to it. To that end, all Divine Connection Energy Work sessions are now offered only by donation.
Donations are accepted only from clients who have had at least one session with me and have experienced for themselves the benefits of Divine Connection.
Clients receiving a session for the first time may give a donation at the end. You may give a donation, small or large according to your means and volition. You donate not with the idea of paying for what you have received, but to give someone else the same opportunity in the future. Returning clients may give a donation at any time.
Today I went to several stores to procure supplies for our vacation rental so I saw more people than usual.
On my way home I was listening to a favorite yogi’s podcast and he brought up “namaste” which is a greeting meaning: the divine in me honors the divine in you. It struck me just a little differently today.
I thought back on all the people I’d seen, and saw them as Divine:
The friendly woman in the drug store, she was God;
The woman in the home improvement store who had her mask down on her chin, she was God— did she catch me judging, she says with a wink;
The older cashier in the face shield who suggested where I might find an additional item, but told me to be sure to use my hand sanitizer in that store. She was God, keeping me safe;
The happy teen who wished me a nice day, she was God. It was so uplifting to witness her joviality;
The gentlemen in the giraffe-print mask who told me it was leftover fabric from his and his wife’s first bed skirt, he was a jolly God;
The woman working feverishly in the takeout restaurant, she was God. What was she doing?! Why does God do that? Is she meant to show an example of karma yoga, selfless service? I wondered;
The people in these cars going by me;
This person in the white pickup truck who is pulling out in front of me right now. This is an interesting one because I didn’t get so angry when it was God “cutting me off.” I imagined the driver smilingly at me and loving me and seeing if he caught me (not that time, and that is a tough one for me !)
What if everything we go through and everyone we meet is God playfully checking on us by providing opportunities. What if they’re all God, willing us to grow?
Can you stay centered when someone doesn’t follow the rules?
Can you stay centered when THIS button gets pushed?
How would we ever learn if we never had opportunities to try out responses? You can guess how you might respond by watching others, but until you’re in the situation, you don’t know how you will really react.
Can I remember that I, too, am God? That’s a good one. I feel much differently about myself when I re-member that, more accepting of me and whatever situation I had been regretting, more in-the-moment, more OKAY with the moment.
Namaste, I pondered living it for 15 minutes. Kinda liked it. Maybe tomorrow I’ll go for 20.
It can happen with your resistance
Or
With your allowance. You choose.
Each moment
You choose
Resist
Or allow.
Either way life will happen.
Life is the point. It’s not about the human construct achievement.
There is too much focus on this. It is wasted.
Life is.
It happens through you.
With your acceptance
Or not.
Life is.

Those of us who have been blessed to bathe in the essence of the abundant, beautiful, Hemlock trees, can sense their power. Even if we are not consciously aware of it, there’s something amazing about a hemlock forest that makes you want to return again and again. They renew and refresh us, ground and connect us. The presence of the Hemlock trees is a gift with which the earth has been graced. It is simply irreplacable.
Intention: To send healing and protection to the beautiful Hemlock population
Date: Saturday, August 12th
Background: The Hemlock Wooly Adelgid (HWA) is an invasive species that has been known to cause widespread Hemlock mortality in areas it has inhabited. First found near Richmond in the 1950s, it had avoided the Adirondack Park until this July. It has already effected much of the east coast of the US including the Catskills and Hudson Valley. Loss of these trees could have a devastating effect on the ecosystem. The Hemlocks provide protection for both local and migrating species of animals, prevent soil erosion, and contribute to water quality.
Please help with this intention in whatever method you are comfortable including reiki, prayer, meditation, journeys.
I’mvery excitedto be beginning the journey to bring forth this website for you. It comes from my heart with the sincere desire to assist those who seek.
My plans for this site include :
Business information for my work as a Reiki Master and Shamanic Practitioner
Peace To All Things, a place for practitioners of all types to work on joint projects
Complementary Healing Reference, a blog to present my experiences with a variety of alternative healing modalities intended to help others determine which may be the next step on their own journeys
It will be fun to see where else it leads. Let me know what you’d like it to include!
