“But the best way of knowing the meaning of life is by learning from one’s student. A teacher can only make us aware of our capabilities but finding the right path is up to the student.” ~Paulo Coelho

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“A Reiki master holds no lordly power over his or her students. A Reiki master is simply a person who has chosen to take the next step into mastership by accepting a greater level of responsibility for his or her life. He or she openly accepts the effects of causes which are self-created. By accepting this responsibility, the Reiki master is empowered to use specific processes to assist others in further empowering themselves.”  ~Paula Horan

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“The true teacher defends his pupils against his own personal influence.  He inspires self-distrust.  He guides their eyes from himself to the spirit that quickens him.  He will have no disciple.”  ~Amos Bronson Alcott

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“The teacher who is indeed wise does not bid you to enter the house of his wisdom but rather leads you to the threshold of your mind.”  ~Kahlil Gibran

“A teacher is one who makes himself progressively unnecessary.”  ~Thomas Carruthers

“The Master gives the student nothing he or she does not already have, nor does the Master take away anything that is not already present.” ~Phyllis Furumoto

Phil’s book is a collection of inspirational, uplifting, heartfelt stories from prominent people who openly share intimate moments that have been a turning point in their lives.

If you are someone who has been following my posts, you know how important synchronicities are… to me or to spiritual growth.

Here’s my personal, intimate story from today…

My brother (my only sibling) had heart surgery a couple days ago. To get his heart back into rhythm. The rhythm didn’t happen. Another procedure (cardioversion - ”the process by which an abnormally fast heart rate or cardiac arrhythmia is terminated by the delivery of a therapeutic dose of electrical current to the heart at a specific moment in the cardiac cycle.”) was performed yesterday, twice. Didn’t take. Another one was scheduled for Monday.

Not his first. He just turned 45. At 20, my very fit, athletic brother developed an aneurysm on his aorta, right next to the heart. This part is a long story… he got flown to Houston; his aorta was replaced along with a heart valve. This was way back before technology developed to what it is today…

So, his heart keeps falling into fibrillation. The heart races, without a regular pattern as well.

After driving up to New Hampshire this morning and visiting with my brother for a while, I learned the ‘normal’ heart beats somewhere in the 70 beats per minute range. Athletes and yogis more in the mid to upper 50′s. His monitor showed between 110 & 124. And the pattern on the monitor looked more like someone was playing with an “etch-a-sketch,” there was no pattern to visualize.

Sitting in the visitor chair across from the bed, I started Reiki. My brother closed his eyes and just relaxed. Within 2 minutes the numbers on the monitor started dropping rapidly. When it hit 68 beats per minute I told him to look. It kept dropping… he smiled. The rhythm changed into a perfect pattern. We went to a 52 BPM and he experienced the meditative state.

We visited for hours, his heart stayed in rhythm, for the first time in a very long time.

Sounds like he’s being released tomorrow. Doesn’t need another cardioversion on Monday.

He wants to become Reiki certified. To help himself.

Before I left tonight he wanted to drop his heart beat back down to the 50′s, maybe to show my parents? maybe just because? It held it at a steady 54 before I said goodnight and I drove back home.

So, this is 60 seconds times 2.

We are living in such difficult times now, to have faith and hope in all that is good… is all that matters. 

With love & light,
~Tania

And I offer my sincerest thanks to my Reiki friends who sent distance healing to my brother last night. And the wonderful doctors and nurses at the New England Heart Institute.

I saw a brand new box of 24 Crayola crayons. I could even smell the crayon scent. I also saw wide-ruled notebook paper, single sheets, not a notebook. The message that I received was as follows:

Take a couple deep breaths and relax. Choose a crayon that corresponds to the color which matches how you are feeling. Use your first instinct without any thought behind it. It is also important to use crayons instead of pencil crayons, (can’t explain this part but this was part of the message as well but I’m sure that it has to do with creative expression vs worrying about details). Now, start writing or drawing on the wide-ruled paper whatever flows. Again, don’t think about it, just let the process unfold. If you feel like changing colors part way through, go for it. If possible, this exercise should take place on a daily basis. Using individual sheets of paper rather than a notebook is because each paper is an individual expression and should be respected as such. You can date the pages or not but keep them in order in a three-ring binder. These pages do not have to be read again if you don’t want to, but it will be interesting for you to observe the color changes as you look back on each day. This is a process of creative release.

I would love to hear your thoughts and experiences with this technique.

Blessings,
~Tania

Here’s a piece of an email a friend sent to me this morning:

“I hope you have a Blessed day.
We must always remember the reason we celebrate Christmas.”

That statement went right to my heart. I did feel Blessed. And I truly felt the spirit of Christmas.

 And because synchronicities are reminders, this song played shortly after on the radio, with a totally different meaning for me.

Have I told you lately that I love you
Have I told you there’s no one above you
Fill my heart with gladness
Take away my sadness
Ease my troubles, that’s what you do

Oh the morning sun in all its glory
Greets the day with hope and comfort too
And you fill my life with laughter
You can make it better
Ease my troubles that’s what you do

There’s a love that’s divine
And its yours and its mine
Like the sun at the end of the day
We should give thanks and pray to the one

Have I told you lately that I love you
Have I told you there’s no one above you
Fill my heart with gladness
Take away my sadness
Ease my troubles, that’s what you do

There’s a love that’s divine
And its yours and its mine
And it shines like the sun
At the end of the day we will give thanks
And pray to the one

Have I told you lately that I love you
Have I told you there’s no one above you
Fill my heart with gladness
Take away my sadness
Ease my troubles, that’s what you do

Take away my sadness
Fill my life with gladness
Ease my troubles that’s what you do
Fill my life with gladness
Take away my sadness
Ease my troubles that’s what you do. ~Van Morrison

Blessings to All,
~Tania

“When the student is ready, the teacher will appear…”

I tend to look at life a little bit differently than the “norm.” I like it that way. I love who I’ve become. I’m a Reiki Master. I’ve always rebeled against the term “Master.” I’ve know for a very long time that I was a healer (physically or someone that was just a good listener). Never connected with Reiki; there are Masters & symbols… it has to passed on to the student… blah, blah. Sounds a little cult-ish or religious… Circumstances do happen and I became a Level II Reiki Practitioner. Hmm…  Then I read (sorry can’t find the reference) but… a Reiki Master is a person who has made the conscious decision to master their own life. How, cool! I went on to gain my mastership… I was ready. I went for Master. My students have been my greatest teachers…

 I teach by sharing. Listening to my students, sharing my experiences. Letting them voice their intentions to spirit. It’s a beautiful experience. I’m a catalyst tp my students to become empowered, just by listening. Compassion. Listening. Sharing. Understanding.

I’ve thought, ”Is it my ego that makes me feel this way?” I ‘know’ that it’s not supposed to be. And I know that I can honestly say, “NO”. It feels too right. I’m just a catalyst, facilitator. My students have gone on to be so much… I’m so proud of who they’ve become. They have more clients than I do, they’re working healing animals… am I jeolous? No way… I’ve learned so much from my students. And the students keep coming. So, I’m on my path… the flow keeps flowing. I’ve never experienced such connectedness and love.

Blessings to all the catalysts
~Tania
