Cords are etheric attachments to your aura that bind you or connect you with a person, object or situation. They create a sense of stress and strain in your being. They may also create obsession and obligation. If you are feeling drained or obligated in a certain situation or relationship, you probably have cords attached

Perhaps some you are trying to manifest some changes in your lives. Maybe some of you are still pondering what the new year has in store for you. In either case, I know that there are a great many people out there who have decided to manifest a meditation practice of sorts (thanks to my meditation app for providing that inspiring stat). In fact, this first week of January has shown a marked increase in meditators at any given time that I look. Why should you care? Call it meditation, call it sitting still, call it mindfulness. Heck, call it breathing. The research has spoken. Having some type of mindfulness based practice can significantly help manage and reduce stress, result in positive health changes, improve memory and concentration, and have an overall positive impact on your life. Some of the things I hear most often (most were also true for myself) are: “I don’t have the time to fit this in if I am going to get a workout in, practice yoga, eat well, and get all the other things done in my day”, “I’m too tired at the end of the day, I just want to go to bed”, “I don’t know where to start”, “I’ve tried, but my mind just wanders and I can’t stop my thoughts”, “I’m physically uncomfortable and/or agitated when I try to sit still”.
Take a few minutes to find stillness within. The best way to start with stillness is to sit for 1-2 minutes – just set your phone timer (I promise, it goes fast). Or, download the free Insight Timer – Meditation Timer app from iTunes. Now, take a deep breath in through your nose – visualize it filling your abdomen completely full, and then exhale very slowly through your nose. Let your exhales be as long (or longer) than your inhales. Just simply focus on your breath. Allow your thoughts to come and go, as if they are clouds passing in the sky. Don’t judge your thoughts, simply notice them and bring your focus back to your breath. Notice the subtle sensation of relaxation and calm in your body. Congratulations, you’ve just activated your parasympathetic nervous system and given your body a few minutes of amazing physical benefits, while balancing your mind and connecting with your spirit!

Moving Forward With True Intentions
I hope that your celebrations and festivities (be it Christmas, Hannukah, Kwanzaa, Life, Family, Friends) this past month have been life-giving, filling, and inspiring! As we wrap up the last week of the year, you may feel inclined to reflect on the past year. What major things happened in your life that transformed you (the good and the bad)? Did you manifest any of your intentions? Did you “put yourself out there” – for work or for play? Hopefully there is a lot to celebrate and be proud of. Maybe some things did not go as planned. That’s life, that’s impermanence. Everything is always changing, nothing EVER remains the same. We cannot control the outcome of most situations. We cannot depend on other people in our lives making us happy, and we can’t depend on them “changing” to make us happy. As Colette Baron-Reid recently said in one of her Universal Energy Forecasts, “sometimes you just have to surrender to life on life’s terms.” That said, reflect and move on. Surrender to what was, accept what is, and have faith in what may be.
Do you feel compelled to make New Year’s resolutions just because it’s sort of a “custom” that comes up on autopilot about this time each year or because it seems like everyone else is making them? While the New Year can bring a fresh wave of ideas, positive energy, inspiration and an opportunity to make changes, we forget that those opportunities are available to us all the time. And, a lot of us don’t really know what we want (because we often don’t take time to really reflect on that), so we come up with a resolution (or list) that doesn’t really have a meaning or connection to our true self or to the life we really want to manifest. If you’ve already thought about New Years and have some sort of expectation, consider whether your “wish list” reflects the life you want to manifest – your true self and your true purpose – or whether it reflects the desires or expectations of someone else’s life and expectations. Perhaps it reflects the expectations of your ego, rather than your heart?
Think about ditching any formal resolutions and consider scanning your heart instead. Maybe you take a few minutes this week to sit with yourself, connect with your breathing, go within, and ask
yourself what you really want. Set the timer on your phone for just 2-3 minutes, find a quiet comfortable spot and start taking big, deep breaths. Just notice your thoughts as they come and go. Allow your authenticity to come to the surface. Journaling is another great way to connect with yourself – just start writing thoughts and ideas and see where it takes you…

When we have been sending Reiki to someone and they die, it can be disheartening. My friend had cancer and I didn’t want her to die. I thought that as a Reiki Master Practitioner, I could facilitate her healing and prevent her death by sending her Reiki. Each time, I could sense her absorbing the

In my work as an energy healer and spiritual teacher, I often talk about the importance of chakras, which are focal points in your body that move energy in and out between your personal energy field and the larger unified field beyond. In order to maintain your physical, spiritual, and emotional health, it is essential to keep each of your seven chakras clear and open, spinning gently in the right direction.
