Universal Vitality Center

I do recall I have brought reiki home. I do need to elaberate, so one can understand the power in reiki and why I believe in it so much. I see things very differently now, and perhaps I always did. I am convinced I did not find reiki, rather, it found me.

I will elaberate. My home is owned outright. I am very fortunate not to have a mortgage as most fear in today's economic crisis. I state this because owning your home has a very different feel. You can truly do anything to it. When you cast aside "dollar and resale value" and truly make your home yours, remodeling is bound to occur..this is very metaphorical of life. 

Right now the place I grew up in is still a little catepillar. I am fortunate to have a fiance that is the most creative and knowledgable carpenter I know. The great thing about my fiance though, is not only was he in the roofing and contracting trades since he was a boy, he also has a way of scaring hobgoblins away...inevitably he can make just about any electronic item work, (he has a special reiki relationship with electrical things), but if it isn't invented yet...he'll invent it. My point in elaberating on my fiance is that together we make a wonderful remodeling team...most of the time.  Sometimes the catepillar gets tired of eating so much and sits a bit before truding along to the next leaf...

Everything in life is reflective of us..Our environements are a direct result of our mental states..right now, my house is undergoing great change, and amid this change is complete and utter kaos.

The bathroom is half primed, half mudded, and then...poof their was a leak in the roof.. the kitchen needed a wall, yes so what.. we made our living room a bedroom and put up a big wall dividing the new bedroom and the kitchen..that wall is mudded.. the kitchen still needs a good prime and paint.. oh but my fiance had to build a new pantry of course and we needed a new refrigerator.. see my point? I am not finished, I decided amid all this noise that I absolutely HATE paneling.. A morbid grey paneling would never do in the hallway..so now the paneling is down and low and behold it is now two colors, and there are holes from my moms early days learning about her new electric wheelchair.

When my house becomes a butterfly..my bathroom will be lime green and have lillypads and froggies.. a kid friendly wonderful place to bath splash and play. The kitchen will be lavender, with white trim and grapes will be a common theme tying together an odd green countertop, that somehow should stay with the lavender walls.  My kids playroom will be colorful and functional, organized and fun. My hallway will be a pathway of bright open beauty.. maybe a lotus or two to accent..who knows! I write this down to make it real.. because I need to work at the butterfly, and remind myself often that things do indeed change, and it is okay.

Reiki has indeed made its way home.. we have started to remodel again, a new leaf is being turned over and we are ready to chew away.  I have ordered some items for our garden..and today I raked up the yard and gave it reiki so the grass and perennials will escape their underground tombs safely up into the spring and summer sun!  

I got the shock of my life the other day as my journey with the dojo has ended. We are no longer able to use the space we once had for the center. They are turning the space into an office. It is just as well. Perhaps the universe is telling me to bring reiki home. Perhaps I need to take a step back, gain some confidence, read up on business, volunteer, and not rush into a dream head over feet.. There is always so much to learn. I, of course, will still be offering sessions, but I will have to travel. Perhaps this has given me more flexibility. 

For now the Universal Vitality Center will have to serve as a virtual center. Perhaps people can just come here for a moment to meditate, look up information and simply be. I have heard of sending reiki over the internet..I must discover more.

The day after I picked up my reiki equiptment from the dojo, my son had an appointment to learn reiki. Though I was going for my Masters and could eventually train him myself. I felt my Reiki Master, Dianne Gelinas would be a better fitfor him. They got along great! She is wonderful with children.

I felt as though Seth could utilize reiki to focus, be less angry, and to help keep him calm when he is overexcited. He does see the world the same way we do, and as a result he often asks a lot of questions that need to be answered. His reiki training was a direct recult of his own curiosity and doing, as he kept asking what I was doing as I did self treatments and eventually started to do treatments on him.

That night, reiki cam up again when my mother had to call a nurse in to assist her. Strangely enough before the nurse left my little canine friend came to get me. (She really does this.) She walked into my room, let out a tiny bark for attention and then started to walk out of the room. I didn't follow immediately so she came back in and repeated her actions. I followed her to my moms room and she barked at the nurse. Consequently my mother introduced us as the nurse was speaking about how she too did reiki.  We had the most wonderful conversations. She is a Reiki Master, and has studied reiki, among other things for many years.

You see, reiki has come back to my home. I think it was missing.  I think I left it at the dojo.. I placed all my certificates and my insurance information, my insense, my special hutch, all my "reiki things" were in that dojo..seperate from me.  I created a reiki sanctuary, and walk away from it.  You can never walk away from reiki..It is always within me, but I think I seperated myself from it spiritually, trying to keep it a business, or another income. I suppose it is time to bring it home again..

I loaded some of my things into my house..my house yes, my house...oh my house.  It needs some reiki. Yes, I have finally brought reiki home.

"There I was, in the dark, hangingby the threads of my existence in a cold dark shell, unaware of mysurroundings. When I finally broke out into the world, I was small incomparison and blinded by the scenery, I stumbled across the vasthorizons driven by a strange hunger.

One day I began to realize that I was full, and that I could no longer digest all that I had taken in. I began to slow down, and I searched for a place to rest. I found a woman who had a sanctuary.

It was then I found the perfect branch of an old tree, and I spun a thread, and I fell asleep in her garden, in the warmth of her tiny womb, I would be born again.

Right before the winter broke, I awoke from my slumber, more aware, less frightened, but my wings were still wet and I needed to be still, just for one more moment, so I could appreciate my own beauty. My own life cycle. Then when my wings were ready I soared. I soared across the garden watching others like me. It was then I realized that I was carrying someone else. Another butterfly who was curled in my very center. I searched then for a place to lay her tiny head, for another sanctuary where she could be safe."

This is a true story of my personal story with reiki. As you continue to utilize reiki whether through your own hands or through another's, you too will begin to change. Reiki is a powerful force, and an incredible source for healing through relaxation and self awareness. 

I created this website, because I want to share my reiki experiences with you, and I want to show you the strength in human touch. We are forgetting what it is like to be loved, so much so that when a stranger expresses and act of kindness and love we question its motive  or its truth. I want to share a single moment with you, and show you the incredible power you have in your life.  You must treat yourself to a moment that is souly yours.  Few people understand that they truly deserve even a single moment to themselves, and as a new mom I understand that balancing life is a difficult task. 

I am also currently looking for new clients as I continue work on my masters. I will be keeping an anonymous journal of personal and professional experiences as I work with others. I will never under any circumstance violate anyones privacy while I journal. Love and Light.
