Excuses Begone!

noreply@blogger.com (JoAnne Robinson) — Mon, 03 Aug 2009 12:15:00 +0000

Sundays, for me, are all about relaxing, catching up on reading or TV shows I've recorded during the week, and getting ready for the week ahead.

Yesterday I watched a PBS special based on Dr. Wayne Dyer's program called Excuses Begone! and it made me reflect on all those excuses we all have for not being everything we want to be, and do and have in our lives.

The program didn't really have any new material that I have not heard in other forms, from other people, and Dr Dyer does acknowledge that he is borrowing from other "self-help" luminaries such as Louise Hay (who was in the audience) and Byron Katie's The Work. In fact he is also promoting one of my favorites, Dr. Bruce Lipton's Biology of Belief.

The thing about this program that I felt made it stand out is that he took a poll of thousands of his followers and wanted to know what excuses they had for not living the life they desired. He took the 18 most used examples from those who responded and created affirmations to turn those excuses around. He advised the viewers to write those affirmations down and put them all around the house, and office and keep reminding themselves of just how powerful they are to create change.

So, with that in mind, I have copied all 18 of the affirmations, printed them out and distributed them around me to help me remember.

I hope you will do the same. We ARE co-creators of our world. Let's make it a fantastic one!

Reiki Daily Practice

noreply@blogger.com (JoAnne Robinson) — Wed, 29 Jul 2009 11:55:00 +0000

I've been reading Reiki: A Comprehensive Guide, by Pamila Miles and all through the book she emphasizes the absolute necessity of daily practice for all level of Reiki practitioners.

Aside from just loving the book, I resonate so strongly with her advice to use Reiki every day. When I was a young child my mother taught me to kneel down at the side of my bed each morning, and each night, and "say my prayers". As you can imagine, over the years this practice fell by the wayside. However, since discovering Reiki I have now gone back to my childhood practice, and although I no longer kneel at my bedside, I do sit every morning, and evening and do at least a partial Reiki self-treatment. I let the Reiki guide me.

So, no matter what else is happening in my life, I have that reassuring knowledge that Reiki will always guide me through my day, and protect me through the night.

How about you? What daily rituals do you have? I would love to see your comments.

Namaste,

JoAnne

Distance Reiki

noreply@blogger.com (JoAnne Robinson) — Sun, 19 Jul 2009 15:39:00 +0000

One of the most powerful things that Reiki practitioners can do is send Reiki to people, or situations, at a distance. Reiki functions in the quantum energy field and, therefore, can flow through space and time. To explore these concepts from a scientific perspective you may want to check out both Gregg Braden and Bruce Lipton. I highly recommend both of these sites and both of these scientists for anyone who needs proof that the quantum field exists and that we are powerful parts of that field.

In my own experience, I need no more than the results my friends, family and clients have had through the use of distant Reiki. One such example would be of a client that was about to have hip replacement surgery and requested distance Reiki. I knew the day and time of the procedure, and started sending Reiki to her at the exact time, and several times throughout the day. Several weeks after her surgery we spoke and she was amazed at how fast she recovered, and how quickly her range of motion was restored while working with her physical therapist.

Reiki can also be sent into the future. Whenever I am running late for an appointment I just send distant Reiki to the place that I am going, and I always arrive on time. I send it to meetings so that the outcome will be for "the highest good" of all concerned.

It's always there, and it''s always available, so why not use it?

I invite you to experience distant Reiki for yourself. Click here and I would be honored to send you this wonderful energy.

Reiki - The More You Give, The More You Get

noreply@blogger.com (JoAnne Robinson) — Sat, 11 Jul 2009 23:34:00 +0000

Today was one of those days that I experienced that joyous capacity to get more than I gave.

I had three people come into my day who clearly required "healing energy" in one way or another. Sometimes it's just about being with someone who just needs a little positive boost. Sometimes it's about some really serious need, but always, it's about the Reiki knowing, and never about me.

It's taken me a while, but I finally stopped asking "why" and "how" and I just let my intuition tell me where I need to take the Reiki. It took me all over town today. Last month it took me all the way from Florida to Vermont. It always knows. I just have to show up, get out of it's way, and let it flow. That's the really HARD part. We humans always have to get our "heads" into everything. Once we get over that, it's just amazing how powerful we can become.

So, Reiki, once again has taken me on a fantastic journey today, and I am ever so grateful for this wonderful feeling of fulfillment and peacefulness.

Another great day here in Paradise!

What's the Universe Trying to Tell Me?

noreply@blogger.com (JoAnne Robinson) — Wed, 08 Jul 2009 10:44:00 +0000

Every morning, as I waken, I try to clear my mind and ground myself to a new day. I've found that getting out of bed in that mind-set helps me begin the day in a clear and positive mood.

I always ask for guidance. "What to do today?"

This morning only one word came into my awareness - SHOES! I have no idea why, I'm just going with it. I do need to update my shoe collection. As we women age we find less and less use for those 4" heels, and I do need to liberate the last few pairs.

I have recently decided to re-enter the workforce, and those flip-flops and sandals are just not going to be very useful in any work environment that I would be qualified to inhabit. As it happens, I have an odd shoe size, so I tend to buy shoes first, and then build the rest of my wardrobe "from the ground up" as they say.

So maybe that's the message the universe has for me today. "I need to get my shoes, and my cloths, in order for that perfect new job that's just about to come my way"

I like it! I'm going with that one just for today!

Have wonderful day, and watch out for what the universe has to say to you today.

Each morning I try and find the perfect music to start my day out with a peaceful mindset. I find that if I set my intention this way, no matter what comes along during the day, at least I have put myself in a peaceful place.

Take a look, and listen, to the selections of some short clips that may help you get into that peaceful place as you start your day.

Enjoy!

Finding My Way...With Reiki

noreply@blogger.com (JoAnne Robinson) — Sun, 05 Jul 2009 13:22:00 +0000

It's been a while since I've posted anything. I've been on a journey, in both a physical and spiritual sense.

At the end of May I had a strong intuition that I wanted to spend June 9th (my late mother's birthday) with my Aunt Pauline in Vermont. I hesitated for a while, and checked with the other family members in the area, and found that the best time for me to be there would be from June 15th on. Everyone agreed, and so off I went.

The minute I arrived that Monday evening I realized this was no ordinary visit. I began giving my aunt Reiki, and spent the next 3 days by her bedside. Her failing health had reached a critical point and I knew why I was called to Vermont.

When I got up on Friday morning I was told that Aunt Pauline had passed away quietly in her sleep overnight. It was sad, but not unexpected. I was sad for my cousins, I knew the grief that they would be going through.

So my journey with Reiki continues. It seems to lead me to exactly the place where I am most needed, at exactly the right moment. The comfort, and peacefulness are exquisite.

As I ponder the meaning of this journey, I will post my insights here to share. I invite you to do the same. We are all on this journey together. Feel free to comment and share as well.

Reiki and Sedona Method Releasing

noreply@blogger.com (JoAnne Robinson) — Sat, 25 Apr 2009 11:38:00 +0000

During the last few years I've been on a path of self-discovery, and along the way I have traveled several avenues. One of the major roads that has helped me has been "The Sedona Method" of releasing unwanted feelings and emotions. As I sit here writing this post, I realize that I have been using an almost perfect combination of "energy" techniques - Reiki and The Sedona Method.

Releasing unwanted feelings and emotions clears the way for healing to happen naturally. Once we let go of believing that we "are" in pain, physically, emotionally or spiritually, and simply allow that some energy may be pooled up somewhere and allow it to be released, what can happen is simply miraculous. Making this shift from perceiving our self as "being" happy, sad, in pain, or any other emotion, and experience our true nature of "beingness" the space opens up for limitless possibilities to happen. The Sedona Method helps to really understand that old saying, "We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience".

It is from this perspective that the practice of Reiki becomes so powerful. Making the shift to a state of "beingness" allows Reiki universal life force energy to flow freely and enhances the ability to accept the perfection that we are, to allow our true nature to express itself physically, mentally and emotionally.

If you would like to explore The Sedona Method with an expert, world known, facilitator I sincerely recommend that you get in touch with my friend, Chuck Goodwin. He can help you to understand how to release and help you to find your own path to true freedom.

Let Chuck know that you heard about him through this blog and he has agreed to offer a one hour introductory coaching session and a 50% discount off his regular coaching rates. Now that's a good friend! Don't pass up this opportunity.

Take a look at his website http://chuckscoaching.com/2501.html then get in touch with him. You deserve to be FREE!!!

Alternative Health Care Use For Autism

noreply@blogger.com (JoAnne Robinson) — Sun, 15 Mar 2009 12:40:00 +0000

Even if you are not a parent Autism is a very important topic to learn about. I had no idea that it was so pervasive among our children. What does this mean for our future? It seems that we have a lot of hype, and not a lot of facts.

Health Care Reform - Stuck?

noreply@blogger.com (JoAnne Robinson) — Sun, 08 Mar 2009 16:09:00 +0000

We all know that the health care system in the United States is sick. Millions of Americans have no access to health care, or are so under insured they are at major risk.

The new administration is very outspoken about wanting to fix this situation, but how can they hope to make a meaningful change in a world that can't even keep the banks and car makers in business?

We now have a huge new program underway to help people with their mortgages. Can anyone really use these programs yet? I've heard nothing but frustration from people trying to navigate the sea of red-tape in the mortgage system.

If the government can't figure out how to help people keep their homes, their jobs, or their savings accounts, how will they make major changes in health care?

We seem to be swimming in a sea of governmental bureaucracy. My opinion is that any real change will come from us, from the American people, through grass-roots campaigns that gain so much strength and power that changes will inevitably follow.

What do you think?

Let's start taking control. Let's just stop talking and get it done. Together.
