Holistic healing of the physical, mental and emotional

Integrating

Sometimes I expect myself to be super human… With only a day to recover from my Amsterdam flight I stepped into a 4 day continuing education course.  It was amazing though!  Zero Balancing (ZB) is a very effective form of energy healing.  I did not expect however the intense integration time needed after a treatment.  I’ve been a little useless since my first full ZB treatment on day one of the course.  All my body’s energy has been very busy resetting, cleansing and purging since then.

ZB focuses on increasing the energy flow in the bones.  I’m thrilled the CMTBC accepted it as a suitable continuing ed course!  It’s basically a mix of massage and Reiki. The person on the table lies clothed and face up.  The practitioner increases the energy flow by holding a certain amount of tension along a joint.  Like unlocking a door, allowing it to swing open by itself.  The energy can then flow through the blockage and a healthy energy flow results.  I like to say ZB is like a key or a secret code to the body.  You jiggle the key (or move the body) in a certain way, it will unlock.  While I was on the table receiving ZB, the energy felt “clunky” as it released.  The door will swing open by itself afterwards.  This is the integration part.  I would say Reiki in comparison feels more like… the doors dissolve.  Bone has a dense and low vibration and I feel the blockages slowly seeping out.  After the ZB treatment I felt taller, lighter and safe, just as I do after Reiki.

Very old stuff gets stored in the bones.  Today, I felt doubt that had been there since the womb seep out of me.  It was horrible and beautiful.  I spent the whole day alone and some time outdoors (hence the photo) and that helped immensely.  I feel much more myself now.  As I should.  ZB balances you back to zero, your neutral, your authentic self.

Zero Balancing is an amazingly relaxing form of energy healing safe for just about everybody.  I’m definitely going to incorporate it into my massage and Reiki whenever I feel called to.  I plan to take Zero Balancing II next year 🙂  Back to integrating.

Vacation Time!

I will be away and unavailable for Reiki March 30 – April 19.

adventure time!

I’m going on a German river cruise with my mother!  I recently did a reading with my Celtic Tree Oracle Card Deck.  I pulled the card The Sea.  This card relates to the sea and its hidden depths, travel and maternal links.  “The Sea (water) represents the lunar and the female, and it is a link between your place of birth and the lands to which you may have to go on your spiritual passage.”  How fitting!  I’ve been very aware of my moods and growth in relation to the moon and its cycles lately.

I’ve never traveled with my Mum alone and can already feel how life changing this trip will be.  I think understanding presence, mindfulness and female energy will be a theme.  It’ll be the longest I’ve been on a boat and I’m excited to attune my energy to the flow of the Rhine River!

When I return from Europe I attend a Zero Balancing course for my RMT continuing education credits.  It sounds like energy healing for the bones and I can’t wait to try it!

Feel free to contact me through email to book Reiki for April.

Until my return,

Love and gratitude

What is Healing?

Healing is:

A lifelong journey into wholeness

Seeking harmony and balance in one’s own life, in family, community and global relations

An instant of transcendence – above and beyond the self

Embracing what is most feared

Opening what has been closed, softening what has been hardened into obstruction

Creativity, passion and love

Seeking and expressing self in its fullness; its light and shadows, its male and female

Remembering what has been forgotten about connection, unity and interdependence among all things living and nonliving

Learning to trust life

Raising your Vibration Meditation

I found an amazing meditation I’d like to share while going through all my Reiki info. I’m busy making my Level One Reiki course manual!

⭐⭐⭐

The purpose of this meditation is to open your heart center and use your awakened heart to open and balance your energies at many levels from the physical to the spiritual.

Steps: Get into your Higher Self state for this meditation.

1. Put your hand over your heart and say to yourself with feeling “I love you. I accept you as you are. I commit to you. You are important. Your life counts.” Say this until you can feel its truth.

2. Ask your heart to guide you to follow its loving way. Ask it to speak to you more clearly. Tell it you will listen. You can trust your heart, for it will always lead you to your higher good. Put your hand down gently.

3. Imagine your heart as a star and let it radiate love and light into every cell in your body. Feel the light from your heart balancing, harmonizing and regenerating your body, enhancing the flow of life-force energy throughout.

4. Spend a moment feeling any emotions that are present right now. Send love to each one that you can identify. Take a moment to listen to your thoughts as they come into your mind. Send love to each thought as it comes up.

5. As you come back to the room, take a deep breath and feel the glow of love throughout your body.

Love and gratitude,

Case Study: Winter the cat and Naya the dog – Entry 3

According to her owners, Winter the cat has become more loving lately.  She has been spotted in the upstairs hallway and computer room asking for cuddles from her dad.  She loves her dad soooo much and I realize he’s going to be a big factor in her recovery.  Next I’d like him to spend some time in his room cuddling with her.  The more positive experiences she has in each room the better.  We must replace all the old negative memories of the other cat.  I’m sure a room that smells like dad will relax her completely.

I played outside with Naya the dog on this visit!  I grew up with cats and have been excited about bonding with dogs.  I can officially say I love this dog!  She’s the easiest animal to communicate with that I’ve come across so far.  She was very confident outside and can run like crazy!  I got a good workout and got to observe her in a different and more natural environment.  At one point she was trotting off into the bushes and looked back at me to ask if it was ok.  I said “I trust you”.  I had almost instant regret as she then sprinted off into the woods.  She didn’t go out of my sight though and I appreciated it, later though, I did lose her.  I knew what direction she had gone, but couldn’t see or hear her.  I was preparing myself for a conversation with my neighbours… “Sorry I lost your dog!”  After a few minutes, I concentrated fully on telepathically calling her, telling her I was worried.  Seconds later I heard her collar jingle, getting closer and closer.  I was quite relieved when she appeared.  She gave me this look like “You said you trusted me.”

There was a point during our play on the driveway when she stopped and seemed anxious suddenly.  I think the environment must have triggered it.  We paused and I put my hand on her heart and started the flow of Reiki.  She then turned around and gave me her bum.  I giggled and worked on her root chakra instead.  She started doing her anxious rocking movement on her back feet.  As soon as I felt an energetic release she let go a huge sigh and became still.  We then ran around like crazy again.  I want to get her on a leash and walking the roads soon as that’s where her aggression comes out.

This will be my last visit with them for a while as the owners are doing some unexpected traveling.  I miss them already!

Love and gratitude,

Brenna Reiki Master

Making Time For Yourself

This is Beau.  He is my beloved 25lb re-curve bow.  I have been very busy lately and neglecting him.  I went 5 weeks without practicing archery.  When I finally picked Beau up the other day, I felt concerned.  Can I still do this?  Has my skill diminished?

I practice massage therapy 3 days a week and something I always hear from my clients regarding homecare is “I didn’t have time”.  We’re all guilty of this.  I don’t have time for yoga.  I didn’t have time to walk.  I didn’t have time to *insert self care here*.  This shows a lack of self love.

Honestly I did have the time to do archery.  I just didn’t feel like it.  I kept myself too busy and I felt drained of energy when I had alone time.  So I would waste my time and distract myself with something else… possibly throwing away a skill and hobby I loved.

When I did finally shoot the other day, I was surprised.

Made with Square InstaPic

My first round (L) wasn’t bad.  My second round (R) was from a further distance.  I was hitting all over the board until I hit a bullseye with my 8th arrow.  I felt aligned; the same way I always have shooting.  Time changed nothing.  I felt a rush of love and a feeling of profound safety and reassurance.

Archery is something I feel I’m born with.  I can always come back to it.  Everyone has that one skill or talent they were born with.  What is that for you?  That thing that ignites your soul and makes you feel right inside?  Have you spent any time developing it recently?  I urge you to.  It’s part of the self love path and helps to light the way.  Make time for yourself.  Make time for Beau.

Let’s all live the lives we truly want! … even if it’s scary.

Case Study: Winter the cat and Naya the dog – Entry 2

I have had 3 visits with Winter. She’s officially scratched her scratcher in the hallway upstairs and claimed that space! My plan is to slowly spread her territory throughout the house. We’re starting with the upstairs as her home is currently the master bedroom/bath. Another break through was when I patiently lured her into the upstairs office. After I communicated to her “This is your space” she began to purr and mark everything she could find. I’ve never seen her so happy or her confidence so great. I’ve got high hopes for Winter! If her humans stick to their homework she’ll claim the whole upstairs soon.

The second half of my 3rd visit was with Naya the dog. She’s known to be aggressive towards other dogs and people while on walks. She is much better with touch than Winter, so instead of energy beaming, I was able to do a hands on Reiki session on the couch. Fear was her main negative energy. Love and protection were her main positive energies. This can make for an over protective dog. She’s a rescue and is wary of men so the owners suspect abuse in her past. Naya and I connected very well and after some long eye contact I realized this creature was too wise for her own good! I’m very excited to see her again and will split my time between both creatures with each future visit.

By the way, I’m the happiest I’ve ever been when I’m working with animals! … If you or someone you know needs any kind of help with their animal’s health or behavior please keep me in mind! With a bit more time and experience I would love to start aiding animals (and humans!) with Reiki and animal communication.

The Chakras

Are you familiar with the 7 Chakras? They are the main energy centers of the body and each one has a specific function in our lives. When they are in balance, cosmic energy flows effortlessly between them and the body is healthy. Unfortunately, stress and suppressed emotions can cause blockages in the energy flow, creating imbalance and illness. Reiki helps to release these blockages and promotes a healthy energy flow!
