​Some may not know all the benefits that Reiki can provide. Others question if Reiki is the right treatment for an issue they may be having. I can assure you the Reiki is for everyone and everything! Adding Reiki in combination to other alternative healing modalities can only enhance the healing process. Here are some of the benefits of  a Reiki treatment. 

• Stress Relief- Wearing the world on your shoulders? Dealing with a high stressed job? Life challenges and transitions have your worn down and and far from relaxed? Reiki can provide stress relief and relaxation, which promotes the body's natural healing abilities. 
• Physical Pain- Reiki is known to relieve headaches, arthritis, aches and pains, and other physical ailments. It is used in hospitals as a complementary service in assisting with the healing process after surgeries. 
• Emotional/Mental Pain- Suffering from depression, emotional distress, or emotional trauma? Reiki offers a comforting energy that brings a balance to the soul in order to be able to 'feel to heal with ease. 
• Spiritual- Searching for ways to quiet the mind and find your path in this life? Reiki promotes peace and harmony, which are things that can help you achieve evolving to the next step.

Fall has always been my favorite season of the year. The crisp cool mornings, the changing of the leaves, and the need to get rid of the old and get ready for the new. During this season of 'letting go', we have the best holidays to enjoy. Halloween is one of my favorite past times. Dressing up, transforming into someone else and then getting candy for it? Yes please! I watch spooky movies the whole month of October, just to get pumped up! And yes, I watched all of Stranger Things 2 in less than 24 hours. I love visiting haunted buildings and places with history that extends lifetimes before. 
The origin and history of how Halloween came to be what it is today is very interesting. It has roots in age-old European traditions. Samhain is a Gaelic festival marking the end of the harvest season and the beginning of the winter. It's a time to honor our ancestors that came before us. Why orange and black? Black represents death and the darkness, while orange is associated with fire, dusk, and the leaves that had changed colors. Check out this video below for some more fun facts!

Even though I've out grown the trick or treating fun, I still have my few rituals that I do every year. It's 3 days of creating, honoring my ancestors, and embracing the traditions, new and old. I start by writing out my intentions clearly. What do you want to release this season? What is blocking you from letting go in order to embrace your new beginnings that are coming in the new year. Just some ideas there. While I am journaling, I always have my white candle lit and  have sage and lavender flowers burning. I finish my writing with a card reading. I use the Goddess Tarot, especially this time of year. I do a larger spread than the normal 3 card pull. The other things I do are cleaning out cabinets and closets, deep clean the house, bake breads or treats (give them away or eat them yourself), create with crafts or make sugar scrubs, create an alter for my ancestors, celebrate with food and beverages by having a party or attend one, and dress up! During the Samhain festival, the villagers cleaned there homes during the day of Halloween. They extinguished all the fires in their homes upon leaving for the celebration.  At the celebration, they all collected fire from the ceremonial fire and brought it back to their hearth to 'light the darkness' as a community. Fall cleaning is very similar for me, except I don't go get fire from my neighbors....but that sounds very cool.  There's more but this gives you an idea of how awesome Halloween is as an adult! How do you spend your Halloween? Do you celebrate Fall's arrival and the changing of the season?

Everyday, the sunrise rises and sets on a continual rotating clock. The seasons come and go the same time every year yet we still say the same ol' "I can't believe the holidays are already here!" Time is one of the most precious gifts we have, but it's something that we can take for granted at times. We get stuck on making routines, setting plans, and trying to control life only to be 'surprised' when things don't go our way. Life is unpredictable. Change is inevitable. 

I was introduced to the words 'divine timing' in my early 20's when I started using an Oracle deck. For those of you that don't know, an oracle deck is tool some use for receiving positive affirmations or messages. It's a no-rule type of tarot. No structure or layout is needed. You just shuffle the cards, while thinking of a question or just asking for guidance for your day. There are many decks out there, but my favorite theme for an oracle deck is the angels. One of the cards I drew frequently was Diving Timing.  Little did I know, it would be one of my favorite cards after all these years. It  affirms to me that everything is happening in the 'order' and time it's supposed to. No need to rush, you can't control it anyways. No need to get upset when things go awry, it will happen when it's supposed to if at all. 
It's easiest to see examples of divine timing in the biggest transitions of your life or significant milestones that you have accomplished. Remember you before the crisis, the problem, or the huge move? How about enduring a heartbreak only to find your soulmate afterwards? Think back to how things fell into place at the right time and the way everything worked out in maybe a way you didn't see happening. Divine timing is such a gift. When you notice it, acknowledge it and then be grateful. Thank God, the universe, your angels, the Divine Source you choose. Trust the process and know that the universe has your back.
