I cannot separate myself from the energy of Reiki, I use this healing practice everyday in some capacity. I don't know what my life would be like without Reiki in it. I especially am grateful as of late, in turning to Reiki in aid of my beloved, 15 year old, cat, Willis.
It seems as though, Willis's life here on Earth may be coming to a close. He has been taking medication for his thyroid for about 4 months which has stressed his kidneys, that now seem to be functioning less and less. I have watched my robust 15 lb cat, drop to 8 lbs over the last 4 months. At our last vet visit this week, I was told that there isn't much I can do but make him as comfortable as possible. It has been heart breaking to watch Willis ask me for food, and upon serving it, he does not eat. We have tried every kind of savory cat food and nothing seems to stimulate his appetite. It is a very painful process to witness, I feel very helpless, accept for my ability to offer him, Reiki.
Thank God for Reiki. It has carried me through many struggles and tribulations over the years, but this one is the hardest yet. Willis is very open to receiving Reiki as he will come to me for a treatment. My intention is not to necessarily pro-long his life, but to comfort him and allow the energy to bring about the highest & best outcome, just as the healing system is based in. I continually have to surrender to the highest good as I do not know what else to do, except trust that everything will come about just how it needs to, and Reiki comforts me in that way.
I continue to ask Willis what it is he needs and trust that he will tell me when he is ready to drop his body- as this is not a decision I want to make alone. My strength lies in Reiki's ability to give as much ease, grace, & insight, as possible, as it always does in any application.
I am very blessed to have Reiki in my life and to have the very best friend I have ever known, Willis. Love and Light to him and to all who may be going through similar transitions of letting go.

One Gathering Reflections
Expansive, is a good word to sum up how my heart center feels post One Gathering. The program on the October 3rd, was once again, magical, it takes on a flow of itself, as all the facilitators are the channels to which it manifests. It blows me away every time, how it 'rolls out' because there is no rehearsal, and many times, none of the facilitators have ever met in person, but yet, the program goes smoothly & is dazzling.
It was a joy to work with Narayan & Janet Baltzo, who's music & lyrics were upbeat and positive- they really got the energy of the audience flowing, opening up the program. Intuitive Seer, Carol Heywood's message about the evolutionary process planet Earth and humanity are experiencing was very enlightening & hopeful. Samantha Parrot took us into a water blessing for all the waters of the planet and closed it with the audience offering waves of love- the energy felt like a gentle, nurturing mother, caressing a child's face. After intermission, Native American, storyteller, Paul "Che oke'ten" Wagner, engaged the audience with a looping flute song he created on stage, as he shared an ancient entertaining, story from his people, about a mermaid awakening to the connection of the oneness we all are. I gave a brief, practical talk about living in alignment with the higher self/prime source, sharing 3 keys in doing this- dumping fear; raising vibration of thought; & living in emotional integrity. We then went into the attunement process.
The attunement entailed the Baltzo's & Paul Wagner playing improv with the energy that was coming through, with Carol Heywood guiding audience members into the heart center. I began to open up to channel the high, pure, loving energy, in tandem with my attunement partner, Samantha Parrott, who was across the theater from me. We also had 4 Reiki Masters standing in as anchors for the attunement energy to channel through, creating a grid to evenly disperse the offering to the audience. I believe our prep work as a team, beforehand, helped immensely in my ability to channel this energy in a more 'streamlined' way, as well as the gentle quality in which audience members received it.
Feedback about the attunement thus far, has been positive, and described as an encompassing loving, wonderful energy that has expanded the heart. I am very pleased to hear this, as it was our intention to lift/expand the consciousness of the heart. I have been feeling very elevated since the attunement! I am noticing that I am able to remain in a general loving state effortlessly. I am enjoying this expansive feeling in my heart- it is a very reassuring, loving, & an energizing connection. I feel like I have cleared a few 'layers' of 'stuff' that was prohibiting me from this full connection before. It's the kind of 'high' one feels when they have just met a new romantic interest! I am in love with life. Living from the heart center has a heaven-like quality.
The wheels are already turning for the next trek for, The One Gathering V, in 2011. Stay tuned! Photos & video of, TOG IV, to posted soon at http://www.TheOneGathering.com . PEACE.
