Pamela (00:07):
Hi and welcome to the Reiki from the Farm podcast
brought to you by me, Pam AllenLeBlanc from Hidden Brook Farm.
I am a scientist, abusinesswoman, and a licensed
Reiki master teacher with theInternational Center for Reiki
Training.
Each week in this podcast you'llbe entertained as you learn
about a wide variety of relevantReiki topics, helping you become
(00:30):
a more knowledgeable andeffective Reiki practitioner.
We caution you though, thispodcast may also dramatically
improve your life, and we are sohappy that you're here.
(00:55):
Welcome to this month's Reikishare and this week's podcast.
I hope you'll excuse my voice,my daughter.
We're brought a cold home forChristmas, and it's worked its
way through all of us.
I'm super excited about ourReiki share and our podcast,
though, this month.
And the reason is that we'regoing to be talking about
(01:17):
manifesting, setting powerfulintentions for 2025 and how to
manifest those, or using Reikito not only to help manifest
them, but also to help set theintentions.
Because so often with our peoplemake New Year's resolutions, and
we make New Year's resolutionsbased on our ego, usually, like
(01:40):
what the ego wants, what themind wants.
And so what we're going to bedoing tonight is going to be, I
think, fun.
And that's just tapping in alittle deeper to the soul level.
And find out what the soul wantsfor 2025, and there's a lot of
reasons for it, but 2025 isgoing to be a very big year of
(02:02):
change, and 2024 was already abig year of change.
2026 is when it all comestogether, but we're really
stepping into that new paradigmthat I've been talking about for
quite a while, so I'm so gladthat you're all here.
Before we get too far in,though, I just would like to let
you know about some of theclasses we have coming up in
(02:25):
January and February.
The weekend of the 25th and 26this a Reiki Level 1 and 2 class,
and of course, any of you canreview that class if you've
already studied it with me.
You can always review it forhalf the class.
price or half fee if you wouldlike.
Through the week or actuallyit's two, it's Friday evening,
(02:46):
Saturday, Sunday, and Mondayevening, there's a Reiki master
class, January 31st to February3rd, and these are all licensed
classes with the ICRT, whichmeans that you qualify for
professional membership in theReiki Membership Association
when you study those two levelswith a licensed teacher.
(03:08):
And some people like to comeback and review their courses
with a licensed teacher just tobring it up to that level.
I'm also teaching a Kaurna Reikimasterclass January 27th to the
30th.
That's four evenings through theweek, and it'll be mornings in
Australia and in Asia.
And I'd love to have you join usif that speaks to you.
(03:31):
Kaurna Reiki really is.
is a very advanced Reiki masterclass.
You can study that after you'vebeen a Reiki master for at least
six months.
And it really does take thingsto the next level.
So if that's something thatyou're considering, that might
be a really good time to joinus.
(03:52):
February 8th and 9th is myAnimal Reiki level one and two
class.
That's a weekend class.
And the following and thenFebruary 10th to 13th is an
Animal Reiki Masterclass, andthat's the evenings through the
week.
And I'm going to try that formatto just make the classes more
(04:12):
available to our Australianstudents, the Masterclasses, and
the Asian students.
And so hopefully that will beThat will be helpful.
And also a lot of people areinterested in the animal
communication for Reikipractitioners class.
I won't be offering it againuntil late next fall, but I am
(04:33):
offering a level one and twointroductory workshop February
15th and 16th, and that's onlinein the Eastern Time Zone.
These classes are all online.
This time around, in April,we'll do some in person classes.
I'll be doing the Level 3Professional Practitioner
Workshop on February 17th, andthat's a long weekend for us
(04:55):
here in North America, so it'sPresident's Day in the U.
S., and it's actually Family Dayhere in parts of Canada.
And then I'll be doing theAnimal Communication Master
Teacher for the first timeFebruary 18th to 20th, and
that's for three evenings justfollowing these two classes.
(05:18):
So I am really excited that theenergy has finally shown me a
way forward so that other peoplecan start teaching the animal
communication work.
And so if that speaks to you,the prerequisites are level one
and two and level three and atleast a master level.
(05:38):
With Reiki.
You see we master level withReiki and would love to have
more and more people out thereteaching our system of animal
communication because peopletell me that it's just so very
helpful.
Also coming up is HealthcareReiki.
Tracy Sullivan and I have beenworking on a new course.
(05:59):
We've been listening to theenergy.
It's Blowing us away, a littlebit, to put it mildly and it's
Reiki, it's a formal program foroffering Reiki in healthcare
settings, including hospitals,nursing homes, hospice, massage
therapy and naturopathy areasand just any healthcare care.
(06:23):
area that you can think ofpretty much even animals as
well.
It does it does apply toanimals.
There is a formal class set upApril 30th and May 1st.
Tracy and I will be teaching itin person in at Silver Bay, New
York at the Northeast ReikiRetreat, but we also will teach
(06:44):
an online class prior to thateither.
the weekend before or at somepoint in February.
That pilot class hasn't beendetermined yet but please reach
out if you'd like to be put onthe list to be invited.
We're just going to invite asmall number of people to that
class.
And we'd love to have you joinus as well for the Northeast
(07:06):
Reiki Retreat, even if you don'tjoin the class, we will be
talking about health care Reikiduring the retreat and giving
people an experience with it.
So that will be fun.
We'd love to have you join us.
Now before we get too far intoit, I'm also going to, if you
have Reiki, I'm just going toinvite you to bring your hands
(07:26):
in Gassho, and even if youdon't, you can go ahead and
bring your hands in Gassho, andall of our Reiki energy will
flow around you.
And just think of the symbolsthat you would like to invite to
join you today and just invitethem in one by one.
(07:54):
This is an auspicious start toour year, to a very important
year, a nine universal year,which has tremendous
significance.
So just take your time, and ifyou like to draw the symbols
around you, you can do that aswell, and just go ahead and
(08:19):
allow the Reiki energy to beginto flow and all of the symbols
to join you.
Before we began this evening, wewere talking about how sometimes
(08:39):
Reiki blows things up thataren't in our best interest so
that we can move on to somethingelse.
And however 2024 treated you,whether it brought a lot of
significant endings, significantbeginnings, or even stagnation,
(09:03):
we just acknowledge that itdidn't.
Everything has a season, andthat we can't always be in the
full bloom of summer.
Sometimes we need to pause.
Reset.
In fact, if we were constantlyin a state of expansion, pretty
(09:25):
soon our foundation wouldcrumble because it wouldn't be
able to support that continuedexpansion.
So we acknowledge that we gothrough these phases of
expansion and contraction inorder to build our foundation
stronger and that they're just anatural part of the growth cycle
(09:52):
that every living beingexperiences.
Take a moment to look back onthe past year and just say thank
you to you, because you showedup.
(10:13):
When it was difficult, youshowed up.
When it was easy and effortless,you still showed up.
You showed up for yourself andfor others.
So just take a moment toappreciate you and that you're
here listening to the call, away shower, that rock for your
(10:42):
family.
And whatever you do for work,and just acknowledge that you
are that way shower.
You are that person for yourpeers that lives in a way that
(11:05):
shows them change is possibleand positive.
And just take a moment torelease any things sticky and
stuck from the past year.
We're going to do that moreformally, but let's just begin.
(11:32):
You can even do a Kenyoku withyour right hand at your left
shoulder, sweep down to yourright hip, and then left hand to
right shoulder, down to yourright hip, and once more, left
shoulder to right hip, and leftshoulder out to the tips of your
fingers, shoulder out to thetips, and left again.
(11:55):
And just give the energy afling, and we're going to leave
that energy back in 2024.
It no longer encumbers us.
As we take a step forward intothis glorious new year, 2025,
(12:22):
take a moment to ask your egoand personality to step aside
and let your inner self knowthat today we'd like to make
decisions from our soul space.
And we'd like the ego to juststep aside and personality and
to not be part of the decisionmaking process.
(12:45):
It can come back in when it'stime to implement the decisions.
But for right now, we ask themto stand to the side so that our
soul can work with Reiki goingforward.
We can listen with Reiki,hearing the parts of this
(13:05):
podcast and this share that arethe most important for us.
Thank you.
Namaste.
(13:29):
So guys, in this podcast andthis Reiki share, I want to
welcome you and just talk aboutthe possibility of setting our
New Year's intentions with Reikiand with our soul, and so that
it can align with our soul'spurpose, not our ego, not our
(13:51):
personality, the soul.
And that's why we asked the egoand personality to step to the
side.
And I'd like to let you know alittle bit about 2024, 2025, why
they were the way they were.
There's an astrologer that Ifollow named Elizabeth Peru out
(14:12):
of Australia, and she has areally neat numerology guide.
I'd like to share a little bitof her work.
What she says with you, shetalks about the fact that 2024
was the eight universal year.
(14:33):
And so it was challenging in theextreme, physically demanding,
and exceptionally grossinducing.
And I don't know about you guys,but with everything that I
experienced on the campaigntrail, I'm still nursing an
injured knee.
That is absolutely.
bang on.
And 2024 was the first time in45 years that an eight universal
(15:00):
year happened alongside of asolar maximum, which is the peak
of the sun's, cycle.
So it was a year of preparationand self initiation.
And she talks about howchallenging that was for the
people, the souls that are hereto help support and uplift
(15:24):
humanity during our transitioninto the Aquarian Astrological
Age.
And if you're here with me,you're I believe that you're one
of those souls, and so you mayhave found 2024 to be very
challenging.
Elizabeth talks about the factthat the tests we experienced in
(15:46):
2024 were designed to help usgauge and apply what we had
learned about ourselves in 2023,which was a year of soul
searching, and it was deeplyinternal.
It was a self study.
seven universal year.
And when I talk about eight,seven, nine universal years,
what that means is that actuallyuses the science of numerology,
(16:09):
where you actually take thenumbers to 2024, and you add two
plus two plus four, two pluszero plus two plus four to come
up with the eight universalyear.
And this does seem uncannily tohave some impact.
As well as astrology on howthings play out throughout the
(16:32):
year.
So 2023 was about getting toknow ourselves on an authentic
soul level.
2024 was the year of growth andchallenges, and so we had to
confront our inner paradigms wehad to The inner retreat became
(16:53):
a normal thing that we had tostart doing to try to, just to
try to figure it all out.
And, It was, and all while justcontinuing the momentum of
living life, so it was she callsit a prerequisite to having a
strong spiritual connection andone that anchors you in love.
Now 2025 is a little different,a lot different.
(17:19):
It's a nine universal year.
What 2025 is the year of theempowered soul.
So what that means is that we'reconcluding any lessons from the
foundations we set way, way backin 2017.
So if you think about 2017 andjust consider What were you
(17:41):
doing in 2017?
In 2017 for me, I was gettingready for my first child to go
to university and, the kids werestill young, they were still
here in school.
What was happening for you then?
That was the one universal yearwhere profound embodied wisdom
(18:01):
came.
And this might seem a year ofconclusions and revelation and
head into heart integration onthe higher planes of knowing and
personal enlightenment.
It's also what she calls a yearof soul embodiment.
So what we're working on or whatwe're trying to gain in 2025 is
(18:26):
to apply the wisdom we gainedthrough 2024 to elevate our
human life so it's moremeaningful and fulfilling.
Because of that awareness, wecan actually shift so that the
soul is the one that directs ourdaily activities instead of the
(18:47):
ego and personality, whichtypically are the ones that are
in charge, maybe not ofeverything, but of our daily
activities.
So we're actually shifting sothat the soul is not only in
charge of our soul's path, oursoul's journey, but it's even
getting into the minutiae ofwhat we do every day.
So this year is a year thatwe're going to be creating new
(19:09):
life patterns and I don't knowabout you guys But my husband
and I both independentlyDiscovered that we had each
downloaded a habit trackerdifferent ones just to try to
develop some new more effectivepatterns For what and habits for
what we're trying to create Andit's also a year to just
(19:34):
consider all the growth that wehave accomplished and achieved.
So in order to do all of this,it is going to be important to
become a little bit more awareof the reason that we want to
lead a soul led life and whereour soul wants to be going.
(19:59):
And then that's going to reallyhelp power us and empower us
throughout the year.
Our presence.
Our empowered soul presencebeing able to live from that
space has the potential touplift all of humanity.
And that's at a time when itdoesn't always feel very
(20:22):
uplifted.
So we have an opportunity to dothat.
A couple of things, a couple ofthemes.
And in this nine universal year,the feminine aspect of nature
comes to the forefront.
We've been noticing in sessions,not just myself, a lot of people
have been noticing the divinefeminine coming in to be healed
(20:43):
and healing all the way backthrough the mother line.
We talked about that a littlebit last month.
And so that's great.
That's been coming and that'swhy.
Whereas 2024 was more around themasculine principle of right
action, Elizabeth says 2025represents the intuitive
(21:04):
feminine principle of rightknowing.
And so we're going to be able totrust our knowing on a deeper
level than ever before.
We're also going to begin.
wrapping up and making peacewith the actions that have been
set in motion by humanity overthe past nine years.
(21:27):
And those actions have broughtabout a lot of challenge and
opportunity both collectively,personally.
So there might be some sadnessthat comes up as a result of
this.
That often is sadness brings usto a place of compassion and
that's going to be veryimportant going forward.
It's okay to allow thosefeelings to come up, to allow
(21:51):
them to occur in all of theirintensity because we're going to
be energetically cleansing andclearing throughout 2025,
getting ready for heightenedsoul clarity.
and more aligned or wiser forthe life path to unfold.
This is a way and it's funnybecause I've never heard the
(22:11):
term way shower and startedusing it and here I see she's
using the term and I heardsomebody else using the term.
So it's just a word that'scoming through I think.
This is a year where way showersare going to rise and they're
going to feel the call to invokeharmony.
This is the year of theempowered.
(22:31):
Soul.
We'll be getting constantinformation of and energy,
constant streams of higherlight, higher consciousness,
allowing our connection with thesoul and the soul plane to
direct all of our activities,our human actions.
It's a year where our level ofawareness.
(22:52):
in the higher planes trulybegins to influence our physical
life so that we're acting inwhat she calls an empowered soul
driven way.
So that's just a little bitabout what's happening and what
the difference of what we'venoticed in 2024 and 2025.
In 2025 we've got a fewastrological things to note as
(23:18):
well.
We've got Oh, and just somethingelse, just about the nine
universal year, the number nineis about completion,
humanitarianism, and it's theconclusion of a cycle before a
new beginning.
So again, we're just going to bereflecting on the past,
(23:39):
releasing what no longer servesus and getting ready or
preparing for the future.
And then just a few things tokeep in mind for 2025
astrologically, we've got aVenus retrograde, and Venus, of
course, is the planet of love,beauty, and values, and it's
retrograde, will retrogradethrough Aries and Pisces March
(24:00):
1st to April 12th, and that'llbe encouraging us to be
introspective in relationships,creativity, and finances, and to
reassess, our personalaspirations and relationships.
We also have Pluto transitinginto Aquarius in 2025, and that
(24:23):
is that beginning of thatAquarian age that everybody's
been talking about.
So this is a big shiftsignificant changes are coming
for the next two decades, andit's just going to impact
everything.
And then we have a Uranusretrograde, where Uranus starts
in Taurus and moves into Gemini.
(24:45):
And this is going to give us anopportunity to just evaluate and
liberate ourselves from anythingrestrictive, any situations,
especially finances, materialthings.
And it's going to really help usreassess things and move into a
space of personal freedom.
(25:06):
So we've got a lot to lookforward to coming into 2025.
And so with that in mind, I hopeeverybody has a journal, like I
guess I did mention that in theReiki share, but those who are
listening, if you want to pauseand just grab something to write
(25:28):
with, we're going to usesomething called automatic
writing today, and I'm going tojoin you.
I need to do this just as muchas all of the rest of you.
We're going to do somethingcalled automatic writing in
order to.
Do start with a little bit of areflection on last year, on the
(25:48):
past year, and then we're goingto be moving into having our
soul help us set our intentionsfor the coming year.
And it's really important to usereflection.
Before setting new intentions, Ithink it's really important to
(26:08):
just see where you've grown.
And also, when you look back, alot of times you find that what
originally might have seemednegative or it might have seemed
negative when you went throughit, it was actually a period of
growth.
So I know personally, I lookback at the election and I've
talked to you guys about thisand thought, Oh my gosh, talk
(26:30):
about accelerating growth.
I learned so much.
Even though it was really hardat times and it just kept
pushing me constantly out of mycomfort zone.
I want us to start and we'regoing to spend just about two or
three minutes.
And so just grab your journaland work.
And I put a journal beside.
(26:52):
You with a pen.
And the first thing, the firstprompt that I'd like you to
write down is, what were mybiggest lessons in 2024?
So I'll just give you a minuteto write that down.
What were my biggest lessons in2024?
(27:20):
And by taking the time toreflect it allows us to build
going forward and go forward onthe foundation that we've
already created rather than in,in another direction per se, or
if we're going in anotherdirection to make use of the
foundation.
So again, that's what were mybiggest lessons in 2024.
(27:45):
And if any of you are new toautomatic writing, What I'm
going to do is just invite youto just start writing and if
nothing comes, and just writewhatever comes to your mind
without editing it, withouttrying to make it look pretty or
good or anything.
You may not even be able to readyour writing afterwards, that's
okay.
So we're going to just place ourhand on our heart, we're going
(28:09):
to ask our soul to lead alongwith Reiki.
And just show us what ourbiggest lessons were in 2024,
and if nothing comes to you,it's okay to just make your pen
swirl and make squiggles untilsomething comes through, and you
may do this with a degree ofawareness, you may be not at all
(28:32):
aware as you write, but justallow yourself to write for the
next two to three minuteswithout any thought, just
writing the first thing thatcomes down, even if it's
gobbledygook, it doesn't makeany sense.
So go ahead and begin, and I'llset a timer for us.
(28:59):
What were my biggest lessons in2024?
(31:46):
And there's just about 10seconds left.
So just go ahead and wrap up.
And now we're going to go to oursecond question around 2024.
(32:12):
And that question is, whatmoments brought me the most joy
and fulfillment?
Or what brought me the most joy?
and Fulfillment.
So just go ahead and wrap upthat question if you could.
(35:06):
If you need a bit more time youcan always come back to it
later.
I'm going to move on to our lastquestion around 2024 and that is
(35:28):
what am I ready to release as Imove forward as I move into
2025?
What am I ready to release?
I'll just give you a few minutesto write that down.
(35:50):
What am I ready to release as Imove forward?
And we're just going to go aheadand take two or three minutes
with that question, justautomatically answering it,
asking our soul to lead.
(39:00):
Let's take your time wrapping upthis question.
And I invite you, once it'swrapped up, to just go ahead and
place your hands back on yourheart.
(39:23):
And just use a mantra thatWilliam suggests we use every
day.
Please guide me and heal me, sothat I may be of greater service
to myself and to others.
And I'd like to let you knowthat you can follow up.
(39:43):
With this reflection, eitherwith a Gassho meditation, just
bringing your hands into Gasshowith the palms together, the
fingers pointing up, the thumbsat the heart.
And the Gassho meditation iswhat Yasui Sensei, the founder
of Reiki, calls the first pillarof Reiki.
(40:05):
And it's just spending timefocusing your attention on the
space between your palms.
So you could read through yournotes, and we're just going to
spend a moment or two in Gasshoright now.
Just allowing some of therevelations, information to
integrate, and even justallowing the thoughts to process
(40:29):
a little bit more, guided byReiki.
And this is one way that you cancontinue the integration and the
work in this direction.
And so we'll just spend abouttwo minutes here today.
(42:34):
When our souls came to Earth,they went through a process
called the Great Forgetting.
where we forgot how limitless weare.
We forgot our potential, thatwe're capable of anything.
We often forgot our lifepurposes and why we chose the
(42:57):
specific challenges that we did.
I believe humanity is ready, andyou are the way showers, to go
through a process that camethrough in a session today
called The Great Remembering.
(43:19):
Where our souls remember whatthey came here for.
They remember that they'relimitless, full of potential.
And in fact, one friend has atheory, and it rings very true,
that some of the new souls aregoing to come in remembering,
(43:43):
not having gone through theprocess of the Great Forgetting.
So today we begin this processof the great remembering,
allowing our soul to lead,understanding what we're here
for, ready to live from ourauthentic self.
(44:05):
You can go ahead and come back,and if anything showed up for
you that you didn't already makea note of that you'd like to
take a moment to jot down, youcan go ahead and do that now.
And this helps us have a look at2024, and, what our lessons
(44:31):
were, what brought us joy, andwhat we're ready to release.
Another way that you cancontinue or further this work is
something called a walkingmeditation, which I do most
every morning as I walk thedogs.
I activate Reiki in my palms.
(44:54):
I do a short self session, andthen I invite the symbols to be
with me for the entire day.
And I walk with intention,sometimes making Reiki trails,
sometimes not.
But I walk with intention, justallowing Reiki to guide me as I
(45:17):
step into nature.
We're very fortunate that wehave enough land we can walk the
dogs off leash on our propertyand they really enjoy it.
And so I'm really able to justenjoy the woods and just listen
for guidance.
(45:37):
The information that comes in, Ioften start with that same
message.
Please guide me and heal me sothat I may be of greater service
to myself and others.
And then as I walk, I call thatmy walking Reiki meditation.
When we look back on 2024, weoften have a tendency to focus
on the negative.
(45:59):
And what you probably noticedwith this exercise, is that
Reiki and being intentional canactually help us break that
cycle and realize that evensomething that perhaps seemed
(46:20):
negative or felt negative has alot of positive to it.
I know certainly those were someof my messages, which was, you
wounding, but Even some of thethings that I felt were negative
(46:41):
as I wrote them, I realized, Oh,they weren't that negative at
all.
They were really positive.
One of the things we're aware ofis that Reiki can help us
release, any emotional orenergetic residue from the last
past year.
For instance, let's, I'm goingto invite you to join me right
(47:05):
now, just placing your hands onyour heart and just inviting
Reiki to come into your aura,your body, your chakras,
anywhere that your mind, youremotions, even into your soul,
the soul can have parts ofitself that are injured or
damaged.
(47:30):
And we just invite this Reikienergy Whatever symbols you want
to just dissolve, anything heavyor stagnant, anything that has
run its course and that you'redone with, and just leaving us
with a clean slate ready for newpossibilities.
(47:51):
And once again, we're just gonnaspend a few minutes here.
That's all it really.
That's all we really need.
Just forming the intention tojust release all emotional or
energetic residue from the pastyear that isn't part of our path
forward.
(49:58):
We're going to come back to thisas well in our meditation, but
if you need to spend a littlebit more time just releasing
anything that no longer servesyou, that isn't part of your
path forward, just know that youcan return to this anytime.
(50:21):
And we're going to step forwardnow using the same method and
principles to set our intentionswith Reiki, ask it your soul.
for the next for the next part.
And so I'd like you to just takea moment, still with your heads
(50:44):
on your heart, giving yourselfReiki, just asking your soul to
step forward, your ego andpersonality to step aside, and
just ask yourself, what do Iwant?
(51:12):
And I'd like you to ask thatwith the caveat, or the
understanding that if there wereno limits, if there were no
limits on anything on financial,time, age, health, anything, if
there were no limits, what do Itruly want?
(51:34):
Go ahead and pick up your penonce more, and we're going to
ask our soul, what do I want?
And you're just going to beginwriting once again, and we're
going to write at least seven.
You're going to ask yourself,what do I want?
At least seven times.
(51:56):
We're going to spend a littlebit longer on this one, maybe as
much as four minutes.
What do I want?
(53:58):
Once again, you're just lettingyour pen flow.
Continue asking yourself, whatdo I want?
What does my soul want?
(55:55):
Now I'm just going to invite youto wrap up this question.
And we're going to do somethinga bit fun with this or not.
But we're going to go back toeach answer and you're just
going to write an S or an Ebeside it.
And you're going to ask, is thiswhat my soul wants?
(56:16):
Or is this what my ego andpersonality wants?
And so just go back and reviewand just write S beside
everything your soul wants.
and E beside everything thatyour ego wants.
(56:38):
Even though we ask the soul tolead, sometimes the ego will
override the soul, and we'rejust acknowledging that.
(57:21):
Sometimes you may need to writeboth soul and ego, and there's
nothing wrong with that.
(58:18):
You may have noticed somepatterns there.
I noticed that some things thatI thought my soul was asking
for, in fact, were my ego.
And some things I thought weremy ego were my soul.
For instance, who knew that mysoul wants good coffee?
That was the one that probablywas a surprise.
But I guess that's somethingthat my body and soul both
(58:41):
enjoy, is just that moment witha good cup of coffee every
morning.
So, that was pretty interesting.
We're going to go to the nextquestion.
And that is, we're just going tospend a few moments asking, what
(59:02):
are my next steps?
And so go ahead and write down,what are my next steps?
And we're going to do something.
We're going to go into somethingcalled mouse view.
We're going to do just a littlemeditation, just looking at what
your soul wants.
(59:25):
And just getting reallycomfortable with that and then
place your hands back on yourheart close your eyes And
sometimes we can get reallyoverwhelmed with what are the
(59:45):
next steps and what are the andwe can see we need to get there,
but we're here and how do I getthere?
And I was working with ColleenBenelli A few weeks ago, and she
gave me a wonderful tool.
This is a wonderful tool forpeople who think in
(01:00:06):
possibilities like I do.
I'm always aware of all of thepossibilities.
The field of possibilities isalways open to me, so I can see
just a million things that Iwould love to do at any given
ADHD.
But it's more than that.
It's just, it's a, just a loveof life and an optimism.
(01:00:27):
And so if you're a person thatcan get overwhelmed, like I can,
with how many possibilities andhow do I get from point A to
point B, what we're going to dois shrink down, to mouse view.
So this is something that we'retaught in shamanism, that when
we have a problem, sometimes werise up, and we imagine that
(01:00:51):
we're an eagle, and we haveeagle view, meaning we can see
all the, all around the problem.
We can see from the biggerpicture, the wider angle.
But in a way, when we asked whatour soul wants, that's where we
were.
We were in eagle vision, askingwhat our soul wanted.
Now I'm going to invite you tojust imagine that you're a
(01:01:14):
mouse.
You shrunk down to the size of amouse, and you can only see
what's right in front of you.
That's called mouse view.
So just take one of the thingsthat your soul wants, maybe
choose one of them.
And ask, ask yourself to just godown into mouse view, just
(01:01:43):
imagining that one thing youchose, going into mouse view
with that one item, and just askyourself, what are my next
steps?
to doing this.
Then you can go ahead and justpay attention and whenever it
feels right for you, you can goahead and pick up your pen once
(01:02:07):
more.
And you're probably not going tohave 14 steps from mouse view.
You'll have maybe one to threethings.
What are my next steps in orderto accomplish this?
(01:02:58):
I know when I go into mouseview, I usually just get one
thing, and if I go in and askfor something else, it just
says, Nope, just stick with thatone thing and do that, then come
back and we'll give you the nextstep.
And it's usually something verysimple, very achievable.
(01:03:26):
So just go ahead and write downwhatever you received.
And there's a few more thingsthat we can do, a few practical
things with Reiki.
We can actually write down ourintentions as affirmations.
We can write them down and addthem to our Reiki grid, or if
(01:03:49):
you have a Reiki bowl, you orbox, you can add these steps,
these intentions to those.
And then you just use Reiki andthe Reiki symbols to go ahead
and energize the intentions,what your soul wants, and you
(01:04:10):
won't fail.
You can't fail.
It's your soul led purpose.
And so from here, everyone,hopefully I haven't gone too
fast for anyone.
I probably have, but hopefullynot way too fast.
(01:04:31):
We're going to move into aguided meditation, which aligns
us with the flow of creation sothat we can use Reiki, use the
flow, use our soul purpose, oursoul, having our soul leading,
and just allow that to align uswith our personal and global
(01:04:56):
goals.
for 2025.
Oh, I just see a note in thechat that it's period nine in
Feng Shui just now.
That's very cool.
(01:05:17):
Okay.
Guys, we're going to now moveinto phase two of our share
today, which is just using Reikionce more to reflect on the past
year and just align with ourintentions to set powerful
(01:05:37):
intentions for the year ahead.
And this will help connect uswith the flow of creation and it
should also help us move into2025 with confidence, clarity,
purpose.
So I'm just going to invite youto make yourselves really
comfortable.
Close your eyes and take a fewdeep breaths, activate Reiki,
(01:06:04):
place your hands comfortably onyour body, wherever you feel
guided and breathe.
And just allowing yourself tosettle in this moment.
(01:06:24):
Setting an intention to stepinto the great remembering,
where you remember your soul'spurpose, what your soul came
here for, even if it's notperfectly clear to you tonight,
the process has begun and itwill become more and more clear
(01:06:49):
in time.
It will keep working away.
In your quiet time, in your downtime, even when you're busy
doing other things.
And you'll start to have moreand more awareness around it.
So I'd just like you to breathein and just imagine focusing
your energy on the bottoms ofyour feet.
(01:07:10):
And then just imagine yourintent, your attention, your
focus.
moving down into the earth likethe roots of a tree, going all
the way down to the groundwaterunderneath you all the way
through the soil into thegroundwater and then to the
(01:07:32):
bottom of that into all the wayto the bedrock and just feeling
yourself very stable andgrounded from this place of
stability.
This is where we can anchor ormanifest these higher energies
into our daily lives.
(01:07:53):
So just go ahead and place yourconsciousness there, just
remembering that we're allmostly made of water.
And by connecting with thegroundwater in any place,
sometimes you have to go quitedeep to get to it, depending on
where you are.
(01:08:14):
You actually connect with thatland, with the energy, water,
the life giving water of thatland and connecting with that
can cause the water within us,and we're more than 70 percent
(01:08:36):
water, can cause our watermolecules to align, can make you
feel very stable at home.
Anytime you travel, it's a greatidea to do this.
And so as these roots anchoryou, connecting you to the
(01:08:56):
nurturing energy of the earth,on every exhale, I'm going to
invite you to release yourbreath.
Anything from the last year thatno longer serves you, any
stress, fear, doubt, anything onyour list at all.
And just allow the water and theearth to absorb and transform
(01:09:18):
this energy into somethingreally positive.
And we're just going to staythere for several moments,
breathing at least 12 breathstogether for this release.
(01:11:39):
Now imagine the beautiful lightof Reiki descending from the
heavens, flowing into your body,cleansing and renewing you, just
washing away any heaviness,leaving you clear and open and
filling any space that's leftbehind with the beautiful light
(01:12:03):
of Reiki.
(01:13:46):
Now bring your awareness to yourheart.
Just notice a spark of lightglowing in your heart space.
This is the divine spark ofcreation within you.
This is the spark of creationthat became self aware when you
(01:14:07):
decided to incarnate here on theplanet.
And with each breath, I inviteyou to notice and see this light
growing brighter.
Until it fills your entire bodywith warmth and light and
possibility.
(01:15:26):
Now imagine this light withinyou is extending outward now,
connecting you with the flow ofcreation, a vast river of energy
that moves through all life, allthat is.
Feel yourself moving intoalignment with this flow where
your desires and the universe'sabundance converge and come
(01:15:51):
together as one.
And we'll breathe here, justallowing you to connect with
that flow, that flow ofcreation.
(01:18:00):
I invite you to consider one ofyour soul led intentions for the
year ahead.
It could be a personal goal, ora feeling you would like to
embody, or a way that you wantto contribute to the world.
Just see this intention as aseed.
in your hand.
And just notice that seed isglowing with Reiki energy.
(01:18:27):
And as you hold this seed, justimagine it being planted or
visualize it being planted inthe fertile soil of the
universe.
See it being nurtured by theelements, earth for stability,
water for flow, air for clarity,and fire for passion.
(01:18:52):
And just moving into a place oftrust that seed is going to grow
in perfect timing, supported bya combination of your commitment
and Reiki's guidance.
If you have any other seeds thatyou wish to plant, you can go
(01:19:14):
ahead and do that now as well.
I'd like you to expand yourfocus outward, just imagining
the collective energy ofhumanity aligning with harmony,
peace, and love, and just form avisual in your mind of what that
(01:19:40):
would look like, just everybodygetting along.
Let's send Reiki together.
to these global intentions andany others that you may have.
And just picturing them as wavesof Reiki light spreading around
(01:20:01):
the earth.
And just understand and knowthat as you nurture your own
intentions, you're alsocontributing to the greatest
good.
So let's just allow ourcollective attention to focus
now on the lighting.
(01:20:23):
The collective energy ofhumanity with harmony, peace,
and love, just imagining thosewaves of Reiki spreading out
from our hearts all over theplanet today, especially in
(01:20:46):
areas that are experiencing warand strife and trouble.
(01:22:21):
In closing today, I just inviteyou to take a deep breath.
Bring your awareness to youreyes and back to your
surroundings.
I like to wiggle your fingersand toes and whenever you're
ready, just open your eyes.
(01:22:44):
Take a moment to say thank youto you for taking this time for
reflection and creation.
And we also thank Reiki and oursouls for working together to
guide us tonight.
I invite you to bring thisbeautiful energy and these
(01:23:06):
intentions forward with you asyou step into this beautiful
nine universal year.
I hope you know how loved andsupported you are by our
wonderful Reiki community.
And how much I appreciate you,how much the universe
(01:23:30):
appreciates you.
Thank you for being the lightthat you are in the world today.
Namaste.
Hi and welcome to the Reiki from the Farm podcast
brought to you by me, Pam AllenLeBlanc from Hidden Brook Farm.
I am a scientist, abusinesswoman, and a licensed
Reiki master teacher with theInternational Center for Reiki
Training.
Each week in this podcast you'llbe entertained as you learn
about a wide variety of relevantReiki topics, helping you become
(00:30):
a more knowledgeable andeffective Reiki practitioner.
We caution you though, thispodcast may also dramatically
improve your life, and we are sohappy that you're here.
(00:55):
Welcome to this month's Reikishare and this week's podcast.
I hope you'll excuse my voice,my daughter.
We're brought a cold home forChristmas, and it's worked its
way through all of us.
I'm super excited about ourReiki share and our podcast,
though, this month.
And the reason is that we'regoing to be talking about
(01:17):
manifesting, setting powerfulintentions for 2025 and how to
manifest those, or using Reikito not only to help manifest
them, but also to help set theintentions.
Because so often with our peoplemake New Year's resolutions, and
we make New Year's resolutionsbased on our ego, usually, like
(01:40):
what the ego wants, what themind wants.
And so what we're going to bedoing tonight is going to be, I
think, fun.
And that's just tapping in alittle deeper to the soul level.
And find out what the soul wantsfor 2025, and there's a lot of
reasons for it, but 2025 isgoing to be a very big year of
(02:02):
change, and 2024 was already abig year of change.
2026 is when it all comestogether, but we're really
stepping into that new paradigmthat I've been talking about for
quite a while, so I'm so gladthat you're all here.
Before we get too far in,though, I just would like to let
you know about some of theclasses we have coming up in
(02:25):
January and February.
The weekend of the 25th and 26this a Reiki Level 1 and 2 class,
and of course, any of you canreview that class if you've
already studied it with me.
You can always review it forhalf the class.
price or half fee if you wouldlike.
Through the week or actuallyit's two, it's Friday evening,
(02:46):
Saturday, Sunday, and Mondayevening, there's a Reiki master
class, January 31st to February3rd, and these are all licensed
classes with the ICRT, whichmeans that you qualify for
professional membership in theReiki Membership Association
when you study those two levelswith a licensed teacher.
(03:08):
And some people like to comeback and review their courses
with a licensed teacher just tobring it up to that level.
I'm also teaching a Kaurna Reikimasterclass January 27th to the
30th.
That's four evenings through theweek, and it'll be mornings in
Australia and in Asia.
And I'd love to have you join usif that speaks to you.
(03:31):
Kaurna Reiki really is.
is a very advanced Reiki masterclass.
You can study that after you'vebeen a Reiki master for at least
six months.
And it really does take thingsto the next level.
So if that's something thatyou're considering, that might
be a really good time to joinus.
(03:52):
February 8th and 9th is myAnimal Reiki level one and two
class.
That's a weekend class.
And the following and thenFebruary 10th to 13th is an
Animal Reiki Masterclass, andthat's the evenings through the
week.
And I'm going to try that formatto just make the classes more
(04:12):
available to our Australianstudents, the Masterclasses, and
the Asian students.
And so hopefully that will beThat will be helpful.
And also a lot of people areinterested in the animal
communication for Reikipractitioners class.
I won't be offering it againuntil late next fall, but I am
(04:33):
offering a level one and twointroductory workshop February
15th and 16th, and that's onlinein the Eastern Time Zone.
These classes are all online.
This time around, in April,we'll do some in person classes.
I'll be doing the Level 3Professional Practitioner
Workshop on February 17th, andthat's a long weekend for us
(04:55):
here in North America, so it'sPresident's Day in the U.
S., and it's actually Family Dayhere in parts of Canada.
And then I'll be doing theAnimal Communication Master
Teacher for the first timeFebruary 18th to 20th, and
that's for three evenings justfollowing these two classes.
(05:18):
So I am really excited that theenergy has finally shown me a
way forward so that other peoplecan start teaching the animal
communication work.
And so if that speaks to you,the prerequisites are level one
and two and level three and atleast a master level.
(05:38):
With Reiki.
You see we master level withReiki and would love to have
more and more people out thereteaching our system of animal
communication because peopletell me that it's just so very
helpful.
Also coming up is HealthcareReiki.
Tracy Sullivan and I have beenworking on a new course.
(05:59):
We've been listening to theenergy.
It's Blowing us away, a littlebit, to put it mildly and it's
Reiki, it's a formal program foroffering Reiki in healthcare
settings, including hospitals,nursing homes, hospice, massage
therapy and naturopathy areasand just any healthcare care.
(06:23):
area that you can think ofpretty much even animals as
well.
It does it does apply toanimals.
There is a formal class set upApril 30th and May 1st.
Tracy and I will be teaching itin person in at Silver Bay, New
York at the Northeast ReikiRetreat, but we also will teach
(06:44):
an online class prior to thateither.
the weekend before or at somepoint in February.
That pilot class hasn't beendetermined yet but please reach
out if you'd like to be put onthe list to be invited.
We're just going to invite asmall number of people to that
class.
And we'd love to have you joinus as well for the Northeast
(07:06):
Reiki Retreat, even if you don'tjoin the class, we will be
talking about health care Reikiduring the retreat and giving
people an experience with it.
So that will be fun.
We'd love to have you join us.
Now before we get too far intoit, I'm also going to, if you
have Reiki, I'm just going toinvite you to bring your hands
(07:26):
in Gassho, and even if youdon't, you can go ahead and
bring your hands in Gassho, andall of our Reiki energy will
flow around you.
And just think of the symbolsthat you would like to invite to
join you today and just invitethem in one by one.
(07:54):
This is an auspicious start toour year, to a very important
year, a nine universal year,which has tremendous
significance.
So just take your time, and ifyou like to draw the symbols
around you, you can do that aswell, and just go ahead and
(08:19):
allow the Reiki energy to beginto flow and all of the symbols
to join you.
Before we began this evening, wewere talking about how sometimes
(08:39):
Reiki blows things up thataren't in our best interest so
that we can move on to somethingelse.
And however 2024 treated you,whether it brought a lot of
significant endings, significantbeginnings, or even stagnation,
(09:03):
we just acknowledge that itdidn't.
Everything has a season, andthat we can't always be in the
full bloom of summer.
Sometimes we need to pause.
Reset.
In fact, if we were constantlyin a state of expansion, pretty
(09:25):
soon our foundation wouldcrumble because it wouldn't be
able to support that continuedexpansion.
So we acknowledge that we gothrough these phases of
expansion and contraction inorder to build our foundation
stronger and that they're just anatural part of the growth cycle
(09:52):
that every living beingexperiences.
Take a moment to look back onthe past year and just say thank
you to you, because you showedup.
(10:13):
When it was difficult, youshowed up.
When it was easy and effortless,you still showed up.
You showed up for yourself andfor others.
So just take a moment toappreciate you and that you're
here listening to the call, away shower, that rock for your
(10:42):
family.
And whatever you do for work,and just acknowledge that you
are that way shower.
You are that person for yourpeers that lives in a way that
(11:05):
shows them change is possibleand positive.
And just take a moment torelease any things sticky and
stuck from the past year.
We're going to do that moreformally, but let's just begin.
(11:32):
You can even do a Kenyoku withyour right hand at your left
shoulder, sweep down to yourright hip, and then left hand to
right shoulder, down to yourright hip, and once more, left
shoulder to right hip, and leftshoulder out to the tips of your
fingers, shoulder out to thetips, and left again.
(11:55):
And just give the energy afling, and we're going to leave
that energy back in 2024.
It no longer encumbers us.
As we take a step forward intothis glorious new year, 2025,
(12:22):
take a moment to ask your egoand personality to step aside
and let your inner self knowthat today we'd like to make
decisions from our soul space.
And we'd like the ego to juststep aside and personality and
to not be part of the decisionmaking process.
(12:45):
It can come back in when it'stime to implement the decisions.
But for right now, we ask themto stand to the side so that our
soul can work with Reiki goingforward.
We can listen with Reiki,hearing the parts of this
(13:05):
podcast and this share that arethe most important for us.
Thank you.
Namaste.
(13:29):
So guys, in this podcast andthis Reiki share, I want to
welcome you and just talk aboutthe possibility of setting our
New Year's intentions with Reikiand with our soul, and so that
it can align with our soul'spurpose, not our ego, not our
(13:51):
personality, the soul.
And that's why we asked the egoand personality to step to the
side.
And I'd like to let you know alittle bit about 2024, 2025, why
they were the way they were.
There's an astrologer that Ifollow named Elizabeth Peru out
(14:12):
of Australia, and she has areally neat numerology guide.
I'd like to share a little bitof her work.
What she says with you, shetalks about the fact that 2024
was the eight universal year.
(14:33):
And so it was challenging in theextreme, physically demanding,
and exceptionally grossinducing.
And I don't know about you guys,but with everything that I
experienced on the campaigntrail, I'm still nursing an
injured knee.
That is absolutely.
bang on.
And 2024 was the first time in45 years that an eight universal
(15:00):
year happened alongside of asolar maximum, which is the peak
of the sun's, cycle.
So it was a year of preparationand self initiation.
And she talks about howchallenging that was for the
people, the souls that are hereto help support and uplift
(15:24):
humanity during our transitioninto the Aquarian Astrological
Age.
And if you're here with me,you're I believe that you're one
of those souls, and so you mayhave found 2024 to be very
challenging.
Elizabeth talks about the factthat the tests we experienced in
(15:46):
2024 were designed to help usgauge and apply what we had
learned about ourselves in 2023,which was a year of soul
searching, and it was deeplyinternal.
It was a self study.
seven universal year.
And when I talk about eight,seven, nine universal years,
what that means is that actuallyuses the science of numerology,
(16:09):
where you actually take thenumbers to 2024, and you add two
plus two plus four, two pluszero plus two plus four to come
up with the eight universalyear.
And this does seem uncannily tohave some impact.
As well as astrology on howthings play out throughout the
(16:32):
year.
So 2023 was about getting toknow ourselves on an authentic
soul level.
2024 was the year of growth andchallenges, and so we had to
confront our inner paradigms wehad to The inner retreat became
(16:53):
a normal thing that we had tostart doing to try to, just to
try to figure it all out.
And, It was, and all while justcontinuing the momentum of
living life, so it was she callsit a prerequisite to having a
strong spiritual connection andone that anchors you in love.
Now 2025 is a little different,a lot different.
(17:19):
It's a nine universal year.
What 2025 is the year of theempowered soul.
So what that means is that we'reconcluding any lessons from the
foundations we set way, way backin 2017.
So if you think about 2017 andjust consider What were you
(17:41):
doing in 2017?
In 2017 for me, I was gettingready for my first child to go
to university and, the kids werestill young, they were still
here in school.
What was happening for you then?
That was the one universal yearwhere profound embodied wisdom
(18:01):
came.
And this might seem a year ofconclusions and revelation and
head into heart integration onthe higher planes of knowing and
personal enlightenment.
It's also what she calls a yearof soul embodiment.
So what we're working on or whatwe're trying to gain in 2025 is
(18:26):
to apply the wisdom we gainedthrough 2024 to elevate our
human life so it's moremeaningful and fulfilling.
Because of that awareness, wecan actually shift so that the
soul is the one that directs ourdaily activities instead of the
(18:47):
ego and personality, whichtypically are the ones that are
in charge, maybe not ofeverything, but of our daily
activities.
So we're actually shifting sothat the soul is not only in
charge of our soul's path, oursoul's journey, but it's even
getting into the minutiae ofwhat we do every day.
So this year is a year thatwe're going to be creating new
(19:09):
life patterns and I don't knowabout you guys But my husband
and I both independentlyDiscovered that we had each
downloaded a habit trackerdifferent ones just to try to
develop some new more effectivepatterns For what and habits for
what we're trying to create Andit's also a year to just
(19:34):
consider all the growth that wehave accomplished and achieved.
So in order to do all of this,it is going to be important to
become a little bit more awareof the reason that we want to
lead a soul led life and whereour soul wants to be going.
(19:59):
And then that's going to reallyhelp power us and empower us
throughout the year.
Our presence.
Our empowered soul presencebeing able to live from that
space has the potential touplift all of humanity.
And that's at a time when itdoesn't always feel very
(20:22):
uplifted.
So we have an opportunity to dothat.
A couple of things, a couple ofthemes.
And in this nine universal year,the feminine aspect of nature
comes to the forefront.
We've been noticing in sessions,not just myself, a lot of people
have been noticing the divinefeminine coming in to be healed
(20:43):
and healing all the way backthrough the mother line.
We talked about that a littlebit last month.
And so that's great.
That's been coming and that'swhy.
Whereas 2024 was more around themasculine principle of right
action, Elizabeth says 2025represents the intuitive
(21:04):
feminine principle of rightknowing.
And so we're going to be able totrust our knowing on a deeper
level than ever before.
We're also going to begin.
wrapping up and making peacewith the actions that have been
set in motion by humanity overthe past nine years.
(21:27):
And those actions have broughtabout a lot of challenge and
opportunity both collectively,personally.
So there might be some sadnessthat comes up as a result of
this.
That often is sadness brings usto a place of compassion and
that's going to be veryimportant going forward.
It's okay to allow thosefeelings to come up, to allow
(21:51):
them to occur in all of theirintensity because we're going to
be energetically cleansing andclearing throughout 2025,
getting ready for heightenedsoul clarity.
and more aligned or wiser forthe life path to unfold.
This is a way and it's funnybecause I've never heard the
(22:11):
term way shower and startedusing it and here I see she's
using the term and I heardsomebody else using the term.
So it's just a word that'scoming through I think.
This is a year where way showersare going to rise and they're
going to feel the call to invokeharmony.
This is the year of theempowered.
(22:31):
Soul.
We'll be getting constantinformation of and energy,
constant streams of higherlight, higher consciousness,
allowing our connection with thesoul and the soul plane to
direct all of our activities,our human actions.
It's a year where our level ofawareness.
(22:52):
in the higher planes trulybegins to influence our physical
life so that we're acting inwhat she calls an empowered soul
driven way.
So that's just a little bitabout what's happening and what
the difference of what we'venoticed in 2024 and 2025.
In 2025 we've got a fewastrological things to note as
(23:18):
well.
We've got Oh, and just somethingelse, just about the nine
universal year, the number nineis about completion,
humanitarianism, and it's theconclusion of a cycle before a
new beginning.
So again, we're just going to bereflecting on the past,
(23:39):
releasing what no longer servesus and getting ready or
preparing for the future.
And then just a few things tokeep in mind for 2025
astrologically, we've got aVenus retrograde, and Venus, of
course, is the planet of love,beauty, and values, and it's
retrograde, will retrogradethrough Aries and Pisces March
(24:00):
1st to April 12th, and that'llbe encouraging us to be
introspective in relationships,creativity, and finances, and to
reassess, our personalaspirations and relationships.
We also have Pluto transitinginto Aquarius in 2025, and that
(24:23):
is that beginning of thatAquarian age that everybody's
been talking about.
So this is a big shiftsignificant changes are coming
for the next two decades, andit's just going to impact
everything.
And then we have a Uranusretrograde, where Uranus starts
in Taurus and moves into Gemini.
(24:45):
And this is going to give us anopportunity to just evaluate and
liberate ourselves from anythingrestrictive, any situations,
especially finances, materialthings.
And it's going to really help usreassess things and move into a
space of personal freedom.
(25:06):
So we've got a lot to lookforward to coming into 2025.
And so with that in mind, I hopeeverybody has a journal, like I
guess I did mention that in theReiki share, but those who are
listening, if you want to pauseand just grab something to write
(25:28):
with, we're going to usesomething called automatic
writing today, and I'm going tojoin you.
I need to do this just as muchas all of the rest of you.
We're going to do somethingcalled automatic writing in
order to.
Do start with a little bit of areflection on last year, on the
(25:48):
past year, and then we're goingto be moving into having our
soul help us set our intentionsfor the coming year.
And it's really important to usereflection.
Before setting new intentions, Ithink it's really important to
(26:08):
just see where you've grown.
And also, when you look back, alot of times you find that what
originally might have seemednegative or it might have seemed
negative when you went throughit, it was actually a period of
growth.
So I know personally, I lookback at the election and I've
talked to you guys about thisand thought, Oh my gosh, talk
(26:30):
about accelerating growth.
I learned so much.
Even though it was really hardat times and it just kept
pushing me constantly out of mycomfort zone.
I want us to start and we'regoing to spend just about two or
three minutes.
And so just grab your journaland work.
And I put a journal beside.
(26:52):
You with a pen.
And the first thing, the firstprompt that I'd like you to
write down is, what were mybiggest lessons in 2024?
So I'll just give you a minuteto write that down.
What were my biggest lessons in2024?
(27:20):
And by taking the time toreflect it allows us to build
going forward and go forward onthe foundation that we've
already created rather than in,in another direction per se, or
if we're going in anotherdirection to make use of the
foundation.
So again, that's what were mybiggest lessons in 2024.
(27:45):
And if any of you are new toautomatic writing, What I'm
going to do is just invite youto just start writing and if
nothing comes, and just writewhatever comes to your mind
without editing it, withouttrying to make it look pretty or
good or anything.
You may not even be able to readyour writing afterwards, that's
okay.
So we're going to just place ourhand on our heart, we're going
(28:09):
to ask our soul to lead alongwith Reiki.
And just show us what ourbiggest lessons were in 2024,
and if nothing comes to you,it's okay to just make your pen
swirl and make squiggles untilsomething comes through, and you
may do this with a degree ofawareness, you may be not at all
(28:32):
aware as you write, but justallow yourself to write for the
next two to three minuteswithout any thought, just
writing the first thing thatcomes down, even if it's
gobbledygook, it doesn't makeany sense.
So go ahead and begin, and I'llset a timer for us.
(28:59):
What were my biggest lessons in2024?
(31:46):
And there's just about 10seconds left.
So just go ahead and wrap up.
And now we're going to go to oursecond question around 2024.
(32:12):
And that question is, whatmoments brought me the most joy
and fulfillment?
Or what brought me the most joy?
and Fulfillment.
So just go ahead and wrap upthat question if you could.
(35:06):
If you need a bit more time youcan always come back to it
later.
I'm going to move on to our lastquestion around 2024 and that is
(35:28):
what am I ready to release as Imove forward as I move into
2025?
What am I ready to release?
I'll just give you a few minutesto write that down.
(35:50):
What am I ready to release as Imove forward?
And we're just going to go aheadand take two or three minutes
with that question, justautomatically answering it,
asking our soul to lead.
(39:00):
Let's take your time wrapping upthis question.
And I invite you, once it'swrapped up, to just go ahead and
place your hands back on yourheart.
(39:23):
And just use a mantra thatWilliam suggests we use every
day.
Please guide me and heal me, sothat I may be of greater service
to myself and to others.
And I'd like to let you knowthat you can follow up.
(39:43):
With this reflection, eitherwith a Gassho meditation, just
bringing your hands into Gasshowith the palms together, the
fingers pointing up, the thumbsat the heart.
And the Gassho meditation iswhat Yasui Sensei, the founder
of Reiki, calls the first pillarof Reiki.
(40:05):
And it's just spending timefocusing your attention on the
space between your palms.
So you could read through yournotes, and we're just going to
spend a moment or two in Gasshoright now.
Just allowing some of therevelations, information to
integrate, and even justallowing the thoughts to process
(40:29):
a little bit more, guided byReiki.
And this is one way that you cancontinue the integration and the
work in this direction.
And so we'll just spend abouttwo minutes here today.
(42:34):
When our souls came to Earth,they went through a process
called the Great Forgetting.
where we forgot how limitless weare.
We forgot our potential, thatwe're capable of anything.
We often forgot our lifepurposes and why we chose the
(42:57):
specific challenges that we did.
I believe humanity is ready, andyou are the way showers, to go
through a process that camethrough in a session today
called The Great Remembering.
(43:19):
Where our souls remember whatthey came here for.
They remember that they'relimitless, full of potential.
And in fact, one friend has atheory, and it rings very true,
that some of the new souls aregoing to come in remembering,
(43:43):
not having gone through theprocess of the Great Forgetting.
So today we begin this processof the great remembering,
allowing our soul to lead,understanding what we're here
for, ready to live from ourauthentic self.
(44:05):
You can go ahead and come back,and if anything showed up for
you that you didn't already makea note of that you'd like to
take a moment to jot down, youcan go ahead and do that now.
And this helps us have a look at2024, and, what our lessons
(44:31):
were, what brought us joy, andwhat we're ready to release.
Another way that you cancontinue or further this work is
something called a walkingmeditation, which I do most
every morning as I walk thedogs.
I activate Reiki in my palms.
(44:54):
I do a short self session, andthen I invite the symbols to be
with me for the entire day.
And I walk with intention,sometimes making Reiki trails,
sometimes not.
But I walk with intention, justallowing Reiki to guide me as I
(45:17):
step into nature.
We're very fortunate that wehave enough land we can walk the
dogs off leash on our propertyand they really enjoy it.
And so I'm really able to justenjoy the woods and just listen
for guidance.
(45:37):
The information that comes in, Ioften start with that same
message.
Please guide me and heal me sothat I may be of greater service
to myself and others.
And then as I walk, I call thatmy walking Reiki meditation.
When we look back on 2024, weoften have a tendency to focus
on the negative.
(45:59):
And what you probably noticedwith this exercise, is that
Reiki and being intentional canactually help us break that
cycle and realize that evensomething that perhaps seemed
(46:20):
negative or felt negative has alot of positive to it.
I know certainly those were someof my messages, which was, you
wounding, but Even some of thethings that I felt were negative
(46:41):
as I wrote them, I realized, Oh,they weren't that negative at
all.
They were really positive.
One of the things we're aware ofis that Reiki can help us
release, any emotional orenergetic residue from the last
past year.
For instance, let's, I'm goingto invite you to join me right
(47:05):
now, just placing your hands onyour heart and just inviting
Reiki to come into your aura,your body, your chakras,
anywhere that your mind, youremotions, even into your soul,
the soul can have parts ofitself that are injured or
damaged.
(47:30):
And we just invite this Reikienergy Whatever symbols you want
to just dissolve, anything heavyor stagnant, anything that has
run its course and that you'redone with, and just leaving us
with a clean slate ready for newpossibilities.
(47:51):
And once again, we're just gonnaspend a few minutes here.
That's all it really.
That's all we really need.
Just forming the intention tojust release all emotional or
energetic residue from the pastyear that isn't part of our path
forward.
(49:58):
We're going to come back to thisas well in our meditation, but
if you need to spend a littlebit more time just releasing
anything that no longer servesyou, that isn't part of your
path forward, just know that youcan return to this anytime.
(50:21):
And we're going to step forwardnow using the same method and
principles to set our intentionswith Reiki, ask it your soul.
for the next for the next part.
And so I'd like you to just takea moment, still with your heads
(50:44):
on your heart, giving yourselfReiki, just asking your soul to
step forward, your ego andpersonality to step aside, and
just ask yourself, what do Iwant?
(51:12):
And I'd like you to ask thatwith the caveat, or the
understanding that if there wereno limits, if there were no
limits on anything on financial,time, age, health, anything, if
there were no limits, what do Itruly want?
(51:34):
Go ahead and pick up your penonce more, and we're going to
ask our soul, what do I want?
And you're just going to beginwriting once again, and we're
going to write at least seven.
You're going to ask yourself,what do I want?
At least seven times.
(51:56):
We're going to spend a littlebit longer on this one, maybe as
much as four minutes.
What do I want?
(53:58):
Once again, you're just lettingyour pen flow.
Continue asking yourself, whatdo I want?
What does my soul want?
(55:55):
Now I'm just going to invite youto wrap up this question.
And we're going to do somethinga bit fun with this or not.
But we're going to go back toeach answer and you're just
going to write an S or an Ebeside it.
And you're going to ask, is thiswhat my soul wants?
(56:16):
Or is this what my ego andpersonality wants?
And so just go back and reviewand just write S beside
everything your soul wants.
and E beside everything thatyour ego wants.
(56:38):
Even though we ask the soul tolead, sometimes the ego will
override the soul, and we'rejust acknowledging that.
(57:21):
Sometimes you may need to writeboth soul and ego, and there's
nothing wrong with that.
(58:18):
You may have noticed somepatterns there.
I noticed that some things thatI thought my soul was asking
for, in fact, were my ego.
And some things I thought weremy ego were my soul.
For instance, who knew that mysoul wants good coffee?
That was the one that probablywas a surprise.
But I guess that's somethingthat my body and soul both
(58:41):
enjoy, is just that moment witha good cup of coffee every
morning.
So, that was pretty interesting.
We're going to go to the nextquestion.
And that is, we're just going tospend a few moments asking, what
(59:02):
are my next steps?
And so go ahead and write down,what are my next steps?
And we're going to do something.
We're going to go into somethingcalled mouse view.
We're going to do just a littlemeditation, just looking at what
your soul wants.
(59:25):
And just getting reallycomfortable with that and then
place your hands back on yourheart close your eyes And
sometimes we can get reallyoverwhelmed with what are the
(59:45):
next steps and what are the andwe can see we need to get there,
but we're here and how do I getthere?
And I was working with ColleenBenelli A few weeks ago, and she
gave me a wonderful tool.
This is a wonderful tool forpeople who think in
(01:00:06):
possibilities like I do.
I'm always aware of all of thepossibilities.
The field of possibilities isalways open to me, so I can see
just a million things that Iwould love to do at any given
ADHD.
But it's more than that.
It's just, it's a, just a loveof life and an optimism.
(01:00:27):
And so if you're a person thatcan get overwhelmed, like I can,
with how many possibilities andhow do I get from point A to
point B, what we're going to dois shrink down, to mouse view.
So this is something that we'retaught in shamanism, that when
we have a problem, sometimes werise up, and we imagine that
(01:00:51):
we're an eagle, and we haveeagle view, meaning we can see
all the, all around the problem.
We can see from the biggerpicture, the wider angle.
But in a way, when we asked whatour soul wants, that's where we
were.
We were in eagle vision, askingwhat our soul wanted.
Now I'm going to invite you tojust imagine that you're a
(01:01:14):
mouse.
You shrunk down to the size of amouse, and you can only see
what's right in front of you.
That's called mouse view.
So just take one of the thingsthat your soul wants, maybe
choose one of them.
And ask, ask yourself to just godown into mouse view, just
(01:01:43):
imagining that one thing youchose, going into mouse view
with that one item, and just askyourself, what are my next
steps?
to doing this.
Then you can go ahead and justpay attention and whenever it
feels right for you, you can goahead and pick up your pen once
(01:02:07):
more.
And you're probably not going tohave 14 steps from mouse view.
You'll have maybe one to threethings.
What are my next steps in orderto accomplish this?
(01:02:58):
I know when I go into mouseview, I usually just get one
thing, and if I go in and askfor something else, it just
says, Nope, just stick with thatone thing and do that, then come
back and we'll give you the nextstep.
And it's usually something verysimple, very achievable.
(01:03:26):
So just go ahead and write downwhatever you received.
And there's a few more thingsthat we can do, a few practical
things with Reiki.
We can actually write down ourintentions as affirmations.
We can write them down and addthem to our Reiki grid, or if
(01:03:49):
you have a Reiki bowl, you orbox, you can add these steps,
these intentions to those.
And then you just use Reiki andthe Reiki symbols to go ahead
and energize the intentions,what your soul wants, and you
(01:04:10):
won't fail.
You can't fail.
It's your soul led purpose.
And so from here, everyone,hopefully I haven't gone too
fast for anyone.
I probably have, but hopefullynot way too fast.
(01:04:31):
We're going to move into aguided meditation, which aligns
us with the flow of creation sothat we can use Reiki, use the
flow, use our soul purpose, oursoul, having our soul leading,
and just allow that to align uswith our personal and global
(01:04:56):
goals.
for 2025.
Oh, I just see a note in thechat that it's period nine in
Feng Shui just now.
That's very cool.
(01:05:17):
Okay.
Guys, we're going to now moveinto phase two of our share
today, which is just using Reikionce more to reflect on the past
year and just align with ourintentions to set powerful
(01:05:37):
intentions for the year ahead.
And this will help connect uswith the flow of creation and it
should also help us move into2025 with confidence, clarity,
purpose.
So I'm just going to invite youto make yourselves really
comfortable.
Close your eyes and take a fewdeep breaths, activate Reiki,
(01:06:04):
place your hands comfortably onyour body, wherever you feel
guided and breathe.
And just allowing yourself tosettle in this moment.
(01:06:24):
Setting an intention to stepinto the great remembering,
where you remember your soul'spurpose, what your soul came
here for, even if it's notperfectly clear to you tonight,
the process has begun and itwill become more and more clear
(01:06:49):
in time.
It will keep working away.
In your quiet time, in your downtime, even when you're busy
doing other things.
And you'll start to have moreand more awareness around it.
So I'd just like you to breathein and just imagine focusing
your energy on the bottoms ofyour feet.
(01:07:10):
And then just imagine yourintent, your attention, your
focus.
moving down into the earth likethe roots of a tree, going all
the way down to the groundwaterunderneath you all the way
through the soil into thegroundwater and then to the
(01:07:32):
bottom of that into all the wayto the bedrock and just feeling
yourself very stable andgrounded from this place of
stability.
This is where we can anchor ormanifest these higher energies
into our daily lives.
(01:07:53):
So just go ahead and place yourconsciousness there, just
remembering that we're allmostly made of water.
And by connecting with thegroundwater in any place,
sometimes you have to go quitedeep to get to it, depending on
where you are.
(01:08:14):
You actually connect with thatland, with the energy, water,
the life giving water of thatland and connecting with that
can cause the water within us,and we're more than 70 percent
(01:08:36):
water, can cause our watermolecules to align, can make you
feel very stable at home.
Anytime you travel, it's a greatidea to do this.
And so as these roots anchoryou, connecting you to the
(01:08:56):
nurturing energy of the earth,on every exhale, I'm going to
invite you to release yourbreath.
Anything from the last year thatno longer serves you, any
stress, fear, doubt, anything onyour list at all.
And just allow the water and theearth to absorb and transform
(01:09:18):
this energy into somethingreally positive.
And we're just going to staythere for several moments,
breathing at least 12 breathstogether for this release.
(01:11:39):
Now imagine the beautiful lightof Reiki descending from the
heavens, flowing into your body,cleansing and renewing you, just
washing away any heaviness,leaving you clear and open and
filling any space that's leftbehind with the beautiful light
(01:12:03):
of Reiki.
(01:13:46):
Now bring your awareness to yourheart.
Just notice a spark of lightglowing in your heart space.
This is the divine spark ofcreation within you.
This is the spark of creationthat became self aware when you
(01:14:07):
decided to incarnate here on theplanet.
And with each breath, I inviteyou to notice and see this light
growing brighter.
Until it fills your entire bodywith warmth and light and
possibility.
(01:15:26):
Now imagine this light withinyou is extending outward now,
connecting you with the flow ofcreation, a vast river of energy
that moves through all life, allthat is.
Feel yourself moving intoalignment with this flow where
your desires and the universe'sabundance converge and come
(01:15:51):
together as one.
And we'll breathe here, justallowing you to connect with
that flow, that flow ofcreation.
(01:18:00):
I invite you to consider one ofyour soul led intentions for the
year ahead.
It could be a personal goal, ora feeling you would like to
embody, or a way that you wantto contribute to the world.
Just see this intention as aseed.
in your hand.
And just notice that seed isglowing with Reiki energy.
(01:18:27):
And as you hold this seed, justimagine it being planted or
visualize it being planted inthe fertile soil of the
universe.
See it being nurtured by theelements, earth for stability,
water for flow, air for clarity,and fire for passion.
(01:18:52):
And just moving into a place oftrust that seed is going to grow
in perfect timing, supported bya combination of your commitment
and Reiki's guidance.
If you have any other seeds thatyou wish to plant, you can go
(01:19:14):
ahead and do that now as well.
I'd like you to expand yourfocus outward, just imagining
the collective energy ofhumanity aligning with harmony,
peace, and love, and just form avisual in your mind of what that
(01:19:40):
would look like, just everybodygetting along.
Let's send Reiki together.
to these global intentions andany others that you may have.
And just picturing them as wavesof Reiki light spreading around
(01:20:01):
the earth.
And just understand and knowthat as you nurture your own
intentions, you're alsocontributing to the greatest
good.
So let's just allow ourcollective attention to focus
now on the lighting.
(01:20:23):
The collective energy ofhumanity with harmony, peace,
and love, just imagining thosewaves of Reiki spreading out
from our hearts all over theplanet today, especially in
(01:20:46):
areas that are experiencing warand strife and trouble.
(01:22:21):
In closing today, I just inviteyou to take a deep breath.
Bring your awareness to youreyes and back to your
surroundings.
I like to wiggle your fingersand toes and whenever you're
ready, just open your eyes.
(01:22:44):
Take a moment to say thank youto you for taking this time for
reflection and creation.
And we also thank Reiki and oursouls for working together to
guide us tonight.
I invite you to bring thisbeautiful energy and these
(01:23:06):
intentions forward with you asyou step into this beautiful
nine universal year.
I hope you know how loved andsupported you are by our
wonderful Reiki community.
And how much I appreciate you,how much the universe
(01:23:30):
appreciates you.
Thank you for being the lightthat you are in the world today.
Namaste.
