A Brief History of My Spiritual Journey

Reiki Reverend

Here, I’ll be sharing some of the many experiences that have helped shape me into who I am today. 

I do so in hopes that some of you will resonate and choose to continue your spiritual paths no matter the struggle or hardship.

 


There is a great deal that has gone into my spiritual journey.

After a lot of thought, I felt that now was the time to share my journey with you.

As you could read alongside any of my profiles or service descriptions, I am a Healing Minister and Holistic Health, PhD with various psychic skills.

I am attuned and certified to practice and teach over 12 types of energy healing and complementary therapies to aid and assist on your healing journey.

This list includes, but is not limited to Angelic Reiki, Imara Reiki, Shamballa Multidimensional Healing, Maheo’o Reiki, Ama Deus Shamanic Healing, Blue Star Celestial Healing, Golden Triangle, and Karuna Ki.

I am also a certified Chakra Therapist, Hypnotherapist, Angel Therapist and Spiritual Life Coach.

How I received my certification could be considered fairly simple, I studied hard, did the work, and received the accompanying proof. 

How I reached the point in my journey where it became my calling to achieve all that you’ve seen above and more is the interesting part.

I’ve “known,” channeled, studied, and practiced various psychic and mystical arts from a very young age. I recall channeling renowned artists during my art classes, speakers, mentors, and poets for writing, and you can guess the rest.

Over the course of my young adulthood I would begin to study psionics and eventually witchcraft and the occult. During this time, and even a bit before, I started having many different revelations of different lives I had lived in the past.

It was piecing together these layers that would uncover what I was capable of during those lifetimes. In some cases, the techniques were recalled with great detail.

It would be my eventual pursuit, or even calling to remember as much as possible. Releasing karmic contracts and completing different goals from the memories of past lifetimes that had made their way into this present world.


During this pursuit, I would be lead to know spirit guides and beings of various backgrounds and Pantheons. Some in which I continue to work with through to this day.

I began communing with them in the various ways as they would interact with me. It was with their help that I was able to confirm the memories I was experiencing were indeed legitimate. Sometimes through quirky life experiences, other times the messages were more direct and less subtle.

While some of these spirits and other beings served as my guardians, other beings who met me presence could only best be described as negative entities who occasionally made legitimate attempts to harm me or those close to me in mind, body, and spirit.


After all, not many people want to get close to the guy who’s friends with angels, spirits, witches, deities, and demigods. All of which happen to coexist happily around my normal daily life to a certain degree, kept neatly to the realms of my mind. Though I do enjoy occasionally interacting with them vocally, and I would discredit myself to mention the times when I have vocalized for a spirit or being.

By this point, I had achieved such an open channel and comfort with my guides that it just sounded like I was talking to myself in different voices to anyone who didn’t understand.

When I reached my adulthood and have been ‘spirited away’ from college twice, I had no other good option left of me but to seek a military career, I enlisted in 2010. It would be my time in delayed enlistment from 2010-2011 that I would begin to think ill of myself and all I had been through over the years. I did my best to keep it all below the surface and dismiss any ‘foreign’ thoughts before entering the service.

You can imagine what it’s like to be a Warrior on two fronts, but only paying mind to the tangible one. I simply could not handle it after a while, almost as if I was being ripped apart to make a decision or have one made for me. I chose the latter in light of my stubborn nature.

Soon after my military career ended a long story and 4-month “vacation” later, I was left a shell of myself with no spiritual guidance and no will to walk the same path I had been.

I knew something had to change.


When I was able to find a place to stay, I studied Wicca formally within a local coven as a Dedicant while I SLOWLY opened myself back up to Spirit. I had studied psychology for quite some time in college prior to my service, and always wanted to help others develop spiritually, so I figured why not pursue Reiki.

I had already been attuned to Reiki before I enlisted and found the path to be a welcome means of stability with my spiritual lifestyle, away from the chaos of my past.

It would be a few years from that point on I would fully reopen my channel, but this time it was much different. Everything was a lot more intense and I had no desire to access the help I used to have.

After a while, I would find myself under psychic attack A LOT. I knew at that point I would have to remember everything, but this time re-purpose it, give it a better shape.

I had known a lot about fractals, fractal logic, and how they worked from my memories. After a bit of meditation, I began doing more of my spiritual exploration and expansion from within.

I removed a great deal of what kept me hindered by choosing to resonate on higher and higher frequencies. Ever-growing, ever changing, just like a fractal over time.

I realize now that at one point or another, perhaps even in this life at some point that I’ve yet to recall or reach (google casual loop), I manifested a great deal of that as a form of simulation to strengthen myself in a way I couldn’t normally. I thank my experience in the military for that way of thinking.


It would be fair to close at this point by summarizing what all I learned about myself during this time and my experiences.



I learned from experience that I can traverse the realms at will through astral projection. Learning was a simple process once I gave into the idea of not needing to ‘know’ how to get there, but simply BE there.

It is through my travels and intuitive guidance that I found my soul to have a very strong relation to the Greek Pantheon. My soul chooses to resonate most with the God Aesculapius, the Greek God of Medicine and a major component to many of my independent healing works.

Through communing with the Greek Gods, I learned that I am considered to hold domains within both time and space. This was confirmed to through various conflicts and hardships, as well as my understood and implemented solutions to said conflicts and hardships. 

Now, I’m able to scry into other people’s timelines and give readings from the Akashic Records to help sharpen my visions and insights.

My most notable skills, as you can probably assume by now, lie between energy manipulation and intuitive channeling. It’s with us from birth, I just chose to embrace it and ask fewer questions than most I suppose.

I trusted my intuition and spiritual guidance that continues to help me grow and learn even more daily. Now, I pray this story helps you do the same.

 

Love and Light



In the interest of healing, growth, and expansion in Love and Light, feel free to ask me any questions about my experiences below in the comments, and I’ll do my best to answer.

Spiritual Guidance

A Blog Series By:

Reiki Reverend, Ph.D.

I’ll be giving in-depth yet light-hearted spiritual guidance, spiritual counseling, and a way for you to enhance your spiritual awakening.

In This Article, I present to you a channeled written working…


On The Nature of Lightning

Lightning can be categorized as both a miracle in regards to its place in the evolution of our existence, or as the philosophical terror that creates instantaneous strife within one’s creative world.

Lightning must first be understood as neutral by its very nature to see the true fallacy within any such arguments. It simply IS. Neither choosing to exist as a valid force of creation or rage.

To channel such a force in the metaphorical sense, that is to say without the muse to generate electricity, one must seek a balance between both the wiles of Love and the will of Fear. A channel in this regard could be quite powerful.

You see, for the lover who chooses to wield a flower over a blade, may still fall victim to either poison or murder. The fearful who chooses to wield a blade to defend from assault, may still find themselves ill to the subterfuge of love. Inevitably, they will lower their blade in situational judgement.

However, a balanced force choosing to allow either title to be their suiter, can wield both.

Even the skies above and ground below know of such balance. Humidity or humility, temperature or temperament, clouds or confusion, radiation or frequency, magnetism or connection.

Not only are these key to the various elements within our existence, they are also key factors when it comes to the amazing force of nature that we have come to know as lightning.

Let it continue to flow and ebb within and without. Our culture, our lives, and our souls.

Spiritual Guidance – Taking One Step Back

Reiki Reverend, PhD - Spiritual Guidance, Energy Healing, and Psychic Services

Spiritual Guidance

A Blog Series By:

Reiki Reverend, Ph.D.

I’ll be giving in-depth yet light-hearted spiritual guidance, spiritual counseling, and a way for you to enhance your spiritual awakening.

In this article, we’ll be taking a step back. What do I mean? Read my story below.

Taking One Step Back

My goal today is the provide the help you need to achieve that next step on your personal paths to your higher purpose. Speaking of steps, that’s exactly what I want to talk about.

Steps.

Already, I have some people excited about that concept. “Alright, progress, moving forward all the time.”

After all, most of us perceive time as linear even if we don’t think about it consciously. We wake up in the morning expecting the rest of our day to fall in line from beginning to end. Sunrise to sunset, event to event.

That’s a fine way to look at things, but what if I told you that sometimes, things don’t always work out like that. Some people will automatically see where I’m going. I may have just lost everyone else, but that’s ok, isn’t it?

That’s the point.

Your day may have been going along rather smoothly before this point.

Or this point.

Or even this point.

Now you may be starting to question the way things are going to work within this blog.

I assure you that this is all going according to plan. Who’s plan is completely up to your intuition.

I woke up this morning, just like I have the past few days. Only to sit at my desk and wonder what I’m going to do with my day. You see, I’ve had a lot planned out these past days, and I’ve made a lot of changes to how I operate.

These rapid changes in my life seemed to be leading me to what I call, the next season of my epic TV series, that you all just happened to be a part of. I say it like this for a reason. You see, like all popular TV shows, there’s a protagonist or hero, and then there’s the antagonist or villain.

Sometimes, it’s as clear as that guy at the door who’s trying to keep you from entering your favorite restaurant. Other times, it can be far less clear.

A few weeks ago, I was drinking up to a whole pot of coffee a day, I was taking in a lot of nicotine from my e-cigarette, I was stressed, distressed, and just flat out a mess with my emotions. Even though I was thinking these things would help, time after time they just never seemed to work with me completely.

What changed for me you might ask? Reiki.

You see, up until the point of realizing my healing journey, I didn’t have a daily practice or study. I was pretty much just walking by the heels of my shoes, with my feet barely in, and I was waiting for my miracle to happen like a little kid waiting for Santa Claus.

I refused to accept personal accountability for some of the things that went on in my life, even though I was great at deflecting or rewriting a situation in my mind to suit what made me feel better about it.

As a result, my lifestyle seemed to remain in this flux where I secretly knew that things would only improve just long enough for my hope to be shattered before my eyes.

It wasn’t that I was a bad person, I walked in the light and all that comes with that. Every day wasn’t inherently bad for me, but my perception of the day is what would always torture me.

It’s this logic that I was always fighting a constant battle between myself and my inner demons, and the belief that their strength would eventually trump mine is what led me to a victim mentality and caused me to allow for my personal power to be whittled away.

Finally, it all caught up to me.

You see, while I was waiting for this miracle to happen, I wasn’t paying close attention to the abundance and wonder that was accumulating all around me. My son, who was attuned to Reiki while my significant other was pregnant and already developing to be a pretty hefty empath, had begun to understand himself more and more by the day.

My significant other was starting to make some big changes in her life and aiming higher and higher each day. Meanwhile, there I was, a hermit in a cave. I liked my cave for its ‘safety.’ I secretly knew that once I stuck my head out of that cave, it would be time for me to change as well. It would be about time for that next season to come.

I feared that next season so much because it meant that I would be a much larger blip on the radar. I couldn’t make the same childish mistakes of the past without facing some big consequences. I guess you could say that I have a Peter Pan complex, afraid to grow up and come into my own power.

Even then I knew that it would be necessary for me to work at my best and shed as many of my bad habits as I could.

That’s when I was called to begin teaching Reiki again. I knew that I was only at my best when I was practicing on a consistent basis and helping others. It’s like my blood would begin to run cold if I wasn’t helping others.

I had wanted for a long time to try working out a sliding scale to help people out who couldn’t afford the lessons or the sessions, but it was troublesome because I never felt as if I should be charging others.

Not for lack of self-worth, but for lack of desire. I just didn’t feel that Spirit wanted me to get compensation for my services at the time. The less than positive feedback from my associates only made the weight on my shoulders that much heavier.

I remember what happened next like a lucid dream. For the first time in over a month, I had finally lined up a 1-on-1 class with a good friend of mine who I’d been talking to about learning Reiki for about as long as I’d known him. Not even a day later, I had another 1-on-1 class lined up with someone else I was called to teach who I’d known for a while on Facebook.

These classes and the events to follow would come nothing short of fantastic.

That next week I had them both attuned to Reiki I and was proceeding with daily follow-up chats to make sure that they were receiving the attunement well and keeping up with their studies. In that same week, both mine and my significant other’s moms fell ill and ended up in the hospital. Another one of our friends was also making a trip to the hospital for surgery.

As I was called to work more on the infrastructure of my Facebook group I was also coming across a good number of requests for healing.

For the first time, I ran a distance Reiki session for multiple people at the same time. I would then go on to do several other distance sessions over that span of time. I would say that at one point in the week I was doing at least 2-3 a day for about 20-30 minutes at a time.

It would be shortly after that week that I began to feel odd. I had less control over my emotions than normal, and I felt my energy leaking right out of me. My thoughts all seemed to become negative, and before I could even fully process anything that was happening to me I knew I would need to assume the worst.

That for the first time in a long time, all of that negative energy that was being stored up in the corners of my mind had begun to flow freely. It had been revealed to me to help me heal more.

I knew that I had to take action, but I wasn’t confident that I could do it by myself. As I continued to find any source of light inside or outside of me to abate this sensation feeling like it wanted to engulf me, I reached out to whoever I could think of to help me.

Every time I started to reach out, I felt my mind splitting apart at the act, attempting to rip my hands back from the keyboard or phone. It had started to get worse and worse over time. After I had gotten the last message out, I felt in my heart that nobody would reach me in time.

I had to make a choice.

Either let this feeling wash over me and take me, or assume a meditative posture, lock my body up, and fight with every ounce of light I could muster up.

So I turned on my Himalayan salt lamp, put on some appropriate music to meditate to for the occasion, turned it all the way up to drown everything else out, and I went to work chanting the symbols and channeling Reiki in prayer.

I was in deep meditation for about an hour and a half before I would come back to my body. During that period of time, I experienced the greatest crucible I had ever faced.

So many times, I felt my mind and astral body being tossed around, ripped apart, smashed, burned, and much more. It was almost like the dark night of Siddhartha as he meditated under the bodhi tree.

Every set back made it harder and harder for me to will myself back together and continue. I felt like I was fighting a losing battle. That I had too much negativity in me to fight off. This was it, my last crusade. In my final moments of these thoughts, I felt the ascended masters and angels speaking to me.

“Stop fighting with your will, heal with your spirit!”

It was at that moment that I stopped feeling sorry for myself. I stopped thinking of this as a simple battle of brawn and I saw it for what it really was. My grand opportunity to heal myself on the deepest level I could fathom.

I called every ounce of light within me to my hands, every bright and happy moment of my life, every bit of hope and faith in my goals and aspirations, and that night I discovered depths of my capabilities with Reiki.

I channeled it not only into that darkness but to every corner of my mind that was still in pain, every memory that just needed some love and light to grow into something better.

When I came back, I wasn’t anywhere near the same. I felt completely healed on all levels. Over the course of the next few days, I would severely cut down on my caffeine and nicotine consumption, change my diet, and experience a deep reprogramming of my mind and thoughts.

By the end of this time, I would have cut out coffee altogether. I felt a sense of peace and serenity in my mind that seemed to be waiting within for the right moment to come out.

This is a recollection of events during one of my meditations:

“I was journeying to the furthest reaches I could take my astral journey when I first ran across it.

Vibrant streams of energy, huge and dense constructs that felt like other planets super far away, entities that could perform a perfect telepathic connection with such high vibrations (all of them).

We conversed for quite some time before I began to test the limits of my trance with this energy. I was able to move my body in ways I haven’t in years and function at a MUCH higher volume than I’ve ever been capable of.

There were a few odd things that happened though. The more I accepted this developing power within me as mine, the stronger the connection I became between my son and Twin Flame.

I was given the impression that any form of conflict that would occur on this level would not only affect me, but him, her, and even my blood family and ancestors as well. I was even warned quite a few times as the level of the connections slowly escalated to a peak.

The oddest thing that happened to me at that time was a technique called, “Understand.” Several of the entities I encountered used this technique on me. I was able to not only sense their power afterward but peer into ‘them.” Highlights of their existence, where they came from as well as their power and the distant extensions of it.

I would almost always come into a sense of apprehension eventually as if I had a choice to make about whether or not to accept or rebuke the energy. I only rebuked what felt like negative or harmful intent, and simply allowed the rest to be. Then something even odder happened.

After being exposed to this “Understand” technique so many times and allowing myself to exist at my highest potential (mainly to be prepared for anything to go bad), I noticed that I literally had no limits. I could most likely continue to tap my energies for as long as I needed to. Like I was connected to a deep source of unlimited energy.

After a good many times being tried with “Understand,” I began to get how it was being done and I began to exchange this technique with them. It almost seemed like they were trying to teach me after a while. Like they were helping me become more aware of my capabilities, but beware of other entities out there with similar capabilities.

Eventually, I felt it time to ground and come back, but I still feel like I’m a part of it now. Like there are aspects of me that have expanded into a much deeper pool of knowledge and capacity.”

After that, I began to accept and embrace my path in other ways as well. I meditated more and began to expand my consciousness, from the universe that we know to the multiverse that we only dream of.

I have since this time went back and learned more, but that journey is far from over.

This was my step forward.

It took a few weeks, maybe months, but I started to feel drained yet again. This time has been different. I had stopped drinking coffee, but I was slowly gauging up my tea consumption. I’ve felt stuck in a loop and run down. At first, I just thought that I was exerting too much energy during these meditations and that I needed to rest and recharge. After a while, I knew that it was more complicated than that.

Well, the easiest thing I can say is that I finally broke down. I finally made a pot of coffee. The hard part is to say that I needed to take a step back with a lot more than that so that I could move forward later.

At first, I felt a bit down, that I had to depend on something other than my own will to get my engines going. I didn’t see or understand what would come of it because I was too busy worrying about the broken promises, or the step back.

Looking at things now as I write/speak to you, I would say that I needed that step back in order to move forward.

I needed to take another look at myself and my ego and realize that my goals are too important to allow myself to be bogged down by the weight on one step back knowing that with that step back, I am now ready to take a giant leap forward.

This is something we all experience in life at times.

When you admit that you were wrong in an argument to heal from the experience. When you have to wait and pay for your car repairs so that you can finish your vacation or get to work. Even when you must reevaluate everything that you’ve ever thought was right in order to walk the path you’ve always needed to be on.

I’m here to tell you, that not only has it been done before, but it WILL be done again. By you, by your friends, by your family, by your neighbor.

And that’s OK.

Instead of coming from an inner/outer place of judgment when those times finally come, it’s important to have faith in the situation working out for the better.

Spiritual Guidance: A Lesson on Energy – A Means Past An End

Quantum-Energy-Spirit-Fractal

Spiritual Guidance – A Blog Series by: Reiki Reverend, Ph.D.

In-depth yet light-hearted spiritual guidance, general spiritual advice, and discussion based on different ways for you to enrich your spiritual awakening process.

A Lesson on Energy: A Means Past an End

The end, a plane of thought known only to some as the realm in which there is no more.

A place of being that consists of a checkered flag, a handshake, and you guessed it… even more. Sometimes that ‘more’ is a clear next step, other times it can lead to a metaphorical or physical wall. How can you learn to work with your willpower when you are unable to see the next step clearly? You transcend it.

You begin allowing your mind/body/spirit to become more. You train, discipline yourself to understand that no matter what happens to the body, the mind will continue in consciousness through the spirit. This is the core matter of energy.

Energy: Fuel for the fire

The inner fire that kicks up from within us and begins to bellow. Propelling our spirits, and inflating our lives with a bit of hot air and motivation.

This motivation comes from within.

The inner chamber of thought that allows for you to be at your best. Sometimes it takes us knowing about that, “bit more than we think that we have,” to achieve better results. As beings of Source (emanations of the Eagle, children of the Great Spirit, heir of your bloodline), we can do much more than what we allow ourselves to think. This is because we know deep within this realm of thought that we ARE HERE, and will continue to be.

That our powers for growth are limitless, and our consciousness must live on.

Energy: A Source of Power and Triumph

Without this simple guiding line, fueling our very cores from bones to air, our way of life would not exist.

Look within.

You hear that phrase a lot, but what does it really mean?

Well, from the perspective of energy it actually means a lot. We are constantly providing our bodies with energy by eating and even absorbing sunlight to a degree. We are using that energy in many different ways that commonly go unseen or unnoticed. Namely, our abilities to transform or transmute energy into different forms.

Commonly, this could be from solid to liquid or gas, but if you think of it from a different perspective, our abilities to transmute energy also affect our motivation.

With empathy, we are constantly receiving energy from the emotions of others. If we can safely transmute or digest that energy, then it becomes easier to manage. However, by allowing the energies of others to affect our spirits, properly working through the energies may be more difficult.

Normally, we don’t contemplate motivation as a means of transmuting energy. Looking at things differently, motivation is actually one of the strongest forms of potential energy we can acquire with minimal effort. Only thought.

Speaking of thought, there are also multiple ways to look at energy from the mental perspective. There are even natural methods of working with thoughts such as NLP, coaching, and talk therapy.

These are just ways to use our thoughts to better work with our lives and the world. Taking the time to work on yourself in a way that honors your path is the best way to find what works for you. Understanding different ways to progress, and using different ways to achieve that progress are what can provide us with the greatest tools.

For The Best Results, Please Use Responsibly

Too much of anything can quickly sap you of your power, and thus the Bodhi teaches moderation.

This force in which not only grants us life and liberation from an ‘end’ can only stretch as far as we allow.

“When we refuse to take responsibility for our ability(or inability) to commit own energy to actions, we are consciously allowing ourselves to let go of our control over the resolution within ourselves.”

– Reiki Reverend

Consider these questions for insight as you meditate on the quote above:

Did you really need that unhealthy meal to celebrate a workout or healthy choice?

Did you really need to relive the trauma of your past to heal from the karma heal or feel a sense of progress?

‘Some people do have a personal need for this, but in most cases others only need to re-frame and experience or process the events differently.’

Do you have to place others before yourself at all times in order to feel as if you are on your way to success?

Are there things that you practice, or people that you meet within in daily life that you feel should have been released or let go of some time ago?

What is holding you back from either letting these things go or accepting their current place in your life?

Are these things currently taking away your energy or comfort?

Learning how to accept the simple truths or facts within our setbacks or problems can help us develop ways to work with these hardships to transmute them into goals on your path to personal accomplishment. By taking your setbacks and using them to create goals, you can also gain valuable insights by working from a different perspective.

Sometimes this knowledge can lead you to think of how to work to a better outcome, other times it can simply help yourself to work through problems productively or methodically.

Energy For Healing

We can connect to energy without understanding it because of our connection to it as living beings. We are already energy workers in our own respects. To live and breathe, is to understand the essence of Reiki in mind and body. Once aligned in spirit with an attunement, we are able to heal more effectively.

Energy can be thought of as many things, but at the end of the day, it simply IS. We work with it daily even though its inner mysteries continue to elude us.

Energy is known to exist, even though it is not as easy to be fully understood or realized. We KNOW its truth without speaking it, we use it without realizing it. This can also be said of energy healing. While we don’t completely understand its methods scientifically, we are aware of its healing effects and abilities to assist the body and more.

When we allow ourselves to pursue a path of healing, it can affect our energy in many different ways. It can be a great means to achieving empowerment.

Harmony in Light/Dark – As Recorded on Spreaker

Light

Want to listen to this blog instead?
Check out my recording of this article from my Spreaker Podcast: A Healer’s Musings  

What is your next big step with developing yourself and your spiritual practice?

For me, it was looking for a way to help others discover Spirit and find their Light.

This was the major goal I had for myself when I started this path. For me, that meant learning how to push through everything that had broken me down before. A way to heal and use my experiences to help others heal.

 

For those of you who have been curious about who I am behind the screen or speakers, let me take a moment to introduce myself. I do this in hopes to inspire others to do the same.

“Beginning my journey in spirit from a young age, I’ve always dedicated myself to furthering my studies for the purpose of helping others develop in spirit. This path would not be trekked easily though, and definitely not without hardship or sacrifice.

I would experience many lessons during early life that would shape me into someone capable of compassionate leadership and grace. I was commonly misunderstood by my peers for having a different view of the world. I would befriend people from various walks of life, speaking what wisdom was gifted to me by Source to anyone who would hear me.

While this got me far more attention that I would have liked (being called weird, being shunned and outcast from the ‘popular crowd,’ even being bullied and neglected by my peers), it also granted me valuable experience in public relations. 

My beliefs in a broader spectrum of thought and existence were one that would be wrought with mixed understanding. Put simply, the kids my age just didn’t get me, and those who did had no idea what to do with me because of how old I was.

I had the air of a philosopher by age 12 and was quickly aspiring to be a great counselor or psychologist by the time I finished high school. I studied Psychology at Delaware State University because I believed that by understanding the mind, I would be able to help others unlock their potential to develop within Spirit. This would only be one aspect of my path, however.

Months into my college career, I would develop serious issues with anxiety and fatigue that would force me to leave my studies prematurely. Lost, and without that greater knowledge I sought to help others on a deeper level, I began to grow tired of the place I once called home. It just didn’t sit right with me to stay there and allow myself to slowly deteriorate as I pondered the trials and tribulations that brought me to that point.

Instead, I looked towards developing the mental discipline and leadership skills in a way that I felt only the military could provide. I knew that this was my way of meeting an end that constantly seemed to elude me. Before shipping out to Basic Training for the United States Air Force,  I would be guided to meet the first of many spiritual mentors who would lead me to a fated meeting with my first Reiki Teacher during a weekend event in Pennsylvania.

I was introduced to Reiki in a way that was so elegant and simple that it quickly attracted my attention. It would be during my attunement to Reiki, that I was granted a vision of my future within its Light. I would stay in the Air Force for a short time before falling victim to more health issues. This time depression would accompany the anxiety and fatigue I had hoped were long-gone.

At the time, I had no major support network. I was away from all that I once knew, and many things had changed within me during my service. I realized that I knew nothing of who I was anymore or why I was even on my path anymore. I was truly in the wilderness of my mind, grasping at whatever I could to hold onto my life.

Fallen, and feeling hopeless, it would be the call of Spirit that would reignite my desire to continue to push forward. It showed me in ways that one day I would be shown an even greater Light, and that I would stand stronger than I had ever been before. That I would begin in full force, the path from the vision. I knew little of the miracles of Reiki at the time, but I felt a pull to continue walking down that path.

In my heart, I felt that it would be my compassion for others that would grant me my greatest healing and help me release this doubt and worry. I would spend quite some time in Texas shortly after leaving the military.

It would be there that I would begin recovering my facilities, learning what I could about Reiki and the old ways of Spirit, as well as receiving my attunement to Reiki 2. I was attuned to the level of Reiki Master for the first time in September of 2014 after a major shift would guide me from Texas, back to my home in Delaware, to Montana on what would be a great trip, and finally to Colorado.

I received my attunement through a video by Steve Murray as quite some time had passed since I had found a Master to train me, but the call of Spirit is ever persistent. I had already begun to feel stronger, but I feared the opinions of my peers for “taking the quick path to mastery.” So I would keep this accomplishment to myself until I felt unequivocally that I had indeed achieved a state of mastery with myself.

I studied diligently from that point on, reading, watching, and practicing Reiki whenever I could. Being attuned to the various levels again by different Masters as my spirit felt was necessary. It would be July of 2016, after a second Master attunement from my current Reiki Master, as well as a third attunement performed by myself and the Deva of Reiki in meditation, that I would feel a sense of completion with my initial training with Reiki.

To me, mastery is simply a completed step on the path to deeper understanding. Days after receiving my final attunement, I would begin to be gifted with the knowledge of healing and practice during my meditations, that I now refer to as Hakuyama (Spacial Cleansing) Reiki.

I’ve been a Reiki practitioner now for over 9 years. From humble beginnings in a campground in Pennsylvania to the many opportunities placing me in several different states across much of the United States, I am known to have worn quite a number of different hats. Now I move for the guidance and well-being of others as well as the development of the Light that lives within us all.”

 

I am also a Healing Minister as you all know. I received my credentials through the Universal Life Church in Modesto, California. This title and what it carries has left me feeling in somewhat of a vulnerable position compared to other practitioners of my kind.

I have found it pretty difficult to put both of our feet on the table, lean back into the couch, and just RELAX.

Being yourself as a minister, your true self, is one of the hardest things for some of us to do. To bare yourself, in all of your essences, to an entire crowd of people who rely on your words and even actions to some degree is not only an extremely difficult challenge, yet it’s also why some don’t last very long in my profession.

In trying to be the ‘ideal’ Minister, I felt that I must constantly be aware of myself and who I portray myself to be. Over time, I’ve found this very taxing. It’s why a while ago in a conversation with a respected peer, I decided that it was best to drop this idea of being the ‘ideal’ Minister, and just be myself at all times.

It is this type of dogma that I personally want to transmute by writing this blog and sharing my story. I want to show you all how to be yourselves while continuing to grow as Lightworkers and Healers.

So allow for me to speak to you all in a manner most consistent with who I am on the inside; A dude.

A blade of grass in this massive world that exists not only for my own aims, but to be a part of the collective. To be one with ALL of existence. How does one do this most simply, but by simply being what I have always been? A dude.

I don’t want to bore any of you with poetic rhetoric or even uncommon dialogue, so let me speak simply.

The moment when you realize that you can be EXACTLY who you are when you are with friends and family, in front of those we call our Soul Tribe of Lightworkers, or even the general public AND continue to work in a manner consistent in the Light, that’s when true progress can be made with standing in your full power.

Now some of you may think that this is a tall order, something too difficult to accomplish because of one reason or another. Today, I’m here to tell you that YOU CAN!

 

Light And Dark:

When we think about these aspects exclusively, there’s going to be separation, anxiety, maybe even resentment or guilt. Why is that?

Why are these two concepts so foreign to each other, and yet so necessary for each other to exist in their greatest respects? This is because of something called cognitive dissonance.

Cognitive dissonance is when there are inconsistent thoughts, attitudes, or beliefs. Basically, everything that causes us to believe that something is foreign, different, or even unique in its own respect. It’s our perceptions at this point that make these things so abstract as they begin to relate.

We simply don’t want to admit that not only do we need light to be light because of dark, but the opposite holds true as well. We need dark to be dark because of light.

When you are in the grocery store, are you not looking for the best experience ever?

On the shelves, you notice all kinds of lights and darks. ‘Bad foods,’ ‘good foods,’ fruits, snacks, even those things in between like over the counter medicine.

Some of these things may be completely unnecessary for your growth and development as a person, but let me ask you this? Would you have noticed all of those ‘bad’ or ‘good’ things had they not taught you something valuable to think of them like that?

We need our bad ‘apples’ just as much as our good ones. We need our multivitamins just as much as we need the money we save by buying them instead of the fruit and vegetables that they’re based around.

If we stop looking at the groceries for a second and start looking onto ourselves, we’ll notice that sometimes you’re angry at the person teaching you a valuable lesson the hard way (as universally prescribed), and sometimes we are ourselves that ‘bad’ person teaching someone else out of Love.

Being a Lightworker doesn’t have to mean being holier-than-thou at all times, some Lightworkers understand this and are very quick to tell you exactly what’s on the 11 o’clock news regarding your life and situation.

It’s all about a choice. It’s all about serenity; Serenity in making the choices we make on a moment to moment basis.

Healing Personal Power

Quantum-Energy-Spirit-Fractal

Our personal power, in all its glory, can come from a variety of places and manifest itself in a variety of ways….

We’re all familiar with the term inner fire or personal power. That amazing feeling of having it all together; like we’re on top of the world and nothing can stop us. Well, what happens when life circumstances diminish this power?

 

What happens when we lose sight of how to get it back?

As we involve ourselves in many endeavors, tackling this mystique of existence, there is a common understanding that sometimes things just happen.

Sometimes, these things are unavoidable, and cannot be solved normally. During these times, our power is taxed. Utilized through any potential way possible to further our goals and aims.

After some time, and many things manifesting themselves in our lives as hurdles or obstacles, we are brought to an unforeseeable inevitability. That at some point, our personal power will wane to a point where our only decision throughout the day is to simply BE.

Lighted Matchstick on Brown Wooden Surface

In earnest, this is not so bad of a place. It is here that we are current with our Understanding. of whatever situation we may find ourselves in. We are within a pocket of time.

This time exists as much mentally as it does physically. It is our home of deep thought and contemplation, our sanctum where we become hardened to everything else around us.

This means of protection must be temporary however, as it takes much power to maintain it and if we do not face our problems and begin to walk outside of this plane of thought, we will quickly become sapped of all energy and life can soon become rather meaningless to continue living.

 

After all, who in their proper way of thinking simply wishes to live their days waking, walking, and sleeping?

 

So, what happens when you’re stuck? What happens when you simply cannot leave this place that was once a sanctum to pool your thoughts and ideas safely? This is when it is time to seek a power greater than yourself.

If you are unable to walk in your personal power by yourself, you will need the help of another to pull you out of your place of comfort and into a place of non-ordinary reality.

This reality is where will is dominant and your thoughts don’t just become your reality, they ARE your reality. From this place, it is possible to heal personal power and rise again to meet vibrations with your higher self.

 

Perhaps within your sanctum, you held big ideas for your future that you feel are far from becoming reality. Perhaps in this space, you decided to hide from what was facing you until you were ready to challenge and defeat it. These things matter little when your power is all but used up, and many things know this.

This is why energy management is paramount.

This is why we eat, sleep, and exercise.

Brown Bird on the Tree Branch

Constant vigilance and maintenance of your energy is key to learning to master how and when to utilize the fullest extents of your personal power. Without the wisdom of these ideals, it will be very difficult to conquer your obstacles and rise to your fullest potential.

Just for today, take inventory of yourself for all that taxes your personal power and assess whether or not you are able to manage yourself properly. If not, then it is simply time to seek help.

If you choose to remain in this space for too long, there is a chance that you will not only fall victim to illness, but there is an even more ominous possibility of you permanently losing your connection to your personal power.

Tread wisely, and walk with bare feet on the warm and giving Earth.

Ever pressing… Ever flowing…
