Story Time – A Brief History of Lessons From My Spiritual Business Journey

Once upon a time, I found out that I would be a father, put all of my games and obsessions into a mental box, and studied Reiki to start teaching others similar lessons that I had been taught throughout my life in the lens of Reiki.

Then the life of a stay-at-home father HAD to become my only focus, working on starting my business at the time made my life difficult to manage and became detrimental to my mental health.

I told myself then what I still believe now, family will always come first and when I can handle the stress of work is when I will work.
I let my dreams go for a time, and it nearly killed me.

I soon realized that even working on my goals one small step at a time was better than giving it all up. Both for me, and for the spiritual forces that refused to simply let me quit.

Never again would I let myself stop dreaming of the day when I could provide for my family with my own hands and business.

Once upon a time, I raised an inclusive spiritual group of people who only wished to pursue a path of their own will in full love and light. It grew immensely from the people who joined and those who participated.

I even developed and built a blog to talk about spiritual topics, while also starting a drop-shipping business with spiritual jewelry to help scale it even higher.

Then I asked a friend I met to help mentor me to scale it, started asking for donations, and when the help dried up from life events, I was alone to work it all by myself.

I still did my best to run the drop-shipping business with all of the resources to learn and grow with what I could muster, but with all that I was trying to do and the bills I was paying for, I couldn’t afford to sustain it and keep my family. I had to let it go.

Never again would I scale my dreams past the point where I, myself could reach them.

Once upon a time, before my second child was born, I started an online church based on spiritual healing from the ground up. I did the necessary paperwork, built the doctrines, and asked people close to me to help me raise it up to be successful.

One by one, day by day, I found myself taking on more of the responsibilities I thought I would have help for.

No matter how often I asked, called, or even recruited, nobody stepped up. I only found resistance or more reasons to work alone.

Never again would I put the potential for the fate of my dreams in someone else’s hands.
Once upon a time, just after my daughter was born, I started Reiki Reverend. I built it from the ground up with everything I had left to give, and everything I had learned over time.

I knew better than to work outside of my means, and kept my growth slow. Within my limiting range of control as the children grew, but that was ok with me. I knew my best growth would happen much later, even if nobody else saw that but me. I knew I wouldn’t give this business up.

I’ve since been told many times to scale, to raise my prices to my worth. I’m a Holistic Health PhD, I’ve learned much over these years, I know my worth. I keep my prices low to help as many as possible, not just to profit.

I also respect my earlier lessons, and know what losses I could personally (mentally) afford if life circumstances keep me from service.

My family will always come first.

I’ve had many ups and downs running my business, most of the time from out of my own pockets. I know how to grow my business, I’ve even coached others to help them grow theirs, but I won’t forget my mission and earlier lessons.

I won’t forget that my children may need me before a high-ticket client, and I won’t simply ask for acceptance after payment out of mutual respect.

I’ve seen many times how I could scale my business tenfold. I’ve even written a good portion of it down for notes and helpful advice to give to my students and clients.

I’m not just here to do that though, I’m here to heal and share healing. To inspire growth that may not involve me too much at all.
In fact, I’ve seen some of my best impact by just sharing my life with the world, much like I am now.

Here I sit though, look at the next set of stairs leading my path upwards. I know where I’ve come from, I know why I haven’t gotten ‘there’ yet, and I’ve known for a while that under just the right conditions I’ll have no choice but to teach my children one of the most important lessons that I’m still learning myself.

Growth happens whether you want it or not sometimes, because there’s simply no other way. In those moments, you have to decide how you want to grow and how you want to remember making that growth happen.

My family needs me in a whole different way now, one that has me shivering with anticipation. I’m honestly more nervous about what I plan to do than at any other point in my career.

I would tell you what my plans for growth are, but I feel like at this point it’s much better to show you. Not as click-bait for a follow, not as a way to get you to buy my services at ReikiReverend.com, but because I simply can’t explain the impact in a way that feels right.

You’ve seen a lot of things like this by now, and I’m not like everyone else, or even who I used to be in the past. I’d rather show you, and everyone else who has been patiently waiting past the “I’m back,” and “more coming soon.”

In fact, I’m not announcing any of my next moves, but you’re all welcome to find out.

Some of you may even be inspired 🙏

Spiritual Guidance – Psychic Protection, Bubbles, Mirrors, and Energy Shields

Reiki Reverend Neural Light LED Energy Healing

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.

In this article, I’ll talk about energy shields, mirror shields, bubble shields, and how to create your own energy shields to use anytime. There is a quick exercise here that can teach you how to work with this simple, yet effective spiritual tool to protect yourselves and others against unwanted spiritual attention or psychic attacks.

Are you, or someone you know, having difficulties with things that may be outside of what they can normally see or work with in this world?

Do you feel like you’re a type of spiritual channel that is constantly being contacted by spirits for various reasons?

You may understand how important it is to have a tool such as shielding to protect yourselves and others, but for those who are especially affected by energy or sensitive to spirit, energy shielding or shielding has to be the most life-changing spiritual ability to develop.

When I speak of an energetic shield, I’m referring to a projection of energy that may extend from the aura (your personal bubble) in some way, that is manifested, willed, or created with a protective purpose.

When you think of a prayer of protection, the layer of faith-built shielding can become an energetic layer of protection as you may need. The same thoughts, visualizations, or even gestures can be used with a protective intention or purpose.

This type of spiritual protection is like a barrier that is with you as a part of your connection to your higher power. In most cases, there is no right or wrong way to call on this protection, just connect with them in your own way and ask.

What you experience personally while working with shielding may vary. Allowing for your experience to speak for itself, trusting yourself, as well as those you put your faith in work best.

Those a bit more open or connected to such ways may visualize, or understand in their own way, a form of coating or light that surrounds them, and the protection is so to them.

The advanced practitioner may see things differently, but only because of their experiences that have shaped their workings to be so. 

When you think about what your idea of a shield would look or feel like, making one becomes much easier.

Is it as simple as speaking a prayer, or putting your favorite hat on?

Both are functionally optional, the rest depends on you and how you feel about energy. 

The process of shielding with energy starts and operates from within. Allow me to explain in a guided method that you can try in a calm mental space.

Sit calmly for a few moments, and understand your needs for protection. Do your best to think of them in relation, idea, or even energy/essence. 

Do you have a need to be protected from harm?

Does this need involve a will or desire to reject what is sent to harm you?

Who would you ask, if anyone, to help you when you need protection?
If not who, than what would you want to defend yourself with?

Once you have gathered your intentions, it is time to give them a way to exist or a form.

Let your breathing flow freely like the air in the room.
Think of your desires or intentions for protection from earlier.
As you remember them, allow the sensations or thoughts they draw from you to rise up.
Firmly hold these sensations or thoughts within your mind as you breathe.


Now, let these sensations or thoughts begin to flow in with the air around you as you inhale deeper.
After a few breaths, take one final breath in slowly.
As you exhale, think of a bubble blowing up around you, full of your intentions.

Visualize, sense, or intend this bubble to form around your body however you’d like. Your new bubble shield can exist, or not, for as long as you may allow it to.

If you focus on its reflection, it can act as a mirror to deflect or reflect undesired energies or connections.

The amount of energy you place towards your shield can never drain you completely, but it is much more effective when the body and mind are rested.

This bubble is of your energy, it won’t hurt you.
It is a safe space for as long as your thoughts and will maintain it.

Thank you for reading this article and guide on shielding, I pray that it is helpful to you on your respective spiritual journey.

A Quantum Twist on Thinking About Spirit

Quantum-Energy-Spirit-Fractal

Do any of you follow the findings of Quantum Physics?
Do any of you relate Quantum Theory in some way to how Spirit works?

I was intrigued this morning by an article discussing a twist on Schrodinger’s Cat Paradox.

The article made me wonder how thought experiments like this one, as well as the theories sparked from ideas like it, could help certain people by expanding their frame of logic. At least when it comes to how we explain certain unseen features of spirituality and working with spirits.


The thought experiment referred to as Schrodinger’s Cat places a cat within a box in which the cat is considered to be totally unaware of its surroundings on the outside. This place within existence that the cat would be thought to exist in is considered a superposition. Otherwise known as a unique frame of reality that has no direct or known position, yet is still understood to exist somehow.

The question of whether or not the cat would consciously experience being in a superposition made me think about our experiences with Spirit.

Could a conscious being in a superposition affect what it can’t perceive?

Could they then be affected by an outside or unseen force?

Would they be granted additional awareness just by being known to this observer or unseen force?

Finally, would someone with this other-than-normal level of awareness lose their superposition if something was aware of it?

Looking at it from another angle is interesting as well. What about someone who is blinded to Spirit, or unable to perceive it in some way? Would they inherit any of the awareness that could be granted from an outside force?

After all, the saying, “Ignorance is bliss,” has to come from somewhere, right?

‘Not knowing‘ about something that is, or could be, affecting you is to a fair extent a big part of many who pursue a spiritual path. It is in many ways a matter of trial and error for some gain enough experience with any form of non-physical practice, like channeling spirits, to start predicting its effects enough to confidently consider it useful.

No matter what your chosen practice with spirit, isn’t working with that practice consistently almost always the intended end goal?

Some people can perceive Spirit on multiple sensory levels just as clear as we hear the tv or radio. We mark this ability and others as a matter of being ‘tuned in‘ to the proper station, or vibrating at the proper frequency. This relates to the Bohmian Theory mentioned in the article, which says that we may see things within this superposition because we lack the appropriate knowledge to see it any other way.

Does this mean that there is a possibility for everyone to eventually ‘tune in’ to Spirit or other forces once they’ve found a way to acknowledge it?

When you think of energy healing and superposition, do you think of the recipient as Schrodinger’s Cat (hopefully, in a much better place than a box)?

If so, would an intelligent healing system such as Reiki act as the observer? Granting the recipient an added awareness towards their concern, the unknown, in the form of healing. Or would it act as everything outside of the ‘box,’ with the practitioner as the observer?

Let me know what you think in the comments below.

Spiritual Guidance -Multidimensional Self|The Split

Spiritual Guidance - Multidimensional Self - Spiritual Split - Reiki Reverend

Spiritual Guidance

A Blog Series By:

Reiki Reverend, Ph.D.

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

In this article, I’ll be covering aspects of existence that are common, but less understood. The many facets of the whole referred to as Multidimensional Self.

Multidimensional Self – The Spiritual Split | Part 1

Have you ever felt like you didn’t belong ‘here?’ Have you ever felt as if you were not supposed to be in this relative place and time, but continued to exist for unknown reasons? Do you often have thoughts that are of yourself, but not quite what you really believe in or follow?

These are all common facets of a topic less known to most. The ‘split.’

In plain psychological terms, a ‘split’ occurs when one has received or perceives immense traumas or goes through a series of unfortunate events that their mind perceives as ineffable to their core logic, and thus must be categorized under a completely different or ‘new’ persona in order to cope and push forward. In many cases, this happens without the person’s prior understanding or will for such a thing to occur.

In this case, someone can go most of their lives in a relatively normal way or manner without much to do with the events or happening that originally caused the disturbance. In some cases, however, the healing journey of the mind will either manifest events or be triggered to perceive the altered persona or state of mind which can recall these events in one way, shape, or form. This can be very harmful to one’s state of wellness and being if trekked without proper aid and assistance.

Spiritually speaking, similar things can cause this to occur as well such as a rapid opening of the senses and perception of other worlds or timelines. What is most interesting is that more times than not, the very same stimuli that cause a psychological split can also cause a spiritual split as well. Let me explain in an example.

Enter Jimmy

Jimmy was a young boy of a fair demeanor. He never really put himself in harm’s way because he knew much better of the consequences from his family. He was mild in attitude but very wise for his age. Some would say that Jimmy would one day aspire to great things. That would be until one day Jimmy found himself experiencing a series of unfortunate events.

First, it would be him stepping in a pile of dog droppings on his way to school. This left him ill at ease because his mother had just bought him new shoes and he knows that she will be very unhappy that he didn’t pay closer attention to his step. This would lead him to have a very unbalanced day at school, so when the normal bully encounters Jimmy.

In most circumstances, Jimmy managed to avoid the bully because he never really took it upon himself to be a target. However, with the new smell in literal tow, the bully immediately honed in on Jimmy’s scent and furthermore his new shoes. Slightly extravagant as Jimmy was with his style, the bully proceeded to make grand gestures at how his smelly shoes would ruin his focus in class and their strong coloration would be of no help to this endeavor. Jimmy was highly embarrassed.

Normally, Jimmy would have stayed silent at the bully’s attempts to rouse fervor within him, however already perceiving his day to be less than ideal, he felt very confused with himself. Before he could collect his thoughts, the bully made a pass at his mother’s judgment of his footwear and Jimmy for the first time in his life experienced rage.

It would be a fair thing to mention at this point that such feelings were not foreign to Jimmy. He always thought ill of this bully for his actions, even occasionally seeing in his mind how badly he would pummel the bully should ever the just cause arise. Such thoughts never surfaced within Jimmy as they scared him, but this day was already quite different. This day would be the day when Jimmy finally lost his composure.

Jimmy clenched his fists in anger and lost consciousness. Something had taken over Jimmy to where he was no longer witness to his deeds or even his thoughts.

Soon after the teacher would manage to separate them, she noticed enough of the situation to call for Jimmy’s parents immediately and request emergency assistance for the now bleeding bully. By the time Jimmy would calm down and regain his sense of self, he was home and under high scrutiny by his parents. Namely, his Mom.

She yelled at him, screaming very close to his face, “I taught you better than this! You should know better! Now we have to explain to the police why you stabbed that poor boy with a pencil!”

Jimmy was in shock at this news, he was unable to cope with the situation between her yelling and the events that lead up to it. He began to cry, but his mother continued pressing on.

“How are we going to live in this neighborhood now? What are we going to do about this? You’ve embarrassed this house and yourself! All because of what?”

At this moment, she would finally smell what lead this day downhill. The now dried stains on Jimmy’s shoes would be all she would need in her assessment for her to lose herself as well. She began to experience rage. Jimmy that day, for the first time in his life, felt his mother’s red hand. That day, in when Jimmy, as he knew himself, would fade away to preserve all of the good he once knew of his mother before this moment. Locking it away deep as the unspeakable happened.

From that day on, Jimmy was no longer Jimmy, but an altered persona. The timeline in which he knew trauma such as this became his reality. “Jimmi” was now who walked among the world that had become too much for Jimmy.

Have you experienced something like this? Would you like to learn more about how to heal from these experiences and become ‘whole’ again?

Feel Free to Speak Your Truth in The Comments Below

Subscribe to my blog for Part 2 (coming soon), where I will also give you details on how to overcome these types of events and grow.

Following Part 2, I will be releasing a holistic service aimed at helping people accomplish this goal through healing and coaching.

I am not a psychologist, only a Holistic Health, Ph.D. If you are suffering in a way that would be harmful to yourself or others, I encourage you to see immediate medical assistance. I will not be offering any help outside of my qualifications.

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 – 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.

Carlos’s Spiritual Awakening Experience Part 3

Carlos's Spiritual Awakeing Experience - Separation From The Healing Results

Enter Carlos’s Spiritual Awakening Experience.

Carlos is a Reiki Level 1 Practitioner.
He is also a Grand Source Faith Healer.

I have personally mentored Carlos in the Healing Arts.
I have watched as he has blossomed into an excellent energy healer.

His methods are his own.
The results speak for themselves.

These are his stories.

Part 3 – Separation from the Healing Results

 

So I decided to start healing others.

The first person I worked on was my dad, he is going through treatments for colon cancer again. I started the treatment but nothing was happening, I couldn’t understand why.

My own father. Why can’t I help him out? The answer would reveal itself shortly.

My dad doesn’t believe in any of this stuff and was blocking all of it. He accepted to receive the healing because I was his son, but in his heart, he didn’t accept that this would actually work. I didn’t let this get to me.

In the end and beginning of any treatment you do to anyone, you are a healer with a client. There needs to be separation from who you are doing it with. This was the best advice I received from Antonio.

Sure enough, a few days later, a good friend of mine had a tumor removed from her uterus. She calls me the next day after surgery.

“I’m in so much pain. Can you help?” So I decided to meet her.

She could barely sit up and was only comfortable while laying down. I started my healing. Throughout the process, she was talking to me about what she felt.

The area where the surgery was done started to feel really warm. Then there was a slight pulling feeling where the surgery happened.

I asked her, “Would you like me to stop?”

Her response. “No, because I know you will never hurt me and I will be healed.”

This is the best attitude to have, open heart, open mind. Believe, and miracles will happen.

After the 1 hour session, there was a huge difference in what she felt. Most of the pain was gone, and to prove she felt better she was sitting upright with very little discomfort.

I want to share this experience because I had both extreme situations. A believer and nonbeliever.

We are here to help those that want help, keep your focus and continue to take this journey you were called to do. Remember, This is nothing new you are learning, you are just remembering what you did in the “past”.

The next few days after the attunement. There’s an excitement inside of me, but when the dust settles. What do I do now?

I started to try and force myself to channel and figure it out. Is my vessel suppose to feel a certain way? Am I saying or doing the right things? I contacted Antonio a few times for what I call a “tune-up” call.

Some clarification to my feelings, but in the end, all I can say to the newbies is this.

Don’t over think it, clear the mind and open your heart. Let the guidance from above assist you.

It’s a heavenly experience, a blessing. For me, when I get assistance from different guides, I have an uplifting high-vibe feeling. We all are doing to have different experiences and feelings. Trust is the word I have for you. Trust in yourself.

The best part for me was that any time I have or had questions, I could reach out and contact Antonio.

He is a teacher you need to have. He is ALWAYS in your corner rooting for you and have the answers you need to hear.

Spiritual Guidance – On Spiritual Manifestation

spiritual manifestation

A lot of people who are familiar with spiritual manifestation, otherwise known as The Law of Attraction.
It’s the spiritual law that states that like attracts like, and manifestation is all about the attitude of gratitude.

Now you probably think that I’m just going to come at this from an angle of saying, “Oh, just change your perception, and you’ll change your reality.” Guess again.

What I’m going to do instead is paint a picture that hopefully changes your perception, therefore changing your perception that your perception changes your reality.

 

Are you lost yet? Let me elaborate.

Say I’m the most positive person in the world. Upbeat, thrilled about everything around me. I live and breathe love, light, and warmth, hugging everyone I can, singing songs while I shower, picking flowers, hugging trees, etc.

You’ve seen this person almost everywhere you go believe it or not. They’re in the form of some of your professionals. There’s also another similar model of a person walking around wearing beat-up clothes, missing or bad teeth, no job, no fortune, and no look like they are ever going to aspire to anything in the world. Tell me, what’s wrong with this picture so far? I’ll get back to this in a bit, for now, let’s talk about polarity.

Polarity is an attraction factor. A part of the law that notably goes unchecked. Many of us view the world as bipolar; give/take, good/bad, high/low, but what about the middle road of complacency?

When we take a look at everything around us, are we as individuals truly complacent with our surroundings, or even our way of life? Are we THANKFUL for what we have and what we have been given? Why not?

What do we need to be thankful aside from what we already have? Are we not breathing, thinking, functioning through some marvel that is our existence?

Think About This For A Moment

When we wake up for our day, are we not waking up for our day? When we go to sleep, have we not completed another day? Considering all of these things, are we not also successfully moving through time and space at an unfathomable pace aside from our construct called space/time? So why not be thankful? Are these things not gifts in one way, shape or form?

We RECEIVE oxygen, and by the next breath, we are thankful that we continue to manifest more. I’m sure that plants are thankful for our gift of carbon monoxide. By the same matrix, our breath is their emanation of our manifestation for more life. They help us manifest.

Nature grants us our bounty. So we should be thankful right? This is that part that some understand in less than an optimal degree. The part of spiritual manifestation that so easily gets interpreted differently than how it could best work.

It’s simple, just be thankful for just being. Be in that moment of being for as long as your intention is out there, floating about in the universe, your intention for spiritual manifestation. There are no “don’ts or don’t have’s” in this conversation save for the recently mentioned. These things leave room for error, room for envy, room for lust. These things tend to get in the way of how things work.

Do we all use them at one point or another? I know I’m guilty, BUT I’M THANKFUL that I am mindful enough to see it and transform it. Transform those negatives (negative thoughts, feelings, and emotions), and we all have the possibility of being far more than what we may perceive ourselves to be.

Understanding this is easy, just allow. Same goes for the transformation process, just allow. Allow for things to be as they are in the time and place we have MANIFESTED and CREATED them to be in. Then just be, once again, once we accept things as they are, then we are capable of much much more.

Speaking Of More Is Only Part Of The Equation Of Manifesting More

When we pray to our higher power(s), or even when we speak our intentions, we are automatically calling the Universe into action, right then and there. The words or intentions have LEFT our mouths and been CAST out into the field to be carried out. To manifest exactly what we ask for, and when we ask for it.

Well, within the respective given that is Universal Time. There’s another part is also commonly missed. When we leave our intentions with the Universe to manifest, we’re more or less giving orders to the Universe to be carried out as we directly or indirectly intended.

Now sometimes, the Universe hears us, and it gets right to what we need. The Universe begins to form our manifestation of will and intent. Other times, the Universe will look at us like, “You want me to do WHAT? And you just EXPECT me to just HAND that over to you, just like that?”

These aren’t intended to be phrases of discouragement. These are more a call to action. A challenge, if you will. There is a time for speaking, and a time for doing. That is to say, there is a time for setting your spiritual intent, and a time for working towards your manifestation.

We are all wise enough to understand this already. Sometimes, we may be hesitant or ‘hard of hearing,’ when the Universe says these types of things to us. However, we understand that the feeling is always there. That ‘get up and go feeling.’ The feeling that we are in the right place, at the right time, to do what we are called to do.

It is completely our choice to acknowledge it or ignore it. When we acknowledge it, most commonly it can lead us to greater things. When we ignore it, most commonly it leads us to regret. There are rare cases though when acting against this instinct is exactly what we are called to do. Intuition is the best judge for these cases.

In the end, it’s our world to shape as we see fit. However, we must be willing to accept what will happen to our intentions when we do this. So, I call you all to action right now, with this painting I’ve just finished.

Be conscious of your perceptions.

Accept yourself, transforming any negatives into positive affirmations.

Finally, be thankful for that breath you just took to finish this blog.

I pray that the next one comes right on time,

Love and Light

Carlos's Spiritual Awakening Experience Part 2

Carlos spiritual awakening experience

Enter Carlos’s Spiritual Awakening Experience.

Carlos is a Reiki Level 1 Practitioner.
He is also a Grand Source Faith Healer.

I have personally mentored Carlos in the Healing Arts.
I have watched as he has blossomed into an excellent energy healer.

His methods are his own.
The results speak for themselves.

These are his stories.


Part 2 – Carlos’s First Healing Breakthrough

What a breakthrough!!

A good friend of mine contacted me, he was feeling extremely out of it because his father passed away and wanted just a pick me up and to balance his energy. So I agreed to meet up, but a little about him.

He does side gigs for movie and tv back up extra roles. He always had a lack of confidence because he used his lack of hearing as an excuse and wore hearing aids all the time, for almost 10 years now.

I use the word “wore” because something extraordinary happened during my session.

I met him and started the healing right away. I asked if I can help him with his self-esteem situation. I thought it was going to be linked to his depression because of his dads passing, just bring up his spirits and help be more at peace.

I was concentrating on his heart chakra, but he starts telling me during the process, “Whatever you are doing I feel a warm spiral vibration energy coming from my heart and it’s going to my ears.”

So I go with instinct and move my hands over his ears and ask him to remove his hearing aids, meanwhile, the vibration gets stronger. His ears get hot and all of a sudden he starts feeling crackling sounds in both ears.
He responds, “It almost feels like you are giving me a tune-up.”

After an hour and a half, I was guided to end the healing. He gets up stretches and talks but it got quiet really quick, I was confused.

He stares at me with confusion, eyes watery, “What is going on? I’m confused thinking something happened. Carlos!! This is the first time I am hearing an echo in my apartment.”

A few minutes later, the train passes by.
“I am hearing the train better and clearer than when I had my hearing aids on.”

He is still confused and excited, “Now this is a big test,” he told me.
He goes to his tv with his hearing aids, and he heard the tv at a comfortable 28 volume. I asked him not to look at how high the volume is, just stop where you can hear it comfortably.

The volume was at 9 when he started to hear the sound.

YES!! 9, the same volume as the 28 with his hearing aids on!!!
So I wanted to share this with you, anything can happen. I believed in myself and the best part my client did too. Unite in energy and magic can happen.

Some say wow, it’s a miracle what you did, call it whatever you want. I love what I do and all that matters is helping and making others feel better about themselves. Regardless of how small or big the situation is.

You, as a healer, are making someone else feel better about themselves.

Love is the answer.

The best advice I can give you to improve is to start loving yourself more and more.

You are healing and helping everyone else around you.

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.
