New Covid Update. Going exclusively online!

In earlier posts I have discussed how remote/distance energy works and compared how using a hands-off approach compares to hands-on. The main difference is.....there is no difference! This is because energy is universal and we are all part of the woven network that constitutes our human experience. 

In the world of energy healers, working remotely is one of the trusted methods we have been using for decades. We now have the added bonus of using online tools, like Zoom, to be face--to-face in real time. The quality of the healing is just as powerful and we are connected to Spirit in the same profound way as during an office visit. 

Classes are also online and the only change is a new format for attunements. Rather than receiving your attunements all together in a group I now give each student their attunements individually with a  private, one--on-one online meeting for each attunement.  Attunements involve a powerful energy download and receiving your attunement individually provides a more focused and personalized method for receiving energy. 

Feel free to contact me for more information or for appointment scheduling. paula@reikiarts.net

Gathering of Eagles Elder, John Palmer's, Vision

When I received this email I asked John whether he would agree to let me share it. It is with great gratitude that I am able to offer this soul-level information! If this speaks to you, you have permission to share in the spirit it is given. 

Vision in Ceremony 17^th March 2020

In my spiritual practice I work with guiding spirits from the spirit world. In my 25 years of doing this I have had 3 visions/communications that really stood out, both in their clarity and impact and truth.

The first one saved me from death, the 2^nd changed my life and this 3rd one, I was urged to share with you.

Covid – 19 virus

I asked my guides for some clarity and deeper understanding of the virus pandemic spreading across the globe at this time. I made this request as I laid down in bed for the night. This is what followed as I closed my eyes.

The Grandfather of the East came to me and gave me understanding in a non verbal communication that is not of this mortal world, but delivered with intense clarity.

His long hair flowed in the breeze signifying his representation as the Element of Air.

He communicated this;

“Love this virus, he is a Divine Messenger. It comes to you as a messenger from the Tree people, your closest relatives. They are your closest relatives because without trees, you cannot live. The basic requirement for a human to live is oxygen “breath of life” The trees give us that.

Herein lies the message of our relative the virus. You are destroying the lungs of the planet and in doing so you have manifested the destruction of your own lungs, through this virus.

Your own unconscious state of mind has created this virus. All viruses are messengers telling us that we are doing something destructive to our environment. We are polluting our Mother the Earth.

It is one of the 7 Universal Laws of Creation. “As above, so below” or “Whatever you do to the macrocosm (the planet) so it is with the microcosm (the human) (Study the teachings of Hermes/Thoth regarding the 7 laws and if you understand them, really understand them, then you will know the secrets of the Universe)

The whole reality we have created on this planet is an illusion. Man is incapable of creating anything of true power. When something so small you cannot see with the naked eye brings the whole planet to it’s knees in a few weeks, it shows we cannot create anything that is real.

It is time for humans to realise we are only part of nature, not above it. We are subject to the Laws of Creation just like the rest of our relatives, the trees, animals, insects, birds, everything.

Now is not the time to gather in groups. Now is the time to go out in Nature by yourself. Sit with a tree and listen, really listen. Not with your head, but with your heart. Re-establish your lost connection.

I was then led to a doorway. There was no sign on the doorway, but I knew it was a portal into the next age, the Age of Aquarius. There were 2 sentinels guarding that doorway. They said, “Nobody is coming through this doorway until you understand the abuses you have created on this planet. There is not much time left for you. Your true Mother, the Earth is readying herself to pass through this portal, with or without you.”

This is the fork in the road of the Hopi prophecy.

Do not despair for the ones that are losing their lives as a result of this virus. Know that those souls willingly agreed to leave at this time to reinforce the message to the rest of us that we are all connected,(the virus clearly shows us our connection) and if we don’t work in harmony with the Creation we are part of, then we create upheaval in the rest of Creation.

You cannot be part of something and behave as if you are separate. This is what creates ‘dis-ease”

What if the virus was Love, let us infect everyone with that and see how your world looks then.

Healing Takes Place During the Pause

The Covid19 upheaval has offered all of us an opportunity to pause, whether we are ready or not. It has taken me a few weeks to respond publicly to the pandemic because I knew I needed time to process. 

I've been going through many of the stages others are experiencing: denial, frustration, righteous indignation, and anxiety. I've emerged into the light of acceptance and even a kind of embracing of the dark. Within this darkness my spirit is light, I feel upbeat and hopeful for the future.

I'm not in deep denial. Rather, I have allowed myself time to grieve for the weaknesses and lack of love this pandemic has revealed about how we treat each other and our Mother Earth. We can only change once we identify that there is a problem and that process unfolds differently for each of us. I have come to understand that this worldwide virus is a symptom of our disregard for the way we should be living on this planet. We have been taking indiscriminately and with an eye to amassing wealth and so-called security. There is a balance, but we have ignored it. The message I have received is that we need to Do and Be differently. If ever there was a call to action, this is it. 

Healing happens during the pause at the end of each breath. Now we find ourselves in the midst of a global hiatus, the healing pause. We are being told that the action we need to take starts in stillness. My hope is that we will each emerge from this experience authentically changed in our ideas about our fundamental needs and values. That we will possess a deeper commitment to the connection between the world's people and our Mother, the Earth. 

There is never a wrong time to start at the beginning, or, it is always the right time to begin with a good intention. We have always had the opportunity to be our authentic selves while engaging in nature- this is an opportunity, no one is going to bother you from any closer than six feet away, and probably not even that close! Choose a tree and invite it into your heart. Feel the patch of ground beneath you and thank it. Ask what you need to know relating to the pandemic. Be open for an answer, especially one you never saw coming. 

If you want to, respond to this post or email me about your experience. We can keep this discussion going if it seems right. 

Face-to-Face Distance Treatments

Covid 19 Update
The need for staying balanced and upbeat is greater than ever at this time. In response, I'm offering 30 minute tune-ups via phone or Zoom for $30. My schedule is very flexible!

The only down-side to a distance treatment has always been that we cannot interact while I'm working on you. Those days are over!

We can now be connected via our computer or phone screens so that no matter how far away you are from Fort Collins, you will receive all the benefits of a hands-on session. The 'strength' of a distance treatment is the same as an in-person one.

Why might you prefer a distance treatment?

> you just had surgery and are not mobile
> you live far away
> you are not feeling well and need to stay home (thank you!)
> the weather is not conducive to traveling
> it's just makes sense for you

How it works: It's simple. Download the app onto your device. I will send you a link ahead of time and then at the time of your appointment you click it, enter the password, and we're connected. 

Please contact me with your questions or to schedule!

Tap Your Way to Better Quality Sleep

My clients love to learn techniques they can use at home. It helps to have a toolbox that includes ways to strengthen your energy field, ground yourself, or reduce stress at the very moment you need it.

I've recently finished my certification in Emotional Freedom Technique, EFT, also known as Tapping. You may have seen past posts here in 2015 about using this super effective method for re-patterning our emotional responses to triggers. 

Now, if you are like a lot of people, you have bouts of insomnia and find yourself laying awake at night staring into the darkness. Your mind may be a rollercoaster or you might experience a repetitive worry loop, "Why did he react that way when I said his dog looked a lot like him?"

Next time you're in this situation, tap the outside edge of your palm, the karate chop side, with the fingertips of your other hand. You can stay with the same hand or switch.

State the problem while you tap:                                           

P. Harrison, 2016

• I'm awake or I'm lying in bed fully alert. 
• I'm worrying again.
• I'll be tired tomorrow.
• This is boring!
• I just can't relax or I don't know why I can't relax.

You should find yourself relaxing and drifting into sleep before long. Use your own words and be as honest as possible. Stay focused on the sleep issue. It is tempting to go off on a tangent and that will simply keep you awake longer!

You are activating meridians on the side of your hand that help to take the edge off and ease stress. This is a basic technique that can be used for any kind of agitation. If you find that this does not help you at all, then you will want to address the underlying causes of your sleeplessness. I'd be happy to help you in person if you're in the Fort Collins area or by phone.

Unconditional Love Amidst Global Unrest. Yes, You Can!

Often I come across amazing articles from other energy practitioners or spiritually oriented authors or organizations that really speak to me. I especially like those that give practical steps for accomplishing the goal. This article from heartmath.org is sensitive, informative, and timely. Enjoy!

Heart Qualities 

For Re-Setting Our Lives

Increasing numbers of people are commenting about a heightened attunement in their hearts and minds, to the need for increasing their care, kindness and willingness to co-create peacefully. People are feeling that the timing for heart-based cooperation is in alignment with the changes Earth and humanity are experiencing. Many of us believe that the global waves of chaos and tension can be repurposed into expanding our collective awareness of the need for unconditional love to help resolve our differences.

Spiritual practices that explore the deeper benefits of unconditional love and compassion are increasing. There is also a rising interest in learning to connect more with our heart’s intuitive wisdom for higher choices and guidance. This is a giant step forward. Along with a little practice, people are finding it easier to sense their heart’s intelligent suggestions for navigating life’s situations with clearer discernment and much less stress.

The Increasing Collective Heart Awakening

Many are commenting that in the last few months, they have noticed themselves feeling kinder and much more accepting of others than usual. From different parts of the world people report they are feeling less desire to hold onto old hurts and distresses from the past. These and more are positive symptoms of the collective heart awakening to the need to get along with each other for the greater good – regardless of the ongoing resistances and separations taking place on the planet.

This growing momentum of increased heart awakening, many believe, will eventually become the baseline for a paradigm shift from separation to compassion and cooperation. It feels like an obvious time in our evolution to be kinder and more openhearted to each other, while working together to find solutions for global challenges to create a thriving world. Many of us feel that living from our heart is the "overlooked" yet most practical approach for increasing individual and global peace, being that we’ve tried most everything else already. The world picture may not reflect these possibilities in the present moment, but more people are sensing that it can be done.

Practicing kindness, unconditional love and heart-based interactions can increase our personal joy and fulfillment now, in the present, however long it takes for the whole of humanity to shift. Practicing heart qualities assists humanity by creating a supportive energy field that makes it easier for others to feel and respond from their heart. Some of the primary heart qualities are unconditional love, care, compassion, connection, kindness, forgiveness, gratitude, patience, acceptance, cooperation and many more we all know, yet they often slip from our awareness when needed the most. We own these heart qualities but it’s our job to awaken them and begin to show up as who we are.

Below are a few reliable practices for lifting your spiritual vibration and opening your heart more to others. Many of you are probably familiar with these exercises, but for these heart qualities to become instated, we have to remember to consciously re-boot these practices for a while. Rebooting is fundamentally important for establishing a new baseline.

Practicing Heart Qualities

• Commit to three or four days of looking for opportunities to practice genuine kindness to others, and sincerely connect with people, including some that you don’t usually connect with.
• During these days, also find a few minutes of quiet time to radiate genuine compassion to people suffering across the planet. Remember to radiate compassion to yourself when needed and don’t see it as selfish – see it as an intelligent choice.
• Next, consciously radiate genuine appreciation to friends, family, work associates, etc. Sometimes we adapt to and take for granted the people close to us and we forget to feel just how much we do appreciate them.
• Also, forgiving someone and releasing old hurt feelings can do wonders for lifting our vibration and taking a load off. This releases stuck energy in our heart, and helps to heal things we can see and things we cannot.

You can do these same exercises with other heart qualities, like patience, connection, acceptance, cooperation, and more. Genuine is the action word in all of these practices if you want to experience the deeper benefits.

Doing the practices a few days in a row creates a cumulative effect that encourages the increased use of these empowering qualities. If you go most of a day without practicing, then add on another day so as to dignify your commitment.

People report life changes in their interactions, and share how much they feel like their true self when doing these practices. Even if we already practice heart-based attitudes, it’s helpful to add a day or two each month of conscious exercises to refresh and strengthen our forward momentum.

Practicing the qualities of the heart can be viewed as advanced common sense, and it doesn’t require being religious or on any particular path – however this practice is included in many religions, cultures, self-help, self-care and other systems.

We appreciate you deeply and hope you experience happiness and wellbeing through 2017. Let’s remember to hold compassion in our hearts for the hardships people are experiencing through these transitional times. Much suffering across the planet can be reduced when more of humanity deeply understands that, Love matters.
