Reiki is a Japanese energy healing technique for relaxation, stress reduction and inner balance that can also promote healing on many levels including physical, mental and emotional. It works with Universal Life Force Energy to clear and balance the energy fields of your body bringing calm to body/mind and clarity to your thinking. Reiki increases a person’s own supply of life force energy and provides a deep relaxation to the mind/body which can add to the healing process.

Usui/Holy Fire III Reiki is a new Reiki for today’s stressful times. This newer system of Reiki combines the original system of Usui Reiki with a newer, more refined Reiki that is of a higher, vibrational energy. It heals through purification, healing, empowerment and guidance. The complete system includes the four Reiki symbols from the Usui tradition as well as the Holy Fire master symbol. Enlightenment and powerful transformation can be two side effects of learning to channel this beautiful, gentle yet powerful energy!

The use of the word holy in the name Holy Fire II is not intended to have a religious meaning. The word holy has as its root meaning to be whole and complete and this is how it is used in Holy Fire III. Therefore, Holy Fire III is a spiritual energy that creates wholeness through purification, healing, empowerment and guidance.

Some Reiki Benefits can include:

• More calm to the body and mind
• Increased clarity
• Improved decision-making
• Reduction of overwhelm and anxiety
• Reduction of stress and pain
• Opening to more love & compassion
• Shifting of old perceptions

Family Gathering Tips

Family Gathering Tips. Enjoying the company of relatives you don’t see very often is one of the best parts of family gatherings.

Enjoy your day to the fullest by taking every opportunity you can to connect and speak an encouraging word to every person in attendance. In doing so, you will start a ton of great conversations and learn fun facts about your relatives. Here are a few more family gathering tips to help you make the most out of your time spent with loved ones.
Enjoy your Tribe to the Fullest with These Family Gathering Tips
1. Talk about past memories. If it’s an annual gathering that’s been going on since you were a kid, start a conversation to bring up some of the funny and heartwarming memories of years gone by. Include aunts, uncles, and cousins as you relive the “good ole days”.
2. Get into a conversation with your favorite relatives. If you just them a hug or a handshake and move on, you may be missing out on special stories and memories.
3. Changing up your surroundings where you normally host your gatherings are both great ways to encourage fresh conversation and connections. Make an effort to create a Family Gathering Committee. Rotate members in and out every gathering so everyone has a chance of honing their leadership and planning skills.
4. Crack a joke at an unexpected time, or grab a smaller group to go hunt down some hot chocolate.
5. Exchange phone numbers and emails with cousins and others you’ve grown distant from. You might have lost your childhood closeness, but why not bring that closeness back as adults? That way, when the next family gathering rolls around, you’ll already feel connected, both as family members and as friends.
6. Whip up some of your favorite recipes as a special treat. Or make it a recipe swap, either with or without the actual dishes. Start a fun new family tradition by creating a family “Secret Recipe” collection that can be added to over the years.
7. Create some completely new Family Traditions. Whether serious or funny, family traditions are the catalyst for bonding opportunities that can be continued for hundreds of years. Just make sure they’re memorable and a somehow representative of your family.

So, dust off your electronic family address book and plan a get-together. Gather for an annual winter marshmallow roast, a monthly poker game, or a quarterly brunch where you all wear your finest clothes and drink orange tea. After all, anything goes. It’s tradition!
