Angel Card Readings

I receive a lot more inquiries about what angel readings are than I do about what Reiki is. It’s a service I offer, that I do not advertise as much as Reiki or Reflexology, because I think people think it’s too weird. So when people inquire, it’s a pleasant surprise. I really do enjoy doing angel readings and that it also shows that this person may believe in angels. I don’t know when I started believing in angels. Probably after I started praying, and noticing that my prayers were answered by synchronistic events occurring. It happened too often to ensure me that I’m not crazy and that ‘something’ else had to be at work.

When I first noticed that I can sense and work with energy, I asked that I be guided and work with only the highest beings with the best intentions for people. The universe opened and I suddenly had money for 2 weeks vacation in Hawaii, one week coinciding with Doreen Virtue’s Angel Therapy Practitioner course and money to pay for the course. My job that had kept me so busy was ok with me taking the two weeks off and I got into Doreen’s course. So maybe the angels are these highest beings that answered my prayers. Four years later, and I still work with them everyday, during my clients’ sessions and they have never failed me. With love, they serve all beings.

I believe angels to be non-physical beings that co-exist on our 3D plane, and exist as energy. When an angel is around, people report feeling ‘presence’, a gust of wind, a ringing in the ear or the hairs on their arms standing up. On some level we are sensing something, as there is a force that is causing a response in our physical body. We just may not be able to see them (though some people do). I believe if we set intentions to work with a specific energy, the universe has to respect that. Angels always are there to help us and act with a divine force.  They respect our free will and only offer guidance when we ask for help. They never tell us what to do, offer guidance and it is up to us to listen or not.

Using Angel Cards as a divination tool, I deliver messages from the angels on what clients are asking about. The cards are a physical tool that help deliver the messages, as they guide me to focus on images, words and colours in the cards. I find they always give supportive and loving advice, and are quiet humorous at times too. I am quite passionate about energy work, and I give credit to the angels for lightening my work and making it fun. I use the cards as part of my own spiritual practice, and recommend it for others. It is a good way to exercise your intuition and learn to communicate with them yourself. 

Preparing to receive Reiki Attunements

My philosophy to improve universal healing is to empower people to heal themselves. Part of this is being aware of your own energy, following one’s intuition (or listening to our bodies) and learning how to manage ones own energy. I am grateful for my Reiki clients, as I learn from their Reiki sessions and see the growth and shifts on all levels. After awhile of receiving Reiki treatments, certain Reiki guides appear to me during a client’s session as a sign that this person will learn Reiki. It is such a gift to see, because on some level, the client is consenting to learn Reiki and inviting the guides to work with them. How amazing.

One ‘side effect’ of being attuned to Reiki is that your life shifts. Some shifts may include: changes in relationships, changes in diet, releasing habits/addictions, changes in perception/intuition and/or changes in body physiology. For me, I learned Reiki and other modalities in a short period of time. The shifts in my life were extreme and included: quitting my job and changing career path, selling my home, new relationship and change in life style. I was in shock and recovery from where the wave of life took me. I would not wish that on anyone, so I always warn people about the side effects of learning Reiki. My Zenith-Omega teacher taught me to ask for the lessons in life and shifts WITH EASE. I wish that on everyone. So as I continue Reiki on the clients that are to learn Reiki, I see the Guides working on particular issues relating to the chakras that are mainly out of balance on them. To receive the Reiki and channel it, means to balance our chakras, and this is really what the Guides wish of us.

From what I have observed from attuning people to Reiki, I noticed that the Reiki energy focuses on certain chakras during the attunement process. This has varied with each individual, as we all have certain chakras we are working on at different points in time. For example, with one person, the attunement seemed to focus on the solar plexus. Months after, her life and relationships shifted and she became more empowered. For another person, the Reiki was focused on the heart chakra. After the attunement, she had a physical release from her chest as she experienced cough and bronchitis. Within six months, she noticed a change in her relationships and started taking more time for herself. As the Reiki works on the specific chakras, it makes sense that our life shifts on the physical, emotional, mental or spiritual level. As we shift on an energetic level, so does our life.  

Energetic Bullying

I have been subject to bullying early in childhood. For being a minority, not being able to speak English, being female or being in the gifted program as a kid. Only in the past few years, did I realize I also experienced it in the workplace. I was a runner as a kid. Ran away from the bullies, because I was short and weak as a kid. That little runner child still resides in me. 

I had just undergone a period of high stress in the workplace and was energetically drained. After giving myself Reiki, doing some yoga, and calling on the Angels, I still could not release this draining energy. Thankfully, a fellow holistic practitioner and I set up for an exchange. How wonderful to receive Reiki! My friend is gifted with seeing energy and energetic cords/connections, and was exactly the practitioner I needed to see. She saw energetic 'boulders' of energy piled on me from a co-worker (bully). No wonder I felt stuck and drained! I was being crushed, and really needed assistance to be buried out of that rubble. I always say the energy we experience is not too far from what manifests in the physical. 

I have noticed that when there has been a shift in the Universe, people are put in a position to deal with their deepest issues. Releasing what does not serve them, and it's being released onto others. What I learned from my energy treatment was exactly this. Bullying is a form of people dealing with their issues, and loading them onto others. So from a place of love, I see it is their attempt to deal with their issues. Usually, people are not knowingly or intentionally forming cords to others. The boulders were crushing my personal power (solar plexus chakra) and not allowing that energy to be expressed. After the energy treatment, I was aware of the boundaries that I need to form and that it is not my responsibility to take on issues of others (which I find is a common in those that are healers/mothers/caregivers). I feel my inner runner child is learning to take a stand and not engage. How wonderful that Reiki can work on a me on different levels. 

Preventative measures from this happening is to maintain strong energy: eating well, exercise (to cycle energy), Reiki, and meditation. 

Sometimes thorough scrubbing (cleansing) of the body done with Reiki or other forms of energy work are helpful. 

To strengthen the solar plexus chakra: eat well so digestive system is functioning well, core exercises, essential oils ginger and juniper berry.
