Traditional Reiki vs non-Traditional

Being a Reiki healer is a great practice of healing, but it’s not the only kind of Divine Holistic healing in the world. Asia doesn’t have the corner market on that kind of healing practice and to my knowledge, they’ve never claimed to be the one true Divine holistic healing method. There are many variations of Divine healing and each one has its own name, process and approach. Some don’t like being called Reiki because they believe it takes away from their own traditions and history. Understandable. When you have a tradition that you feel passionate about maintaining, what you call it has meaning.

By the same token, simply calling something “Reiki”, doesn’t make it Reiki. It is up to you as a student or someone looking for healing services to determine what is appropriate for you. But you should know a little about what you’re asking for so you know what is Reiki and what isn’t.

I’ve taken many forms of holistic, or what can be called Divine Energy, healing methods through my half century of living. So I have a small portfolio of healing modalities to compare each one against. For me, Reiki (traditional Usui Shiki Ryoho Reiki) fits best with me and what I feel most connected to within my own soul. Continue reading

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Knight of Wands

 

Knight Of Wands

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Trust your gut feelings and nurture your intuition. You already think you should be suspicious, so why do you keep doubting your instincts. Don’t give too much away. Be watchful and vigilant. You will overcome the confusion which will allow you to see the whole picture and make the best choice for you. This is not the weekend to throw caution to the wind!


Additional Insight:

If you already feel uneasy about something going on around you, then don’t dismiss your gut feeling. Something isn’t right. It may not be clear what it is for a few more weeks, or perhaps even a couple of months. But managing your expectations is a good idea until you know for sure what’s going on behind the scenes.

It can be hard to tell the difference between allowing fear to create negative talk in your head and your real gut feeling that something is wrong. That’s where a daily meditation comes into help. At the very least, even a single weekly meditation can help you strengthen the bridge between your conscious and higher conscious minds.

In a state of meditation, you can examine your gut feelings and figure out which are your own doubts and which are your real gut instincts about something that simply doesn’t seem right. But if you’ve had this feeling for a few days and it won’t go away, it’s probably not your fears talking. So be watchful. Hold back on your interest and emotions. Don’t let your feelings runaway with you and you’ll be able to limit the damage. There’s a reason this is happening right now, but without having a clear mind and vision, you’re going to have a hard time seeing what that reason is.

If you don’t meditate and you’d like to learn how, check out our online meditation guide on Spring’s Haven. It’s free, simple and easy to try: Meditation Guide.

You can order a personal reading from Spring through the Services at Spring’s Haven. We offer both in-house and email/phone/skype consultations. As a Ministerial organization, all our consultations are private and strictly confidential.

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Ace of Cups – Inverted

Ace of Cups - Inverted

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Be a little goofy today. You’re letting the stress weighing you down too much and that’s not good for your body, mind or your spirit. Allow yourself to bring in some healing. Dance in the rain or go toss some snowballs around to let off some steam. Surround yourself with positive energy and let the fun run free.


Additional Insight:

Everything in life needs balance. Even paying attention and being focused on the negative actions around you, need to be balanced with positive exercises to re-energize you psyche.

It’s ok to be a little goofy and fun during the day. There’s a place and time for everything. A little laughter before a meeting can alter the flow of a stressful discussion. A bit of silliness afterward can put everyone at ease and allow them to focus on the task at hand, instead of what’s happening to their personal career or employment situation.

Holding in all that angst is part of the problem. The more anxiety, anger, fear or stress you hold within, only draws more of that same energy to you. Finding a way to release it and let it out is the best way to change out the negative and bring in the positive.

Whatever that thing is for you to let off steam and relax, plan some time for that today. Whither you sit down and have a cleansing cry, or punch a bag at the gym. Maybe you like writing, so pour your emotions into a letter to yourself. Remember to end the moment with a smile and self pep talk to bring you back to even keel. If you don’t do it, who else is going to do it for you?

laughterEven if you’re at home, you can find something to make you smile and feel a little lighter. Talk to yourself out loud, heckle the tv program you’re watching, or watch a funny movie. You can even find some funny video’s on YouTube to change your attitude.

Here’s one of my favorite that I use for this very thing! We watch videos of Late Night CBS Talk Show Host Craig Ferguson. .

If you like laughing, here are some of my favorites: We start with “Geoff Makes Craig Cry” in a good way. My son loves “Craig Cracks Himself Up“. And then there’s “The Chuck Norris Apology“. And a million more.

We truly love Craig and Geoff. He’s gotten us through many tough times, down times and sad times. Nothing seems so bad after you’ve had a good laugh.

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: The Emperor –

The Emperor

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft


Don’t go looking for a fight where there isn’t one being raised. Hold onto what you have, but don’t assume all those  who cross your path is trying to take it from you. Not everyone is against you nor is everyone your enemy. A good leader knows when to protect their kingdom and when to open the doors and welcome friends. Be careful you’re not clouding your judgement through rumor and you’re allowing others to speak for themselves. You could be creating a foe out of a friend you might need or want later on.


Additional Insight:

There maybe someone around you claiming to be a friend, but who has underlying motives to destroy what you’ve gained. Not everyone around you is working against you. You have more supporters than you have enemies.

Be careful you’re not allowing your own insecurities to reflect back to you through the actions of someone else. Be confident in what you have achieved and allow your accomplishments to give you strength and overcome the negative self talk. Stop allowing your fears to speak in your head and keep you from doing something you want to do.

“Yes I might fail. But I will learn & achieve wisdom through the trying.” ~ Springwolf
Yes you might fail and your plan may not work out. That possibility shouldn’t keep you from trying. At the very least you’ll learn what doesn’t work and you’ll have more knowledge and understanding to try again and achieve the goal. No one who has ever achieved success, has gotten there by quitting before they got started.

You don’t need the approval of someone else to live your life. You don’t need to impress anyone but yourself. When you stop living for others and start living for yourself, you will find courage and success. Look in the mirror today and remind yourself you can do this. You’re smart, you have successes under your belt and each new venture is an opportunity to learn, improvise, adapt and overcome! You CAN do this!

A negative mind will never give you a positive life” ~ The Buddha

We’ve Caught Up

email-lostBack From The Holidays

We’ve caught up on voice and email from the holidays. If you left us a message, or sent an email to any of our websites, we’ve replied, answered, and scheduled appointments. If you didn’t receive a response than something went wrong. smiley-wink

Typically that means the email you provided for us to respond to didn’t work for some reason. If it was a typeo, we can usually figure it out. But not always. Sometimes it’s because you have your spam filter set tightly and we can’t get through. To fix that, you can allow mail from springshaven.com or paganspath.com.

Other times, we simply have no clue what happened. So if you sent us something in December or the first week of January, and didn’t hear back, send us a note again. You can get in touch with us through our contact pages, Spring’sHaven Contact or Pagan’sPath Contact. Be careful typing in your email address.

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Four of Pentacles

4 of Pentacles

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Watch your back. If you don’t step up to the plate, someone else will take what you’ve earned. You worked hard to fill your baskets. Don’t become so frightened or overwhelmed about doing the work that you allow someone else to take what you’ve earned. Now is not the time to rest either. Get your head in the game and get back to doing what you do so well! This is what you wanted. So hop to it!


Additional Insight:

We can spend so much time working on our dream that when it begins to manifest we stop and try to coast the rest of the way up the hill. Sadly, life doesn’t work that way. When you reach the top of the mountain, you still have the plateau to cross, before you can coast for a little while.

You still have a lot to do and ways to go. Pay attention to what’s going on around you. Make sure you’re positioned to do the work you take on. And if not, then it’s time to grow and expand. There are many people who need work and many more who want to help you out.

Don’t become overwhelmed by the turn around. It’s what you’ve hoped for, and worked to hard to get to. Now it’s time to get to it!

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Knave of Swords – Inverted

Knave of Swords - Inverted

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Don’t give up. The year has just started! The holidays may not have been what you hoped for, but they’re over now and a new year has begun. Most folks are heading back to work and to school. The attitude you carry into this first day of returning to reality will set your energy for the year. Start it with vim and vigor and the fortitude to move forward, conquer and overcome!


Additional Insight:

You can start the year with a defeatist attitude and put your head between your legs to kiss your backside goodbye. Or you can stand up and face the challenges of every day life with everyone else who chooses to move forward. Stop feeling sorry for yourself and start feeling pride for yourself. Your attitude creates the energy you will pull toward you. So stop pulling in the negative.

You are better off than you think you are and have more to be thankful for here in the beginning of the year than some. Remember someone always has it worse than you do. So you haven’t paid the rent this month, someone near you hasn’t been able to pay theirs for several months and face eviction or foreclosure.

So you ob isn’t paying enough for you to live the way you used to. Someone near can’t get a ob at all and has gone hungry for several days. Your car is having problems on top of everything else? Someone near you has to walk in the cold or blistering heat and doesn’t have the luxury of a bus to take them where they need to go.

Everyone can find something to complain about, no matter how much abundance they have in their lives. It’s easy to complain, that’s the culture we’ve been trained to live in. But it’s easier to look at the good things you have going for you and pull positive energy into your day. Doing so makes the next day even easier. And the next and the next! Before you know it, the good more than outweighs the bad and you’ve changed your life…and the year…for the better.

It’s a good time to remember and recite the years new motto: I am at peace and live in the moment with all the prosperity and abundance I require!
