Like Reiki and all things spirit, I also cannot get enough of psychology and relationship research! Among my favorites is attachment theory. This is a psychological theory stating that the connections that we form as children, beginning in infancy, will shape our future relationships with others, ourselves, and even our perception of the world.

Steady Your Jar
On a recent call with an amazing and insightful woman she was talking about all of the tasks on her list and declared “Multitasking is really a lie that we tell ourselves. I mean, I am one person who can do one thing at a time.” Obviously, she wasn’t just talking about patting her headContinue reading “Steady Your Jar”

Finding Value
A few months ago I read an excerpt from a book that I find myself quoting several times a week. In Think Like a Monk, Jay Shetty recounts a time that he was walking with one of his teachers from his ashram. When they passed a fellow monk reciting scripture by heart, an admiring JayContinue reading “Finding Value”
Savor the Small Stuff
Recently I heard an interview with poet Ross Gay. In 2019, Ross published a book of essays containing daily moments of delight that he recorded over the course of a year.

ButContinue reading “Put The Gloves Down”

Recently someone close to me told me that he does not believe in Reiki. I was not at all surprised by the opinion or the need to share it. It’s a confession I hear from time to time, so I answered in some form of my automatic typical response; “Okay, thanks for letting me know.” Continue reading “For The Love Of Reiki”

Comparison and labeling are extremely useful tools for making choices. Leaves of three, let them be. Simple. So if we are on aContinue reading “Comparison”
Kairos
Once upon a time in a world before memes and gifs expressed our emotions and social media was used to share them, we sent email chains. You may still know some people who use this valuable ancient practice. One such email included a Native American proverb “A Tale of Two Wolves” where a Cherokee elderContinue reading “Kairos”
Gratitude
Thanksgiving is a time when we typically gather with family or friends to celebrate and give thanks. Even though this year presents challenges, many families are finding ways to virtually gather or meet in smaller groups. During this time it’s common for us to have some ritualistic practice of gratitude. Some people say a prayer.Continue reading “Gratitude”
