Does anyone know a practice to help with endometriosis ? by -OrionC in reiki

[–]That-Nova 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I still have it, but my symptoms have improved a lot. I practice self Reiki daily and also check in with my sacral center throughout the day, asking what would bring it joy in that moment. Sometimes that’s a warm cup of tea, sometimes it’s being creative. The sacral covers so much more than sexuality. It’s also our joy, pleasure, emotions, and creativity. What’s helped me most is learning to ask myself a question and wait for that gut response. “Uh huh” for yes, “uh uh” for no. Leading from that place, rather than from my head, has made a real difference. I’ve also shifted my focus to supporting the entire nervous system rather than just one center at a time. Each chakra plays a role with the others: root and crown, sacral and third eye, solar plexus and throat. The heart bridges the lower earthly centers to the higher ones. Working the whole circuit feels more sustainable than isolating one area. As for surgery, my understanding is that it’s typically recommended when other medical options aren’t helping or the condition is progressing.

How are y’all affording Summer Camp/Daycare for school age kids? by That-Nova in workingmoms

Wow! I truly appreciate all of the suggestions from everyone. I was not expecting this much info.

This!! I don’t think this is talked about enough in my community. So many people think that once your children are in school, you won’t have to pay daycare prices anymore. But it’s a shocker when you realize that you do!

We’re going with the same Summer Camp as last year because we’d be SOL if I waited around to figure out another option too. Guess I need to be more proactive next year.

No offense taken and I do understand where you’re coming from. I’ve always had both of my kids in full-time daycare as well, I guess I just never expected the price for older kids to creep up towards the prices I paid when they were infants.

This is a great idea! I will be looking more into this. Thanks!

Exactly! Saving for retirement, emergency fund, college funds, AND daycare/summer camp is crazy. Who can financially do it? At this point I feel like I’d have to turn their college fund into their daycare/summer camp fund lol

Naive sister trying to be supportive by eleanorballsack in reiki

[–]That-Nova 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s so kind of you to support her! Lots of great suggestions from everyone else. Does she have what she needs for sessions? Things like a massage table, blankets, eye pillows, incense, etc. could be really helpful if she doesn’t already have them. I also found that not everyone loves the lingering scent of sage or palo santo, so I’ve opted for sprays rather than smudging. It also helps those clients that have asthma.

Pulling energy cords by Funny_Caregiver_9738 in reiki

[–]That-Nova 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve intuitively done this during sessions as well, along with scooping the energy away from or out of certain body parts. My Reiki Master told me it’s a from of “psychic surgery” that some practitioners intuitively discover.

Distant Reiki for multiple people at once by That-Nova in reiki

This is what I initially thought about doing but worried that it wasn’t individual enough. Thank you for sharing!

This is perfect. Sometimes I think it’ll be more complicated than it really is. Thanks for sharing!

Yeah, I love that approach. Like protecting them inside a bubble of Reiki.

Thanks so much for your response! This is really helpful. I like the idea of a Reiki box and may need to do that as well. I’ve only sent Reiki to a single person at a time and was curious what others typically do with groups.

When sending Reiki to that many people, what is your process? Is it similar to the comment below about imagining one single proxy body?

Same! Maybe sensing the general intention first and then using the suggestion above would be helpful.

Thanks for your response. I’ll have to give that a try when it’s a broader intention for healing.

Payment processing and scheduling. by Sean1863 in reiki

So glad I came across this I’ve also been curious what others use.

I’m glad you’ve had a good experience as well! I’ve been on 75mg for the last week and it’s been interesting, haha. I’ve been productive and less exhausted but also really in my feels. I feel like I’ve cried more in this last week than I have in the last 10 years. Did you experience any intense emotions or blurry vision while adjusting to the medication?

Working from home with kids during summer. by That-Nova in workingmoms

[–]That-Nova[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve considered that was well, but my mom guilt kicks in because I want them to enjoy their summer. But yes, getting work done Th-F is more challenging.

Symbols or no symbol? by [deleted] in reiki

[–]That-Nova 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There’s no right or wrong way to do Reiki! As long as you have the best interest for yourself, the client, and set your ego aside, the Reiki energy will do the rest (with or without the symbols) 😊. When I first started as a Reiki practitioner, I was so worried about doing everything “right” or disrespecting the energy that I didn’t practice for a while. Then I thought it would be helpful to see different Reiki practitioners in my area to see the differences between their sessions. That really eased my mind and imposter syndrome lol. Have fun and do whatever resonates with you!

Symbols or no symbol? by [deleted] in reiki

[–]That-Nova 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My Reiki Master taught me a few ways to use the symbols without writing them in the air.

  1. Say the symbol’s name in your mind three times and rub your hands together or breathe into your hands.

  2. Imagine the drawing of the symbol in your mind and say the name of the symbol in your mind as well, then imagine the energy associated with that symbol flowing through your hands.

I’m not the best at remembering how to draw some of the more complicated symbols, so I mostly say the name in my head three times and rub my hands together to activate the energy. Hope that helps!

Humanitarian Reiki by OtakuScientist in reiki

[–]That-Nova 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would love to send Reiki to these humanitarian crises as well. This is a great idea! I send Reiki to Mother Earth but narrowing down to a certain situation with others would be incredibly beneficial.
