Helping Clients through Grief with Angelic Reiki

Angelic Reiki is one of the best therapies to relieve the symptoms of grief. Angelic Reiki carries the loving, nurturing energy of the angelic realm who I call in at the beginning of the session. The most suitable Archangels for the client’s needs then come in and give healing. This treatment helps clients to feel lighter and stronger and supports them in beginning to move forward.

I have worked with two clients recently who were experiencing the pain of bereavement. One lady, whose mum passed earlier this year, was having counselling but her body was manifesting symptoms of her grief - aches and pains, heavy weight on shoulders, stomach problems, constipation, irregular periods. She knew grief was affecting her body as she was previously healthy and knew that she needed to slow down. To add to her pain, she was carrying some guilt over her mum’s final few days.

 

An Angel of Joy came in first, encouraging me to open her heart chakra, clearing out the heavy emotion and bringing in the pink light of love. Archangel Michael brought in courage and strength and cut cords to her guilt. Raphael brought healing to her nervous system and abdomen. The client initially saw darkness, which then became lighter, moving through green, then to light. She saw a door opening and the light became brighter, showing her the healing light she was receiving from the spirit world. I was guided to focus on her feet to ground her and help her feel safe in her new reality. At the end she reported that her body felt lighter, there was no heaviness around her shoulders and her chest felt clearer.

 

Another client had been very low with grief following her dad’s passing three years previously. She’d had grief counselling but was still experiencing pain in the body and a continuous cough. During her treatment the client had a release of bottled up emotional pain. Archangel Phuel came in to cleanse the energy in her heart chakra and reconnect her with the flow of life. Archangel Michael brought strength and cleansed her aura. She also received physical healing and grounding. The client felt things being released from her and felt floaty at times. She felt lifted emotionally at the end of the session. During her second treatment she didn’t cough at all and again felt much lighter at the end. After two sessions she reported she was a lot better emotionally: she felt stronger and coped much better than usual on the anniversary of her dad’s death.

 

Sometimes in Angelic Reiki sessions a channelled message will come through for the client at the beginning of the healing session. One lady was told “With your great capacity to love comes great suffering when there is loss but if you knew how close the spirit world is around you, you would not grieve so much”.

 

Grief can also set in after a relationship break-up when we are grieving for the loss of our hopes and dreams for the future as well as the loss of the person in our life. Archangel Zadkiel came in to help one lady release her fears of her ex moving on to a new relationship; Archangel Raphael brought healing to past trauma held in her sacral chakra and Archangel Michael brought the strength to move forward. This client experienced a jumping sensation in her throat as blocks were cleared. She also had the realisation that she had hidden in the relationship and was now beginning to find herself. She felt things lifting and saw herself with a sense of freedom.

 

The angels say that sometimes you have to be prepared to release something in order for that thing to come back to you, if it is right, or to make way for something better to come in.

 

Angelic Reiki really can help lighten your energy, lift your worries and any heavy energy you’ve been carrying around, help you feel stronger emotionally and find the strength to move forwards again. Your passed loved ones and the angels never want you to feel stuck and alone and will bring all the support and healing they possibly can to get you through a difficult time.

Angelic Reiki can be taken in-person at my home in East Leake, south Notts or in Nottingham city centre, or can be taken as a distance session online via Zoom. Your session includes a 3 card angel card reading.

PENDULUM HEALING - POWERFUL ENERGY HEALING AT YOUR FINGERTIPS!

Pendulum Healing is a combination of energy healing and spiritual healing. It works with the energy field of the body like dowsing rods, reacting to the energy emitted from a person’s body, both from healthy and unhealthy tissues. I connect to my healing guides and angels and ask the pendulum to release mental/emotional blocks, clear pain, release causes of a health problem etc in the same way that you would program a crystal. The pendulum then moves from side to side to break up the energy block then swings anti-clockwise to release it, returning to stillness when finished.
 

Uses

So far I have used Pendulum Healing to relieve pain, congestion and inflammation in the physical body, to clear blocked stagnant energy in the chakras and aura and to release negative thoughts, beliefs and emotions held in the mental/emotional bodies. I now include Pendulum Healing in my Reiki sessions and Crystal Healing treatments to clear the underlying causes of a client’s presenting problem, such as anxiety, depression, migraines and physical pain or to assist breaking down and releasing a build-up of negative energy. Pendulum Healing clears the underlying causes a lot faster than Reiki or crystals alone.

In a treatment the pendulum is held over the problematic body part or over the solar plexus if it is a generic condition affecting the whole body or if we are aiming to clear a mental/emotional condition from the subconscious. Pendulum Healing can also be used to clear individual chakras so that they function more effectively. It can also clear any blocks that are preventing you manifesting positive change in your life. For example we can ask it to remove blocks to receiving abundance, creativity, clarity and enhanced intuition.

Pendulum Healing can be applied to other areas of your life where healing is required, such as relationships or work. Many people suffer from low self-worth or slip into self-sabotaging behaviour which adversely affects the way these areas of their lives.

Pendulum Healing can also  be used to clear any negative energy in relationships (bad feelings, lack of forgiveness etc) and to clear negative karma of a family lineage or from past lives. More widely it can help release the negative energy of injustices and help heal communities. It is excellent for healing low self-esteem, self-worth issues, lack of confidence, anxiety and low mood.

 

How does it work?

It is believed that the spinning action of the pendulum creates an energy vortex, sometimes known as a ‘cone of power’. Pendulum commands can be likened to placing thought forms in the energy body which affect the subtle bodies and physical body in a positive way, improving health and wellbeing.

I have found Pendulum Healing to be incredibly powerful for shifting blocks, probably because the energy is focused in and amplified by the energy of the crystal pendulum. Like other healing modalities, Pendulum Healing cannot promise a complete cure but it helps to create conditions that are favourable to healing. I can honestly say that this is one of the most effective forms of healing I have discovered so far.

 

My Experiences

Pendulum Healing can be used for self-healing, healing others and as a distance healing treatment. So far I have used Pendulum Healing on myself to relieve headaches and clear the underlying causes of my migraine-type headaches, namely an intolerance to my triggers of perfume, aftershave and other perfumed smells. For the following two weeks I noticed a marked improvement in my tolerance levels which I would say improved by 70%. Two weeks later I repeated this program and again my tolerance levels have improved considerably. I also used it effectively on myself to clear any blocks to fully connecting with my spirit guides, angels, higher self and spirit and have experienced a much deeper connection, particularly to the angelic realm, since doing so.

I have used Pendulum Healing to relieve a client’s cold symptoms (catarrh and congestion) on her chest which cleared completely after treatment. Pendulum Healing has also helped relieve neck pain, stomach pain and considerably improved the relationship between a client and a friend.

With distance Pendulum Healing I tune in just as I would if sending distant Reiki: you make a mental connection with the person, visualise them, and ask the pendulum to clear and heal whatever the client wants to release.

 

Pendulum Healing Treatment

As stated earlier, I now include Pendulum Healing in my Reiki and Crystal Healing treatments where needed but Pendulum Healing can also be taken as a stand-alone treatment which includes the use of dowsing rods to dowse the state of your chakras, ie whether they are open, closed/blocked or stagnant. I can then rebalance the chakras with the pendulum, as well as work over specific problem areas in the physical body, then finally clear any blocks/negative energy from the subconscious that are preventing you manifesting your goals, such as improved self-confidence and self-worth, attracting love or greater financial abundance, increasing creativity or intuitive abilities.

The treatment can be an hour or half an hour depending on how much clearing you want to do. This treatment is ideal for anyone who holds limiting negative beliefs in their subconscious mind, as well as for all those who want to feel lighter, clearer and more balanced.

 

1 hr treatment  £30

½ hr treatment  £20

Distant treatment (max ½ hr)  £15

 

I will also be running an Energy Healing workshop in early Autumn using dowsing rods and healing pendulums so you can learn how to do this yourself!

HEALING: GETTING THE ISSUES OUT OF YOUR TISSUES

 

 

I’ve recently been reading a book about a clairvoyant’s view of the dying process (not as morbid as it sounds!) and an image of the last sight I had of my grandma, who died 5 years ago, popped into my mind. The image was of my nan sitting up in her hospital bed and me leaving the ward with the nagging feeling that it was the last time I would see her. At exactly the moment I thought of her I had a stab of pain in the left side of my upper back. Following this was the realisation that I’d been storing up all the guilt I’d felt about not being there for her at the end in my upper back (rear heart chakra). This was why I have an ongoing weakness in this area which causes me a lot of aches and pains. I had thought these pains were merely due to holding my arms out doing my therapy work but there was obviously more to it than that.

The late Louise L Hay has written a lot about the underlying mental/emotional causes of physical ailments and I think may even have coined the title phrase of this blog. I’ve also seen over my many years working as a therapist that the people with the most physical pain also have the most unresolved emotional pain. Healing of any kind (Reiki, spiritual healing, massage or other form of bodywork) aims to release this negative energy stored in the physical body. Only when it is released can real healing occur.

Over the last month I have given several Reiki treatments which show the healing that can occur when emotional pain is released. Details of three of them are given below:-

Reiki brings just the positive life changes the client needed!

This particular lady suffered with a lot of physical pain due to fibromyalgia and IBS but she booked a Reiki session to help her deal with the emotional pain and loss she was currently feeling. She was dealing with the grief of losing her mum two years before and was struggling to find purpose in her life and a sense of belonging. She was lonely as her health conditions meant she couldn’t work or get out much.

In addition to giving Reiki to all the painful areas in her physical body, I lifted a ‘heaviness’ off her heart chakra and did emotional releasing from the solar plexus and sacral chakras. The client actually felt the shift at her heart centre. We also released a lot of negative emotions stored in the lower back (rear sacral chakra), at which point she suddenly felt cold. This implies a shift has taken place on an emotional level.

All good stuff but it was what she reported to me the next day that made this session so remarkable. At a group meeting she attended after her Reiki session, she exchanged numbers with two ladies to meet for coffee/chat, she was invited to join a seated tai chi group and gong bath session she could manage physically and heard about various local coffee groups she could attend and meet new friends. She also noticed leaflets and posters for other groups she would like to try out in the future. She ended the day feeling much more optimistic than at the beginning.

So many coincidences and synchronistic events occurred following her treatment. I’m already convinced that the Universe brings us what we need rather than what we want and what this lady needed most of all for her healing was a whole new social life. When we tap into this universal energy source during Reiki, setting the intention and allowing it to heal us on all levels, we allow the Universe (or Spirit) to step in and guide our lives in the best possible direction. Her tummy was also blissfully calm after treatment!

 

Help for ME and Emotional Issues

This particular client suffers with ME and anxiety and had recently experienced the loss of an old friend. She had gone through two physically abusive relationships in the past, after which her health had “gone downhill”.

During treatment lots of energy flowed all around her head and rear third eye chakra where we store bad memories, fear, shock and negative perceptions. The client reported that she felt she could breathe again when I held the back of her head. An interesting experience occurred at her sacral chakra – the centre of our emotions and relationships with others. I had a strong intuition that I had to pull a cord out. This cord was to an ex who took away her personal power. When treating her left leg there was a sudden rush of energy up and down the leg like something had just been released. I sensed she had felt ‘disconnected’ from her legs before. A heavy sadness was released from her heart and sacral chakras.

After the treatment the client said that she often feels like she’s dragging her legs around “as if my legs aren’t really mine”. During treatment she also had thoughts and memories of the friend who had died. Afterwards she felt recharged, her abdomen felt nice and normal rather than weighed down and heavy and her whole body felt “as one”. When I saw this client again about 3 weeks later, she reported that she had felt better, with more energy, since I last saw her.

A powerful emotional release with Reiki

This lady had been feeling sad due to a relationship that wasn’t progressing as she had hoped. She had also suppressed her sadness following the ending of her previous relationship of 8 years.

During treatment a lot of energy flowed around her heart chakra, as well as the sacral chakra and a couple of physical areas. The client felt a shift in her chest during treatment, after which she could breathe a lot better. When this happens to such a noticeable degree that it affects breathing, it is a clear indication of the amount of tension caused by unresolved emotional pain stored in this area.

Her experiences that evening however were even more interesting. That night she slept for nearly 12 hours and the next day was very emotional, releasing all the tears that had been pent up for so long. She then found the courage to talk to her current boyfriend and they agreed it wasn’t a relationship with a future. In her words, something released at this point – she was no longer sad, either towards him or to her previous long term boyfriend. She really had released all the sadness and has emerged so much stronger.

 

Releasing emotional pain is, in many cases, the key to healing. So if you have been through an emotionally traumatic time or have long term health conditions which you feel may have an underlying emotional cause, please get in touch as a healing treatment may well benefit you too!

Identifying Past Lives and Karmic Patterns with Angelic Reiki

Angelic Reiki is said to be overseen and gifted to Earth by Archangel Metatron. Metatron oversees the Akashic Records – a record of our lifetimes on Earth including what we have learnt and what we need to work on. This implies that our soul seeks experiences on earth in order to grow and evolve, moving on to the next lesson once a particular one is learnt. Linked in with this, of course, is a belief that the soul is eternal and incarnates over and over again in many successive lifetimes. We tend to incarnate with the same group of people time after time, swapping roles and providing the best learning opportunities. You may think there are people in your life that you would never have chosen to reincarnate with but these decisions are taken at a much higher level than our minds can generally understand. It is said that the most challenging people in your life are actually your greatest teachers.

Even if you don’t believe in the idea of past lives, you can maybe accept that there are certain karmic patterns at play in your life that keep recurring. Each time the pattern arises is an opportunity for you to respond in a different way, to learn and heal. These karmic patterns are like energy imprints, or stories, on our soul which affect us positively or negatively. Some can represent our strengths; others weaknesses that we need to work on in this lifetime. In an Angelic Reiki session I often pick up themes to release rather than a particular past life. These can include grief, anger, resentment, low self-worth and feeling a lack of love.

In Angelic Reiki I ask the angels to identify a past life that has left a negative energy imprint on the soul and to release its associated karmic pattern. There is no regression, re-living or processing required on the client’s part. Recurrent themes can be identified which are affecting present behaviour and beliefs. Bringing something into conscious awareness bring s you choice. Often just acknowledging these themes can be enough to break a pattern or at least the hold it has over you. Asking the angels to release it during the healing session is usually all that is required.

 

Client Experiences

Client #1 had a history of repressed emotions and sexual feelings due to her upbringing and a history of abusive relationships with patriarchal men. During the first session there was lots of releasing from the sacral chakra and clearing at the solar plexus and root. When I asked the angels to perform past life healing I had an image of a preacher dressed in black, Wesleyan style clothes uttering the words “sins of the flesh”. This pattern of repression had been carried over from this past life and involved all the people in her current upbringing as they had once more incarnated together. During the session the client felt great forgiveness and love for her sister (who she had not seen in a long while after their relationship broke down) and felt ready to contact her. She had awareness concerning her current marriage and saw herself standing in her own power with her husband, with no more imbalance of power. During the session I asked the angels to release this pattern of repression and bring her a way to take back her own power. After the session she had a long talk with her husband and they are now a lot closer. She also arranged to meet her sister. Her husband has noticed a difference in her and she definitely has more energy.

In the second session I had a past life image of the client living a nomadic life where she learnt self-reliance but found it very hard to trust others. In this life she has attracted men who have proved her right in terms of ‘shouldn’t  be trusted’. Her challenge in this life is to open up and learn to trust more. Her relationship with her husband continued to improve. There is now no more past life clearing to do; there are just self-worth issues to clear before she can move fully into the work connected to her life purpose.

 

Client #2 had had anxiety since the birth of her first child 10 years earlier, along with low self-esteem from childhood and possibly, she thought, from a past life. She admitted to being insecure and jealous in her relationships. Her mum left when she was a baby so she grew up with her dad and siblings. Her siblings often ran away in their teens. The client had suffered additional traumatic events of her own in her teens and suppressed her painful emotions with alcohol.

During our session I picked up themes of loss and abandonment within the family/soul group. In a past life her family had lost my client in sudden traumatic circumstances. I had an image of a fast-flowing river and knew she was young. Interestingly we discovered later that the client was also seeing water at this point! The theme of loss had been carried over into this life with her family members abandoning her so that she is the one who has to deal with loss in this life. At the end of the session the client reported that she had had her own vision: she saw a man in prison on an island who killed himself. He had done something bad and wanted to say sorry for what he had done.

 

Client #3 had a difficult relationship with her father and male boss. Her mum, who she was very close to, had died 5 years previously. In early sessions my client had images of her mum and a strong sense of her mum being with her during the treatment. I picked up issues of trust and betrayal within the soul group so asked the angels to cut negative cords to family members to help my client let go of past hurts.

More recently this client wanted to release blocks around her new healing career. She had always felt she had had a past life during which she was persecuted for being a witch for using her healing gifts, which she certainly may well have. However in the session I saw a past life as a nun who believed that healing was wrong as it was not approved by her church. This was the past life that needed releasing the most and which was holding her back from a new healing career in this life. Interestingly the client saw an image of a nun’s habit towards the end of the treatment!

Client #4 had suffered anxiety since the menopause and long term depression. She felt she was held back in life generally by her depression, anxiety and fear. In our session I saw past life images of both poverty and of a life as a queen where she enjoyed her status. In this life she is learning to love herself for who she is, not for what she has or is accorded to her status.

Healing the Past with Reiki

In the Reiki Level 2 course students learn how to send Reiki back to past events in order to bring about healing and resolution in the present. Traumatic events in our past can still affect us negatively today, especially when the emotions surrounding them have been suppressed and unacknowledged or when forgiveness is needed in order to release hurt and wounding that you may be holding onto. Even if the event was too traumatic for true forgiveness to take place at the present time, just feeling more detached from the circumstances and emotions involved can be very beneficial. Sending forgiveness to the past can minimise the effect the event had, and still has, on you in the present and release the negative karma between the people involved.

Forgiveness can be extended to others but also to yourself. Maybe you have been continuously beating yourself up about something you did or didn’t do many years ago. Chances are that it is you who is the one still hurting – anyone else involved will most likely have let it go by now. Forgiveness is giving yourself permission to move on.

In recent years several scientific studies have shown that by revisiting specific events that happened earlier in this life, or even those you believe happened in a past life, and adding information, compassion or forgiveness into those events, this can affect the energy of that event as it flows into the present. Going back to that event in the present gives the opportunity to add information from your adult self that your child self would have been unaware of. It also gives you the opportunity to imagine hearing the other person’s side of the story. In other words, it helps you to view the event from a more detached, objective, different perspective and bring compassion and forgiveness into the situation where needed.

When we want to heal the past with Reiki we bring the event to mind, visualise the people and feel the emotions involved, then visualise/imagine the scene turning out well, with forgiveness offered and accepted, or just viewing the situation with detachment. Letting the Reiki energy flow as you acknowledge painful emotions can help with the releasing process. We are not actually changing the past itself but we are changing the emotional charge and energetic imprint surrounding that event. Afterwards, when you think about the traumatic event, you will find that its emotional impact is reduced and its effects bother you less and less. It really is possible for people to turn their lives around when they go back in their minds to add information, forgiveness and healing to past events because this helps change the way they feel and behave in the present. Grudges and anger can be released and the person who benefits most is you!

On a wider scale, you can imagine how much greater the effect could be at a global human level. Whenever terrible events occur around the world, our usual response is to react with fear and negativity. However, if people were to send positive thoughts with the intention to heal the situation with love instead, this would help release the negative karma that was created and help to heal the whole.

If you want to send healing to events in your own past, it is possible to do so without being attuned to Reiki. Hold the vision of the event and hold the intention to forgive those involved. In your mind ask the people involved to voice their side of the story. Insights can be profound. Their actions may have been terrible but understanding does at least remove some of the fear around the event. When you can truly let go of the painful emotions involved and extend forgiveness, if possible, this will help to purify the karma between you and set you free. This is one of the most healing spiritual practices you can do.
