Dear Reiki students and friends of the Seattle/Tacoma group,
It is with great feelings to send out this notice of Jeanene Laegreid's transition and passing to the realms that gifted her spirit, joy and love of life. She left with friends and family surrounding her and Reiki gifting her access to a peaceful transition on Saturday night around 1030pm.
It always touches me so when a Reiki student makes this journey to the infinite source of our beginnings. Jeanene embraced Reiki with the gusto and determination that she met all aspects of her life. She was so aware of the energy and the continued practice of Reiki's loving support to get her through the many aspects of her journey and healing of the deep levels of her being.
I sit tonight with my hands holding her, reiki continuing to support her along the way and I think of the 1st time I met her in the Reiki class. Her spirit is so uniquely different. It is like a breath of the Divine enters your space and you take notice of the importance of this life's meeting. I was blessed to initiate her into the energy that breathes the balance of life from its source. These moments are never to be forgotten. When I saw her name I was startled to realize that my name was in hers. My maiden name is Reid and my first name being Jean. I always felt I was holding her on both sides.
Her journey allowed us to come to her in distant treatments and also hands on Reiki treatments. We were gifted to meet her family and deeply loyal friends. There were so many of you that were friends and colleagues of her profession of physical therapy. You have seen over the years that same dedication and love of life that flowed thru all aspects of her. We had so many incredible experiences of going to John of God and being together in that incredible love and energy.
We have been touched by this beautiful, loving woman, sharing her life with us. Continue giving her treatments during this time period of transition.
We send our love to her family and friends who were there for her and were the tapestry of her incredible life.
Join in with her as her family celebrates her life. Jay’s Celebration of Life Service will be Friday at 3 p.m. at St Francis Church in Seahurst.

ReplyDeleteJeanine loved her sisters of Reiki deeply and felt great comfort in our support and healing.
ReplyDeleteShe was just as beautiful, courageous and filled with grace in her transition as she was in her daily life.
I am grateful for her willingness to share her journey with me to the last moments.
Love, Peace and Joy~

Mary McCann from Seattle shares-Thank you for sending the lovely tribute to Jeanene. I sent her a Reiki as soon as I opened your e-mail. I feel privileged to have known her.
ReplyDeleteI continue to send your daughter Reiki. I hope things are holding.
I am very busy with a new puppy called Gracie. I'm happy, but tired!
With love Mary

I just returned from Jeanene's Celebration of Life: It was touching to see hundreds of people from all differnt associations; medical, musical,high school students,friends,Reiki,church,charitable organizations.It was held at St. Francis Church in Burien Wa. and there were 4 priests, 2 alter boys; communion was given for those who could take it, no mass was said, but many prayers and offerings were said. Several people spoke an at the end, the song Makumatatata was sung as we exited. There was a huge reception with lots of food to eat. Kathy Anderson read Jay's List of things cancer has taught her, which was beautiful. This list can be found on her Caring Bridge Journal and can be printed out. Then came a slide show of her life put to music, ending with "Iz" singing Over the Rainbow. If you have never heard this it is the most beautiful redition done. Several Reiki folks were there and it seems like everyone I spoke with will be signing up for the Nov class. It was lovely and I sent Jay a rx during the church service.
