My House holds Memories

My house holds memories. They are in organized places waiting to be pulled out in times of remembrances or sometimes they might fall out of a drawer or slide from a shelf hidden before viewing eyes. They all wait to have their turn in being viewed once again.

The viewing stations are all like eyes, flickering in subdued lighting, deep within me or hanging on the walls in paintings and photos.
They store the recorded past; the past history of people, places and things. They all have one thing in common, a blending of Reiki working over time to create a tapestry of memories of people and experiences.





My house is full of people.
The criteria for entering is, you have sat with your feet on the floor, hands by your heart, eyes closed and you had Sacred Symbols drawn onto you by me. This allows entrance into a domain that lasts a lifetime. I marvel at the memories, often invoked from an asking question in an email, a call for help in need of Reiki, or a message left on my phone regarding my next visit.

If these walls could talk? Yes, indeed they do! The source of memories has blended an interesting array of events in my life, flowing over time, holding truth to be honored. The mystery is, I never know when they will reveal themselves. The magic is, their appearance will lead me on a journey. The path I am led down is directed by the unknown and by wisdom. I am guided through this maze of memories, being released from the burdens, so that I can remember the truth of the journey. We all sit in memories, some bind us and some elate us and yet we can all be freed.

My house holds the potential to be freed through this simple practice of Reiki. “Just do it”, said Hawayo Takata. The memories are held suspended in time to be cleansed, cleared and released in this magical process. The viewing has been transformed through the crystalline facets of Reiki energy. I sit in the release and little by little I become the crystal. Helen Haberly spoke of this in the 80’s when a student asked, why do some Reiki practioners put crystals all over you when they do Reiki? Helen answered, “ Oh they think they can make Reiki more powerful, but if you just do Reiki, you will become the crystal.

I sit in both the physicality and metaphorically of my house and the physical form that house my bodies. Yes, there are experiences in both of those domains and both domains are filled with Reiki energy. I sit in quiet this afternoon doing Reiki on myself, preparing me for the class tonight in El Paso and the rooms are also filled with Reiki to support those who come. Yes, the people and their experiences they will bring and have in the class will once again bring another wave of memories that will settle in and reveal themselves over time. It happens when an email comes thru, when a call is answered, or when I am doing Reiki. Some experiences are with me a short time and others journey with me indefinitely. I am blessed to experience all the people and all the memories in my lifetime and reflect on the fullness that each brings.

I have to go now and finish the placement of the photos of the Grand Masters on my beautiful bamboo carved oriental chest. Once again the memories of this Lineage will be told in Oral Tradition. Who will listen and hear tonight?
