Babe Mueller- Our Matriarch Passes On
Texas Blue Bonnets From Babe's Yard



This was taken from Hira Reid's blog: http://reikireid.blogspot.com/

Our wonderful family member, Babe, excarnated on Sunday morning, 11 April 2010. She passed during the early hours of the morning, while sleeping. She was loved and will missed by many. The matriarchal torch is now passed to her daughter, Georgia Ann. Again, Reiki helped Babe in many ways, but the most significant is always in the pain management realms. She was never in any pain, only discomfort when being moved or turned. Dying without pain is the hallmark of compassionate care and Reiki is the beacon of light which comes from the universe to soothe our suffering in our final days. How fortunate we are to have Reiki in our lives and how blessed each act of kindness becomes when we minister to the sick and dying.

Patty Anderson shares about doing Reiki on her chemo medication and cutting her hair.

Jean shares that Patty had come to San Diego for a Reiki treatment following her first chemo session. She had commented that it was traumatic seeing her hair start falling out. She had not done reiki on the 1st chemo medication. I reminded her that would ease the effects and to start treating the next session of chemo. I also spoke of how empowering it is when you make a choice around shaving your head and to create ceremony.

Patty shares her beautiful experience:

I had my 2nd chemo treatment today. I asked to be given some time with the 2 IV drip bags that contained my chemo drugs so that I might Reiki them. The oncology nurse asked me why because Reiki is something for people. I told her no, that Reiki is for everything. She wanted to say something else but, agreed to let me have them to Reiki before they were placed in my body. When I first held them, they felt cold and lifeless. As Reiki began to fill them, I could literally feel a free flowing (not of fluids) but of energy contained in the fluid(s). I am home resting now and sending Reiki to my cramping tummy.
My hair loss seemed to have hit a speed warp over the weekend and I followed suit with Phyllis Furumoto. I called my hair girl (a good friend) and had it shaved off yesterday. It was traumatic at first but when I saw myself in the mirror with a half-shaven head, I paused a moment from my tears and then burst out into laughter; it was one of the funniest things I had ever seen! So much so, that I had my friend capture it on camera as well as the mohawk we managed before the final product: BALD. What a fun and liberating experience!!

Thank you Patty for sharing a part of your healing steps and experiencing the support of Reiki.

Our family Matriarch- Babe Adrienne Mueller - Taken from Hira Reid's Reiki Blog

Our Family Matriarch -- Babe (Adrienne) Mueller


Saturday, March 20, 2010


Growing up she was always called Baby Sister, but Babe (Adrienne) is my mother's cousin, making her our first cousin once removed. She was born in San Antonio, Texas in 1919 and has lived her entire 90 years there. She has always been a special member of the family and known for her kind, gentle and fun loving personality. So when her health started to severely fail this month, everyone high tailed it to San Antonio to assist in Babe's care. We had 5 Reiki trained family members on hand with Jean Ferris, Reiki Master orchestrating care.

With her failing kidneys and rapidly falling blood pressure, she was transferered to an in house Hospice unit.
On one particular evening, I remained at the house, while her son and daughter went back to visit her. They called, as Babe was very restless in spite of all their efforts and asked if I could send a distant treatment. They told Babe what I was doing and in a few seconds, she said quite emphatically,"its not working". They reassured her that it would work and her son stated since the Hospice unit was several miles away and it would take some more time. Her son reported that he was becoming drowsy and thought, in his usual funny manner, that I had missed the target. Then, they noticed in a few minutes, her body started to relax, her tension started to diminish, her eyelids became droopy and she immediately fell asleep. This dramatic response, surprised them and at the same time reassured them, in the mystical power of Reiki. Several days later, while Babe was drifting in and out, she said, "can you tell me what Reiki does?" I answered her as simply as I could.

I'm back home now and feel very happy that I have Reiki in my life to support myself and others. It was an incredible honor to be able to partake in Babe's care; giving back to her all that love she shared with us thoroughout our lives. She is continuing to wear her matriarchal crown with dignity, as she journeys home to her maker. Blessings, Babe, you are loved by so many people and have touched so many people's hearts in your 90 years of joyous living.

Angel Passes to a New Realm

Word has come to me this morning that Isidra's 26 year old son, Angel has been freed of his human bondage. Over Christmas he received blessings from Father Denny and it was on this day that I met Angel. Isidra had pulled him to a standing position so that he could receive the blessing. His severe spasticity allowed this to take place, while the spasticity was markedly the worst I have seen. His legs were severely scissored in a crossed fashion, yet with the love and pride of a mother Isidra made certain that he would stand for this event.

In January, I helped Isidra bathe, dress, stretch out his limbs and give him a Reiki treatment. I watched her treat her son with kindess, gentleness and provide him with lots of love. She spoke to him with a soft, gentle voice, explaining to him what we were doing, encouraging him and sometimes teasing him. On some level, he seemed to understand, while he did not have any speech, he occationally smiled. His lungs were quite congested at the time and apparently they had gotten worse. Pulmonary complications seems to be the number one cause of deaths with the children.

"Remarkable", resounds, when I think of this mother and child. Isidra kept this child alive for 26 years under extreme and sub standard living conditions. It has only been a few years that they have been coming to the clinic, but during this time the quality of their lives has improved greatly, thanks to all the efforts of the Sisters of Charity.

I know in my heart that Isidra is grieving, so I will be sending them Reiki today. May the heavenly dieties bestow their blessings on Isidra and her son, Angel. They have gained much merit in this lifetime and hopefully in Angel's next incarnation he will have a much easier life.

While their lives were very difficult, Isidra was the epitome of living a life full of love. As I comptemplate a "mother's love", I will forever reflect on Isidra and Angel. They have touched my life in a way that no other has done.

Hira Reid, a long time Reiki practitioner is interviewed by Phyllis Furumoto

Reiki Talk Show With Phyllis Furumoto and Hira Reid

On Reiki Talk Show, Phyllis Furumoto interviews Hira Reid about Spiritual Lineage on 14 Jan 2010

Phyllis begins:

"We are One"! I remember thinking 30 years ago that this was some airy-fairy idea! In this interview, Hira Reid, a Reiki student of 25 years, assists me in seeing the reality and truth of "being one" with all mankind and the divine. Just as Mikao Usui was a seeker who found and experienced the truth, Hira, weaves the lineage teachings and practices of Reiki, Siddha Yoga, Genealogy and Mitochondrial DNA testing to seek, find the truth and experience the meaning of the "Eternal Thread of Oneness". In reality we are all related to "Mitochondrial Eve", the clan mother who lived in Africa over 200,000 years ago and, therefore, we are all one.

Tune in at http://www.reikitalkshow.com/ to hear the interview.

A special visit with the Grandmaster, Phyllis Lei Furumoto

The day after Christmas, my twin, Hira Reid, Sister Carol Wirtz and I take off on our spiritual retreat heading for Green Valley, Az. We are in route to support Phyllis and Joyce Winough with Reiki treatments. Phyllis is undergoing chemotherapy and is about half way through. Joyce Winough, a Reiki Master was my very 1st Reiki student. She had been thrown from a horse recently, and still has some sustained effects from that fall. We arrive with our Reiki hands, a car full of food, that was lovingly prepared, to support our bodies during this outing across the desert and our time together.

It is wonderful to be together with everyone and the days are filled with Reiki treatments and sharing of stories. The decades of time of our knowing each other has slipped away, and we embrace the excitement of ending the year and an another decade. We hold onto a vision of wellness and healing for all.

Sunday, December 27, was Sister Carol's birthday. We take Carol for her 1st visit to San Xavier Mission de Bac outside of Tucson for early Mass. It was established in the 1700's. The mission is known for its' healing energy. There is a replica body of St. Frances Xavier in the church. One goes to him and prayers are said for healing. I love doing Reiki on this replica body. It feels as though he is alive and Reiki is filling him. I always drift off into this supportive, meditative place where I float in healing energy. We climb the hill outside to get a vista view and walk in the circle around the hill top.

We return for a full day of treatments and support for everyone. I notice as I am treating, that my diamond ring is missing from my left hand. After treatments we all go through the usual back tracking, hunting in the car, rooms, floor, backpack, jacket but, it is not to be found. We return to the Mission and retrace our steps. There is no ring. I treat the situation of losing the ring and send a distant treatment to my ring. I am at rest, feeling I might have just given a huge donation to someone who might find it. We return to the house to prepare the dinner as guests are coming.

After dinner, we share stories of our Reiki journey. Phyllis, shares of her grandmother, Hawayo Takata always being able to manifest lost items. It always amazed Phyllis. After Takata died, Phyllis said, lost items would suddenly appear and the feeling of her grandmother would be present. I said,"well, Takata, you can bring back my ring if it is to be." After a surprise birthday cake for Sister Carol and more sharing, we left, feeling very full from our days of being together.

Hira, Carol and I return to where we are staying. As we are sharing of our visit and reflecting, I see an energy form enter into the room on 2 different occasions. Hira's diamond necklace falls off her chain onto the counter where we are sitting. This has been a day for diamonds falling off us. Some great magic mystery is happening.

We leave early to go to the Bosque del Apache in New Mexico 6 hours away. This is a huge bird migration winter retreat for thousands of birds. There is magic and order to the daily migration to the fields for feeding and the return at sunset of thousands of snow geese and sandhill cranes.

Our trip ends back in El Paso with a phone call from Phyllis and Joyce. My diamond ring had been delivered to the house in the very early morning. It was found in the doorway of the bathroom. Was this a magical surprise visit from Hawayo Takata?

I believe in Reiki and its path of mystery! I give my thanks to Takata and the universe for this returned gift.


Phyllis has a new blog for her journey into her healing. Please reference this for direct updates on her path. http://phyllisfurumoto.blogspot.com

Proyecto Santo Nino -- Christmas Blessings

19 December 2009

Hira Reid shares:
Jean and Hira start their day and discover Sister Carol's passport in the car. Oh dear! She is at the clinic in Anapra, Mexico hosting the Christmas party for the 40 families. She won't be able to get back across the bridge without it. Jean calls and our plans suddenly change, as we head for the Juarez bridge to cross. Nobody is going to Mexico these days, so we drive through without any wait.
We can see a steady stream of people(Saturday shoppers)walking across to El Paso, though.


We fall in behind 3 police trucks, each with 4 ninja dressed officers clad with machine guns. Nice to have an escort in the most dangerous town in north america. They are headed to the Anapra area, so we just tag along. Suddenly, they pull off and we are on our own. Not to worry as there is no one on the road, or streets. The Lone Ranger and Tonto head north to Anapra.

We find our turnoff and head up the dirt street towards the clinic.


We see a mother with children in tow approaching the Clinic



Sister Carol is waiting for us at the steps.


















The party is in progress and Father Denny is blessing each of the children.
We enter the main room and this is a sight to behold. All the families are seated with their children, quietly and patiently waiting for their beautiful blessing. I am brought to tears.

















I see Isidra with her 26 year old son, who is severely handicapped. My heart melts as I realize the love she has had to care for this child for so many years and now she has Reiki and the clinic in her life supporting her and her family. After his blessing I bend down to meet him and gently place my hands on his head. Isidra is pleased and she greets me with a smile and a big hug. I just met her yesterday and I feel we are long lost friends.








Father continues to work his way around the room blessing each child, while a young girl holds the doll-like figure of Santo Nino. Sister Carol watches each blessing from the side. Another beautiful young mother and daughter wait patiently for their family blessing.





On the other side of the room a young girl finds her way over to Maestra Jean. She can't take her eyes and hands off and Jean is loving this moment. It doesn't get much better than this. The sisters state that this is unusual behavior for this child. Unusual, maybe, but in India they call this "Namaste", which means "I see the light of God within you, that is the same light within me."




Father blesses Jean's hands so that she may continue with her mission of Reiki.
Meanwhile, Sister Carol brings me an angel baby to hold and feed. Her mother is only 15 years old and this is her first baby. It seems quite unusual to have a Down's syndrome baby at such a young age. I'll consult with our Pediatric PT in Washington, Dr. Jane Sweeney. I have fun holding her and doing Reiki on her back. By now the turkey, potatoes and corn is being passed around. Little angel baby eats some potatoes, but ends up cuddling on my chest for little snoozes.





Hira watches Sister Janet(an M.D.) receive her blessing. Hira also, received blessings to her hands.





Sisters Peggy(a nurse) and Carol gather around for last minute session expressing our gratitude and laugh about that passport getting us back to the clinic to experience a beautiful and touching day. A young boy with spinal bifida and club foot was given a bike so he could get around better. I'm told he can go to the corner store very fast now and is getting stronger with all the exercise. This has been such an amazing and miraculous day. The sisters have accomplished so much in 3 years and we were very fortunate to see the fruits of their prayers and visions. The Miracle In Anapra....lives on in all our hearts.
