21 Days of Distance Reiki Healing

Hi there. Hope everyone is holding up okay this winter. I think Reiki charged cinnamon hot cocoa with extra marshmallows is all that’s been keeping me going. :P

But, we are trudging forward and trying to keep balanced with regular Reiki practice. We just completed a 21 day Reiki Self Practice Retreat off our Reiki Facebook page. And tomorrow (Feb 6), we are going to be offering 21 days straight of distance Reiki healing. If you are a Reiki practitioner and would like to participate, please feel free to join us on the page. If you’d like to request healing energy for yourself, others (pets too), please feel free to post your request in our discussion tab.

I’ll leave you with a little meditation music. Have a happy day! :)

21 Day Yoga Challenge

Happy New Year Everyone! I know, it’s been a looong hiatus. But it was much needed and now it’s time to back to checking in on this blog. I am slowly dipping my toes back into working with tarot and reiki. So, posts will start up about those topics and more soon. :)

This Fall I also started taking a yoga class. And tonight I was flipping through the latest issue of Yoga Journal and noticed they are going to be running a 21 day yoga challenge starting January 10. I have been trying to get into a home yoga routine but haven’t found my groove yet. Lots of times I can’t think of what pose to do next. I stand on my mat and look around my apartment as if my walls or my cat will clue me into what post to do next. Heh. I know, I should try a DVD. :P And maybe I will. But this looks fun:

New Year, New You

Have you ever tried to start a home practice but couldn’t stick with it? Well, we have the solution! In our 21-Day Yoga Challenge, which starts on Jan. 10, you’ll receive all the help you need to create a home yoga practice that works for your life. No matter how much time you have or how you feel on any given day, it’s still possible to practice yoga and reap the benefits.

How does it work? Each day, we’ll present original videos of yoga sequences. There are 15-minute videos for morning and night; 30-minute videos to help refine your poses, work your core, and develop strength; and a super fun 45-minute flow sequence that’ll have you moving all around your mat and getting a great workout in the process. By the end of the challenge, you’ll have an arsenal of practices at your disposal to use whenever and however you want.

You’ll also be able to listen to mediation and pranayama exercises, thanks to our friends at Sounds True. And you can blog about your experience on our Challenge Chat page. Finally, our Challenge newsletter will give you a little nudge each day, with background information about that day’s video sequence, practice tips, and healthy and delicious recipes from Vegetarian Times.

How do you join in? Just sign up here with your email address, and on Jan. 10 you’ll receive your first newsletter and a link to the first video and the 21-Day Yoga Challenge website. That’s it! It’s free and it’s just for you.

What are you waiting for? Take the challenge!

I’ve signed up. Woot! 21 days in a row though. I wonder if I’ll be able to stand at the end of this. Heh. Guess we shall see.

What about you? Are any of you going to try the challenge out? I’ll try to post now and then how it’s going. :)

On Hiatus

Hi everyone. Hope you are doing great! Just wanted to post a heads up; we will be going on hiatus for a few months. We didn’t come to this decision lightly. It’s been a pretty rough, exhausting year and because of that, we’ve had a hard time posting regularly. Read throughs and book clubs were started but time constraints have made it impossible to finish them. I also ended  up spending too much time re-posting other content to our social media sites instead of writing new stuff, practicing with the cards or Reiki myself. That’s something I hope to rectify in the future.

Our goal is this is that we can take some time to recharge and come back strong with a more solid direction for this blog–all new content, including ongoing series of content. Maybe I can even finish off those read throughs. :/

But this doesn’t mean you still can’t get tarot and Reiki news. Our Twitter account is set to auto-post from select blogs. We’ve tested this for a while now and ya’ll seem to like it so we’ll continue on with it. :)

We hope you have a wonderful rest of the Summer and an awesome Fall too!

Tarot Spread Tuesday: The Fool Tarot Spread

This week’s featured spread comes from Thalia Took. The Fool Tarot spread is designed to help you recognize your fears in a new situation, so that you may learn and grow.

Shuffle the deck and lay out the cards as per the diagram.

Card 1: This card represents you, your attitude, innocence, naivete, your inexperience in this situation.

Card 2: This card represents that upon which you have always relied, the solidity of the past that you may have to leave now. This card is certainty and routine and the familiar.

Card 4: This card represents your fears, which can be real or imaginary, grounded in the reason of the situation or founded in panic.

Tarot Writing Prompt: Nursery Rhyme + Mysterious Box + Nervous POV

I saw this tarot prompt on the Tarot Dame‘s Facebook fan page. It looks fun and so I share:

Write a nursery rhyme about…a mysterious box…from a nervous person’s point of view.

Draw three random cards and use them to guide and illustrate your rhyme.

I’m off to try it myself. Enjoy! :)

Tarot Writing Prompt: Music in the 3 of Cups

Time for an underwater dance! Feel the beat of the music and the current of the waves. What kind of music is playing? Does the bubble around them change the sound at all? And does the type of music change the meaning of the card for you?

Tarot Spread Tuesday: Covering All the Angles

This week’s feature spread comes from Zanna Starr at Tarot Notes – Major and Minor:

Covering All the Angles Spread

The positions in this spread are based on the four angles in an astrological chart, which represent four key areas of life. The purpose of the spread is to discover what you need to focus on right now in each area or simply to explore the current and projected conditions in each area.

The cards are placed on an imaginary zodiac wheel, with three cards placed on the First House (House of Self), three cards  on the Fourth House (House of Home and Family), three cards on the Seventh House (House of Relationships and Partnerships), and 3 cards on the Tenth House (House of Career).

Note that the 12 positional numbers in the spread do not represent the 12 houses. This spread examines only issues related to Houses 1, 4, 7, and 10 — the houses on the angles of the zodiac wheel.

1. Self – what is working in my favor
2. Self – what is working against me
3. Self – forecast

4. Home and Family – what is working in my favor
5. Home and Family – what is working against me
6. Home and Family – forecast

7. Relationships and Partnerships – what is working in my favor
8. Relationships and Partnerships – what is working against me
9. Relationships and Partnerships – forecast

10. Career – what is working in my favor
11. Career – what is working against me
12. Career – forecast
