NanLT: Energy Healer

Since learning Reiki and becoming a Reiki Master I have incorporated the use of Reiki into many parts of my life.

I use it while cooking.

A touch of Reiki energy into the cooking pot, I think, just makes everything taste that little bit nicer and helps to make sure that what I give my family is the best for them I can provide.

I use it in spellcasting.

I carve the symbols onto candles or write them on parchment as part of a spell. I will also charge a symbol in my mind then send it through my hand into a spell as I am creating it.

I use the Master's symbol to build up energy within myself to be released when a spell is cast.

I use it for sleep.

If I am having trouble sleeping, I use Reiki to help me relax enough to sleep.

Years ago, when I worked night shift, I used Reiki a lot to condense several hours sleep into the 1 or 2 hours I actually had available for sleeping on some days. I wouldn't recommend this for long-term, but as a one-off it was very helpful.

My two younger sons are diagnosed with Autistic Spectrum Disorders, and provided I can be subtle about it, Reiki energy is very helpful in calming them down when they are feeling anxious and stressed.

One son has very strong natural shields and if I try to push through them forcefully, he only puts them up stronger. I have to take a more round about approach when working with him.

Since I can't send it to him through touching him with my hands most times, I have learned to send it through my entire body. By spreading the energy flow over a larger surface area, I am able to get it in through his barriers.

I once was able to send it via the ethereal umbilical connection he had with me. Unfortunately, as he grows older, that connection has naturally grown weaker.

When one of the boys gets hurt, I will use Reiki to draw the "ouch" out and into my hand. They then get to blow it away. No more hurt. I have heard the youngest using this same technique when he is alone.

Within most shamanic practices there is the belief that all illness comes from three sources: Power Loss, Soul Loss, or Spiritual Intrusions.

As a healer, my work is to travel into the Spirit Realms (sometimes called the Upper, MIddle, and Lower Worlds) in order to retrieve lost power, recover lost soul parts, or to remove the spiritual intrusion. I may also do work to help the person remove unhealthy bonds to another person.

I was already doing work similar to this as an Intuitive Reiki Healer, learning shamanic healing methods just gave me more efficient tools.

As my practice as a healer evolves and develops, I have been turning my focus on where I can do the most good. I learned during my years working as a nurse that I had a special knack for working with those who are at the end of life and their families.

Soul Midwifery, or Death Midwifery as it is called in the USA, is a way of providing love and support to those who are facing death, and helping them to have a good death. Just as a midwife is present at the beginning to help usher a new soul into life in this world, the soul midwife is present at the end to hep usher the soul into the next world.

Many people do work as soul midwives. I have found only one place in the United Kingdom though which offers training and accreditation as a soul midwife. I have taken the Introductory Coursework, and am now saving up to be able to take the first level course.

I am asking for help in reaching this goal, and towards that end am offering either a long-distance healing session or an Amulet of the Goddess reading in exchange for any donation.
