There will be a Womb Blessing attunement on May 25 at several different times (based on the time zone for the UK). Blessings are nice to receive (and to give), so I thought I would share this information for wom(b)en interested in receiving a healing blessing for their wombs. Miranda Gray, a healer, teacher and author is offering the attunement to those who register in advance. After I registered, I received an email that highlighted the potential for the blessing to help to: After registration, each registrant will receive an email with meditation instructions in order to prepare to receive the energy. In addition, men who would like to connect to the healing energy of this time can do a meditation to assist in clearing previous relationship issues. For couples, this is and can be a powerful time of synchronized healing.
1. Awaken, embrace and enjoy all four female sexual energies.
2. Return sex to passionate, loving, playful, and mystical sacredness.
3. Feel sexually confident and in love with your body and its cycles.
4. Heal the relationship with your mother and your feelings about motherhood.
5. Bring you closer to the Divine Mother and to open to her love and guidance in your life.
Maybe there is one area, more than one area or all areas that are of interest. May 25 is a day of womb healing and clearing for wom(b)en everywhere. I’ll be a part of the healing and here is the link to how you too can be a part of the healing as well:

Reiki: For those situations I can’t handle
Whenever situations arise that I have a hard time handling, there is Reiki. For me, Reiki is that activity that I SHOULD do but for some reason don’t. However little I practice on a daily basis it seems that it works for me when I am in the kind of dire straits where not much else helps. I decided that last night would be a Reiki night and climbed into bed early. Still, I didn’t immediately start Reiki. After I had fallen asleep, then awakened, I started Reiki on myself. I could feel tension easing as I moved from hand position to hand position. Generally, I do not sleep on my back (I am the ball you would see under the covers) but because of the Reiki positions, that was the position I slept in. And I slept like a baby. I slept so well that when I awakened, I didn’t feel groggy or anything. I just woke up – still on my back. Today I have attempted to stand back from the situation that brought me to this Reiki point without the usual worry that situations like these entail. Reiki is a hands-on (or hands-off/distance) healing method that channels energy flow to go where it is needed on a person’s physical, emotional and spiritual body. The practice was “discovered” by a Japanese Buddhist monk (among other things that he was/did). Mikao Usui, after having connected to the energy that is Reiki, then went on to teach the technique to others while also providing healing for people in the local area. For a better handle of the history, I would recommend that you read this or this. Or, of course you can Google it for more information as well. Reiki was introduced to me by a guy who was working as a military contractor in the Middle East and Africa. I was not spiritually inclined but listened to him describe to me an all over tingly feeling he would get while receiving a Reiki treatment. The description sounded too hocus-pocus to me, especially coming from him with his uber-macho job, so I declined his offer of having a treatment done until I could look into what this Reiki tingly feeling thing was that he spoke of. Months later, I went to the same place I took him so that I could tap into the tingly relaxed feeling he reported. At the time, I was extremely on edge and realized that I could use some intense spiritual relaxation. The practitioner, within moments, read me like the front page of a newspaper. She moved beyond my carefully crafted facade and spoke of the real me that churned beneath the surface of my facade. The me of the overactive mind that runs at breakneck speed at all times. She saw it despite the fact that we didn’t spend much time talking. I initially scheduled a short session with her which she said was too short to be effective and we agreed that I should return. Months later, I did return for an hour long session. If the first session revealed part of the real me, the second session revealed me in my entirety. It wasn’t just a one-way street though. During the treatment, I went off somewhere in a lucid dream. I saw a house in a very green field that was very familiar to me although I had never seen it before. I thought the house or place was in Ireland. This session took place in 2003 or 2004. However, while in Switzerland recently, I was shown a place that looked exactly like what I saw in my dreams – and it wasn’t Ireland. Furthermore, the person who showed me the picture was someone with whom I felt time stand still and stretch into infinity. It felt like a signpost. That one session keeps bearing fruit years later. As she wrapped up the session, she explained what she saw/sensed. Much of what she mentioned, at the time, made no sense whatsoever. Then I went to the doctor months later. Over time, based on different conversations with different doctors, everything she saw/sensed and told me about was explained by my doctors as they worked to treat a medical problem that I had. From that session, I became a believer. I went on to have surgery for the medical problem and had distance Reiki in advance for my surgery/hospital stay. Other than the amazingly bad reaction to my pain medication (intense itching that felt like it was in my being instead of on the surface of my skin), the surgery and recovery was a breeze. I was almost sashaying around the hospital ward before they released me. After I left the hospital, I only took one pain pill and that was because I was “supposed” to. After that one pill, I decided to wait for the pain to begin then take the pill. The pain never began… Since then I’ve gone on to have the Reiki attunements and learn about Reiki. I had experiences a few years back that had me practicing Reiki on myself daily and sometimes several times throughout the day. A side effect of that intense level of practice on myself is that I seemed to have opened myself to some unexpected “gifts”. I began to have dreams about people that I knew. The dreams felt different and when I asked questions (without revealing my dreams) it seemed that I was able to pick up what was going on in their lives. It is that side effect that is probably at the heart of my reluctance to practice on myself. I will continue to give myself treatments for a while to help me through this episode. Maybe the gifts will remain in their package…
Imagine That…
Today started out not much different from most days. Yet the end has been quite different. I needed to make a phone call before 8am but instead received a phone call before 8am that I needed to interrupt in order to make the necessary call. I did not catch the person but left a message instead. I then received a phone call from a friend that I had not recently spoken with, later, during the 8 o’clock hour. After all the phone calls were made and received, the emails checked and jobs searched, I had some moments where I was trying to figure out what do I do next? At that time, I started to feel the funny feeling I get sometimes when I feel as if I’m picking up on energy coming my way. I felt it in my heart. I took the opportunity to sit in the feeling and just feel it as I wondered from where was the feeling coming. Those moments brought to mind “Imagine” and that is why there is the earlier post of that video. After having posted the video and revisited the feeling of holding hands singing the song, I was getting ready to do something when the phone rang again. When I answered, it was a phone call arranging for me to be an extra in a film. I had previously signed up for a website that managed casting for local films with two non-professional photos of me – a head shot and a body shot that I had already decided not to use for its original purpose. After agreeing to the date requested, we hung up the phone. Later, the phone rang again. This time, the request had changed. Instead of being a random extra, I had been requested as a “special” extra with a wardrobe fitting that needed to be scheduled in advance of my original filming date. I have no idea from where the energy came. I’m not even sure the energy came from somewhere else or if it was just a natural shift in my energy. However, little did I know the changes a few minutes would make after having, in my own way, acknowledged the shift by posting the video. If it came from someone, thank you. If it was just a natural shift, then I’m thankful to the Universe for that shift. Me, an extra in a film. Imagine that…
Accidents and falling
Yesterday, we were on the bike pedaling to our heart’s content. When all of a sudden, I ran into the back of my friend’s bike when he stopped. It was almost as if I were outside of myself looking at the incident. I never used the brakes, I just plowed into his bike from behind. It was definitely the non-motion of his bike that stopped me. I realized that my mind was a million miles away and it was if I were coming back to myself just in time to see the accident happen but not soon enough to prevent it. I could not remember what preoccupied my mind so that I didn’t react to his stopping. Ultimately, there were no injuries, no problems involved. Then, there was this morning. I was on my way downstairs when my foot slipped and I found myself butt-bumping my way down several stairs. Yesterday’s good fortune didn’t shine on me this morning. I scraped the surface layer of skin off my elbow in two small places and have aches in a couple of other places (literally, I butt-bumped my way down). I’ve had times in the past where I’ve had serial car accidents (people running into me) and was told that somehow I needed to slow down and pay attention to life. The Universe has a way of trying to get your attention. It starts small (bicycle dust-up Sunday) then gets progressively bigger (butt-bumping down the stairs). I think I’ll meditate today so that whatever it is, I can acknowledge it, do something about it if necessary and move on. Move on accident free that is.
Number of days since last life accident:

In honor of my own, personal tumble down the stairs, I give you a band I saw perform in Italy some years ago, aptly named “Tumbled Down the Stairs.” Needless to say, I much prefer their music than the literal translation of their band name…
And of course, here’s one more for the road…
