Happy Little Things

Reiki. It's awesome. Love it. Big fan. During a Reiki session, we lay down, get comfortable, and then welcome all of the good energy into our system promoting healing on all levels. This is the way Reiki sessions progress 99.9% of the time. BUT... Reiki can be used in so many other ways. When you book a session as a client, or when you send Reiki as a practitioner, you can be creative in how you want the Reiki session to go and where you want the energy to be directed. Here are my Top 5 Unique Reiki Sessions! 1....

I have a sneaky suspicion that the Universe is laughing...

I'm sure you've heard this before: We are made of stardust. Beautiful statement. Sounds lovely and far-fetched and somewhat magical. Not only that but it's totally true! We are indeed composed of elements created in supernovas. This statement is, in fact, a perfect meeting of something magical that is also scientifically correct. Cool.
