Happy Little Things

In typical Danielle fashion, I made an appointment for an Akashic Records session without knowing what the Akashic Records were. I had gone through Reiki I and II trainings and was looking at the menu of offerings from my Reiki teacher. "Akashic Records" was listed as a type of appointment you could make with her. I thought to myself, "Well...haven't done that one yet so why not?" And that's how I ended up sitting at the table in my teacher's office thinking to myself hmmm...what did I get myself into? My teacher explained everything to me, gave me a sheet...

Once in a while, someone will ask me what made me decide to get into Reiki in the first place. I kinda hate that question because, to be honest, I don't know the full answer. (Or...I know the answer but it seems a little squishy. Intangible.)

In my opinion and experience working with myself and others, there...

(Read blog post here.)  As you start to become more aware of the chakras and their characteristics, you will start to notice when they start to swing out of balance or alignment. You might feel it on a physical level. Perhaps you lose your voice right before you have to give a big speech (unbalanced throat chakra). It's possible you will feel chakra energy on an emotional level. Perhaps...

Every time we enter the Akashic Records, we are hoping to receive guidance that will help us on our journey. To that end, it makes sense to do what we can in order to maximize the amount of guidance received! There are a few tips and tricks to keep in mind in order to do so. 1. Talk back to the Guides. Because this is such a cool (but perhaps different) type of thing to do, many people think that they have to sit still and simply accept whatever the Guides tell them. This is not the case! An Akashic...
