Mother Mary and the Rockettes: A Nativity Story
Working at Radio City Music Hall during the Christmas Spectacular was a thrilling experience, a dream come true. As I passed through the golden stage door, sheer exhilaration welled up from somewhere inside me, a portal of childhood aspirations and wishes. The energetic imprint of history and tradition echoed through its halls. Both the job and the Music Hall were enormous in so many ways: cavernous, endless, and weighty…
Just For Today: Releasing Worry
“True happiness is to enjoy the present without anxious dependence on the future.” —Seneca the Younger, Letters to Lucilius, Letter 2, trans. Richard M. Gummere (1917) Worry creeps into our awareness when we turn our focus away from the present moment, toward the future—a… Continue Reading “Just For Today: Releasing Worry”
“The Reiki Sound Bath,” from REIKI NEWS MAGAZINE, Fall 2023
In my experience, sound therapy has been a perfect companion to Reiki. My Reiki sessions will often incorporate voice, singing bowls, tuning forks, chimes, or even
gongs, as the sound waves assist in the release of blockages and restore energetic flow through the four lower bodies: physical, etheric, mental, and emotional. Learn how Reiki Masters can attune their instruments to send Reiki frequencies out for vibrational healing.

“Being in Service to Reiki” (Published in REIKI NEWS MAGAZINE, Fall 2022)
Clients and students will often share they are on a spiritual path of clearing out the chaotic energies in their lives. This undertaking is admirable and
certainly very desirable, particularly at this time. However, they often conclude their intention with a statement that goes something like, “I am releasing everything and everyone that no longer serves me.” I am puzzled by this statement and its implication that we are here to be served. This concept has led me to an inner investigation of the nature of service within my Reiki practice.
“Here and Now: Reiki Grounding and the Earth Star Chakra,” published in REIKI NEWS MAGAZINE, Winter 2021
During a self-healing session and meditation a few years ago, I was shown the lovely rainbow spectrum of the chakras and was clearly told, “This is the un-healed system.” I was reminded that here, on Earth, we are in a lower vibrational state, a state of separation and that this is not the Higher Truth. I was asked to teach this differently….
Holding Space: Forgiving the Small Stuff
Reflecting on the infinite number of times I am loosened from my center by the gaze of judgment, the hurting beings around me, the indignation of co-shoppers, the rage of co-travelers on life’s roadways, the feeling-soup in which I myself find to be simmering as I read news headlines or try to make my way right through queues, questions, and quandaries, I prayed for assistance…
Higher Love: Alchemy of the Heart
The Way of our own Ascension may very well be in the journey between two chakras, the solar plexus and the heart. To live in the energy of Christ Consciousness, Buddha Consciousness, Divine Presence, or Love, the individual will dive down into the lower chakras and locate the Presence of Love, wherever it has been residing. Raise that love, and bring it Home, where Divine Love reigns, in the Heart.
