In Focus Reiki: Your Personal Guide by Des Hynes

Divided into chapters channeling each body area and its common ailments and aches—including those on our pets—and fully illustrated, In Focus Reiki teaches the basics to this increasingly popular practice to reduce stress, depression, anxiety, and physical pain and tap into your inner healer.

Combined from the Japanese words Rei, meaning “God’s wisdom, universal life, or higher power” and Ki, meaning “life force or energy,” reiki is the healing practice of balancing our “universal life energy” around our bodies. Founded in the early twentieth century by Japanese Buddhist monk Mikao Usui with the underlying belief that our bodies have the natural ability to heal, reiki transfers healing energy by using the placement of hands to blocked areas.

The In Focus series applies a modern approach to teaching the classic body, mind, and spirit subjects, using expert authors in their respective fields and featuring relevant visual material to smartly and purposely illustrate key topics within each subject. As a bonus, seven illustrated meditation cards based on reiki principles are also included to give readers a quick, go-to reference guide containing the most important information on the subject, for easy practice and retention.

My Thoughts

This is a great book that touches on all the basics of Reiki. It begins with a short overview of the spiritual healing practice, and goes on to explain the degrees. There are also tips on aura cleansing, chakras, angels and spirit guides, and many other aspects connected to this practice. Throughout the book there are graphics to help understand the steps involved.

I am certified in Reiki II, but fell out of practice when I was raising my children. This book was a great refresher on the basics, but also provided me with some awesome new tips as well. It's a great addition to my library on spiritual healing, and I would recommend it to anyone who is interested in learning the basics of Reiki, brushing up old skills, or learning some new aspects.

 My Thoughts

Everyone knows I'm a new age mom. I love yoga, practice Reiki, and follow a pagan path. There are a variety of rituals and practices I perform in my home that first require cleansing, both of my body and sacred space. Using a smudge stick has always been one of my favorite methods for cleansing, but with babies in the house, I don't like to create too much smoke. Vanessa OM has created a line of aura and space energy cleansers that are the perfect substitute.  Just a few spritzes and you can remove all the negative energies that have built up around you, enabling you to complete your work with a brighter and more positive outlook.

The cleansers are made using only natural essences, oils, alcohol and distilled water as well as pure quartz. The result is a aromatherapy formula that increases your vibration. I have used the aura cleanser prior to Reiki sessions, and found it helped people relax and made the sessions go much smoother. The Space Energy Cleanser was the perfect way to cleanse my sacred space prior to rituals.  The light fragrance is refreshing and the whole atmosphere seems to lift as soon as it settles. It's a wonderful way to remove the negative energy from your life in a pure and natural way. Its easy to spray whenever you feel the need, and makes your whole day much more positive.I would recommend it to anyone.

Holiday Gift Guide - Soulillume Reiki-Infused Manifestation Bath Salts - Review & #Giveaway

There's nothing better than a calming soak in the tub with bath salts, especially if those salts come from Soulillume. Each blend of Soulillume bath salts are made with only all-natural materials including Organic Essential Oils, Organic Herbs, Organic Flowers, Organic/Wild Seaweed and Himalayan Salt. But there is something extra in this product that you aren't going to find in any store bought items. Every batch of Soulillume is infused with the healing energies of Reiki.

If you aren't familiar with Reiki, it's a natural form of energy healing.  Every ingredient in these bath salt blends has its own unique healing property. Reiki is a positive form of energy that is channeled from the designer into the salts to help clear blocks on the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual levels and balance the chakras.

 I received a jar of the Manifest Love bath salts to try out and I absolutely love them. The large 16oz bottle is a generous portion that will last for quite some time if used sparingly. Inside you'll find soothing salts as well as large pieces of flowers. The aroma is simply delicious and is only gets stronger once everything is dissolved into the water. Seeing the flower petals floating in the water adds to the luxury. But its the way you feel after soaking that is the true miracle. These bath salts do more than simply relax sore muscles. The natural healing energies of the ingredients, coupled with the Reiki energy, provide an invigorating lift in your spirits. And remember that Love isn't all about romance. There is also self-love and if you are feeling down or need a confidence boost, these salts are a gentle and inspiring lift for your soul.
