Reiki and Attunements



Hi All,


Today is the New Moon!  Don’t forget to fit your ritual in.








An interesting topic came up this week. Reiki and Attunements. When one becomes a student of Reiki the Reiki Master passes an Attunement, usually three to the student done in levels usually with 30 days in between to allow the body to adjust to the energy. Level 3 is a choice as it takes the student to the Master level and allows them to teach Reiki and give attunements to others. Level 2 is the practitioner level in which one can practice giving Reiki to others, pets, and plants. 

Okay, that’s the basics. So the question was brought up can one have more than one attunement to the same level? My answer is “yes”, however it is a personal choice. I have a friend who is a Master in England and has been trained in the traditional methods. She teaches her students that one should have attunements throughout one’s life because they are a blessing from the Master. I have experienced a re-attunement to the Master Level and it has made my abilities stronger. Again it’s a personal choice so there is no real right or wrong answer.

Next ~ Online Master vs In-person Master?

Again depends. A traditional view it should always be in person. 

Now here is my two cents. I’ve gotten attuned via both. Online I found a great master and through online I also found another amazing master for some other energy classes who has been a longtime friend ever since. Now it can go the other way and you can get bad online teachers. I’ve had one of those too. I suggest asking the online Master plenty of questions and make sure there is a follow up session where you can ask questions about what you may have seen, heard or felt during the attunement and the process. You can ask if they do distance Reiki sessions so you could book one to see what it would be like.

In-person Master same advice. Maybe make a session with him or her to sample the person’s Reiki session. Then maybe ask if you can sit in on a class. 

Always educate yourself. Start reading about Reiki; books and the Reiki Magazine. Now the Reiki Magazine by William Lee Rand is put out by a traditionalist, but it has some amazing articles and how to begin Reiki, not just to your clients, but making it part of your life and using it in your daily routines.

I always hand out cards and tell people to contact me with questions if they have any. I will always do my best to answer or point you in the right direction.

So there is a little on Reiki this week. Thursday more ghost stories!

Have an amazing week!

Blessings All,
Wendy

Ghost Story

With October being the month of Halloween and a time around this amazing night that the veil between the worlds thins out so loved ones can cross over, expect the unexpected.

Ghost and Graves Tour

One year a friend and I gathered a bunch of co-workers from our day job and went on the St. Paul Ghost and Graves Tour. The tour took us through the old cemeteries to become educated in Victorian graves and their symbolism, as well as history. While looking at a huge stone, I walked over the grave of a man and instantly felt sick to my stomach. Well one of our guides noticed and took my elbow and asked if I was okay? I told him no I wasn’t as I was feeling sick all of a sudden. I asked him to walk me out to the road. He and I talked a little as to what brought it on. As we walked near a tree and another grave, I felt a rope go around my neck and pull me back. I grabbed for my neckline and threw the rope off. I mentally asked that the man with the rope be escorted from my presence. When we arrived at the gate and stepped out to the road everything that was following us and bugging me left. I didn’t get on the bus right away but asked my friend to stay outside a minute and help me clear and ground. As we got on the bus the other tour guide asked if I would share the story since we were on a ghost tour.

With as many places I have been with history and activities rarely do I come across a ghost that is harmful. The ones that are angry I leave alone if they do not want to communicate. My thoughts are if I’m walking around pissed off I most likely don’t want to talk to anyone I don’t know. I respect the ghost I am in the presence of and will not engage if I feel like I shouldn’t. I will ask if the ghost would like to communicate with someone else in my group. It’s just like communicating with the living. You wouldn’t go into someone else’s space and randomly yell stuff at them to anger them to get them to talk or show you they are present would you?

There is the chance maybe the ghost doesn’t like me as a person when they meet me. And that’s cool. One time I was with a person investigating and the ghost kept making a loud rap on the walls here and there as we walked through the upstairs. When we stopped in a room we put a voice recorder down and I took out divining rods. The rods will cross for a “yes” answer and get far apart for a “no”. We started asking basic stuff like do you want to communicate with us. Will you talk to Jamie (name changed) since she can’t here you and I can? I got a quick “no” with the rods. We asked why? And I got an “I don’t like her” in my mind. I said okay and we continued. When we listened to the voice recorder you could hear the word “bitch” after the question why?  We laughed so hard. Well there you go, the dead don’t always like the living right off the bat. Just like when I meet someone I might not like them instantly or vice-versa.

Only one time did I ever get a little freaked out. I was working out of a salon and another Reiki practitioner and I were working on a client together. Deep into our session we heard footsteps on the floor above us. Then all the sudden the door to the upstairs flew open and hits the wall then shuts. We looked at each other and I said, “I’m going to ask the guides to stand guard”. Well we start up again and all of a sudden a few minutes later it happens again. So I went out and opened the door and yelled up the stairs, “Hey we are working down here for this person’s highest good. Please stay upstairs until we are done. We should only be a little longer then you can have the place to yourself.” It didn’t happen again, but it freaked me a little. 

More stories next week! My goal is to get a little more intense as we get closer to Halloween and include some pictures from investigations.

Until next week. Blessings All.

How Full Moon Energy can affect you



Hi All, Happy Monday!

This week we are going to talk a little about the full moon and the eclipse, and the energy and how it is affecting us all that know we are energy people and those who may not yet understand they are energy people.

Last Sunday September 27th, 2015 was the full moon and the eclipse. Now I didn’t give much thought to this energy wise. I mean I did my full moon ritual but really didn’t think it affected me much until I talked with some energy sensitive people this weekend. Apparently, the moon affected me by being tired, riding an energy rollercoaster of being almost hyper to just flat out I just want to sleep. On top of this my ability to focus and multitask was shorter than normal. Headaches may have been another side effect.

This weekend while talking to a Reiki practitioner she said she felt bouts of depression, anxiety, a disconnect feeling and being ungrounded. On top of all this she felt a ton of past life trauma come through which caused a feeling of going through an anxiety attack.

So if you’ve been feeling this or just plain out of sorts I suggest grounding your energy. Carry grounding stones with you can help. Stones that will help you ground are hematite, onyx, red jasper, any stone black, red or silver.

I’ve been asked some real good questions this weekend by some people. I’d like to share them because I’m sure there are some out there with the same questions.

How do I come into contact with my spirit guides and how do I know it’s them?

Meditation. Have the intent to contact your guides. Ask them to give you information about them. Names, times they were alive, etc. Then when you are done with meditation use a different method to validate your information. A pendulum can help you with this. You can make one by using a ring on a chain or some weight on a string. The next time you meditate ask them for validation. They will expect this from you and not get upset. 

What’s my totem animal?

You can find out what your animal totem is by, again, meditation. Set the intent for your meditation to meet your animal totem.

How do I ground?

Well I think we’ve covered this but here it is.
Visualize yourself as a tree, your branches reaching up tall to the sky. Your body turns into the trunk of the tree and your feet turn into your roots going into mother earth as deep as you are tall. Now pull in the universal white light in through your branches down your trunk and out through your roots and into mother earth so that she can recycle it and send it back to the universe. If you are feeling a bit dizzy after this then pull up red light from the center of mother earth and bring it up through your roots, trunk, and out your branches to the universe. This should balance your energy.

October 23rd is a Beginner’s Ghost Investigation class with an investigation in Minneapolis after class. Call the Enchanted Boutique at 651-600-3769 for more information and to book your spot. https://www.facebook.com/enchantedboutiquesmn?fref=ts

Thriller Thursday



Hi All,
Welcome to the Thursday edition of Mystic Monday where we talk ghost stories. If you have an experience or a story you’d like to share please email me at intuitivewendy@gmail.com.
Just a reminder for our Mystic Monday group, it looks like Sundays will be our meeting day and I’m figuring out a schedule. 



Well this week isn’t so much a ghost story as it is a crossed over loved one story.

When I do a reading and your goal is to communicate with a crossed over loved one, it’s not a “for sure” thing they will show up to talk. I will say I’ve never been disappointed. When I start a session I like to start with a simple angel card reading and then see who from the other side shows up.
I had a client with a few people that had crossed over that wanted to present themselves to the client. Now I want to say that some loved ones can communicate just like I am seeing and talking with you and some, well, I get pictures of what they want to convey with my third eye and it’s my job to describe what I am seeing to you and your job is to figure it out. I will say that when the ball gets rolling the more information you share, the stronger the crossed over loved one becomes with giving you information back. 

Okay let’s get back to the story. I had a dad his daughter sit at the table one night. They wanted to talk to the son that had crossed over recently. When they sat down I had a hard time breathing. Then I had to actually excuse myself from the table and step away as I had a coughing fit. Once I cut cords and grounded myself I went back to the table. I told them I was sorry I don’t know what had come over me but my chest felt like there was an elephant sitting on it and I couldn’t breathe. I had the picture of a steering wheel in my chest. They started to tear up and the dad said, “He’s here”. He had been killed in an accident and the steering wheel was in fact stuck in his chest and that was how he died. Then as we talked about some good times they had had together, the sister felt him mess with her leg that she had broken prior to the reading. The crossed over brother did so in a way that only he would have when he was alive and picking on her.

The day my brother became a believer:

 I’m sure my brother will chew me out for this because it is personal but….

A year ago our favorite uncle passed away. I can say that without hurting anyone’s feelings because our uncle was our mom’s brother and he and the two of us were very close when my brother and I were growing up. At family events my uncle had more fun with all of his nieces and nephews than he did sitting at the adult table for holiday dinners. When he died and we went to the visitation I didn’t expect him to appear, but he did and he was strong. He was standing by the urn and he let me and my brother have our crying session. Then I looked to the urn and he popped out to the side of it and stood there. He told me to tell my brother “blah blah”. So I did. We walked away to the back of the room so as not to hold up the line. My sister-in-law came to me later to tell me my brother now believed as I had told him word for word a conversation he had had with our uncle the last time we had seen him and I was not present when the conversation took place. The rest of the night we hung out at the urn and carried on like the three of us would have at any family event. Poking fun at each other and laughing over the entire situation as we would have any other event. It was strange, yet the experience brought peace to the three of us. I did have messages for family that I passed along. I have some still that I wait for a time when those that need to hear will when the time is right. 

Where was I going with all this…lol…your crossed over loved ones will present in many ways. Your job when you see someone like me, is to figure out the information you are being given. I can’t always do that for you. Most times while you and I are talking, your loved one will tell me what it is you need to know and it will be like I hear them, just as I hear you.

Sometimes though it can be a picture to verify who is with me. Recently a woman came into the shop and wanted a reading. A man gave me the picture of a Harley that changed colors. It went from dark to light and back again. I said, “You know, I don’t know why but he is showing me his Harley and it had big handle bars and it changes colors. It goes form dark to light and back again.” She started to chuckle and said he painted it a different color almost weekly.

In one reading—one of my favorites—I was reading for a group who wanted to talk to their mom. And elderly woman came through to me and showed me her hands that were all knotted up with arthritis. She said, “Tell them dearie, that my hands are like yours and no more pain.” I told the group the vision I was given and the words she said. They all started reaching for tissues at the same time.
When you try to reach out and communicate with a medium or by yourself, don’t have any expectation of how you will get a response. It will come and you will know it when it does. You can ask them to verify their response. They won’t get upset and they will more than not expect you to.

Have an amazing week All!
