Mind, Body, and Spirit

I've had the privilege of sharing my Reiki healing with several members of our community. I've been invited to teach once more, but this time, I feel compelled to deviate from the traditional Reiki origin story and infuse it with my personal elements. Can it still be considered Reiki? We will begin there and connect with that higher power. Indeed, that source is perceived differently by the many who engage in the healing arts. There isn't a definitive right or wrong approach to accessing that energy. It must resonate with you.

I will pay homage to Mikao Usui's enlightenment. As a practitioner of fiber magic, I feel drawn to augment the practice with colors, aromas, and textures.

The chakras are naturally receptive to such enhancements.

Color healing is widely recognized among many seekers and healers. Aromatherapy has gained popularity and acceptance due to its potent effects. While texture may not be as well-known, the sensation of a cashmere sweater or a plush teddy bear can indeed alter one's mood and elevate the spirits.

I have yet to fully delve into the realm of crystal healing, although I incorporate beads into my dolls and bags to represent specific correspondences. I create Chakra dolls featuring small pockets designed to hold crystals over the targeted area. There's a wealth of knowledge to uncover in this healing domain, and it's a new avenue of study for me to embark on. Crystals relate to vibrations, which ties into my chanting practice. I've been experimenting with anagrams to vocalize concepts, inspired by the anagram ROYGBIV, which I use to recall the colors of the rainbow.

I've associated colors with specific attributes: Red for Passion, Orange for Happiness, Yellow for Intellect, Green for Nurture, Blue for Communication, Indigo for Awareness, and Violet for the Divine. The resulting anagram is PHINCAD. Chanting P-H-I-N-C-A-D resonated with me, particularly when the 'nnnnnn' transitioned into a hard 'C'. It's still a work in progress, adding another layer of intention to my healing process. Similar to my Fiber Magick, where layers of intention form a vivid image of the desired outcome. Let's integrate this and treat ourselves—and then others—to a nurturing bath of healing love and light. Could this evolve into Fiber Magick Healing? Stay tuned and Stay Crafty
