 About this Free E-Book
The material contained in this document is taken from the GenX Reiki Instructional Manual that i
recently wrote and compiled to accompany individuals that i will be initiating as practitioners of reiki.
This will be a huge honor and a milestone in my life. The writing of this document has taken on the feel
of a research paper and writing it brought back memories of writing my graduate thesis in graduate
school! As with all research papers i have received information and quotes from other sources. As a way
of formally siting these sources without using the formal notation structure i was trained to use, i have
decided to site my sources by changing the font in which quoted text appears. I feel this breaks up the
monotony of reading such a long document, and makes the handout itself more visually appealing. A
complete source list is found at the end of this document.

In addition, before you enter the world of Energy Work, possibly for the rst time, i would like to
comment on the use of the word i throughout this document. In American schools, early in the
education system, we are taught a simple grammar rule that whenever we use the word I in a sentence
we should capitalize it. I followed this rule for most of my life, throughout my schooling, and i took into
corporate world and used it when i wrote scholarly papers for conferences and journal publications.

Then, sometime around 2009, around the time my journey into energy work and spirituality began, i just
stopped capitalizing the i when i wrote. For me, it was an unconscious choice. It was just something
that i noticed happening when i typed. Even though my hands had been trained to do so, i no longer
capitalized the i. For a short time i tried to correct this and it led to a lot of additional time editing
documents. In the end, i decided to just let it be. As i witnessed the small, but obvious, change in my
writing style, i began to contemplate what could have been the cause of the switch.

A)er some thought i determined it was some sort of switch in my subconscious. Many people on a
spiritual journey, at one point or another, come into contact with their own divinity, even if just for a
few seconds. During these moments one starts to experience herself as something much greater than the
physical self we have come to talk about as I, always with a capital. When one experiences their
divinity they become aware of who I really is, the God-self, the energy that ows through the small i.
All knowing. All everything. For me, i think my subconscious felt that once i really experienced myself
with a capital I it no longer felt appropriate for the everyday i to be capitalized... at the very least, this is
what i imagine happened on some level of my being. I supposed another possibility is that one day i just
became lazy and no longer felt like reaching out to the shi) key!

Regardless of the reason why, i feel called to share this story because throughout this text you will notice
that i have not capitalized the word i unless it appears at the beginning of a sentence, cuz thats just
good grammar ;-). While reading this document some people will not even notice the change, while
others will notice right away. Some may even nd it bothersome. At rst it may look strange but i am
condent that with time you will get used to it. Please know that i appreciate your understanding of my
choice to write in this manner. I am following my inner guidance and, once again, it has guided me away
from the norm.

Finally, i would like to take a moment to thank all of the countless teachers who guided me into and
through my journey into energy work. Specically, a huge thank you to Jasmine Miller for creating the
Womans Spiritual Pursuit on meetup.com. This weekly gathering really was my entry in the spiritual
world. In many ways i owe everything i know to this group. Seeds were planted, and small bits of
information were shared. I took these seeds of knowledge, fostered them, and with experience and time,
they grew to the point where i can now share them! I would also like to thank Becca Campbell, also from
the meetup, for being the rst person to introduce me to the art of reiki. Thank you Mystery woman
from Reiki Doorways for my Usui Levels 1 and 2 Initiations, Rose De Dan from Wild Reiki and Shamanic
healing for my Usui Level 3 Initiation, and Ee Blasini from Energetically Divine for my introduction and
initiations into Kundalini Reiki. I am forever grateful to you for passing these gi)s onto me.

My Reiki Story
My Introduction to Reiki
I think reiki, pendulums, and crystals are fabulous tools for personal growth and self-discovery and i hope
one day they will all be mainstream again. I appreciate that currently, in 2013, these topics are still
relatively undiscussed. In our mainstream modern society spirituality is o)en limited to what goes on
inside a church. Words like divinity are not used to describe ourself, only something much greater than,
and outside ourself. Though these words, and through my story, i hope i will inspired you to see that
although these practices are dierent, they can be fun an excited. Although working with energy can
sometime be fun, like playing a game, it can also be sacred. Many of these energy practices date back to
ancient advanced civilizations and beyond. For a time this information was lost and used by only those
who sought out the information. These people were o)en called witches and heretics. The power that
these people were able to exert was not easily understood by the uninformed and it was easier to outcast
these people rather than learn from them. At times in my journey i have felt like the outcast, the good
witch, dabbling in practices that seem strange to my friends and family. Doing thing that children do, like
collecting rocks and talking to bugs. Communicate with entities i cant see, i can only sense, calling
them spirit guides an giving them funny names. I have been experiencing my process as a creative
process. An unfolding which i never expected.

I rst encountered Reiki in the spring of 2009 while working as an engineer in Seattle, WA. A few
months before, i experienced what i would call a spiritual awakening a)er which, i found myself on a
quest for some answers. I found myself on the popular activities website meetup.com. Ill be honest, at
the time i had no clue what i was looking for but i knew it was spiritual in nature. On the site i found a
group call A Womans Spiritual Pursuit and it appealed to me immediately. I dont remember exactly
what the description for the group was but i think it mention that we would be learning and talking
about things like: Auras, Chakras, Energy Work, Tarot, etc. I dont even know if Reiki was listed. At the
time i knew next to nothing about any of these things. I maybe had heard of an aura, but had no
experience sensing what one would be, or seeing one. I had never really put any real thought into the
idea of an aura. I had never heard of a chakra, and i was skeptical about tarot. I showed up at my rst
meet-up and the topic of discussion was numerology. I loved it because... well, the proof was in the
pudding! I was able to look at my numerology chart, which is said to act as a map of ones life, and it was
clear. My chart perfectly described the course of my life up until that point. It very clearly marked the
changes at age 30 that i was currently experiencing.

I decided to go back to the meet-up each week. Each week was a dierent topic. I remember one of the
weeks early on we got photos of our aura taken. The class started with a little chakra mediation, which
was completely new to me. We sat in a circle and put our hands over each one of our chakras, one by
one. While focusing on an individual chakra we imagined a color and made a sound like Om, but a
dierent sound for each chakra. I remember feeling a little uncomfortable. My main discomfort was
making sounds. Weird sounds that i didnt understand, LAM, HAM, RAM! But, i did it anyway because
something intuitively told me there was something to it. At the time i was not able to sense energy like i
can now. When i would try to feel a chakra in my body, of even see a color in my mind, i couldnt do it.
In short, i spent most of the mediation thinking about how weird this all was. But i did it. :-)

As the weeks went on a small little group formed and we all bonded a little. The meetups got less formal
and became weekly tea time with like minded women. Each week a dierent woman would share her
gi)s. Eventually we got around to Reiki, another thing i had never heard of. The woman who taught me
about reiki was a freelance writer and reiki master. She was around my age, mid 30s. She had a nice little
house with her husband just outside of Seattle in Burien, WA. One weekend she invited us over for a
reiki demo. We all arrived, had some tea, chatted a bit, and then she started explaining to us the basics of

4
reiki. She had one of us sit with our palms out and she sent us reiki from a foot away and asked if we
could feel any sensations. I remember feeling something... a little tickle maybe? But i was also not
convinced. Maybe just thinking about my hands was creating the sensation; or, maybe there was no
sensation but my mind was creating it because i felt like i should feel something... confusing huh?
Regardless of the what or how, i thought i felt something. Then she did a little reiki on each one of us.
I think she could tell i was a thinker so she suggested she reiki my head. I agreed. She hovered her hands
a few inches above my head and started doing reiki. I dont remember feeling anything but she described
what she felt. She said if feels like ping pong balls, meaning that i had a lot of thoughts constantly
going back and forth. I could totally see that, so i laughed. When i laughed she said it was like squiggly
waves. I was open to it. I didnt think she was lying to me about what she felt, and what she was saying
intuitively made sense to me (although at the time i didnt use words like intuitively ;-). So, i decided to
be open to it and just see what, if anything, would happen.

Something happened. Like i said, i dont recall feeling much that day but i denitely noticed something
the the next day at work! At the time i was an engineer with Boeing, working in research and
technology. Most of what we worked on were technologies for the future, that would be implemented
5-15 years from then. We worked with a lot of universities because those types of institution work with
these kinds of relatively undeveloped technologies. During this particular meeting there were a few
people in town from Texas A&M University. A few professors and some graduate students, plus us
Boeing engineers. Lots of PhDs and Masters degrees. Intellectuals. Ill be honest and tell you that by
this time i had more or less checked out of my engineering job.... or i was at least on my way towards
checking out, even if i didnt know it at the time. I loved the people i worked with, and more
importantly, i loved their passion for the work we were doing. Unfortunately, i didnt have the passion.
With the exception of me, the people (men) in this meeting had a lot of passion for the topic at hand. I
think is was carbon-ber panels.

It was a fairly informal meeting. More of a brainstorming session i would say. One guy at the white
erase board, others throwing out ideas. This was where i started to feel something that i easily attributed
to the reiki. Its dicult to describe in words, but i started to sense the energy in the room. All the ideas,
boom, boom, boom. The feeling was a bit overwhelming... and amusing. I was interested in it. I had
absolutely no real interest in the actual topic of the meeting. I felt like i was standing outside the
meeting really observing the transfer back and forth of knowledge AKA thought AKA energy. I also
remember seeing a lot of ego. One guy gives an idea and another guy has to dissect, analyze, and
question the idea... and give his better idea. I feel like i sat in this more energetically aware state for
about 20 minutes before nally i just excused myself and went to the bathroom. I got a drink of water,
wandered the hall, and thought about what i just experienced. I had a smile on my face. Amused would
be the best description of how i felt. A)er a few minutes i went back in and nished sitting through the
meeting (it was a short one, probably only an hour and a half in total). I was anxious to talk to my reiki
friend about my experience. Luckily she was on facebook when i got back to my desk and we chatted a
bit. See agreed that my experience was normal and that the reiki was opening me up to a greater
awareness of energy.

A)er that experience i went back to my reiki friends house, where she had a little healing room, and i
received a full reiki session. I just laid on the table and she went over all the dierent parts of my body.
Again, i dont really think i felt very much, maybe a little warm or tingling at times. At times throughout
the session she would tell me what she felt. She said she felt a lot more when she was doing reiki on the
le) side of my body than the right. She explained that the right side is the masculine/thinking side and it
is more likely to resist the reiki energy. I remember she said is was like the right side was saying Hey,
what is this? I dont know about this... At this time i was already having thoughts that i wanted to be
attuned to reiki. Im not totally sure why. If i had to describe my thoughts around getting initiated into
reiki i guess they would have been along the lines of Well, i had reiki and i denitely felt something that
seemed interesting to me. Something that excited me! Historically, it is used for healing and can only be
used for good. Anyone can be attuned to reiki. Why wouldnt i want to learn reiki!! Now i can also say
my spirit was called to it, but i wouldnt have used those words at the time.

5
My Usui Reiki Level 1 Initiation
The next step in my reiki journey was to nd a reiki master to attune me. By the summer of 2009 i had
found one, on meetup.com! I put the word reiki in the search option and up popped a meetup called
Reiki Doorways. As it turned out, the following week there was an information session about Reiki
Level 1. There were about 4 of us that showed up. The woman covered the basics of reiki, did a little reiki
demo, and then oered us all the attunement. It seemed oddly simple to me. I expected there to be
more of a process, but there wasnt. Anyone who wanted the initiation could receive it, and she was
doing reiki level 1 for free. She explained it was because she really valued the power and benets of reiki
and she wanted it to be available to anyone willing to show up.

The attunement process was a sort of mediation i guess. We each sat in a chair and she had us sit up
straight, close our eyes, open our palms, and relax. Then she did the initiation which was somewhat
ritualistic, but also the process she had been taught i suppose. She moved around our bodies, made
symbols in the air, blew into the back of our necks. Yes, it was a little strange, but i was open to it. Again,
i found it more interesting and intriguing than weird. I felt a call to it. Our eyes were supposed to be
closed but i peaked a little! About a half hour later it was ocial, i was a practitioner of reiki. We were
sent home with a 4 page Reiki 1 packet with hand positions and instructed to practice. I practiced here
and there. A little on myself. A little on my dog. I saw things happening too. Things i lightly call reiki
miracles.

Reiki Miracles #1
My rst Reiki Miracle happened with my dog. He had what is termed leash aggression. Whenever i
would take him on a walk he would bark and be growly and try to pick ghts with other dogs. I
remember one morning i woke up and as i laid in bed getting ready to get out of bed i decided to reiki my
dog. I laid in bed with him for just 5 to 10 minutes doing reiki on him with no thought or expectation of
what the result would be. I just knew it was good for him! A)er i nished i pulled myself out of bed and
we went on our morning walk. It was amazing! I remember walking my dog and at one point another
dog walked right next us. Usually this would have sent my dog into a barking hysteria but not this time.
On this morning we just walked right by the other dog with no reaction what so ever. I was totally
amazed and certain it was because of the reiki! I was ocially a believer!

My Usui Reiki Level 2 Initiation

Somewhere between two weeks and a month a)er i received my Reiki 1 Initiation, i returned to Reiki
Doorways to receive my Reiki Level 2. My level 2 initiation was an a)ernoon class on a weekend. This
time i was the only student. What sticks out to me most about this was her demonstration of distance
reiki. She explained that the distance symbol used in Reiki means no past, no present, no future. What
that means, is that time is a linear construct of the human mind and doesnt really exist in the world of
reiki. You can send reiki to the past, to specic points in time where traumas occurred. You can also send
it to the future to things like job interviews, performances, etc. In my opinion of how the world works,
things that happened in what we call our past, are currently also happening Now, in other realms of
existence. It works like the buttery eect. As we heal events that happened in the past, which are
also happening Now, we heal ourself, now. It is a complicated concept to grasp mentally. It must be
experienced to be fully understood, and even then, there is much that cannot be understood.

On this day, my reiki teacher told me to imagine a time in the past that i would like to send healing
energy to. She didnt specify what it had to be. At the time i was working with some pretty heavy
energies in my personal life and i decided to use the distance reiki to work on things i was already
working on. I had her send the distance reiki back to myself when i was around 6 years old, when i had
rst experienced some sexual trauma at the hands of a boy a few years older than me. At times i would
have described the experiences i was sending distance reiki to as simply innocent childhood explorations

6
gone a little too far. At this point in my life i was in a non-judgmental place of exploring how i felt about
it, and considering the ways in which it had eected me and my development. I dont know that i would
have labeled it as a trauma as much as experiences that shaped the course of my life, and were worthy
of some love and attention.

As my teacher sent me distance reiki she asked me to imagine the time in my life that i wanted to send
healing energy to. She may have instructed me to imagine the situation happening dierently, but i
honestly cant remember. I do know that at that point in time i was horrible at visualization, i can tell
you that it still isnt my strong point. Even though i was sensing things enough for me to know i liked
reiki, i still didnt get it or have any idea how it all worked. So, while i was supposed to be imaging this
healing happening im sure my mind was wandering. Thinking things like this is kinda weird, i wonder
how much longer this meditation will be, etc. What was present was my hearts sincere intention to
receive healing, even if my mind was distracted and wandering. :-)

I believe the session and visualization lasted about 10 minutes a)er which, she asked me how i felt. I sat
with it for a few seconds, felt my body, and determined that i did feel something. Something dierent
with regards to my experience. Maybe it was just a small shi) in my attitude and perception. I would say
i felt better, but at the same time i was aware that maybe i only felt better because i thought i should
feel better, because i had just received reiki! Either way, a)er i received the healing and a bit more
instructions, i received my Level 2 Reiki Initiation. I was sent home with a 15ish page packet of
information and told to practice.

Practice i did, for about 2 years! Over the next two years i practiced reiki pretty much only on myself and
on animals, but i was doing so fairly regularly. I denitely was seeing physical results as well. Strangely,
o)en i would come in contact with large, strange looking bugs who were nearing the end of their life.
They would be turned on their backs, tired from struggling to ip over and carry-on, or die. I would o)en
nd myself ipping them over and performing reiki on them to help them gain their strength.
Sometimes it was clear they werent going to make it and i would use the reiki more to bless their spirits
before they passed on. Then i would put it in a so), out of the way place. Some of these events were
very strange and memorable.

Reiki Miracles #2
One time, while living at a retreat center in Hawaii, i came across a large caterpillar who was being
attacked to death by some sort of army of ants! It was kind of an odd, and horrible, thing to see this
large plump beautiful caterpillar wiggling to save its life while a swarm of ants tired to devour it! I
decided to intervene. I cleared the ants away and picked up the caterpillar. It was a pale green, almost
white, and it was not able to hold itself up. I started to administer reiki and immediately color returned
to the little creature. I could see the blood start to ow more inside its little body, and eventually it was
strong enough to stand on its own. I think the reiki help heal it on a physical level and also, i imagine
there was some sort of shock involved with being attacked by an army of ants! I suspect the reiki also
would help relieve this stress, which would then allow the physical healing to happen.

Over this time period i also witnessed mini-miracle healings on myself. Whenever i would be sick or
have an injury (pulled muscle, cut, etc) i would do reiki on it throughout the course of my healing. In my
experience, everything healed faster then i would expect it to when i was using reiki. A pulled muscle
that would normally take a week and a half to heal would be back to normal in 4 days. The duration and
severity of my seasonal colds, etc decreased dramatically when i did reiki. In fact, i was starting to trust it
enough to start practicing on other people.

When i returned from Hawaii in the summer of 2011 i started thinking more and more about getting my
Level 3 and Master reiki attunements. As i began to casually seek out a person to attune me to the next
level i found that what people were asking was out of my price range, and o)en the Master level training

7
required an ongoing long-term commitment to study with that Reiki Master. However, in divine timing,
found the person who would attune me to Ushi Level 3.

My Usui Reiki Level 3 Initiation

Just before meeting my Level 3 Reiki Master i had made a new friend who was into a lot of the things i
was, namely Reiki. She was also a level 2 who was looking for her next attunement and she had actually
found a woman named Rose De Dan who ran Wild Reiki and Shamanic Healing in Seattle, Wa. It just so
happen that she was oering a Level 3 attunement in the next few weeks so, a)er scoping out the Wild
Reiki website, my friend i and decided to do it together!

Here i would like to note that o)en the Level 3 and the Master attunement are given at the same time.
For me, the fact that this initiation was only doing the level 3, without the master training, was exactly
what i wanted. I was ready to receive more reiki energy but i didnt necessarily feel like i needed the
ability to attune others... yet... it was also more aordable because it didnt include the Master Initiation.

My Level 3 Usui Attunement was much like my rst two. It was about a three hour a)ernoon session. I
believe there were four of us. We all did a guided meditation, Rose discussed the Master symbol we
would be getting, and then one by one we each received the attunement. It was a beautiful ceremony,
a)er which, i was sent on my way with a certicate and a few pages of written material.

My Self Healing with Reiki

Soon a)er i got my level 3 initiation my life started to take a turn for the more spiritual. About a month
or so a)er the attunement i decided to go on a 7 day silent mediation retreat at Cloud Mountain Retreat
Center just south of Seattle, WA. A)er the mediation retreat i found myself living and volunteering at
the meditation center. I spent two months doing very regular mediation and practicing reiki on myself. I
should note that by this time i had developed of love of crystals and had started using them on myself
with my reiki. In November of 2011 i found myself heading to Peru with a Medicine Woman and a 7 foot
drum for a Workshop called Igniting the Rainbow. It was a 10 day Soul Illumination course. I had met
the presenter, White Eagle, while i was in Hawaii. She has come to the retreat center i was volunteering
at for a drum making workshop that i was lucky to get to participate in. I felt/feel a denite kinship to
White Eagle.

I would described the course i took in Peru as a course in shamanic healing. We learned various
techniques of indigenous people, worked with drums, visited and held ceremonies at sacred sites. It was
a very transformation course where i learned lots of techniques, mostly by observation, replication, then
a little altercation. When i returned to the states i found that many of the things i learned were working
their way into my reiki practice. I was now using a feather wand and smudging more. When i did a reiki
circle i more intentionally called in the 4 directions, o)en times reciting things i had learned about the
energies of each direction. I mixed what seemed like more shamanic practices with my more zen
practice of reiki. I began to call what i did Shamanic Reiki Healing, and i started reaching out more and
performing reiki on other people.

Soon a)er returning from Peru, in the beginning of 2012, i found myself living in Portland, OR. There, i
was trying to come back into balance a)er traveling for the previous twelve months. This is where i
made my rst attempts to create a living as an artist and healer, without the comforts of a Boeing
Engineer salary. I had my heart set on a career as a professional dancer but i was making a salary by
working a handful of small artsy jobs. Teaching Nia. Performing burlesque. Selling my photography and
jewelry. Other freelance photography. At this point in time i was still not condent enough with my
reiki to start advertising and charging money so i started doing it with friends as a trade. I had friends
who were fresh out of yoga training and massage school and were in a similar place of developing skills
and condence in their healing gi)s. I started giving reiki to a massage therapist once a week and i would
receive a massage. I have to be honest, at time i felt like it wasnt an even trade because massage is

8
denitely more physically taxing then reiki; but, my friend was experiencing the benets of my work just
as equally as i was experiencing the benets of her work. This is when i started to really understand the
value of Reiki.

Worlds Collide: Dance and Reiki

Around this time two parts of my world collided: my dance world and my reiki world. On a personal level
these two worlds mixed from the beginning. From my rst initiation i was ALWAYS doing reiki on myself
while i danced, before i danced, a)er i danced! I use reiki from a physical stand point by directing it at
certain muscles that are tight or sore. Reiki by nature is for relaxation and stress reduction so that applies
to the muscles and tendons as well as Ones well-being. I move A LOT of energy via reiki when i dance.
O)en my dance workouts, from my perspective, are movement and music based shamanic healings. I
also use reiki as a means to invite spirits to use my body as a vessel to dance through. Every dance for me
is spiritual because i am calling in larger energies to dance with me, and i feel their presence! I attribute
that, in part, to the reiki!

While living in Portland, in February of 2012, i went to Salt Lake City to audition for So You Think You
Can Dance, a popular American dance talent TV show. I arrived at the audition with my crystals and my
story; which I felt like i was on a mission from the stars to tell! As soon as i told the producers my story
about how i used to be an engineer and now i was being guided by spirits from the Pleiades, their eyes lit
up. Thats entertainment! I called my type of dance Alien Space Dance because it was a mix of many
genres and inspirations, and it couldnt be put into a box. As soon as they heard my story they started
lining me up for the extra producer and host interviews. I will say though, i made it through the rst 2
rounds if the audition without my story. Im not sure what the producers saw in me that compelled
them to give me a golden ticket. While at the time my dance was good, i dont know that is was
outstanding. Im not totally sure why i made it through. Without labeling it as good or bad, i think my
movement was dierent, and i was dierent. I had a buzz cut hair style and was wearing bright pink and
blue leggings and a tank top. I had a little bindy on my forehead. It might have been my movement or
my look, or it might have been my reiki!

Although i didnt discuss reiki, i was doing A LOT of reiki on myself throughout the two days of auditions
and lming. As i said, i felt like i had gone there on a mission and i did not go unprepared! I was scared,
nervous, excited, everything when i went to Salk Lake City because i KNEW without a doubt that i was
going to be featured on the TV show, i just had no clue how it would come to be and that shook me to
the core. I used reiki to maintain my balance and center so that i could just keep moving forward, step by
step. I knew some of the things i was speaking to the producers about seemed outrageous. Spirt Guides
with silly name entering my body and dancing through me. I knew it sounded nuts, but i also knew it
was my experience that i was meant to share with a wide audience. It took a tremendous amount of
courage to put myself out there and i can honestly say i was only able to do it because of all the reiki i
was giving myself to maintain my center. Before leaving for the trip i went to my local crystal shop and
bought 3 dierent kinds of Tigers Eye (creativity, self condence, grounding). During the two days in Salt
Lake City i was constantly doing reiki on myself and the stones, calling on my guides to guide me. To give
me the words, give me the movements, to give me the strength.

A)er lming i returned to Portland and went about my life. To be honest, at this point in my life i was
quiet miserable despite a tremendous amount of faith in the path i was following. It was then that i
really started intentionally working with the Law of Attraction and the teachings of Abraham Hicks. My
life was chaotic and unstable and i was unhappy about it. I was experiencing poverty unlike i had ever
experienced before. I just kept moving forward with faith and as much optimism as i could muster. I
moved forward with the belief that even though i couldnt change the current circumstances i my life, i
could change my thoughts about them. I actively started seeking happiness, it brought more change! In
the summer of 2012 i was seeking employment and got a got a short-term job living and working at a
sustainable community and hot springs outside Portland. Breitenbush Hotsprings. There i had another
powerful experience with reiki.

9
Reiki Miracles #3
While living at the hotsprings i was doing a lot of energy work on myself. Almost daily i would bathe
naked in the the hotsprings, in water that hadnt been to the surface of the earth in 20 thousand years! I
would sit in the tub with my crystals and do a mediation while i performed reiki on myself. I had been
traveling and living a few months here, a few months there, for a few years now, and i was tiring of it. I
was seeking some stability in my life so i was working a lot with my rst and second chakras. One day,
while teaching Nia at Breitenbush, i injured my back very badly. I put the word injured in quotes
because from the beginning i knew i was experiencing some sort of healing. I was doing an extremely
safe and simple move when all of a sudden my back went completely out. I felt this tingling in my lower
back, between my 1st and 2nd chakra, and the next thing i knew i was slumped over. I couldnt
straighten my back, i couldnt even walk! I couldnt remember a time where i had felt such physical pain!
With help i made my way to my little winnebago i was living in and i didnt leave for about 2 days
because i couldnt move. The rst night it was so painful i didnt know if i would be able to get out of bed
to use the bathroom. Luckily friends stopped by and brought me food. While i laid there in bed for 2
days, pretty much unable to move, i did a lot of reiki on myself. Its hard to say how much, pretty much
when i would think about it or feel pain. I guess if i wasnt sleeping, i was doing reiki. I was probably
even doing reiki in my sleep! During this rst two days i was also applying a lot of holistic creams and
essential oils to the injured part of my lower back. Lots of arnica and tigers balm. By day three i was up
and moving around, by day four i was pretty much back to normal, and by day 5 it was like nothing had
ever happened. I was completely amazed by the short amount of time in which i had gone from
completely immobile to fully functioning. I deemed it a miracle and attributed the speed of healing to
reiki and the use of natural, holistic creams!

My appearance on So You Think You Can Dance aired on TV in the US around the same time i was
working at Breitenbush. It was interesting. I thought the producers did a nice job of portraying my story,
although i was not happy with the way that i danced. Despite my best eorts i felt i fell short of
accomplishing my mission. I was featured but during my dance i was not able to access the spirit that
moves me. I danced ok, but i did not meet my expectations. Despite my own judgments, there was an
outpouring of people from all over the United States who contacted me through my website and
facebook, who touched my heart with their positive responses. Many said things like :

Thank you so much for getting in front of so many people and speaking your
truth. I too have spirit guides and feel a connection to other places, such as the
Pleiades. It was so nice to see someone like me talking about what i also believe!

One of the people who reached out to me a)er the shows airing has become a close facebook friend. A
friend who feels like a sister from the stars! She is also an intuitive and a healer. One day, a)er
corresponding regularly via facebook for a few months, and receiving a phone reading by her, i read a
post that she was oering Kundalini Reiki Initiations. I was immediately intrigued. One thing i liked
about this Reiki model was that the set of initiations came with a Master Level which meant i would be
able to initiate others into the practice of reiki. I was also intrigued when i read, in the manual for
Kundalini Reiki, that a Level 1 was the energy equivalent of a Usui level 3. This meant i would be getting
more energy to work with. A)er sitting with the possibility for a week or more, i contacted my friend to
receive the initiation. She had come into my life though such a sacred set of events that it was a no-
brainer that she had brought me the art of Kundalini Reiki for a reason.

My Kundalini Reiki Initiations

Before the initiations took place my teacher sent me the Kundalini Reiki Manual by Paul Crick. Right
away i was excited about what i was reading about Kundalini Reiki. Although the information i received
contained almost no information on the actual practice of reiki, it gave information about a whole bunch
of extra initiations for an assortment of specic healings. I read that i would be initiated to do DNA

10
Reiki which is reputed to strengthen the ability to heal DNA strands (our blue print). It can be used to
go in and heal negative inherited genetics and diseases. And Birth Trauma Reiki which is used to heal
any traumas associated with birth. Lets face it, no matter how you look at it, the experience of going
from a warm, dark, liquid womb environment, to the bright, light hospital environment has to be a bit of
a shock for every human! Reading about these types of specic healings resonated with and excited me
right away. Although i was taught the traditional methods of 100% letting the reiki ow where it is
needed, i really liked the idea of adding a little specic intent to my reiki. A little Law of Attraction if
you will, still always with the intent that it is for the highest good. Despite the more intentional/
situational healing methods, Kundalini Reiki still stresses that all healing go to the highest good for the
recipient. I was really exited about this new up graded reiki energy. I was looking forward to mixing it
with the Usui reiki energy i had already been working with for three years.

I received all of my Kundalini Reiki Initiations over the course of three weeks, one per week, in the
summer of 2012. I immediately put the new energy to work and i immediately was sensing its power.
At the time i was still mostly just doing reiki on myself but i was also actively seeking out trades with
other healers. I had a trade going with a massage therapist as well as a trade with a rolfer. Through my
trade with the rolfer, i will call him John, i was truly able to see what it meant to watch reiki going only
towards ones highest good. The reiki practitioner cannot control outcomes that dont serve ones highest
good. I will share this story now.

The Will of Reiki

Around the time i met John i was really starting to own my power as a healer. I was living in my
hometown in Dakota County, Minnesota a)er two years of traveling all over the United States
developing my spiritual practice. 6 months in Hawaii, 3 month at the Buddhist retreat center, 3 weeks in
Peru with a medicine woman, 6 months in the city integrating and practicing, 2 months at some Native
American hot springs, 3 months in Sedona with crystals and energy vortices. This journey brought me
back to my hometown which i began to appreciate as a hotbed of Native American energy. I was
attending monthly Lakota sweat lodges and dancing regularly.

I started doing a weekly trade with John. I would drive to his house (which was like 45 mins away) where
he had a massage table in his basement and each week i would receive a Rolng session and i would give
him one of my Shamanic Reiki Crystal Healings . Before i worked on him i would always ask him what
was going on in his life, what he wanted to work on, etc. This would help me choose what stones to put
where. It would also o)en lead to an intuitive hit about what area to work on more intensely. One topic
that came up from the beginning was a relationship John was involved in. Heres the story: John was
dating a married woman and he had cheated on her with her best friend. John reveled more about this
story each week. For example, i didnt nd out the woman was married until a)er working on him for
about 4 weeks. At rst the story was just that he was in love with some one and he had done a bonehead
thing and slept with someone else and he wanted her trust back.

I truly believed he was a good guy who had done a bonehead thing. I focused more of the healing during
these times on his 2nd Chakra. As weeks went on their relationship progressed and he began to confess
that he truly was in love with this woman. Then i would focus on his Sacral Chakra and his Heart Chakra.
Then the next session i nd out that the women is married. He tells me all about the husband and
describes their marriage as loveless, that they are only together for the kids, and that she doesnt really
love her husband. He also admits there is lack of trust in their relationship because he cheated. This is
when i oered some reiki for her. In general, Johns Rolng session were a bit longer than my reiki
sessions so i thought a distance reiki session for his girlfriend was a nice addition to the trade. I wanted to
see this messy love triangle heal itself because i sensed that all parties were good people with good
intentions. I suggested to John that i send a distance reiki session to his girlfriend where we would focus
on trust and forgiveness. I told him to oer her the service and if she accepted i could do the session. I
got an email from her a few days later. Here is our correspondence:

11
TO: Lynn
FROM: Amy
Lynn this is my email address.

TO: Amy
FROM: Lynn
Hi Amy! Sorry i didn't get back to you yesterday, i had a busy day!

Yes, as i told John, i would love to do some distance reiki on you! He may have told you we
are doing a trade and my sessions tend to be slightly shorter than his. Since you two are
in a relationship, any healing you get will indirectly effect him, and you! yay!

I don't know a whole lot about your situation but from what i do know, i would like to have
the intention be to help you with trust and forgiveness. Does that sound good to you? If
you would like to focus on something else i can do that, or if you have something in
addition to those things, i can do that too. Just let me know!

For distance reiki i send it to a specific time and place, which is why im writing to get your
address! I know it sounds strange that it would work this way but i look at it this way: I
am sending you energy, and the more information the energy has, the more effectively it
can arrive and do it's work!

So, assuming i hear back from you today, i will send the reiki tonight and i will schedule it
to arrive at 3am while you are sleeping. You don't have to do anything but for maximum
benefit it would be great for you to set an intention/say a little "prayer" before bed to the
effect of "i would like to openly receive the reiki healing to help increase my ability to trust
and forgive" or however you want to word it based on what you e-mail me back about
what intention you would like me to send!

Thanks! I look forward to working with you!

xoxo,
Lynn

Yes, trust and forgive is correct. I will be in S. Paul tonight at [this address], St Paul MN 55106.

TO: Amy
FROM: Lynn
all sent, to arrive at 3am. I used 3 stones:

Mango calcite is a stone for forgiveness, for releasing the past and allowing trauma to
heal. It helps to relieve anxiety, fear and grief and brings new feelings of self worth. A very
gentle healing crystal that is good for any nervous conditions.

Rhodochrosite for heart healing, it sheds its sweet light into any densities in the heart,
cutting through old, pent-up emotions. As Rhodochrosite helps to surface these, it holds

12
 your hand and brings in the forgiveness vibration. This helps you to see the higher love
and lessons in each situation, which is the key to healing and releasing. Rhodochrosite
then helps to gently mend any holes or damage to the energetic areas where the release
occurred, normally in region of the heart through the solar plexus chakras.

Labradorite banishes fears and insecurities, and strengthens faith in the self and trust in
the universe. i currently dont have any stones specifically for trust in another but i
chose labradorite because trust in self and universe lend similar qualities. In general,
gaining trust in your self and your decision to continue with this relationship is ultimately
the energy you are seeking anyway. <3

Sleep well, hopefully you will notice some subtle changes over the next week or 2! Best of
luck!

xoxo,
Lynn
p.s. for a little extra boost, if you were to buy yourself a piece of Mango Calcite or
Rhodochrosite and carry/wear it, it would most definitely help! I am new to Minneapolis
and am not familiar with any crystal shops here but i know there are a few.

So, that was that. Distance reiki was sent. John and I had planned to take a week o from our trade
because we had conicting schedules the following week, so it was 2 weeks before i spoke to him again.
When i next contacted him it was actually to see if he would write me a little testimonial because i was
getting ready and gaining the condence to start oering my reiki as a means of creating my livelihood.
The correspondence did not go as i expected! Via a text message exchange:

Lynn Gravatt:
6pm tonight?

John:
The distant healing I had asked you to do for Amy, which I had gotten approval
from her, was to be a specific intention. The sole purpose was to heal the rift
between me and her. Plus the last time we worked together I asked for you to work
only on low back and right leg nerve issue. My belief is in both cases you choose to
act on your feelings and beliefs and go wider in your approaches. To begin with
Amy the next morning said her feelings for her husband had completely changed,
but her issue with me was not. Now she has forgiven him and not me. So we will
not be working together again.

Lynn Gravatt:
John, i sent out what was for your highest good. What i sent out was forgiveness and
trust. I didn't not specify where she would choose to send it as i am not able to control her
highest will. I am not surprised by this. You have a higher purpose.

John:
If you could not do as requested you should have told me. Do purport to know my
path, who do you think you are God. As stated earlier, we will not be working
together ever again. Your job is to listen and do as asked or explain not possible. I
consulted with two other highly skilled Reiki masters who said you were out of
line. Goodbye.

13
 Lynn Gravatt:
I did as requested John, i said i would work on her trust and forgiveness. I think you
should consult with these reiki masters again as you must have mis-explained what i did.
ANY reiki master knows that we cannot control the outcome of where the energy goes. I
am not in the business and altering energy at the will of others, if i was than THAT would
make me god. That is a form of witchcraft and that is not reiki. I simply send the energy
out as a channel without attachment to the outcome. You asked me for healing and that
always means the universe will use the energy for you highest good, which is what i
assume you would want! :-) Believe me Dan "i" did nothing, this is what you highest self
asked for. I'm sorry you can't see that right now. I suggest you sit on this and reconsider
finishing up with me, for your benefit. As for your leg, you may recall me spending extra
time in that area, and then i just continued up chakras the same as i always do.

If it makes you feel any better, the same thing happened to me! I was working on the
heart of my beloved, with the intention for her highest good and a few days later she
dumped me and left me broken hearted. I had to trust that is was for the benefit of us
both. Reiki is very powerful. <3

A)er this text correspondence i sent John a nal email where i shared with him the e-mail
correspondence between me and his girlfriend. I explained crystals i used, and i again explained that all
the healing went toward the highest good, with no intention on my part to bend the will of the healing.
Unfortunately, i never heard from John again. As a healer himself i suspect on some level that he knows
that the end of this relationship was in his best interested, and i also think on some level he knows that i
did nothing to intentionally bring about the demise of a relationship with a person he was in love with.
Apparently this women was destined to be with the father of her children, to whom she is married.
Thats not the worse thing in the world. There is someone out there who is available for John.

I tell this story because i think it serves as a very important reminder of the power of reiki. As someone
who has a desire to attain enlightenment, i am always reaching for the highest good, knowing that it is
possible i have no concept of what that looks like. The path brings about challenges, i trust the the reiki
allows me to remain centered and balanced enough to handle it all, and i trust that the challenging
situation came about as a result of my seeking higher vibrations. In some cases reiki will create more
chaos in your life, while at the same time creating a sense of well-being in you, so that you are better
equipped to handle the chaos. However, i wish to stress that chaos will not be the case for everyone, or
even the majority. For those already in a happy and loving relationships, working a job they enjoy,
satised with life, reiki will only serve to strengthen the bond and open the heart even more to deeper
levels of intimacy with your loved ones.

A)er my experience with John, even though the outcome was unexpected and not what the receiver
desired, i was even more convinced of the power of reiki and my ability to channel it without attachment.
From my outside perspective it seemed clear that then situation was resolving itself for the highest good
of all involved. I also knew in my heart that i did nothing to control the unfolding, and that everything
was happening of its own accord. It is an interesting point to come to as a healer. I began to really
understand that i was just a vehicle for the energy to travel trough. Further removing myself from my
reiki practice served to build my condence, which strengthened my reiki, which allowed me to let go
even more.

During this time in Minnesota i was rst starting to put together my ocial healing practice. I put
services on my website and starting doing a little more distance reiki healing on others. I was also doing a
lot of work on myself and seeking clarify on what my next step in life was. Soon my clarity came via a
call to Peru! I decided to move to Peru and pursue dance and healing. My idea was that i would be able
to do chakra balances and reiki healings on the tourists in preparation for their trip to the sacred site,
Machu Picchu. I felt like it would be an experience that would benet the traveler immensely, and it
would nancially support me while i pursue my dance.

14
I ended up opening a small little healing room in Pisac, Peru where i practiced reiki for about a month
before attending a 10 Day Vipassana meditation this October of 2013. I entered the meditation seeking
clarity on my life purpose. When i le) the meditation i had my clarity. I met a woman who channeled a
message to me that i should move to Bogota, Columbia to further pursue my dance career. It is hard to
describe how spirit works but all i can say is that once the women spoke the words i knew it was what i
had to do.

I returned to Pisac just as my monthly lease was about to end and i decided not to renew. I knew i was
going to be leaving the area in just a few months and i felt called to move more out into nature for a
month to gain more clarity and prepare for my next giant leap into the unknown. As soon as i got to
Calca in November, this GenX Reiki course started to take shape and i realized that my time in calca was
to be spent in nature without the internet, but still on my computer writing this document and creating
what i am honored and excited to share.

Reiki has been a huge part of my evolution into healing and i am honored to share my story. I hope you
have found it interesting and I hope some of my rst hand accounts have opened your eyes to the
tremendous healing powers of Reiki. It is my hope that all humans strive to attain their highest good and
highest happiness. I feel that reiki is a powerful tool to aid in that attainment. It facilitates change while
increasing peace and well-being. Thus, i hope one day we will all be practitioners of Reiki, it is the
ultimate form of self-healing. I hope these writings serve as a guide for the entry into your own journey
of self-healing.

Chakras and the subtle body

The body contains numerous chakras, but there are 7 main ones that create the channel through which
energy travels. This channel is o)en referred to as the Kundalini. F ig u r e 1 shows the locations of the
kundalini energy channel and the seven main chakras in the body.

Figure 1: Locations of Kundalini Energy Channel and Seven Main Chakras

Each chakra houses dierent energies and serves a dierent purpose. For more in depth information
about each of the chakras, I recommend a beginning chakra book. I found entering the words chakras
for beginners in the Amazon search box brings forth many options. These short books o)en includes
extensive coverage of each chakra as well as meditations and exercises for healing. For the scope of this
manual, i have include a brief description of each of the seven main chakras below.

15
The Root (1st) Chakra
The Root chakra is about being physically there and feeling at home in situations. If it is open, you feel
grounded, stable, and secure. You dont unnecessarily distrust people. You feel present in the here and
now and connected to your physical body. You feel you have sucient territory. If you tend to be fearful
or nervous, your Root chakra is probably under-active. You easily feel unwelcome. If this chakra is over-
active, you may be very materialistic and greedy. Youre probably obsessed with being secure and resist
change. Color: red. Keywords: Potency, grounding. Sound: LAM.

The Sacral (2nd) Chakra

The Sacral chakra is about feeling and sexuality. When it is open, your feelings ow freely and are
expressed without being over-emotional. You are open to intimacy and you can be passionate and lively.
You have no problems dealing with your sexuality. If you tend to be sti and unemotional or have a
poker face, the Sacral Chakra is under-active. Youre not very open to people. If this chakra is over-
active, you tend to be emotional all the time. Youll feel emotionally attached to people and you can be
very sexual. This chakra is also the source of creative energy. Color: orange. Keywords: Stability, trust,
sexuality, addictions, creativity . Sound: VAM.

The Solar Plexus (3rd) Chakra

The Solar plexus chakra (also referred to as the Navel Chakra) is about asserting yourself in a group.
When it is open, you feel in control and you have sucient self esteem. When the Navel chakra is under-
active, you tend to be passive and indecisive. Youre probably timid and dont get what you want. If this
chakra is over-active, you are domineering and probably even aggressive. This chakra holds your sense of
self. Color: yellow. Keywords: Wholeness, energy, self-esteem . Sound: RAM.

The Heart (4th) Chakra

The Heart chakra is about love, kindness and aection. When it is open, you are compassionate and
friendly, and you work at harmonious relationships. When your Heart chakra is under-active, you are
cold and distant. If this chakra is over-active, you are suocating people with your love and your love
probably has quite selsh reasons. Color: green or pink. Keywords: Balance, love. Sound: YAM.

The Throat (5th) Chakra

The Throat chakra is about self-expression and talking. When it is open, you have no problems expressing
yourself, and you might be doing so as an artist. When this chakra is under-active, you tend not to speak
much, and you probably are introverted and shy. Not speaking the truth may block this chakra. If this
chakra is over-active, you tend to speak too much, usually to domineer and keep people at a distance.
Youre a bad listener if this is the case. Color: light blue. Keywords: Expression, will, speech. Sound:
HAM.

The Third Eye (6th) Chakra

The Third Eye chakra is about insight and visualization. When it is open, you have a good intuition. You
may tend to fantasize. If it is under-active, youre not very good at thinking for yourself, and you may
tend to rely on authorities. You may be rigid in your thinking, relying on beliefs too much. You might
even get confused easily. If this chakra is over-active, you may live in a world of fantasy too much. In
excessive cases hallucinations are possible. Color: indigo blue. Keywords: Intuition, vision, spirit guides.
Sound: KSHAM.

The Crown (7th) Chakra

The Crown chakra is about wisdom and being one with the world. When this chakra is open, you are
unprejudiced and quite aware of the world and yourself. If it is under-active, youre not very aware of
spirituality. Youre probably quite rigid in your thinking. If this chakra is over-active, you are probably
intellectualizing things too much. You may be addicted to spirituality and are probably ignoring your
bodily needs. Color: violet or white. Keywords: Inspiration, divinity. Sound: OM.

16
Scanning for Sensations
Reiki is a very dicult thing to describe. It must be experienced to truly be appreciated. Most o)en, but
not always, when a person comes into reiki energy they can physically feel something. A tingling, a
warming or cooling of the area, a buzzing or vibrating. It is dierent for everyone and there is no right or
wrong feeling.

If you are reading this, chances are you have experienced, or are soon about to experience Reiki. If this is
not the case and you have no current plans to receive reiki, i suggest you contact me right away at
divine.de.ame@gmail.com! :-) I would love to be the one who introduces you to this wonderful healing
modality! You can also visit my website at www.divinedeame.com/reikioering so learn more about my
distance and in-person healings. Until then, here are some exercises that will help prepare your body for
when you do receive reiki!

For those reading who are about to receive reiki for the 1st, or the 100th time, this will help you prepare
your body as well! It is the powerful practice of scanning your body. My description of this technique
comes from my background as a Nia and Nia 5 stages instructor as from my experience with Vipassana
mediation, which centers around a body scanning technique... it also comes from my Spirit Guides. <3

1. Sit in a chair or lie down, which ever is most appropriate. Close your eyes and take 3 deeps breaths.
Inhale. Exhale. Clear your mind of any outside thoughts and focus on relaxing your body. During the
inhale, imagine all of your muscles and cells expanding. During on the exhale imagine all of the lower
vibrational energies and body tension being released with your breath. Allow your out breath to carry
away any tension. Feel your body relaxing. Releasing resistance.

2. Move your attention to the crown of your head. Imagine the top of your head opening, just a little, to
allow in loving, healing energy intended for your highest good. When you imagine this, what does it
feel like? Do you feel a physical sensation? If so, where do you feel it? Perhaps near the top of your
head? Perhaps in your heart area? Perhaps on your pinky toe? There is no right or wrong answer or
place to feel something.

If you dont feel a sensation, that is not a problem. What are you thinking about? Has your mind
wandered? If so, simply observe the thought without judgement and bring your attention to the
crown of your head and imagine what it feels like to allow loving and healing energy into your being.

If you are feeling a sensation in your crown area, any sensation, label the magnitude/intensity of the
sensation 1 through 10. 1 would mean you are feeling just the slightest bit of sensation, 10 would mean
you are feeling a very intense sensation. You may be labeling this intense sensation as positive or
negative but pay no attention to that. Simply observe the magnitude of the physical feeling. Dont
over think this. Ask your self the question what number am a feeling and the rst number that
comes to your mind, that is your number. Allow your intuition, your higher self, to guide this
exploration into your physical body.

3. We will now repeat this exercise throughout the body and down the chakra system. I will speak out
an area of body and you will send your attention to that area. Become aware of any physical
sensations you feel in that part of the body. Note the precise location of the sensation that calls your
attention. Label the magnitude of the sensation from 1 to 10.

4. Place your attention on the area around your 6th Chakra, your 3rd eye. The area in between your
browns. Your ears. Your eyes. Your Nose. Your Sinuses. Find a sensation in this area that calls to your
attention. Focus your attention around the sensation in this area. Label the magnitude of the
sensation from 1 to 10.

17
5. Place your attention on the area around your 5th Chakra, your throat. Below your ears. Your Lips.
Your Teeth. Your throat. The back of your neck. Your shoulders. Find a sensation in this area that calls
to your attention. Focus your attention around the sensation in this area. Label the magnitude of the
sensation from 1 to 10.

6. Place your attention on the area around your 4th Chakra, your heart. Your upper back. Your collar
bones. Your chest. Your lungs. Your arms. Your hands. Find a sensation in this area that calls to your
attention. Focus your attention around the sensation in this area. Label the magnitude of the
sensation from 1 to 10.

7. Place your attention on the area around your 3rd Chakra, your solar plexus. The area just above your
naval. Your mid back. The right and the le) side. Your internal organs. Your stomach. Find a
sensation in this area that calls to your attention. Focus your attention around the sensation in this
area. Label the magnitude of the sensation from 1 to 10.

8. Place your attention on the area around your 2nd Chakra, your sacral area. About and inch below your
navel. Your lower back. Your digestive tract. Your hips. Your reproductive organs. Your reproductive
external parts. Find a sensation in this area that calls to your attention. Focus your attention around
the sensation in this area. Label the magnitude of the sensation from 1 to 10.

9. Place your attention on the area around your 1st Chakra, your root. The area just outside your body, in
between your legs. Your thighs. Your Knees. Your calfs. The soles of your feet. Find a sensation in
this area that calls to your attention. Focus your attention around the sensation in this area. Label the
magnitude of the sensation from 1 to 10.

10. Now relax. Quickly run through your list of noted sensations and congratulate yourself for taking
the time to take note of how your body is feeling. Without judging a sensation as positive or
negative, take note of the sensation that pops out at you the most. Simply take note. Ask your
higher self if there is any wisdom to take away from the noted sensation. It is possible as soon as you
contemplate the question there will be clear explanation. It is also likely that an explanation or
further insight will come to you in the next few days. A sensation could be a result of something
mental, emotional, physical, or spiritual in nature.

11. Take three deep breaths and thank yourself for taking the time to feel your body. Thank your guides
for any body wisdom you received, and thank them for all the wisdom you will receive as a result of
this meditation.

If you are doing this meditation in the presence of a reiki practitioner, now is a good time to experiencing
receiving reiki. Before you receive reiki, take note of the sensation you you felt during the body scan
mediation that most sticks out to you. Ask your self if this feels like an areas that you would like to
receive reiki on.

Tell the reiki practitioner where you would like to receive reiki. Reiki will be administered for
approximately 3-5 minutes. While you are receiving reiki, without over thinking, take note of sensations
you are experiencing and note their magnitude, 1 through 10.

A)er the reiki treatment is nished sit for about a minute and then again, send your attention to the part
of your body you received reiki on. What is the magnitude of your sensation?

Now consider the quality of the sensation. Do you feel better than before your received reiki? I hope so!

Now that you are all relaxed but energized, lets move on talk about Pendulums!

2.0 Pendulums

About Pendulums
I rst started using a pendulum as a tool to get in touch with my spirit guides. On three separate
occasions where i encountered a medium (all three through the Womans Spiritual Pursuit Meetup), i
asked them about my spirit guides and all three said independently that they sensed two, a man and a
little girl. This was enough for me to want to get to know more. A friend suggested a pendulum was a
good place to start.

The use of pendulums dates back to the Ancients. They have been used for centuries to nd things like
water, gold, and oil. What i enjoy most about pendulums is that i can look at them from both a scientic,
and a spiritual/intuitive point of view. First the scientic.

Just as radios pick up information from unseen radio waves, the pendulum is a powerful
antenna that sends and receives vibrational information from energy waves emitted by people,
places, thoughts and things.

Scientific research indicates that the pendulum responds to electromagnetic energy that
radiates from everything on Earth.

Through the millennia, Pendulums have been used to detect everything from water, oil, and
gold to nuclear submarines; and with great accuracy. Da Vinci, Einstein, Chemist Robert Boyle,
and General George Patton are all names associated with the use of Pendulums.
http://crystal-cure.com/article-pendulum.html

Everything is a frequency. Everything is made of dierent arrangements of atoms and molecules all
vibrating at various frequencies. A pendulum has been proven, by scientic observation, to be able to
detect subtle frequencies, this includes the frequency of your subconscious. For me, the subconscious is
where the scientic/physiological meets the spiritual/intuitive. I think both are important; however, for
scope of my GenX Reiki 2 material, we are going to focus on the spiritual and intuitive uses for a
pendulum.

A pendulum has many uses. In my Reiki practice i use mine to help determine the status of a persons
charkas (percent open/closed) and to help pick out the crystals i will use in the session. In my personal
life i use it o)en to help organize my day, make decisions, and gain clarity.

The pendulum can be thought of as an extension of the intuition, since it is used to gain access to
information that exists at the subconscious level of the Inner Being. It could be said that it strengthens or
amplifies the intuition because it converts the subtleties of the intuition into a more obvious form of physical
motion. When you ask a question of the pendulum, it is your own intuition that answers it. The pendulum
merely allows you to physically see what the intuition already knows. As an extension of the intuition, the
pendulum can give you information from the same two sources as the intuition: from your own subconscious
mind; and from your guidance, spirit, or guardian angel. http://www.lovesedona.com/08.htm

Choosing your pendulum
Choosing your pendulum, especially your rst pendulum, can be a very special occasion! It is when you
state to your higher being yes, i know you are there and i am ready to receive your guidance. Lets
communicate. When picking out a pendulum visit your local crystal shop or metaphysical store and see if
one calls to you. You can hold a few and see if you feel a physical sensation. You may want to pick one
made with a specic stone. Rose quartz and clear quartz are o)en popular choices. You may pick your
pendulum based solely one what appeals to your eye, You might think one is pretty and just want it. If
that is the case, trust that impulse. You can learn information about the stone you are called too a)er
the fact and use the information to determine a message relevant to your life. You can also make your
own pendulum. I have included simple instructions on how to do this in the appendix. You can use this
method or can can use it to develop your own creative way to make your own pendulum! I feel taking
the time to make your own pendulum is a creative process that can bring you closer to the guides/self
you will use it to communicate with. Let the creation process be an act of co-creation with those who
have the answers to the questions you seek.

Calibrating Your Pendulum

In the past users of pendulums have needed to calibrate their pendulums by asking show me which
direction is yes and show me which direction is no. Some people would get a counterclockwise for yes
and a clockwise for no, it could be dierent for everyone. My guides are telling me to tell you that that is
changing. Its been streamlined and simplied! :-) Chances are, if you are reading this and are interested
in the wisdom i am sharing, then a pendulum you use will be front/back for yes and side/side for no...
makes sense, its like the way we shake our head. yes and no. I encourage you to ask the calibration
questions anyway, but you will likely get front/back as yes and side/side as no. If not, i would suggest
there are possibly other entities sneaking in and messing with you. This is why is also important to
specify before you sit down with your pendulum that you are only allowing in spirits who have your
highest good in mind. Once you have names for you guides you can call them directly. Until then you
can just call them my guides or even my highest self. You can always call on well known benevolent
spirits like God, Jesus, Archangel Michael, Buddha, or even your passed on Grandmother. Whoever,
whatever your Trust... when working with guides, and pendulums, Trust is the key!

How to use a pendulum

There are as many descriptions and directions for how to use a pendulum as there as pendulums
themselves! Once you get a pendulum, i recommend spending an hour or so on the internet gathering
tips that resonate with you. If you google pendulum and spirit guides, or some combination of
similar key words, a bunch of suggestions will come up. I suggest reading reading 3 or 4 entries to see
what resonates with you. You want to take what you like and create your own pendulum ritual . There
is no right or wrong way use a pendulum, but here is a formula you can use:

~ Sit down in a quiet place and set an intention. Maybe clear the space with some sage or some
incense. Talk to yourself/your guides and ask for your wisdom and direction. Heres a little script:

Dear spirit guides/highest self, please come to me now and give me your
highest wisdom for my highest good. Please tell me the truth about what i ask
and eliminate any of my unconscious egoic desires.

I always add the part about the unconscious desires because the mind is powerful and your mind can
most denitely control the pendulum to give it the result you want. Also, know that spirit doesnt care
if something is true or not true. Spirit is only trying to guide you to your highest good; therefore, you

20
might ask a question and get an answer that will propel you to act in a certain manner and then a)er you
take the action, things may not turn out how you expected. Its not because the pendulum was wrong, it
was that you were supposed to have the experience that the pendulum guided you to have. It requires
trust!

~ once you have settled your mind, invited in your guides, and set your intention, ask a simple
yes or no question. When rst starting out with a pendulum, start with questions you know the
answers to like Is My rst name Lynn, etc. Starting with a few question that you know the
answers to will give you condence when you see the pendulum answer correctly!

~ A)er you ask a question, pay attention to the direction the pendulum swings.

Types of questions to Ask

I use my pendulum to ask yes or no questions about things going on in my life. John and Micki Baumann
word it nicely by saying:

It is appropriate to ask a pendulum about things that are within your control, about situations where
you have the right to make a choice, or about things your subconscious already has access to. For
example, it is appropriate to ask whether it would be good for you to marry a particular person, but it not
appropriate for you to ask whether he is going to ask you to marry him, because that is not your right to
choose. In the same way, it is not appropriate to ask if you are going to meet your prince charming today,
because that is not within your control. However, it is appropriate to try to divine other people's motivations
or who they are inside, because you already know this at a subconscious level anyway. For example, it is
appropriate to ask "Can I trust him? Does he want me for a friend, or only for what I can give him?"
http://www.lovesedona.com/08.htm

Take it from me, stick to things you can control. Early on in my use of pendulums i would try to get it to
tell me how other people felt about me, what other people were going to do, it never really worked.
There are times though when i will use my pendulum to call on the Highest Self of another to gain
insights into their highest perspective, and that is appropriate.

Uses of a Pendulum
There are many uses for a pendulum. These included:
~ Making a Choice.
~ Determining your probability of success in a situation.
~ Determining Nutrition and Health.
~ Finding Things.

Making a Choice. This includes discovering how you really feel on a subconscious level, from your
higher source perspective. You can ask things like:

Should i got to New York for Christmas?

Should I look for a new job
Do i want to have children in the near future

21
Determining your probability of success in a situation. O)en because of our ego and
conditioning, we lack the condence to move forward in life and tackle challenges for fear of failure.
Conversely, at times we feel motivated to complete tasks to satisfy our ego even though they may not
serve our highest good. Using a pendulum to consult higher wisdom can help save us time and energy by
guiding us towards successful endeavors and avoid actions driven by the ego.

Do I have what it takes to complete this course?


Will at least 4 people come to my workshop?


Should i partner with John for this creative project?

Determining Nutrition and Health. Pendulums can be great for sorting out health problems. A
series of yes or no questions can potentially lead to the source of chronic health issues. The idea behind
this is that you, your highest self, knows everything that is going on inside your body. You know what is
good for you and what will lead to a better feeling; emotionally, mentally, spiritually, and physically.

He knows what vitamins he is deficient in, what diseases he has, and why he has those
diseases. He knows whether a product he is holding in his hand is toxic, allergenic, or useful and
beneficial. He knows why he feels afraid under certain circumstances, and he knows what he
needs to work on in order to grow spiritually. All this subconscious information can be made
available to the conscious mind by learning to tune in to it with the aid of the pendulum.
http://www.lovesedona.com/08.htm

You can ask a pendulum questions like:

Do i have a gluton intolerance


Should i be taking more vitamin supplements?


Is the root cause of this dis-ease mental/emotional/physical in nature?

Finding Things. Pendulums can be used to nd everything from buried treasure to missing keys!
Pendulums are great to use with maps. To nd a lost pet, place the pendulum over a small area of the
map and ask Is Spot here?. Keep narrowing down till you get a precise location.

Part of the knowledge that comes with experience in working with the pendulum is learning
to sometimes start with broad questions, and then narrow them down.

Common cause of an inaccurate response

On their website John and Micki Baumann list a number of causes of inaccurate responses. These
include:
~ Poor communication. (inaccurate phrasing) The most important thing is how you phrase the question. For
example, don't just ask "Is this water good for me"?" Be more accurate: Good in what way? The water
may have both good and bad aspects. For example, you may be extremely thirsty, so the water is good
for replenishing your body fluids, but the water could be tainted and later give you diarrhea. So state the
question more clearly such as "Will this water serve my highest and greatest good?"

~ Asking questions that are too general. Don't ask general questions such as "Is Mary healthy?" Rather ask
specific questions such as "Is Mary's diet causing her health problems?"

~ Being tired.

~ Forcing the situation. Using the pendulum even though the time or circumstances may not be right.

22
 ~ Being off Center. Feeling mentally or emotionally out of balance. You need to be in the right frame of
mind.

~ Focusing too heavily on the pendulum itself, and not enough on the information inside you.

~ Being too close to high frequency electrical equipment (operate at least 3 ft from a TV or computer
screen).

They later goes on to narrow it down to for main causes of inaccurate responses. They say:

~ The number one reason for inaccurate pendulum reading is vague and faulty wording of the question.

~ The number two reason is your psychological state, the thoughts, emotions, feelings, images, desires,
hope, wishes, etc. that vibrate in and through your psyche. These things can influence the answer.

~ The third source of pendulum inaccuracy is lack of patience. Approach the pendulum one day at a time.
Watch, wait, see and try again.

~ Inaccuracy occurs when there is lack of concentration. Practice focusing on the questions until you are
able to concentrate and hold your attention steady during the time you are working with your pendulum.

The most important thing to remember is that pendulum work is a skill, and like all skills, it requires
practice and patience. The pendulum is just a tool to access your higher intelligence but YOU ARE the
higher intelligence. Treat your pendulum with the same love and respect, and reverence you treat your
guides or angles with. Keep it on your alter, charge it, and cleanse it. And most importantly, TRUST
yourself and the wisdom it brings. As you work with your pendulum your relationship with it will grow
and develop. For a time it is likely that you may nd yourself using your pendulum every time you need
to make a decision. When you nd this happening observe the behavior and recognize that in these
times it becomes less of a tool for cultivating intuition and starts becoming a mental-emotional-spiritual
crutch. Dont judge yourself to harshly, i have been there. In these times i still trust what the pendulum
says, but i maintain the awareness that the wisdom is within me, without the pendulum. The pendulum
cannot predict the future as the future is always changing based on choices you make, and the choices of
those in your web of inuence make. The pendulum can simply help you explore possibilities based on
present events and energetic trends. While getting started, it maybe benecial to use a Pendulum Chart
for clarity. I have included a few in the appendix.

Using Pendulums in a Healing Session

I dont recommend the use of pendulums throughout the entire course of a healing session. I think it is
important to remain connected to the client and constantly picking up and putting down a pendulum can
disrupt the ow of a session. I do however think it is appropriate to use a pendulum at the beginning of
a session to help assess the clients needs, as well as at the end to determine if the needs were in fact met
through the session. I would say i used a pendulum in a healing session for 2 main purposes. 1) To
determine the status of the clients 7 main chakras and 2) To help determine which crystals i will use in the
healing.

For those who are not ocially practicing a formal healing technique, you can still do this with your
friend or partner. Make it fun. Dont take it too seriously to start. Everyones chakras are a little o
balance, so even if the pendulum indicates that all the chakras are closed, its nothing to freak out about.
Obviously the person is next to you and just ne. :-) Or maybe it is a friend who is suering and looking
for guidance, if the person is miserable, it shouldnt be a surprise that the chakras are closed. Simply
sharing time and knowledge are important. If you want to be ocial and call it a healing session you can
also oer massage, particularly massage around the closed chakras. The next section of this document
covers crystals as well. You could add to the healing but placing some crystals on the chakra!

23
When determining the status of a persons chakras:

1. Have the person lay on their back and close their eyes. Have them take a few deep breaths and clear
their thoughts. Ask them to call in their highest self. You call in your highest self and healing guides
(Ascended Reiki Masters, etc).

2. Hold your pendulum over each one of the clients chakras. Ask This Amys 1st chakra open.

3. As i ask i like to give the pendulum a light swing in the clockwise direction and let it settle in a
directional back/forth or side/side motion from the rotation. If i get a front/back motion, a YES, that
tells me that the persons chakra is 100% open an healthy. If i get a side /side NO, that tells me the
clients chakra need some healing. I use the direction of the pendulum swing, over a 90 degree range to
determine the magnitude of the openness/closedness of the chakra. For example, a 45 degree swing
would suggest the chakra is about half open, a 80 degree swing would suggest it is mostly open.

Shown is a gure that shows the directions. Memorize the

directions and corresponding chakra health and run the
pendulum directly over the persons chakra. You dont need
a chart! :-)

A)er you know the status of the chakras, if you are a reiki
practitioner in a session, i suggest asking the client what
they would like to work on during the session. Find out if
there is anything going on in their life they would like to
highlight, either mental, emotional, physical, or spiritual.
O)en the energies in one life represent the energies
emitting from the subtle body. If career comes up look for
imbalances in the rst and third chakras. Stability and Sense
of self. If relationships come up they may need work on
their 2nd or 4th chakras. Physical ailments such as chronic
headaches or eye problems would suggest Third Eye healing
would be of benet. Use your intuition to put together the
pieces of the puzzle. You will be able to see if your mental
intuition matches what the pendulum said before you had knowledge that could bias the pendulum!
This is a great way to build condence in your pendulum as i suspect more o)en that not, you will see a
correlation!

You can also use a pendulum to pick out crystals to use during a healing session. The process for using a
pendulum to pick out stones is very straight forward.

1) Ask the pendulum to guide you to the stones that will be of most benet to the clients highest
good
2) Slowly guide/hoover the pendulum over your collection of crystals and look for any strong
indication of YES. If you have a very large collection and some intuitive guesses you can start
there. Along with my pendulum i use The Crystal Bible by Judy Hall.
3) Most important, trust your intuition and trust that your guides will guide you to the perfect
stones for the highest good of the client.

Im sure you are all excited to practice arent you? If thats the case, get to it! Go make or buy a
pendulum! You might also still just be in the information collecting phase of your entry into energy
work, if thats the case, continue reading on about crystals!

About Crystals
Yay! Its time to write about crystals! I am denitely a crystal girl! I was called to crystals very early on
in my spiritual journey. As soon as i began to discover myself and consider the health of my own chakra
system i began to intuit that my 2nd and 4th chakras would benet from healing. At the time i was not
sure what that meant but i decided quickly to buy some stones associate with the chakras i wanted to
work on. My rst stones were small pieces of Jade and Rose Quartz for my heart chakra, and a piece of
carnelian for my sacral chakra. Once i had my crystals i went to the internet and googled chakra
meditation, or something similar to that. I found a short 15 minute meditation that included
visualization for each of the chakras. When i would do the meditation, when i got to the 2nd and 4th
chakras, i would hold the crystal near the chakra and just imagine it healing. Very simple, but i
experienced changes and i trusted the guidance.

Where does this guidance come from? From Mother Earth herself of course! My number 1
recommended source for all things crystal related is The Crystal Bible by Judy Hall. In it, she gives a
beautiful description of how crystal form.

Crystals were created as the Earth formed, and they have continued to
metamorphous as the planet itself has changed. Crystals are the earths DNA, a
chemical imprint for evolution. They are miniature storehouses, containing the
records of the development of Earth over millions of years, and bearing the
indelible memory of the powerful forces that shaped it. Some have been subjected to
enormous pressure, others grew in chambers deep under-ground, some where laid
down in layers, others were dripped into being - all of which affects their properties
and the way they function. Whatever form they take, their crystalline structure
can absorb, focus, and emit energy, especially on the electromagnetic waveband.

Choosing your crystals

The process of selecting your stones has the potential to be a special and ceremonial action. Most
medium to large cities have at least one metaphysical store with a generous assortment of stones. I have
purchased crystals from all of the US including Seattle, Portland, Salt Lake City, Sedona, and Minneapolis.
Crystals are also found in many tourist stop overs in Mexico, the Caribbean, and South America, as well as
all over the world. Your collection of crystals can and will tell a story of your evolution as a crystal
worker. Each one will tell a story of when and where you acquired it and what inspired its acquisition!

There are many means by which one can choose a new stone. These include choosing based on physical
body sensations the stone invokes, choosing based on a crystals specic healing properties, or choosing
based on a crystals physical appearance.

Healing Properties
Probably the most common reason you will purchase a stone is if you are looking to use it to heal a
specic ailment or quality. Maybe you are interesting in treating chronic headaches, maybe you wish to
further develop your intuition, maybe you are seeking greater creativity. Whatever the desire, you would
pick a stone known to have the qualities you seek. Most stores that sell crystals will have a selection of
books with a index where you can look up a stone related to your needs. Again, i recommend The Crystal
Bible by Judy Hall. Doing a little research on the internet before heading out can also give you an idea of
the stones that might help you. Finally, o)en these metaphysical stores are staed by passionate and
knowledgeable individuals who will happily recommend a stone to t your needs!

25
Sometimes i have been in a crystal shop and not known what i was looking for until i saw it. O)en the
display of crystals has some sort of tag with keywords as to the stones qualities. I can recall times where i
read a word on a tag and that was how i knew which type of stone i was going to buy.

Physical Appearance
It is perfectly appropriate to pick your crystals based purely on what you think is pretty. :-) Sometimes
you might be draw to a stone by its color. Maybe you are working with a specic chakra and want to
choose a stone with a color to match. You might be drawn to a stone because of a pattern it contains, or
its texture. Maybe a particular crystal catches light in a certain way that appeals to you. I nd o)en
when looking at the physical qualities of a stone, if it makes me feel joyful for happy it is for me. Allow
its visual vibration to invoke a feeling within you and follow the guidance of that feeling.

Body Sensations
Last, but certainly not least, sense the physical sensation your body produces in response to contact with
a crystal. I cant stress this enough in terms of building your ability to sense energy, both yours and that
of your surroundings. Even if you pick a stone based on is properties or physical appearance, spend some
time right away sensing how the stone makes you feel. Does it create a warmth or tingling sensation in
my hands when i hold it? When i hold it does it create a physical sensation in/on a specic part or region
of the body? Does it evoke any feelings or emotions?

O)en when i am picking out a new crystal i will have narrowed to down a specic type of stone, o)en
based on its healing properties, and i will use my body to pick out the exact stone. I will o)en hold a
stone in each hand and sense how each feels in my hand. I might do this with 3 or 4 stones, each time
picking the one that produces the sensation i like best. Much like the way an eye doctor narrows down a
prescription for glasses.

No matter how you come in contact with a specic stone, trust that it has made its way to you for a
specic reason. Seek out stones that make you feel good and which are aimed at achieving your highest
good. Watching your crystal collection grow can be a very fun and rewarding journey. Have fun with it,
and let it be special.

Cleansing your crystals

Whenever you get a new crystal it is a good idea to cleanse it to remove any stagnate or negative
energies. The journey of a crystal from the Earths crust to your hands o)en takes it into contact with
many people, sometimes with more of a prot motive that a healing motive. Just to keep things clean
and pure, cleansing a new crystal is a good idea. A)er the rst cleanse, it is important to cleanse your
stones regularly. You can make it a ritual which will increase their ability to work for you. You could

26
cleanse them only 4 times a year at the change of the season. You can cleanse them monthly, perhaps
near the full moon, or you can cleanse them before or a)er each use, or a)er a particularity powerful
healing or extended use. From the Magick of Reiki by Christopher Penczak:

You cleanse it [a crystal] by raising its vibration using techniques that remove unwanted energy.
This banishes all unwanted programs and thoughts from the stone, without removing any of the
healing energy.
There are a number of ways to cleanse your crystals. These include: Smoke Smudge, Sun, Moon, Flame,
Water, Salt, Earth, and Prayer/Intention. I have used all of these methods and i o)en mix and use many
of them at the same time. There have been times where i have soaked my stones in salt water, then
dried and smudged them, then set them onto the Earth in the sun, in the rain, or under the full moon!
All methods work equally well and the method you use will depend on the given circumstance (note:
some crystals fade in the sun, some are water soluble and will dissolve, and some are sensitive to salt. Do
some research when choosing your method of cleansing). Smoke is always a safe option.

Smoke Smudge: Pass your stone through the smoke of a sacred herb or incense. I like sage and palo
santo. Other things to use are cedar, sweet grass, lavender, cinnamon, cloves, and more. Just like
crystals, herbs each have dierent metaphysical properties so do your research. Not all herbs are
protective or cleansing.

Sun or Moon Charge: I consider charging my stones under the full moon or in the sun to be the most
powerful means of charging and cleansing. The sun and the moon represent what is out of this world.
The sun and the moon charge the Earthly crystal with cosmic energy and knowledge. Sometimes on the
full moon i will leave my crystals outside for a full 24 hours so they can get charged by both the sun and
the moon. It takes next to no time to do. I suggest you use this method whenever you remember. Mark
your calendar!

Flame: Pass your stone over a candle ame, not directly in the ame, but just above it. Imagine the
ame absorbing any unwanted energies or programs. Be careful not to burn yourself!

Water: I enjoy cleansing my stones in water. Its like giving a bath to my little babies! If you have access
to a stream, river, or clean lake/pond, crystals love Earths naturally sourced water. You can also soak
them in a bowl of distilled or spring water. Spring water is best. You can also run them under tap water
or even cleanse them at a boil. Follow your own guidance and intuition. Again, be sure to check if your
crystal is water soluble. Most crystals are totally ne in water, including anything from the popular
quartz family: rose, citrine, amethyst, etc.

Salt: Salt, in particular sea salt or epsom salt, has the ability to natural absorb unwanted energies. You
can soak them for a sort time in salt water or let them sit in a bowl of dry salt. I recommend discarding
the salt a)er each use.

Earth: You can bury your stones or simply just set them on the Earth and allow her to absorb the
unwanted energies. If you bury the stones make sure you mark the spot so you dont lose them!

Keep with cleansing stones: Some stones have the special quality of being a cleansing stone, one
example of such a power stone is Carnelian. It has the power to cleanse other stones. When i carry
around my crystals i always carry a piece of carnelian so it can constantly impart its cleansing powers
onto my other crystals.

27
Prayer/Intention: You can simply hold the stone in your hands and ask your guides, or whatever other
higher power you call in, that the stone be cleansed of all negative energy. You can talk to it, blow on it,
kiss it, whatever feels good to you!

Programming your crystals

Once your crystal has been cleansed, the nal step before harnessing the its magic and power is to
program the crystal. I will admit, this is a relatively new practice for me so i will share information from
more knowledgable sources. In The Crystal Bible, Judy Halls says:

Crystals need to be dedicated to the purpose for which you use them. Dedicate the crystal
as soon as you cleanse it. This focuses the energy. Hold the crystal in your hand.
Picture light surrounding it. Say out loud I dedicate this crystal to the highest good of
all. May it be used in light and love

To program your crystal, hold it. Let yourself be open to higher guidance. Consider the
purpose for which you wish to use it. Be specific. If you want to attract love, describe
exactly what kind of love you are looking for. If you are seeking healing, say precisely
for which condition and what you want to happen. When you have formulated your
program, attune to the crystal. When you are totally in tune, say out loud:

I program this crystal for [your purpose].

Then put the crystal in a place where you will see it often, or keep it in your pocket. It can
be helpful to hold it two or three times a day, or more. You may need to repeat the
programing several times

Christopher Penczak also gives some wonderful recommendations for programming your crystal. He puts
the following programs into his crystals. I have began putting these programs to use with my crystals as
well.

Act for the Highest Good

This empowers the crystal to work only for the highest and best healing good, and not force ego
intentions on another.

Manifest all your powers as needed

This tells the stone to manifest the healing properties it has, as needed for the highest good, even
if you are not consciously aware of them.

Active/Deactivate on command
The crystal will work with you and activate and deactivate as needed. It sounds strange, but you
really can tell the dierence between and active and an inactive crystal. The crystals will also
deactivate if they are not for the highest good of the recipients. This program is great for Reiki
crystal grids.

Self-Cleansing
You can program stones to help cleanse themselves of unwanted energies and programs. This
doesnt mean you dont have to periodically cleanse your stone through other traditional
methods, but it keeps you from having to do it each and every time you use it.

28
 Programs are fixed for the highest good.
This keeps these programs set in the crystal so they cannot be removed by anyone unless it is for
the highest good to do so. Its like pulling the record tab of an old cassette tape. You dont have
to worry about anyone erasing or changing your programs accidentally.

Crystals and the Chakras

There are 1000s of crystals each with dierent metaphysical healing properties. Some are readily
available and inexpensive, while some are quiet rare and expensive. However, almost all stones can be
related to one of the chakras. Below i will share a comprehensive list of crystals as well as their

Crystals Grids
The nal topic we will discuss with regards to crystals is Crystal Grids. I have to be honest, these are
relatively new to me but i am enjoying developing this skill and using them with my distance reiki. There
are many dierent ways to arrange a crystal grid. During my research i found instructions that said to
use 6 crystals, i read instructions that said to use 8, and when i made my rst one i felt called to use 7!
The point is, there is no right or wrong way to make a crystal grid. Regardless of how you choose to
arrange your crystals, the general process is the same. These are instruction for using a crystal grid to self
heal. In you are attuned to reiki this could be used to send distance reiki to another person.

1) Take the crystals you will use to form your grid and arrange them on a hard surface.. It is best
to use quartz-crystal points, or other pointed crystals. Arrange them with any points facing
towards the center.

32
 2) In the center of the arrangement place something that will connect you with what it is you
are wanting to heal in your life. You can write your intention on a piece of paper. If it is a
relationship with another you could put a photograph of him/her into the center. Feel free to
put all your intentions into the grid, you can have a whole list!

3) Take a moment to center yourself and invite in your guides and spirits. Say a prayer that
healing and be sent for your highest good. Moving in a clockwise direction, activate each one
of your stones. You can do this by simply spending a little time with each crystal and
imagining it activating. Give it the instructions to activate. You can go around the circle
more than one. Thanks the crystals for their service!

4) Envision the center of the gird lling with healing light and lling and going o to your
highest self. Imagine all of your intentions coming true.

The grid will continue to send positive energy to your intentions for as long as appropriate. You can
reactivate and resend daily.

Use your intuition to determine

what crystals to include in your
crystal grid. The crystals may
change depending on how your
intentions evolve. To the right
is a picture that shows a crystal
grid that i made for a recent
distance reiki session. You can
see i have 7 points in my grid,
one for each of the chakras.
Each arm of the grid starts with
a small piece of pointed quarts.
Behind each quartz i have what
are call chupas. They are
Andean chakra healing stones.
Each stone has points on it
what represent the chakras. One
stone has just one point, the
next has 2, etc. The nal chupa
has 7 points. The points also
represent the sacred mountains
(apus) in the region. Finally, behind the chupas i have placed a stone with healing properties for each of
the chakras. All of the energy points inward. In the center of this healing grid i have a large piece of
Chrysocolla, which was a new stone i had just purchased and was charging. The center of the grid is also
where you would put your intentions or a name or photos if you were doing distance reiki with the grid.

The chakra grid i described above is just one type of crystal grid, as i mentioned before, there are 100s of
dierent ways to make a crystal grid. If the concept of a crystal grid calls to, i suggest going a little
research on the topic. Your search will most likely reveal a method that calls to and excites you. Go with
that. Or, do no research at all and just make a gird! Your highest self knows the way!

Final Words on Crystals
Crystals became an integral part of my healing early on in my journey into becoming a healer. They are
beautiful manifestations of the Earths magnicent power, and they are abundant. Two nights ago i
created the crystal grid shown in the previous section. It contained all the crystals that i use to do the
bulk of my healing work. I le) the grid in the yard over night to charge, cleanse, and send distance reiki.
The chupas and my main set of chakra stones that i have collected throughout my rst few years as a
energy worker/healer. Today, on Thanksgiving of 2013, i went out to the garden on to discover that all of
my crystals have been stolen.

I was very surprised at my reaction to this. I was/am completely calm. There is a sense of loss, some
sadness, and yes, a few tears. However, through witnessing my calm reaction i was able to discover that i
have not identied myself as a healer through the crystals, and that feel good! The crystals are fabulous
tools, and the contain great healing powers, but they are a dime a dozen. Rose Quartz, Citrine, Amethyst,
all of these stones are readily available and easily replaced... kind of... I appreciate that these particular
stones have been loved and charged by me throughout some dicult times in my life. They hold a part
of my story. I feel they have been a tremendous source of my personal healing. It is easy for me to feel
attached to these particular stones; however, the one things i have learned throughout my travels and
struggles is that the key to true happiness is non-attachment.

The fact is that the crystals that carried me into my role as a healer (and i do believe they carried me) are
now gone and there is absolutely nothing i can do about it. Any negative emotion is completely futile
because it will not change the situation. All i can do is nd the bright side, and i did. I am about to enter
a new phase of my life. One where i step into and own my power and an Energy Healer. I know so
much more than i knew when i bought those crystals. My practices are more advanced. My intentions
are more sincere. I am a much more pure channel. I am now choosing to take the loss of my rst set of
crystals as an invitation to congratulate myself on a job well done. Its time for an upgrade! As i said,
none of the crystals that have gone missing are of the rare sort (except for 1 self-healing harlequin re
quartz... AND i got it in Salk Lake City during my audition.. ACK... ATTACHMENT! ;-) . They will be easily
replaced. I will get to experience the powerful process of once again, one by one, picking out the
particular crystals that calls to me. New energies, and i really do expect them to be more powerful than
the ones i was working with before. This time when i get a new crystal i will put more time, love, and
intention into the cleansing and programming process. Each crystal will have its own ceremony as an
introduction into my family! And then... and then maybe one day those crystals will also leave my hands,
and i will repeat the process.

I believe that all energy ows where it is needed most, and so, to the individual(s) who are now in
possession of my rst set of healing crystals... even though you likely speak spanish and will never read
this, i hope the crystals serve you well. If you keep them, i hope they bring you all of the healing energy
that they are lled with. I hope they heal your all your chakras and bring you peace and balance, so in
the future you will not feel the need to take what does not belong to you. If you send up selling them
for cash, i hope that money brings you and your family the sense of stability you are seeking. I know
what it is like to feel desperate, to feel like you dont have enough, to feel like the only way to be
provided for it to take from others. It is a horrible place to be and i would not wish it on you or anyone
else. I hope these crystals help release those fears. Love and forgiveness to you.

4.0 In Closing
just the beginning
So, how did you enjoy your journey into Energy Work? I hope you found it informational and enjoyable.
Please know that the information provided on these pages is just a small introduction into a wide and
wonderful world of energy work. Reiki, pendulums, and crystals are just three subsections of practices
that are available that will aid in your personal evolution. Below is a short reference list of works sited on
these pages. I invite you to use these books as the next phase in your journey. Within each of these
books is a whole other list of books they used. The river of knowledge on these topics runs deep, and i
encourage you to go deeper. Thank you so much for reading and letting me be a part of your personal
exploration!

I assume if you made it all the way through this text, you like what you read. Which means you like
what i wrote :-). If that is the case, please share this material. This is meant to be a free document to
introduce people to information that new (and ancient) and dierent (and totally normal). By all means,
copy and resend! Share with you friends. However, i hope you dont mind if i take the opportunity to
ride your coat tails and plug myself a bit!

If you are reading this and are curious about learning more about reiki or shamanic energy work, or if
you would like to receive reiki or a shamanic healing, please dont hesitate to contact me! The most
wonderful thing about energy work is that there really is not space or time. When sent by a person with
the proper training and intention, energy work can be just as powerful when sent from a distance as it is
in person. All of my distance reiki sessions include a minimum of a clear and insightful email
correspondence before and a)er a session. I also oer sessions via appointments on skype. This is a
real-time, face-to-face distance reiki session. For in-person sessions see my website to nd out where i
am! I expect to be be in Bogota, Columbia until June of 2014. A)er that is still a mystery that reveals
itself one step at a time. If you wish to follow my journey into the creative, though healing, dance,
poetry, stories, photography, music, recipes, and more, visit my website!

Divine Hands Healing, 2013

As ive said, this material was originally compiled to accompany my GenX Reiki Instructional Manual.
Reiki is for everyone. Anyone can practice reiki. You can practice reiki. You can see from my story that
when i rst got my level 1 initiation i did not consider myself a healer, and at the time i had no intention
of becoming a healer. I just liked working with energy and i wanted to use it to heal myself! If you have
a similar interest in energy and have desire to learn and practice more Reiki, you can do so via my online/
distance reiki course! Throughout this course initiates receive up to 3 levels of reiki initiations (including
the Master Level), one on one skype practicum sessions, the complete and comprehensive GenX Reiki
Instructional Manual (over 100 pages of information), ocial certicates of completion, and 24 hour
online access to all of the information contained in the manual, along with a whole host of online/
downloadable instructional videos. On the following page i have included the outline of the full course

How to Make a Pendulum
What You Will Need
To make yourself the perfect pendulum you will only need 3 things. a chain, wire, and crystals!

A Chain
The chain of your pendulum can be made out of any number of things. Metal
chain link, yarn, leather. Any thing that dangles and can carry the weight of
the pendulum. I recommend using about 20 inches of material. It will be
doubled up so your pendulum will hang about 10
inches.

Wire
Any type of wire will do. I suggest using copper
because is it a wonderful conductor of electricity!
It also happens to be readily available and very
inexpensive. In the states i bought my wire at a cra)
stores like JoAnns and Micheals. 10 feet costs around
$3. You will only need about 2.5 inches for you
pendulum.

Crystals
You will need crystals beads, any will do! I recommend smaller ones. The chips
work really well. Cra) stores like Jo Anns and Micheals carry a wide assortment
of crystal chips. A whole strand is only about $3. You will only need 5-8 crystals.
Since you need so few, if you can, i suggest nding a smaller local bead store and
picking out the specic stone. A small rose quartz bead, for example, would cost
around 20 cents. You could get all your crystals for around a buck!

How to Make a Pendulum

Step 1: Bend one end of your wire so that the crystal beads wont be able
to fall o. You want the end to be kind of a point. Spirals work nice, be
creative, use your imagination!

Step 2: Arrange your bead on the wire anyway you

choose. Consult your guides. Use intention. Make it
meaningful to you. You can see that one i show in
the picture has a large stone that sticks out to the
side. That seems like an odd thing to do on a
pendulum doesnt it? Do we want it to be balanced?
I say, if you trust enough the power of the spirit
working pendulum will balance that out perfectly!
Follow your intuition.

Step 3: Bend one more loop at the other end of

the wire and string you chain through it. Attach how
appropriate You can see with the leather i simply tie a loop knot near the
end. This would work well with string or yarn as well. If you use metal
chain you can likely just link it directly to the pendulum loop!

Step 4: Start getting to know your higher self! Ask it a question!
