It is always so fabulous, fun, and informative to have Salvatore Zambito on the show! Today I chat with Salvatore on how our emotions can be supported by Yoga.  Tune in as we review what Yoga means and discuss being present right here, right now.  In our busy lives a regular practice can appear as one more thing to do in our already over extended day.  This show will explore how we truly lose time by choosing not to be in the moment. We will connect the difference between response and reaction with feelings versus emotions. Our practice connects us to NOW.

The big craze these days is Transformational Life Coaching and many people think it's something NEW!  Well, think again.....

Transformational coaching is similar to life coaching. It involves helping people bettering themselves and their lives by bringing about necessary changes. Instead of changing how they act, however, as with life coaching clients, transformational coaching clients work on changing the way they see themselves. This might involve changing their self-image, or perceptions about themselves and their limitations.

Mikao Usui, the Founder of Reiki, gave us The Reiki Precepts, so that we may develop personally and spiritualy, long with tools to facilitate healing in others.

"The Secret Method of Inviting Blessings.

The spiritual Medicine of Many Illnesses.

For today only do not anger, do not worry.

Be Grateful and

Do your work with appreciation.

Be kind to all living things.

In the morning and at night,

with hands held in prayer,

Think this in your mind,

chant this with your mouth.

The Usui Reiki Method to change your mind and body for the better

-- Mikao Usui"

It's all about Body, Mind and Spirit/Soul and Usui Sensei knew this many, many years ago and shared this blessing with the public.

Ha ha ha! Technical difficulties have quieted enough for a new show!

This show is about the difference in knowing and believing or thinking.  We often associate with what we think or with our mind and cloud our intuition.  When we get better at understanding this duality in ourselves, we can practice calming our minds and sit closer to what is real.

Shirushi: What’s their importance?

The Shirushi (Reiki symbols) indeed do have their function. They do their ‘thing’ when used both during local and distance healing, as well as attunements. Choku Rei, Seiheiki, Hon sha ze sho nen and Dai Ko Myo are the four traditional symbols used within the Usui Shiki Ryoho Reiki. There are however other reiki branches which uses the same symbols such as Jikiden Reiki. Other Reiki traditions such as the Raku Kei Reiki uses symbols such as Raku, Fire Serpent and more.

The four traditional reiki symbols are not as secret as they are sacred. Using the Dai Ko Myo as example: It is made up by general Kanjis which are supposed to be known by fourth grade primary school students! It is not a symbol in and by itself, but when used in proper context it allows for the attunement process to take place.

The HSZSN symbol is another form of kanji, albeit stylized, which are known by primary school students as well. Nothing super secret there, huh? Used in proper context – this symbol is used for distance healing, as the initiating symbol to create a connection to the client.

Choku Rei and Sei Hei ki symbols have traces back to the Kurama Kokyo Sect (buddhism) as well as shinto practices, as symbol for a specific deity. This is not unlike the Makoto no kokyo ho meditation which uses the sun mudra nichirin-in during it’s second last part, forming a triangle infront of ones forehead before vibrating sancript OM, or as it is a japanese version – ON on the exhale.

The ‘symbols’ are abstract things, not having overly much power or importance by themselves. But they are part of the usui shiki ryoho tradition, and cannot be explained by words. It is said that they have to be experienced.

Join me as we welcome in the New Year of 2015!  Let’s talk about the practice of and getting through the busy-ness by practicing awareness.  Today we look at the paths we have woven, and then look to where we want to go.  Let’s chat about how we take what we have learned, apply it to being present, and have an idea of what we want.  We examine the phrases "what am I doing?" and what am I doing now?" and "now what is happening?"   As we begin a new year, we examine a fresh perspective on past, present, and future.
