WHY Nominate “WE ARE ONE WORLD HEALING” as THE BEST REIKI BLOG

Is this really ‘the best’ Reiki blog? I think it is:

• This blog is the best to me because it’s the only blog I own about healing. It is my only tool for sharing information that I consider important, uplifting, insightful, sometimes amusing but always food for thought.

• This blog’s central goal is the ultimate goal of Usui (founder of Reiki): to bring enlightenment. Feelings oneness mark an enlightened existence. ‘We Are One World Healing’ is all about ONENESS and is central to this blog.

• Beyond the spiritual level, the mental, emotional and physical levels of Reiki healing are helped here as well.   I write articles on all levels, so that we can heal holistically.

• This blog provides
• Reiki basics, e.g. in’s/out’s of distance Reiki healing, as well as  information beyond standard Reiki textbooks, e.g.  in-depth article of who Usui actually was and how his personal experience formed the structures found in the Usui system of natural healing.

• It’s a virtual library with ideal tools for those on the healing path, practitioners and clients alike.  The ’We Are One World Healing’ group distance Reiki initiative actually brought this blog in existence as, initially, it was meant as a way to communicate between participants. It morphed into an virtual library for healing, explaining angels I work with, tools that I use, and issues that come up in my Reiki practice.  Here are just some highlights of articles that complement Reiki and are of use to Reiki masters, Reiki students as well as Reiki clients:
• • Healing Myths: Reiki once & healed forever, 10 Reiki Myth Debunked, Healing Myth: Pain is bad 
  • Enlightenment: Stages of Enlightenment
  • Shamanism: shamanism is; Raven totem animal; Aka cords (Hawaiian Huna)
  • Archangels: archangel Michael, archangel  Azrael, archangel Jeremiel
  • Crystal Therapy: crystals to avert negativity, crystals in grid for abundance, crystals for world healing
  • Feng Shui:  Chinese bagua, remedies for love, success at work
  • i Ching: ancient Chinese divination tool / get your own free reading 
  • Bach Flower Remedies: overview, questionnaire, individual remedies described
  • Aromatherapy: power of rose
  • Weight loss: a spiritual program, alkaline food
  • Words of Inspiration: compassion supports me
• There’s lots more to read…
• … and write. I’m not going stop any time soon.

Facts n Figures

• Hundreds of thousands people from all over the world who have read the blog, like it enough to stay around for the while and read several articles.
• This blog has an incredibly low bounce rate of 30-40%. 
• It is on only Reiki blog that I know of that’s a PR3, has a better than 250,000 Alexa ranking
• The Therapeutic Reiki blog ‘We Are One World Healing’ has been around for a while. In April that will be 4 years.

However, to me, more important than these stats are the ‘love letters’ that I have received from readers. Heartwarming. It is very nice to know that my writing about healing Reiki has made a significant difference in people’s life. 

Conclusion

If my blog touched your heart, helped you heal, taught you Reiki, or connected you with Archangel Michael, the i-ching, Feng Shui, aromatherapy, or any other helpful force in your healing process, than please NOMINATE THIS BLOG.

Healing Aspects of Halloween

Truth is: healing happens when you are ready, no matter where you are, or what your circumstances.  So, when you are ready, that is the time that you can find a healing meaning a dead fish or a stuck-on rubber heart.

However, it happens to be that Halloween is also an ancient Druidic festival time that celebrates the passage of life on Earth. It honors our ancestors (particularly those who left us in the last year, and it welcomes the newborns of the last 12 months.  I actually don’t need a carnival, as I think I can come up with twelve healing Halloween stories, all on my own. This, I will do next year, I’ve just decided.

Today, I want to share with you HAPPY HALLOWEEN HEALING with articles by a few other good bloggers.  Following Halloween-themed submissions are the remainder of  other submissions. 

To be of service, I’ve decided to give all articles a good read and provide commentary. I welcome a discussion with you all, as I am interested in your views and take on some of the stories presented.

• Phylameana, our healing industry veteran,  presents Haunted Houses posted at about.com  – see Phylameana lila Desy’s profile here.
• It  links to a community dialogue about an haunted house photo and then links further to unhaunting haunted houses.

A Lee: From personal experience, unhaunting haunted houses is actually a big job, usually. Somehow, I need to sleep lots of extra hours doing this work. You will have happy clients is you specialize in this work.

I call this work ‘space clearing’ rather than ‘unhaunting haunted houses’, as helping lost souls find their way home and realizing peace in the homes of the living is a year-round necessity, not solely on Halloween.

• Madeleine Begun Kane presented an article Is It July 4th, Columbus Day, Or Halloween? I’m Confused! posted the Mad Kane’s Humor Blog. 

A Lee: As laughing has to be one of the easiest  and most enjoyable healing methods ever, perhaps its just to link to Kane’s blog altogether, not just this article. Her wicked limerick offers food for thought and allows us to reconsider what this ancient holiday is all about.

• Theresa Willingham presented a four-page article of what Halloween / Samhain teaches us to overcome fear.

• In my series of Animal Medicine, I have previously written about the ancient power of the Raven, and how to meditate on and tap into its essence to help you heal.

Other articles submitted that I’ve found of interest and worth linking to and writing about:

WE ARE SPIRITUALLY ENLIGHTENED

Donald presents Being Happy: How Not to Love Stuff posted at Life Optimizer.

A Lee: THIS is a very interesting article. I can relate from personal experience here. I have just let go of 80% of my belongings when moving continents only months ago.

I have learned 3 things, or actually 4:

a) Donald’s right: having less stuff is definitely calmer, if one has retained the good stuff and if the shedding was by choice. 

b) I now realize that we, owners, are caretakers of the material world. I now value sharing more, including renting or borrowing, instead of having things all for myself.  Sharing brings harmony and community, less waste and more fun.

c) Having ‘less’ in our society invariably means giving things away. And as per Donald’s argument, indeed, I especially loved giving some of our greatest treasures to our friends and charity. I reveled in their joy of receiving.

d) And, here is a confession, or is it?? Now having moved and missing specific bits and pieces, I also discovered that I love getting presents too. Receiving gifts has been so inspirational to me!  It makes me feel appreciated and supported by the Universe.

‘Receiving what we need’ has been a clear confirmation that the Law of Attraction works (not that I had been doubting), and that my world indeed is a perfect place.  Receiving the specifics of what we need (and I am not talking pearls and Gucci handbags) is  inspiring to me to more of what I can be, and to, in turn, be generous to others and to seek out specifically what they need. Generosity is not giving away left overs, but rather, it is giving exactly what is needed.   There is subtle difference.

So, go check out Donald’s article as it’s worth your time.

Kim Pratt presents Mindfulness: what it is and how to do it posted at karunaweb.com – Information and Tools for Personal Growth and Positive Change.  

A Lee: This article is quite good and in-depth.

It actually reminds me of my own popular article on the topic  ‘Meditation is Simple’ as well as the one written by one of our long-term ‘We Are One World Healing’- group participants, Kanhaiya Joshi, titled Effortless-Namsmaran Choiceless Awareness.

I think that all these articles are worthy of your attention.

WE ARE ONE WORLD HEALING

Tomorrow, Sunday November 1, (yes, at All Saints Day as well as the day of the Full Moon), we are having our monthly worldwide meditation session.

For 1 hour (9-10 am San Francisco time), all participants from hundreds of countries share our energy and focus on a healed planet with a healthy, healed society. 

If you want to be part of this powerful meditation group (aka Reiki group  of mostly Reiki masters), you can join us. We would like to have you.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

• Tim King presents Finding the Answer to the Meaning of Life posted at J. Timothy King’s Blog.

A Lee: What is not to love about THAT title? The title alone offers ample food for contemplating.

WE ARE HONORABLE PARENTS

• Becca presents Mothering as a Journey posted at Inspiration for Mothers . Com. 

A Lee: This is an article that is written as an inspiration.  There is one line that stuck with me, ‘If mothering is a journey, then conscious mothering is taking the high road.’  

• Robin presents A Child on Hospice posted at Angelbunnies.

A Lee: This authentic blog, which has a lot of substance, contains this highly personal story. I am sure it will hold healing power for those of you who are in similar parenting circumstances.

WE HAVE A HEALTHY RELATIONSHIP WITH THE SELF

• Persha presents I Just Got Dumped: Surviving The First Day After A Break Up posted at DumpedDays.com. 

A Lee: My take on this blog and article is that the single most IMPORTANT relationship we have is with the Divine inside us .  When we are letting our soul shine, and walk on our path of most light, there will be an abundance of self-love, of inner joy and strength.  We are one with the Divine.

Then, on this path so joyously, ‘being just dumped’ will be a phase beyond  our consciousness. Instead, our being will be filled with concepts of harmony and alignment and companionship. Unconditional love for the self, by the self  and by others, will be omnipresent.

May all people who visit this blog

walk with me

on their path of most light.

• Rabbit White  presents Being in a Relationship With Yourself posted at Rabbit Write. 

A Lee: Reading Rabbit White ’s article, he agrees with what I just wrote about Persha’s blog, and actually sets out the whole concept in detail!  This article is worth a read, not only by those who feel ‘just dumped’.

WE CONSUME NUTRITIOUS FOOD

At Halloween, the most candy-loaded holiday festival of all, I initially had a hard time to get myself to write about ‘nutritional essentials for diabetics’ or ‘juice cleanses’.  However, having morning coffee at my local cafe in social Italy, talking with a total stranger who happens to be an enthusiastic health-juice promoter, I found just the inspiration I needed:

Jason Cooper presents Living Consciously in a Technological World posted at KnowledgeReform.com, a blog about self improvement, self help and inspirational wisdom.

Robert Fenn presents Good News! Diabet Provides All Essential Nutrients For Diabetes posted at DiabetReview.com.

Kelly Bronx presents A Natural Remedy: Juice Cleanse posted at JuiceCleanseNow.com.

This concludes the Carnival of Healing #213.  Last carnival was at on a mission from Goddess, and the next carnival will be hosted by Janet Dagley’s The Reiki Digest held on Nov 07, 2009.  The carnival of healing is an initiative by  Phyla from About.com.   Many thanks to all parties who contributed to this carnival.

WE DIGG  IT

I would so appreciate it if you could further the publicity of this carnival with giving it A DIGG, talking about it/linking to if from Facebook, blog catalog, Twitter or whatever social media you are accustomed with. 

Happy Healing Halloween to all.

Hello and welcome to the June 7, 2008 edition of carnival of healing, hosted here at We Are One World Healing.

In this week’s round up we have a range of high quality articles about healing, which I have categorized for you, for easy viewing.

As well as this, my favorites feature my personal “STAR BLOGGER EXCELLENCE- AWARD”. I hope you agree with my choices! Let me know…

Quality Articles About Healing

HEALING THE MIND & EMOTIONS

* STAR BLOGGER- EXCELLENCE AWARD *
Isabella Mori presents be playful? here are 7 ideas posted at change therapy.

She comments: “aaah! isn’t playing wonderful? and it’s healing. i’m gratefully submitting this post, a guest article by david of beplayful.org, serving up a delightful smorgasbord of how we can be playful.” My comment: this is for sure one of the better healing blogs…., so I’d check it out. Fun!

* STAR BLOGGER- EXCELLENCE AWARD *
Alex Blackwell presents 30 True Things You Need to Know Now posted at The Next 45 Years.

While this is a ‘vague’ title that could be about ‘anything’, it actually is about ‘something’ that you should really read! Despite the weak title, I still nominate Alex for the excellence award, as the content of his blog is well… eh… excellent.

INTERESTING
Kathleen Gage presents The higher my expectations, the lower my serenity. posted at ‘Daily Awareness’, saying, “The higher my expectations, the lower my serenity. The first time I heard this from my spiritual mentor over 25 years ago, I had a difficult time wrapping my mind around it. It was during a time I wanted to control things that seemed uncontrollable; like people, places and things. Life was in turmoil and I simply wanted some semblance of order. It seemed the more I tried to control and the more I expected people to comply to my way of doing things, the more out of control things became. The challenge for me was understanding the difference between expectancy and expectations.”

INTERESTING
Carolyn Lee Boyd presents Healing the Cosmic Woman’s Wound posted at ‘Goddess in a Teapot’, saying, “This is a retelling and interpretation of the Selkie story as a metaphor for the despair women feel over their loss of freedom and the transformative power of reclaiming that freedom.”

GOOD
Jewel presents 7 Steps To Positive Thinking saying, “Here are seven great tips to help you make it through the hours, days, weeks and years of manifesting through positive thought.”

VERY GOOD

Chris Edgar presents Thoughts On Conscious Suffering posted at ‘Purpose Power Coaching’, saying, “The most effective inner work I’ve done on myself has been what’s often called “conscious suffering.” By this, I mean simply letting myself fully experience emotions I haven’t allowed myself to feel in the past. This kind of experience is rarely pleasant, but I find more calm and focus in my life — and the sensation I let myself experience becomes less agonizing — every time I do it.”

Wayne C. Allen presents Self-less Expression posted at ‘The Phoenix Centre Blog’, saying, “To put it baldly, the goal is not to figure out we have a body, only to “give it up,” and become all spiritual. It’s about accepting ourselves exactly and precisely as we are. And then, finding a way, or multiple ways, to be the totality of who we are.”

Shirley presents 10 Tips to Help You Feel Better. posted at ‘Brighter Days for you and me!’, saying, “Too often I find myself worn-out, tense, worried, or just plain bored.

ALTERNATIVE HEALTH THERAPY

INTERESTING
Vera Lang presents Using a Health Savings Account to Pay for Alternative Medicine posted at ‘Be Safe Insure .com’ saying, “Health Savings Accounts allow you to set up a tax-deductible account to pay for medical expenses that are not covered by your health insurance. These include expenses to cover your deductible, and other medical expenses like dental and eyeglasses. But many don’t realize that HSA funds can be used to pay for virtually any type of medical service, as long as it pertains to the treatment or prevention of a specific health condition.”

Deb Serani> presents Magnetic Therapy posted at ‘Dr. Deb’ saying, “This post looks at the alternative healing method using magnetic therapy.”

Metaliphe presents Secrets Can Be Poison posted at ‘Chandra Unplugged – No nonsense, Straight-up blogging from a Life Coach’ saying, “Are you keeping a secret about yourself that’s killing you on the inside?

Hello to you all in our healing community. Starting to like these carnivals… like friends and colleagues sharing our healing knowledge and working through our own issues, sharing and caring, learning and growing together.

That is one aspect of what ‘We Are One World Healing‘ is all about: healing the self. You see, when you heal yourself, sooner or later, you’ll realize we’re all one. And with that sense of total compassion, healing the world is inevitable. Somewhere on the path, it becomes an ‘of course’, rather than a ‘special’ thing to do. However, to me, participating in ‘We Are One World Healing‘ is still very special. I love it and invite you all to consider joining in.

Now, about the carnival: magically, again, the submissions fell into neat little themes, so I grouped them as such. Glance at the topics and begin this carnival where it meets you interest, and you can go on from there.

Please tumble and have fun while at it.

Healing Fatherhood

I enjoyed reading Alex Blackwell’s Confessions from a Recovering Father. It’s refreshingly not a ‘how to’ article, but rather a ‘we’re all human, this is my story and this is where I’m at when it comes to parenting’-article. I trust Alex will find the other two articles of healing interest. Being a young parent, I cherished his implied wise advice.

Gabriella Kortsch, Ph.D. presents Fatherless Women: What Happens to the Adult Woman Who Was Raised Without Her Father?. Fathers may be absent due to death, abandonment, divorce, ‘physically present but emotionally absent’ e.g. a workaholic or disappointing father… Differing types of absence vary consequences. A healthy emotional and socio-psychological developmental of girls in their early years of life require a positive paternal role model. Another piece of the puzzle on right parenting.

Debra Moorhead presents How to Quit Smoking or Help Someone Quit Smoking. This article is really written from a daughter-to-a-father perspective, and complements the other 2 articles on parenting in someway.

How hard the struggle is to actually quit smoking are presented by Ben Litwack in Smoking Cessation Day 0 | Your Parity posted at Your Parity. His account of his bid to quit smoking. I checked the other posts at his website, and it’s been already 3 weeks now that he’s quit. CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!! Coming from a household where both parents smoked and where neither one can give it up without the other, I can very much relate to the healing smoking addiction theme of this part of the carnival.

Qigong, Energy Healing

Chris presents The Scientist, The Master and The Lunatic: Three Perspectives on the Healing Art of Qigong.

Last week I posted an article (w/ video) on this blog about ‘Earth Hour‘. Earth hour is an Australian initiative whereby everyone turned off the lights for 1 hr. It is about a change of mind & habit, for good: moving from indulgence to care, share & love for the planet. If we live simply, we (all 6+ billion of us) can simply live. Be inspired by the video and initiative, embracing its wisdom into your daily life!

General Healing, Self-Help, Love

The next article makes me say: love is all there is. Love yourself, love others, and guess what, more love will come back to you. Love is all there is. Love is a high vibration. By choosing love over lower energic vibrations (e.g. guilt, nagging, violence, anger..) you change your whole energetic field around you, making your world brighter and brighter. You’ll become attractive to the love of others. It’s amazing.

Frederic Premji calls his article Become A Better Person In Just 7 Days. Personally, I feel you don’t need a week! It’s a breath at a time. Breath in love, give it to yourself, then, share it with others. Next breath… ditto.

Here’s a good article by Jennifer Mannion: Healing From Within. Informative and well-researched article on health, healing and self-development – a joy to read. Makes you want to read more of her blog.

Lexi Sundell wrotes Are You Trapped in a Brain Closet?. Leave the preconceived ideas others have about you and walk out of those tight little brain closets!

David B. Bohl presents It?s All In Your Head: Healing the Body Through the Mind. We’ve all heard the term “mind over matter.” Have you ever thought about how that applies to your health? We’ve also heard about psychosomatic illness or mind/body illness. Have you ever been told it’s all in your head when you were ill and there was no apparent cause?

Semi-Charmed Wife presents Stop Reliving the Past. Another aspect of healing is to be in the bliss, and not dwell on negativity. This article is a good reminder of that.

Another article on a healthy attitude, written by the Tip Diva: Top Ten Tips – Dealing With A Medical Diagnosis. Getting any medical diagnosis, regardless of the seriousness, can be a frightening experience. Unfortunately, you can’t change the diagnosis, but you can take charge, and here’s how.

Physical Wellness

Jimson Lee from SpeedEndurance.com wrote How Much Sleep Do I Need?. This is an insightful article, I thought, worth a read.

Weight Loss Dude: Why Don’t You Just Eat Less?.

James D. Brausch presents Costa Rica Massage School.

Fitness

Tola Seng: The Importance of Physical Fitness in Your Spiritual Journey.

Mike Remer: Celebrating! | My Path To Fitness Blog.

Paul Heingarten:Workout ebooks. It is up to each one of us to make positive changes to improve our health and well-being. In the process, we can reclaim our lives.

Other

Susan Jacobs presents Waking Up During Surgery: A Nightmarish Reality posted at Illinois Medical Malpractice Blog.

James Chambers presents Excessive Sweating Advice and Treatments.

Your Action

I hope that any or all of these articles make a difference in your own personal healing. Of course, please Digg or StumbleUpon the article. I would appreciate link to the carnival from all participants, so that more people can actually find the carnival.
Let your actions be a joy for yourself and others. May they heal those around you including you, may your spirit soar as a result of these.

All positive change starts in the mind. However, unless acted upon your highest choices, there can flourish.

I’m starting a new initiative: THE CARNIVAL OF WORLD HEALING. I hope you all will both enjoy reading it and participate in it.

Monthly editions.
Individual themes.
A valuable resource
Quality articles.
Inspirational content.

The Carnival of World Healing is a bi-monthly collection of inspiring blog articles on various topics of world healing: about realizing a world where we live in balance and harmony with each other and with the environment; about creating a place where the future generations and the past generations are honored and cared for as much as today’s generation; about a place where we have respect for nature and Mother Earth; and other such topics, like extending unconditional love to all people we meet (and how hard that is at times …lol).

Each month, we choose a different theme and will only include ‘on topic’ articles. What counts as ‘on topic’ may be medical or scientific studies, personal accounts, poetry, stories, insights and how-to’s — all within the context of world healing.

Volunteer to Host A Carnival of World Healing
I know this is a BIG job.
So, I am hoping I won’t have to do it all alone…
and seek carnival hosts for any of the future carnivals.

Carnival hosts typically enjoy several advantages:
1. link backs of all participants
2. StumbleUpon/Digg kickbacks
3. A blogroll link from this PR4 website in the weeks before, during, and after the hosting
4. incredible learning by reviewing the articles submitted
5. new friends and connections online

CARNIVAL OF HEALING

ARTICLES, IN ORDER
I received a thousand and one articles this week, including a few on HEALING. (This is a kind reminder that if your blog is on cooking or athletic training, and you want to be in the carnival of healing, then please be so kind so as to write about healing & wellness, self-help and directly related topics. I sincerely look forward to healing-oriented writings.)

Nonetheless, there were STILL quite a few good healing entries, and so I hope you enjoy this carnival!!!!!!
I start the carnival with the articles I like best.

TIP: 1. If you like this carnival, put a link to it on your own blog
TIP: 2. Press the Digg or StumbleUpon button at the bottom, so others are notified to come and enjoy this carnival too! Thanks for your contributions!!

THE CARNIVAL

A CHALLENGE FOR GOOD
Rob Moshe presents Live Your Best Life By Serving Others. posted at Rob Schaumer. BTW. Also read his article on ‘what to give for Valentine’. I think it’s good. Is this the very best article in the carnival? Well, given that this is a rather new blog, I think this is a nice position for Rob to be in. His article is all about giving and doing his share in caring for humanity using his skills and abilities. Join his challenge!

A LIFE WORTH LIVING
Carole G. McKay presents ‘A Message for the Children’ posted at Gold Post-it. I like Carole’s quest of healing the planet of the need for suicide. I read in the Economist a while ago that suicide is up 60% in the last 45 years. About 1 m die each year at their own hands. Too many of these deaths are avoidable. And being the solution is exactly what Carole is on about. Check it out if you have or know of a youngster/teenager, and share her info.

MARIANNE-INSPIRATION
Arvind Devalia presents Time to let your light shine posted at Arvind Devalia. Some powerful words from Marianne Williamson about healing the world. I like Marianne, and I like how Arvind gets to the essence of things. By eliminating extraneous words, we kind of achieve a ‘close up’ of the concept. Check out the links in the article too. Very healing thoughts.

ON MY WAY, ON ANOTHER PATH
Lexi Sundell presents Adventures with the Creative Muse Part Three posted at EnergiesofCreation.com. Here’s a story I can relate to — And hopefully you too!

DREAM WITH A GOAL
Jimson Lee presents Succeed through Passion Honesty & Pursuit of Excellence posted at Speed Endurance .com. This article shows the benefits of having strong core values and a sound written plan for the pursuit of your personal excellence. While this blog is intended for athletes, it has many articles – like this one – that are useful for all of us. You can see that Jimson is pursuing excellence and passion on this blog. It’s nice to see.

REAL YOGA (HATHA YOU)
Anmol Mehta presents Free Online Hatha Yoga Poses Galleries. I love hatha yoga, so this blog gets a vote from me. Check out the pose for spontaneous healing. It’s one of my favorites too.

EAT EAT EAT EAT EAT
isabella mori presents is overeating a problem for you? 22 questions to help you find an answer. posted at change therapy. I like this blog. It confronts you with yourself. Here she cruelly gives no solutions in the article, just a test, as a mirror for reflection, and then a tiny link to OA (overeaters anonymous). oh, and one to her ‘inbox’ in case you need therapy.

FREE AT LAST
Patricia Singleton presents What Other People Think About You Is None Of Your Business. posted at Spiritual Journey of a Lightworker.

GREEN LIVING
Tiffany Washko has an interesting Natural Family Living Blog, that is worth visiting.

HEAL YOUR TEETH
TheNourisher presents Forgotten tooth decay cure : heal your cavities and prevent root canals posted at Nourishedmagazine.com.au Master Site Feed. Cavities aren’t avoided by brushing; discover the true cause of dental decay.

SCRATCHING IS GOOD
Aparna presents Why scratching an itch provides relief and home remedies to relieve itching posted at Beauty and Personal Grooming.

BREATH
David B. Bohl presents Do You Know How To Harness Your Anxiety? posted at Slow Down Fast Today!.

NO SWEAT
James Chambers presents rel=”nofollow” target=”_blank”> Excessive Sweating Advice and Treatments posted at Hyperhidrosis.

SWEAT

MORE SWEAT

THE BUG
