Archangel Jeremiel

In heaven there are archangels and angels. They are Divine beings, there to help us. The archangels all have major missions/tasks assigned to them. I have previously written about one of my favorite archangels, Archangel Micheal. Archangel Jeremiel Today, I want to introduce you to another important... 

Got Jesus?

Healing Journey with the Medicine Buddha

As I am just fulfilling a print order for one of my favorite paintings, the Medicine Buddha, I thought to tell you a bit about how I make my art, as well as... 

Claim Your Energy Back: Detach Others’ Aka Cords

Why manage Aka cords

The aka cords can become negative attachments which drain your energy. Even aka cords amongst loving family members. For example, you can imagine the ‘drain’ from a mother who wants a son to go to graduate school doing accounting, while he knows inside himself that he must pursue a music career.

For professionals (eg Reiki practitioners) who do healing energy work for others, knowing how to manage aka cords is important. Clients may want to continue to draw energy from you after the session is over. This can be draining for the professional energy working. In addition, it can be ‘addictive’ for clients.

Anybody in my Reiki healing energy classes knows that I insist that after every session they first close the aura of the client and ‘lock in’ the Reiki healing energy in their client. Subsequently, they are to sweep their own aura and cut off all connections to the person they just worked on. Taking it one step further, when the client has left, I want them to wash their hands under cold water to further purify their own body. This way, clients don’t continue to draw energy through the aka cord.

Beyond this, when I after a client treatment find myself thinking about this client more than once, I do the ritual of cutting our aka cord again. It is not fair to myself nor other clients to have a continuous drain leading to someone else.

And last but not least, about once a month or so, I conduct an overall aka cutting ritual.

How to manage Aka cords, overall

In the Huna teachings, you first ask to be shown the beneficial cords. You send love, gratitude and blessings down these cords. Then, you ask to be shown ones that do no longer serve you. You cut these.

You can manage your own aka threads once you’ve first become aware of them. If you work with angels, you could ask your guardian angel to do it for you.

Sometimes, I cut all aka cords, knowing that the important ones (e.g. with my loved ones and family) will reestablish themselves. This simple ritual is particularly useful when I feel tired or drained and I can’t seem to figure out why I feel drained. The ritual results in an immediate shift whereby I feel much lighter.

Conclusion

Whether you choose to detach aka cords one by one as they materialize, or if you prefer to conduct a more rigorous aka cord cutting ritual from time to time, it is important to maintain only those that serve you.

I first stumbled upon the term ‘aka cord’ when giving a Reiki treatment for a very experienced and knowledgeable healer. At one point during the treatment, I felt the urge to symbolically ‘cut-off’ an attachment to a specific person for her. Symbolically, I held the attachment...

When World Healing co-incides with another event, embrace it!

I received two emails this morning, with the same message: significant events on the World Healing day. My spontaneous reaction: do not grief, but pray. Embrace the past, when healing your future. One of the emails mentioned how a sibling had passed away on July 29. Now in the spirit-world, she is a...

Love Unconditionally

THE OBSERVATION

It’s been a big week. The list of grave client issues that surfaced in my healing practice this week is long. They included suicidal tendencies, child witnessing a murder, past life drowing, child and sexual abuse and a breast cancer alarm. Additionally, there were all sorts of office issues, career & money challenges; and relationship/partner issues.

THE MESSAGE

While these seem quite unrelated issues, the Reiki clairaudient messages I received this week for the various clients actually had something in common. They built a wider perspective for clients to help them conceive peace and find inner-harmony, no matter what happened in their past, present or future. It reminded me that we should see ourselves as Spiritual Beings (souls) with Earthen experiences (as oposed to human beings with spiritual moments).

Clients were encouraged to be more soulful, to reach a level of unattachment from their contextual environment, and to apply unconditional love when relating to that environment. It was a new perspective and choice: by seeing love and being love, they would actually receive love and live in love.

WHAT DOES UNCONDITIONAL LOVE MEAN?

“Soul love is a quality of being, a shining light that lifts, soothes, and comforts all who come within its sphere of influence.” writes the spiritual writer, Sayana Roman, in her book ‘Soul Love‘. (The book is one of my favorites.)

“Soul love is serene because it is unconditional. Your soul loves without needing to receive anything in return.
It does not measure how much love to give by how deserving people are. Your soul offers love without needing appreciation, acknowledgment, praise or reward for its love. Soul love does not ‘come and go’, based on the actions & reactions of others. Your soul gives love to others without caring how others use this love or even if they use it.

Feel the serenity that comes from giving love without needing to receive anything in return.”

YOUR NEXT STEP

So, as we are ALL souls with earthen experiences, this week’s shared reiki messages actually apply to us all, and we can all enjoy the serenity that comes from living in unconditional love.

Ahhh, sounds nice but not easy (read: impossible) to give unconditional love to one’s least favorite persons? Give yourself a surprise. Try it, by simply giving unconditional love to at least 4 people today. Just think it, say it, show it, live it. Start by giving it to yourself! You can do it. Observe the changes that occur within you and surrounding you as you do so. Continue and do 4 more tomorrow and each day following. Include more and more people you havent been fond of in the past.

Can Reiki Harm?

I just received the following question if Reiki can harm, which I thought to share on this blog. “My very good friend just came back after a year in Ashram in India where she was exposed to prolific teachings of Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev. While there, she was advised to be very careful with Reiki....
