Embracing Shadow: Solstice Wisdom + Guided Meditation

Wisdom Rising

12/23/24 • 53 min

Send Us a Message!

Curious about how the winter solstice can guide you through reflection and renewal? In this episode, we illuminate the spiritual significance of embracing the longest night of the year as a powerful time for transformation and balance. Learn how turning inward and confronting our shadow aspects can actually awaken our inner light and facilitate healing. Christine shares a guided meditation designed to help process and release emotions, restoring harmony during this sacred season.
Join us as we navigate the depths of solstice symbolism, drawing intriguing parallels to mythological journeys such as Inanna's descent into the underworld. We explore the importance of shedding superficial layers to uncover our true, authentic selves and discuss how this process of transformation mirrors the Phoenix rising from the ashes. This season offers a unique opportunity to reflect on what no longer serves us and to embrace perceived flaws as strengths, setting the stage for growth and renewal when the light returns.
In our exploration of personal experiences with the winter solstice, we emphasize the need for individual reflection and self-awareness. While some may find this season stressful and filled with consumerism, others discover a time of rest, creativity, and inspiration. By balancing activity with moments of quiet reflection, we are encouraged to assess our needs and release preconceived notions. Whether you seek solitude or engage in social festivities, find what truly nourishes you during this time and make space for your own unique interpretations of the solstice’s energy.

Unlock the secrets of spiritual channeling in this episode of Wisdom Rising. Have you ever wondered if channeling is only available to a few select people? In this episode, we boldly challenge this notion, sharing how anyone can embrace this empowering practice. At the Moon Rising Shamanic Institute, we celebrate channeling as an inclusive journey where art, writing, and even the culinary arts can become mediums for divine connection. Discover how self-awareness and self-care are pivotal in maintaining your spiritual alignment, allowing you to harness the full potential of your spiritual gifts and open you to your innate channeling abilities.
We discuss the nuances of conscious, intuitive, and trance channeling, emphasizing the importance of clear intentions and safety. You’ll learn how to differentiate between these forms and understand the powerful role of creativity and co-creation with the divine. By breaking down conventional perceptions and exploring the energy centers of the third eye and sacral chakras, we invite you to expand your spiritual horizons and nurture your unique connection with the spirit realm.
This episode also delves into the transformative power of alignment and divine flow. We talk about how aligning with your true self allows you to receive inspiration, healing, and guidance, and why recognizing when you are out of alignment is crucial for spiritual growth. Embrace your worthiness to connect with the divine and celebrate your spiritual journey. With personal stories and reflective prompts, we encourage you to say "yes" to your spiritual gifts and explore the possibilities of offering your channeling services to the world. Step into your potential and bask in the divine inspiration that is waiting to flow through you.

Hello hello and welcome back to another episode of ReikiCafe Radio! This week join ReikiCafe professors Christine Renee and Isabel Wells as we discuss what it means to live a Reiki lifestyle!
Whether we realize it or not, we are always living a Reiki lifestyle, because we are Reiki! But when we bring conscious awareness to our daily experiences and allow Reiki to flow through them with intention, we level up.
By creating rituals and routines that incorporate Reiki into our day to day lives, we create patterns and connections in our subconscious mind that allow Reiki to become more than something we do during a session- it becomes the way we live our lives.
This week on the show, join us as we discuss what living a Reiki lifestyle means for us and explore tips and tricks for how to incorporate Reiki in to yours, including:

Sending Reiki to your bed and infusing your sleep with Reiki
Sending Reiki to your toothbrush and shower head
Taking a Reiki walk
Reiki-ing your food and water
Using Reiki to clean your dishes
And so much more!

So if you're ready, grab your tea or coffee and join us as we sip our way through this week's episode!

Gassho, Gratitude, and Guidance

Wisdom Rising

11/29/21 • 38 min

Send Us a Message!

Welcome back to another episode of ReikiCafe Radio! This week we are joined by ReikiCafe Professors, Bruce Taylor and Christine Renee, as they talk through gratitude, Gassho, and gratitude practices.
Gassho is a fundamental aspect of a Reiki practice. It is the foundation of Usui Reiki Ryoho, represented by bringing your hands together in prayer position. The practice of Gassho is symbolic for non-duality. It is a physical representation of bringing both sides of your being, the masculine and feminine energies, into the center in gratitude for the present moment.
Gassho is a way to express gratitude with your whole being, to bring every aspect of your being into balance and connection so that you can foster a new connection with Reiki energy. Translated, Gassho can be taken to mean, 'With all of my heart, thank you.' Often, Gassho is taught as a traditional practice during Reiki trainings, and is also taught as Namaste in yogic teachings, but many Reiki students stumble upon Gassho through their own experiences.
To practice Gassho as a Reiki practice, you keep your hands parted slightly so you can feel the energy between your palms. This practice heightens your sensitivity to Reiki energy, and brings new perspective to your practice. The energy that resides between your palms in a Gassho practice is the energy of the Universe- it is the love that exists in all creation. Gassho is a moment to recognize the oneness of all things, and as you hold that energy over your heart, you bring yourself back to rest in that connection.
Not only does Gassho offer a space to come back into connection with the energy of the Universe, it also brings a balance to the Chakras. As your hands rest at Heart center, you are bringing the energy of the lower three Chakras to connect with the energy of the upper three Chakras. Here at the center of your being, you bring yourself back into balance, away form duality, and into the energy of oneness.
As a practice, Gassho can be a wonderful addition to a gratitude routine. Having a mindset centered around gratitude strengthens our presence and clarity as Reiki practitioners. Gratitude can be for everything, the big and the small. Each moment we express gratitude, we express our awareness and appreciation for the present moment to the Universe. You allow yourself to expand in light and love as you bring yourself into the present moment and acknowledge it's blessings.

Hello and welcome back to ReikiCafe Radio! This week, join host Christine Renee as she interviews Sam Goddard, Reiki Master Teacher, author, and principal of the Devon School of Reiki, on her latest book, The Reiki Guide: A Journey of Transformation. Written for every stage of the Reiki journey, this book is beautifully designed and full of valuable information that makes it a blessing to the Reiki community.
But who better to tell you about the book than the author herself? this episode is fully of inspiring storied, Reiki information, and guidance, in addition to beautiful explanations of how this book came to be.
"Change can often create challenges. But knowing you have effective tools, like the energy therapy of Reiki, to help you ride the roller coaster of life objectively can make a significant difference. Through personal vignettes, live the story of one Reiki practitioner and master teacher who found how this empowering tool brought balance to her life on a physical, emotional, and spiritual level.
This introductory text shows that no magic power or special gift is required, and it offers you a hand in finding the bridge that is right for you to consciously cross in your own time and at your own pace. Anyone can practice Reiki, and when we start to open to a more energetic view of life, we simply start to remember what we already know on some deeper level."
We hope you enjoy this week's episode. If you'd like to purchase this book, you can get it here!
