Changing Perceptions

Twenty-four days after my 50th birthday, I received a phonecall from “No Caller ID.” You know those calls, the ones we typically never answer? It was 9:16pm, and as the mother of two grown children, I didn’t want to miss an important call…just in case.
I won’t detail that call here because it was my catalyst to publish my memoir “The Night Yoda Phoned” nine months later, however, suffice it to say that this unknown caller (who told me his name was Sun from Tibet) proceeded to recount my life’s challenges and concerns during that eight minute conversation:

• I was feeling like my life’s calling, public education, was coming to an end.
• I was unsure that I was prepared to take the next step.
• I couldn’t even define what that next step was!
• Was I going to be financially secure?
• How was I going to provide for my family? I carried the health insurance and earned the higher salary!

I had resigned from my educational administrative job the previous school year to return to teaching and my love for the ancient Japanese healing modality, Reiki. In previous years I had been successful incorporating elementary teaching with part-time work as a Reiki practitioner. Through a series of eye-opening experiences, I was led out of administration and back to teaching students and my healing work.
But as the school year progressed, I was feeling more and more alienated by the teaching profession and more and more drawn to the intuitive messages I was delivering to my clients.

And then I received the phonecall from the man I call “Yoda.”
​He told me that I was a powerful healer and the world was waiting for me to step into this work.

In this past year I retired from my teaching position, stepped full-time into my Intuitive Reiki work, purchased a building and opened Beleno Spiritual Healing Center. I discovered many, many truths throughout this last year. Here are just a few:

• We create our reality through the feelings connected to our thoughts.
• Listening to your heart and having unwavering faith is essential in fulfilling your dreams.
• Ditching all perceptions that don’t serve us is necessary in moving forward.

But the most important truth that I discovered is about Reiki:

• Reiki can change your life.

That’s a pretty strong statement, I know! But here’s why I know that it is my truth:
My Reiki work can release subconscious beliefs. These subconscious beliefs are what are emotionally holding us back from fulfilling our deepest desires:

• I’m not smart, pretty, self-confident… (fill in the blank) enough to make that happen.
• Mainstream structures (medical, religious, educational, political) control us and we are powerless against them.
• I’m not worthy to receive… (fill in the blank).
• (Fill in the blank)…happens as we age. It’s inevitable.
• And probably the most damaging of all: We are powerless to change our health and disease.

The human “race” needs to slow down and take a look at what we are creating, after all, we are creation. Every thought, feeling and word is embodied in energy and we need to consider the impact of each and every one of them. To do that takes time: time for self-reflection, time to breathe, time to connect with humanity and time to give and receive LOVE.
I know that Reiki can change your life because it has completely transformed mine; not simply because it has become my life’s work, but because of the release of my subconscious beliefs:

• I no longer dwell in fear, anxiety or worry about the future because I know I can shift my reality in an instant by how I react to it.
• I know that expressing love for everything on Earth, especially for my so-called enemies, can change the outcome of my reality (and theirs)!
• Sending Reiki energy to people and situations makes me feel as if I am always “doing something” -contributing to the positive shift we all desire to see in the world.
•  And most importantly, I am never, ever a victim. Nothing can happen to me that I have not allowed into my life: not crime, disease, loss or arguments. If I have let them into my life, then they are there for a reason and it’s up to me to figure out why and release them.

It’s my hope that you discover Reiki as well. If you are a Reiki practitioner, hold your practice to the highest standard possible. Allow yourself to fully believe that this energy modality works. Honor your gift of empowering humanity.

That being said, I’ve manifested a Reiki symbol which specifically releases these subconscious patterns of belief (with an amazing story to go along!). I use this symbol daily with my clients and have seen truly transformational shifts. I’m holding a special attunement for this symbol for any Reiki practitioner who desires to add a new dimension to their Reiki practice and is already attuned to at least  level 2.
