Inspired GuidanceBy Frank Coppieters

Your guides are here, in their multiple manifestations. They are sharing their love, their energetic presence andsome important information. During the period of the Equinox the portals between therealms are wide open for quite a few days.Use this opportunity. It is time to renew your vows to live an authentic life, your life. It is time to use your gifts,and please know that they are many,to activate your own potentialand to activate the new consciousnessthat wants to establish itself on earth. Know that everything that enters into your lifecan be used for the higher good. Balance the development of more and more openness withembracing the deep stillness that is your essence. Every time you go through the portal it becomes easier.You are not afraid to lose yourself.You are meeting a new aspect of your real self. You are taking this journey from a place of trustbecause you love creationand because you are able to hear the calling

Together in Reiki virtual circlesBy: Grainne Warner

We continue to explore the potential of coming together inReiki - holding hands to form a circle around the world, fillingthe world with Reiki, Love and Gratitude.

Taking part in these circles is both empowering and humbling.We connect with the consciously created field of Reiki we callReiki Home. We hold the essence of the poem, Home, in ourhearts as a potential in our lives, communities and the world.

With six circles held in 2017, we continue to explore differentvirtual platforms and functionalities required to grow to circlesto hundreds and perhaps thousands of people sitting togetherin Reiki.

Two teams are being established to handle both the logisticsand facilitation. Many different skills are required. If you wouldlike to get involved, please do get in touch.

Community Defined

Community is the spirit, the guiding light of the tribe,

whereby people come together in order to fulfill a specific purpose, to help others fulfill their purpose, and to take care of one another.

The goal of the community is to make sure that each member of the community is heard and

is properly giving the gifts he has brought to this world.

Without this giving, the community dies.

And without the community, the individual is left without a place

where he can contribute.

The community is that grounding place where people come and share their gifts

and receive from others.

Why I Volunteer

Donna Harris I was an observing friend of Reiki Home forfour years. Then with the generous donationof land in Trinidad, my imagination wassparked. I became an official 'volunteer'.

In my work as a Reiki Master and Lifewalk coach, I meetmany people who experience spiritual and emotionalhomelessness. Native Traditions influence my conviction tomaintain a connection with Mother Earth; it is grounding whenwe can experience all aspects of ourselves.

For me, Reiki Home offers us such a connection. It invites usto discover new ways of being together - to conceptualize,collaborate, and create. In Trinidad we're invited to let a visiontake root on pristine land.

When I visited the land, I felt the land calling me and us to:

Honor Mother Earth by exploring environmentallyfriendly, sustainable ways to develop the land.Deepen our social consciousness as we honor thecultural practices of the Indigenous People.Open our doors to include a broader Reiki Community.

I was profoundly awakened to a new consciousness on theReiki Home Trinidad land. We smudged with white sage,gave tobacco offerings to the land in gratitude and placed adream catcher by the stream. Later, with a sense ofwonderment, we learned of the similarities between NorthAmerican and Caribbean Native practices. It is a fine line ofseparation.

I believe Reiki Home is inviting us to find home withinourselves, with others and to honor and preserve our planet. Ihave faith that Reiki is guiding us.
