This actually happened today. I went for a short walk this afternoon. About halfway through, near the playground my daughter likes to play at, I was hailed by a youngish man. He was a stranger to me, and dressed raggedly, carrying a large, dirty backpack. I’d seen him before, shouting […]
File this one under “better late than never.” Back in October, I was invited to share about my near death experience and recovery on the UFO Chronicles Podcast by the ever pleasant and professional Nik Hunter. I’d never done an interview quite like this before (although this was honestly more […]
This session was held on September 13, 2020 for a client with unrelated questions. It turned out The Chorus had more to say. The opening question was one about a vision the woman anchoring the session had of a large protective Reiki symbol (she’s a Reiki master herself) that she’d […]
The “things” you create — resentments, fears, barriers — are the property of the emotional self that created them. They exist as energetic structures within your field in the vibration you claimed as you created them, and will continue to rise to your awareness AS that vibration — aka downers […]
Consider this…the root of the word “health” is “whole.” Therefore, a healer isn’t always someone who diagnoses disease or performs surgery. A healer is anyone who helps others to become whole, who guides them back to what they’ve really always been. Fear is the great separator, the great divider. Fear […]
Just a few random thoughts until the next big download… 1. There is no objective truth. 2. When you believe you are thinking, you are actually listening. 3. Your beliefs (dis)allow thoughts to enter your awareness. 4. You decide to attach to some of those thoughts. 5. You do this […]
(This was written by my friend Ali today. I liked it so much I asked if I could share it here. It captures so well what’s been happening for many of us since 2020 began. Weird and wonderful and weary times. ~Daniel) Shallow spirituality is talking the talk. Deep spirituality […]
Come and get it! One spot left in Reiki 1 on February 22nd and Reiki 2 on February 29 in San Francisco! Contact me to reserve your spot!
Happiest of holiday seasons, Big Sisters and Brothers! I’ve been blessed to spend the majority of mine surrounded by family on the beaches and in the jungles of Costa Rica (which may find itself with a few new residents before long). The people here shine both in physical and emotional […]
Below is an interesting conversation between an old friend (my aunt, actually) and The Chorus about the nature of reality and the current energetic landscape. I transcribed as I heard the words. Questioner: Regarding the more intense energies coming in now. Where do they originate? Intermediately, not just Creator God. […]
There is no such thing as an unambiguously objective reality without a subjective consensus — which is an impossibility. From your vantage point as a co-creator of the collective human experience, and as the sole creator of your human experiential aspect, this must unambiguously be accepted as objectively true. Consider […]
While I came to Guilin to study Mandarin, half of my “class” time here is devoted to history and philosophy. Yesterday my teacher, Kolok, told me a stories about Laozi: his departure from Chengzhou riding backwards on a water buffalo, his writing of the Tao Te Ching at the behest […]
I arrived in Guilin, China late last evening and enjoyed my first full day here today. Tomorrow begins my study in Mandarin and Taiji, which I’m looking forward to immensely. As a part of my largely mundane reacquaintance with the city, I decided to get a massage. The 16+ hours […]
Bay Area Friends, join me! I’m happy to report that I’ll be providing Reiki sessions at the always wonderful Holistic Health Saloon at The Center SF this coming Saturday, November 16. I’ve had a wonderful experience both times I’ve participated in the past. There are lots of great modalities and […]
The energy lately seems to be slightly cloudy with a chance of weird. Lots of people have been complaining about difficulty focusing, emotional rollercoaster rides, intense dreams, and sleep alternating between insomnia and torpor. I personally have been finding it difficult to read more than a few pages at a […]
Here’s a small tip for exercising your intuition muscle. Find a multiple choice trivia quiz on a subject you have no knowledge or interest in. Read questions thoroughly, as if you were actually taking the quiz. Now read each of the multiple choice answers, paying attention to where you feel […]
Early in my recovery, I told a mentor that nothing in my life would come before being a good dad. He replied, without missing a beat, “No. You should put your recovery before everything else.” I didn’t understand this and was quite annoyed by his response. Sensing this, he continued, […]
Congratulations to the first ever graduating class of Kali-Ki Reiki and Wisdom School, San Francisco! I couldn’t have asked for a better group of open hearted souls to explore consciousness with. We learned the history and symbols of Reiki, practical approaches to all 16 Kali-Ki chakras and, you know, transcended […]
The ink should be dry by now, so I feel safe in sharing that I’ll officially be giving treatments out of a new studio in San Francisco! I’ll be sharing space with the wonderful folks at A Return to Health: South Shaolin Qi Gong & Chinese Medicine in the absolutely gorgeous Flood […]
I was sitting in a recovery meeting this morning, listening to people share their experiences. There was much talk of acceptance, and what that means. It occurred to me that the most foundational acceptance of any experience is that all we have purview over is the decision over HOW to […]
Learn Reiki in San Francisco! Daniel will be instructing a small group of students in Usui Shiki Ryoho and Kali-Ki Reiki 1 and 2 this October in San Francisco. Sign up now, as spots are extremely tight.
It is important to always monitor your energetic well-being, as this will help you to avoid many undesirable issues long before they begin to manifest in your body or your world. Pay close attention to the things that you are craving. Do you find yourself wanting to consume the nightly […]
Adopting the perspective that all circumstances in my life are lessons rather than obstacles, happenings or mere coincidence was perhaps the most powerful shift I’ve experienced. Before I learned this lesson, each difficult encounter or inconvenience was met by my small self with, at best, annoyance, and at worst frustration […]
77) I am entitled to miracles. I saw Marianne Williamson speak tonight in San Francisco at Manny’s. I don’t play politics too often these days, but I’ll support her message on whatever platform is available. She is out to change the American consciousness in so many kind, honest ways. PS: […]
