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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Things became much clearer once I started thinking of everything as energy. Thoughts, food, sound, light, emotions, all of them are energy in one form or another. Even the physical world of “solid” material is composed of energy coalescing into form based on our intentions. This is particularly helpful when […]
Allowing for a moment that we create our own realities, let’s look at our conscious beliefs and how the structures they build for us cause limitation. Take any limiting belief you like, perhaps not beginning with any base assumptions like gravity, but with something personal. Let’s use “I am overweight” […]
When you hold a thought, you are creating or reinforcing the object of that thought simultaneously in both the structures of space and time. They are not one and the same, although they play equal parts in the reality you project for yourself. Play with this equation and you may […]
I’ve been a bit quiet of late. I suppose this could be called a time of recuperation or integration after my extended stay in China, although it could just as easily (and probably more honestly) be called “tired.” No matter the label I attach to it, it has been a […]
Aggression is a mask worn by fear, projected at an enemy. When there is no fear, there is no enemy. When there is no enemy, you are invulnerable. Any attack you endeavor is an attack on your own invulnerability. “That which you damn damns you back.” ~Paul Selig **** Everything […]
Humans are empathic by nature, although many don’t recognize it beyond feeling low when seeing another cry. That doesn’t mean they aren’t subject to its wider ramifications, however, any more than you are as a Knowing empath. When someone is projecting negativity your way, always remember a few things. […]
Continuing our work with metadata today, we’re going to rename something and free up some space… Consider for a moment an item that you “own.” Choose any item that you neither cherish nor dislike. Maybe it’s a dollar bill, maybe it’s a vase, maybe it’s an article of clothing. It […]
Quite often, agitation is the result of a fear of a semi-conscious expectation not being met. This can manifest itself as irritation, sometimes felt physically, with people or situations around you. When you feel that impatient energy (I feel it as pressure and crawling skin) rise from your midsection upward, […]
I’m not one who enjoys the details. I never have been. As a computer programmer, I loved the metadata and the data structures themselves. As a Reiki practitioner, I work far more with the subtle body and emotions than I do with physical ailments. As a writer, I am more […]
Let’s talk about names for a moment. In each waking moment, you are making a claim to yourself and to the Universe as to how you currently are choosing to experience yourself. You are naming yourself. I am Daniel. I am Sad. I am Happy. In so doing, you are […]
This society we've built on fear and separation leads to people looking for escape by any means necessary. Some use drugs, some use sex, some use television or religion or gambling or food or money. The problem and the result are the same -- a self defeating cycle of isolation and shame.
I sat down to write a quick example of an exercise I use from time to time to start my day off clear after leaving the house. I felt a connection immediately as I opened the browser to begin typing...
