There are many forms of abuse, that is, when one person hurts another causing pain, trauma and suffering.  Recently I have talked about adult relationships and how one party overpowers or bullies the other. Their partner unconsciously colludes with the abuser, sometimes unknowingly giving their own power to the bully. What happens when a child is overpowered (by nature the power valance is skewed since the child is dependent and th

Here is Carla’s description of her experience of Reiki Fusion:   “Lying on my stomach, on the message table, I felt blocked. I felt like a brick with no way to ever break through. It was how I always felt, hopeless.   As the session started I felt like it was going to be a long silent moment. What if I didn’t have anything to say? What if I didn’t feel a thing?

"I just finished a Reiki Fusion  session with Cynthia. It was very tough for me. It surprised me with how quickly I began to see images within. It began with more of a feeling, like pure energy being held in a box. But then I saw swirly party ribbons with long white balloons that had bright flowers on them.

Whenever I tried to imagine her face, I could never grasp her image. It would always flicker. This time I was able to see the image clearly. She was sitting on the floor, leaning back on our old couch. She was wearing a dark gray Mickie Mouse...

"During the Reiki Fusion session, I was curled up in a ball. I realize that is symbolic for how I lived my whole life. I turned away from life and challenges and withdrew. I was passive and closed off. I was scared all the time, and I didn't even know what I was scared of. I never tried anything new. I was a machine, a steam engine: I just kept going without feeling.

I was to be the receiver of their practice, and I was nervous.   Before I climbed on the table for the Reiki session, I noticed the heart hanging on the bathroom door in the room.
