WELCOME EVERYONE, TO A MAGICAL 2010 
Soothing Reiki energy to you all! I hope you made it through the snow and ice unscathed and healthy? I have to admit to witnessing more than one new dance form recently, as pedestrians tentatively made their way through the treacherous weather! My year started with a delightful sense of excitement . A strong, tingling, powerful energy felt tantalizingly ready to bring to fruition all that our dreams and visualisations could manifest. I felt alive when I thought about this energy and was drawn to listen intently to my guides and spiritual teachers. It seems the time is right, we’ve read the books, seen the films, done all the workshops, now we’re being called to walk the talk. It’s a time of personal growth and self realisation; using the knowledge we’ve accumulated so far to facilitate growth. We are all being supported to make changes in our lives right now, changes that raise the level of our energy, changes that enable us to get a taste of our own potential. We are being asked to make our choices from a place of love, to stand in our power. The energy is intense, it asks us to TRUST and BELIEVE. A powerful sense of adventure can be ignited, if you let the magnificent spark awaken inside you. Change marks the beginning, the beginning of something special that will reflect out our own unique excellent potential. As we tread the Reiki path we are all guided, guided to say the right thing, act on our intuition, move our hands to the right spot on the body, make decisions that are divinely guided. It’s time to accept that this is a powerful Universal energy that can affect and heal every area of your life, not just when we’re attending to someone else as a channel for healing. You believe that it can bring healing to others? then shine forth as an example of that healing. Change comes from within, it relies on the belief in yourself, your own personal power and your ability to trust and believe that your inner knowing is wise beyond measure. That your heart will guide you, the Universal energy or God energy that you work with will guide you. Release any limiting beliefs, ties to the past, all that’s not helpful to you anymore -release, release, release. Review your choices, the paths that are open to you, open yourself to options that as yet you’re not even aware of. There are doorways appearing and opening everywhere, new opportunities flowing to us right here, right now. Often we walk with our eyes half closed because of our fear that the unknown poses to us. Change your perception and see them as opportunities of delight. Doorways can be hidden behind, they can be held tight shut with bolts and keys, they can fly open and slam closed. Doorways can be entrances or exits to hidden magical dimensions and wonder, they can lay half hidden awaiting your discovery. You yourself, your body provides a doorway to an awakening of your true potential, to self-realisation. Nothing outside of us changes without changes to the inside. Take up the invitation; spend time meditating and looking around inside of yourself. Embrace the present moment now, as a powerful, glittering symbol of your potential. Feel yourself fill up to overflowing with excitement and anticipation for what you can manifest, walk confidently through the doorway and into the light. STEP INTO THE DREAM prepared for an expanded sense of possibilities and a greater knowing of self as a powerful creator of dreams come true. It’s a time for setting all your doubts and uncertainties free in the Universe with the intention that they are transmuted into love and light. It’s a time to trust that you are fully supported and loved. Reiki has opened numerous doorways for me since I was attuned, this year we start a new adventure - I can feel it and I’m flowing with it, you too can choose to accept the invitation that it offers. Trust and move forward. Reiki is a healing energy, working for your highest good; it is always there to support each and every one of us. If you trust it enough to offer it with love to others then surely you trust it enough to guide you to wholeness. See the doorway?
Eckhart Tolle - Create a better life From the very first paragraph the words of Eckhart Tolle touched so deep into an inner wisdom I had felt about this earth, that it sent shivers down my arms. Deep releasing breaths followed with every couple of pages. Things I’d been energetically aware of since birth were confirmed in Eckhart's writing. It felt like someone was brave enough to say it how it is, to truly walk the talk where most of us don't necessarily 'dare to share' what we feel deep inside. An energetically shifting read.

We put thirty spokes together and call it a wheel; But it is on the space where there is nothing that the usefulness of the wheel depends. We turn clay to make a vessel, We pierce doors and windows to make a house; Therefore just as we take advantage of what is, – Lao Tzu, On Nothing
Stand or sit with eyes closed or half open, place your hands in the Gassho position, (hands in the prayer position in front of your heart) stay with this for a few minuets. Intend to use the Reiki energy to cleanse and activate your energy body. Maintain the Gassho position and separate your hands slowly feel the energy between your palms, slowly raise your hands above your head as high as you can. Palms should be 8 to 12 inches apart. Let the energy continue to build between your palms and turn your palms downwards facing your crown chakra. Visualise and intend that you are receiving a Reiki shower. The Reiki is flowing down over and through your whole body through your Aura and then into your physical body. Intend that you are cleansing and removing negative energy. Now visualise the Power Symbol within the shower, say its mantra three times imagine it vibrating through your energy body. Slowly let your hands scan down over your face and body and when you get to your feet turn your palms towards the ground. Let the energy flow through your hands so that any negative energy flows out through your feet into the earth below; Intend that it is transformed and used by the planet, for the good of the planet. Repeat this three times……………………….. Finish back in the Gassho position spend a few moments concentrating on your breathing bringing your breath to a slow and steady rhythm. When you are ready gently rub your hands together – clap them if you wish, and then gently walk on the spot; reconnecting you to your physical presence. © Copyright Amanda Haddy 2008

In one of the spiritual support groups I run, the group recently began discussing the vast subject of circumstance, thought and feeling. As if this were not material enough for the group we ended up on the subject of difference. In our little group there were obvious differences between us, some were male, some female. There were age differences, we had different jobs, relationships status etc. However as we discussed the differences, we found that there were in fact a lot of similarities amongst us, despite the differences.
We found that what we shared in common was fears, doubts, insecurities, a need to be loved and accepted and to feel happy in our world. This made me think of difference on a larger scale. If our small group is representative of the world, then we may be able to see that although each and every one of us is unique, wonderful and divinely perfect in our own way, we also are very similar in that we share the same basic human needs of being accepted and loved and that our caution around these things leads us to be less than who we really are and who we are truly capable of being.
Isn’t this a shame, that our own true wonderful self is denied, hidden away or disowned in case someone hurts us, judges us or in some way adds to our insecurities. Of course at this time, we are all being guided to heal the hurts, blocks, pains and problems which hold us back and the universe assists us in doing this by presenting to us problems and situations which help us to face up the very things that we fear. You may be familiar with the phrase “What you resist- persists” in other words the more we try to hide away from something we need to look at, heal or confront, the more the universe will present the same situation to us time and again, in the hope that we will one day take advantage of the opportunity to heal and grow, that it is presenting to us.
The universe and in particular the angelic kingdom, is always concerned with our spiritual progression, for this is of course, the very reason that we are here on earth, to grow and evolve spiritually through the experiences that we face in life. So, with awareness of what is happening we may be able to make better choices which help us to heal; progress and find greater happiness. In our group, we looked at strategies for stopping the pattern of negative self talk and self flagellation and instead choose more positive things to think and say about ourselves. I suggested a strategy that works well for me and offer it to you as a possible way that you can look at the situations that occur in your life in a different way.
When a situation occurs, whether that be in a relationship with someone, or at work or home, or a problem arises, I ask the question, “what can I learn from that experience?” To start with you may need to ask the question retrospectively but in time and with increased awareness and practise, you may be able to do it in the moment. I find that by tuning out of the experience or problem and looking at what the experience or problem has to teach me, I find understanding, healing, opportunity and insight. This then leads me to choose more empowering thoughts, words or actions and it certainly helps me to confront the blockages and things that I still need to heal.
We are blessed at this time on earth with an abundance of healers, therapists, self help books, classes and workshops, all designed to help us to let go, move forward, heal and find joy and happiness. We need to take advantage of these things and fully use them for the purpose that they are intended, to help us to heal and progress along our spiritual journey, which right now is us in human form.
So, to return to the subject of difference, remember that if we all have the same things in common, it may be safer to take that emotional risk as it is likely that the person you need to say something to or reach out to feels the same way that you do and may be just to scared to take the risk themselves.
We are all very different and yet very similar in uniting in our differences and finding the similarities the world could be healed, wars stopped and people united in harmony and understanding.

The human body at peace with itself is more precious than the rarest gem. Cherish your body, it is yours this one lifetime only. The human form is won with difficulty, it is easy to lose. All worldly things are brief, like lightning in the sky. This life you must know as the tiny splash of a raindrop; Therefore set your goal, – Tsong Khapa, Buddhist Philosopher (1357-1419)
When you are attuned to Reiki energies it is like a series of light switches being turned on allowing you to become a conduit for energies that bring about powerful transformation for yourself and others. Magenta R.O.E.S. Reiki honours the Usui system and uses it as a foundation for bringing through the 22 Ray frequencies of Magenta R.O.E.S. Alchemy in a hands-on healing capacity, thereby bringing a state of equilibrium into your life on all levels. Magenta R.O.E.S. Reiki takes into consideration the way in which humanity has developed since the time of Usui and how our energy and consciousness is expanding. It is a beautiful marriage between Usui Reiki and Magenta R.O.E.S. Alchemy enabling the high vibration colour frequencies of the Rays to be received through the Reiki channel. Over-lighting this system we have Melchizedek, Metatron and the ‘Voice of the Rays’, a high frequency group consciousness of Angelic Beings, along with the ‘Guardians of the Rays’: Ascended Masters, Archangels, Elementals and Star Masters, each with their own unique personalities. Each of the 22 Rays has its own colour and characteristics, giving us an amazing array of earthly and other-worldly hues. Magenta R.O.E.S. Alchemy was first introduced by the Ascended Master Djwhal Khul through channel and inspirational artist Sue Fraser around the beginning of the year 2000. DK, as he is also known, taught Sue how to use the Rays in a practical and simple way to enable us to navigate through the current symptoms of the Ascension process here on planet Earth. Sue wrote down the information in her first book: ‘Introduction to Magenta R.O.E.S.’, which was first published in 2007 with information on the first 7 Rays and revised in 2008 to include the whole of the 22 Ray system. R.O.E.S. stands for ‘Rays of Emergence System’ and denotes the way in which the Rays have emerged into energies that are available to each and every one of us as tools to help us through issues that we encounter in our daily lives. The history and psychology of colour therapy is explained in the detailed, yet easy to understand ‘Magenta R.O.E.S. Introductory Course’ which is available on-line, as a correspondence course, and as a weekend face-to-face workshop. The course is available internationally. If you would like to help organize it in your own locality in exchange for a free place please contact me to discuss the requirements. Magenta R.O.E.S. Reiki Level 1 is also available on-line, as a correspondence course, or in person. The on-line course and the correspondence courses both include remote attunements and comprehensive manuals. This powerful workshop attunes you to be able to use Magenta R.O.E.S. Reiki on a personal basis for self-development and healing. You will have the opportunity to connect with the Ray energies, and their guardians, most appropriate for your personal growth and spiritual development at this time. We will practice healing techniques that you will be able to use practically on a daily basis. The Ray Guardians will over-light the proceedings during the whole of the workshop. On successful completion of the course you will receive a certificate enabling you to go on and train as a Magenta R.O.E.S. Reiki Practitioner. What does it include?

No is a complete sentence. It doesn’t need an explanation! It’s okay to say No when your limits are stretched to the max or less for that matter. It’s okay! You need to put you first. Your needs, then others will follow suit.” This applies to all aspects of your life, work, family, friends, rest and play. Only do what you really want to do, and what feels right, when you do things just to please others you give away your power your energy, by trying to please others rather than saying NO you are only serving their needs and not your own; which means it is not at the right energy frequency to service you for your highest good. This way of thinking can be a whole new concept, especially as you have to acknowledge the patterns that you have been following and now you have to change them, how many times do we try and keep the peace and every time we do this over the years we sacrifice a piece of ourselves. How many times do we put our clients to the top of our to do list, things they could do for them selves or its quicker if we do it ourselves, surely it must be better to overload our diaries and increase our stress levels!!! But does this really help them; they are not learning life’s lessons whether they fail or succeed should not be at a cost to us. We in turn are not learning our lessons, we do not need to feel responsible, we do not need to say yes all of the time, if we do not learn this lesson, then we will need to repeat this loop over and over again until we do; or to the point where we can no longer function; which ever comes first. Sometimes we need reminders so the Universe will keep giving us lessons until we learn them. We need to let go of control, let people make their own mistakes, we need to learn to be the bystander, a remote watcher and stop depriving people of their own learning experiences. The more we do, the more others expect us to do, so STOP and THINK next time demands are put on you, no matter how big or small the demand is, just ask yourself do I really need to say yes, or can I say NO. Choose NO I think you will find it liberating. People may find it strange at first as this is not your normal pattern, but they will get used to it, the world won’t come crashing down, your family won’t disown you and your friends will still love you. So be kind to yourself, do things that make your life easier, things that maintain your equilibrium, keep your head clear, take time to be on your own and time to stop thinking. How amazing is it that such as small word can have such a BIG meaning. Try it sometime. You just might be surprised at what happens.

A word for the year….. Words hold energy Words heal Words create impressions, images, expectations. Spoken silently or freed into the open, words can transform and inspire. Choose wisely the intention behind your words.
Nowadays I look to the New Year as a reminder to set my intentions, to rethink who and what I want to be. This year was different; I suddenly and unexpectedly became aware of the importance that words held for me. Words are like little capsules of energy, waiting to be explored and released. What’s even more fun is that they each take on new and different meaning for each person that encounters them. During the first week of January, I carried out a reiki self treatment, then spent time with my intention to choose an appropriate word that I could use as a power word. I thought other people might like to try this instead of struggling with resolutions. At first a number of words came to me and I wrote them all down. Each day I’d try out the words and see how they felt for me. How did my energy feel whilst I repeated them, how did they affect my mood. In the end it became obvious which word was right. As I started working with my power word, other words would crop up, like signs and symbols do sometimes. They would give me insights and clues as to how to work with my power word in order to know it more thoroughly, for instance I felt guided to work creatively with it to become more in tune with its energetic frequency. Reiki pours its healing energy into this word and makes it real for me. It gives me insights into my potential and into expanding my perception. I work with Reiki and link in with all my senses. Words seem to develop an energy that is exciting and exhilarating, used in combination with Reiki words can have a powerful effect on your health and wellbeing.
Contemplate for a while, perhaps a few days and think about what one word, or more if you so wish, you’re drawn to. Make it your intention to find the word that is right for you with the help of loving, supportive Reiki energy. Focus on this word. Ask Reiki to infuse it with healing energy and to impart its wisdom to you for growth and strength on your journey ahead this year. Some examples could be: Happiness The word you choose is like a power word, one that resonates with you and fills you with a positive energy that you’d like to cultivate. Ways to work with your power word: Choose a crystal that calls out to you. Cleanse it and dedicate it, hold it in your preferred hand and repeat your power word until you feel the stone is comfortable with the energy of it. You can carry the crystal, or sit with it and meditate on the word while you hold it. Remember crystals magnify energy so the word should take on a new meaning. Watch out for recurring words that might add additional meaning to the one you’ve chosen, feel what its like to link the words together. Write the word on a piece of paper, draw around it, stick pictures around it, add colour, or words that you feel link with the power word. Take photos of things that you can stick around the word to give it more energy. Create affirmations that you can use in conjunction with your power word. Switch on Reiki, visualise the word in your heart bathing it in pink soft loving light. Then move the word to your energy power house chakra – the Solar Plexus, see the word clearly here and bathe it in the colour yellow.
