Healing with the Energies of Heaven and Earth
a monthly newsletter from Hands of Serenity Healing
Summer 2010

Featured Gemstone
Amber

Amber gives a soothing, light energy that is both calming and energizing at the same. It cleanses its environment by drawing out negativity and is said to relieve physical pain in the same way. Brings the energies of patience, protection, psychic shielding, sensuality, balance and healing and calmness to those who wear or carry it.

Reiki Reflections

Each day, we have the opportunity to bring Reiki energy into our lives.  This beautiful healing force can become a part of our everyday activities.  Start and end each day in Gassho.  Recite the Reiki principles each morning and night to become mindful of their wisdom. 

This summer sees us facing great challenges to our beloved Mother Earth.  The Gulf oil spill continues to be at the forefront of environmental issues facing us.  The ramifications of this event will be felt in ways we have not yet begun to grasp.  Please consider, either individually or in groups, sending Reiki healing to the waters, the creatures that dwell there and those living in the area who have been profoundly affected by this event.
Visit www.grandmothersspeak.com to read the prayer for the Gulf from the Thirteen Indigenous Grandmothers and the Net of Light. 

Recomit to your own healing journey by promising (and delivering) Reiki to yourself every day.

Just for today, I will be kind to all living things and respect all life.

Simple SummerPleasures

Go for a walk at the beach.
Lay under the night sky and count fireflies.
Revel in the sensation of a thunderstorm.
